No one would have guessed that the naïve stupid imp had long since died, replaced by an abnormal old monster. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If he knew, Snett wouldn't have made a move against the Power Church at this time.

Having obtained the "seal" of power, Snett did not hesitate to begin to attack the power of the power church from all sides.

For Snet, his real opponent is the Church of Power, especially when the entire empire is reduced to an island that is smaller than Snyder's ambitions.

Snett wants to become the true king of the empire, and for this reason, the power church in front of him must be the object of sweeping.

Of course, it is impossible to completely clean it up. However, on this isolated island, it is possible for Snett to minimize the power of the Power Church and no longer be an obstacle to himself.

It is impossible for a high god to be mad over such trivial matters.

In the past, in the Continent of the Gods, even the so-called divine war, there were very few gods descending on the material realm - if the gods came, something big would definitely happen, and for a bishop who fell into a small country in other places to be suppressed, it was definitely not a big deal.

To put it mildly, unless it is the kind of country where the divine power is far higher than the royal power, in most countries, the suppression of the divine power is a normal and common phenomenon, and everyone has long been surprised by the fighting between the ruler and the church.

After all, the church is just a church, and within half a month, Snett used various means to make the power of the power church begin to shrink continuously.

In the meantime, Snett has had some injuries, but the price is undoubtedly worth it.

After making sure that the Church of Power was a little out of breath, Snett stopped slightly.

If you get it out like this, the Church of Power will start to fight back strongly, as if the force of the spring will become very strong when it is pressed to a certain extent.

Snet, who has been scheming for a long time, has sensed a tipping point, so he plans to stop.

However, he will fight and stop, how can there be such a good thing?

Even if the Power Church agreed, no one else agreed.

At such a critical juncture, Snet's important bodyguard killed one of the deacons of the Power Church.

And in the empire, there are only three deacons, what does it mean? It means that Snett is playing big.

Whether Kent wants to confront Snett at this time, the death of his deacon means that God's glory has been damaged, and Kent, as the supreme spokesman for the imperial theocracy, must respond.

Kent responded by hanging Snett's bodyguard and hanging him in front of everyone, telling them that the majesty of God could not be provoked.

Now, Snett is not happy, you can't see such an obvious provocation? This is obviously the person who blamed me and killed you, I'm ready to stop it, and you still come here?

And so things went out of hand.

The Church of Power began to collect money and grain from the people in the areas where the Church was strong, and to force conscription, intending to wage a war to "eradicate heresy".

And Snett was not weak, he began to mobilize troops from all over the empire, began to assemble, and if you dare to come, I will dare to fight.

For a moment, the entire empire was in a state of panic.

Even Snett and Kent actually got on the head, and they didn't expect things to suddenly escalate to such an extent.

Now is not a good time for a formal war, and under normal circumstances, shouldn't one side back down?

Snett didn't know that Kent was saddled with an oracle and couldn't back down at all.

The tense atmosphere was spreading, Sneite was in the army, Kent was in the array, and the struggle between the empires for divine power and "imperial power" suddenly entered the harshest and tense moment.

However, the two are still waiting, restrained from really making a move, once they do, there is no turning back, they are both waiting for an opportunity to ease the atmosphere, so that they have more time to accumulate strength, and they are sure to completely defeat each other.

This opportunity, waiting and waiting, fell to Nero Akmund, the titular king of the empire.

Although it was ostensibly a struggle between divine power and imperial power, everyone knew very well in their hearts that it was actually Snett and Kent who were fighting.

And in the entire empire, in terms of identity and status, there is only Nero Akmund, the emperor, who can be adjusted or stepped down.

After thinking about it again, Snett decided to take a step back by himself, although the empire must have an advantage in terms of troops, but Kent's side is an army that belongs to the gods, and a divine blessing or something, one can't fight ten, but one fight three or five is not a problem.

Speaking of which, Snett definitely didn't suffer a loss this time, the biggest loss was the death of a henchman, but in addition to that person, he also had two bodyguards, and his strength was strong, and the two of them were not inferior to Estes at all.

