Chapter 68: Returning Now for a Thousand Years (Next)

For the continent, whether it is the secular world or the magic world, Jack Boer II is a pivotal figure. When future generations talk about this period of history, no matter from which point of view, there is no way to bypass this person.

It was under the leadership of Jack Boer II that the Fugg family transformed from a wool and silk merchant into a family of finance, and remains one of the most important consortia on the continent today; It was under the leadership of Jack II that the Gelb Halstch hermitage emerged from the shadows and officially became a pole of the Continental Sorcery power; It was under the auspices of Jack II that the Protestants gained a foothold in continental Europe and eventually established their own magical forces in Italy, the Lutherans and the Salvation Army; It was under a series of blows from Jack Bo II that the Holy See finally lost its absolute dominance in continental Europe and had to compromise with the Wizards' Guild to achieve joint rule.

The death of Jack Boer II is a mystery that no authority has yet to say.

There are many strange gossips that circulate.

It is said that Jackberg II was killed by angels summoned by the Holy See on the way back to Augsburg; It is said that Jackbur II was assassinated by the surviving witches of Brocken's Peak; It is said that Jackberg II died of a stroke while calling for prostitutes; Others say that Jack Boer II was assassinated by dissident forces within the Gelb Halstch Order.

The Gelb Halstch monastic has remained silent about the cause of Jack II's death, and has not made any excuses for any bizarre claims outside. This silence adds to the mystery of Jackbur II's death.

Of the several theories that have survived to this day, the most dominant is that Jack Bo II died at the hands of insiders, and this theory is based on the fact that as soon as Jack Boer II died, the Gelb Halstch Monastery declared a truce with the Holy See.

There are bound to be all kinds of hills within any force.

The founding ancestor of the Red Dynasty once famously said that there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

The GelbHalstch Monastery had already heard voices of internal discord at the time of the ongoing bloody war with the Holy See, and this discord was aimed at the fact that it was not a war with the Holy See.

In fact, the Gelb Halstch hermitage from the Taiping Dao lineage has maintained the anti-bone spirit of the Taiping Dao very well, and has never taken any authority or the like to heart, seeing that you are not pleasing to the eye, it will be against your mother, not to mention a mere pretending to be a ghost, this kind of trick has been played by our ancestors thousands of years ago, and it is much more powerful than you.

So in the beginning, there was not much opposition to the war with the Holy See, and there was not much opposition within the Gelb Halstch monastery, and the mages who had been hiding for a long time jumped to try it out and wanted to make a big move.

And under the planning of Gelb II II, the GelbHalstch hermitage did win one after another in the early stage, if it can take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, at least the Great March operation will be held to the end, and it will not be a problem to overthrow the orthodox position of the Holy See in continental Europe, and the Holy See may kill at the last moment It has long been expected by the GelbHalstch Hermitage, and the corresponding follow-up has been prepared, They were intent on using the blood of hundreds of thousands of Protestants to cleanse the Holy See of the orthodox majesty that had been established in the hearts of the continents for centuries.

The Gelb Halstch hermitage mages seemed to have forgotten the reason for the initial war against the Holy See - Jack Bo II avenged his son, but the problem was that Jack Bo II himself did not forget Jì, so after receiving that the witch on the top of Brocken Mountain was the culprit, Jack Boer II resolutely abandoned the original plan and mobilized the main force of the Gelb Halstch Monks to attack the top of Brocken Mountain.

This decision was conceivably met with strong opposition within the GelbHalstch Order, but Jack Birch, who led the GelbHalstch Retreat to its glory in both the secular and magical worlds, had supreme authority within the GelbHalstch Ashram, and he used his authority to forcibly suppress all opposition and attack the top of Brocken Hill. 、

It was clear that the Gilb Halstch had destroyed the witches at the top of Brocken's Mountain, but had lost the best opportunity to crush the Holy See, and the ensuing bloody battle could have been avoided.

Voices of opposition to the forced suppression grew, and the mages of the Gelb Halstch monastic began to question Jack II's decision.

The witches on the top of Brocken's Hill will not escape, why can't they kill those witches after defeating the Holy See, since they have already killed the culprit to take revenge, and lost the best opportunity to defeat the Holy See, then there is no need to continue to fight to the death with the Holy See, the life of your son of Jackber II is fate, and the life of our GelbHalstch hermitage is not fate?

This suspicion seemed to have a deadly undercurrent surging in the Gelb Halstch monastery, eventually forming a peak of demands for Jack II's resignation, but ironically, these doubts did not dare to make this request openly because they were afraid of Jack Halstch's authority, and instead planned an assassination attempt to kill Jack II directly.

These are all inferences based on a series of actions of the Gelb Halstch hermitage after the death of Jack II.

As soon as the news of Jackberg II's death broke, his successor, the new leader of Augsburg, took the initiative to reconcile with the Holy See and declare an armistice.

The Holy See, already overwhelmed, happily accepted the settlement offer of the Gelb Halstch Order, signed an armistice in the shortest possible time, and turned around to continue to deal with the Protestant forces that had grown irrepressibly and the forces of the sorcery world that were about to stir up because of the war.

For the GelbHalstch Order, the death of Jackberg II was an irreparable loss, and soon the wizards of the GelbHalstch Retreat discovered that Jackberg II's successor, that is, Jack Birch's own brother, was far inferior to his brother's talents, and not only was he unable to lead Augsburg forward, but he was at a loss to deal with the successive events, so that Augsburg's power not only failed to continue to develop after the war with the Holy See, Instead, it shrank for some ridiculous reason.

So the Gelb Halstch monastic again seized power in a coup d'état. Compared with the cowardice and cowering in the face of Jack Bo II, in the face of Jack Bo II's younger brother, the mages acted unceremoniously and directly overthrew the unqualified heir and replaced him with a leader. But they soon found that the new leader was still not doing a good job, so the dissidents continued the coup d'état, followed by a new one. However, the mages of the Gelb Halstch Monastery soon discovered that no matter who they pushed up, the table on the stage was far inferior to the dead Jack II, and the frequent coups not only did not help the development of the Gelb Halstch Ashram, but on the contrary, its power was consumed in constant infighting, so that after more than ten years, in the face of the joint oppression of the Holy See and the Wizards' Guild, it had to shrink on a large scale, until the scope of control was retracted to before the official war with the Holy See. That is, the area around Augsburg.
