king.

Chapter 164
Holy Mountain of Light, ever since the news came that the Franks questioned the Pope's legitimacy, the atmosphere in the Holy See has been a little strange.

Pius VII, who was originally benevolent and kind, has become more and more amiable, but this "friendly" demeanor is full of weirdness.

Being able to break out from the crowd of competitors and seize the Pope's position, Pius VII obviously would not be a really good man.

A kind face in normal times did not touch his interests.This time was different, someone dared to openly question his legitimacy.

The change of power in the Holy See also has a bloody side.If we go deep into it, none of the high-level members of the Holy See can escape unscathed.

It seems that they are just questioning the legitimacy of the pope, but in fact, this wave of the Franks has brought in the entire high-level of the Holy See.

The pope is not legal, and the clergy appointed by the pope will naturally have to be redefined.If the window paper is pierced, everyone will die together.

"How did the mainland countries react?"

Pius VII asked exhausted physically and mentally.

Recently, his life has not been easy.The Franks questioned the legitimacy of the pope, and they were not empty-handed.

From the origin of his identity to the process of seizing power, Pius VII's black history has been "picked up" in a large piece.

Even if the high-ranking members of the Holy See with the same interests stand with him, it does not mean that he will not be in trouble.

The internal structure of the Church of Dawn is very complicated. Apart from the vested interest groups in power, there are also many other factions.

The family's rooted inheritance has added a lot of uncertainty to the power struggle of the Holy See.In the process of seizing, Pius VII also offended many people.

Naturally, it is impossible for internal struggles to wipe out the hostile factions, otherwise it would not be internal struggles, but civil wars.

The frustrated people of these power struggles are waiting for opportunities all the time, wanting to make a comeback.

As soon as the pope's black history was exposed, rumors spread all over the holy mountain, and all kinds of gossip were overwhelming.

Pius VII, who was good at infighting, knew very well that the Franks were able to get so much black material about him, it must have been stabbed out by someone inside the Holy See.

But at this juncture, he can't do anything about the inside.Any untimely move will make people politically interpret it as a guilty conscience.

Internal power disputes can also be suppressed.The external reaction is uncontrollable. If there is an anti-pope wave, Pius VII can only step down in despair.

After all, an organization like the church cannot be separated from believers.The current Dawn Vatican is far less powerful than it was back then. Most of the believers have the same will, and the Vatican cannot stand firm.

"The situation is not good. Eighteen countries, including Dante Kingdom, Hesse Kingdom, and South Bank Kingdom, are all interested in the Franks' proposal.

It is very likely that they will attack us at the Terran Alliance meeting held in July.

The Alpha Kingdom, the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Principality of Moxi called on all parties to exercise restraint, but the Alpha Kingdom proposed that all parties form a joint investigation team to investigate the truth of the incident.

Obviously, they are also full of hostility towards us. If they are not busy with the war with the orcs, I am afraid their reaction will be more positive. "

Bishop Sauron said in embarrassment.

Those who have expressed their views are all bad news, and not expressing their views is the greatest support for the Holy See.

In this terrible situation, Bishop Sauron said: It is too difficult to be responsible for handling the relationship between the Holy See and other countries.

A hundred causes will have results.

In order to restore the glory of the Holy See, in the past years, they have offended all those who should be offended and those who should not be offended.

On weekdays, everyone is afraid of the strength and influence of the Holy See, and dare not act rashly, but the situation has changed recently.

First, the Alpha Kingdom publicly slapped the Holy See in the face, accusing them of colluding with a cult and intending to subvert the kingdom's rule.

Now that there is such a wave again, everyone suddenly finds out that the Holy See is just like that.

The sense of fear faded, and the mind to do things came up.It's a bit embarrassing to challenge the Holy See directly, but everyone is still not afraid to wave the flag and shout after the Franks.

Even the Alpha Kingdom, which was violently beaten by the orcs, did not forget to add obstacles to them.

Can an "investigation team" be formed?

