The Bear Imperial Court, listening to the complaints of the orc high-level, Delith was speechless.

Everything is caused by strength, and the orcs are not strong enough, so they deserve to be beaten.

When you are the boss, you will only cover your obedient little brother. Ten years ago, the orc empire was second only to the elves in terms of comprehensive strength in the alliance, so naturally it would not be safe to be a junior brother.

Now that the strength is weak, forced to survive, the orcs have lowered their arrogant heads. But the younger brother doesn't want to be it, so he can be it.

There is no love and hate for no reason, and the value of orcs to the elves is limited to containing the Alpha Kingdom.

It was enough to leave this nail, and it was pure dreaming to want the elves to fully support them.

"Well, I know what you're talking about. On the Terran side, we have warned them that their Sanctuary will not take action lightly in the future.

You better hurry up and open the Inheritance Holy Land and cultivate your own Sacred Domain master as soon as possible! ”

Delis pretended to be calm.

If you lose a fight, you can't say anything. The strong also want to save face, and they can't expose their black history.

"Venerable, but the enemy did not leave directly, but continued to ravage the grassland, without ...... at all."

Before the Bear Emperor could finish speaking, Dai Lisi interrupted, "Did their Sanctuary powerhouse make a move?"

If we break the rules, we will; If people don't move, it's a regular conflict. ”

Hearing this answer, the orc high-ranking people were directly angry and half dead.

"Conventional conflict", isn't this a lie!

If it weren't for the Sanctuary Dragon acting as a transport plane, with the normal speed of human movement, they would have been blocked on the prairie long ago.

If the powerhouses of the Sanctuary do not take action to participate in the war, they will mobilize tens of thousands of elite troops to besiege them, which will definitely make Hudson and his party suffer heavy losses.

Encircle and suppress a few more times, and if you don't get it right, the group will be wiped out. It is simply impossible to let them go so far.

It's a pity that the Sanctuary in the Anti-Human Alliance seems to have deliberately forgotten the role played by the Sanctuary Dragon, and only saw that the strength of the person who shot it did not reach the Sanctuary.

wanted to open his mouth to argue, but when the words came to his mouth, the bear emperor swallowed it back. The decisions made by the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm are by no means something that can be changed in a few words.

Judging from the route of action, Hudson and his party have already left the sphere of influence of the Bear Court, and they are on the way back, so they can't worry about others.

Now the most panicked is King Beamon, as the neighbor of the Hada Demon King, who happened to be in the way of others. If you don't send a few more forbidden spells, you're sorry for the "friendly" neighborly relationship between the two sides.

However, the current Beamon clan is all here to make up the numbers, even if King Beamon speaks, it doesn't make any sense.

Within the empire, everyone refuses to buy it, and you can't expect the elves to buy his account, right?

The Alliance doesn't want to make a fuss, so the orcs have to face reality. The root of all the problems was planted a hundred years ago, and now it is only for the decisions of our ancestors to pay.

……

It was a stop-and-go process until the mage regiment was drained before the strategic strike ended.

The specific record may only be a few hundred thousand, but the political impact brought by it is unparalleled.

When the procession arrived in the royal capital, Caesar IV had already come out with a group of princes and nobles to greet them, and everyone was smiling.

As the protagonist, Hudson clearly senses that his king's smile is somewhat unnatural. I don't have to say, there is a high probability that he caused the problem.

"Meritorious master" is a very tricky thing for any monarch.

What's worse is that the heroes of the "Shock Lord" are not very obedient and often take the king's orders as wind in their ears.

Before the operation began, everyone said that the mission goal: to destroy the Orc Empire Inheritance Holy Land.

When it came time to implement it, except for the task itself, everything else was done very well.

A brilliant victory, which covered up all the problems. Even if he knew it was disobedience, Caesar IV couldn't say anything.

Picking on thorns at such times can only prove how innocent his previous plan was.

The short gaffe flashed by, and behind the brilliant victory, there were also countless crises.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is the artifact issue, the orcs all know that the Glory Scepter is in the hands of the Alpha Kingdom, and it is estimated that the Holy See will know about it in a few days.

There is no such thing as a compromise, and even if the artifact is returned to the Holy See, people will not appreciate it.

If you want to legalize the possession of artifacts for a long time, the only way is to establish another papacy. Just this step is equivalent to a declaration of war on the Holy See.

The political influence is greater than that of the previous separate papacy in the Frankish Kingdom, and with the inheritance artifact in hand, it is completely possible to act in the name of the Lord of the Dawn.

