Because many people did not really want to integrate into the Evernight Army from the beginning.
Even though the Yongye Army has developed rapidly over the years, it has achieved world-renowned achievements.
But many people still choose to cover their eyes and ears, turning a blind eye to the changes outside and turning a deaf ear to the sounds outside.
Still immersed in the idea that the Byron Alliance is the center and master of the entire Ashan continent, and the Lancelot royal family is the most elite.
This kind of thinking was most prevalent in the plains of Asia Minor under the rule of the royal family of Lancelot.
This kind of inertial thinking is so deep-rooted.
Even when the Lancelot royal family had been torn apart and dominated by the Holy Ether Church, it could not be reversed, and many people failed to truly see the facts.
Among the veterans who followed Sophia Liya, many people regarded the Eternal Night Army Leader as a seesaw, a strategic retreat base, where they could cultivate their health, accumulate strength, and wait to one day peek at the entire Lancelot again.
The royal family, and even the entire Byron League.
This idea revived after Sophilia took up the important task of reviving the Broken Vein Defense Line.
They gathered around Sophia Liya again, giving her advice and fighting for her.
The sudden death of King Laurie made this idea boil and sublimate.
There was no need for Sophia Liya to give any hint, and many people started running around and getting busy spontaneously.
It's just that they have been away from the political center of the Byron Alliance for too long, and their response speed is simply not as fast as that of the Holy Ether Church who have always been at the center of power.
When they just reacted.
In order to stabilize itself, the New Royal Court has made a series of actions.
King Laurie's wife, Queen Enid, announced that she was five months pregnant and that she was giving birth to the real first heir to the Lancelot royal family. Before the child was successfully born, she would shoulder the responsibility of ruling.
Lancelot's royal responsibilities.
And appointed King Lowry's uncle, Archduke Barker, as regent to manage it on his behalf.
Then St. George, the Pope of the Holy Ether See, went to the royal capital of Valesta in person and gave an unprecedented blessing. Not only did he publicly recognize Queen Enid's legal right to rule the Lancelot royal family, he also promised the Holy See of Saint Ethereum
In support of her, he also blessed the child in Queen Enid's belly, calling him the child of destiny, who would be born with the sacred mission of saving the future of mankind.
According to the memories of many believers who participated in this blessing event, when Saint George blessed the child in Queen Enid's belly, there were many visions.
They witnessed the arrival of heaven with their own eyes. Countless angels sang and danced around Queen Enid, and sweet sacred music echoed in the ears of all the citizens.
Channels of holy light were injected into the child in Queen Enid's belly at the same time.
From that moment on, countless citizens firmly believed that the child in Queen Enid's belly was not only their future king, but was also born in accordance with the will of the true God and came to escape their suffering.
Countless people have been transformed into devout believers of the Holy Ether Church.
Although the three core strengths that make up the new royal court have expressed their opinions one after another.
However, many lords of the Lancelot royal family still questioned this matter, especially the appointment of Archduke Buck as regent, which met with fierce backlash.
In the past thirty years, although the Lancelot royal family has been in power for four-fifths of the time, the regent has been in charge.
However, the two regents were both from the Lancelot royal family, and they had a close blood connection. Even if they had selfish motives, they were just forming cliques for personal gain and restraining power.
Even if the worst outcome occurs, after replacing it.
For many people, it is not unacceptable.
After all, the bloodline has not flowed aside, and the bloodline of the Lancelot royal family is still being passed down.
The Duke of Buck is different. He is the Grand Duke of the Kingsley family. The two powers combined into one are terrifying. Who knows if he will use the interests of the Lancelot royal family to enrich himself?
The Kingsley family?
Under this circumstance, there was a call within the Lancelot royal family to invite Princess Sophia, the former regent of the Lancelot royal family, to serve as regent again.
Princess Sophia's credibility during her governance and her clean and tidy letting go of King Laurie after he came of age are obvious to all.
Especially the latter has won her the respect of countless people.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to retreat from the rapids, at least many people who have tasted the taste of power cannot do it.
But as soon as this call started, it was blown away by a bombshell dropped by the New Royal Court.
The Lancelot royal family announced the cause of King Laurie's sudden death. He fell from a high altitude while riding a griffon and died alive.