A pope who is being investigated by a group, what is the matter.It was obvious that he wanted to pull the face of the Holy See to the ground and rub it.

The most important thing is that the Holy See can't stand the investigation at all. If they don't investigate, they will be accused of these crimes. If they are investigated, they will be the largest cult organization in the mainland.

In order to make money and weaken the power of all countries, in the past hundred years, more than half of the cult incidents on the mainland have been related to the Holy See.

There are many internal disputes among the human race, and there is also the shadow of the Holy See behind them.

The current situation is even more serious. If we dig deeper, there may be another charge of colluding with orcs and betraying the interests of the human race.

With so many crimes added together, not to mention that the Pope is going to die, the entire Holy See will have to follow suit.

Even if the Lord of Dawn comes in person, he probably has to think about whether it is worthwhile to offend all the believers in order to keep this bunch of rubbish.

"Ulise, do you have any clues for the Blood Moon Horn?"

Pius VII asked concerned.

He had enough troubles already, if the "Blood Moon Horn" also exploded, Pius VII really doubted whether his family could withstand the pressure.

He had already lost confidence in the Judgment Knights, and those guys whose minds were full of fighting and killing would only make things worse.

Now we can only place our hopes on the "sacred hand" with more flexible means and more subtle ways of doing things.

"Your Majesty, we have tracked down the mountain lord. According to the information collected by the intelligence personnel, the mountain lord is likely to be a necromancer pretending to be.

Its strength is the lowest and it is a magister, and there is an adult earth bear beside him, and with tens of thousands of troops gathered in the mountain territory, it is almost impossible to succeed by force.

Our people are communicating with him to see if he can be redeemed and bought back. So far, the contact has been smooth.

It's just that this person's asking price is too high, our budget is limited, and we can't squeeze out enough funds for a while, you see..."

In order to increase the budget, Ulse did not blush when he lied.

However, compared to the previous performance of the Judgment Knights, the Holy Hand has pushed the matter to this point so quickly, and no one has the time to care about it so much.

"Very good! Don't worry about the budget. What you have to do now is to get the Blood Moon Horn back to me at all costs. The Holy Library will bear all the expenses.

The mountain lord in question also tried to win him over as much as possible.Burying this nail is also a good thing in the Alpha Kingdom.

It is just a necromancer, how can he escape the detection of the nobles in the Alpha Kingdom, this issue must also be clarified. "

Pius VII said with satisfaction.

The big price depends on who it is for.The Holy See is poor, but compared to the heyday of the year, it is still much richer than a "necromancer".

What's more, transactions between strong people rarely use gold coins directly.

Either use precious magic materials, or exchange cultivation resources, even trading some knowledge is better than gold coins.

In the warehouse of the Holy See, there are many treasures and training materials used by necromancers.At this juncture, Pius VII didn't mind trading it at all.

Of course, what satisfies him most is that his own intelligence organization has the handle on the other party's identity, and now he dare not use it because it involves the "Blood Moon Horn", and they cannot afford the consequences of exposure.

The future is not certain.If you are willing to cooperate, you are good friends. If you are not willing to cooperate, find an appropriate time to reveal the identity of the other party, which can also be considered.

If the secret can be submerged and replaced without being mastered by the method discovered by the nobles, the value that can be obtained will be even greater.

All of this is based on the confirmation of Ulise's words.If you know that all this is all guesswork, it will be another scene.

Maybe because he felt that things were going too smoothly and he was a little worried, Pius VII added:

"Be careful when trading. The person who released the news has not been found out. Maybe there will be twists and turns in the follow-up."

……

On the northern battlefield, the five royal families of the orcs gathered together.Except for the Beamon family who is crown prince Alex, the other families are all visited by the emperor.

"kill!"

"kill!"

……

The shouts of killing that filled Yunxiao did not affect the progress of the meeting, as if the battle outside did not exist.

Perhaps due to the chilling atmosphere on the battlefield, the atmosphere inside the tent was also slightly tense, and the faces of the several emperors were not very good-looking.

