When people first heard the news, they almost thought that the God of Contract was crazy.
The gap between Ra and Tyr is as huge as a warrior who is good at fighting and a general who is victorious. Not to mention that Bansa is Tyr's home field, and Sivir is a powerful reinforcement behind it. If it is placed in Jupiter
When the Fourth King was on the throne, before this news spread, Ra's army would have been directly crippled by the Templar Knights of Tire.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this timing was indeed carefully considered.
First of all, a considerable number of Tire's Templars were sent out and are still trapped in Fararu without returning. After receiving this news, several regiment leaders were worried about the safety of their colleagues and led their legions to rush out.
Because Jupiter IV is missing and Sylla, who is in charge of the Ring of Killing, is imprisoned, it can be said that no one can control these knights. Even the other cardinals can at most ask the captains to be a little more polite.
No right to order them.
Today, Bantha and Tire's strength is in an unprecedented state of emptiness.
However, the new pope of Tire was sidelined due to the ring ceremony and was unable to lead the cardinals to make any preparations for this.
In the eyes of some people, it is useless even if there is no ring ceremony. The new pope's prestige is definitely not as good as that of the predecessor Jupiter IV. In Roland, the entire group of cardinals was slowly replaced by blood, and their own people were replaced.
Only after those dishonest guys can say that they truly enjoy the rights that the Pope deserves.
The power of the Holy See is perfectly divided by the College of Cardinals, and the Pope is also a mortal. He cannot personally handle everything, otherwise sooner or later he will have to return to God in advance.
In the Farnes world, the power of the pope is realized through the constraints on cardinals.
After all, the Pope has the great weapon of ecclesiastical power. He can make any bishop lose all charism immediately - but the problem is that what he wants is rule and unity. Not destruction and power.
Overly tough rule will inevitably make believers dissatisfied. They will also begin to doubt God. Therefore, in any Holy See, the Pope cannot use his own prerogatives to enforce the implementation of every decree.
As a pope, the most important thing is to have charisma. A pope who cannot be worshiped by believers is unqualified. When his name is mentioned, people should immediately realize that it is his personality.
It's just taboo.
The Holy See without the Pope is like a lamb without its shepherd, completely losing its direction and discipline.
As long as any cardinal in the College of Cardinals deliberately causes trouble, nothing can be accomplished. Without the management and decision-making of the Pope, what kind of trouble can be caused by a dozen guys with equal rights and different fields once they quarrel?
It feels scary just thinking about it.
There are still six days left for the ring ceremony to end. During these six days, the cardinals will not even be able to leave the dome, and their entourage will not be able to gain the right to enter the dome.
This is the best time.
In other words, for a whole week, the Tire sect was completely without command and in chaos. If the mercenaries of the God of Contract used it cleverly, it was still possible to occupy all the cities outside the Holy City in one week.
.If they can occupy all parts except the dome cathedral, even if the pope is finally elected, it will be of no use.
It doesn't matter whether you kill believers, force them to convert, or even force them not to pray. A god without believers is fragile. With the support of only a dozen bishops, even the Pope directly allowed the god to descend on him
It doesn't have much effect on the body either.
But if it were just like that, people wouldn't be very optimistic about the God of Contract. After all, where is Tyr's background, and with the assistance of Sivir, who is famous for fighting, is it just to survive five or six days?
No problem.
But at this time, two things shocked people - the Mad Dog Queen of Bantha announced to revoke the special status of the two sects of Tire and Sivir in the country. Instead, she established the Lord of Violence, Elsax, as the state religion and canceled it.
Priests of all ranks are exempt from military service.
In other words, the Bantha official has the right to forcibly conscript priests of any rank - even the pope - in theory. If they disagree, it will undoubtedly be treason and will be directly punished with death.
This is completely blasphemous.
But what makes people even more confused is that Sivir remained neutral in this incident. He acquiesced in the entry into force of this law and did not assist Tire in resisting Ra's attack.
Yes, that's right - she maintained her neutrality!
You know, Tyr is her biological father!
But people who know more understand why she refused to rescue Tyre.
It can only be said that the issues that were hidden in the previous canonization incident have been exposed again.
It is true that Jupiter IV was extremely prestigious, but he was only a mortal after all.
A mere mortal dares to threaten a god.
Since then, Sivir has probably been aware that Tyr's threat has now grown too large to ignore.
Now is probably the last chance. If we don't fight back now, I'm afraid Sivir will completely become a subordinate of Tyr.
Moreover, in fact, even if Queen Bantha canceled Sivir's status as a state religion, the final impact would not be very great.
Sivir's Defender itself belongs to the battlefield profession. Her power is combat and war. In Bantha, a country that is very fanatical about war, her status will never decline too much.
Take a look - the God of Contract with mercenaries, the Lord of Violence with humanoid city-breaking machines, and the Goddess of War who is naturally suited to the battlefield environment. Each of them is more suitable for this increasingly manic country than Tire.
The apologists of Sivir did not have any conflict with the believers of the God of Contract. When the mercenaries gathered to persecute the priests of Tire, they remained silent from top to bottom; the priests of Tire told them
When asking for help, they remained silent.
Finally, Tire's followers were completely in despair.
Overnight, their status plummeted to the bottom.
The Bantha military sent people to hunt them down, smashed their temples, took away the gold ornaments in the temples, pushed their believers to the ground, and took away their money and jewelry. Priests and priests were followed.
The mercenaries among them were pulled out from the crowd and smashed their heads.
On the first day alone, a quarter of the church in Bansa fell. The fallen church was divided in half by the Lord of Violence and the God of Contract, and was personally guarded by the military.
When the pope began to rush to flatter the royal power, his authority was gone.
However, at this time, a group of people in the east of Bansa silently crossed the border and were warmly received by the cities near the border.
"Excuse me, are you suing crow?"
A little boy raised his face and looked at Kakarit expectantly.
