Chapter 1725 Let’s Go Get [White Wolf] Askan’s Vote!
New legend.
The twentieth legend.
From the Glorious Holy See, exclude those who have been in charge of the Governor-General of the New World all year round, exclude those who listen to orders but not propaganda, exclude those who wander around without showing up at all, exclude those who explore different spaces...
There are only twelve legends that can be used directly. As for the Magic Council, the number of legends sitting in Nevis has returned to eight. If this new legend is added, the number will be nine.
"Nine versus twelve...the possibility of attacking the Kingdom of Kent is getting smaller and smaller..."
We even have to prepare for the Magic Council’s counterattack! A legendary mage rushes in alone, goes to a certain city to bomb a city, pulls out a cathedral and leaves...
The leader of the Holy Knights, His Excellency [Pale Sword] Ebi Lucio, silently grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. He himself has never done such a thing, but the Holy Knights definitely did a lot when they were performing tasks outside:
When the lambs are hungry, thirsty, tired, in pain and embarrassment, and beyond the reach of human power, they will need the grace of the Lord and need to pray to the Lord devoutly.
Ebi Lucio himself does not agree with this argument, and does not allow his subordinates to do this. However, there are many people who do this in places beyond his sight;
In the local church system and the tribunal system that he has no control over, there are even more people who do this...
Moreover, what confused him was that even if he did such a thing, there would be no divine punishment.
God's grace to evildoers has not diminished. Those who firmly believe that they are pursuing God's will and contributing to the promotion of God's grace can also be promoted normally on the path to the priesthood...
In the end, Ebi Lucio could only talk secretly and pray silently: Lord, your will is so profound that even a humble person like me cannot fully understand it.
Then, restrain yourself and those around you more strictly, and continue on your own path firmly.
Even though he and his close subordinates have never done this kind of thing, Ebi Lucio is still worried when he sees that others may do this. Not only for the suffering that the people may suffer, but also for the weakening of the power of the Holy See.
There is a saying, when it comes to doing destruction work, magicians who master the power of elements are much more efficient than priests who master the power of divine magic and warriors who can only wield swords!
If the damage caused by a warrior is 1, a cleric can reach 10, and a magician of the same level can do at least 50 to 100 damage if he only focuses on causing damage!
"One is ebbing and the other is ebbing." He heard the chief referee's voice ringing beside him, hard, tight, and dark and deep:
"We have to think of a way to contain them. If we don't contain them, it will be too late - as priests, can we only hope in the grace of our Lord?"
"Front confrontation won't work." Abby Lucio responded reflexively:
"Now is not the time to start a war. Moreover, I have received intelligence that those pagans have attracted allies from other races——"
"Of course, I got it too." The chief referee replied impatiently. There are dragons flying openly on the seaside and building nests openly, not hiding from the sight of mortals at all: isn't this just claiming that the dragons had a hand?
There are also dragons who come and go in the city of pagan magicians. According to very secret and unreliable news, there are also elves there, very powerful elves...
hateful!
Those big reptiles, those pointed ears, thousands of years ago, humans spent a lot of effort to drive them out of the continent and let the most abundant land belong to humans.
Until now, the orcs can only stay in the hot desert, the dwarves can only hide in the bitter cold Black Gate Peninsula, the barbarians are in the wasteland, and the dragons and elves are almost extinct on the mainland.
Those magicians and pagans, in order to gain an advantage in the internal struggle of mankind, did not hesitate to introduce alien races into mankind! ! !
"Now is not the time for a full-scale war, of course I know that." The Chief Referee's voice was light and a little cool, like a snake crawling silently:
"But we have to do something. If we can't start a frontal war, then we should contain it from the side, make the border inspections stricter, and let those messy things come in less. Then, try to gather as many forces as possible-"
"for example?"
"For example, the Kingdom of Brolin and the Kingdom of Rhine. Those royal families and those big nobles, if you can win over one more, try to win over one more! And those heretics! Try to kill as many as possible. As long as those heretics are around, some big nobles will not listen. our!"
On the throne at the end of the conference room, the Pope lowered his eyebrows and remained motionless, just holding the scepter in his hand tightly. On the top of the scepter, a drop-shaped sapphire as big as a pigeon's egg shone brightly, making his features look older and his hair sparse and white.
Since the explosion of the Glory Holy City, he has released many large-scale magical spells and traveled among various forces, which has really made him old and haggard.
Even so, he still perfectly maintained the Pope's demeanor, his expression was calm and compassionate, and he remained silent - I watched you argue, and I waited for you to come up with a plan.
Sure enough, the local church and several cardinals started arguing with each other:
"The Brolin royal family has always been loyal to my lord."
