Chapter 479 Attack on Idar, special operations plan!
Bruno never believed it,
The church does not know that what it is doing is seeking the skin of a tiger.
But the church still did it, and it took hundreds of years of planning.
And this...
This is exactly what makes Bruno hate him so much.
Although relying on the existence of the wonder construction system and the fearless exploration of Idar soldiers, Bruno can indeed learn many secrets that are difficult for others to access.
But that's not enough!
Bruno still needs to know more, because only by knowing more in detail can he avoid making wrong judgments! Only then can he find the weaknesses of the church!
And there is no doubt that,
The information that was presented to his desk this time, the information that Major Alme Weasley and others took great risks to send back, provided Bruno with an extremely important decision-making reference.
The frequency of the birth of mutant species is related to the activity level of the god's remnant.
This is the most important discovery brought about by this exploration!
But what’s thought-provoking is…
This sentence actually has two completely different ways of interpretation.
The first interpretation is that the gods are not completely dead yet.
Although the church had even reached a certain consensus with the divine corpse it had stolen, it had never been able to control this existence beyond human limits.
As for the other interpretation, it is a bit interesting.
That is...
The church’s plan to create gods has, to a certain extent, achieved a breakthrough! (Chapter 425, 426)
If this is really the case,
Then it is very likely that the first Pope O'Brien is still alive. Even if there is a variable like the Principality of Idar, everything is still going according to his plan.
even……
If that old monster is still alive, then he may have touched that threshold that sounds out of reach!
And if it is really as mentioned in the second interpretation, then what makes the gods' evil thoughts more active is not the gods who are not yet dead, but the first Pope O'Brien himself!
No matter which of these two results is right or wrong, this is definitely bad news for the Principality of Idar!
…
Although Bruno has already had a very clear self-awareness that he is a time-traveler, his time-travel experience is very similar to that of most protagonists of online novels, so his life will never be smooth sailing.
But when he first came to this world, Bruno still had a trace of expectation.
He looked forward to being able to enjoy a life completely different from his previous life as a border noble.
Because no matter which time traveler you are, deep down in your heart, you probably don’t want to live a life of fighting, killing, and facing threats all day long.
Instead of wandering on the edge of life and death day after day, he finally breaks out of his cocoon and becomes a butterfly, tearing apart the galaxy with his hands...
Bruno prefers to be more salty, relying on his forward-looking vision to make some small inventions and creations, and then spend the rest of his life with a girl he loves.
Isn't this kind of life bad?
But obviously...
For Bruno, a time traveler, this is destined to be just a luxury.
First, Earl Sauron frequently provoked,
Then Odin rides his iron horse through mountains and rivers,
Immediately afterwards,
The empire split, the church entered,
The Forgotten Land, thousands of miles apart, has never been stable, and the situation on the mainland is also turbulent.
At the beginning, Bruno just hoped that he could be alone.
So now...
There is an additional responsibility on his shoulders.
From the inconspicuous wild land on the border to the miraculous land dominating the east,
Bruno has devoted countless efforts to this land,
With his forward-looking vision and the various buffs brought by the wonder construction system,
The Idar people, who originally had a low level of prenatal education per capita, actually created this incredible miracle under the leadership of Bruno.
Now that I think about it,
Even Bruno Stuart himself seemed to feel a dream-like feeling.
so……
These monstrosities brought about by the Light Church certainly give people a headache.
But the responsibility in Bruno's heart, the pride that belongs to the time traveler, will never allow the church to act so wantonly under his nose!
Did he turn against you?
It was with this idea in mind that the Principality of Idar sent troops.
Yes,
When Major Alme Weasley was deep in danger in the Forgotten Land, walking on the edge of life and death, the Idar army stationed in Idar itself was also not idle.
Under the personal command of Idar Army Lieutenant General Sam Layton,
Idar's army was divided into three groups, rushing ahead of the Church of Light and occupying the vast territory in the eastern part of the Valens Plains with lightning speed.
This also caused the Idar people's military frontier to be directed at the Third Legion of the Crusaders entrenched in the Kelvin Basin.
Shakespeare once said, whether it is a mule or a horse, it must be led out for a walk.
The Idar people have never been afraid of war, even if they were facing the Crusader Legion, which had been unstoppable before, they were not afraid at all.
The worst case scenario is just a fight! It’s not like I haven’t fought before!
On one side was the Holy Crusaders who took several months to defeat Saint Lawrence, and on the other side was the Idar army who used a week to disintegrate the Kingdom of Basel.
Although taking into account the cards held by the Church of Light, Lieutenant General Sam Layton cannot guarantee that the Idar army has a 100% certainty of victory, but at least... the Idar people will definitely not lose!
The worst case scenario is a draw!
No matter how bad the situation is, the gradual introduction of the "Explorer" A-type light armored infantry vehicle will allow the Idar army stationed at the front to retreat safely.
And obviously,
For various reasons, the current Church of Light has no plans to confront the Idar people head-on, so after occupying the Kelvin Basin, the Church of Light stopped its pace of expansion.
therefore,
After this experience,
The territory that once belonged to Rez has now been carved up by three parties.
in,
The Church of Light occupies the most land.
Including the imperial capital of St. Lawrence, the vast plains south of the Albona River and the Kelvin Basin bordering the Valens Plains were all captured by the Church of Light.
The Principality of Idar received the least land, and only completed its rule over the entire Valens Plains.
This is not because Bruno is not enterprising, but because the territory of the Kingdom of Basel has not been fully digested. If he eats too much in one go, it will not only easily lead to indigestion, but also make the food look a bit ugly.
only……
Apart from the Principality of Idar and the Church of Light, the force that carved up the remaining territory under Rez's rule was not the Kingdom of Cecil.
two years ago,
After finding out who was the kind father between himself and the Principality of Idar, the Odin Empire in the north of the continent stayed honest for a while.
