Chapter 730: Slander
"Leo Govinas, is it an evil heretic?" said Gavin XIII, reclining in his seat, still muttering to himself.
In the Great Hall of the Varu Palace, the captains of the four legions glanced at each other and bowed their heads in unison. Although Leo left the Varu Empire on the charge of defection, the captains of the army who had fought alongside him in the rescue of the Emperor had never wanted to believe it, let alone the captain of the McShouner, who had always been friends with Leo.
However, due to the orders of His Majesty Gavin XIII and the nobles led by Duke Rawls, no one dared to overturn the case for Leo, but this did not mean that the legion commanders were willing to be enemies of Leo.
Leo was able to establish a principality from the hermit to the next step with his own strength, and even established his own kingdom, such an ability is not ordinarily powerful, at least the legion commanders are ashamed of themselves. The Tang Legion, the Spartan Heavy Legion, and the Hun Cavalry continued to win battles, and their prestige gradually spread to every corner of the continent.
It's a pity that Gavin XIII's mind is not something that the legion commanders can control, after a few short words of self-talk, Gavin XIII suddenly looked at him and said in a firm tone: "Regardless of whether Leo is a heretic or not, as long as I say yes, he is!
McShouner, the leader of the Grizzly Legion, who was secretly anxious for Leo in his heart, suddenly found that His Majesty Gavin XIII's eyes were looking towards him, and then an order came to his ears: "The whole army of the Green Wolf Legion is assembled, assist the Hofmann Pope of the Temple of the Goddess of Harvest, and attack the Kingdom of Pritz with all their might, and kill all the evil gods and heretics, including Leo Kovenas!"
After hearing His Majesty's order from His Majesty the Emperor, Commander McHuner's Legion sighed slightly. Among the four major legions, only the Green Wolf Legion and Leo have a grudge, although the current Randall Legion Commander was promoted because Clark Gallup Legion Commander was assassinated by Leo, but in the Green Wolf Legion, the voice of revenge for General Gallup has not died down.
His Majesty Gavin XIII ordered the Wolf Legion to attack the Kingdom of Pritz, I am afraid it is for this reason! After all, General Gallup was the first legion commander to be beheaded, and it was difficult for the Wolf Legion, who had always been eager to take revenge, to bear this breath, even if Randall was secretly grateful to Leo in his heart, he could not stop the revenge of the entire Green Wolf Legion.
"Yes, my majesty, the Legion of the Wolves will surely break through the Empire and rid it of all evil gods and hereticals!" the Randall Legion strode forward, leaned over to answer, and then turned to McHuner's side and gave him a helpless look before walking out of the Great Hall.
"Damn, if Duke Solo was in the imperial capital, at least there would be people who would dare to persuade His Majesty the Emperor! Now I can only pray for the blessing of the goddess of harvest, hoping that Leo can survive this catastrophe!" Since the deposition of the patriarch Nathaniel, Duke Solo has become the only person in the entire Varu dynasty who dares to persuade His Majesty the Emperor based on his seniority, and it is precisely because of this that Duke Solo is even less popular with Gavin XIII.
The search for evil gods and heretics has caused an uproar in various countries on the mainland. Many people who are usually secretive have been unearthed, including spies sent by various countries to each other, and there must really be some believers in evil gods. But more often than not, countries have finally found excuses and reasons to attack other countries.
In the midst of this turmoil, Leo and his kingdom of Pritz were the first to be affected. After all, there are too many countries that have a grudge against Leo, the Varu Empire and the Paris Empire are eager to kill Leo, the Church of Light and the Dark Council are also eyeing him, and even the remnants of the original Lorraine Kingdom are also ready to move.
All of a sudden, Leo and the Kingdom of Pritz became the target of anger and slander by various countries, all kinds of secrets about Leo's life experience, methods, etc. were discovered, and all kinds of incredible things that appeared on him were guided to the side of the evil god believers. Soon, Leo's reputation collapsed as quickly as he had risen to prominence, and almost overnight it became insignificant.
However, these are not completely slanderous to Leo, many of them are crooked, and they happen to say all kinds of flaws and inappropriateness of Leo, but in the slander like a river, no one will distinguish the truth from the false.
After the sudden coercion in the sky was lifted and the ensuing divine war occurred, Immorton and Feng Xifan were not in the mood to talk nonsense with St. Anthony, Feng Xifan pushed St. Anthony staggered away for a distance, and then after greeting Immorton, he lifted and jumped down the mountain.
The ascetics hurriedly stepped forward to support St. Anthony's crown who was pushed away by Feng Xifan, but just now, no one noticed that when Feng Xifan was stretching out his hand to push, the few places pointed by his five fingers were the death points on St. Anthony's shoulder and neck, and even St. Anthony himself did not notice it, and a breath of inner breath quietly lurked in his body.
The mighty battle in the sky attracted all the attention of St. Anthony and the ascetics, and no one paid attention to how Immorton had quietly escaped from the barrier of light, and no one cared about how the priests and ascetics below the mountain had died. The ascetics prayed to the god of light they believed in with all their might, hoping that through their prayers, they could replenish the power of faith for the god of light, and contribute a little strength to the god war with their meager bodies.
The ascetics sat around St. Anthony and whispered a hymn in praise of the God of Light, while St. Anthony had a solemn expression on his face, and led the chanting in a loud voice and frequency: "The brilliance of my god will shine in the sky, and the sky will no longer be dark, and the light of my god will be sprinkled on the earth, and there will be warmth in the world!"
Just as St. Anthony threw his whole body and mind into prayer, and bursts of light and divine power fluctuations continued to spread from his body, affecting the surrounding ascetics who were chanting, gathering their pious hearts, St. Anthony suddenly felt an indescribable aura welling up from his body, piercing towards his heart where he had gathered divine power.
Like a drop of water splashed into a hot oil pot, the appearance of the xenomorph aura in the fluctuating divine power immediately provoked a strong reaction.
