While Bishop Harvey was busy with the bright cause of the duchy, the city was in a state of chaos. On the one hand, despite the secrecy measures taken by the Church, rumors of the Bishop's departure from Ontario were still spreading.
The Bright Race is in a state of leaderlessness, people's hearts are unstable, and rumors are constantly generated. There were even rumors spread by some clergy that Bishop Harvey and his accompanying paladins were ambushed and killed by the Night Race, resulting in the Templars being executed outright.
On the other hand, Bishop Harvey's self-initiated attempt to seek the help of the Half Moon Alliance caused displeasure among some of the great nobles. It is said that the day after the bishop's departure, the Grand Duke of Efe ordered the execution of a priest who had blasphemed the royal power at the morning assembly. In fact, this is just a simple signal, and the purpose is to give the Light Race a hint about who is in charge here.
Under the influence of these two fuses, an even greater crisis emerged.
With the exception of a few paladins who went with the bishop to the Half Moon Alliance, the attitude of the clergy with higher status in the duchy towards Bishop Harvey began to change. They believe that it was the bishop's wrong decision that led to a series of setbacks in the Church. If we want to change this situation, we must find a stronger leader.
Then, somehow, the old paladin Herbert became the object of everyone's affection. Despite rumors that Herbert had a delicate relationship with the principality's higher-ups, the need for a strong leader had greatly outweighed this concern, and something had been secretly fermented.
In the council hall of the Duchy of Finnier, the morning meeting had ended, but the nobles were still gathered in the council hall.
The Archduke Efe and several of the councillors went to another room, much to the dismay of the other nobles, for the few who had been invited away were heavyweights, almost half of the Principality of Finnier. After the Grand Duke of Effie received this position from the old duke, he rarely had a secret conversation with so many ministers at one time.
It was a long time before the ministers who had been summoned separately came out. Although revealing confidential matters is a taboo, because it is often only the leaker who is punished, there will still be some good people who want to know some clues through the mouths of these people.
Most of the ministers ignored the inquiry, but one old nobleman, after repeated inquiries, uttered something that resembled a riddle, and then walked away without looking back.
"Let the worldly be profane, and the holy holy."
Although this is easy to understand, it is not easy to understand the meaning. However, some smart people have already sniffed some sensitive smells from these words.
When Duke Barria returned to the mansion, it was almost noon.
After coming out of the council chamber, the second man of the principality, who was very closely related to the Grand Duke of Efe, went to the Marquis de Posado's palace for a long time.
If it wasn't necessary, Duke Barria would definitely not meet with the Duchy Commander alone, and he didn't like to hear any speculation about him in a sensitive position. The force of any rumor that could affect the position of the supreme ruler could be magnified a thousand times over. In front of the suspicious Grand Duke Efe, this once hot-blooded aristocrat had to bow his proud head and disguise himself as a non-thinking machine.
This time, however, the Grand Duke of Efe gave him a task that did not suit his usual style, forcing him to cautiously approach the Marquis of Boshal, who was in charge of the Duchy's most elite army.
When the Duke of Baria entered the mansion, his eldest son, Davidson, had just come out of the inner courtyard. These days, because of the turmoil in the city of Ontario, Davidson, who is the sheriff, seems to be much busier than usual, and rarely has the opportunity to return home.
"Father." Davidson greeted him politely, but not closely.
In the past, the Duke of Baria would have simply responded or asked about the current situation of the Sheriff's Office. But today, the majestic Duke looked at his son and said, "Come and sit in my room?" ”
As a result, Davidson, who had planned to say hello and slip away, had to stay. This time, however, there was more curiosity than fear in his heart, for his father rarely talked to him about anything at this time.
After settling down in the spacious room, Barria, as a duke, did not talk to his son about work first, as other fathers did, but went straight to the point after a short silence.
"The Principality may have to take action against the Templars."
To the surprise of the Duke of Barria, Davidson did not react much to the news. The latter just nodded and asked, "Is it because Bishop Harvey went to seek the aid of the alliance without the consent of the Grand Duke?" ”
Unexpectedly, his father shook his head: "Although Bishop Harvey's actions have made Archduke Efe very angry, but in order not to tear his face with the alliance, he can't be touched for the time being." This time it's because of something else. This morning, the Templars announced that they had stripped Bishop Harvey of his powers and given the supreme leadership of the Templars to the old paladin Herbert. This violated the secret agreement between the Principality and the Templars. ”
Davidson had just learned the news. He asked, "The Duchy wants to negotiate with the Templars?" ”
"It's not a negotiation, it's a war." Duke Baria's face was solemn, "This evening, the Bear Cavalry Regiment will surround the Templar, and all those who resist will be killed on the spot. ”
At this moment, Davidson finally felt the shock from the bottom of his heart. He took a breath, and the chill in his mouth rushed to his mind.
The War Bear Cavalry, the most elite knight of the principality, is known for its great power and mystery. It is said that the members inside are murder masters of different beliefs, professions, and races, including not only the light race that believes in the Holy Light, but also the neutral race with strong energy, and some guys with a darker nature. There are even rumors that there are some Dark Night races in this cavalry regiment that have broken away from the Night camp.
Of course, for the last point, the principality has never recognized it. Because the Half Moon Alliance has extremely strict restrictions on member countries, members who cross the border will be considered rebels.
And this time, the Grand Duke of Efe actually wanted to use this "Death Army" that has always been in the legend and has never been really seen. In Davidson's eyes, it was a bit too much to make such a big battle.
