The last day of 189 years was passed in a lively atmosphere. With Allen's large investment of manpower, material and financial resources, the entire city of Essis did not really end until midnight. It has a bit of a taste of the city that never sleeps.

Although, in the eyes of many, this day is destined to be unusual. But for those ordinary people, it's just one more festival to celebrate and carnival.

In this way, we ushered in the first day of the 190th year of the Holy Light Calendar.

God gave Alan a lot of face, and the first day ushered in a beautiful morning. The faint mist dissipates as soon as the sun rises, and the remaining dew reflects a colorful brilliance, revealing its last rays. The mischievous spirit of light nimbly walked through the gaps between the treetops, and was about to land steadily in joy, but was disturbed by a group of people who were spoiled by the scenery.

The golden irises shine brighter in the sun. A long procession gathered outside the city of Essis, waiting for their master.

"Your Majesty, if you are not well entertained, please forgive me. Wishing you a safe journey. ”

Alan led his men to respectfully see off the nobles of Gloria and Ammusi at the gates of Essis.

"Your Excellency the Duke is polite, you should also take care!"

Gloria bowed softly. She regained her calm grace, as if yesterday's gaffe was nothing more than an illusion.

Alan nodded at Gloria, his gaze to the side. Fiona had already removed the cold armor, and a light aristocratic dress completely showed off her usual concealed femininity.

"You have to take care, I'll wait for you to come back."

Fiona looked into Alan's dark eyes and hummed softly.

Duke Lawrence frowned behind him and said nothing, looking at the two of them with some distress.

This is, Manuel took two steps forward and walked in front of Allen with a look of wanting to speak and stopping. The inner battle between heaven and man is manifested on the face.

Seeing this, Alan was the first to speak: "Norman brothers, I believe we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

Manuel sighed when he heard this: "I hope it won't be on the battlefield." With that, he turned his head and rode away.

The rest of the Ammuxi nobles all stared at Alan coldly, and most of them had hostility flashing in their eyes. However, Alan was not worried, for a big nobleman like them, the strength of the small nobles in those places was not worth mentioning at all.

The golden fleur-de-lis fluttered slowly. Gloria's team slowly moved away from the city of Essis.

Shortly after Gloria's party left, a group of centaurs walked out of the city of Essis.

"Lord Duke, is it really okay to let them go like this? Aren't you afraid that they will come back and take revenge on you?" A middle-aged man in a black priest's uniform walked up to Alan and asked.

Alan nodded slightly and said hello, "Sir Luther, we didn't fight, you must be very disappointed."

Luther hurriedly waved his hand and said with an innocent face: "Lord Duke, you have misunderstood me. Know that the Lord tells us to reduce strife among people and to influence the world with love. ”

"Huh." Alan smiled coldly. "It looks like our cooperation is going to continue."

"Cooperation is better than struggle, isn't it?"

"But working with your church, I'm always worried that if you're not careful, you'll swallow it in one bite. I have seen the domineering of your church. ”

Seeing Allen's cold appearance, Luther did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but said with a smile: "Lord Duke said that he was laughing. You are one of the best friends of the church. I hope that the friendship between our two sides will last forever. ”

"Take care, Sir Sir. Ambrosia is very big, you still need to see more and walk more. ”

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your advice. May the Holy Light shine upon you. ”

After a brief exchange of greetings between Luther and Allen, he left Essis under the protection of a group of Templars.

The people who watched the church leave in a hurry. Alan suddenly exhaled, turned his head, and looked solemnly at the group of people behind him.

On the left is a group of military generals led by Guy. On the right are the cabinet ministers headed by Nono. Looking at this group of conscientious and loyal subordinates, Alan said solemnly:

"Gentlemen, time is running out. It's time for us to act. ”

"Yes! Lord Duke!" Everyone knows very well that there is still an unfinished account between Allen and George VI.

Alan nodded, and suddenly felt a wave of magic around him. Then he turned his head away. The next moment, LeBlanc appeared on Allen's side out of thin air.

"How?" Alan asked.

"The man is gone, how do you know that someone will be ambushing nearby?" LeBlanc asked, staring at Allen.

Alan tugged at the corners of his mouth, turned around and got on his horse neatly.

"Not everyone is brainless. Back to the city!"

Calm was restored outside the city of Essis, and the civilians who had been stopped outside also returned to their companionship.

LeBlanc is still dressed in that hot outfit, which provokes the men who pass by to look at it secretly. However, in the next moment, a wave of power erupted in the center of LeBlan, shaking the people around him.

"That bastard, are you saying I don't have a brain?!!"

Three or five kilometers from the city of Esis, Bashir, Lawrence and Manuel rode to Gloria's carriage. Knowing that they must have come for the business of Ouranos, Gloria ordered to rest in place.

"Your Majesty, on this trip, I didn't expect to fall for Ouranos's trick! I really didn't expect him to be so bold at such a young age!" Bashir spoke indignantly first, his tone full of disgust for Allen.