"The giants, dwarves, and elves who promised to start a war with us...never launched an attack on the human race as promised.

If these races do not participate in the war, with our strength alone, it is almost impossible to shake the dominance of the human race! "

The Eagle Emperor said in a cold tone.

From the very beginning, he was not optimistic about the operation.

It sounds wonderful to unite all the races in the mainland to overthrow the supremacy of the human race, but it is another matter to execute it.

Even if everyone made an agreement in advance, allies who had their own thoughts at the critical moment fell off the chain one by one.

It is all interests that cause trouble, and jointly overthrowing the human race is a high-risk action, but whether the interests can match the benefits remains to be verified.

After all, there is only one overlord of the mainland, and not every race has the strength to replace the human race.

For most races, preservation of strength is the most important thing compared to the unrealistic struggle for hegemony on the mainland.

The orcs want to make trouble, and everyone has 1 support in their hearts, but it is another matter for everyone to go to the battlefield with weapons.

In response to the actions of the orcs, the various races have not been idle, and have created a lot of friction with the human race a few days ago.

It's a pity that friction is just friction. If we want to start a race war, we still have to think twice.

This kind of thing can't be blamed on others. During the last continental war, the orcs betrayed all the tribes for their own benefit.

Feng Shui took turns, and it was my turn to be fooled by this wave, so naturally everyone couldn't stand it.

The main reason is that the elves also participated. The pure elves actually learned to deceive people, which is beyond the imagination of the orcs.

If he had personally participated in the negotiations, the Eagle Emperor would have found that the representatives of the elves had never made a clear promise.

It's just that the representatives participating in the alliance are members of the main combat faction. In order to facilitate this war, the news sent back has been slightly artistically processed.

The Lion King on the side was very embarrassed. This war was promoted by him alone, and even the alliance of various ethnic groups was also his hand.

It's a pity that there are too many smart people of all races, and they all want to wait for the allies to consume the strength of the human race first, and then jump out to take advantage of it.

So much so that except for the orcs who really came, the other races stopped at the moment of the door.

"Eagle Emperor, it's useless to talk about this now. All ethnic groups do not keep their promises, and sooner or later they will pay the price for it.

The war has already started, and the three kingdoms of the human race have launched a full-scale mobilization. It is no longer something we can stop if we want to.

The more times like this, the tougher we have to be.Any weak behavior will intensify the human race, which will cause unpredictable disasters! "

The Lion Emperor said righteously.

As long as you have a thick skin, everything is fine.Wars have been fought, and no one will believe me if there is a misunderstanding at this time.

The orc army attacked strongly, and the human nations who wanted to preserve their strength chose to wait and see temporarily.Once they show signs of decadence, there will be absolutely no shortage of participants when they beat the dog in the water.

The Terran Alliance is not just a display. If there is a real chance to destroy the orcs, everyone will not show mercy.

On the issue of dealing with alien races, the overall position of the top leaders of the human race is actually the same.No one wants these guys to revive one day and overturn their own foundation.

"Eagle Emperor calm down, we need unity even more at this time.

The choice of all ethnic groups in the mainland to wait and see is also temporary.

As long as we have made a major breakthrough on the battlefield, they will still be tempted to fight.

Let's put aside the previous matter for the time being, why don't we discuss the next war first.

The battlefield of the Alpha Kingdom has reached a stalemate, these old opponents know us too well, even if we break through their defense line, there are still countless castles waiting for us..."

Alex bit the bullet and smoothed things over.

There are four emperors in a meeting of five people, and he is the only one who is still the crown prince. Thinking about it, I feel aggrieved.

For the four emperors, if this war is won, it will be a blood profit.

Losing can also take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and eliminate unstable factors within the imperial court, with the exception of Alex.

There are some things that the emperor can do, but the crown prince cannot touch.In case of arousing the fear of the old Beamon Emperor, he, the crown prince, will soon do it.

Thinking of these troubles, Alex wondered if his father did it on purpose, trying to use these troubles to kill him in advance.

