Chapter 606: The Struggle Between Divine Power and Kingship

Sean dug up from the mouth of the god of death, about bubble cosmology, elemental tides, plane laws and the like, and basically popularized it with Sophia.

There is no need to keep this kind of theoretical speculation secret.

Sean originally wanted to wait for Princess Sophia to learn systematically after marriage, but now it can only be put on the agenda.

Sophia is the most broad-minded group of people in the world, and she is still dumbfounded in the face of this new doctrine and theory, which is no longer a simple unbelievable statement.

"Do you believe that everything they say is true?" asked Princess Sophia after a moment's pause.

"I know this sounds hard to believe, but everything that is happening on the entire continent is pointing in this direction, otherwise, how do you explain the fact that the magic energy is becoming stronger?Why are there endless demonic beasts in various places?First a god of death, then a messenger of the Holy See True God, why didn't they come out sooner or later, but they appeared in a bunch at this time?" Sean asked rhetorically, not answering.

Sean didn't wait for Sophia to react, and continued: "Recently, I have learned a truth, that is, some things in legends and history books should be viewed with a skeptical attitude, and if they can't be seen now, it doesn't mean that they didn't exist before, and it doesn't mean that they won't appear in the future."

The Holy See has a long history of promoting demons and the threat of demons, and there must be a reason for it.

Just because there are no demons and demons on the continent of Ashane does not mean that there are no demons outside of this continent, or even from this world.

According to the bubble cosmology, the higher the concentration of magic energy, the closer the distance between the two worlds, the heavier the mutual influence, and the thinner the plane barrier. ”

"Absurd, this is so absurd, are you sure you're not telling a legend?" Princess Regent Sophia shook her head, still unable to believe everything Sean said.

Sophia is different from those high-ranking leaders of the Eternal Night Army, she has not experienced the earth-shaking changes brought by Sean in the past year, nor has she been able to witness the evil and horror of the god of death, and she doubts everything Sean said more seriously.

However, due to secrecy, Sean can't explain it to Princess Sophia now.

"You don't need to believe it completely, but you can't believe it completely. Sean didn't force it, no matter who it was, it would take a while to digest it if so much news was suddenly stuffed into his head.

"My mind is a little messy, so I'm left alone to be quiet and think. Sophia rubbed her forehead.

"After the beginning of spring, we will launch an offensive against the Kentana barbarians on the Eastern Front, completely clear the internal scourge, at least for half a year, there will be no way to provide you with any strong support, when you make decisions, it is best to take this into account, one thing is certain, no matter what you decide, I will stand behind you and support you. Sean made his attitude clear to Sophia in advance.

For the Holy See, Sean is not sensitive at all.

He was not opposed to faith, as evidenced by his treatment of Darnell's Protestantism.

Nine times out of ten, things in the world are not as good as they should be.

People always have times of vulnerability, and it is understandable to find a spiritual pillar and support.

But he didn't like the Holy See's model of faith mixed with too much politics, and for a territory, they were a cancer of domination, just look at the state of the Lancelot royal family.

Now that there are even more so-called true divine messengers with unknown circumstances, it is even more tricky.

If it is allowed to grow savagely, it is almost inevitable that it will go against the Eternal Night Army Leader at that time.

More precisely, it was inevitable to go on the opposite side with all the military lords.

Unless those military lords allow one more divine right from above to come out and accept the rule of the Holy See.

"Thank you!" Sophia said lightly squeezing Sean's hand, "thanks to you this time." ”

"The two of us don't have to be so polite. Sean said with a smile.

This year is an eventful year for the Byron Alliance, and the monstrous soldiers of the Western Odin Empire have not yet arrived, and the plague of faith in the Holy See has spread at a terrifying speed first.

Sean was right, only those low-level lords and nobles who really threw themselves into the arms of the Holy See, and the real nobles were strongly hostile to them, especially the Grand Duchy families of several military leaders, among which the Twin Peninsula and the Kingsley family of the Carthusian military leader behind the witches' secret meeting were the most.

The first two represent the will of the witches' secret order, while the latter is afraid that they will become puppets of the Holy See.

At the beginning, in order to save the Eastern Army trapped in Brother Harbor, Archduke Buck was sick and rushed to the hospital, and once used the power of the Holy See to put pressure on the royal family of Lancelot, and in a roundabout way to influence the decision-making of the Eternal Night Commander.

