In order to prevent their souls from becoming such undead monsters after their death, many people in the territory naturally seek refuge in the name of the God of Truth.
Even if they don’t believe in souls going to the Kingdom of God, they still covet the power of the Holy Power to restrain evil beings like the undead.
It is said that even some herders in the Theodin Empire have abandoned their belief in the God of Odin and have turned to the embrace of the God of Truth.
The reason is very practical. Facing the surging army of revenge for the dead in the Eastern Odin Empire, the God of Odin did not provide them with any protection or help. Instead, it was the messengers of the God of Truth who could bring them holy power. This was killing them.
Those monsters' proven methods.
After reaching the peak of his momentum, King Lowry was baptized by Pope St. George in St. Eden, officially converted to the Holy See of St. Ethereum, and became a devout believer. He enjoys the status of the Son of God, and his status is higher than that of a cardinal.
Only under the Pope.
Then King Laurie returned to the royal capital of Valesta without stopping, and established the Holy See of Saint Ether as the state religion. Every king who succeeds after the Lancelot royal family must be baptized and canonized by the pope.
At the end of the same year, he married Enid, a saint of the Holy See, as his queen.
This series of actions was like a super powder keg, exploding directly in the chest of the royal family of Lancelot.
Even the most staunch royalists have doubts about this matter.
Some relatively conservative lords and nobles even resigned from their official positions on the spot and returned to their territories.
Princess Sophia, who was waiting for childbirth in the northern fortress, said three good words in a row with an angry face, and then ate three bowls of noodles made by Sean himself, and stopped reviewing anything about Lancelot.
Information about the royal family.
To be more precise, she no longer cares about any government affairs, and she no longer even abides by the one-collar, two-system agreement she had agreed with Sean. All matters related to the princess fief were handed over to Sean, and An Xin became her own full-time wife.
Preparing for the upcoming newborn.
Anyone who knows Sophia Liya a little bit knows that this is a sign of her extreme anger.
If she didn't do this, she wouldn't be able to suppress her anger at all, and would directly lead her army back to the royal capital, and fight in front of King Laurie, wanting to ask him what exactly he wanted to do?
In the past two years, she had not been with him. How much water had gone into her mind to make such a stupid and absurd decision?
What is the difference between this and surrendering the royal family of Lancelot to the Holy See?
From now on, every king of the Lancelot royal family will have to be canonized by an outsider.
But her final rationality told her that doing so would not change anything, because she could not change a person's subjective consciousness.
Isn't the contract she signed with Pope St. George a clear proof?
Even if I repeat it again, it will only delay the arrival of this day.
Is it possible that she really deposed King Laurie and established herself as king?
If she really wanted to do this, why would she have to wait until today? Ten years ago, when she was the most powerful, she could have done this.
If he really did this, what would be the difference between him and King Laurie who acted recklessly?
It will also drag the royal family into the quagmire of war. All the opposition forces that were originally targeting King Laurie will turn against themselves, which is a completely thankless thing.
Not to mention that my physical condition does not allow it.
After three years of gestation, the biological flesh and blood that I had high hopes for was about to come into this world. At this critical moment, the fetal movement caused the baby to have a slight mishap, and I regretted it for the rest of my life.
Since Sophia used this method to express that she would no longer participate in any disputes with the Lancelot royal family, it was naturally impossible for Sean to sharpen his head and dive into the muddy water.
This kind of thing that is completely unclear and unprofitable should of course be avoided as far away as possible.
Anyway, it is based on a principle.
The daily etiquette and interactions should not be lacking at all, but Sean himself is determined not to appear in the royal capital of Valesta.
As long as he doesn't move the cake on his plate, the leader of the Evernight Army is absolutely neutral.
Regardless of whether King Laurie or Pope St. George, both public and private, they will not touch the leader of the Evernight Army in a short period of time, and they are also afraid of bringing Princess Sophia back.
They launched the attack at this time because Princess Sophia was about to give birth and it would be inconvenient for her to show up.
Although King Laurie's actions brought chaos to the Lancelot royal family, their subsequent series of actions proved that this was not just a mindless act, but a series of combination punches.
Not long after King Lowry converted to the Holy See, he held a secret meeting with Grand Duke Patram, the leader of the Manyu army. Patram then swore allegiance to King Lowry and became Prince Lowry's intelligence minister.
The shock caused by this news was no less than that of King Laurie's conversion.
