Chapter 127 The Change of the Principality

The heavy rain was pouring, and a carriage drove into Lord Donald's mansion in the heavy rain. There was a patio in the middle. The people who came out of the carriage hurried over with a waterproof raincoat coat. The servant who was holding an umbrella to meet him couldn't help but be stunned.

As soon as he entered the hall, the man took off his hat and complained, "The weather is so bad!"

"Yes, general, just like the political weather in Butany now!" Donald came up, smiled and took the hat from the man's hand, handed it to the servant, waved his hand and said, "General, please sit down!"

This is a man with a square face. His hair is gray, but there are still few wrinkles on his face. There is only a deep scar on his left cheek, and his cold and solemn face is always a bit fierce.

He was tall, but his back was a little hunched. Despite this, when he looked at people, he still had a downward momentum. He nodded, looked at the long table, saw the situation inside clearly, and couldn't help but frowned slightly, and the middle of his eyebrows became a deep Sichuan character.

The room was very dark under the rainstorm. A row of candles were lit on the long table, which looked like they were about to have dinner, but the table was empty and there was absolutely no plate. Both sides of the table were filled with people, their faces were solemn, and they did not stand up because of his arrival, and they looked worried.

The general subconsciously touched the scar on his cheek, sat down on his main seat, and his eyes flashed across the faces of these people. Although the people sitting on his left were wearing all kinds of clothes, they all sat straight and upright. The general recognized that those people were all senior generals in the Duchy of Butani.

On the right hand side are powerful figures in municipal, council and other departments, as well as some nobles.

Donald walked back to his seat, pressed the table and glanced at everyone, then slowly sat down: "Okay, let's start now."

General Shute took the lead and said, "I don't care about anything else. I just want to tell you that the economy of the Principality is messy now. My soldiers want to support their families and eat, drink and have fun. No matter how they live, they need more or less money, but they are now unable to get anything.

The soldiers have now refused to go out for fun, patrol, and some have been abandoned. If any country declares war on us now, I don’t know if we can still lead a unit that can fight. Our once brave and good-for-war army will collapse. The soldiers have thoughts, not a bunch of puppets, soon... we will not be able to control the situation. I think the situation of the border guards and the city guards is almost the same. Maybe the Grand Duke’s personal guards will be better?"

A general immediately scoffed: "General Xiute, I do not deny that the treatment of the personal guards is better, but now it has also dropped to the worst situation. The most important thing is that no one gives us the opportunity to change all this. The Holy Church of Light and Apia are fighting a war, and the situation is deteriorating further. The surrounding countries are waiting to give us a fatal blow..."

He shook his head and couldn't continue to speak. Military and political officials began to take turns speaking, telling the various predicaments in front of him and the dangers of surrounding countries being ready to move. The source of all problems directly points to Grand Duke Butani.

The general listened quietly, and finally knocked on the table impatiently and asked them: "Thank you and complain to you to no avail. I want to know, what are your opinions on the current situation?"

Judge Brian whispered a few words with a respected MP, coughing: "From a legal perspective, if a monarch is confused and unable to govern or acts against the government, it will lead the entire country into the abyss, the parliament and the court have the right to use emergency bills to deprive him of his rights, limit his freedoms, and safeguard the national interests."

The general of the chief leader leaned over slightly, stared at Judge Brian, and said coldly: "Simply put, is he a rebellion?"

Judge Brian blushed and he was afraid to look at him.

Count Alexander's eyes flashed and he interrupted, "Everyone, I have no hope for the future of the principality. Please consider your personal future. As far as I know, the Grand Duke is not unaware of this situation, but the measures he has taken...

The Grand Duke and Bishop Christopher have had a close relationship recently. He wanted to borrow some money from the Holy Church of Light to overcome this difficult situation. At the same time..., he wanted to use the power of the Knights of Light to deprive all dissidents of the military of the power and firmly control the army in his own hands."

"Hiss!" The people in the room couldn't help but gasp.

A muffled thunder broke out in the sky at the right time, adding a bit of tension. During this period, they have seen many bloody and cruel things that the Glorious Holy Sect did under the guise of eliminating cults. Those things are really a hundred times more violent than the battle between the enemy and us on the battlefield. If the Glorious Holy Sect uses this hand to them...

The cold face of the general in the chief could not help but feel a little worried: "A country cannot be without a monarch, and the previous Grand Duke has no other descendants. If you take action against the Grand Duke, the Principality will become a mess of sand. Have you ever thought about this serious consequence?"

Judge Brian immediately interfered: "Of course, if there is no new monarch to execute his powers, the consequences will be unimaginable. However..., the Grand Duke is not without heirs!"

