Because even if they come up with the best plan, it is the group of people below who will finally put it into action.

In the end, it is unknown what their plan has been twisted.

The more you do this, the more you get wrong.

It's hard for anyone to change.

After this incident, Christine also completely recognized the situation of his territory.

Pinning hope on such a group of people is like hanging your life on a few strands of hair, a little pressure will completely collapse, and the speed of surrender of those local nobles is only afraid that one is faster than the other.

According to the boiling appearance of the people's resentment they are engaged in now, if the army led by the Eternal Night Army really enters the Huayu Plateau.

They only need to promise a small benefit, and those angry lords will take the initiative to open the city gates, welcome each other in, and kill all those local nobles.

Therefore, the army led by the Eternal Night must be blocked in the fault mountain range, and they must not be allowed to enter on a large scale.

Under the repeated orders of the Grand Duke Christine, the private armies of the nobles of the major places began to assemble on the border where the two sides met, and led the Eternal Night Army into the intersection of the Huayu Plateau, and read it tightly.

In addition, Archduke Christine began to have frequent contact with his daughter, Queen Enid, and the high-ranking officials of the Holy See.

Trying to merge the Flower Language Plateau into the soon-to-be-established empire of the Holy See in exchange for putting pressure on the Eternal Night Warlords to stop their large-scale invasion.

......

The royal capital, Valesta, Lancelot Palace.

The royal capital is still the royal capital, and the royal palace is still the royal palace.

But the master of the palace has changed his face.

The appearance of the royal capital has also changed with the change of the master.

During the reign of King Laurie, the number of gods, missionaries, and papal knights belonging to the Holy See of the Holy Aether had increased massively, but they knew moderation to some extent, and at least maintained a minimum of reverence for the city guards and garrisons that were directly loyal to the royal family.

Now that Queen Enid is in power, it is no longer a matter of whether they can maintain their awe, but those city guards and garrisons have put on a white coat over their original armor and clothing, and they all have huge Red Cross Holy See emblems on their chests and backs.

Show the world that they have all returned to the arms of the God of truth.

The pedestrians on the street are either wearing the plain white cross cloak of the Holy See, or they are also partial to the plain white color of the Holy See.

At the beginning, because the caravan led by the Eternal Night Army entered on a large scale, the competition for costumes caused by a hundred flowers has completely disappeared.

White, black, and red have become the main tone of Valesta.

Behind each color, it has its own special meaning.

White represents purity, and it is the color worn by ordinary believers and the military.

Black represents the majesty of the judgment, and some special judges wear this color of clothing.

Red, on the other hand, represents devotion and loyalty, and it is mostly used as a mosaic color, and only people of the most noble status wear this color of clothing, such as cardinal archbishops.

The main street of Valesta, the royal capital, was crowded with people at the moment, and both sides were crowded with believers dressed in plain white clothes.

"Come, come, come, get ready, the atoned sinner is coming soon. ”

"Fallen sinners, your eyes have been blinded by money, your souls have been seduced by demons and fallen into the abyss of sin, may you walk the road of atonement, and the true God will redeem your souls. ”

"I pray for your poor and humble souls that you will be redeemed. ”

"These three sinners, not only secretly wearing extravagant and prosperous clothes from the realm of sin, but also secretly selling them, adding to the crime, they not only ignore the decrees of the Holy See, but also erode our simple people, this is the devil's act, what are you waiting for?

"Only rotten eggs and rotten vegetables, not hard things like stones, we are redeeming their souls, not killing them!"

Countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetables, like rain, fell on the bodies of the three prisoners in the carriage cage.

The three prisoners were not wearing ragged prison uniforms, but rather the sumptuous costumes of the Eternal Night Commander, who had been famous in Valesta and sought after by countless Valalistans ten years earlier.

No matter how beautiful the costume is, after countless attacks of rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, and rotten mud, there will be no more beauty to speak of, and all that remains is a thick stench.