It is unclear how much help the Holy See has provided to the Kingsley family, but the residual poison left by the agreement between the two sides is still there, at least for the Kingsley family.

Their mine slavery system was inherently incompatible with the dogma of the Holy See, and no matter how much they reformed it, it could not change the fact that their status was unequal.

The more widespread the faith of the Holy See, the greater the number of miners affected, and the stronger the various revolts.

Only five churches had been built on the promise of Archduke Buck, but they were halted and left in ruins.

The rest is prevarication and procrastination on a variety of grounds.

Anyway, this kind of promise is empty and white.

Now a new pope has appeared, a messenger of the true gods, and a holy power, and is ready to preach to the Carthusian army.

Archduke Barker knew he was going to suffer as soon as he heard this, and if he sat idly by and ignored this matter, the entire system of Carthusian military rule would be in jeopardy.

But just by himself, there was no way to stop this matter, and the first thing he thought of at this time was naturally the Lancelot royal family.

The first contact between Grand Duke Buck and Princess Regent Sophia was Prince Laurie, who switched to Princess Regent Sophia after discovering that Prince Laurie was in an abnormal state of support for the Holy See.

This is another game of kingship and theocracy.

This time the theocracy was significantly stronger, and the ruling class of the persecuted Byron League had to unite to resist the attack from the faith.

The ruling class of the Byron Alliance is not without the power to fight back, after all, faith cannot fill the bellies of these believers, once they unite to block the Holy Aether Holy See, let those believers choose between faith and filling their bellies.

For the Holy See, it was also a disaster.

Unless one side has the determination to break the net and is ready for an all-out war, a stalemate will inevitably lead to political negotiations after a period of stalemate.

Although the Holy See has the messenger of the true gods and the new holy power, but the time to obtain it is still short, the new Pope St. George has just come to the front of the stage, the foundation is not stable, at this stage the main thing is to stabilize the rule and expand the influence, and definitely does not want to go to war.

Whether it is the Lancelot royal family or the Kingsley family, it is estimated that they will not be able to muster such courage in a short time, and risk the destruction of their own territory to start an all-out war with the Holy Aether Holy See, after all, this is a civil war, even if it is won, it will hurt the people under its rule.

They are even more unsure of how many devout disciples in their army belong to the Holy Aether Holy See, and once a fight breaks out, it will be bad if they suddenly turn against the Holy See in the back.

This is the most troublesome place for the Holy Aether Holy See compared to the foreign enemies such as the Orcs of Odin.

One thing is certain, the more peaceful political environment of the Byron Union is gone.

Only Prince Laurie would foolishly believe that the divine and royal powers could be unified when there were already two very different interest groups.

No one is willing to give up their vested interests, even if they are two lives, they think they are not nostalgic for power, and Sean, who was still thinking about what kind of democratic system he was thinking about, is not so free and easy, and now who dares to try to try the eternal night military leader.

The struggle between royal power and divine power will only intensify, and it is not impossible to finally move towards the settlement of disputes by force.

Before doing so, the Eternal Night Warlord must be well prepared.

The first to be solved was naturally the Kentana barbarian problem.

The Kentana barbarians have begun to prepare for the idea of fighting the Eternal Night Lord.

The output on the tundra steppe is not enough to support the consumption of the entire Kentana barbarians.

Their huge size means that the food consumed to maintain their bodies is far more than that of ordinary people, and the total consumption of the 100,000 Kentana barbarians gathered is more than one million Andes, which is a bit exaggerated, but the top 300,000 or 400,000 is not false.

These Kentana barbarians have little management experience, and they don't know what it means to unify the distribution of materials and survive the difficult period.

As a result, just two-thirds of the way through the winter, their food had bottomed out.

The two Kentana barbarian tribes were in the same situation, and there was little point in attacking each other, and they could only focus on the outside of the Kentana Ice Field, the Eternal Night Commander who had previously delivered some food to them in order to pacify and establish relations.

Just as the Eternal Night Army feared before they took the lead, for a race that worships strength, if you don't show them strong force first, even if you show good intentions, it will be a meat bun beating a dog, attracting their prying eyes.

Before the cold winter had passed, the two Kentana barbarian tribes had begun to assemble on a large scale towards the eastern mountains of the Andes Mountains.

The cold weather does not have much impact on them, after all, their living environment is frozen for most of the time, and they have long been accustomed to this mode of life, and their physical condition has adapted to this situation to a certain extent.

