Chapter 266: Erion and the Past
The room fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke, all pondering what Miriya meant.
If neither of the two forces on the opposite continent can be trusted, then the situation will be even worse, after all, even in the mind of Archbishop Gamori, there is actually the idea of making contact with another country at a later time.
And they were still speculating about what made Miria so stubborn, and decided that it was not appropriate to give her a reason for such a guess.
"Priest Vincent, how much information is there about the countries that are hostile to the Palatinate Empire?" It was Flora's inquiry that broke the silence.
"Ah, that country is actually very strange, or I still have some doubts about whether it can be called a country." Priest Vincent came back to his senses and quickly retrieved a few books from the pile of papers on the table.
He pointed to a few of them and said slowly: "The Eriens Union, formerly the three kingdoms that survived the long war and also had a deep hatred and entanglement of interests for the Palatinate Empire, later absorbed the remnants of the defeated nineteen kingdoms one after another, and finally became the only opponent of the Palatinate Empire, which became strong by conquering, plundering, and co-opting the surrounding countries. ”
"But the internal political environment of the Eriens Union was too complicated, and the state orders came from a place called a 'parliament', and there was no king, and the members of the 'parliament' included the representatives of the interests of all parties. What's even more strange is that a hundred years ago, the Erion Union still had a lot of autonomy rights in each town, and the mayors of the towns were only held by the higher nobles, just like fiefs, and then after a revolution about a hundred years ago, the local rights were taken back unifiedly, and the 'council' was able to become the absolute center of the entire union. ”
"With such a complex interior, how can they compete with the Palatinate Empire? Rely on the Last of the Dragons? Lavana guessed with her chin propped up.
Unexpectedly, Priest Vincent nodded and confirmed: "In the confrontation between the empire and the union formed a hundred years ago, the united side was actually at a disadvantage, but in a certain battle, the nobles of several southerner towns in the union brought two huge monsters to the battlefield without authorization...... They are the Etharaqam clan known as the Dragon's End. ”
"The two Dragons of the Last Descendants were enough to turn that battle into a massacre in the full sense of the word, and the soldiers of the empire could not resist at all, and in the end, the legion of tens of thousands of soldiers broke and fled for dozens of miles, and the corpses were almost covered all the way, and the casualties were uncountable."
While the pursuing combined soldiers were excited, they also had fear of the two monsters in their hearts, but most of the nobles who were cheering and rejoicing on the side were only excited, and even asked to follow suit. Soon, the Errynes Union won over the Dragon's Last Descendants. ”
"The Erion Alliance quickly broke back the disadvantage on the battlefield, and even directly counterattacked deep into the territory of the Palatinate Empire, and dozens of Dragon's Last Descendants were rushed to various battlefields, but in the face of the Imperial Army after the regroup, the Dragon's Last Descendants also had individual death records."
"In fact, the upper echelons of the empire know very well that no matter how tenacious their army is, it will not be possible to defeat the inhuman monsters, and their supreme ruler is even ready to flee west, but the turning point of the empire will soon appear."
"Is it a half-human, half-demon like 'us'?" Galadia asked in a low voice.
Priest Vincent shook his head, "Not yet. While the front was soaring, there was a great upheaval in the rear of the Erryens coalition, which they called the 'revolution'. ”
"What do you mean?"
As expected, the big swords didn't know the meaning of the word, including Annabelle, who was also puzzled, and Li Fang was only a little curious.
"The written record probably means that a group of people want to change something that they think is out of place." Priest Vincent muttered obscurely, looking reluctant to explain.
"In short, for a period of time after this, the 'brain' of the Erynes alliance was almost paralyzed, and the army on the front line even received an order to stop the attack, and when this chaotic period ended, and the rights of the town nobles were unified into the council, the army of the Eriens coalition has sent back an extremely shocking report, and the army of the Palatinate Empire has appeared in the super soldiers who can become awakened and fight against the end of the dragon......"
"Regarding the turmoil, many people in the United believe that the spies of the empire started it, but in this book, it is actually recorded that the empire only played a role in fueling the troubles, and the specific reasons are not written." Priest Vincent closed the paper regretfully and looked up at Miria and the others.
"I haven't seen some of the information, but the general content is the same as what I know and speculate." Miria said solemnly, "In this way, the battlefield between the Empire and the United will return to an evenly matched battle, and it makes sense that the Empire will send an organization to conduct a controllable experiment with the Awoken." ”
"Miriya, Li Fang, do you still insist on destroying the information now?" Archbishop Gamori asked, "You should know that even if this place is destroyed, the Palatinate Empire will still be able to continue to make greatswords." ”
He is eloquent, as if to imply that he does not see these sources as more of a document than Priest Vincent.
"......" Miriya was silent, although she did not want the surgical record of the warrior to continue, but it was undeniable that this was the most valuable and deterrent "weapon" in the hands of the people on this continent.
"I've changed my mind," Li Fang suddenly said and looked at Archbishop Gamori without flinching, "I agree to keep the records of the experiment of making the great sword, but I hope that this information can be handed over to Miriya and the others for safekeeping, at least it is safest for them to protect it." ”
Archbishop Gamori looked at Li Fang again, this young man's speech seemed to have infinite confidence, always mediating between the church and the great swordsmen, very assertive and able to compromise. Although he only has the status of a full-fledged soldier, the church really needs someone like him who can have deep contact with the greatswords as a bridge of communication...... And he also has the ability to heal others.
The Archbishop's mind was racing, and considering his old and sickly body, the demons and the Awakened, and the people of the Southern Abyss, he finally made a choice without regret.
"I agree with you, too." Archbishop Gamori spoke in a calm tone.
Miria, who pondered the trade-offs, also finally made a decision.
"Yes."
The smile on Priest Vincent's face widened, and he was very happy to see it.
"That's fine, Miria, what can you do to solve the problems of the South right now?" He asked.