As for whether it was a careless mistake? Or was it attacked at high altitude and fell?
This new royal court has not been announced to the outside world.
But this is enough, enough to arouse the imagination of countless people.
Where did King Lowry's griffon come from?
Eternal Night Army Leader.
Who has absolute air supremacy now?
Eternal Night Army Leader.
Who can pose a threat to the gryphon in the sky?
Eternal Night Army Leader.
If King Lowry dies suddenly, who will benefit the most?
Eternal Night Army Leader.
To be more precise, Sophia Liya has taken control of the leadership of the Eternal Night Army.
Under this situation, even Sean, who had fallen into a long coma, was picked out and used against Sophia Liya.
Many supporters of the conspiracy theory connected the two incidents and pointed the finger at Sophilia, believing that in order to gain power, she frantically killed her close relatives.
Under the promotion of new people, Sophilia became synonymous with cruel and vicious women in the entire Ashan continent.
Black Widow.
Poisonous spider.
Widow Maker.
A series of stigmas were all hung on her head.
Because it was through the fusion of souls, Sean was able to feel more personally how difficult Sophia Liya's situation was at that time, and how depressed her heart was.
The husband fell into a long coma and his life or death was uncertain.
The Yongye Army faces external pressure from powerful enemies, and the legitimacy of her rule is questioned internally.
Not only did his dear brother who he raised by himself die suddenly, but he was also slandered as the mastermind behind the scenes. The real murderer went free and even benefited from it.
There is still a fresh little life pregnant in her belly.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would have been crushed by the heavy pressure.
But Sophia Liya won't, she will only become more frustrated and courageous, and the pressure will only give her greater motivation to resist.
Don't forget who she is.
She was raised by Archduke Cedric, the God of War of Strachey, and her body is filled with the blood of the Strachey family that never admits defeat.
She was an iron-blooded princess who defeated the former regent of the Lancelot royal family at the age of fifteen, cut blood and flesh from the Holy See of Saint Ether, and held the military and political power of the Lancelot royal family for sixteen years.
Anyone who has an in-depth understanding of Princess Sophia knows this.
The death of King Lowry has lifted the last shackles from this lioness.
After she no longer had any worries about her brother and sister turning against each other, Sophia's first decision was to strengthen and improve the fog isolation zone temporarily established by Sean in order to annex the Sea Ridong Department of the Theodin Empire and extend it.
Go to the Jacob River and cut most of the core area of the Byron Alliance into two.
And relying on this isolation zone, fortress cities were built for defense and garrison.
The results of this are obvious.
The entire Man Yu army, as well as the Duanmai grassland east of Duanmai Blood Castle, will be under her control.
The remaining strength of Archduke Patram was all exiled and expelled.
Having said that, Grand Duke Patram's rule under the leadership of Manyu Army for the past ten years has long exhausted the last trace of vitality in this land. The best part has been concentrated on Anji Beina, and there is not much left at all.
strength.
The Byron Alliance was completely torn in half.
The Eternal Night Army under the rule of Sophilia occupies one-third of the territory of the Broken Vein Grassland, a quarter of the territory of the Asia Minor Plain, the entire Manyu Army, the entire Andis Mountains, and the entire Donau Plain.
and the entire Kentana Icefield.
The new royal court led by the Holy Ether Church occupies two-thirds of the territory of the Broken Vein Grassland, the entire territory of the Twin South Islands, three-quarters of the territory of the Asia Minor Plain, the entire territory of the Carthusian Army and the entire territory of the Flower Language Plateau.
This situation led to a sharp deterioration in the relationship between the two parties.
The degree of conflict is even more acute than that between the New Royal Court, the Theodin Empire and the Conclave of Witches.
The main force of the Holy See's new army, which had just achieved a glorious victory, began to move towards the border with the Yongye Army.
The army that Sophia Liya had gathered to fight against the Hai Ridong tribe did not disband on the spot. Instead, they continuously transported equipment from the Yongye Army to further change their weapons and use the remnants of the Broken Blood Cavalry and Steel
With the Rose Knights as the core, they were reorganized into the seventh, eighth, and ninth armies of the Evernight Army.
Guard the eastern front of the Broken Vein Defense Line and the Mist Defense Line.
So far, although no large-scale war has broken out between the two sides, small-scale frictions and conflicts have never stopped, especially along the Jacob River.
