Remember https://., "Isn't it enough to work so hard?"

"Because the whole world is already filthy, don't think about anything else, let's start preparing the ark. ”

On the side of Valentine's Fortress, deep in the pyramid-like building, the light curtain dispersed, and the two cardinals of the Holy See of Order whispered solemnly.

Baudouin looked very indifferent: "Since there is a change of eras, why can't there be a second dark age?"

Brintor frowned deeply: "What we have to do is not only the Ark Project, but the Dawning Empire must also be maintained, otherwise we will not be able to provide our lord with resources for the final stage, and we will not be able to ......"

Baudouin waved his hand and said, "As long as you hold on to the three northern kingdoms, you can carry out the Ark plan." If the empire still exists, it will inevitably be dissatisfied with the situation that the three northern countries are out of control, or even the entire empire is sending resources to them, and it will drag down the plan. ”

Brynto was stunned: "Don't want the empire?

"From the very beginning, the Empire of Dawn was a freak," Baudouin said in words that would never have been possible in the past: "How did this empire come about? It was Her Majesty Theresia who tried in vain to realize that through the unity of man and God, mortals could abandon the church and everyone face the gods directly!"

"My lord just thinks that this empire has a lot of benefits in pooling resources, so it has been maintained to this day. ”

"Now the situation has changed, and our Lord's last attempt to save mortals has failed. Mortals are hopeless, and the whole world will start over. What's so strange about letting this empire annihilate one step ahead of this goal?"

Brynto asked in disbelief, "Without the Empire, what will we use to gather resources and build the Ark?"

Baudouin laughed and said, "Without the Empire, those nobles, magicians, and other forces that are ready to move will no longer have the basis to gather strength and rebel against the Holy See of Order. ”

Brinto choked, and Baudouin continued: "On the contrary, let this empire disappear, let the nobles of the old kingdom fight for their inheritance, let the greedy magicians fight for the new state, and we, the Holy See, will naturally be able to withdraw from the matter and focus on the cause dedicated to our lord." ”

Brinto said disdainfully: "Your idea is indeed reasonable, but it is too naïve!"

"Red United have won again on the main plane, and they will still be faltered like they did four years ago?"

"Without the Dawning Empire, East Fein will inevitably fall into chaos, and they will sit idly by?"

"Don't forget, Her Majesty Theresia's sister Catherine is also qualified to inherit the empire, as long as she comes forward, the empire we have lost will quickly reappear in her hands!"

"Not to mention the rumors...... No, we have already seen just now, that witch named Leia is the rebirth of Her Majesty Theresia!"

"Think of how much impact she will have on my lord's faith, on the Holy See, and on our plans?"

Baudouin's cheeks twitched a few times, and he looked away and said, "Just hurry up and solve the problem before the plan is completed, with such an empire, the Holy See can do anything." ”

Brinto continued to fight back: "Do you think that just one Holy Maiden Sacrifice can solve all the resources that my lord still needs? You also received the oracle just now, and that is not a small amount. ”

Baudouin's tone softened: "What you said also has some truth, it seems that I don't know enough about the Empire, after all, it's not like you are personally taking care of the affairs of the Empire." ”

"In that case, we have to divide the work. I'm in charge of the Ark Project, and you're going to ensure the Holy See's firm control over the Empire, not to maintain the Empire's existence, but to ...... You know. ”

Brynto also chuckled: "This is what you want, you didn't want me to interfere in the Ark project in the first place, so you advocated abandoning the empire?"

Baudouin looked back at him calmly: "You are willing to abandon the empire, I can give way." ”

Brinto was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take charge of the affairs of the Empire, but you have to sort out your subordinates, so as not to make trouble at this time." The Holy See's demands must not hinder my control over the Empire, otherwise I will not be able to restrain my subordinates. ”

Baudouin's response was-for-tat: "I promise that with the exception of the Three Northern Powers, the resources mobilized from the rest of the empire will be limited to what is needed for the Ark Project. You also have to make sure that you can rely on the Empire to solve the resources of our lord to repair Heavenly Mountain. ”

He sank his face and emphasized: "In addition, some people have not seen their status clearly, and I am sure that they will make trouble at this critical moment. Since you're in charge of the Empire, I hope to see the results soon. ”

Brinto nodded: "Of course......"

..................

