Chapter 1 The Sword Goes Southwest

In the past few days, the Chenxing Church has received too many unexpected surprises, and Dr. Finon's accidental collision has stimulated the apostle's infectious power, and in a short period of time, he has opened the artifact that has been silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Hughes brought frightening news to the church, it turned out that the forces that had been secretly taking in the remnants of Dunbar were the Mist Kingdom, and even the goddess Tessis was on their side, carrying out actions to hinder the spread of faith behind the back of the heavenly realm, which was really terrible to think about. Fortunately, the artifact was opened in time, and Halifax immediately reported to Fitzgerald, the main god of the expedition, and exposed the true face of Tessis, and later the four gods will descend and arrange the goddess of destruction.

Halifax was praised by the celestial realm, and specially left a god general as the guardian of the church, and extended the life of the pope for two hundred years, and gave the great prophecy as a reward, and the church, which was about to turn into a terrible war machine.

No pope has been so valued by the heavenly realm, Halifax is full of spirits and ready to make a big move, he has always worried that his foundation is not stable enough, and now that he has the backing of God, no one dares to sing any kind of drama. Therefore, the next day, the Pope announced in public that he would remove Wilkster, the chief magistrate, from the position of Church meritorious Hughes, a position he had long wanted to replace with his own, but due to the power of Hainault's men, he did not do it for the time being. Now, when Halifax announced the order, no one said a word, and everyone knew that the church was already his world.

Immediately afterwards, it was the removal of cardinals and regional bishops from all over the country, and it took the church half a month to come up with a complete blood change. After the Great Blood Change, the Chenxing Church can be said to be in the hands of Halifax from the center to the end, which is also beyond the reach of successive popes. In the past, there were always contradictions within the Church - the pope and the cardinals, the cardinals were often not united, restrained each other, and went their own way, and there were also disagreements between the three major institutions of the Great Temple, the Temple Guard, the Inquisition, and the Priesthood.

"Two years, we only have two years, and we must spread the followers of the Most High God to every corner of this continent, strictly speaking, everyone else except everyone here must become fanatical believers. In the secret room, the Pope sat on the throne, looking down at his cronies, his important subordinates, "If you complete the task, the heavens will give you a reward, and I will benefit, it says it all." ā€

Halifax got up from his seat, the two assistant priests pulled back a huge curtain to reveal a huge map, the Pope walked to the map and said: "From now on, a detailed battle plan must be formulated, my personal idea is to first solve the territory of the nobles, the Duchy of Seneh, and then through the fortress of Nevin, march north, destroy those small countries in the north, and finally consider the Misty Kingdom and other remote areas, I don't know such a step, do you have any opinions?"

Zimmer, the commander of the Temple Guards, is a standard soldier, and when it comes to grand strategy, he doesn't say a word, and only in specific battles will he express his unique intentions.

Kate, the chief high priest, asked, "My lord, since we have decided to attack the south and destroy those nobles, why don't we just crusade against the Misty Kingdom in the forest, those rebels are more hateful than the nobles, and maybe sometime, like Dunbar, will incite the people to revolt and bring an impact on the empire." ā€

"This question, let Hughes tell you, he has been in the Misty Kingdom for a long time and knows more about it. "But I have to state an important thing in advance, Lord Hughes is the intention of the heavenly realm to serve as the chief magistrate, and it is an encouragement to the clergy who have contributed, but except for you, no one knows that Lord Hughes is already in the Great Temple, and we declare to the public that he is dead, so this secret must not be revealed, otherwise it will bring great passivity to the church." ā€

Hughes said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been in Aegis City, that is, the capital of the Mist Kingdom for a while, and I can say unceremoniously that the economic strength and technical capabilities of the Mist Kingdom far exceed our empire, and although I don't know much about its army, it can be inferred that it is not an easy force to challenge." First of all, the Toby Chamber of Commerce in the Misty Kingdom has one or two branches in each city of the empire, engaged in various business activities, once the war starts, the property and funds of these branches will be immediately withdrawn and transferred, which will cause irreparable damage to the empire's economy, that is to say, without the Toby Chamber of Commerce now, the people may not even be able to live, so, from this point of view, we can't do anything to the Misty Kingdom. ā€

"Yes, we have experienced brutal civil wars and invasions, and the people of the Misty Kingdom have taken the opportunity to make war profits and become the economic pillars of the empire, and we need time to develop forces to replace them, not to break their bones again, you see?" Halifax said.

"In addition, the Misty Kingdom has long been on guard against our country, and they have built a tall fortification and war fortress along the course of the Luyin River, and we will face huge losses if we attack directly from the north to the south. Hughes added.

"Don't we have super-soldiers?" asked Kate.

"They have technology from goblins and gnomes, and those techniques are applied to defense that even super soldiers can't handle. Hughes said, "What's more, I heard that the Misty Kingdom is still developing into the ocean, and they are building warships and occupying the islands, that is to say, if we really capture the Misty Kingdom, we can't completely exterminate them, they can still retreat to the ocean and continue to entangle with us, and at that time, we have to worry about their attacks every day." ā€

"Therefore, it is better to stabilize this group of hillbillies first, let them be happy and happy in the forest for a while, after we occupy Seneh, we will go all out to the north, and after we have vast resources, we will unify the entire Lukai continent with overwhelming momentum. "The Pope is confident.

"My subordinates have a suggestion, although we don't attack the Misty Kingdom for the time being, and we can't let these rebels develop peacefully, it's better to think of a way to stimulate the contradictions between them and the western orcs, so that the half-orcs can march eastward and harass the Misty Kingdom, their defense line is mainly to defend us, but the west is very weak, if the orcs fight over, I think it will be difficult to defend. Zimmer came up with his idea.

"What a brilliant idea, even if the orcs fail to destroy the Mist Kingdom, it can severely weaken their strength. Halifax applauded, "General Zimmer, I'll leave this matter to you." ā€