The general glanced at him with amazement, and Judge Brian said slyly: "According to the law, when the Grand Duke had no descendants, the Grand Duke was the first heir."

The general's eyes suddenly froze, and he said word by word: "Elizabeth... Queen?"

On the table, many people nodded at the same time.

They were not surprised, and it was obvious that they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in private.

The general hesitated for a moment, slowly closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, and the atmosphere suddenly became suppressed.

Outdoor, heavy rain is like a waterfall, with thunder; indoors, it is silent and silent.

After a long time, Mr. Donald hesitated to the general with the highest authority and prestige, and asked: "General, do you mean..."

"Boom..." Another thunder sounded heavy, shaking the candlelight on the table.

The general stood up slowly, and his expression seemed to have grown a lot aged: "The last grand duke appreciated me and promoted me, and I cannot use the power given to me by the grand duke to imprison the grand duke."

The general, officials and nobles all looked nervous. Mr. Donald left his seat and wanted to stop him, but he did not dare to really reach out. He said hurriedly: "General, you..."

The general shook his head and said, "I am old and in poor health. I will take leave these days and go back to the country villa to recuperate."

He walked to the door, took the hat from the servant and put it on, looked up at the rainwater pouring under the eaves of the corridor, and said thoughtfully: "The rain is so heavy today, this kind of weather... is not suitable for going out. Today, I have been staying at home and have never been to anywhere!"

The three words "never been" came from the corridor. After saying this, his figure no longer entered the rain curtain like a curtain.

The people in the room were stunned for a moment. I don’t know who cheered first, and then everyone hugged them in joy...

The Western Route Army of the Holy War Chapter of the Light God Cult was wiped out, the Central Route Army was defeated, and the commander of the Eastern Route Army who learned the news was assassinated again. The First Battle was forced to die, and the Holy War Knights of the Light God Cult began a great retreat.

At this time, the surrounding countries shook their olive branches to the Kingdom of Apia, and messengers kept commuting, and a large number of aid materials were delivered to them free of charge in the name of the Kingdom of Apia.

Politically, these countries hope that the Kingdom of Apiah could grow and restrain the Grand Duke Butani to ensure peace. Ideologically, these monarchs highly appreciate the view that "the power of the king" and "I am the country" proposed by the Church of Hope.

They keenly felt that this consciousness had not been implemented yet. If every subject really allowed to accept this concept from the bottom of his heart, what a great impact would it have on himself.

The Apiya soldiers and civilians were in a rainbow of momentum and launched a large counterattack. The Holy Church of Light was defeated step by step. On the one hand, they were really defeated. On the other hand, they were deliberately introducing the war into Butani and forcing the Grand Duke Butani to join their battle group.

There is no complete church of the Holy Church of Light or Hope Church in the small border town of Trent. The whole city has almost become an empty city, but occasionally some pedestrians in ragged clothes, like ghosts, are floating aimlessly across the streets. Although the city has been cleared, the ruins can be seen everywhere; although the bodies have been burned, dried blood is still covered with the streets.

Today, this place has become a military camp. A senior general of the Hope God Cult is living in the mansion of the city lord, and the door is under high alert.

The two mysterious guests were General Sultan and Count Alexander of the Principality of Butani, and opposite were Queen Elizabeth and Jadisakel, the first deputy commander of the Knights of Blood Rose.

"Queen, that's the case. We have reached a consensus and decided to support the Queen as King of Apia, Butani and Cloa to resolve the current contradictions and crises.

This is for the peace of the country and the well-being of the people. Please allow the Queen to agree to us. As long as we get the approval of the Queen, we will start immediately. After the matter is completed, please ask the Queen to ascend the throne of the United Kingdom."

"For Apia and Butani can live in peace, and for both sides no longer have endless killings, I promise you, General!" Queen Elizabeth was dignified and elegant in front of others, and she did not see the charming and charming style in the boudoir: "Do you need me to do something? General."

"Yes, we need the Knights and Monks of the Kingdom of Apia to cooperate. When we reach the original Apia border, we must stop the attack! Otherwise..."

General Shute smiled bitterly and said, "The flames of religious wars may only be calmed down. If the Knights of Blood Rose enter the Principality of Butani, the situation will definitely be out of control again. Therefore, they need to stop, and we will launch a mutiny in time to arrest the Archbishops of the Grand Duke and the Cardinal Archbishops, bishops and senior priests of the Holy Church of Light. This mess needs to be changed immediately."

Queen Elizabeth nodded gently: "War is a double-edged sword. No matter who wins or loses, both sides will be hurt. I promise you, General Shute. Do you need some help from me? The Holy Church of Light has many people with excellent magic and martial arts, and Butani himself has very superb martial arts."

