Chapter 193: Changing Heavens
Ra declared war on Tyreโ
At first, when people heard the news, they almost thought that the God of Contracts was crazy.
The gap between Ra and Tyre is as great as that of a warrior and a general. Not to mention that Bansa was originally Tyre's home turf, and there was a strong reinforcement from Sivir in the back. If it had been during the reign of Jupiter IV, before the news spread, Ra's army would have been directly crippled by the Templar Order of Tyre.
But when you think about it, it seems that this timing was indeed carefully considered.
First of all, a significant number of the Templars of Tyre were sent out, and are still trapped in Fararu and have not returned. After receiving this news, several regiment commanders were concerned about the safety of their colleagues and led the regiment to rush out.
Because Jupiter IV is missing, and Cyra, who is in charge of the Ring of Killing, is imprisoned, it can be said that no one can control this group of knights. Even the other cardinals, at most, let the regimental commanders be a little polite, and have no right to order them.
Today's Bansar, Tyre's strength is in an unprecedented state of emptiness.
However, the new pope of Tyre was still overturned because of the Ring Rite, and there was no way to lead the cardinal to make any preparations for it.
In the eyes of some, even without the Annunciation is useless. The prestige of the new pope was certainly not as high as that of the predecessor, Jupiter IV. Only after Roland slowly changed the blood of the entire cardinal and put his own people in to replace those dishonest guys, could it be said that he really enjoyed the rights of the Pope.
The powers of the Holy See are perfectly divided between the cardinals, and the Pope is also a mortal, and he cannot do everything personally. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be similar to return to the gods in advance.
In the world of Faenns. The power of the Pope is exercised through the binding of the cardinals.
After all, the Pope has the power to revolutionize the church, and he can make any bishop lose all of his charisms at once - but here's the problem. He wants domination, unity, not destruction and power.
Too much hard-line rule is bound to make believers dissatisfied. Even with them, they will begin to doubt the gods. Therefore, in any Holy See, the Pope cannot use his prerogatives to enforce the implementation of every decree.
As a pope, one of the most important things is to have charisma. A pope who cannot be worshiped by the faithful is unqualified, and his name should be immediately made aware of its taboo when it is mentioned.
To lose the Pope is to lose the papacy, like the lamb of a shepherd, to lose direction and discipline.
Any cardinal in the College of Cardinals has to make trouble. Nothing can be done. Without the Pope's management and decision-making, what kind of mess can a dozen guys with different powers and fields make once they quarrel, just thinking about it is terrifying.
The Ring Salute will not end in six days. During these six days, the cardinals could not even leave the Dome Cathedral, and their retinue could not have been granted access to the Dome Cathedral.
This is the perfect time.
In other words, for a whole week, the Tyre sect was completely uncommanded and in disarray. If the mercenaries of the God of Contracts use it skillfully, it is still possible to occupy all the cities outside the Holy City in a week's time. If only they could take all the parts except the Dome Cathedral. Even if the Pope is finally elected, it will not help.
It doesn't matter if you kill believers, you can force them to convert, or even force them not to pray. A god without followers is fragile. With the support of only a dozen bishops, even the Pope directly descending on the gods himself did not make much difference.
But if that's all there is to it. People also don't think much of the God of Contracts. After all, Tyre's background is there, and with the assistance of the notoriously warlike Sivir, it is no problem to survive only five or six days.
At this time, however, there were two things that shocked people's jaws - the mad dog queen of Bansar announced the revocation of the special status of the two sects of Tyre and Xavier in the country. Instead, the Lord of Violence, Al Sachs, was established as the state religion. and to abolish the right of priests of all ranks to be exempt from military service.
In other words, official Bansar has the power to forcibly conscript priests of any rank, even the Pope, in theory. If you don't agree, it is undoubtedly treason. will be directly punished with capital punishment.
This is completely blasphemous.
But what is even more incomprehensible is that Sivir has remained neutral in this incident. The entry into force of this law was tacitly acquiesced. and did not assist Tyre in resisting Ra's attack.
Yes, that's right - she maintained her neutrality!
You know, Tyre is her real father!
But the more people who know, understand why she refuses to rescue Tyre.
It can only be said that it is the problem that was hidden in the previous canonization event that has been re-exposed.
Admittedly, Jupiter IV was extremely prestigious, but he was only a mortal after all.
A mere mortal would dare to threaten the gods.
From that point on, Joshvir realized that the threat of Tyre had now swelled to the point where it was impossible to ignore.
It's about the last chance. If he doesn't fight back now, I'm afraid that Sivir will be completely reduced to a subordinate of Tyre.
Moreover, in fact, even if Queen Bansa revoked Sivir's status as the state religion, the final impact was not very large.
Sivir's apologists are themselves a battlefield profession. Her power is to fight and war, and in Bansa, a country that is quite fanatical about war, her status will definitely not decline much.
Check it out - the God of Contract with mercenaries, the Lord of Violence with his humanoid city-busting machines, and the Goddess of War born to be a battlefield environment, each of them is better suited to this increasingly manic nation than Tyre.
The apologists of Sivir did not engage in any conflict with the believers of the God of Covenant. As the mercenaries gathered to persecute Tyre's priests, they remained silent from top to bottom; When the priest of Tyre called for help, they remained silent.
Finally, the followers of Tyre were in utter despair.
Overnight, their status plummeted to the bottom.
The Bansar army sent men to hunt them down, smashing their temples, robbing them of their gold ornaments, pinning their devotees to the ground, and robbing them of their money and jewelry. Priests and priests were pulled out of the crowd by the mercenaries who followed them, and their heads were smashed.
On the first day alone, a quarter of Bansar's churches fell. The fallen church was divided between the Lord of Violence and the God of Contract, and was guarded by the military himself.
By the time the Pope began to rush to flatter the king, his authority was gone.
However, at this time, a group of people in the east of Bansar silently crossed the border line and were warmly received by the cities near the border.
"Excuse me, are you suing the crows?"
A little boy looked up at Kakarit with anticipation.
His silver-gray pupils shimmered brightly. (To be continued.) )
