I really can't control myself

Two days later, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. However, the first order of Queen Yalan who sat on the throne was not to announce a general amnesty, but to launch a war against the Yetis Empire. The reason is naturally very good. The Yetis Empire assassinated their emperor Wigley, which was a heinous crime. The Holy Empire of Elan will mobilize the power of the country to carry out unlimited counterattacks and revenge.

With this order, the whole country supports it. Everyone supports the new queen's war this time. I have to say that the backlash of public opinion is indeed powerful enough. It directly helped solve all the war mobilization problems here. With the help of the Yetis Empire, the whole country became one. rope and began to prepare for war.

As soon as the enthronement ceremony ended, Yalan here started to get busy immediately, and Linton also had a lot of things to do, but before he could start to deal with it, Pope Saint Reno came directly to the door. Saint Reno is naturally here to crown the new daughter. It is tradition for the pope to put a crown on the emperor. After all, the pope is the agent of the God of Light. Giving you a crown means that your imperial power is given by God. Of course, It also reflects the authority of the church. However, Pope Saint Rino knew very well that after the enthronement ceremony, the first person he looked for was not Yalan, but Linton. In his eyes, Linton was the actual controller of the empire.

Saint Reno came to Linton mainly because of two things. First, it was the incident caused by Prince Marcus, and on the other hand, it was also the issue of the subsequent war. Needless to say more about Marcus, as it involves the Church of Cthulhu, I naturally want to ask Linton, the successor of the Sealed Book, for his views. On the other hand, the situation of this war is also extraordinary, and its impact on the church great.

The difference between this war and previous wars lies in the word unlimited. I said before that saint-level warriors generally do not participate in wars because their lethality is too great, so they can generally be used as a nuclear deterrent. However, this war is obviously unusual. The Yetis Empire assassinated the emperor of the Holy Empire of Elan, so do you think it is over with ceding territory and paying compensation? So what Yalan directly announced was unrestricted war, which probably meant that it would not be finished until your country was destroyed.

In such a war, the Holy Level cannot stay out of it, so it is obvious that the Holy Level will participate in this war. Of course, not all saints will participate. Some saints do not want to participate in the war. Even if they are saints enshrined in this country, what does the ants below have to do with them? Of course, some saints will participate. After all, ordinary people can also rise to the saint level.

How to deal with it specifically? Generally speaking, before the war begins, the Holy Association will issue a notice to recall the Saints from these two countries. If you don't want to participate, just go back to the headquarters of the Holy Association, and no one dares to say anything. The attitude of those who do not come back is also very clear. If they decide to participate in the war, then even if they die, the Holy Association will not say anything. Of course, even if you participate in a holy war, you should not be too reckless, such as directly massacring a city or something. If you kill too many civilians, the holy association will still put you on the danger list and punish you.

The participation of saints in the war will naturally cause the death toll in the war to rise rapidly, and it will most likely evolve into a full-scale war across the entire continent. After all, both countries are large empires within the human race. What if their allies join the war later? There are other forces interfering. And this matter naturally involves the interests of the Church of Light. After all, the two human empires are their believers, and Saint Reno naturally cannot stay out of the matter.

"I already know the situation over there in the North. Anyway, it's not coming towards our country. Since it's heading north, I didn't interfere. His Majesty the Pope won't blame me for this matter," Linton said. .

"Of course, of course, the person who summoned these dark creatures is also the prince of the Yetis Empire. It can be said that he brought it upon himself." Saint Reno said, "But our church cannot sit idly by and watch this matter. Please understand, Lord Sword Master. "

"What's going on with the investigation into the Church of Cthulhu?" Linton asked.

"At present, the Emperor of the Yetis Empire says he knows nothing about this matter, and it is obvious that he intends to push it aside." Saint Reno said.

"Of course, I would do the same thing if I did it," Linton said.

"I originally wanted to ask Master Sword Master to check out the situation, but now it's obvious..."

"Then I would have said that they are all members of the Church of Cthulhu without looking at it." Linton said with a smile, "After all, they are my enemies now, and the Pope will not believe what I say."

"I believe that Master Sword Master would not bother to lie about this." Sheng Rino said, "But now that the two countries have officially declared war, Master Sword Master, as the king's wife, really cannot meet each other."

"Why?" Linton asked a little strangely.

"Huh?" Sheng Rino was stunned for a moment, "Well... the two countries have officially declared war, right? If they want to meet... then Master Sword Master is going to go..."