"Several big nobles in the Kingdom of Brolin, such as the Duke of Leon, the Duke of Basque, and the Duke of Catallo, are very close to the royal family and are also close to the Holy See. Almost all the government affairs in their territories are entrusted to Priests."
"The Capetian Kingdom is also obedient to our Lord... It is not surprising for secular people to seek power on earth, but so far, our churches and clergy have not been affected..."
"The King of the Kingdom of Rhine, Joseph I, has recently sought the title of Emperor. The King of the Kingdom of Boi also respects and obeys us..."
All said and done, the most troublesome areas are the Netherlands and the two border vassals of the Rhine Kingdom.
There was a war in the Netherlands, and the church was basically torn down and smashed. The Holy See system was almost destroyed. Even if the Holy See launched a war again, it would not be able to gain the advantage of fighting on the mainland.
What's more, the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Kent are separated by the Hall Strait, so it's very convenient for the magicians to go there for support!
"So, Saxony or Askan?"
[Pale Sword] Abby Lucio asked in a low voice. The Holy See headquarters, which had just bombed the Glory Holy City and relocated in embarrassment, urgently needed to re-establish its majesty and show its power.
The best way to establish authority is to find an opponent and fight. Annexing a territory, oppressing all the forces in this territory to belong to oneself, and intimidating the surrounding forces——
It's not okay to fight against an opponent who is too strong, as that will drain one's blood. For example, the Vampires in the Black Forest, although their area is not particularly large, the dark sky that covers them all year round is particularly difficult to deal with.
Not to mention, in the center of the Black Forest, the ancestor of the vampire family is sleeping, and according to records, he is a demigod. Even if you use high-level magic to kill him, the Holy See's losses will definitely be very heavy.
There is no need to fight against an opponent that is too weak, such as a barbarian tribe in the wilderness. So what if we defeat the troops on an expedition? Meaningless!
Only these two vassal states have always been disloyal, disobedient, and stubborn. They openly tolerated heretics, openly intercepted and even expelled the troops sent by the Holy See to arrest the leaders of the heretics.
Of these two vassal states, it is best to defeat one or subdue the other - it is best to subjugate and annex the other. Only in this way can we intimidate all parties, and only then can we use the momentum of victory to snowball other small nobles who have dissident intentions -
"Saxony."
To the right of the Grand Referee, a knight in black armor with a solemn face said in a deep voice:
"Frozen Flower is a female knight after all. As long as her husband dies and there is a knight who is loyal to the Holy See as her husband, she will naturally gradually lean towards the Holy See. Otherwise, a woman will compromise for her children..."
The Pale Sword immediately frowned deeply. To kill an innocent man, to interfere with a lady's marriage beyond her father, to force her into submission, to take her children hostage...
He subconsciously raised his head, and happened to look at the opposite Mr. Sigifrey, the [Unsullied Walker], and both of them saw the disapproval in the other's eyes.
However, simply using this reason to answer will definitely lead to a messy rebuttal:
What brings people close to the Lord is the greatest favor to them, what allows a sinless soul to ascend to heaven is a good thing, and who should draw a clear line between people who do not believe in God...
Plus a long paragraph of scriptures, endlessly. He couldn't argue every time.
Precisely because he couldn't argue every time, he abandoned his position and fled into the wilderness.
Wait first, wait and see what others say... If it doesn't work, the most you can do is raise your fists and have a fight...
"Inappropriate." Sure enough, someone from the Cardinal's side spoke. The archbishop who spoke leaned forward with a sincere expression:
"The Duke of Saxony is in his prime. This golden lion is not simple - to say the least, even if we manage to get a daughter, the Duke of Saxony will not be unable to give birth!"
Whenever he gives birth to another son, according to the inheritance law of the Kingdom of Rhine, the son's inheritance ranking is higher than that of his daughter!
"What about Askan?"
"White Wolf is already old. Big Bear is no longer young either. White Wolf has five sons, three of whom were killed in the war. Two are incompetent and one is spoiled. There are some outstanding grandsons, but they are not old enough to hold a big position. situation;
Big Bear had four sons, two died in the war and one was reckless and violent. The remaining one was injured and paralyzed, and could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but he was the shrewdest one...
As for the paralyzed son, he was married before going to war, but had no children.
There is only one illegitimate son, who is 31 years old this year and already at level 14. He has repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield and is the most outstanding one among his grandchildren. Seeing that after one more breakthrough, I will be able to take charge of the family's divine sword..."
The intention in this exposition is clear. [Pale Sword] frowned:
"So what do you mean?"
"What I mean is to support a person with enough potential and a desire for the Holy See to inherit the Northern Territory. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Askan Territory will not be reduced, but the power of the Holy See will be expanded, right? "
