Sylvanas officially proclaims herself emperor. From this moment on, the empire is her and she is the empire.
However, in addition to Sylvanas proclaiming herself emperor, another more important event even overshadowed Sylvanas's proclaimed emperor, and that was the fact that Link was suddenly made pope by God the Father!
If Sylvanas's proclaimed emperor was just a big storm that had been brewing for a long time, then Link's ascension to the throne was a sudden earthquake that made countless people feel panic and hesitation, especially the major cities in the Empire of Stars.
Church, they immediately felt an existential crisis, which was the last thing they wanted to see.
Whether it was Sylvanas praying to Father God or a miracle coming, Link personally crowned Sylvanas, setting an unstoppable trend, that is, from now on, there will be only one religion left in the Star Empire.
the sound of!
Therefore, the major churches fell into a state of panic, hesitation, helplessness and anger. They felt that they had been deceived by Sylvanas and the empire, and they also felt that the god they believed in was so small and untrue.
You must know that the miracle performed in the sky above Xingyao City was seen by millions of people at the same time. The real gesture makes it impossible to associate it with illusions. If the miracle produced under that situation is fake, it must be a blasphemous performance.
God cannot ignore it.
But the result is that the gods believed in by major churches don't even give a shit. Just like their reaction for hundreds of thousands of years, even loyal believers can't help but wonder what is wrong with the gods they believe in.
.
In fact, even if there is no miracle, the major churches will feel desperate, because the Holy Mother Ship is there. Even if Link does not use the miracle package, just taking out the Holy Mother Ship for a walk, he can crush what is left of the churches.
little thoughts.
Facing the flying fortress in the sky, even the super strong will lose their fighting spirit, because the more powerful the person, the more they will feel that the Mother Ship is invincible.
Of course, this enthronement ceremony not only brought an impact to the major churches in the empire, but also was full of shock and impact to people in other countries.
As the Roland Empire gained momentum in the Holy War, the emerging force of the Air Force also attracted the attention of various countries. During the war, the Roland Empire crashed many airships. Although most of them were recovered or destroyed, some of them are still living in the wild.
After going out, it was acquired by major powers and began to research airships.
Although the effect is not yet obvious, various countries have somewhat understood and made breakthroughs in the air force.
But just when all the countries were at a standstill, the Mother Ship appeared. The airship troops of the Roland Empire became childish. The extreme visual and powerful impact suffocated the personnel from various countries and frightened them.
extremely.
Who else can stop the Star Empire with such a large flying ship?
It is not modest to say that the emergence of the Mother Ship is equivalent to when all countries are still fighting with wooden ships. Suddenly a country takes out the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, both in terms of technology and visual impact.
It has reached a level unimaginable by other countries.
This is a nuclear deterrent level thing!
After today, except for the Roland Empire, other countries will never dare to offend the Star Empire rashly. However, the Roland Empire came under the banner of holy war and did not send anyone to participate in the enthronement ceremony. The deterrence of the Mother Ship is not for them.
Not much. So they will still stick to their original strategy and continue to press against the new Star Empire step by step.
Of course, the Star Empire doesn't care, because these two old and new empires must have a battle. As long as other empires don't interfere.
This is also the purpose of the Star Empire. Although the Star Empire is strong now, its rapid rise has also made the country full of hidden dangers. The Star Empire will not continue to expand in the short term, but will make every effort to solve many domestic problems. In this way, if other countries take advantage of the opportunity
If you do anything to the Empire of Stars, it will make the situation that is not good become worse, which is something the Empire of Stars does not want to see.
But after this unprecedented enthronement ceremony, as long as other countries are not mentally retarded, they all know that the Empire of Stars is not something to be trifled with. Not to mention the Mother Ship, the mere sight of a miracle will make other countries think carefully before touching the Empire of Stars.
It will not offend the gods.
Although most of the so-called gods are fake, as long as they are not absolute atheists, they all have half-doubts about the existence of gods. After all, there are countless religions in this world. Even if you don't believe in them, you will have doubts subconsciously.
In this way, the miraculous rituals during the enthronement ceremony can form an invisible deterrent to all countries. Facing a great god who performs miracles, not many countries are willing to take the risk of offending the god and offending the already weak Star Empire.
, even if it is a pope-shaped country.
Late at night at the end of the ceremony, Link and Sylvanas were drinking wine in the emperor's office in the palace. Link smiled and said to Sylvanas: "How was it? Your Majesty, my promise has been fulfilled.
Father God has sent down a divine grace. From now on, before the arrival of the Roland Empire, you can safely and boldly develop the empire."