Control of the Jacob's River waters is the focus of contention between the two sides.
After all, the two core royal capitals of the New Royal Court, Valesta and St. Eden, are both located on the lower reaches of the Jacob River.
Once the warships led by the Yongye Army go down the river, they will pose a direct threat to both.
Let alone trade, even if a sampan floats down from the upper reaches, the New Royal Court will be highly nervous.
It can be said that the Yongye Army Leader's trade in the Byron Alliance has suffered a devastating blow. The only semi-secret trade with the Huayu Plateau has also been greatly restricted. At least for sensitive materials such as food, there is no way
Bulk trade.
This is also the reason why Sean previously saw the ship production line on the Donau River and the prosperous maritime trade in the East China Sea.
The severe business and trade situation in the Ashan Continent has caused the huge team of merchants that the Yongye Army has spent nearly two decades to build up, facing the crisis of unemployment.
They have already tasted the benefits of predatory foreign trade, and there is no way they can go back to the petty fights of the past.
The discovery of the East African Islands allowed them to discover new business opportunities, and it was inevitable to shift their attention to this.
As for not having enough experience in merchant ships and maritime trade.
For a group with deep pockets, this is nothing to worry about.
Even if there is no policy, they will force it for the benefit of the future, not to mention that for future development, the Yongye Army Leader will inevitably introduce support policies in this area and build its own assembly line shipyard to solve more and more problems in the future.
The problem of using ships.
If there is a slight policy inclination in the territory, a large amount of liquidity will be injected, and an unimaginable shipbuilding assembly line will be built in just a few years.
Compared with conventional war, what is more intense is the public opinion war between the two sides.
Under Sean's guidance and influence, the Yongye Army leader has always attached great importance to this aspect.
The Holy Ether Church, an important part of the New Royal Court, also started from this - faith can also be regarded as a part of public opinion, and both parties are controlling the thoughts of ordinary people.
The New Royal Court continued to demonize Sophilia, denigrating her as a traitor, and led the barbarians of Andis in an attempt to steal the rule of the Byron Alliance.
The most important crime was, of course, colluding with the leader of the Yongye Army to plot the murder of King Laurie ten years ago.
The leader of the Eternal Night Army denounced the Holy Ether Church for using its faith to fool the world, trying to replace the royal power with divine power, and steal the Lancelot royal family's supreme rule over the Byron Alliance.
And they questioned the story of King Laurie they announced. They were trying to divert the public's attention and cover up the shocking conspiracy behind it.
Anyway, everyone has his own rhetoric.
Sophilia herself firmly believed that the death of her brother King Laurie was not an accident, but was planned by St. George and Queen Enid of the Holy Ether Church.
According to their secret investigation, there have been great differences between King Laurie and Pope St. George regarding the war with the Theodian Empire and the Conclave of Witches.
The biggest disagreement is over military power.
King Laurie believed that the Saint Ether Holy See's penetration of military power was too serious and that concessions had to be made. This kind of matter could not be completely left to the divine power. It was more appropriate for him, as the king, to control it.
How could the Holy See of Saint Ether, which had already tasted the delicious taste of power, let it go?
A few months before King Lowry's incident, the two sides had just had a fierce dispute over this matter. It was said that King Lowry was preparing to draft a restrictive bill in response to this matter to limit the unbridled expansion of the Saint Ether Church.
King Laurie had been beneficial to the development of the Saint Ether Church in the past, and the Saint Ether Church naturally recognized and supported him from top to bottom.
Now that this puppet has awakened its self-awareness and has become a stumbling block for their further development, it is natural that it will be kicked away without hesitation.
Especially when Queen Enid was already confirmed to be pregnant, this decision was not difficult to make.
After all, what the Holy See needs is a well-known and upright reason.
Compared to a puppet like King Laurie that has begun to get out of control, an unborn fetus is undoubtedly a better choice.
As soon as King Lowry died, the so-called bill he proposed naturally disappeared.
What's even more wonderful is that this baby will be shrouded in the holy light of the Holy See from the moment it is born, and it will inevitably become an extremely devout believer.
According to the current development trend of the Holy Ether Church, when this baby truly reaches adulthood, whether the Lancelot royal family will still be there or not is still a question.