With their protection, and his hole cards, Snett didn't think anyone in the empire would be able to kill him.

Entering the palace, Snet's vivid performance completely inspired the little king's dream of becoming a hero, and he decided to meet with the Bishop of Kent in person and persuade him to make the impending war invisible.

When the news got out that King Nero had decided to speak to the Bishop of Kent himself, Kent thought about it and agreed. As for the reason, it is naturally not much different from Snett's.

"However, if there is no way to talk about it in the end......"

A dangerous thought was going through both of them.

It would be best to be able to negotiate, but it is difficult for both of them to compromise on their own interests, so Snett and Kent are also ready to kill Nero directly once the negotiations break down, starting a war called "justice" to get the greatest support.

In this way, I am afraid that I can defeat the other party and completely control this empire.

――――――

"No, I'm firmly against it!"

The time for negotiations was set for three days later, and Osman looked at the little king and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, you must not take this risk!" ”

Looking at this stubborn old minister, Su Mo said, "It won't be dangerous, someone will follow me to protect me." ”

"Kent and Snet, if you want to kill Your Majesty, even I can't protect you." Osman said.

"Estes, plus a few people, it's pretty much it." Su Mo said ambiguously.

"Even that is dangerous." Osman said.

"If this opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to find the next one." Su Mo said, "It's just a little danger, I need you to be on call at any time." ”

"Your Majesty......" Osman was about to persuade something, but was "driven out" by Su Mo, and in desperation, he could only find Estes and constantly tell her to protect her, and at the same time began to mobilize the royal guard, ready to be dispatched at any time.

The place of negotiation was not in the imperial capital, but in a castle outside the imperial capital.

Who owned this castle has long been forgotten in history, and later belonged to Snet, only one of Snyth's many assets, and Snett never cared about it on weekdays, but now it has been cleaned and used as a negotiation site.

Before the negotiations began, the army of the Power Church and the army of the Empire were already on both sides, surrounding the entire castle, which can be described as impregnable, not even a fly can fly into it.

Before entering the room, "Nero" was once again bewitched by Snow, and forcibly left Estes in the garden outside the gate, and followed Snett into it alone.

Of course, in Snet's opinion, this is the most normal manifestation, Nero has never liked Osman and Estes before, and it is strange that he has recently eased up with them.

The door was opened, and in the ornate room, the Bishop of Kent was already sitting and waiting, watching Nero, Snet, and his two bodyguards enter. Behind Kent stood two deacons, one not squinting, the other glaring at Snet, almost shouting "sinner".

"Your Majesty Nero."

The Bishop of Kent stood up and bowed nonchalantly, ignoring Snet.

Snett was not angry, took Su Mo to the soft chair, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this matter is according to what I said, don't worry about it, just leave it to me." ”

Su Mo nodded, looking around the room, looking like an innocent child.

Snett did it in front of Kent, the two looked at each other for a while, and began to ramble, as big people, of course, they can't speak too bluntly, they need to be a little more subtle.

Although they wanted to stab each other directly in their hearts, the two of them had a light look and a gentle smile on their faces.

After arguing for a while, Kent took the lead in getting to the point: "Prime Minister Snead, how do you want things to be resolved?" ”

"It is not up to me to decide how to solve it, of course it is up to His Majesty to forgive your sins." Snett said.

Kent snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid Your Majesty Nero doesn't know anything, right?" Forgive our sins, true sinners should be forgiven by the God of power, and it is up to us to wash away the sins of some people. ”

As soon as the core issue was discussed, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and the deacon and bodyguard behind the two people immediately tensed up, ready to strike at any time.

"Okay, okay."

Snett shrugged his shoulders, pointed to the map on the table, and directly crossed out a part of it, "These places can continue to spread the belief in the god of power." ”

Kent looked at the location Snett had drawn out, his eyes narrowed slightly, these places were not as large as the area occupied by the Church of Power before.

During this time, Snett sealed the churches in those places under various pretexts, drove them out, and even killed some of the clergy.

Now Snett has only half of the area he has demarcated.
