The Holy See of Light does not advocate indulgence but does not abstain from desire, so the atmosphere in the Middle Earth is relatively open, and indulgence in love is not an unforgivable sin. Looking at the entire Middle Earth world, the private lives of the aristocratic and priestly class are quite depressed, and many aristocratic girls are no longer virgins before getting married.

So Luo Daonan didn't find it strange at all to Zhao Qinghan deflowered by Meng Hu.

But Zhao Qinghan is famous for her, and nowadays, the princes are always willing to win her. How could they let her be picked by Meng Hu? Thinking of this, Luo Daonan couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Meng Hu. Poor country bumpkin, life will be very difficult for the future.

Meng Hu led Zhao Qinghan through the narrow passageway that was separated by the crowd, walked to the lower stairs north of the hall, then turned around and glanced around the hall with a bright look, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the current situation is very bad. Just last night, the barbarian cavalry was ambushed by the Mingyue bandits, and suffered heavy losses. It is difficult to do anything else."

"Ah? Why is this happening?"

"Didn't these savages behave very well?"

"I just said that these savages are useless at all."

"Now that I'm done, I lost the restraint of the barbarians, and the Mingyue bandits can concentrate on digging tunnels. How can I defend this city?"

As Meng Hu finished speaking, the hall immediately became a lively vegetable market. More than a thousand nobles and priests began to clamor, just like tens of thousands of fly buzzing in the sky, disturbing people's hearts. Zhao Qinghan's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown, and the smile on her pink face quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Silent! Everyone is quiet!"

The thunderous sound of the war eagle thunderously stirred the hall. The people who stood close to him almost even had their eardrums shattered. In a panic, they swallowed back the complaints that had reached their mouths. The clamoring hall suddenly became silent again.

Meng Hu nodded slightly to the Zhanying and turned to the others, his expression regained his indifference again, and then said: "There has never been an ever-winning general in this world, let alone an ever-winning army. What's more, the head coach of the Mingyue Bandits is Situ Rui, who is a famous general in the Middle Earth world. It is normal for the barbarian cavalry to be defeated!"

The hall was silent and no one dared to speak easily anymore.

"Now, I just want to tell you that Xiling City can be kept for at most for one month, but our reinforcements will take at least two months to arrive. If we don't find a way to change the situation, Xiling City will be broken in one month. Everyone who is lucky enough to stand here today will become the dead or captive of the Mingyue bandits!"

The faces of the nobles and priests of more than one thousand numbers gradually began to become pale. Of course, Meng Hu did not say anything in danger. If Xiling was really captured, the experiences of these nobles and priests would probably be many times more miserable than Meng Hu said. At that time, they would lose everything they had and become lowly slaves who could be ravaged by others.

In Middle-earth, prisoners of war have always been the biggest source of slaves. For example, the more than 50,000 prisoners of war captured by the Western Legion were afraid that they had been taken back to Xijing and auctioned in the slave market? Those young and strong prisoners of war will definitely be sold at a good price. However, these slaves, the treasury of the Mingyue Empire can add a considerable amount of income.

After scaring enough of these noble masters and priests, Meng Hucai continued to say, "However, things are not without room for recovery, it depends on whether you want to do it."

The priest Luo Daonan of the West hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously: "General Meng Hu, as long as he can defend Xiling and repel Mingyue bandits, everything else is easy to discuss. We will pay the military pay and we will raise the military rations. In short, Xiling City will ask you, General."

"Yes, yes, it's all up to the general."

"General, you must find a way to defend Xiling."

"You are now the only remaining division commander of the Western Legion, but we all count on you at the backbone of our western province."

As Luo Daonan finished speaking, a lot of flattery words poured out from the mouths of these nobles and priests, and then rushed towards Meng Hu like a tide.

Meng Hu was unmoved at all, and suddenly raised his right arm, and the man's flattery stopped like a knife cut.

Meng Hu continued: "As the acting commander of the Fifth Division of the Western Legion, it is my natural responsibility to protect Xiling. I will never shirk this. As long as I have a breath, I will swear to live and die with Xiling. But you should also know that it is not enough to defend the city with courage and determination."

"Oh." Luo Daonan said anxiously, "General, just say it, what do we do?"

Meng Hu sneered and said, "It's very simple. Donate half of your land and property. As long as you are willing to donate the land and property, this general can use this land and property to recruit an army of millions of people. It's no problem to defend Xiling. Of course, you can also refuse, and then take all your land, property and women to the Mingyue Empire as slaves and servants, and let others ravage."

