Remedios was furious when he heard Gustavo comparing Princess Elizabeth to the Holy Princess.
"What bullshit, Saint of Elandir! How much heart and effort has the Holy Queen put into the happiness of the people? Do the people know? How can they do this? They are the people of the Holy Kingdom!"
"Please wait a moment, Captain." Seeing Remedios preparing to run away, Gustavo quickly dissuaded him.
"How can you wait! Gustavo, what the hell are you talking about? No... do you really think so?"
Gustavo's dissuasion was already too late, and Remedios, furious, punched the table.
The person who stepped into the hero's realm gave an angry blow and directly smashed the table into pieces.
The surrounding paladins were frightened into silence by Remedios's anger.
Only Gustavo, who had followed Remedios for many years, dared to continue to dissuade him:
"Captain, please calm down. Of course we know how compassionate the Holy Queen is and how great she is. The Saint of Elandir cannot be compared with the great Holy Queen, but... because we are staying in
I am with the Holy Queen, so I know the greatness of the Holy Queen!"
"Are you an idiot? Even if the people have never met the Holy Queen, it is impossible for the people to respect the Holy Lady of Elandir more than the Holy Queen. You are thinking too much." After all, the Holy Queen is the king of the Holy Kingdom.
,How could the people not respect their king? Remedios retorted unconvinced.
"Captain, the person who saved the people was the Saint of Elandir, not our Holy Queen. This is something that even our Holy Knights have failed to do." Gustavo said bitterly.
What Gustavo said was true, and even Remedios couldn't refute it now.
The indignant Remedios looked at the paladin captains and asked: "What do you think?"
Upon hearing Remedios' question, the paladins in the room looked at each other. After a while, a paladin squad leader coughed dryly and said:
"Of course we Paladins do not think that Saint Elandir is the savior, but we also know that there are such views and atmosphere among the common people."
Another paladin said:
"Most people know that Princess Elizabeth captured the city alone. Those who have never seen Princess Elizabeth take action, the rumors are even more outrageous. They have already described Princess Elizabeth as miraculous, which seems to further aggravate Yelanti's
The deification of your holy daughter.”
The paladin standing at the end continued:
"It is true that Princess Elizabeth and the Sorcerer King came to provide help to a country that is neither an ally nor a friendly country. With such behavior, Princess Elizabeth deserves to be called a saint, right?"
The only one who couldn't accept it seemed to be Remedios. Some paladins turned to Princess Elizabeth. After all, Princess Elizabeth was worthy of the title of Saint.
Remedios' face was gloomy. She had never expected that Princess Elizabeth would become so famous now.
Indeed, if Princess Elizabeth is not allowed to participate in the battle, the people will panic and the morale of the soldiers will be greatly reduced. It will cause big fluctuations at such a critical moment, so there is no need to fight this battle, and it will undoubtedly be lost.
"Wouldn't it be better to portray the Sorcerer King and Elizabeth as villains and kill two birds with one stone? How about telling the people that Princess Elizabeth will no longer help us?" Remedios said innocently.
"Lying is not a good idea." Gustavo scratched his hair, and a bunch of hair was pulled out.
"Now the people are like frightened birds. Because the Sorcerer King and Princess Elizabeth are here, they have hope. If we deliberately discredit Princess Elizabeth and the Sorcerer King, they will fall into despair, at least now is not the time." Gu.
Stavo continued to hold his hair and said.
"Damn it! Then let's make good use of the father and daughter first, and then wait until the demihuman coalition is defeated!" Remedios said helplessly.
"It will be too late by then. The people will trust Princess Elizabeth even more and turn to the Sorcerous Kingdom's side. It's really troubling. Princess Elizabeth has shown too much power. We can only take back the city on our own.
, I don’t think such a thing will happen. The worst case scenario is that the country may be divided. If the Demon King announces that he will turn this land into an enclave for his daughter, who can stop it?
OK?"
An enclave is a special human geography phenomenon, which is land directly under the jurisdiction of a certain administrative region but not connected to the region.
In layman's terms, if a certain administrative subject owns an enclave, he cannot reach the place through his own administrative area and can only reach his own enclave by flying there.
"This country belongs to the Holy Queen and the people living in this country! It is definitely not Elizabeth's! And after all, do you think the surrounding countries will recognize it?" Remedios said with a sneer.
"I will approve it! According to my investigation, Elizabeth herself has a good relationship with the Dragon Kingdom, the Empire, the Slian Theocracy, and even the Council of Countries. Although it is not clear how Princess Elizabeth got related to these countries, these countries
It is obvious that she will help Princess Elizabeth but will not help us. If the people here also expect this, Princess Elizabeth will have a reputation of righteousness."
"Compared with the senior leaders of the Holy Kingdom who cannot protect their own country, it is better to choose the Saint of Elandir, right? Deputy leader?" asked the Holy Knight squad leader sitting at the end.
In response to the paladin's question, Gustavo nodded helplessly, "That's it!"
"Gustavo, was it wrong for me to bring the Sorcerer King and Princess Elizabeth back?" Remedios asked blankly.
"There is no such thing, Captain. At that time, this was the best choice. It's just that we relied too much on the power of the Sorcerer King and Princess Elizabeth. This is also true. As I said just now, if both shelters only rely on
If our power is liberated, such a result will not happen, and the people will not care about the Saint of Erantil now!"
Seeing that Remedios was at a loss, Gustavo quickly comforted him.
"What should I do?" Remedios hated himself for not being as smart as his sister.
"In short, we should try our best to deal with the people first, buy time, and then rely on our own strength to repel the demihuman coalition. If we don't do this, the war may continue even if Jaldabaoth is defeated in the future.
!" Gustavo said thoughtfully.
Remedios gritted his teeth and looked at the strategic map on the table, and said doubtfully: "Then let's do this for now! Damn Elizabeth, and the title of Holy Lady of Elandir, could it be that she is the one with all of this?
Have you calculated it in advance?"
"I don't know... I really don't know, but it's very likely that this is the case. From the first day I saw her, I felt like I was being calculated and controlled by her." Gustavo said with a shudder.
Hearing what Gustavo said, Remedios and the surrounding paladins shivered.
