Chapter 193: Secret Meeting
It has been two days since the five churches were attacked, and during this time, in addition to the Dawn Church in the Kingdom of Dylan, I am afraid that the most anxious are the nobles who have taken refuge in the "church faction".
When the news arrived, which shocked everyone, the nobles left and called an emergency rally.
The assembly was held secretly in the mansion of a powerful marquis of the kingdom of Dylan, and the invitees were invariably not central figures among the "ecclesiastical" nobles, the lowest of whom were also the earls of real power.
Now, these big shots, who can be said to "shake the politics of the Dylan Kingdom by stomping their feet", are sitting in a small secret room, and their faces are no longer the usual frivolity and even cynicism, and all that remains is endless anxiety and panic.
The oppressive atmosphere did not last long, and an earl could not help but speak to the old man sitting at the end of the long table:
"Lord Marquis Barenwald, the current situation is urgent, His Majesty the King actually sent General Vic to personally lead the army to crusade against the "rebellion", and the Archbishop of Caspache even threatened to destroy this crazy "Nightkin Alliance" before the civil strife was quelled, they ............ They're forcing us to take sides!"
After this and the Earl had finished speaking in a trembling voice, another Earl also answered:
"Yes, Lord Barenwal, now that His Majesty has joined the Church of Dawn, he even sent the "First Sword Saint of the Crown" as a statement, I think...... I think that if we also want to "strongly support" the Dawn Church, it is time to make a "little statement" as soon as possible.
This earl is like a supporter of "completely devoting himself to the Church of Dawn", and when this situation of having to "stand in line" arises urgently, he gives priority to the value of "voting for the name", after all, the "little expression" at this time can reflect his determination to "stand in line" in a sense, and he can naturally get more benefits when he "shares the cake" after the victory.
However, "devotion to the Dawn Church" and support the Dawn Church in exterminating the "Glory Army" are completely different concepts.
The latter is to get a piece of the cake in the distribution of benefits after the Dawn Church "quells the civil strife", but the former is to put the power of the country under his control into the hands of the Dawn Church - that is, a complete traitor.
So as soon as the earl's words fell, an earl with an ancient castle face roared loudly:
"You despicable and shameless disciple, have you forgotten the glory that your ancestors have obtained for this country, and are you going to give up your noble blood to let the Dawn Church release dogs for your own sake?"
"Count Billy, you are presumptuous, the outcome of this war has long been self-evident, I just made the wisest choice"!
"The choice of wisdom is just the choice of a coward............"
"You...... You're slandering an ancient and noble Earl family, I'm ...... I'm going to duel with you"!
"Enough"!
Seeing that the two great nobles were about to quarrel at the meeting, the old man sitting at the end of the table shouted angrily, and the noisy venue immediately fell silent, and it was obvious that no nobleman dared to ignore this powerful and respected marquis.
The old man glanced at the nobles present with his brilliant eyes, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"It's all undecided, right? You want to wait and see, right? You all want more benefits, right? Don't you want this, now the old man will help you analyze and analyze, and it's not too late to listen to the old man's words!
Now Princess Trelinka's Glory Army has been on the losing side, they have indeed turned a little bit around recently, but in fact they are just the remnants of the losers, the Nightkin Alliance is not her pet, do you think that group of madmen from the evil camp will help Princess Trelinka, a believer in Tyre, the god of justice, for free?
With the loss of a one-yuan general and 50,000 troops, how can she deal with the 400,000 army of our kingdom?
Let's talk about the so-called "Nightkin Alliance" that I don't know, hum, although I don't know which idiot is using these people to help the "Glory Army", but the old man will put his words here today, it won't be long before the fool who uses the Nightkin will be bitten back, and he will definitely be chopped to the bone by this double-edged sword without a handle.
Trying to control a group of madmen, and the people who do it are either another group of madmen or a bunch of fools"!
The Marquis of Barenwald's voice, though low and hoarse, was unusually unmistakable, and it sounded convincing.
After listening to the Marquis's "analysis", the entire secret room once again fell into a suppressed silence, and several tangled counts began to whisper:
"But...... We can't betray the country like this after all, right?"
"I think it's better to wait, this is a major event that will determine the future of the family, so I made such a hasty decision............
"Although I don't think much of Princess Trelinka's little girl, the Glory Army still has the strength to fight, and it is far from the point of exhaustion............
"Although I agree with the Marquis's statement, ...... Let's not consider Archmage Sangus's thoughts, although he didn't say anything, he didn't necessarily support the king!"
"That's right, let's really ask Lord Sangers, the only one who can decide the future of this country is His Excellency the Protector of the Country."
The aristocrats are talking louder and louder - in fact, this is enough to explain their attitude!
Although Marquis Barron's analysis is reasonable, but now the most critical and decisive person, Archmage Sangers, has not yet expressed his position, even if the Dawn Church is huge, but the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in the "small place" of the Dylan Kingdom, no one dares to ignore it casually.
That's a real master-level powerhouse, and the nobles of the entire Dylan Kingdom can't kill enough to launch a madness, how can anyone dare to ignore his will.
Hearing the nobles' discussions, Kou Jing gradually unified in the direction of "waiting for His Excellency the Archmage to make a decision", and Barenwo, who was in the first seat, became more and more gloomy, but he let these nobles discuss more and more fiercely until they unified their voices, they just sat silently and did not say a word.
Behind him, a man in a white robe quietly appeared.
"Bang bang"!
The two voices were silent, but they seemed to sound directly in people's souls, and you slapped suddenly appeared in the secret room of the meeting, and at this time, people realized that a young man in a white priest's robe and the emblem of the Lord of the Morning Light had been standing beside Barenvo for a while.
Due to the interference of some thinking, more than a dozen nobles who were doing it subconsciously ignored this conspicuous young man, and it was not until these two slaps that the nobles woke up.
Seeing the appearance of the young priest with a pale face, some nobles with professional rank were instantly shocked, and they almost screamed out this shout:
"Your Excellency........., Bishop Caspachi! You've advanced to the Master level!!"