Valley/span After all...
Whether it is the prosperous Hobbs Port or the Dorne Port adjacent to the Forest of Warcraft,
These concessions located within the Odin Empire but controlled by the Idar people all demonstrate to the Odin Empire the strong national power and profound heritage of the Idar Principality.
But the Odins can afford to offend the second prince Rez, who is on the verge of collapse of the Principality of Idar!
indeed,
before that,
The Odin Empire once signed an armistice agreement with Reitz, but the problem is... Reitz is dead now, so the Odin Empire will naturally not watch such a big piece of fat slip away from its eyes.
then,
Tens of thousands of Odin's cavalry, almost like a "big snow dragon riding down the south of the Yangtze River", destroyed all obstacles on the way forward.
Not only did it expand the southern border of the Odin Empire to the Albona River, it also occupied the fertile Sogn Plain.
As for the Kingdom of Cecil...
Well, since the Church of Light conquered St. Lawrence, the Kingdom of Cecil has clearly realized the powerful strength possessed by the Church of Light.
Then……
As King Cecil, Mankiw Blood suddenly realized a very serious problem.
first,
The Odin Empire has Odin's Iron Riders that span the continent, and the Cecil Kingdom cannot defeat them.
Secondly,
The Cecil Kingdom was unable to rush into the city of St. Lawrence with a desperate offensive like the Crusaders.
and then,
The Kingdom of Cecil, which occupies the western part of the continent, is naturally unable to compete with the Principality of Idar, which is located in the eastern part of the continent.
so,
In summary,
After a series of thoughts,
King Mankiw Blood, who was still very smug at first, suddenly realized that he seemed to be the weakest among the forces in the Norman Empire!
This is no longer just a dish, it’s a dish that has its feet!
This undoubtedly confused King Cecil.
It shouldn’t be!
Isn’t the western part of the empire the most prosperous place on the continent?
Why did it suddenly become like this?
As a normal person, Manqun Blood, the original king of Cecil, could never have imagined that he would face Bruno, who was a bad guy, and the man who had devoted himself to creating gods and hoarding power for hundreds of years.
Church of Light.
so……
Today, the Cecil Kingdom can only pursue an extremely conservative defense policy and is always alert to threats from the outside.
As for the land and wealth left behind by the fall of Rez, they did not dare to fight for it rashly no matter what.
Although King Cecil Mann Blood also cares about the dignity of the nobles, he is not ignorant, let alone stupid!
He has realized that if the Cecil Kingdom does not catch up with its current situation, the Cecil Kingdom will make the same mistake as Reitz sooner or later!
It is precisely because of this that
Only when the Cecil Kingdom received the news from Viscount Danielson,
Only by decisively sending students to study in Iraq, could they begin to try to accept the views of the Idar faction and purchase arms from the Principality of Idar.
"Is it time to test the Light Church?"
Looking at the new current situation map hanging in the study and the territory of Idar that had expanded several times in just a few years, Bruno couldn't help but murmur.
The news from the Forgotten Land had reminded him that the Principality of Idar would certainly become more powerful as time went by, but... wouldn't the Church of Light not do the same?
Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help shouting towards the door: "Krel?"
The voice fell,
I saw Krell, the director of the Idar CIA, entering in response: "Your Majesty the Duke."
Due to the SS-level confidentiality level, this information from the Forsaken Land was compiled and submitted by Krell himself.
Therefore, he had been waiting outside the study room before.
"What is the Church of Light doing during this time?"
"foreign?"
Bruno shook his head and said: "Internally."
"Probably because of the approaching winter, the Church of Light has been trying its best to avoid direct conflict with us since occupying the Kelvin Basin. However, at the same time, they have not shown any signs of attacking the Kingdom of Cecil and other forces.
The plan to attack seems to be more or less on the wane."
"But internally..."
"During this period, the church seems to have become addicted to the sale of indulgences. It has been focusing on promoting different levels of indulgences and...recruiting manpower to build statues of gods."
"Idol?"
Bruno couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Yes! It's the giant statue located on the ridge outside the holy city of Bethlehem!" Krel affirmed.
Bruno naturally knew about the construction of the Colossus.
Probably just after he traveled through time, the Regent Council at that time issued a special order to recruit manpower from the noble territories in various places. Even the Idar Territory also sent a construction team.
It was precisely by relying on this opportunity that Bruno's confidant Mike successfully infiltrated the Church of Light and provided a lot of extremely important top-secret information to the Principality of Idar.
According to the words at the time, the reason why this giant statue was built was for the coming of God three years later...
etc!
Bruno seemed to suddenly remember something, and his whole face suddenly became extremely solemn.
He vaguely remembers...
When people were recruited to build the statue of the god... the church, or Mike, seemed to have mentioned... that the reason why the statue of the god was built was for the divine descending ceremony that would be held three years later.
At that time, Bruno, who had just traveled to this world, was still an outstanding young man of the new era who insisted on atheism, so he just laughed at such remarks.
But,
As we understand the world more deeply,
Bruno has fully accepted the fact that gods exist, or that gods once existed.
so,
Looking back now...
If we start counting from the day when the Idars arrived in the holy city of Bethlehem, three years later... wouldn't that be next year?!
next year!
No wonder the Church of Light has not forgotten to build the tattered statue located in the holy city of Bethlehem even though it has intervened in the situation on the mainland!
Bruno really didn't know what the purpose of that statue was.
but……
Adhering to the principle of opposing the Light Church if it supports him, Bruno has made his own decision in an instant:
"Krel obeys!"
"exist!"
"Draft a special operations plan with the goal of destroying the statue of God in the holy city of Bethlehem!"