Once the cards are revealed, the legitimacy of the Holy See will inevitably be fully impacted, and then the two sides will be enemies of life and death, and there will be no room for any relaxation.

Compared with such major events related to the life and death of the kingdom, the "meritorious master" can only be regarded as pediatric. Even if he knew that the boasting would further enhance Hudson's prestige, Caesar IV could only admit it.

In this tough battle, the whole kingdom must work together.

The current grand ceremony is not only a celebration to welcome the heroes, but also to show off the kingdom's strength to the outside world, and by the way, it also links the alliance of the five nations.

Hudson didn't like this kind of solemn celebration at all. There are princes and nobles everywhere, and the eye-catching noble ladies can't be seen.

For others, this highest ceremonial welcome banquet is an honor, and resting on Hudson's body is a waste of time.

I come once after every big war, and everyone gets bored after experiencing more. This kind of "happy" trouble, the whole kingdom only Hudson has.

If there was a choice, Caesar IV would have pretended not to know, but there was no way.

If the king did not express this brilliant victory, all the princes and ministers of the court and the military would not agree.

Compared with the past, this celebration banquet is still much special.

As soon as the banquet began, Hudson and the six Sacred Domain powerhouses gathered together to exchange cultivation experiences, ignoring the guests at all.

Different circles have different rules of the game. The circle of the top powerhouses in the mainland values strength, but the status is not worth mentioning.

Anyone present can get the treatment of a great nobleman in any country, which is completely different from the nobles who rely on their ancestors outside.

Mixed into the circle of the strong, Hudson can only listen to these guys communicate. As a Seventh-Order Magister/Earth Knight, he does not have the ability to participate in discussions for the time being.

Hudson didn't speak, but Bear Stearns and Maxim joined the discussion. Every Sanctuary powerhouse has their own unique perspective on the rules, and Warcraft is no exception.

With so many Sacred Domain powerhouses doing exchanges together, if they sell tickets, this place will definitely be blown up, and the group of eighth-order powerhouses outside are willing to go bankrupt and rush inside.

However, it is a pity that the idea of teaching and classless is not popular in the continent of Aslanth. Any knowledge involved in cultivation here is precious and must not be given to others lightly.

Unless they are blood relatives, outsiders are not qualified to study at all.

As an auditor, Hudson listened to the clouds, but the gain was still not small.

It's not how much he savvy, it's mainly that he can ask questions!

Maybe he values his status as a magic potion master, or maybe because of the affection of his comrades-in-arms, everyone takes care of Hudson very much during the exchange, and almost answers every question.

For Hudson, who is all on his own, such an exchange is crucial.

A few people who communicated went up and directly forgot the banquet time, which made it difficult for the guests attending the banquet outside.

Not all guests are strong and can spend a lot of time at the banquet. It's just this special celebration banquet, the protagonist doesn't come out, and everyone can't end it.

"Your Majesty, this has been going on for a day and a night, why don't you send the drunk guests back to rest first?"

Chancellor Newfoundland Archduke euphemistically proposed.

On such a solemn occasion, it is naturally impossible to get drunk. But if you want to leave early, you have to find a suitable excuse.

Maybe the powerhouses of the Holy Domain inside won't care about this, but in terms of etiquette, the kingdom can't help but abide by it.

"So be it!"

Caesar IV said a little tiredly.

I knew that these Sacred Domain powerhouses were so able to talk, so I should have arranged an exchange meeting for them alone, instead of pulling them to the celebration banquet.

It's useless to regret it, the discussion inside is on the rise, and if you run over to disturb at this time, you're pulling hatred.

"Wait, arrange for someone to set up a simple rest room in the palace, and arrange for everyone to take turns to go over and sober up."

Caesar IV then added.

The game of his own group will be carried out with tears.

Now I can only hope that these Sacred Domain powerhouses will not communicate for ten days and half a month at a time, otherwise this drama will not be easy to perform.

It turned out that Caesar IV thought too much. The powerhouses of the Sanctuary can go without food or drink for ten days and a half, but Hudson, who is mortal in the flesh, can't stand it.

At midnight the next day, a few people who were still unsatisfied walked out of the side hall and continued to participate in the celebration banquet, as if they were not aware of the passage of time.

……

The next day, I slept until noon. Hudson, who had just opened his eyes, was invited to the palace to discuss matters.

Without any surprises, there are only two "artifacts" and "Holy See" on topic.

