Chapter 22: Prince McGee's Calculations

McGee Mushiramo stood on the wall of Durent, the seat of the Western Governor's Palace, watching Charlie Andris go away with a small group of knights, and at this moment, under the reflection of the sunset, Charlie's dark red hair was like a dancing flame, exuding a vigorous and upward vitality, which could not help but make Prince McGee's gaze a little complicated, because he had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

"Father, why don't you agree to a formal alliance with him?" A soft and beautiful female voice sounded behind Prince McGee.

McGee shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Tasha, I used to think that I had enough strength to do a great job. But after I saw how powerful Charlie's army was, my self-confidence was shaken, with my 100,000 descendants, once I pulled the flag and rebelled, could I really withstand the counterattack of the empire? ”

The princess of Tasha Muhiramo was silent.

Prince McGee continued: "I will not officially start an incident until Charlie has helped me train at least 50,000 new troops. ”

"But can Charlie's strength alone withstand the full encirclement and suppression of the infidels?" The Tasha princess said with some concern.

"Full force?" Prince McGee sneered, "Daughter, it's impossible for them to go all out, because my good royal brother is now planning to attack the Holy City with an army of 150,000 people, and as long as his army is there, the Pagan Holy See will not send a single soldier to the Western Front." And ......" he paused and said: "Although I will not formally form an alliance with Charlie, the material aid that should be given will not be short, with this strong material resources, coupled with Charlie's strong army, those eight pagan countries will not be able to help him." ”

The Tasha princess nodded, "I see. ”

She knew that her father's brother was the current governor of the east, Prince Rade Muhiramo.

"The question now is ......" Watching Charlie's figure disappear into the horizon, Prince McGee turned his head and stared at his beautiful daughter with burning eyes, "how to strengthen ourselves as soon as possible." ”

The Taxia princess frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "You can get Charlie's training method first, and we can train the army ourselves." ”

"Hmm." Prince McGee smiled approvingly, "Charlie has promised to sort out his art of war when he goes back and give it to us." ”

Hearing this, the Tasha princess's eyes widened in surprise, "This is really good! In this way, my father's dream is one step closer to being realized! ”

But as soon as she finished speaking, a wild and brutal man's voice sounded behind her.

"Dreams?! This is obviously a betrayal! Taji Mushiramo rushed to the city in a rage, "Father, are you worthy of the countless believers who have sacrificed their lives for the Lord for thousands of years?!" ”

Prince McGee stared coldly at his only son, and the heir to the throne. Unlike Tasha, Taji didn't grow up with him, the kid was educated in the heavily religious capital, and now he has been brainwashed into a complete fanatic.

"You know what?" Prince McGee asked displeased.

Prince Taji said angrily: "I don't understand anything, I just know that Father, you want to make my thousands of years of hard work in teaching!" ”

Prince McGee pursed his lips, "If we continue to fight like this, there will be no results for thousands of years." The only thing that can really break down the infidels is peace. ”

Prince Taji's eyes widened in disbelief: "Peace? ”

"That's right." Prince McGee nodded, "The north is different from our south, the land is barren and the products are scarce. They can't feed much of their population, and if they don't consume the surplus without war, their rule will collapse when the population exceeds the limits of what the land can support! Therefore, if you want to take full control of the Western Continent and eliminate the threat of the infidels, fire and sword are not the best choice, peace is. ”

After hearing his father's words, Prince Taji thought quickly, and then he quickly found the crux of the problem.

"Father." Prince Taji stared at his father tightly, "Do you want to apply the same system as Charlie the Pagan King?" ”

Both McGee and his daughter frowned.

What is Charlie's system? If nothing else, just looking at the freedom of belief, doesn't this nihilize the influence of religion?

In a country with complex religious beliefs, naturally no one religion can dominate, and a religion that cannot dominate naturally cannot have much influence on the secular government.

This is the case in the Cyris Empire, except for the Chaos Cult, which likes to rebel, all other religions can be freely preached in this country, but they must abide by the laws of the country, and they must stand up and serve the country when the country needs it. Under the country's strong secular authority, all religions have to live honestly, and they cannot think anything wrong.

In the eyes of Prince Taji, the country that practiced such a system must be a wicked polytheistic state, or worse a state of the unbelievers. And the man who imposes such a system must be a careerist, because he wants to make secular power above the clergy!

And for a devout believer, this is absolutely intolerable!

Prince McGee did not answer his son's question, but only raised his voice and shouted, "Someone! ”

Hearing this, three or five brown-clothed warriors in armor and scimitars rushed to the top of the city.

"Your Royal Highness." They respectfully folded their chests and saluted.

Prince McGee ordered: "Shut Taji in his room, and no one shall let him out without my orders!" ”

"This?" The samurai couldn't help but look at each other.

"Why don't you do it yet?" Prince McGee shouted angrily.

The warriors hurriedly took action, set up Taji like a sinner, and headed down the city.

"Father, McGee! You won't end well with that! The Juggernaut will punish you! Prince Taji was still roaring.

The veins on Prince McGee's head twitched, but he didn't give any more orders to sanction his son.

……

A few days later, the coastal city of Lytro in the eastern region of the Brown Empire.

Sand, sea, exotic city.

Buchen led his dark horse and walked in the streets of the city. The humid air characteristic of coastal cities made him feel very enjoyable. If there was anything he complained about in this city, it would be the women's clothing.

As in the rest of the Brown Empire, the women of this city were tightly wrapped. Even the face is hidden under the brown veil.

Seeing Buchen staring at a tightly wrapped woman and frowning, Master Pope hurriedly came up and said, "Engong, there is still a place to see beauties in this city, in fact, you can not only watch, but also play!" As he spoke, an ambiguous expression appeared on his fat face that even a man understands.

Buchen pursed his lips, knowing that he was referring to the Fengyue place, "Isn't it stipulated in the teachings of your ruling religion that the people of the sect are not allowed to open kilns and be prostitutes (harmonious)?" ”

"That's it." Pope nodded, but then he changed his mind, "It's just that there are exceptions to everything." ”

"For example?" Buchen came to be a little interested.

Master Pope said, "Take those of your fellow Seris, for example. ”

"Them?"

Master Pope nodded, "There is a Race Street in this city. The kilns are all there, and there are all kinds of bright colors in them. ”

Buchen's cheeks twitched, okay, he had a Chinatown in his previous life, and he has a Sairen Street in this life. But he immediately thought of a crucial question: "Does the magistrate of this city care?" ”

"Engong, you don't know." Master Pope waved his hand, "This is a harbor city, and there are a lot of maritime merchants in Seris, and they are all extremely wealthy, and in order to collect more taxes, sometimes they have to be flexible. ”

He shook his head without listening: "What kind of believers are these?" ”

Pope laughed dryly, "Eun Gong, why don't we settle down with me and go?" ”

I don't know what Pop means by "I", Pop has a different business in this city, and I heard him say that it is also a villa, but due to the high land price in this city, every inch of land is expensive, and it is not as big as Mangula City.

Buchen glanced at him, "You really want to go, right?" ”

Master Pope smiled like a flower, "Really, you can't hide anything from your father!" ”

Buchen pouted, "No! ”

"Why?" Master Pope's face immediately became bitter.

"Why?" Buchen raised his leg and kicked Master Pope, "There is still business to do!" Why? ”

found that Buchen had started to bully Pope again, and the three girls who were giggling and watching the scenery in the back immediately withdrew their attention.

"Henry, what's wrong again?" Fei Fei asked loudly.

Buchen hurriedly turned around and gave a smile: "It's okay, it's just that this product wants to go to the kiln." ”

No, this slut sold Master Pop without saying a word.