The Byron Alliance seems to be one, but in fact, the division of the eight princely families has been passed down for three hundred years.
This model has become deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Now it was completely broken by two young people.
But everyone knows that the real initiator is the Holy See of St. Ether and Pope St. George.
Both King Laurie and Grand Duke Patram are his godsons.
The Archduke of Patram was just the beginning. In the same year, Archduke Buck, leader of the Carter Army, also swore allegiance to King Lowry and became the royal prime minister.
The following year, Grand Duke Christine of the Bryan family in Huayu Plateau also swore allegiance to King Laurie and became the finance minister.
In just two years, the structure of the Byron Alliance has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the four major ducal families have completely united.
If you deeply analyze the reasons behind the alliance, you will find that the Holy Ether Church is only an inducement, and the Eternal Night Army Leader plays a role that cannot be ignored.
The Yongye Army Leader is in line with the needs of Princess Fiefdom. His Excellency, Grand Duke Patram, with his own strength alone, will never be able to capture Angie Beina and restore the Manyu Army Leader to integrity, let alone develop and grow.
If she doesn't want to find a way to get rid of the current situation, one day, with the support of the Yongye Army Commander, Angibena may turn around and annex Patram and become the Grand Duchess of the Manyu Army Commander.
When St. George took the lead, he naturally hit it off with King Laurie, who wanted to expand his influence.
Patram didn't care at all about the century-old inheritance of the Grand Duke's family. If he couldn't even become a Grand Duke, how could he talk about the future?
As for Archduke Buck's old viper, as someone who had fought with the leader of the Eternal Night Army with real swords and guns, he knew better how much potential this emerging force had.
The other party is developing crazily, but your own territory is not making progress, which is a kind of backwardness.
Only by breaking this current situation can the Kingsley family survive the fate of being annexed by others.
Since King Lowry is leading the charge, he is naturally happy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. He will only pay a tax to the royal family when the time comes. The control of the entire military leader still belongs to him, to the Kingsley family.
in hand.
The choice of Grand Duke Christine of the Bryan family is also not difficult to understand. He is Queen Enid's biological father. Over the years, their family has been working hard to expand its influence from the Flower Language Plateau to other areas, but it has always been
There are no good avenues.
This great alliance is undoubtedly a huge opportunity.
As long as the natural danger of the Flower Language Plateau remains, it will be difficult for other families to extend their tentacles to the Flower Language Plateau, but the Bryan family can exert their influence wantonly, why not?
The Bryan family is rich.
The Kingsley family owns mines.
Lancelot's royal family has food.
Manyu's army has brave men and coal.
The Holy See of Ether has faith and devout believers.
When they joined forces, a deformed monster was born.
It is different from the alliance formed by the marriage bond between the Strachey family, Princess Sophia and the Eternal Night Army.
This kind of consciously united monster has been highly aggressive from the moment it was born.
First, the opposition within the Lancelot royal family was suppressed by King Laurie with bloody iron fists, including the royalists who had supported his rise to power. If they were not eliminated, how would they make room for these new allies?
?
The two are no longer on the same level, and it will really kill people.
Then the new alliance set its sights on Angie Beina.
To be more precise, with the support of his new allies, Patram became emboldened and wanted to fake the power of a tiger to truly complete his military leadership.
As I said before, as long as the cake on his plate is not touched, the Eternal Night Army Leader is in an absolutely neutral state.
But they have extended their hands, so naturally they can no longer sit back and ignore it.
Just when they were about to move, the Yongye Army led a military exercise on the Jacob River, and the artillery on the ship fired.
The new alliance immediately ceased operations.
Don't be cowardly, Yongye Army showed its attitude with practical actions.
If they really attack Anji Beina, the Yongye Army Leader will not be as simple as a military exercise.
Maybe one day when they open their eyes, the fleet led by the Eternal Night Army will arrive outside the gates of Valesta.
Warships without artillery and warships equipped with artillery are not at the same level at all. If they are in open water and have sufficient ammunition, dozens of them may appear in a fight.
Since the leader of the Yongye Army could not be provoked, they set their sights on the west - the Twin Peninsulas under the control of the Witch Conclave.
They are the old enemies of the Holy See. If they are uprooted, they will naturally be happy to see what happens.
In order to fight against the North Sea Fleet of the Conclave of Witches, the New Alliance began to quarrel with the Commons family again.