Count Alexander said happily: "This is certainly more appropriate. If the Queen can send a helping hand, I believe she will be more confident."

Elizabeth nodded with a smile, and her bright eyes swept towards Jady. Jady nodded in a difficult sense...

The Duke of Butani's personal guards sounds like a team of guards, but it actually controls one-third of the city's troops, and it has the strongest equipment and combat power, and is the elite among the elites.

The captain of the personal guard, Glazt, is an outstanding officer, young and handsome, with a bright future. He is loyal to the Grand Duke Butani. Glazt is not only first-class martial arts, but also has excellent military leadership skills.

Today, General Xiute invited him to drink with the mansion. Although the power of General Xiute was not as great as his, his military rank was much higher than that of him. Glazt could not help him, so he agreed to come to the door.

As soon as he left, deputy captain Kane rushed to the command station of the guard. Today, another deputy captain Adevin was on duty. Kane walked into the office and closed the door tightly. I wonder what the two of them were talking about inside, but after a cup of tea, deputy captain Kane came out.

The moment he closed the door, if someone stood at the door and at the right angle, he would see Captain Edwin leaning on the table, as if he was asleep. One of his hands was hanging on the edge of the table, and thick liquid fell to the ground along his fingertips.

The military's arrest operation began. As soon as the battle began, it was about benevolence and forgiveness. It was to be cruel to oneself. The military did not have that stupid politician. The army was frequently mobilizing generals and officials loyal to the Duke of Butani, as well as bishops, priests, commanders of the Knights of the Light, deputy commanders of the Knights of the Light, and all the main members were all in the storm.

The Parliament and the Supreme Court of the Principality jointly issued a secret bill to arrest all members of the Holy Church of Light within the Duchy of Butani. All political opponents, including the Grand Duke of Butani, were accused of being rebuked as members of the church, weakening their political identities.

The Holy Church of Light became a heresy in the Principality of Butani, hoping that the Divine Church would be established as its only faith, but in fact it became a larger religious war. However, the Holy Church of Light was too large, and its torso stretched too far, and the reaction had not been transmitted back to its brain and heart.

In the prayer room of the Temple of the Church of Light, Archbishop Christopher was communicating with the Pope. He had already obtained the portrait of Jady and confirmed that the so-called Jady Vorov was the missing Jedi Saker in the Principality of Norman, and the "walker on earth" that the Pope once told them to secretly take care of.

But there was no sign of the maintenance of the Holy Church of Light that Jadisakul had done. Archbishop Christopher was very puzzled by this. He said indignantly: "Nixia, are you sure that Abraham's intelligence has not made any mistakes? Is this Jadisakul really a 'walker on earth'?

If it weren't for him, I believe we have now taken control of the Principality of Butani; if it weren't for him, Apiah now has no power to resist us."

The pope asked faintly: "Are you sure? Without him, you can control the military and political affairs of the Duke of Butani? The army of the Grand Duke of Butani has never acted. This man is arrogant and unruly, and is definitely not a truly devout believer. Do you know that when you attack Apia and when both sides suffer losses, the Grand Duke will not do anything to you as the monarch of Apia?"

"Nixia, all this is speculation, but Jedisakel's actions are clearly in a dilemma with us!"

The Pope closed his eyes and then slowly opened: "God stood at a completely different height, and what he saw was not what we could understand? The most difficult thing in this world is to change people's ideas and beliefs. Under normal circumstances, it may take thousands of years to turn the Tagore Empire into a kingdom of God's faith, just like the Ross Empire."

He raised his head thoughtfully and said, "However, there is a way to speed up this historical process, that is, war! Defeat and then establish, which can quickly and completely establish a new ideology on the ruins of old ideas."

"Yes, Nishi!" Christopher lowered his head humbly: "This is exactly the purpose of Nishi sending us to Tagore to give to the gospel of God. But Jedisaker..."

The Pope's eyes flashed slightly: "What is the difference between what he does and what you do? The knife doesn't have to be held in our hands. We just want to cut the cake in front of us. It doesn't matter who will cut it!"

"But this knife is too dangerous, Nishi, it has pointed at us!" Christopher was excited: "I hope the Church of God is promoting a new doctrine, 'the power of the king is granted', 'I am the country', this idea is very dangerous."

The pope was moved: “Is this what… the 'Walker on Earth’ advocated?”

"No, I can't be sure. But this is a new doctrine that the Church of God openly preached, and Jedisaker is helping them grow."

The pope stood up uneasily, and he could be seen walking around the room in the crystal ball. After a while, he raised his hand and said, "This is strange, Christopher, he is injecting people with a thought, a dangerous thought, but the people do not need thoughts, they only need faith!"

"I...get it, you go back first!"