The citizens of Valesta had already thrown their fanatical pursuit of these sumptuous costumes out of the nine heavens, and some of them only had a hatred that could not be dissolved.

Everywhere the prisoner car passed, there was a sound of a tsunami of crusade.

After it had passed, all that remained was a field of devotional prayer, as if they had completed a devotional ritual.

The three prisoners who were imprisoned in the prison cart were guilty of a completely new crime – extravagance.

This bizarre charge is aimed at extravagant food and clothing.

If convicted of such crimes, they will not only face heavy fines, but also face the severely humiliating procession trial they have just made, and they will be reviled by the congregationals.

It is unbelievable that this crime is very popular in most dioceses.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising.

Who are the people who commit this sin?

Local lords and nobles.

Those low-level people, whether it was in the previous era of the royal family of Lancelot or the era of the Holy See, even if they wanted to commit this crime, most of them did not have the opportunity.

In the past, they were envious and jealous of the extravagant life of the local lords and nobles.

But because of the disparity in the status of the two sides, they can only dare to be angry but dare not speak, and they all hold it in their hearts.

Now this crime promoted by the Holy See has given them an opportunity to vent and attack people in the first place.

When this kind of sin appears, new hatred and old hatred, coupled with the encouragement of faith, they tend to show great fanaticism.

You don't need to experience it yourself, just by witnessing two such street trials, those local nobles will be cowardly one by one.

Heavy fines are not terrible, what is terrible is to be judged by a parade.

Once they have experienced the parade trial, they will not be able to raise their heads in front of other people in the future, and wherever they go, they will feel that someone is poking their backs in the back.

In order to avoid this kind of misfortune, many lords, nobles, and wealthy people directly donated most of their wealth to the Holy See.

Even if you don't have any wealth, you don't have to worry about committing such a strange crime.

This was an unexpected windfall when the top brass of the Holy See carried out this crime.

The main purpose of the Holy See in promoting this crime in its own diocese is to further control the minds of the faithful, which is an artificially created channel for the people at the bottom to vent their grievances.

If their discontent is vented from time to time, they will not go to extremes as easily as those revolutionary parties in the Flower Language Plateau.

At the same time, it is also a kind of check and balance for those local nobles, so that they are afraid of the Holy See and are at their mercy.

In addition, it can also fight the increasingly rampant smuggling activities of the Eternal Night Warlords in disguise, preventing them from collecting more wealth from their own territory.

The Holy See has recognized the economic erosion of the Eternal Night Warlords and the danger to their rule.

If left unchecked, most of the wealth of their realm will be sucked away from their realm by the Eternal Night Army with these useless luxuries.

However, as long as there is a relationship between supply and demand and huge interests, it is impossible to completely ban this kind of smuggling activities.

This extravagant crime of the Holy See is an out-and-out draw from the bottom of the kettle.

directly cut off the most important one in the supply and demand chain.

When no one dared to wear or use the luxuries from the Eternal Night.

The smuggling of luxury goods from the Eternal Night Commander will naturally cease.

The Lancelot Palace, as a model of the royal capital, has been the focus of countless eyes, and now it is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and it is now extremely simple.

Some flashy decorations can be torn down and dismantled, and they can be removed.

The current Lancelot Palace is probably the most modest period in history.

Queen Enid is also dressed in plain white, but the same clothes, on different people, can wear different temperaments.

The plain white clothes make her look more beautiful and less cannibalistic.

Only when reading the letterhead, the constant flashing of her gaze shows that she is not desireless.

Queen Enid quickly finished reading the letterhead, looked down at the young man below, and said, "I heard that the Eternal Night Warlord has completely blocked the road from the plateau to the royal capital, how did you come here?" ”

"The border between the two sides is long, and the roads are very complicated, no matter how strong the Eternal Night Army Leader is, it is impossible to truly achieve a complete blockade, as long as the main arteries are avoided, let alone a few people, even if it is a small team, it is not difficult to pass through. Angelo replied with a smile.