One of them wants something else, and the other wants to be a mother if she has breasts. Naturally, they hit it off immediately.
Many areas of the Byron Alliance that were originally closed to the Commons family have been opened, and some supplies that were reluctant to sell have also been released.
The Commons family was like a deformed monster, greedily absorbing nutrients and began to expand rapidly.
In the Western Sea, the Zambian Inland Sea, and the Jacob River, wherever there is water, their ships can be found.
The strength displayed by the Commons family really surprised many people.
After all, this exiled family has been on the fringes of the Byron Alliance for hundreds of years. Most of the time, it has been regarded as a troll. Many powerful nobles do not look down on them at all. In their hearts, they are just a noble beggar. What else can be left?
How much strength?
As everyone knows, they lost the Miracle Peninsula, but they still have an endless sea for them to develop, a territory that is dozens of times the size of the Ashan continent, and the only competitor is the Witch Conclave.
If the area of the large and small islands they owned in the West Sea of the Endless Sea was added up, the area would be several times that of their hometown Miracle Peninsula.
At the beginning, there was only a Third Fleet on the Donau River, and there were only eighteen medium-sized warships that could enter the inland. The overall strength was evident.
They have as many as seven such fleets.
It can only be said that people in the world are so ignorant that they only believe what they see with their own eyes. Little do they know that that is just the tip of the iceberg, and more things are hidden under the water.
When some parts began to surface, I was naturally stunned.
The pirate nature of the Commons family will not change just because they put on the cloak of the royal family. In essence, they are still leeches, and they will swarm wherever there is flesh and blood.
If the local force is strong enough, they are cunning businessmen who stick to their own laws.
If the local force is insufficient, they will transform into jackals at any time, rush ashore on a full moon and windy night, and plunder.
The new royal court was forced to continue to strengthen local defense forces.
If the army is reorganized, even if they have enough financial, material and manpower, it will be difficult to see results in a short period of time.
Fortunately, they have a ready-made force - the Holy See Knights of the Holy Ether See.
Now that the Holy Ether Church is the state religion, and King Laurie is the Son of the Holy One, these Knights of the Holy See must naturally swear allegiance to it and use them as their own armed forces. It is natural and logical.
In fact, when he suppressed the opponents before, King Laurie had already secretly activated them, just under the guise of the royal family.
Now it has been transformed and officially legalized.
The four military leaders of the Lancelot royal family, the Kingsley family, the Patram family, and the Bryan family are integrated into one. King Laurie can dispatch as many as 300,000 standing troops. If there is a war, this kind of troops will be continuously
Many times more, not to mention the sea hound of the Commons family.
This is the real confidence of the new royal family.
After discovering that the inland was temporarily unprofitable, the Commons family, as the new royal family wished, aimed their aggressive gaze at the Twin Peninsulas controlled by the Witch Conclave, and launched frequent provocations.
The Conclave of Witches is not a good person. They know very well that this time the Holy Ether Church has come to power, they can no longer achieve their desired goals through conspiracy as they did before.
Therefore, they launched a brazen counterattack against the Commons family's provocation, and revealed their trump card - the iron-clad battleship.
These warships, whose main body is made of wood and whose important parts are covered with iron, have collision capabilities that conventional ships do not have.
In a water battle, go on a rampage.
Except for the dragon-wrecked battleship, the Commons family's other battleships simply did not dare to give them a chance to get close.
The most difficult thing about these armored battleships is that not only are their shells as hard as turtles, but they also clearly incorporate the black technology of the Witches' Conclave into them.
Every armored warship has several witches on board.
These armored battleships were transformed by them into water mage towers, which could cast some large-scale spells that far exceeded their own strength.
Or increase the sailing speed of armored battleships in a short period of time.
Or it may form fog on the sea, obscuring the traces of armored battleships.
Or cast large attack spells and perform long-range attacks.
Although the auxiliary duration of these large-scale spells is usually not long, the power of large-scale attack spells is also unsatisfactory.
However, when it breaks out at a critical moment, especially in conjunction with the strong characteristics of the armored battleship itself, it can often achieve the purpose of a desperate counterattack.
There were several local conflicts in a row.
The Commons family lost dozens of warships of various types, but the Witch Conclave had only a few lightly damaged ships.
It was not until the Commons family transferred back the dragon warships of the Sixth and Seventh Fleets that the Witches' Conclave once again entered a defensive posture at sea.
