Chapter 247: A Win-Win Deal

There is no doubt that Aioria has completed Link's mission perfectly, giving Sylvanas an intuitive understanding of the strength of the Father's Cult.

It's just the tip of the iceberg, but it's just the tip of the iceberg that makes it even better.

Because Sylvanas and her courtiers are smart people, and the smarter they are, the more they like to think more, and when the Father's Cult shows the tip of the iceberg's power, they will wonder how many powerful masters the Father's Cult has like Aeolia.

You must know that the Father God Cult has four Golden Saints has long been rumored, and Aioria is not the strongest among them, the strongest in the outside world is the Gemini Saga and the dragon Virgo, and the latter has not even let the outside world know his name.

In this case, Sylvanas and the others can't think about it too much.

The more she thought about it, the more jealous Sylvanas became of the Fatherhood, and even though she was stronger than the Father's Cult in terms of overall strength, she didn't dare to mess with the Father's Religion.

Because theocracy and kingship are destined to contradict each other, they are inseparable, and in this world where miracles and miracles are common, it is impossible to destroy faith, and the reason why Sylvanas has repeatedly tolerated the Father's Cult and Link is also because she understands this, and needs the Father's Cult as her help.

In this era, it is not difficult to conquer other countries and other peoples, but it is difficult to make them convert, at this time, there is a great belief that can make the naturalization of the people's hearts much smoother, especially some people who do not obey the religion, often mythological beliefs are easier to make them return to their hearts than those preferential policies.

Sylvanas was to have a strong church and a strong faith in her lifetime, so she chose the Church of the Father.

It's just that from the current point of view, it is not easy to control the Father's Cult, and it is not easy to eliminate the Father's Cult, not to mention Link, the Father's Cult's own combat power makes Sylvanas feel very pressured.

"Neil Night, he really deserves to be a peerless genius who has reached the peak of the ninth order at such a young age. Not only cultivation, but also cultivation and development of forces, I really don't know if it's right or wrong to let you grow like this. Sylvanas took a deep look at Link, her mind fluttering, and finally, she smiled with a hint of pride and excitement, "However, that's worth conquering, wait, Neil-Night." Sooner or later, this king will submit to you at the feet of this king!"

Thinking to himself, Sylvanas said, "Archbishop Neil, if this king conquers the alien races of the north, how much time will it take for them to have a sense of belonging to the kingdom. ”

The sudden question made everyone stunned, Link looked at Sylvanas, and said with a smile on his face: "Her Majesty said that I should not be asked about this matter, but it depends on how Her Majesty wants to treat the northern aliens, if Her Majesty does not treat them as subjects." And if I don't give them fair treatment, even if I fill them with fear and trust in the Father, it will be difficult for them to feel a sense of belonging to the Kingdom. ”

Hearing this, Sylvanas narrowed his eyes and stared at the Soul Slayer Iron Rider below, "A few years ago, this king led his army to kill that group of aliens to the point of blood. They have developed an indelible hatred for the king, and even if the king treats them fairly, they will not forget this hatred. Moreover, they also believe in a motley group of gods. Under the influence of faith, it is even more difficult for them to let go of their hatred. Archbishop Neil, you say. If they were to change their faith to God the Father, would they change their attitude towards this king?"

"If Her Majesty promises not to treat them differently after conquering them," said Linklius, "then, under the inspiration of the Father, they will be able to put aside their hatred and be your people in peace for five years, or ten years at most. ”

Sylvanas nodded, and then shook his head again: "It's been too long, I need their combat power, and this king wants them to serve this king with all their hearts and help this king fight the world." Archbishop Neil, this king will send troops to the north next year, and when the time comes, this king needs you to replace their original faith with the faith of Father God Link, and willingly become a citizen of the kingdom - this process, this king does not want to take more than two years!"

Link frowned at this, and then took a deep look at Sylvanas.

This is a slightly larger amount of work to stabilize the alien race in the north in two years, you must know that the kingdom of the stars does not have the strong assimilation ability of ancient China, and even if it is ancient Huaxia, if you want to make a foreign race completely surrender and honestly obey the people, the time required will be calculated in ten years.

Don't think that integrating a nation is a simple matter, there are too many things involved, especially when the victorious side is not considered to crush the leaders at the level of civilization, and the difficulty is even more terrifying.

In this case, there is not only one ethnic group in the north of the Kingdom of Stars, but it is composed of more than a dozen ethnic groups, with more than one million people, and after the conquest, even half of them will be killed to 500,000 people.

It is so difficult to completely convert these more than 500,000 people who don't know a few characters and have huge prejudices against the Kingdom of Stars to completely submit, just thinking about it is a headache.

