Chapter 80: Unification of the Empire (Part II)
The ruler of the Kurtilas Islands, who has never been king, and the Grand Lord of Daerin Prodmore, who was knighted as Duke of the Ancient Araso Empire, stands on the watchtower at the top of the castle.
Behind him was a group of koopher, silent magnates of the Kurtilas Islands, bowed their heads.
The group of archipelago carnivores who were still confident in their own power and tried to use their arms as a chariot did not really come to their senses until they saw the arrival of the Holy Arathor Empire's mission with their own eyes.
Not to mention the giant airship in the sky for the time being, just carrying the envoys of the Fish-Man Race appeared, and the huge and incomparable sea beast was enough to destroy the entire sea power of the Kurtilas Islands!
"My vassals, do anyone still have the courage to test the power of the Empire?"
With a hint of mockery, Duke Dalin turned to look at the emperors of the archipelago, the lords who had defied his orders in the past.
As the ruler of an overseas archipelago country far from the continental rivalry, His Excellency the Duke is not as indifferent to the forms on the mainland as his ancestors were, and only wants to do his own business and play a policy of isolation.
On the contrary, this strong, black-haired captain is an excellent and enlightened ruler who actively follows the movements of the mainland.
The fleet of Kul Tiras, led by Daelin, had made a very active contribution to the Horde invasion; When Emperor Karen was crowned on the throne, he sent an envoy to the Imperial City of Arathas to experience the majesty of the empire that protected the blood of the dragon.
"Great Lord, it's short-sighted."
After a long silence, a nobleman who was the happiest at the beginning finally stood up with a face full of remorse and said in a low voice.
The area of the Kurtilas Islands in the real world is naturally not as large as it was in the Messianic previous life game, it is composed of hundreds of islands of different sizes, with a total land area of about 2 million square kilometers, even if it is placed on the earth in the Messiah's previous life, it is definitely not a small country.
Naturally, in such a large territory, there are naturally all kinds of birds, in addition to the faction of the duke's cronies who actively participate in maritime commerce, there are naturally some traditional conservative landlords and nobles who live by exploiting the people on the mainland.
The short, stocky nobleman glanced back at his colleagues, who had no one to refute his words, and finally spoke.
"We will follow your decision and return to the Empire!"
These old-fashioned people who are not well-informed, because they will lose their power when they return to the empire, are the main forces who are clamoring not to welcome the empire's envoys, but with the appearance of those giant airships in the harbor in front of them, and the sea giants of the fleet of Wanke Kurtiras, these native buns in the countryside finally woke up and expressed their agreement with Dai Lin's decision.
"In that case, ladies and gentlemen, please come with me to greet the envoys of the Empire!"
"After all, we are different from those kingdoms on the mainland."
"After all, we didn't betray the Araso Empire!"
The Duke glanced indifferently at these dirt buns, which were completely ignored by him, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the exit of the watchtower.
After pacifying the aliens, he was to immediately have his servants prepare a feast that was even greater than planned to make up for the mistake of not being welcomed.
The frustrated nobles behind him, when they heard the duke's last words, you look at me, I look at you, and there is a hint of joy in their eyes······
——————————————————————
When the last human kingdom, the Grand Lord of the Kurtilas Islands, Darin, declared his submission to Emperor Karen, after a thousand years of turmoil and separation, humanity was once again united.
And because of the plague of the undead in the alliance area, after the respective monarchs agreed to the conditions of the imperial envoys, every once in a while, there were powerful people from the six countries of the alliance who converted to the cross church and came to worship in the city where the holy land of Yahweh was located.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Loud sound of leather boots stomping on the ground rang out outside the city.
"Drip, drip, drip!"
The sound of a loud trumpet even drowned out the prayers in the city of Mercia.
"What happened?"
"It's the sound of the army moving!"
"Is it possible that someone has come to attack the city of Mercia, who is so bold?"
Groups of nobles who had just come from the six countries of the alliance asked each other with frightened expressions.
"What's the panic? Silence, haven't you been informed from the Imperial Spirit Network that today is the day of the assembly of the Imperial Holy Legion? ”
Next to this group of panicked old alliance nobles, a few skilled old drivers who were not coming to Mercia City for the first time at first glance, and were also former alliance magnates, loudly scolded the surrounding villagers.
"Take out your identity crystal card and stick it on your eyebrows to take a good look, this is the front page headline of the 'Empire Current Affairs' section, okay!"