After all, with Alex's physical condition, he couldn't stand this kind of toss.

……

"Boost!

Fortunately, you are still knights.

With such a reaction speed, are you going to give the orc a head? "

Hudson snapped.

Members of the Koslow family have been unlucky since they realized that the front line was not good.Ushered in the most rigorous military training.

Even Baron Redman is running in the team at this moment.

Military duty is the unshirkable responsibility of every nobleman!

On the battlefield, the orcs don't care what your status is.The more noble the status, the happier people will kill.

In order to increase everyone's survival rate, Hudson decisively chose the training camp.All clansmen who need to go to the battlefield have enjoyed the treatment of devil training.

Simple running, of course, can't trouble these master knights.But under the gravity field of Bear Stearns, it is very different.

Everyone seems to be carrying hundreds of catties on their backs. It is still difficult to walk normally, but it is too embarrassing to run fast.

The protest was invalid. When Hudson arrived at the training ground, it was a denial of relatives.

Uncle Bear Stearns, who is having a good time, doesn't know how to sell favors.

One person and one bear, like devils, forced them to train.

The effect is also leveraged, leaving the scope of the gravity field, their reaction speed has been greatly improved.

However, there is still a long way to go from Hudson's request.

In ordinary times, the aristocratic civilized fights, the strong realm basically wins, but it is different when fighting for life and death on the battlefield.

Any unexpected situation will affect both sides of the war.It is common for the strong to die at the hands of the weak.

There is no chance for everyone to experience the experience of life and death, but you can still work hard to improve your body's reaction speed.

These people are the elites of the Koslow family. If they all died on the battlefield, Hudson would not be able to support a family by himself.

In case the situation of the battle is not going well and the reaction speed is fast, you can follow him to make a strategic transition.

As long as these elites are kept, even if the army in his hand is wiped out, he can pull another team out at any time.

The most typical sign of the decline of the great aristocracy is that the number of people is thin, or that the younger generations are all useless.

Without the direct descendants, the great nobles who rely entirely on outsiders will soon be hollowed out.

In this era of bloodlines, the family is the best bond of interest, far more reliable than various alliances.

Even if these people are not all loyal to Hudson, in terms of loyalty, they are generally higher than outsiders.

After tossing and tossing until everyone was tired and lay down, Hudson stopped to wipe his sweat.

Although nourished by the power of the mysterious compass, his physique is much stronger than ordinary people, but he will still be tired after all.

Bear Stearns' gravity domain is good at everything, the only shortcoming is indiscriminate attack.

Everyone who received the training was uncomfortable, and the instructors who received the same treatment from Hudson were not much better.

"Hudson, this kind of training is too intensive, I'm afraid..."

Before Baron Redman finished speaking, Hudson interrupted:
"Father, don't worry, I, like you, are moving in the field of gravity, and I am very aware of how much your body consumes.

As long as you eat more nutritious items, you can still make up for the body's consumption.You don't have to worry about the expenses, it's actually not much to share with everyone.

On average, only two or three gold coins per day can enhance the survivability on the battlefield. Such a good thing can't be found outside.

What's more, this level of training is also good for everyone's cultivation.I can clearly feel that the speed of life seeds has increased by nearly [-]% recently.

Especially you knights who are stuck in the bottleneck, if you persist for a while, you may break through the current state. "

Hudson flicked to his heart's content.

Whether this kind of training can break through the realm, only the Lord of Dawn knows.

Anyway, what he has to do is to convince these people that the current training can not only enhance his life-saving ability, but also improve his own strength.

If the strength does not improve, it must be because the training has not worked hard.Anyway, with so many people present, Hudson couldn't believe that there weren't many breakthroughs.

As long as there is a role model born, this trick of drawing cakes and training Dafa can continue.

With the perfect answer, Baron Redman swallowed all his words.

For a knight, the temptation to improve his cultivation is too great.

Now it is fooling the knight officers, and it will be extended to the whole army in the future, and it will also fool the soldiers.

The theoretical basis must be perfected.
