The southern continent finally ushered in the long-lost peace, and by the beginning of March, there were no more major wars. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The civil war was eliminated, and the external invasion retreated. The city of Sidwu was conquered by the Church, and the uproar caused by the Union of Freedom and Equality was brutally suppressed, and the Duchy of Godopotan was wiped out, leaving only the Duchy of Seneh barely supported.

The princes of Sehne collectively pleaded with the Church for forgiveness, and after negotiations, the two sides were temporarily reconciled. The Church agreed not to hold Alik and others accountable, not to strip or lower their titles, and never to deprive them of the land they owned, but that the entire duchy must unconditionally promote the faith, establish temples, support the Church of the Stars, and pay exorbitant taxes.

Of course, both sides know what the concessions of the Church in this negotiation mean, it is not capable of launching another battle, even if it hates Alik and the others, it can only recognize their status and demands, and the Yamelo Empire needs to recuperate and regain strength. In the future, all the promises made today will be a piece of waste paper, reckoning, or sooner or later.

So Seneh, although he was respectful enough on paper, would try to find all sorts of reasons why he could not keep his promise.

Sometimes politics is so funny, knowing that both sides know that negotiations are meaningless, but they take it seriously to the end, openly write down a bunch of lies, and then go back to their own calculations.

During the war, most of the politicians retreated to the background, becoming idle and insignificant, only the military in the world was showing off their might, and they could only itch their teeth at home, but when peace came, they began to dance again, and became the clowns with the most drama at this time.

The clowns are simply pervasive, and perhaps after a period of rest, they are so energetic that they now bite everywhere and attack everything they can.

First of all, the main war faction fiercely attacked the main peace faction, believing that those who wanted to make the Japanese empire withdraw their troops through land reparations were simply traitors and should all be arrested and sentenced to death. The second is that the followers who supported the establishment of Pope Haino ridiculed and ridiculed those who supported Halifax in the past, spitting that they were simply blind and could not see the guidance of God's will. There was also a debate over whether or not to preserve the Imperial Family, and there was also a lot of debate over what foreign policy to adopt towards the Japanese Empire.

The church has also become a pot of porridge, and those who claim to have wisdom have ugly faces, and they plan to be (lewd) after eating. A certain assistant priest wrote a strategy of tens of thousands of words and handed it to the Pope, saying that if he followed his plan, he could recover the Duchy of Senech without a bloody army in a month, and the strategy became the material for heating in the fireplace. Not to be outdone, a certain priest felt that he should now take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack the Sun Empire, as long as the army held the portrait of St. Ossidine, it would be invincible, and as a result, he was scolded by the high priest Freeman.

Heino has long realized that under the current church system, there is a large group of waste who have nothing to provoke and dodge, who enjoy high salaries all their lives, but do imbecile things, and if this continues, the faith will be powerless, the army will have no combat power, and the country's finances will be empty, and perhaps it is time to carry out church reform, not only the church will change, but the entire national system will change.

After several heads of state of study and consultation, Heino issued the first new decree after the war.

First, the royal family was retained as a national symbol, but the royal family did not participate in any specific political affairs, and all administrative institutions under its jurisdiction belonged to the church.

Second, the head of the administrative body is appointed by the Church, and his subordinates must be a specified number and cannot be redundant, and no more than three advisers to the think tank of any chief shall be appointed and dismissed according to their political merits.

Third, the clergy at the priesthood and below were not allowed to participate in politics, but could only preach the faith and devote their lives to evangelism. The bishop of the region may not have the executive and military power of the region, and the faithful shall appoint and dismiss him, depending on his development.

Fourth, all legions in the Yamelo Empire are directly under the command of the church, all city defense troops are directly under the command of the city lord, and the regional bishop has no right to interfere. Regional security is the responsibility of the Public Security Agency. Appointments and dismissals are based on their military achievements.

The new decree is basically the above four contents, when Pope Haino was reformed, he did not let the son of God Cumberland participate in the discussion, but only notified the chief judge who was studying and cultivating afterwards, and explained to him, saying that the arms of the empire will be under the jurisdiction of the head of the temple guard regiment in the future, and since Cumberland is still in the growth stage, he will be temporarily represented by the deputy head of the regiment.

Cumberland, who is also the chief of the inquisition and the head of the temple guards, can only nod, he does not know about government and military affairs, and everything can only be arranged by the Pope at present.

Brian soon received the New Decree from the Undercurrent Guild, and he opened the Mirror Crystal, found Besmo, and read the decree to hear his opinion.

"My lord, it's ...... Obviously, this means a complete separation of the military, politics, and religion, that is, the Pope's subordinates do not ...... You can no longer wear many hats and sit on great power. Besimo still stammered, "a certain degree of mutual checks and balances, allowing power to be completely concentrated in the upper echelons of the church." ”

"In other words, the bishop of the region does not have as much power as before, and I can no longer have military and administrative power?"

"Yes, in that way, someone wants to ...... If you want to rebel, if you want to fight against the church, it will be very difficult. Besimo explained, "This time the church is ...... However, with a large amount of money, unprecedented changes were made, abolishing the lifelong system of officials and adopting the ...... appointment and dismissal, and to a certain extent streamlining redundant personnel, Haino is a little ...... A bit of courage and insight. ”

"How do I respond to the New Deal?" Brian asked.

Besimo was silent for a moment and said, "Take the initiative...... Take the initiative to resign, hand over the fief and title, resign as the bishop of the region, become invisible, and return to the ...... Back in the forest. ”

"Okay, I see. Brian closed the crystal, thought carefully for a while, and decided to write a long letter to the pope, expressing his willingness to hand over all power, and because the fief was already desolate, there was no way to develop believers, so even the regional bishops were not competent, and they were only willing to do some business to make money, hoping to get approval.

The matter of moving south is basically coming to an end, Toby Town and Maple Town have been demolished to pieces, presumably the church is to send people again, seeing this scene, there is no interest in this place, so I can do it without paying attention, and take advantage of the opportunity to develop more rapidly.

On March 15, 438 A.D., the Pope granted Brian's request to resign from all positions, and Brian left the Viscount's Court for Aegis City to begin his true journey in life.