After Bashir spoke, Lawrence said worriedly: "Now it seems that the climate of Ouranos has become a climate, and it is not so simple to attack him."

Lawrence's words seemed to provoke Bashir's anger, and he immediately replied: "Who sided with him in the first place?" Now I know that raising tigers is a problem!"

"You blame me now? Who would have thought that in just a short period of time, he would be able to do this! If you had seen it earlier, then why didn't you make a move!"

"You !!!"

"That's it!" Gloria interrupted the argument between the two. "Now is not the time for arguments, let's talk about what to do."

After Lawrence and Bashir looked at each other, Bashir first said, "Humph! Although his army is a little stronger, I don't believe that we can't deal with him with the strength of the whole country. He only has a small Essis Collar that can trap him even if he is sleepy!"

"Not bad!" Duke Lawrence said. "We must concentrate our forces on Ouranos in his fledgling, that is, now, and strangle him in the cradle. Otherwise, once he becomes powerful, I am afraid that the status of the nobility will be impacted. ”

Lawrence's words are well-founded. Everyone knows that Allen's speech, once it spreads, will definitely have a tsunami-like impact.

The aristocracy has been the ruling class on the continent of El for thousands of years. The contradictions between the nobles and the commoners and slaves were also extremely complex. As long as someone with a heart makes use of Allen's words, he can immediately set off waves of reaction.

Manuel, however, opposed Bashir and Lawrence's plan.

"No! Do you think Ouranos is so easy to deal with? Since he dared to break with us in front of us, he must have been ready! And you only see the weakness of Ouranos, but have you forgotten the weakness of the kingdom itself?"

"What do you mean, Lord Manuel? Could it be that you are reluctant to have a friendship with Ouranos and plan to commit treason with him!" Bashir scolded harshly.

"Of course not!" Manuel is colorful. "Not only will I not be treasonous, but I will be more loyal than you!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Alright, let Lord Manuel continue." Gloria's opening stopped Bashir's rage, allowing Manuel to continue.

"Your Majesty, my kingdom of Anmuxi has had four enemies since ancient times. One is the Moslian Empire in the north. However, since our two sides have had dozens of major wars and small wars over the centuries, the two sides know the roots. In addition, it has recently been rumored that the struggle between Moslian's eldest prince Jiawen and the second prince Xiuwen is very fierce, and they have no kung fu to fight against us. ”

"The second is the Kingdom of Rollin in the West, but now the Kingdom of Rollin is blocked by Ouranos. And judging from Ouranos' performance, since he doesn't want to make a public turn with us, it is obvious that he has not cooperated with the Rollin Kingdom. Otherwise, we would have gone to war with George VI long ago. ”

"Then the third is the kingdom of Danone to the east. Although the Kingdom of Danone is rich, there are no wars for many years, and it has good relations with our country, so there is no need to worry about it. ”

"But the fourth, the barbarians of the South. This is our heart's content. Especially since Constance returned to Paris, it has quickly gathered hearts and minds in just a few months. With that, Manuel looked at Bashir.

"Lord Bashir, you are also bordering those barbarians, and I don't need to say more about the threat of those barbarians. Before, it was because the barbarians were scattered, so we were able to break them individually. Now that they are reunited, there will be a great war soon!"

Bashir looked at Manuel and moved his lips to retort, but finally nodded silently.

"Especially now that there is a bigger enemy in our midst."

"Duke Manuel, who do you mean?" Lawrence asked, frowning.

"Church!" Manuel said solemnly. "Have you forgotten that not long ago the kingdom officially opened the religious ban? There is also a bishop in our kingdom. ”

The crowd fell silent, and Manuel was right. Ever since Pope Gregor VII deposed King Peter of Dominiz, the Church has become an open aristocratic enemy. Not to mention the fact that the Church stirred things up between the various nations, which disgusted the aristocracy.

While everyone was silent, the silence was broken by the sound of horses' hooves. A fast horse galloped in the direction of Gloria.

The guards on the periphery of the guard hurriedly stepped forward and took the horses down. Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Gloria's cronie, Faisal.

Faisal trotted all the way to Gloria, and reported to Gloria, "Your Majesty, not long after we left. A group of church centaurs left Esis. ”

"What!"

"Ouranos really has collusion with the church!"

Bashir and Lawrence were shocked. However, as if she had expected it, Gloria asked Manuel, "Lord Manuel, what do you think we should do now?"

Manuel pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think the Duke of Ouranos is in a hurry to deal with it now. It also takes time for the barbarians in the south to be organized. I think the church is the first thing we should deal with. Only when we are internally stable will we be able to deal with external threats. ”

"Well, Duke Manuel is right. The affairs of the church should be resolved first. As far as I know, the Church has reached a critical point in its infiltration of various countries. If we don't solve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles. To everyone's surprise, al-Bashir instead stood up for Manuel's idea.

"Anyway, let's take a long-term view of Ouranos. Now the church needs to deal with it the most. Gloria finally said.

Everyone nodded.

The team set off again, and this time, everyone had different thoughts. (To be continued.) )