"ah?"

"this……"

"that……"

The men in the hall looked at each other. Although they thought that Meng Hu would take the opportunity to blackmail, they never expected that Meng Hu would speak up and ask for half of their land and property under their name. Especially for the western priest Luo Daonan and several mansions, the black-robed priests were even green. Only the world has donated property and land to the church. When will the church have to donate property and land to the army? Isn’t this a mess?

"General Meng Hu."

Luo Daonan endured his unhappiness and frowned and questioned, "Our Holy See is just a welfare institution, and is only responsible for replacing the goddess of light to spread the gospel to the world. Although the property donated by the world has a lot of money, it has been used for public welfare undertakings such as raising orphans and helping victims, so there is no extra property under the name of the church."

"As for the land, there are indeed many under the name of the church, but they are all the land owned by the Goddess of Light. Our church is only responsible for the management, so we have no right to donate these lands."

Meng Hu smiled grimly and said, "Master Priest, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's the fact." Luo Daonan said anxiously, "swearing in the name of the goddess of light."

"Okay, very good." Meng Hu's mouth had a cold smile, and he raised his head and said loudly, "I believe everyone has heard what the Lord Priest said. He said that all the property donated to the church by the world has been used for public welfare undertakings such as raising orphans and helping victims, so there is no extra property in the church."

Luo Daonan felt a little uneasy and flattened his mouth to speak, but unfortunately Meng Hu didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

Before Luo Daonan could justify, Meng Hu continued to shout: "But General Ben received the news that mountain-like gold and silver treasures were piled up in the basement of Xiling Cathedral. Since the priest said that there was no extra property in the name of the church, then these gold and silver jewelry were definitely not from the church. It is very likely that the thief secretly hid in the basement of the cathedral."

Luo Daonan's face changed drastically and he said anxiously: "General Meng Hu, wait..."

Meng Hu's face darkened, forcibly interrupted Luo Daonan's words, shouting: "War Eagle!"

Zhan Ying took two steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed, "I'm in my position!"

Meng Hu shouted: "Let the troops immediately search Xiling Cathedral to look for the gold, silver and treasures hidden in the basement of the thieves."

"yes!"

Zhan Ying agreed and turned around and left.

"Wait, wait a moment."

Seeing this, Luo Daonan was anxious and waved his chubby hands desperately and shouted, "Meng Hu, what do you want to do? What power do you have to send troops to search Xiling Cathedral? Do you know that the Western Cathedral is a holy place for serving the goddess of light, but you sent troops to search. Do you want to blaspheme the sacred goddess of light? What is your intention?"

The War Eagle ignored it at all and had already left.

Meng Hu said coldly: "This general did not blaspheme the Goddess of Light. The one who blaspheme the Goddess of Light was the group of thieves who had privately hidden dirty silver. Lord Priest, you are so anxious, wouldn't you have any collusion with that group of thieves?"

"You..." Luo Daonan said furiously, "Slander, purely slander, Meng Hu, I originally wanted the Holy See to accuse you. If you want His Majesty the Emperor to accuse you, you not only slander the sacred priest of the red robe, but also blasphemed the supreme goddess of light. You, an evil pagan, will be despised by the world and judged by the empire..."

"Shut up!" Meng Hu said coldly, "Your matter is not over yet. You just said that the land under the name of the church belongs to the Goddess of Light, and your church is only responsible for the management. Just now, the people in the west are in trouble. The loving Goddess of Light will never watch her believers suffer. She will definitely agree to donate half of all her land. Lord Priest, please sign a land deed and donate half of all the land of the Goddess of Light."

"Impossible." Luo Daonan roared, "I will never sign this contract, never."

Meng Hu smiled and waved his hand and shouted, "Come."

Two guards stepped forward and sternly agreed: "Here!"

Meng Hu said: "Take the priest to the back to sign a contract."

At this time, Meng Hu had almost become an idol of the Western soldiers. His heroic performances that turned the tide several times not only made Meng Hu's reputation spread throughout the Middle Earth world, but also left him with an extremely tall image in the hearts of all the Western soldiers. At this time, seeing Meng Hu's order, the two guards set up the Western Priest without hesitation.

Luo Daonan howled and struggled, his voice gradually faded away and finally disappeared.