Listening to the speeches of the nobles, Hudson finally understood why Caesar IV would rather wear black circles under his eyes and persist until a group of Sanctuary powerhouses came out of it.

If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.

Just to show the importance of the kingdom is not enough to make a king fight so hard, the real purpose is to pull the alliance of five countries to establish a separate papacy.

There is no doubt that the powerhouses of the Holy Realm are members of the decision-making level in any major force, and the right to speak is far from being comparable to that of an envoy stationed abroad.

Instead of engaging in constantly tearing diplomatic negotiations, it is better to directly publicize the decision-making levels of various countries. Even if the powerhouses of the Holy Realm are transcendent and no longer participate in politics, no one can ignore their position.

"Your Majesty, getting rid of the Holy See's control of faith is the common pursuit of the magnates of various countries, but if you want the four countries to support us in establishing another Holy See, the key is to look at interests.

It is not advisable to involve too many secular people in the religious issues we are talking about, and it is better to directly promise them religious benefits.

The new papacy created by the Franks was loose enough, and everyone did not defect to the past. If we want to win over the support of the four countries, unless we can give greater benefits. ”

As soon as Hudson's words were finished, Archbishop Tyranny's face darkened. Friendship is friendship, and interests are interests.

allies, and not unconditional support. In particular, sensitive religious issues have attracted much attention.

Hudson's words also represented the thoughts of most of the secular aristocracy in the kingdom. There is no problem in asking everyone to support the establishment of a separate papacy, but the price of winning the support of allies will be paid by the new papacy, and the secular aristocracy is not prepared to pay.

A little benefit is obviously not enough. The only way to get the support of all countries is to cede the power of some of the core management of the Holy See.

Once a compromise is made in this regard, then the Alpha family will become a separate Holy See, and the five separate Holy Sees, all of whom will be shareholders in this new Holy See.

There is no doubt that the addition of four more shareholders with decision-making power will certainly weaken the interests of the indigenous religious sect, led by Archbishop Tyrann.

"Marshal Hudson, if the four nations are involved, who will have the final say?

If we can't get the management of the new papacy, what is the point of us setting up this new papacy?

Anyway, there is an interracial alliance in the middle, under the banner of the Frankish Holy See, and it will not affect our interests.

In that case, we could sell the Scepter of Glory in our hands for a good price and bring the kingdom out of the financial deficit! ”

Chancellor Archduke Newfoundland questioned.

As a member of the royal family, he must prioritize the interests of the royal family. According to the plan, after the establishment of a separate Holy See, Archbishop Tyrann, a member of the royal family, will become the pope.

The future royal family will combine religious and secular power, and establish the supremacy of the royal family in the country in one fell swoop.

"Prime Minister, although the power of the artifact is huge, it only adds a deterrent to the kingdom, and for this reason, it has to compete with the Holy See.

If the Franks bid high enough to sell them the Scepter of Glory, it would not be entirely impossible to consider.

In this way, we will not only be freed from the hatred of the Holy See, but we will also be able to solve the Kingdom's financial problems. ”

Duke Hiro said with a smile.

Knowing that the prime minister was talking the opposite, he still jumped out to do it with such a clear show that this was no longer a simple political disagreement, but a game between the big nobles and the royal power.

Concealing the Scepter of Glory, you can ignore it. But the royal family's desire to take theocracy into its pockets is absolutely unacceptable to all parties.

Otherwise, in the future, because of interests and the royal family, wouldn't he be directly labeled as a heretic?

It seems that Duke Hiro is proposing to sell the Scepter of Glory, but in fact it is the common idea of all the great nobles.

No matter how good the artifact is, it can't be controlled by one's own family. Rather than staying in the hands of the royal family and threatening their own safety, it is better to take it out in exchange for benefits.

"Your Excellency the Duke is right, what the kingdom lacks most now is not an ethereal Holy See, the key is to solve the financial problem as soon as possible.

Now that the Orc Empire has been devastated, it is the perfect time for the kingdom to fall this old enemy, and as long as we get out of the financial crisis, we can prepare for the Crusade.

Just a artifact, give it up, give it up. As long as our strength is strong enough, even if we don't have a heritage artifact, we can still set up another Holy See! ”

The words of the Marquis de Zuel completely ignited the storm.

The two nobles, one in the south and one in the north, expressed their positions at the same time, which is equivalent to representing the common idea of the nobles of the north and the south.