Sylvanas nodded, with a faint smile on her face.
It turns out that the night before the enthronement ceremony, Link and Sylvanas were talking about the so-called miracle. At that time, Sylvanas was still dubious and a little disgusted with Link's coronation.
However, after Link analyzed the pros and cons for Sylvanas and promised some benefits, Sylvanas finally agreed and directed the enthronement ceremony with Link.
Of course, in Sylvanas' view, the appearance of God the Father was real, and Link did not tell Sylvanas the true situation.
After three rounds of drinking, Sylvanas shook the glass of wine and said: "Pope Neil... No, I should call you His Holiness the Pope now. From now on, the empire's faith will gradually become the only thing left."
I would like to teach you something, so I hope your Majesty can solve the domestic troubles."
Link nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised. Moreover, solving these troubles is also related to the future of my religion in the empire. I don't want to be bitten from behind by some ants at a critical moment."
"Well, I also believe in the ability of Your Majesty and your sect." Sylvanas smiled slightly, and then she changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, there is another agreement, I hope you don't forget it."
Hearing this, Link's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he said with a smile: "Of course, your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will not forget this agreement. Twenty years from now, if your Majesty still has no partner, I am willing to give birth to a baby with you."
A son to continue the glory of the empire."
This is another agreement between Link and Sylvanas, and it is also the key to Sylvanas' true willingness to accept Link's coronation. Otherwise, with the character of the queen, she would not accept it even in exchange for benefits with the empire.
This kind of thing, because it means that the empire will be invisibly controlled by the Father God Cult in the future and will be inferior to the Father God Cult.
But if Link is willing to have a child with Sylvanas, it will be different. We all become a family in form. Even if there is no title, as long as the child is Link's, Sylvanas believes that before her own child can do it, it will be different.
As the heir to the empire, Link, who has little desire for worldly power, will definitely try his best to protect his children.
This is another exchange of interests between the superiors. It's just that both parties in the exchange are willing to do so, so it doesn't really count.
I have to say that Link has figured it out. Since the woman took the initiative to deliver the empire to his doorstep, he is still struggling. Although he is not interested in becoming an emperor, it does not mean that he does not want his descendants to become emperors. As for Dangdang,
What the empire will become in the future is beyond his control. At that time, whether he will be the Pope or not is another matter. If future generations are unable to maintain the empire he and Sylvanas built, they will be destroyed.
have nothing to say.
Early the next morning, Link took the Father's Cult members back to the City of God's Favor, and then ordered the senior leaders of the Father's Cult to begin a purge operation.
The so-called purge operation is to purge the heretical churches in the empire. This was a plan that was prepared many years ago. It was only a plan because of the agreement with Sylvanas.
However, the senior leaders of the Father God Church knew that this plan would be put into action sooner or later, so they never gave up and continued to improve and improve it. Now, it is a complete plan that takes into account all aspects.
What Sylvanas called trouble last night was the other churches in the empire. Now that they have decided to fully cooperate with the Father God Religion, these major churches that were originally used to check and balance the Father God Religion have no use value and meaning of existence.
, it is inevitable to clear it out.
Perhaps hundreds of thousands of people will die during the purge, but for Sylvanas, who has reached her current status, as long as she can relieve her worries and stabilize the country, she will die even if millions of people die, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people.
Won't blink an eye.
You know, the population of the Star King is now as high as 40 million. Hundreds of thousands are really not a number. If Sylvanas is willing, she can even plunder millions of people at extreme times. In her opinion, the surrounding area
The country is her back garden. If the population is scarce, then just plunder it.
National culture and the like are not a problem. The world of Sorak in this era is far from forming the kind of national and racial consciousness on earth. The major powers and empires are okay, but the citizens of those small countries really have no identity with their own country.
Gao, if we can provide them with a better life than before, coupled with some brainwashing education, it will only take a dozen or even a few years for those new citizens to become imperial citizens.
In this case, Sylvanas gave full play to the characteristics of the Iron-Blooded Queen and made only one request to Link, that is, not to cause chaos in the country. As long as this can be guaranteed, even if the Father God Church converts those heretical churches
It doesn't matter if all the people are slaughtered.
Cruel and cold-blooded decision!
Sylvanas is such a king, but it is precisely because of this kind of thinking that she was able to build an above-average kingdom into an empire in just a few years, with strong domestic troops and a high sense of belonging among the core citizens.
As long as she doesn't make a big mistake, even if the Roland Empire comes to attack, it will be difficult to shake the Star Empire's status in Orui Continent. (To be continued...)
