Chapter 406: Burden of the Empire (2)
While Fabio was pondering how to take over the New World and pass down wealth and honor to his family for generations, Pastor Stefano was following the Elector of Wittenburg in the army.
As a priest, he wanted to help the soldiers under the Elector of Wittenburg find psychological stability through religion and pray together for their souls to be saved...
“Stop! Please stop! No matter how much they are the enemy, you must not kill or harm people indiscriminately!”
Stefano shouted as he ran, forgetting that he was out of breath.
He then blocked the soldiers who were trying to kill men and rape or sell women.
Stopping the soldiers who were not receiving proper wages for a long time and were surviving by plundering and deviating (rape, murder, etc.) to some extent was no different from asking for my death.
‘Even if I die, I must save at least one more person.’
Pastor Stefano had no qualms about giving up his life for others, whether he could die or not.
No, he was ready to jump into the fire if he could save many people by dying.
“Although they believe in the Deus religion, which is full of rotten priests who sell indulgences, they are also people who serve the same Deus as you. They have the same skin color, the same eye color, and they cry when they are sad and laugh when they are happy! How can you kill or sell them just to make a little more money?”
“But, Pastor... We also have to eat to live.”
“Did I stop you from taking the food and money that you won in the war? Take it. But before you take it, leave at least a little food for these poor people. They are just like you, so you can’t starve them to death just because you lost the war.”
