When I was "on vacation" in the Elemental Battlefield, the whole world didn't stop either...
The war in the center of the continent has fallen into a strange period of confusion. Although the undead natural disaster has not stopped, the speed of its advance has been greatly reduced, and there is even news of an internal split within the undead army.
However, the resurrected troll empire, after crushing the defense line of the Templar Church, still maintained a strange silence and did not invade the hinterland of mankind as expected, which is a bit puzzling.
At this moment, there was a brief balance in the war on the continent. The gods were born to pay attention, and the mortals on the ground were waiting to see which race would be the first to break the balance and advance into the hinterland of mankind.
The one who strikes first does not mean the most profit. It is possible that the first bird will be beaten badly. Even though the war in the mainland is relatively balanced now, everyone knows that such days will not last... This land is destined to have only one
Race becomes dominant.
But in the remote Northland, the turbulent situation cannot be seen clearly. The assassinations of Roland and the Queen continue to ferment. The angry Lan Kingdom and the Elf Empire allied forces launched an attack. Under the absolute military oppression, the Moon Elf Kingdom fell into chaos.
In the chaos, the last time was spent shirking responsibility and looking for the "murderer".
When the army entered the city, the Lan Alliance did not express its past tolerance. On the contrary, hundreds of moon elf nobles were hung on the city wall every day. At first, they would hang a sign saying "rebellion", "treason" and so on.
The charges were later completely omitted, and string after string was hung on the city wall every day.
Officials, organizations, and institutions loyal to the Moon Elf Kingdom of the old era were directly uprooted, and the old nobles were completely purged. In the future unified Elf Empire, there is no need for such privileged elves to exist.
In the south, the Holy Alliance front is getting more intense, and the trend of containment is becoming more obvious.
"...It is the tragedy of mankind to still think about internal fighting at this time. The little guys from the Holy Church have become too popular..."
"Let's talk to each other, aren't you trying to trick the Holy Church?"
I shook my head helplessly. If I had a choice, I would really like to give up my prejudices and go through the difficulties with the Holy Church. After all, the days in the future will become increasingly difficult, but even if I tell the truth, no one will believe me.
.
"As you can imagine, for the member countries of the Lan Alliance during the trial period, those Holy Church churches will be furious by then. They spent so much effort to encircle the Lan Alliance, but they still left a hole..."
"Black-and-white political thinking has long been outdated. At this time, a walleye is more useful than a firm ally."
The Principality of Thorne and the Kingdom of Philtias, they had previously served as cannon fodder for the Unwritten Templar Church to deal with the Lan Alliance, and even took the initiative to join the Lan League.
And if you join the Lan League at that time, it will be equivalent to putting the hostility between the Templar Church and the Lan League on the table. Not only will the Lan League's defense plan have to be completely revised, but it will also bear a heavy burden of responsibility.
Once the Lan Alliance borders those countries of the "Holy Northern Alliance", I'm afraid there will be a few more kings who can't sleep at night in the future.
This is like a tiger sleeping on your bedside. Who dares to believe it when he says he doesn't eat meat? Then the Holy Church will connect with each other again. I'm afraid the anti-Lan alliance will be established.
This is obviously stupid. Not mentioning the long food supply line, turning future allies who have the same origin and no conflict into enemies is really not worth the gain.
This is also the purpose of the Holy Church. It does not need to do anything to the Lan Alliance. It only needs to provoke internal strife between other countries and the Lan Alliance so that you cannot develop with peace of mind.
My response is to give the Principality of Thorne and the Kingdom of Philtias a secondary (alternate) member status (temporarily created by someone). They do not need to bear the obligations of the Lan Alliance, but can obtain Lan Alliance when necessary.
However, there is no need for the Lan Alliance to provide military support.
This is obviously an unreliable scrap agreement, but it is a happy ending for both parties who signed the contract. The Principality of Thorne and the Kingdom of Philtias can still maintain their independence. Once the Holy Church persecutes too hard,
You can directly call Big Brother in the north for support.
The two countries can even join the "Northern Holy Alliance". Of course, if there are no other conditions, the two alliances will take effect at the same time, and then the blockade will be formed. However, there is an entrance and exit of the Lan Alliance above, and the blockade will not exist.
It makes sense.
Once the Holy Alliance forces the two countries, the Lan Alliance will definitely send troops. At that time, it will be clear who is reasonable and who is not.
Is the alliance between the candidate countries reliable? Not reliable at all, but the common interests make the alliance very effective. This may be just a political word game, but it is far more effective than going straight. I think the link between the two is real.
For their common interests, the two countries need a backing to support their independence, and the Lan Alliance needs a southern supply line.
The covenant politics of this world are still in the Middle Ages, and are relatively straightforward. Either it succeeds or it fails. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, but the strange covenant that is extremely strong because of the interests is related to it. This is also an idea I got from a case in another world.
Of course, the idea is good, but reality always has surprises of one kind or another.
The political situation in the Kingdom of Philtias has become unstable recently. Those loyal believers of the Holy Light Church have begun to gather without authorization, and the lords close to the Holy Church have begun to accuse the royal family of being ineffective in governing...
"I have guessed the developments that followed. The royal family must have suffered an unexpected incident and all of them died. The lords of the pro-Temple Church were instigated by public opinion to proclaim the king. The whole country began to turn southward. The Holy Temple Church was too familiar with this game.
It’s over.”
"...Do you plan to watch all this happen?"
"Of course not. Although the interests lie outside the country, we still have to fight for what should be fought. Spies and spies have been sent out long ago. The Lan Alliance has thrown out an elite team of a thousand people at once. Now the Holy Church and our espionage personnel should
You will be killed to death in other countries' countries. By the way, there is also an elite team of the Law Church, and we must not lag behind in spreading the doctrine."
For the benefit of their own organizations, intelligence officers from both sides fight to the death on the territory of a third country. Even if they are about to die, their identities will not be revealed. This scene has a sense of déjà vu in a spy movie.
But my revenge has just begun.
"Actually, I've been wanting to ask, what are you writing recently? "Estrada Quotes"? What kind of mess is this?"
"...For a church, there is nothing more fatal than internal divisions caused by doctrinal differences. In fact, in my opinion, Estrada is definitely more worthy of being called the Lord of Holy Light than Carolan."
"...a cult that divides faith?"
"Well, wouldn't you find it interesting to have a cult with a true god?"
"I think Estrada would disagree..."
"He's already a god in heaven. So what if he doesn't agree? Come down and bite me?"
In fact, I have always had this attitude towards gods. You have become a totem pole idol in heaven, why are you interfering in the mortal world?
I was trying to recall Estrada's words and deeds, and then recalled the ruthless reality that I was lazy during his lectures. In desperation, I began to make up nonsense.
"Tsk, anyway, other people who write quotations from their predecessors are all making up nonsense like this, and I am not the only one. Well, well, Estrada said; 'The Lord of Holy Light is a fool, come down and bite me if you have the ability.'
"
"...Estrada will really come down and bite you." (To be continued.)