On the ground floor of the Divine Emperor Castle, in the small chamber of the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Emperor Jon Dawn looked pale, and looked at the Holy Maiden of Order and the chief of the inner court guard with hopeful eyes, and Offrin, who was also a teacher and mother to him: "Does Your Majesty have a response?"

Not only the emperor, but also the prime minister, Grand Duke Tangus, and several important ministers of the empire, their eyes were also focused on Offrin. Of all the clergy of order, only this holy woman was loyal to the emperor and the empire and was on their side.

"Your Majesty did issue an oracle, but I ...... I didn't feel it very clearly......"

Overlyn's forehead was covered with sweat, she and the monarchs had been watching the battle in the light curtain just now, and when the golden giant hand of the goddess of order reached down, it was extremely excited.

When the newborn Lady Moon appeared and shattered the golden hand, the hall fell silent, and her heart seemed to have fallen into the abyss.

It took the emperor a long time to restrain the shock in her heart and have the strength to speak, but she didn't dare to tell the truth.

"I can only feel that His Majesty is very ...... to us"

It would also be doubtful not to say it at all, and she decided to tell part of the truth: "Disappointment." ”

The Emperor, Prime Minister, and Ministers looked ashamed, and then heavy, until they were terrified.

Her Majesty the Goddess has disappointed in them, and where is the future of this empire?

Overlyn hastened to explain: "Not disappointed in our empire, but disappointed in all mortals. ”

"The oracle said that Your Majesty will focus on the repair of the Heavenly Mountain, and the affairs of the main plane will be ...... Shape up or ship out. ”

Grand Duke Tangus asked, "Who are we referring to?"

Offreyen shook her head in frustration: "It's just that this part is not clear, I don't know if Your Majesty is talking about mortals, or the Empire." ”

Jon's hand clenched the throne gauntlet tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged out, "So what are we going to do?"

Offlyn sighed secretly, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Your Majesty, this is something you should decide, what do you think?"

The Prime Minister and the ministers shook their heads slightly, exchanging glances with each other, thinking hard about their next move, and the future of the entire empire.

No one expected the puppet emperor to say anything worthwhile, and the exploits of Jon Dawn had only kept the throne of the empire from being empty. And because his dependence on Offlyn is undisguised, the side effects even outweigh his merits.

Fortunately, not many people cared too much about this emperor, and his sense of existence was even weaker than that of another emperor.

Seeing Jon bow his head, Offlin's sigh deepened, sure enough, Jon is still too young, even Her Majesty the Goddess is going to give up on mortals, how can he bring hope.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and just as the Prime Minister was about to talk about the defensive battle that he would inevitably face, the Emperor suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were full of determination and confidence.

"We have indeed disappointed Her Majesty the Goddess, because we always try to rely on Your Majesty, and always think that our strength can only come from Your Majesty's gifts!"

"We didn't realize that our war with Lady Crimson and that Richie Prell was our own destiny!"

"We should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the people of the empire and let them fight for themselves!"

"They should guard their faith!"

"They should protect their fields, their forests, their homes, their castles, their loved ones, and their legacy!"

"The Imperial fleet has failed, but that's not everything! this war is not about warships, it's about our heritage, our faith, and our soul!"

"We still have hundreds of millions of people loyal to the Empire, as well as nobles and transcendents who have wielded a thousand-year-old lineage, and they will not accept the faith imposed on them by the Red Alliance, nor will they accept the ethereal and unknown fate. ”

"We can still fight!"

"When the battlefield changes from the sky to the land, and the weapons change from battleships to hearts, we still have an advantage that the enemy cannot shake!"

The impassioned words of the Emperor, who was between a teenager and a young man, not only shook the Prime Minister and his ministers, but also made Offlyn extremely happy.

Jon...... Sure enough, you've grown up......

But......

Bitterness pervades Aufrin's heart, but such words are already contrary to the faith of the believers of the order.

Of course, our strength can only come from the gift of the gods!

Of course, our destiny can only be controlled by the gods, how can we control it ourselves!?

What else can we do but wait......

Offlyn groaned in a dark way of headache, and she found herself even more confused.

Yes, if mortal power comes from the gods, and fate is in the hands of the gods, then what else is necessary?

Wouldn't it be nice to say "final verdict" in the oracle of Jinghou?

Her look made the emperor misunderstood, and her voice became louder: "Offreyne, am I not right?"

"Didn't the oracle say that Your Majesty is disappointed in us?"

"Didn't you say, let's do what we want?"

"Then we'll do it!"