"Oh, okay, I'll just take a trip." Linton nodded directly.

"Huh?" Linton's answer made Saint Reno a little overwhelmed. Under normal circumstances, even if you are a person hired by the Holy See to identify whether the other party is the Church of Cthulhu, you cannot really go to the Yetis Empire. I'm just checking. Let's not talk about whether there is any use for you to go. After all, you are from an enemy country. If you said he was a member of the Church of Cthulhu, would he immediately recognize him? Even if it is, I can quibble immediately. And once you leave, can you come back? Aren't you afraid of being detained?

"That... that..." Of course, Sheng Rino looked confused and didn't know how to answer the question. Linton looked at Saint Reno's anxious face and said with a smile: "Sure enough, His Majesty the Pope is still worried that I lie..."

"No, it's not like that." Sheng Rino said immediately. Although it was indeed a polite word just now, there is no way to admit it directly now. Sheng Rino was just a compliment. Unexpectedly, Linton actually took it seriously. .

"His Majesty the Pope still understands me. I really don't bother to lie about this matter." Linton said, "Since His Majesty the Pope wants me to go take a look, this will help me. After all, I have been greatly criticized by you before. Take care of it."

"Huh? Wait...that..." Sheng Rino didn't know what to say. They really didn't want Linton to see this. Don't think that because you are a saint or a member of the royal family of the Holy Empire of Elan, the opponent will not touch you. This is an unrestricted war that you have declared yourself. There are already no restrictions. It is too normal to directly detain or kill you.

"Your Excellency, you want to put our church into trouble?" Saint Reno thought for a while and asked suddenly.

It was of course very simple for Saint Reno to think so. After all, what Linton meant was to investigate matters of the Cthulhu Church on behalf of the Holy See's investigators, so his identity at that time was naturally a member of the Church of Light. However, Linton's identity cannot be concealed. What will happen if the Yetis Empire finds out? Saint Reno feels that there is a high possibility that the other party will directly seize him. Who can hold back this? When the Nayetis Empire took action, it was equivalent to taking action against the church, so Saint Reno felt that Linton wanted to drag them into trouble.

"If I say yes, what is your church's answer?" Linton suddenly straightened up and asked.

"Lord Sword Master, our church has always adhered to a neutral attitude and does not want to participate in the struggle between the three major empires of the human race." Saint Reno also replied seriously.

"I see, then I understand." Linton nodded and said, "Don't worry, our empire will continue to respect the Church of Light, and future government affairs will not be affected. Please rest assured, His Majesty the Pope."

How can San Rino rest assured? Linton said that normal government affairs will not be affected, but will private interactions be affected? Linton means that in the future, except for normal government affairs, don't come to him. But the problem is that Linton is the holder of the Book of Sealing. The Holy See still needs Linton's help with many things. Their holder of the Book of Sealing has not even learned how to feel the dark atmosphere. How to play this.

"Does His Majesty the Pope think that the division of the human empire into three is a good thing for the Church of Light?" Linton said, "The three empires restrict each other, and the Pope plays a coordination role in the middle, which can not only reflect the authority of the church, but also Ensure that the imperial power will not be too great, this is what the popes have done throughout the ages."

"...Master Sword Master, please be careful what you say." Saint Reno said seriously.

"It is true that for these years, the current plan of the Church of Light is still good. However, after so many years of development, do you think it is necessary to continue to emphasize the importance of the Church of Light in the human race? Really the three major empires If one of them is gone, will the Church of Light fall?" Linton said, "The church's policy over the past century has indeed made the church's position very stable, but you have also seen the limit of this policy, and that is the light. The church can only develop within the borders of the human race and cannot expand at all. In recent years, I have also discovered that the church has made many attempts to expand outwards, but so far, there has been no progress at all."

"So what you mean is..." Sheng Rino did not directly refute, but tried to ask.

"Only when a unified country can develop outward, can the Church of Light rely on the Human Empire to continue to spread." Linton said lightly.

Saint Rino frowned. He already understood what Linton meant, but what he said made him a little confused. For a while, he didn't think about what to do.

"If His Majesty the Pope can't decide now, I think you should stop observing." Linton said with a smile, "If the church doesn't want to take me there, then I will go by myself. Anyway, the mission will also go tomorrow. If you submit a declaration of war, I will submit it on behalf of the empire, after all, I really like to declare war."
