San Antonio, an ancient and powerful super empire, a strong candidate for the strongest country in the continent.?·Want to see h?
Its territory is huge, including the golden plains of the orcs' hometown, the vast mountains in the south, and even a wetland along the river. It can be said that it is rich in products and has a large population.
Among the big countries, it is relatively gentle towards foreign races, and because the land is so vast, there are large gatherings of foreign races, dwarves, and gnomes on the edge of humanity, and the war potential is extremely amazing.
Their royal families of all generations are also extremely open-minded and have strategic vision. Different from the consistent toughness of powerful countries such as Bayer, Oran, Solo Federation, and Ciro in the past, they prefer to use strategies to solve problems.
But compared to the elves who always hit themselves in the foot, their diplomatic strategies are quite tactful.
For example, in the north, they established the Kingdom of Cassolan (the principality), and its grand duke also had the status of a San Antonio noble. This was equivalent to building a wall to defend against the orcs in the north, and also inserted a wall in the north.
nail.
And when they found that the integration of the Northland could no longer be stopped, under the pressure of other major powers, they simply gave up on Kasolan, and even recalled the generals and San Antonio nobles who were still in the Northland.
Strategically speaking, this is undoubtedly extremely correct. It should be a good thing to shrink one's defensive position before the holy war. The northern orcs have no need to defend, but they can give up their extra "limbs" without hesitation.
It also proves the wisdom of decision-makers.??
At the beginning of the jihad, they launched several wars and occupied several small countries. However, when the crisis of the jihad was determined, they did not hesitate to spit out the territories of those small countries.
With the largest population, the largest food exporter, the strongest industrial potential, and the largest economic market, San Antonio has a candidate for the world seat in all aspects.
But in recent years, an incident has greatly weakened San Antonio's national power.
Apart from civil war, what else can weaken a country's strength faster?
The former emperor Hunter II suddenly died suddenly. Prince Winston and Princess Maria went to war, which lasted for three and a half years. In the end, there was no winner.
The situation became increasingly severe. They finally chose to shake hands and make peace. If I remember correctly, San Antonio is now divided into two parts by the golden waterway and the golden plain. The upper part belongs to Prince Winston.
The lower part belongs to Queen Maria.
In name, Queen Maria is the only legitimate one, but her decrees can only be effective among 40% of the country and 35% of the people. Prince Winston is the first prime minister of the empire, but in his territory, no one can
Treat him like an emperor.c
It is worth mentioning that Prince Winston is also the leader of the Imperial Knights, and at least 70% of the Imperial Knights are loyal to him, while Queen Maria is the most powerful demon sorcerer in the world, and her spell caster
The group and the familiar army are also the largest spell caster armies in the continent.
Originally, the citizens were disgusted with Queen Maria's identity as a demon sorcerer. But in these years of bloody wars, the Demon Queen used countless demon heads to prove that she was not the same person as the Abyss. She used the power of the Abyss to defeat the Abyss. The effect
Very good.
The most incredible thing to me is that Maria is also Ayer's envoy. In other words, she is deeply loved by the former God of Death, Iyer, and can even borrow Ayer's power. This is a bit incomprehensible to me.
I once asked about the God of Death in Hades, but I didn't get an answer. And Ayer had no intention of introducing it to the Hades side. When someone asked, he always smiled mysteriously.
It's just that now Maria can still borrow help from Ayer, and she is treated like a biological daughter... In private, there are indeed boring rumors of having an illegitimate daughter. But no one takes it seriously.
Closer to home, the entire San Antonio is now being invaded by a coalition of trolls and demons.
In Queen Maria's territory, the main enemies are the Balrogs and Fire Trolls that came out of the Sapphiron Mountains. The volcanic belt there has become an abyss of fire, from which the oblivious polluters and incinerators were born, and because the Queen herself is
The demon sorcerer who "should be purified" has a very bad relationship with the Holy Church and has no help at all.
The Amu mountainous area is the territory of Prince Winston. It is already the veritable first meat grinder in the continent. The main battle group of trolls is there, the chief Murkin is also there, and the Holy Church is there.
Although the defense line was built, the Angel Legion was completely wiped out three times there, and even the fortress was lost.
In this context, knights and mercenaries go there every day regardless of pursuing their dreams, and countless mutilated bodies and corpses are carried off the battlefield every day. My arrival, the arrival of an ordinary human paladin, is not
It stirred up a stir.
"The war is far away. It's a trivial matter on the border. San Antonio will definitely win the final victory."
"Have you heard that Her Majesty Maria and Prince Winston made a promise that whoever achieves the greatest results in the Holy War will be the only owner of this land after the war."
When we walked into the capital city of Kersten, the original capital of San Antonio, what we saw was not the scene of a panicked battlefield. The entire country had just woken up from the New Year, and the city was a scene of peace and prosperity.
In fact, many people in San Antonio were grateful for the arrival of demons and trolls. At least, they escaped from the damn civil war.
Their self-confidence and disapproval are emboldened. San Antonio's strong comprehensive national strength is one of them. However, the war has always been limited to remote mountainous areas. The big nobles and lords have not yet participated in the war, which also proves their confidence.
The first thing I did when I arrived in this city was to collect all kinds of intelligence.
It’s not that my hands are itchy and I want to do some obligations as a golden-armored demon-hunting knight, but the map and information I got from the Sun God Arroyo are too old. The maps and coordinates that were at least tens of thousands of years ago are long gone.
It's so different from reality. I need to find relevant maps, history, and geographical information to find out the specific location.
In terms of complete information and rich historical books, there is nowhere else that can compare to the imperial palace.
So, I simply came to visit him, just in time to meet Prince Winston here and see what kind of person he was.
But he didn't expect that in the palace of San Antonio, he would meet an unexpected person.
"Who are you……."
He was an old man with a kind-hearted face, but the holy light on his forehead was shining brightly, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly.
Although I have never seen him before, his photo stickers are everywhere across the continent, so it is unlikely that I will admit his mistake.
"Pope of the Holy Church? Carloma I?" (To be continued.)