Glancing deeply at Sylvanas, Link muttered, "Your Majesty, I understand your intentions, but is it too difficult to get those people completely attached within two years?"

Sylvanas said slowly: "Don't worry, this king will let the officials fully cooperate with you, and will not let other religious forces interfere, you can preach to your heart's content." And the king's request is very simple, within two years, the king wants a stable north!"

"Is there a stable north?" Link looked at Sylvanas, "After that, Her Majesty will launch a war of conquest against other countries, right?"

That's right, the Kingdom of Stars has always been subject to the relationship between the northern aliens and cannot expand externally, when the problem of the northern aliens is solved, this ambitious queen will naturally start to expand externally, and it will take two years to stabilize the north, just to prepare for attacking other countries!

Sylvanas didn't intend to hide this, so she wasn't surprised that Link saw through the plan at a glance, and she said in a slow tone: "When the time comes, you will know, Archbishop Neil, every time this king occupies a piece of land, he will sweep away the local religious forces, and when the time comes, this king hopes that you and your church can immediately fill the religious vacancies there, and sweep away the local religion and the remnants of the enemy country." At the same time, the king hates that there is too little religion around him—you should understand what the king means, right?"

At the end, Sylvanas looked at Link with a meaningful look.

Link's eyes flashed after hearing this, this means that Sylvanas will fully support the Father's Cult to develop its religious power, and as long as the kingdom's army goes, the country will help the Father's Cult to remove the obstacles to proselytizing to the greatest extent.

On the other hand, the Church of the Father must cooperate with the Kingdom's actions and protect the Kingdom's soldiers and officials within its power, helping the Kingdom Army to sweep away the remnants of the enemy and pacify the local people.

In addition, the Cult of the Father God could not continue to preach in the existing territory of the country, except in the Red Moon Province and the territory of the alien races in the north—the so-called religion was too few, which was a warning that the Church of the Father God was not allowed to continue to expand in the existing territory of the Kingdom of the Stars.

The purpose of this is to ensure that the foundation and core of the kingdom are still under the control of the central government, otherwise when the whole country is left with only the Father's religion, there will really be no turning around, and Sylvanas will never allow this to happen.

To put it simply, this is a deal, Sylvanas said very bluntly that the northern aliens, the Red Moon Province and the newly conquered places in the future can be left to the Father's Religion, but the Father's Religion must also act together with the kingdom, which means that the Father's Religion must also step on the kingdom's chariot and become a member of the conquerors!

After reviewing the pros and cons, Link found that he really couldn't refuse Sylvanas this time.

If he doesn't agree, Sylvanas will definitely choose another partner to work with, which will make the future mission of the Father's Church very troublesome.

Second, although this will cause the Father's Church to be tainted with a certain amount of notoriety, if it is done well, the expansion rate of faith will increase by more than ten times, and the notoriety will gradually be forgotten by the world over time, even if it is dug up in the future, it will not affect the status of the Father's Religion in the local area.

Third, abandoning the missionary work in the existing areas of the kingdom would minimize the conflict between the divine and the royal powers, and allow the relationship between the two sides to be maintained for a long time, and possibly even permanently.

As soon as he thought of this, Link smiled and said: "Father God, I am very moved by Her Majesty's proposal, and I am personally very willing to cooperate with Her Majesty for a long time, I think that as long as Her Majesty sincerely cooperates with our Church, no one else will refuse Her Majesty's proposal." ”

Sylvanas nodded with satisfaction when he heard this: "Don't worry, this king will send an envoy to the Divine City to discuss with your sect slowly, and we will definitely be able to agree on an agreement that satisfies Archbishop Neil." After a pause, she added, "But, before that, Archbishop Neil, there is some special information in the letter you wrote to this king before you came, I wonder if it is true?"

Link nodded with a smile: "Of course, Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to confirm it, and all the information is true." ”

Suddenly, Sylvanas's eyes flashed sharply, and then he hid and said, "In that case, let's go to the military tent and discuss it slowly." ”

As soon as the words landed, Sylvanas led the group to the nearest council tent.

After all the Father's Cult and his ministers and generals were in place, Sylvanas spoke again: "Archbishop Neil, you said in your letter that you would join forces with this king to deal with the Bal Religion, I wonder if there is a specific plan?"

Yes, the information that Sylvanas provided before was the Bal religion, and it was also the real purpose of Link's trip!

Hearing Sylvanas's words, Link smiled and said, "Her Majesty said that you are the king, and I have no obligation to deal with the Bal religion, but I have no plan, because I am waiting for Her Majesty's dispatch." ”

"Listen to the king's dispatch......" Sylvanas took a deep look at Link, not knowing what kind of medicine Link was selling, wasn't he afraid that she would use the Father's Cult as cannon fodder? )