"For three weeks, I walked through the 2,000-kilometer blockade without taking the main road, and I was worthy of being a student of the University of Adunia. "Queen Enid gave high praise and affirmation to the stack, not to mention anything else, this ability to recognize the way alone is not something that ordinary people have.

"Thank you for the Queen's compliment. Angelo still looked neither humble nor arrogant, and did not reveal too much of the self-satisfaction of a young man, as if he had done a trivial and unworthy little thing.

"How is my father and the scholar of Adonia well?" said Queen Enid did not go straight to the point, but chatted about family life.

"Both of them are in good health, and the queen doesn't need to worry. Angelo replied, "They have also asked me to bring greetings to the queen, and if possible, they want her to return to the plateau to have a look." ”

"If you have the chance, you will. Queen Enid knew in her heart that the possibility of returning to the Flower Language Plateau in her life was almost zero.

Even if there was no deliberate interception by the Eternal Night Commander, the Holy See would not easily allow her to return to the Flower Language Plateau.

"I don't know how the queen thinks about His Majesty Christine's proposal?" Angelo saw that the other party was slow to enter the topic, so she could only choose to take the initiative.

There wasn't much time left for him, and as he crossed the Eternal Night Commander's blockade, he could clearly feel that the Eternal Night Commander was making final preparations.

Once the war breaks out, even a little success on his side will be greatly reduced.

Whether you can take this opportunity to transform is closely related to the completion of your tasks.

Only if the Flower Language Plateau can continue to exist, it will only make sense for him to be appreciated by Grand Duke Christine.

"Father's proposal, if it had been placed five years ago, there would have been no need to discuss it at all, I could have answered him clearly, and the Holy See would have been more than happy to agree, but now ......," Queen Enid sighed softly and said, "Angelo's envoy has come all the way, you should see the situation in the territory along the way, the Holy See has become powerful, the demand for the plateau is not so heavy, and the influence of the royal family is very weak, what I can do is far less than my father imagined." ”

"It is precisely because of the weakness that the queen should do more......" Angelo stopped talking, her gaze swept over everyone's faces.

Of course, Queen Enid knew what the other party was worried about, and reassured: "If Angelo's envoy has anything to say, it is all her own people here. ”

Angelo was not fighting an unprepared battle, he did not ask to see Queen Enid as soon as he arrived in Valesta, the royal capital, but specially took three days to collect as much information as possible about the current situation of Queen Enid and the Holy See before coming to ask for an audience.

Angelo was well aware of the situation he was facing, and it was imperative for the Holy See to replace the royal family of Lancelot and create a new kingdom, and no one could stop him.

Whoever stands in the way will be trampled under the feet of the Holy See and crushed to pieces.

Only by being in it can you really feel the frenetic religious atmosphere here.

Fanatical believers abound in the Holy See, holy powers, miracles abound, and it is difficult for those people not to believe in each other.

Angelo was a staunch atheist who believed that the God of truth that the Holy See believed in was a man-made product of the mind and not real.

The so-called holy power is just a variant spell, doesn't the Eternal Night Army Leader also have similar combat techniques and spells now?

From top to bottom, there are few who believe in the gods of truth, and they regard their lords as their own gods.

Miracles are nothing more than a means used by preachers to fool people.

In order to firmly believe this, Angelo even mixed up with a miracle descent ritual, trying to use his knowledge to debunk their methods and strengthen his beliefs.

As a result, what was waiting for was the arrival of an angel, and the missionary's fooling methods were not exposed, and Angelo's own original firm things could not be firm.

The real existence of angels can no longer be explained by common sense.

It is no wonder why such a fanatical religious atmosphere has formed in the ruling area of the Holy See.

It is no wonder that the influence of the Holy See, in a short period of time, has surpassed that of the royal family and the local lords, and it can be at the mercy of them like dolls.

In this fanatical religious atmosphere, even the wise will stop thinking and be pushed forward by the people around them, not to mention that most of the people are really not very smart.

In such cases, Queen Enid is sometimes clearly at a loss for help.
