"Langdon, please speak." Saint Katherina said.
Langdon thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Although the battle to attack Gruberg was a magnificent one, we still lost 13 brothers. We were lacking in the training of our soldiers and the command of the battle."
"Langdon, are you blaming Her Highness the Saint?" Susan said angrily. "Those 13 brothers died, and everyone was heartbroken. But they went to heaven and got the chance to serve our Lord forever. We should be happy for them."
"Susan!" Saint Katherina waved her hand to stop the conversation. Her azure eyes looked at Langdon calmly. "Langdon, I know your personality. You must have made a plan for this now. We are all brothers and sisters serving our Lord. Feel free to raise any question you have. Don't hesitate."
“Your Highness, I am not blaming anyone,” Langdon said solemnly. “It’s just that we, the Knights Templar, all come from humble backgrounds and have not received rigorous military training. We can fight alone, but we don’t know how to train an army or command a battle, so we lack the ability.”
Saint Katherina frowned slightly. She had already realized the problem, so she said, "Langdon, you are right, but no one is born a general. You Templars have received the grace of our Lord, so you should learn how to be a good general."
Langdon nodded and said, "Your Highness, if we have enough time, we Templars can learn slowly. But in the current situation, after we capture Gruburg, the Lord of Luan will surely be angry and take action. With our current strength and ability, we will suffer heavy casualties if we resist."
The other Knights Templar also nodded secretly in agreement. Even though they had tried their best to study and improve, after all, the time was too short and their foundation was too shallow.
"Langdon, what do you mean..." Saint Katherina groaned in thought, "You want to recruit a general with rich military experience to lead the army?"
"Your Highness, please understand." Langdon replied seriously.
Apprentice priest Harry said in a deep voice: "I object to this advice. Nowadays, most generals who are good at training soldiers and have rich experience in war are nobles. Don't you know what kind of people those nobles are? How many of them are sincere in serving our Lord? Maybe they will sell their brothers and sisters to the enemy during a battle command."
"I think Harry is right." Susan chimed in, "Those nobles are vampires who ride on the heads of the common people and eat people without leaving any bones."
The believers each held their own opinions and the disputes continued.
Saint Catherine remained silent for a long while, just listening to their speeches.
After repeated trials and tribulations, Catherina, who has taken on the great responsibility of being a saint, has matured rapidly. Her soul has become increasingly pure and solidified under the tempering of her firm faith, and she shows signs of evolving into a saint.
She did not make decisions easily, but let them think and act.
Those present are the elites and backbones who serve our Lord of Light. Giving them sufficient training will help improve their comprehensive abilities so that they can serve our Lord better.
After a long time, Saint Catherine stopped the believers and said in a clear voice: "You all have a point. However, not every noble in this world is evil. We can win over some nobles who are inclined to light. Don't worry, under the watchful eyes of our Lord, all false believers will be exposed. Whoever dares to betray, I will judge personally. Everything is for our Lord."