According to the research of the Eternal Night Commander, the resistance of the Kentana barbarians to frost is obviously higher than that of ordinary people.

Then there is the fact that the Kentana barbarians are not dragged down by supplies, and they should not be expected to maintain an organized movement in the nature of an army.

When on mobile, most of them revert back to the family and tribal state, except for a few of them.

At this time, the army led by the Eternal Night Army had also assembled a seven-seven-eighty-eight in the ruins group fort, and all the marshals and generals had gathered in the military war room and had a heated discussion on the military map.

"I think it's a good thing that the Kentana barbarians took the initiative to fight, compared to fighting them on the tundra steppe, it would be more beneficial for us to fight them in the east mountains, firstly, our supply lines would not have to be stretched so long, and secondly, it would be easier to use the terrain to break them individually. Marshal Dicron pointed to the military map, "If you fall into a large-scale chaotic battle on the tundra steppe, it will be difficult to control the casualties of both the enemy and the enemy. ”

During this time, the Lord's Guard had been assisting Marshal McGee's First Army, capturing the Kentana barbarians in the tundra steppes.

There is a deeper understanding of the frontal combat ability of these barbarians from the wilderness.

Even with the use of new combat skills, the Eternal Night Army leads soldiers against the Kentana barbarians, and the odds of winning heads-up are no more than 30%.

And that's still with the equipment and training gaps.

If they were to go head-to-head with the Kentana barbarians from the Ancestral Spirit Legion, their victory rate would not even be tenth.

The Ancestral Spirit Legion is now the undisputed First Legion of the Eternal Night Lord.

"If the purpose of our operation is to exterminate the Kentana barbarians, it is not particularly difficult...... "Kelman's chief of staff spoke.

Before he finished speaking, there were several muffled snorts from the side.

Several of the generals of the Ancestral Spirit Legion showed displeasure, and although they were born as barbarians in Kentana, although they were now loyal to Sean, it did not mean that they were willing to hear others talk about and slander their clan.

Kelman's main chief of staff feigned a cough, and said apologetically to several Kentana barbarian generals: "I have no intention of underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Kentanans, your bravery and combat effectiveness are the best in the world, and no one can deny this, but in this world, it is not that individual force can solve any incident, the power of artillery, you have already seen it, do you think your people can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery groups?"

Several Kentana barbarian generals glanced at each other, and the embarrassed look on their faces could not be concealed in any way.

During the military exercise half a month ago, they were deeply impressed by the artillery of the Eternal Night Army.

In the face of this new weapon, even the bravery of the Kentana barbarians will become a joke, even if there are ancestral spirit warriors (champion knight level) with ancestral spirit possession, they will not dare to resist head-on, let alone those ordinary Kentana barbarians.

No matter how strong they are, they are flesh and blood.

In addition to being embarrassed, they also had a little pride that they couldn't hide, because they heard afterwards that this kind of cannon was designed and developed by Lord Sean, not only this powerful weapon, but most of the good things in the entire Eternal Night Army Leader originated from Sean, who was the reincarnation of the Kentana barbarian ancestral spirit.

If it weren't for the ancestral spirit's desire to take down these Andes without blood, and to take advantage of the relatively abundant products of the Andes Mountains and their dexterous hands, these things would have belonged to their Kentana barbarians.

"If you use external forces, the clansmen will not obey, only by defeating them head-on and letting them know the strength of the ancestral spirit, they will faithfully follow the ancestral spirit. General Cologne said in a non-standard Andesian language.

Zu Yuan, another general of the Ancestral Spirit Legion, nodded and agreed: "We are here to save our people, not to kill, only by using traditional means to get them, they will be truly convinced, and they are not clear about the special situation of the ancestral spirit, only by telling all the clansmen the special situation of the ancestral spirit, can they take the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of the ancestral spirit." ”

In the space of consciousness, what these Kentana barbarians need to learn and make up for is not only the martial arts and combat skills tailored for them, but also a lot of basic knowledge and some concepts.

Without these ideas, they would be a bunch of savages from the wilderness, and it would be much more difficult to integrate into the Eternal Night Lord.

In that case, even with the Ancestral Spirit Faith as a bond, it would be difficult for them to form a sense of identity with the Eternal Night Leader.

Under normal circumstances, only through a long period of running-in, after several generations of integration, to form a life pattern that is acceptable to both parties, can we officially get on the right track.

However, the existence of consciousness space greatly slows down this process.
