The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but I stand in front of you, and you don't know that I love you.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

As it turned out, Cardinal Archbishop Scola did not really punish Fitzteler after threatening to take away Fetztimer's disposition from Charlemagne, and Bishop Scola, who was so preoccupied with how to save Charlole that he didn't even have time to think of Fitztier.

After the full rescue of the archmagician of the Holy See, Charolle quickly recovered from the skin wounds he had suffered, and after that, Charolle, who woke up, did not take any targeted measures against the frightened Feztier, but only warned him not to do anything wrong in the future and let him go.

Originally, he planned to use the power of the Holy See to kick the Marquis of Cullen out of the core of imperial power and deal a heavy blow to Prince William's power in one fell swoop.

After the conflict between the Kulen family and the Holy See was successfully resolved, the imperial capital, which had returned to its former tranquility, once again showed a peaceful appearance, and at this time, the idle nobles of the imperial capital began to pay their curious eyes to the Holy See and his party.

The Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Holy See are legendary characters to the young nobles of the Imperial Capital; because the relationship between the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Holy See has always been not very close, so there are not many high-level exchanges between the two sides, how could the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Holy See come to the Heavenly Dragon Empire?

Moreover, the identity of the Holy Son Charolle and the Holy Daughter Charlotte is not ordinary Holy Son and Holy Daughter, they are the grandsons and granddaughters of the Holy See, and this is enough to let the nobles of the imperial capital know how noble their status is just from the protective power around them.

Although the nobles of the empire did not know much about the Holy See, they did know some of the most basic common knowledge about the Holy See, such as the main administrative organs of the Holy See, the Inquisition, the ascetics, and the fighting forces of the Knights of Light and the Knights Templar.

Among them, the ascetic group is composed of the most devout ascetics of the Holy See, and usually does not show up in secular time at all, and the Inquisition, as the name suggests, is a group of the Holy See that specializes in dealing with heretical believers such as the Dark Council, beast gods, and barbarian gods.

As for the Cardinal Council, which is composed of twelve cardinal archbishops, that is the real core of the power of the Holy See, and according to legend, each of the twelve cardinal archbishops of the Holy See is a high-ranking powerhouse, and has the power to elect and dismiss the pope!

Twelve cardinal archbishops of the high-level saint-level realm, the strength of just one cardinal is so powerful, which is why the Holy See can become the strongest strength of mankind;

Taking the group of the Holy See who came to the imperial capital of the Celestial Dragon Empire this time as an example, Charlore and Charlotte, who have special identities, will not mention for the time being; in addition to Cardinal Archbishop Scola, there are also twelve sword guards and magic guards of the papal guard of the Holy See.

Among the twelve sword guards, three of them are junior sword masters, and the remaining nine sword guards are all peak realm great swordsmen; among the twelve magic guards, two of them are light archmages one step away from the magister, and the remaining nine magic guards are all high-level archmages.

It can be called an extremely luxurious combination, allowing the nobles of the imperial capital to see the power of the Holy See for the first time, and even Charlemagne, as the emperor of the empire, was secretly shocked after learning about the strength of these people in the Holy See.

All that happened in the imperial capital was told to Bai Feng by Ames through the secret channel of the secret guard, and it was precisely because of the understanding of the Marquis of Kulun's own difficult situation that Bai Feng deliberately expressed his tough attitude in the report sent to the imperial capital.

And Ames, after knowing Bai Feng's attitude, advised Bai Feng not to push Marquis Cullen too much, because the possibility of Marquis Cullen's comeback is still very high;

Charlemagne's act of ordering Prince William to dismiss the Golden Guards and demote the title of Duke of Cullen to a Marquis was, in Bai Feng's view, just an act of anger;

At that time, the current Marquis of Cullen will become Duke of Cullen again, and Prince William's Golden Guard will also be reorganized under the order of Charlemagne, but all this has nothing to do with Bai Feng, he and Prince William and Duke Cullen are still enemies after all.

Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, what Bai Feng has to do at this time is just to try his best to get some benefits from the degraded Marquis of Kulun that are not desirable under normal circumstances, such as more and more sophisticated weapons and equipment, food and grass, the command of the new legion, and so on.

Recently, the Marquis of Kulun, who was anxious about his young son, received a report from Bai Feng to the military headquarters as the commander of the army in Besançon, and his first reaction was not to scold, but to realize that this was an opportunity for himself and Prince William!

For the empire, which had just stopped fighting in the east, there was nothing more important than stopping the northern steppe army from continuing southward, and once the news spread that the Jurchen tribal army was gathering a large army to continue southward, the role of the imperial military headquarters would immediately become apparent.

If there is no overall mobilization of resources and troops from the Imperial Military Department to reinforce the north, how can the army in the north, which is insufficient in equipment, grain and grass, and troops, be able to withstand the continued southward invasion of the steppe army?

As long as the value of the military department is recognized by Charlemagne and the magnates of the imperial capital, as the Minister of War of the Empire, he will inevitably be valued by everyone, and in this way, his title will be restored, and Prince William's Golden Guard may also be reorganized.

The Marquis of Kulun, who had a clear idea, on the second day after receiving Bai Feng's report, informed Charlemagne and his palace ministers in detail of Bai Feng's report on the northern military situation;

It's not that the magnates of the imperial capital can't stand the fright, but after the fall of the six northern provinces, the front of the grassland army is getting closer and closer to the imperial capital;

In order to avoid this situation, the magnates of the imperial capital would naturally try their best to meet Bai Feng's request for reinforcements, and Charlemagne, who was really in charge, first reiterated the heavy responsibility that the military department should bear, and then justifiably restored the title of Duke of Cullen.

Even the Duke of Cullen has been restored, and the restoration of Prince Wilhelm's Golden Guard has undoubtedly been proposed by Charlemagne, who has given the reason that Prince Wilhelm, as his eldest son, must shoulder more responsibilities in times of imperial crisis.

Duke Cullen successfully restored his title by taking advantage of Bai Feng's report, and helped Prince William rebuild the Golden Guard, and the price he paid for this was to give Bai Feng four newly built legions and 30,000 new military recruits, as well as 10,000 war horses and a large amount of military rations.

No one expected that the Holy See's son and daughter, who happened to be at the meeting, would make a request to Charlemagne to go to the front line of Besançon Province after learning of the military situation reported by Bai Feng to the military department.
