Chapter 151 Resentment
"We didn't reveal any flaws. All of our actions were in accordance with the holy scriptures of the Sun God Cult, and there were no omissions in the documents. Even the most orthodox Sun God Cult priests would not be able to discover any abnormalities."
Although Reinhardt has left many legends over the years, Shadow Crow will still value his opinion even if there is no relationship that could lead to him becoming a prince.
But even so, it was still difficult for Foley to conclude that his side had been exposed based on Reinhardt's words alone without any other signs.
After all, if they made such a judgment, their action plan would have to be completely changed.
"Indeed, there is nothing wrong with your disguise. Those Skitarii probably didn't notice anything."
The sound of the long sword rang out again in the room. His words only made Fulai more confused.
"But the Crusaders here are no longer normal members of the Sun God Cult."
Reinhardt had been sneaking in here for some time. Not long after he sneaked in, he gave up all ideas of contacting these Skitarii members.
The crusaders here were more extreme and fanatical than all the priests he had encountered before. Reinhardt noticed that they seemed to have no respect or obedience to the church anymore, and he could often hear them cursing the church.
They lack supplies and support from the church. In their eyes, these are proof of the church's "weakness" towards foreigners. Apart from allowing them to come here and fight against those foreigners, the church has not taken any practical action. They express dissatisfaction with these issues every day.
Every time they mention these dissatisfactions, they often mention the underground church. Most of these people have joined that church, and even those who have not joined have a sense of identification with the underground church.
The newly arrived crusaders are almost all extremists, and most of them were related to the underground church before arriving.
The underground church's way of doing things was somewhat different from the original church's scriptures. At this time, a team of traditional crusaders who completely followed the church's scriptures suddenly arrived as reinforcements. Of course, those crusaders who had a close relationship with the underground church felt something was wrong.
"The Crusaders here are no longer what you think they are. Their current way of doing things is different from the traditional Sun God Cult, and they also have their own understanding of the Holy Scriptures."
The crusaders here even changed the words they used in their prayers, and their descriptions of the sun god they believed in were also very different from the description in the original church scriptures.
"They probably still regard you as a test for the church headquarters. Since you both believe in the Sun God, they won't do anything to you for the time being."
But at least for now, they still consider themselves believers of the Sun God, and those priests in the church who are weak and dare not take heavy-handed measures against foreign races are just temporarily blinded and fail to see the current situation clearly.
Even if the investigators are sent by the church, it is not impossible to win them over.
Previously, an underground church successfully "converted" a group of priests who came to investigate the situation. Those priests eventually became members of the underground church and concealed the true situation from their superiors.
However, these church investigators are not their own people after all, and the crusaders here are still on guard against them. For example, they are arranged in this almost abandoned camp with no other troops stationed.
In this way, it would be difficult for the people of the church to get to know the true situation of these crusaders. If it was determined that these "people of the church" could not become their companions and began to resist, dealing with these people would not cause much additional damage.
"I need to inform our commander." This situation is not something a small captain like Foley can handle. Whether it is to start a rescue and break out, or to create chaos and let the elves outside take advantage, or to be feigned with the so-called crusaders here and implement the rescue as much as possible according to the original plan, the commander needs to make a decision.
"No problem, they are up there, and they should be looking for you."
Reinhardt waved her hand. She brought Foley and the others here just because of a misunderstanding. She had no intention of locking them up and preventing them from leaving.
"correct."
Reinhardt stopped Foley who was about to leave.
"Your mission target is not usually in the dungeon below the interrogation room. She will only be transferred to the dungeon when she needs to be interrogated."
According to Reinhardt's understanding of these Yingyamen, as long as the mission has not reached a point where there is no clear chance of success, they will try to complete their mission according to the original plan.
Every bit of additional intelligence could help these people survive.
Reinhardt waved again, signaling them to leave.
The room became quiet again, with only Reinhardt and the sword beside him.
"Really can't you help them?"
Reinhardt was not optimistic about these Shadow Crows, as they would probably suffer heavy casualties in the battle. After all, although they were familiar with the Holy Scriptures of the Sun God Cult and had also learned about the combat power of the Skitarii, they had never really fought against the Skitarii.
There are still some differences between practice and theory. With the abilities of Shadow Crow and others, it doesn't take much time to eliminate the impact of these differences. Maybe after one or two battles, they will be able to formulate a new battle plan against these so-called Crusaders.
But now they were trapped in the enemy camp, and they probably only had one chance to fight: either break out or be wiped out.
But if Reinhardt takes action, everything will be different. Although it is impossible for Reinhardt to annihilate these Crusaders by himself, there will be no problem for him to assist these Shadow Crows in rescuing people and then breaking through.
"Of course you can help them, but the news that Reinhardt attacked the Crusaders and openly opposed the church will soon spread to the surrounding kingdoms. Then, the underground church will lie dormant again and accumulate strength, and all the clues you have worked so hard to find will be invalidated, and you can only continue to run around like a headless fly."
The sword's words forced Reinhardt to hold back the urge to attack.
"Your most important task now is to stop the spread of those underground churches in the Wind Whispering Principality."
Reinhardt heard a conversation above his head. Foley had met with their commander and told him what had happened to him. Reinhardt could barely hear some of the conversation. It seemed that they were still planning to carry out the rescue as planned.
