107, Southern Raiders
With four more senators and a merchant minister, Adam looked at the whole of Celtic to make some arrangements. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although both the Church of the Dawn and the Silver Tower's gold professionals on the Celts were wiped out in a great battle, and even Gavin's Divine Descent could not save the day, Adam knew that the Church of the Dawn would not give up easily. The Lord of the Dawn had long since taken a fancy to Celtic, and if it weren't for the fact that Ito, the god of the sea, signed an agreement with the Lord of the Dawn that the Church of the Dawn could not directly send gold-rank clergy to Celt, the Federation of Seven Cities and the Council of Nobles would have become Frans' overseas territory by now.
So in order to completely put the whole of Celt under his name, Adam and the Church of the Dawn must have a crucial battle, but before that, there is another very important thing in front of Adam, taking over the Council of Nobles and digesting the fruits of the battle. The Templars have already started this work, but they are more likely to take over the territory, and more of the management requires the cooperation of the Council of Nobles. Of course, with the strong intimidation of two legends and digital gold, Adam believes that there are not many people in the South who are capable of fighting the general trend of the merger of the North and the South and the unification of the Celts.
"Meijie, the takeover of the southern region still needs the cooperation of the four of you. I hope that within a month, the southern cities will complete the institutional change. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, we will complete the task." Major assured Adam. This was their first task after entering the Senate, and it was to be done beautifully no matter what.
He served as the president of the noble council for twenty years, although he could not fully control the noble council because of the contradictions between the three forces of the traditional aristocracy, the emerging aristocracy and the Church of Dawn, but after the strong intervention and domineering rule of the Church of Dawn, it is estimated that the emerging aristocratic forces are very happy to see a powerful political entity born in Celtic, even if the founder is not them, but as part of the griffon principality. Of course, at that time, the name should probably be the griffon kingdom.
In fact, whether it is a new aristocracy or a traditional aristocracy, when these two forces face the strong arrival of the Dawn Church in the aristocratic council, except for a few who strongly oppose the rule of the Dawn Church like Major and others, the others bow their heads very quickly, although they will not immediately fall into the arms of the Lord of Dawn, but at least compromise. Therefore, Major is very confident that when facing the two legends of the Duchy of Griffon, the digital gold, and a mysterious Church of the Sun God, they will still immediately make the most correct choice, after all, compromise and observance are one of the survival rules of the nobles.
As for the old stubborns who are old and insist that the Southern Noble Council is Celtic orthodoxy and are unwilling to join the Duchy of Griffin, to be honest, Major has been unhappy with them for a long time, and it is better to take this opportunity to teach them a good lesson than to let them wait until they have accumulated enough capital to jump out and make trouble. Major knew very well that what Adam needed was a stable southern region and would never make any compromises. At the meeting of the Seven Cities that day, even Levitt said that he would kill him, not to mention those stubborn traditional nobles whose highest strength was only silver. Either obediently become a member of the Duchy of Griffon, or use the mantis arm as a car, these are the two paths in front of them now.
If these diehards still have a choice, the bishops and priests of the Dawn Church have no choice at all. In the process of taking over the Council of Nobles, all the bishops and priests of the Church of Dawn were killed, which was Major Majie's tentative strategy. He didn't find it cruel at all, and as bloody as it sounded, the thought became even more firm when his eyes swept to the Sun Cross on the badge in his hand. Jokes aside, the Church of the Dawn had just fought a legendary battle with the Duchy of Griffons led by Adam, and the Golden Professionals who had come to Celtic were all wiped out, and there was no room for any relaxation between the two. Taking a step back, even if Adam graciously decided not to exterminate the clergy of the Church of Dawn in the South, which is very rare in church-to-church battles, it was his duty as the patriarch of the Duchy of Griffons to get the attitude right.
From today onwards, he is a member of the Senate of the Duchy of Griffons, and he must protect the interests of the Duchy of Griffons at all times. Although most of the bishops and priests of the Church of the Dawn that still exist in the South are Celts, who told them to believe in the Lord of the Dawn? Major lowered his head slightly, putting away this trace of compassion.
"Sir, there is one more question." Major saw Arras, the First Consul of the Duchy of Griffons, turn to Adam and say that he had noticed that the other party was not addressed to him, "The believers of the Church of the Dawn in the Southern Region are a problem. ”
Major was stunned, he almost forgot about the question. Although the Church of the Dawn could not directly send the clergy of the Golden Rank to Celtic, the Bishops and Knights of the Silver Rank had not been left behind for ninety years. It is not for nothing that the Church of the Dawn can fight against the traditional and emerging nobles in the Council of Nobles. Priests, bishops, fallen councillors who believe in the Lord of the Dawn, and devout believers are their capital.