"Yes!" Christopher bowed, and when he stood up again, the crystal ball had returned to its normal light.

In the main temple of the Temple of Light in the Ross Empire, the pope was walking uneasily under the neon, dragging the red pope robe three meters long and gently dragging it across the bloody red carpet.

"Is Jedi Saker really the messenger of God? Why did he preach this dangerous doctrine? I thought he was using another method to provoke disputes in the Tagore Empire and create opportunities for us to illuminate the land of the Tagore Empire, but how could he preach such a terrible idea? Is the supreme existence to change its course and abandon Guangwan Holy Church, or...we have we misunderstood his identity at all?"

The pope walked uneasily, suddenly stopped, slowly raised his head and looked at the empty space: "I... want to pray to the Supreme God and ask the God to give the decree. I need to confirm Jedi Saker's true identity!"

Deputy Commander Khals of the Glorious Knights was on his way back to Butani City. The jihad failed and the entire army was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. The army remained on the border and confronted Apia's army with the fortress. It seemed that the other party had no determination to attack Butani, otherwise they would have sent troops before the deployment was completed, which made him somewhat relieved.

But he needed to immediately return the details to the Archbishop to decide a new strategy. At this moment, the Temple of Light was surrounded by a large army, and among the sergeants, Dolores, Canary and several senior priests of the Hope God Cult.

There were not many people returning to the city, only more than sixty riders. The big ruble followed closely behind Karthas. In front of them, there was a mid-year-old knight in a majestic armor. He was the commander of the regiment, Jacques.

Their team had just turned on a path, which was closer, but was not suitable for large groups of people to walk. There was a jungle on the side of the road, and they were about to return to Butani City. They held the flag of the Holy Church of Light, and there would be no danger here, and everyone was relaxed.

But at this moment, a shrill cry that made the soul whimpered, and countless sharp crossbows shot out from the dense forest. It was so terrifying. It was a giant crossbow. There were countless bed crossbows placed in the forest for siege combat. Hard arrows as thick as guns that could smash the bluestones of the city were shot out from the forest.

"Be careful!" Karthas shouted in horror. The giant crossbow was approaching. He kicked his horse and jumped into the air like a big bird. The ruble jumped up like him almost at the same time. The terrifying force of the powerful crossbow could not even snatch its edge.

"Puff!" A spear-like sword penetrated the horse's body and continued to shoot back with a bloody rain. Some knights had been shot through by crossbow arrows, and a huge hole broke out on their chests. The general leader Jacques did not move. He was a mediocre middle-aged man. If he was wearing ordinary clothes and mixed in the crowd, no one would have noticed him. But at this time, his eyes opened, and his whole body suddenly had a strange spirit, as if he was as arrogant as a god.

A ball of white light like a holy flame jumped behind his shoulders. He shouted loudly, and his fists suddenly rushed forward, and the two hard crossbows shot at him were approaching at a distance that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. However, the speed suddenly slowed down when it was close. They seemed to have encountered an invisible force and were blocked outside.

The force of the crossbow shooting is huge. Due to the blockage, the powerful penetration force is converted into another kind of energy, destroying the hard crossbow itself. The spear-like hard crossbow exploded, split, exploded into a ball of wood chips, then burned and caught fire, turning into ashes.

Two iron spearheads fell into his hands, as if they were set off by fire, and quickly melted, and the iron flowed into the ground. At this moment, Commander Jacques was like a god.

"Come out!" Commander Jacques shouted. Most of the knights behind him had died tragically on the ground. Few people were wearing crossbow arrows. Their strong bodies were thinner than the giant arrows. The sharp arrows were penetrated. The wounds of the bowl were exposed on the armor, and blood was flowing out from it, like some mechanical leakage of lubricating grease.

A group of plainclothes men walked out of the bushes. Each of them was in groups of three, one holding a short crossbow, one holding a big sword with both hands, and one holding a spear, and rushed into the pool of blood arrogantly, and added a sword or stabbed a spear to each of the Knights of Light who still had energy, resulting in their lives.

The three general commander Jacques, Karlsas and Rubs stood together in the finished shape of the soldiers, turning a deaf ear to the soldiers. In front of them, there were three young people. The general commander Jacques shrank and he recognized the identities of these three people without Karlsas' introduction.

Jedisakel, Picassovando, and Salist, three young men in the Hope of the God Cult. When the two armies were facing each other, as the commanders of the army, they did not lead the army to fight, but sneaked into the rear of the Duchy of Butani...

No! It's not about sneaking in! They can sneak in quietly with a team of soldiers, but they can never carry a bulky crossbow with them. It is a powerful weapon to defend the city. Even the small crossbows that are easy to move by dwarves cannot be transported in by them in absolute manner unless...
Chapter completed!