One month ago, he was still a traditional and conservative alliance nobleman, but now his voice has begun to have a hint of arrogance and superiority unique to the empire.
Dragged to the highest, the greatest, the supreme, the Holy Trinity God Yahweh's Hongfu, these people who were only medieval feudal lords in the past, suddenly from the feudal era of correspondence and letters, crossed several levels, directly into the centralized spiritual Internet era, in a short period of time is indeed a little unaccustomed.
At this time, after hearing the reminder of the enthusiastic old drivers around them, these old nobles of the earth buns hurriedly took out the upgraded citizen crystal cards after returning to the empire, pasted them to the center of their eyebrows, and silently recited the network entry password of "Divine Yawei is above, long live the emperor", and their consciousness quickly immersed themselves in it, and browsed the information at the top of the imperial spiritual network, and then relaxed one by one.
The Holy Araso Empire, in order to completely cleanse the filth from the human territory of the alliance that swore to return to the empire, has decided to launch the "Holy Crusade Northern Expedition Plan", through the function of the great Gate of Light directly connected to the open space coordinate teleportation array in the territory of the alliance, and send a large army to dispatch the nest, in order to completely solve the flood of the plague of the undead in a short time.
"Ignore them, let's go, fellow Catholics, let's go outside the city to see the posture of the Imperial GIs!"
Many of the old drivers who had come to worship saw that their fellow villagers had regained their calm, and they called their friends together and walked towards the outside of the city of Mercia.
Their actions suddenly made this once peaceful and solemn Holy Light Cross Religious Holy Land seem to be a lot more noisy temporarily······
The majestic and tall Gate of Light, with an unparalleled sense of sacredness, towers outside the city of Holy Messiah.
Nearly 100,000 Heavenly Horse cavalry of the Holy Arathas Empire, dressed in blue light armor uniforms, armed with shining steel knives or spears, heroic and murderous, with a wing of thousands of people lined up in the air in a huge phalanx, from a distance, covering a large area of the sky.
Immediately after that, more than 1.5 million infantry of the Holy Legion, marching forward with their bayonet muskets, moved forward with their glittering imperial crusade flags, obeying the officers' orders or stopping, turning, or changing formations, and finally formed an incomparably neat phalanx of 10,000 infantry in the large square below the Gate of Light.
Then, a cannon cannon with a glittering barrel and a dense rune of holy light engraved on the body of the cannon appeared at the rear of the queue surrounded by artillery guards.
A team of more than 300,000 light and heavy cavalry, dressed in silver cross bright armor, under the leadership of an imperial paladin, stands at the rear of the formation, their presence will be used as a mobile force, and will not be immediately put into the front line after the start of the battle, but will always stay not far from the Gate of Light, ready to pass through the Gate of Light at any time to directly support friendly forces in danger.
Relying on the high degree of organization and discipline of the Imperial Spirit Network, as well as the fast teleportation array network that is more popular than the alliance and spreads throughout the entire empire, it didn't take much time for such a huge army to line up, and everyone stood in the position where they should be in a hundred times more spirit. Waiting for the appearance of the supreme commander of the Holy Alaso Empire in this war, Emperor Karen.
The ruler of the Holy Empire did not keep the most valiant warriors of the Empire waiting for long, and only a few minutes after the queue was standing, Emperor Karen Anduin appeared under the specially reserved platform in front of the Gate of Light after a burst of golden light peculiar to holy power.
At this time, on the high platform, the cardinal, who was holding a Yahweh Bible, led the clergy who were about to join the army to fight against evil, and was half-kneeling on the ground to celebrate the last mass before the expedition.
Seeing Karen's arrival, the powerful and glorious priest of the Church, second only to the Pope, stood up from Mass, nodded to the Emperor, and turned his body to the top of the platform, facing all the armies of the Holy Empire.
"After a thousand years, the reunification of the human empire is the process of history, and it is the irresistible trend of those evil spirits."
At this time, Cullen was heroic, wearing the armor of a royal knight engraved with the Holy Cross, and suddenly pulled out the holy sword behind his back, and the sharp blade flashed with incomparably brilliant light under the light of the platinum trial holy flame that burned up on his body!
"God has given it to me, and who dares to blaspheme!"
His solemn voice, giving the order for the Holy Legion to advance, resounded throughout the entire perimeter of the Gate of Light.
"Forward, for the unity of mankind, for the sake of Divine Yahweh!"