When it came to the treatment of priests, bishops, and other clergy of the Dawn Church, Major decided without hesitation to put them all to death, but the believers ...... He hesitated rarely.
The followers of the Lord of the Dawn in Celtic were divided into three categories, the first of which were the most devout clergy, such as priests, bishops, and knights; The second category is the higher status figures, who are representative of certain members of the noble council; The third category is the most numerous, mostly civilians, and basically incapable of fighting. But that's exactly why Major hesitated, civilians without strength.
Not only Major, but the other three who had just become veterans also pricked up their ears and waited for Adam's answer. However, it was Arras, the First Consul, who answered the question, and he was asking himself questions.
"Sir, the power of faith is too strong, let alone the belief in the Lord of the Dawn." Although these civilians are not capable of fighting, they are a destabilizing factor for the entire Duchy of Griffon. God knows what ordinary people who are crazy about their beliefs will do. Arras has long been no longer a black iron adventurer who is running for a living, and the identity and status of the first consul and his growing strength have broadened his horizons, and his perspective and thinking about problems have become more comprehensive and rigorous.
These believers of the Lord of the Dawn cannot stay! In his eyes, they were first and foremost followers of the Lord of the Dawn, and then civilians of the southern Celtic region, and the identity of the people of the Duchy of Griffons was still up for debate.
"If I could, I would suggest that the Church of the Dawn be cleansed as well."
Andrew and Isabella did not react at all and were not at all surprised by Arras's proposal. The former, as a paladin of the Templars, prioritized Adam in everything, and the heretics were not in his consideration. Taught by the Golden Archmage Vesper since she was a child, and with the knowledge and experience contained in the divinity of Mother Earth Goddess, Isabella is not surprised by this kind of inter-church battle, which is only one of the cruel sides of the church conflict.
"Your Excellency First Consul, wouldn't it be too hasty to clear them all?" Originally, Robin wanted to talk about brutality, but when he realized that he was also talking about the Grand Duke of Griffon, he quickly changed it to sloppy.
"Robin, you're so kind." Refuting Robin was another patriarch, Justin, the former lord of Lille, "This group of people who believe in the Lord of the Dawn is the foundation of the Church of the Dawn in Celtic, and they must not be let go!" ”
"I agree with the First Consul that the Celts will never allow the followers of the Lord of Dawn to continue to exist. All we need is a kingdom, a leader, a god, and a faith! Bruno, the lord of Munle, said.
Considering their southern origins, the four of Major did not participate in the discussion after Arras threw this thorny issue up, but simply quietly watched the arguments of the First Consul of the Duchy of Griffon and the other six senators.
If there had been such a disagreement in the past, and neither of them could convince the other, Arras and the Senate would normally vote, but today there were Adam, Andrew, and Isabella sitting above them, and they looked at each other and decided to listen to Adam's opinion.
"Major, you used to be the Speaker of the Noble Council, and you know the Church of the Dawn best about the situation in Celtic, what do you think should be done?" Unexpectedly, Adam threw the question directly at Major.
Major felt the eyes of everyone in the hall turn to him, including the legendary Andrew and Grand Duchess Isabella. Even the years of Speaker did not make Major much easier under the gaze of a legend and two gold. This must have been a test for him by the Grand Duke of Griffon, his devotion to the Duchy of Griffons and his attitude towards the Church of the Dawn. In less than a second, several thoughts spun through Major's mind, analyzing Adam's intention for him to answer the question. Then he heard his own mechanically dry voice: "Your Excellency, I think the proposal of the First Consul is very reasonable, these believers are the foundation of the Church of Dawn and the source of turmoil. ”
Major constantly stresses the dangers and instability of the Lord of the Dawn, and it is true that the efforts of the Church of the Dawn in Celtic over the years have not been fruitless. He swallowed and said the second half of the sentence.
"But if the followers of the Lord of the Dawn are willing to renounce their faith, perhaps they may be given an opportunity to show your kindness and measure, Your Excellency."
Arras looked at this colleague who had just become a veteran today, and raised his eyebrows, he thought that he had thought well enough, but he didn't expect this stubble. At this point, Major, the former president of the Noble Council, did indeed do a better job than him.
Adam nodded slowly: "Very good, just do as you say." "The first time he set foot on the land of the Frans on the land of Euple, Adam complained about the harsh rule of the Church of the Dawn in France, and now he has a tendency to repeat this path and exterminate the infidels. (To be continued.) )