"There was never a savior...... Uh, I'm not talking about the letter of the Red Alliance, but I think it's right to say that it's man-made, if everything is decided by Her Majesty the Goddess, what are we going to do here?"

The emperor's questioning made Offlyn unable to say anything, but secretly smiled bitterly, he really shouldn't let him come into contact with those visions that were impregnated by the beliefs of the Red Alliance, even if they were not from the Red Federation.

The prime minister and ministers nodded, applauded and even applauded.

It doesn't matter what the emperor says, the point is that he thinks that the empire should be mobilized, and the nobles, magicians, merchants, and even the people should be mobilized, and this attitude is still very resolute, which means that they have the confidence to take back the usurped power from the hands of the Holy See.

Offrin was faintly uneasy, and was about to say something, when the attendant suddenly sent a message: "Princess Podina has asked to see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

frowned, as a "royal saint", she naturally didn't have a good impression of this "Holy See saintess" who maintained a good relationship with the important ministers of the empire. In the past, there had never been much intersection, but now that she came to find the emperor, Offreyen subconsciously became vigilant.

..................

In the side hall far away from the council chamber, Offrin saw Podina, and was about to say that the emperor was discussing matters and other excuses, but Podina said very seriously: "You should have received the oracle of Her Majesty the Goddess, are you willing to let this empire fall?"

Offlyn was shocked, and then she came back to her senses, since the other party was also a saint of order, and her ranking was much higher than herself, she naturally received an oracle.

Although she didn't feel it completely, the "final verdict" that the goddess said was indeed to let mortals start over.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the rustiness, estrangement and suspicion of the past gradually dissipated in the eye contact, and at such a moment, the two saints opened their hearts to each other.

Overlynn smiled bitterly: "If this is the will of Her Majesty the Goddess, even if you are unwilling, what can you do?"

Podina shook her head: "You said it...... If, that is, you, like me, are wondering if this is really the ruling of the will of the Goddess?"

Offlyn didn't speak, but her eyes flickered violently.

Podina continued, "It seems that I am not the only one who suspects that the Holy See of Order has twisted the will of the Goddess. ”

Offlyn was still cautious: "Aren't you a member of the Holy See of Order? Even if you are ostracized by them, you have a good relationship with Brinto." ”

Podina smiled bitterly: "I'm not like you, I have an emperor who I have cultivated myself as a backer, I just chose one between the two shackles, which is not so tight and not too cold." ”

Offrin remembered Jon's words, and the uneasiness in her heart deepened, "So what are you here for?"

"It's easy!"

Podina waved her hand to unfold the mute barrier: "The Holy See of Order has become the Divine Court of Loyalty of the past, and they are plotting to build some ark in the north, and only those they approve of are eligible to escape the final verdict." To do this, they will tear down the entire empire and use it as a plank for the construction of the ark. ”

"So, isn't it obvious that they have distorted the divine will of Her Majesty the Goddess to destroy the entire world of Fein. How could such a madness be done by a god at the pinnacle of goodness and order?"

Offlyn was silent for a moment, then whispered, "What if the Goddess's will had not been distorted?"

Podina was stunned, and Offrin shook her head slightly: "It's still that person and god are one, and I hope everyone can face His Majesty Theresia, the god emperor, right?"

After revealing the secret of her heart, Podina's face turned pale, and she quickly became red: "Shouldn't it be? Isn't that the most beautiful? Isn't that the relationship between mortals and gods supposed to be?"

"Don't you hope so, aren't you also chosen by Her Majesty Theresia to work for her great cause?"

Offlyn continued to shake her head, more widely, "Yes, indeed, but it's just mortal-to-mortal emotion. Her Majesty Theresia has sublimated her divinity and become the goddess of order, and what I am striving for is her eternal order. ”

Podina curled the corners of her mouth, "But without the Empire, and after your little Jon is no longer the Emperor, you are all excluded from the Eternal Order." ”

Offlyn turned her head, which was another thing that confused her.

She barely held on: "How can you think that the Holy See of Order has twisted the will of Her Majesty the Goddess?"

Podina gained the upper hand and smiled: "I can't be sure, maybe the Holy See of Order didn't do it, this is the true will of Her Majesty the Goddess." ”

Overlyn turned her head abruptly and widened her eyes: "Then you still ......"

