After realizing that Hirodod could possibly lead the Silver Moon Sect towards extremism, Li Yu also made appropriate adjustnts to his subsequent developnt plans.
He planned to expand the Black Armored Cavalry to three hundred n.
It wasn’t that more couldn’t be managed, but according to Li Yu’s vision for the Black Armored Cavalry, he hoped that this army could follow an elite route in the future.
Keep the number of personnel as small as possible, the equipnt as sophisticated as possible, and complent it with so modern technology to protect the sect.
Thus, when recruiting, it was impossible not to have requirents.
Age, physique, skills (this could be enhanced with training after recruitnt, but a minimal natural fighting talent was necessary), courage, and most importantly, they had to be sufficiently loyal in their thoughts.
It wasn’t necessary for them to be fanatics like the lizard people, but at least they had to tightly unite around Li Yu and absolutely obey his commands.
With these criteria in place, although the Double Rest Sect already had over ten thousand followers, it was still not easy to gather another two hundred from them.
Yet, Li Yu did not want to lower his standards; after all, his job was to spread teachings, not to start a revolution or establish a new regi.
If the sect’s warriors outnumbered the Sabbath followers, it would be sowhat preposterous.
Moreover, spring plowing had already begun, and with the full effort of the Arias family and the Double Rest Sect, the farrs of Green Field had been fervently reclaiming wasteland for so ti.
According to Miss Rabbit’s preliminary statistics, there was now about one-third more farmland in her territory than the previous year.
Considering there were still many followers of Pisya in Green Field, it was evident that the followers of the Double Rest Sect had been fully mobilized, and they were full of confidence about the future.
Now, on the newly divided ridges, everywhere were figures earnestly working with new farm tools.
Even Knight Pablo, who had always complained about disliking being bossed around, had changed his mind and began using the moldboard plow and seed drill in his own fields.
It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his pride; it was mainly because the new farm tools were indeed very appealing.
Seeing that the neighboring estates were all breaking new ground, Knight Pablo finally could not sit still.
No one would think they had too much money, especially since the Arias family had been so strapped for cash before, and obviously their vassals could not be much better off.
Knight Pablo’s two sons, one older and one younger, had already begun persuading their father not to be stubborn ten days ago, to trust Saturday and Prophet rlin. They even said Saturday had already blessed the land, and everyone just needed to plant openly.
Pablo, annoyed by their constant nagging, wasn’t unwilling to believe in rlin; it was just that thousands of years of tradition and ingrained beliefs were not easily broken.
So, he simply chose to avoid the frustration by going out for horse riding and hunting.
However, as he passed by other estates and saw the farrs working in the fields,
Pablo stood aside watching for a while, and after comparing it with the efficiency of his own serfs, he gave up hunting, slapped his horse, and turned his head to buy new farm tools from the Double Rest Sect.
At any rate, agriculture in Green Field was currently undergoing a revolution.
Furthermore, since Hirodod and Priest Martina still evidently viewed each other as their greatest rivals, they wouldn’t be attacking any ti soon, so Li Yu still focused his main attention on production.
However, Adelle still needed to be rescued; the little maid had already been missing for almost a month and a half, and Li Yu was growing increasingly worried about her.
Since Adelle was kidnapped and Li Yu returned to the Church’s residence, he always felt sothing was missing; the red brick house was eerily empty.
Later, Onund sent over his daughter, Alvo, to take care of the "Eco-friendly Frog" and to listen closely to Li Yu’s teachings.
Yet, Li Yu still felt sowhat uncomfortable, not because Alvo had once taken his "first blood."
After all, it had been a long ti, and Li Yu no longer minded being stabbed to death, especially since Alvo was now very respectful toward him, treating him as if he were the actual Sabbath himself.
But Li Yu still missed the days when Adelle was around, even if he ca back to see the little maid slacking off.
Li Yu had already called back Tom and others from the south; although Hirodod’s family was indeed there, Li Yu learned from Adelle that Hirodod’s connections with his family weren’t that close.
Moreover, Hirodod’s family in the western territory wasn’t so famous noble family; their power and influence were limited, so Hirodod probably wouldn’t use his family’s power to hide Adelle.
Therefore, continuing the search in the south was unlikely to bear hope.
Tom had boasted before leaving; now returning empty-handed, he was sowhat unable to save face. After hearing Li Yu’s analysis, he directly requested, "Then I’ll just go to Duolin City to demand people from Hirodod."
"The Figrola family’s diation failed, and Priest Martina has already led an army of six thousand to Duolin City, while Hirodod shows no signs of backing down, constantly recruiting believers and training new troops."
"They are likely to have a battle beneath Duolin City," said Li Yu. "You are a warrior of the Double Rest Sect; going to Duolin City now is not a good choice. It has already attracted a large number of fanatics from the Silver Moon Church, and no matter who ultimately wins, they won’t welco people from the Double Rest Sect."
"Then I’ll just act as a rcenary," Tom said nonchalantly. "Before I set off, I’ll take off the bracelet, leave behind any Dwarf Armor, Dragon Scale Shield, or anything else that might expose my identity. As long as I don’t say anything, no one knows where I co from."
"Besides that new army, Hirodod also holds so dark power in his hands," Li Yu warned Tom. "Those Black Armored Cavalry we had fought with that night probably belong to the latter. They’re definitely also secretly protecting Hirodod."
The latter flicked his increasingly thick hair showing a troubled expression, "That’s indeed a bit tricky... those guys are quite formidable, and every one of them is an expert."
"A direct confrontation definitely won’t work, and once they discover you’ve entered the city, it’s only a matter of ti before they find you."
Li Yu continued, "So the best thod is still to rescue her before Hirodod can react. The key is to find out where Mary is being held. How about this, besides the Three-eyed Divine Bird, I’ll lend you a few more Holy Artifacts"
Upon hearing this, Tom was overjoyed, "With the Holy Artifacts from you, Prophet, I can definitely bring Mary back safely."
Having said that, he saw Li Yu walk back into the house, and when he ca out again, he had a box in his hands. Inside were previously used eavesdroppers, surveillance caras, and the like.
Li Yu handed the box to Tom, and then taught him how to use each one, but regarding the last Holy Artifact, Li Yu didn’t take it out directly or tell Tom how to use it; he just told him to bring another person along.