Glancing at the courtiers, from the determined eyes of the vassals, Caesar IV saw trouble.

originally thought that Hudson's proposal would be very pitiful, but I didn't expect that these big nobles in China would not be soft at all when it comes to pit the royal family.

Nominally, it seems that Hudson handed over the kingdom after obtaining it, and the royal family seems to have paid nothing, but in fact, secretly the royal family has paid countless costs.

The rise of the great nobles is not smooth sailing, and behind the smooth rise of the Coslow family, someone is indispensable to escort it.

Sometimes targeting does not mean that you have to do it with real knives and guns, and suppression in secret is the norm.

For example, if you want to buy grain, there is a shortage of food in the market; If you want to buy cloth, the cloth in the market will be sold out......

Another example: at a certain key node that needs to be traded, business travelers suddenly disappear and never come to the door again.

……

In an era when resources are monopolized, it is too easy to target a new aristocracy.

If you want to break the game, the best option is to get the support of a big nobleman in advance, so that everyone knows that there is no point in lockdown.

In a sense, the rapid development of the Coslow family is also supported by the royal family.

The only problem is that Hudson jumped a little fast, and his prestige soared all the way, allowing the Coslow family to gain a firm foothold in the circle of great nobles, and it was faintly out of control.

"Enough!"

"The Scepter of Glory can fall into the hands of the Kingdom, and that is the generous gift of the Lord of the Dawn, how can it be traded with men.

Today we are going to discuss how to gain the support of the four countries, and we are not listening to your bad ideas. As a devout believer, I will not allow anyone to insult my faith!

Countless believers of the Lord of the Dawn in the country are watching us! I don't want to hear this blasphemy anymore! ”

Caesar IV scolded.

If you can't talk about interests, then talk about faith. In this theocratic world, except for the fanatical arcanists, no nobleman dares to blaspheme the gods.

"Your Majesty, if you want the four countries to support us in establishing another Holy See, the best choice is actually to make them your own.

The diocese was divided into five, five patriarchs were introduced, and the religious affairs of each country were handled by each country itself.

It just so happened that the Sanctuary sent by the four countries had not yet left, so he simply had a showdown with them and invited the four of them to serve as the patriarchs of the diocese of the four countries.

If other countries join in the future, they can also continue to add a patriarch, so as to save themselves from fighting for power and profit. ”

Hudson said ruthlessly.

Some teams have to stand, but his status is special, and he can neither fully support the royal family, nor can he directly lead to the aristocratic camp.

As a last resort, then you can only make a bad move. According to Hudson's plan, the Religious Crown got it, but not completely.

The five pastoral capitals have come out, and all the work is done, so what else does the pope do?

The difference between the Holy See without a Pope and the Holy See with a Pope is not just a name, but a completely different political status.

In the continent of Aslanth, the Pope is the only one and the only one, with supreme power. To say that you are blasphemous is blasphemy.

In contrast, the Patriarch is far from being the archbishop with much more power. If there are too many blind coercions, everyone can raise their fists and greet them.

In a word, life and death are the power of the Pope alone.

If eyes could kill, Archbishop Tyron would have torn Hudson to pieces. Yesterday everyone was still good friends, and today we are going to cut off his papal path, which is simply not a son of man.

"Your Excellency Marshal, the Holy Land sent by Shikoku is not a clergyman, how can he serve as a ......?"

Before Archbishop Taryn could finish speaking, Hudson forcibly interrupted: "Your Excellency, since we are going to establish a new Holy See, we cannot be as traditional as before.

They are all followers of the Lord of the Dawn, and who has decreed that those who hold the priesthood must be clergy?

These are all bad habits that hinder the progress of the times, and they are all left by the corrupt Holy See to fool the world.

The great Lord of the Dawn is inclusive, and all believers have the right to serve the gods, and no one can take it away! ”

As he spoke, Hudson looked at Archbishop Talan with a hint of apology in his eyes. There is no way, this wave can only be sorry for friends.

The news of the artifact has leaked out. The king was now determined to leave the Scepter of Glory, and for this reason he buttoned up his blasphemous hat.

The position of the aristocratic group is also very clear, that is, it is determined not to allow the royal family to control the Holy See.

If we continue to make trouble, the situation will get out of control. In order to resolve the dispute, Hudson had to intervene.

As the price of mediating the dispute, Archbishop Taryn's papal dream was directly shattered.

The pattern of the five patriarchs was laid, and the dioceses of the five countries sat on an equal footing, even if they held artifacts, they were at most half a block high. If you want to be the pope, to be the other four patriarchs is a dead man!