"It seems that you have not fully heard the oracle of Her Majesty the Goddess", Podina shook her head pityingly, "After all, you, the holy woman, do not live up to the name. It's just that Her Majesty the Goddess feels that the Dawning Empire is a very useful tool, and you need to maintain the relationship between the clergy and the secular rulers through you, so you are granted the qualification to listen to the oracle. ”

Offlyn's cheeks twitched, but she didn't say anything, which was true.

Podina raised her head and said, "There is a very important sentence in the oracle of the goddess, you can do it yourself......"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Dawning Empire, Holy See, No!"

"In connection with the first half of the oracle, Her Majesty the Goddess attributed the failure of the Heart of the Silver Moon to the last effort to save mortals, and the meaning is very certain, this 'you' is talking about all mortals. ”

"Since all mortals are included, how can the Holy See of Order treat them specially?"

"Therefore, in the eyes of the goddess, there is no difference between mortals. ”

Offlyn found a logical problem: "But what kind of ark plan did you just say that the Holy See of Order is preparing, which is not in the oracle, it must be an oracle specially issued by the goddess to the two cardinals. In the eyes of the goddess, the Holy See of Order is still special, a slave in His service. ”

Podina's smile deepened: "That's because the Holy See of Order is more useful to Her Majesty the Goddess." If the Holy See of Order does not exist and the Empire can do the same thing, will Her Majesty the Goddess care?"

The princess leaned into the ear of the chief of the guard and whispered, "No, he will still gladly accept it." ”

"When the herdsman chooses which one to kill for meat and which one to use as a milk-producing sheep in the flock, who will care more about him?"

A look of horror welled up in Aufrin's eyes, then faded.

Of course, I don't care, the selection criteria are just who has fat meat and who produces more milk.

Offlyn's mind turned, and she said, "This kind of ...... The idea seems to be a bit blasphemous. ”

Podina smiled: "Not recognizing the status of mortals in the eyes of the goddess, and not correcting their position in front of them, this is the real blasphemy." ”

After a long silence in the barrier, Offlyn asked one last question, "Aren't you still holding on to Your Majesty Theresia...... Ideal?"

Podina put away her smile and said deeply: "So, through our own efforts, we make ...... Wouldn't it be nice to become Her Majesty Theresia?"

Aufrin smiled wryly and shook her head: "Sure enough, you are still blasphemy." ”

She sighed, "It seems that I don't have a choice, but Jon is of little use right now except to be a banner, and it doesn't make sense for you to see him, we should get to the practical work as soon as possible." ”

"Of course, that's what I'm here for, I'm not looking for your little Jon, I'm looking for you," Podina said in a brisk tone, "You should understand what our goal is, you mobilize the Prime Minister and the nobles, I mobilize the nobles of the Three Northern Kingdoms, and the magicians, I will ...... with them." In particular, the relationship between Hathaway's side should be stronger than that between you and the Empire. ”

The top priority target is, of course, the Holy See of Order, and Oufflin's heartbeat can't help but speed up when he thought of the scene when Jon ascended the throne and was almost completely controlled by the Holy See of Order. Those guys, it's time to pay for their arrogance!

Out of the Castle of the Emperor, Podina took a floating car back to the Holy Steps City, the light and shadow in the carriage changed, and she took advantage of the time to contact several people, the first of which was naturally Hathaway Ted.

As she expected, Hathaway was very interested in her suggestion, and she even heard a hint of suppressed joy, which showed that Hathaway also had this idea, but she had no way out and no insider.

"Very well, when all the people have gathered in the night, the end of the Holy See will come. ”

Podina's heartstrings stirred, and it was not the entire Holy See that was destroyed, but only the two cardinals and their loyal lackeys. When the time comes, she will take the throne as the new head of the church, change the name of the Holy See, and she will be the first person under the goddess.

This was not a first-of-its-kind, it was the same as the fall of the Divine Court of Allegiance and the rise of the Holy See of Order, and it was only the first step towards her goal.

"Your Majesty, I will carry on your legacy......"

Recalling that as a princess of a small country, she was bullied by the Loyal God Court, and countless friends and subordinates died tragically, but she couldn't do justice. And when the Divine Court fell, and those murderers became the core members of the Holy See of Order, the heat in Podina's heart rolled like magma.

It was Her Majesty Theresia who did not do her best to compromise with the Three Northern Kingdoms and the remnants of the Loyal Divine Court.

She didn't blame Theresia, she wouldn't have this day without Theresia making her a saint of order. Instead, she will continue Theresia's business and sweep away all the forces that still seek to monopolize God's will through the Church.

