For a while, the atmosphere in the entire chamber suddenly dropped to freezing point. Everyone looked at Solzhenitsyn in disbelief and was speechless.

Solzhenitsyn's previous demand for the coalition forces to obey Novgorod was amusing enough to their ears, and their arrogant thoughts only made them more disgusted with Novgorod, and this so-called parliamentary leader was no more than that.

And now the Grand Imam he spoke of made them feel even more ridiculous, and they saw sneers on the faces of the generals of the Rus' coalition. The so-called Grand Imam has a title in name only, just like the Kingdom of Rus, how could there have been such a thing as a king in the past two hundred years. Since the fall of the New Roman Empire, the Orthodox Patriarch has ceased to exist, and the Patriarch of the entire Orthodox diocese has always been in isolation. In particular, the nominal religious leader, the Patriarch of Rus' has always been headed by the Grand Patriarch, the Patriarch of Constantinople, and there is no religious leader in Rus' who can hold the scene at all.

Not only the Gentile General Rus below was laughing, but even several parliamentarians below who had always disagreed with Solzhenitsyn couldn't help but sneer.

"Solzhenitsyn, you're joking! Grand Imam or something, where else would there be now? Even ten years ago, it would have been impossible for people to have the leisure time to come to a poor place like ours. Patriarch Iverum said self-deprecatingly that the title of Archpatriarch of Rus' was only a gift to curry favor with the powerful New Roman Empire, and the New Roman Empire did not care about it seriously. Not to mention that the New Roman Empire has long since fallen, and the whereabouts of the Grand Imam of Constantinople have long been unknown, so it is not surprising that he is dead.

However, as soon as Iverumo finished speaking, his face suddenly froze, and his tongue wanted to be knotted, and he was completely speechless, only to see the sound of steady footsteps attracting the attention of everyone at the foot of the council, and the old man in a white robe with a golden scepter in his hand slowly walked down. Like the Holy Church, which belongs to the same sect, the Holy Church also worships the holy white, and as the supreme head of the Orthodox Church, the Grand Imam of Constantinople has the privilege of wearing white robes, which is not the right of all the ecumenical capitals.

And the old man in front of him did not shy away from wearing this holy robe that symbolized absolute authority, what kind of joke was this.

"You ・・・・・・" Patriarch Iverum was completely speechless, he should have reprimanded, this is the holy robe that he did not dare to put on in his life, the great patriarch of Constantinople in the past generations was held by Herod, and after the collapse of the new Roman Empire, Nicaea, Epirus and Trebizond saw continuous attacks, and the scepter symbolizing the power of the church was lost and did not know where, and the position of the grand imam was vacant. The Rus' had been salivating over it, but they knew they didn't have the qualifications to do so. And isn't the old man in front of him holding in his hand exactly the power that symbolizes the supreme authority of the Orthodox Church?

The glorious golden cross made them shudder, this scepter that only the Grand Imam of Constantinople had could never be added, and the people who were completely speechless watched the old man slowly walk down.

"Grand Imam!" Almost everyone knelt down, and compared to the West, the majority of the Rus' were still devout believers, and they still retained their pious teachings, and everyone was baptized at birth. It is ironic that the Holy Church destroyed Constantinople, the heart of the Orthodox Church, with brute force, but what it got was the centrifugal Western world. And the faith of the Orthodox Church is so strong that everyone worships the Grand Imam before him without the slightest suspicion and is full of piety. And Vasily of Tver was also full of piety, but the head of the Kesman regiment had an ugly face.

The high-ranking officials of the Principalities of Tver, Vladimir, and Novgorod all knew that the Grand Imam of Isder was living in seclusion in Rus', although Vasily did not know about this, but Kesman knew that he had been ordered to protect the Grand Imam of Isdel more than a month ago, but he was ambushed by the Teutonic Knights and suffered heavy losses.

"Hehe, I see, the Grand Imam is still safe! Grand Duke Alexander is really a good means. Kesman bowed to the Grand Imam, looked up at Solzhenitsyn in front of him, and said with a sneer. The whereabouts of the Grand Imam of Isder have always been guarded by several major principalities, and according to the agreement, the Grand Imam lives in seclusion in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Vladimir, but Novgorod is a provocation to bring the Grand Imam here without authorization.

"I'm distracted, but if it weren't for Archduke Alexander, this old bone would have been buried somewhere. Coming here is of my own will. However, Grand Imam Isdell said indifferently, leaving Kesman speechless. And turned to the generals in front of him, who were sincerely afraid. Although he was exiled to Rus', the Grand Imam of Constantinople still retained his original authority, and no one questioned him, because this momentum could not be imitated by anyone, and Patriarch Iwilumo, who was also a clergyman, did not have this transcendent feeling of sanctification at all, as if a rich man had met a real nobleman.

Not only the generals of the foreign coalition armies, but also the people of the other noble councils also had incredible eyes in their eyes.

"Your Excellency ・・・・・・the Grand Imam," Solzhenitsyn nodded to Grand Imam Isdel.

Under everyone's attention, Grand Imam Isder glanced in all directions and slowly spoke, and his majestic voice suddenly resounded inside and outside the chamber, making everyone look solemn.

"May the Messiah walk on the earth to save the covenant maker, I, Isdel, Patriarch of New Rome, Patriarch of all Rus, to do the will of Rome. Temporarily stationed in Rus', he declares that the Orthodox Church of all Rus' will fully support Novgorod against the heretical army of the hypocrites, and that all those who are baptized by Rus' must do their utmost to assist Novgorod, and that Novgorod will not retreat without permission, and if not, I, Isdel, will be excommunicated from the Church, so that he will be deprived of his name and will be deprived of his soul, and his soul will return to purgatory without a burial place. And I, Isdir, swear that if I have any selfish intentions, I will be rejected by the true God, and I will be lost in time, and there will be no place for heaven, purgatory, or earth. ”

The Grand Imam of Isder made the oath calmly and solemnly, and the most serious oath was taken, whether it was Novgorod or the other principalities of Rus' or himself, and everyone fell to their knees without daring to defend themselves, waiting for the end of the Grand Imam's declaration.