She is destined to be the second Theresia, and maybe even in the new era, she will achieve even greater merit and prestige than Theresia.

Podina returned to her residence in the Holy Steps, the old palace where Teresia had lived when she was still queen.

As soon as she stepped into the study, which was still in its original layout, her body and mind were shocked, and a person was already waiting for her there.

Cardinal Brinto...... of the Holy See of Order

"Your Highness really misses Her Majesty Theresia," Brynto said faintly, "and I believe this is one of the reasons why the two of us have come together." ”

Podina smiled and said, "Why did your Excellency come here?

"I received the oracle, I have contacted the Emperor and the Prime Minister, and on the way I have spoken to Hathaway, Simbner, and Zold, and they have all agreed......"

Podina looked at Brinto, who was expressionless: "Things will only change if the Holy See of Order changes." How can it finally change, Baudouin is the one who needs to be cleared, Cardinal, if you can get the Holy See to cooperate with the Empire wholeheartedly, I will convince them to support you......"

In a solemn tone, she emphasized: "Take sole control of the Holy See." ”

Brinto raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's really the same as I thought." ”

Then his face sank: "But it's just the last sentence, and it's not time yet." ”

As soon as the words fell, several figures jumped out of the shadows of the lamps and the corners of the wall.

Podina subconsciously unfolded her protection, but the other party did not rush up, some unfolded strange enchantments to cover her, and some held special magic guns, shooting silent and dull bullets.

The enchantment shattered instantly, and Podina's body burst into a continuous stream of colorful light, and she let out a low cry, full of golden light, ready to perform the divine descent spell. There was a small and muffled pop, and countless bullets pierced her body, several from her forehead to the back of her head, and one eye was also pierced.

She slammed against the wall and slowly landed, blood pulling a smear of crimson on the wall.

"Why, why ......"

As a legendary-level saintess, Podina naturally did not die so easily, and she whispered unwillingly.

"I don't know what your plans really are, but I think we're thinking about the same. ”

"As for why you're in this situation, it's because you're not important enough to be a bargaining chip," Brynto said. ”

He slowed his tone: "Rest assured, your destiny is to sacrifice for the goddess, and this is also the supreme glory for you. ”

Podina struggled violently to stand up, but only made the blood on her body and seven orifices spurt more rapidly.

A dark figure stepped forward and waved his hand suddenly, and the forbidden spikes of magic steel pierced through the jaw and pierced through the top of the head.

Podina froze, her eyes were out of focus, and her consciousness went dark.

"I've wanted to clean up this for a long time, and I'm always arrogant in front of me, but I do have a basis. ”

The voice smacked his lips and said in a tone full of abnormal meaning: "Both the saint and the princess, although not as beautiful as those ones, should also be very tasteful, tsk......"

"McGore!"

Brinto said coldly: "Don't have any blasphemous thoughts, this is a sacrifice to Her Majesty the Goddess!"

McGore shrugged: "Just kidding, I'll tell my subordinates to take good care of it until that day." ”

He asked Brynto, "What about the next? Shall it continue? The little emperor, and his nanny, and the prime minister, if they all leave it to me, they will not escape tonight." ”

Brynto snorted, "Don't threaten me, you know what the consequences of this are, shouldn't you go about getting down to business?"

McGore sighed, "Okay, I'm going to hell." ”

When McGore and the others disappeared with Podina, Brinto waved his hand and rolled the airflow, and the blood on the floor, walls, and objects pooled into the air and turned into a ball of fluttering blood.

Putting away the blood beads with crystals, Brynto glanced at the study that had returned to its original state, and sighed: "Your Majesty, your ideal has finally restarted the whole world, if you knew such a result, would you have rebelled against the Loyal Divine Court in the first place?"

Seeing the crystal ball on his desk, Brintor was curious.

Light and shadow appeared, and a sonorous and powerful female voice came out, as if she was broadcasting some kind of declaration, and it had reached the end: "Our footsteps will not stop, and all the kingdoms that oppress and enslave mortals will be the next battlefield!"

"The Red Union declares to the world that our next move is dignified and disdainful of concealment!"

"We're going to take down Valentine and liberate all Finn!"

Brinto smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You still will, in fact you haven't given up yet, although that means that you are closer to destruction, so let you rest completely in the most brilliant battle......"

His tone became solemn and determined, like the voice of a god: "The future belongs to us, to the eternal order. ”https://./5_5025/
