Chapter VI: Repression
With great ability comes responsibility.
After quelling the rebellion at the Castle of the Blood Moon, Hudson continued to his next stop after explaining that the defenders were optimistic about the fainting fallen angel.
Before leaving, don't forget to seal these captives.
There is no way, there are too many places to ask for help.
Around the same time, thirteen xeno-plane creatures had landed in the kingdom, most of them in populated areas.
Hudson didn't know the specific law of adventurism, and the repression was right anyway.
……
Emerald Palace.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Hudson took action, put down the rebellion in the Blood Moon Castle, and captured twelve fallen angel captives!"
Listening to the report of the palace minister, Caesar IV breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now in my sleep, I received urgent calls for help from many places, as if a demonic disaster had befallen the earth overnight.
Even the royal capital had an undead natural disaster, but fortunately, there were a large number of masters in the royal capital, and the garrison was elite enough, so it did not cause a catastrophe.
Not locally.
Not every city is a military fortress like the Blood Moon Castle, and some cities with few garrisons have lost contact at this moment.
After a series of bad news, I finally received a good news, otherwise I would really not be able to live my life.
"What's the palace, you seem to have something to say?"
Caesar IV asked, confused.
"Your Majesty, news from the Castle of the Blood Moon is that in the midst of the battle against the fallen angels, Marshal Hudson is armed with the Holy Sword of Light.
Judging from the strength of the performance, at least it is the beginning of the Holy Domain, and even in the Holy Domain, it is also a strong one! ”
Earl Mitchell, the palace minister, replied with a solemn expression.
Whether it is the secret possession of the Bright Holy Sword or the amazing strength shown by Hudson, it is news that can shake the mainland.
From the standpoint of the kingdom, it is definitely a good thing to have such masters in the country.
But when it rests on the royal family, it's a little embarrassing. This means that Hudson, who is already in a high position, will further expand his influence in the kingdom after the war.
In addition to the shock, Caesar IV also had a hint of joy. If it hadn't been revealed in the middle of the war, Hudson wouldn't have known how long he would have been hiding.
The ministers are terrible, and the ministers who hide their strength are even more terrifying!
After a fierce ideological struggle, Caesar IV said helplessly: "These things, let it be as if nothing happened!"
After the news of the Bright Holy Sword was confirmed, let the Patriarch issue an announcement as a supplementary explanation for the aftermath. ”
It's rotten!
If you can't suppress it, then you simply don't bother to suppress it.
Encountering Hudson's perversion, Caesar IV really didn't want to face it head-on.
Originally, it was difficult enough to use soldiers like gods. The personal strength is also so powerful, it is completely impeccable!
Suppression, but also consider the consequences.
In case the game collapses and the two sides directly face each other, the royal family may not be able to win against the Coslow family led by Hudson.
Hudson has won many wars with a huge disparity in strength.
It's useless to summon the younger brother, and when you meet Hudson, the god of war, the morale of the army will fall off a cliff.
This is not facing the orcs, everyone must fight to the end.
I can't figure out the nobles below, just after meeting with others, they surrendered directly, and then went to participate in their celebration banquet.
The king can't beat the princes, and this kind of thing is nothing new in the continent of Aslanth.
Once the battle is lost, the royal family's face will be lost. If you want to command the whole country again, the difficulty will be +1+1......
Caesar IV did not want to take an adventure unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Your Majesty, you're right, it's really not time to make a fuss!"
Earl Mitchell nodded in agreement.
The kingdom needs unity!
There is still the great enemy of orcs outside, and the endless demonic disasters inside have not yet been solved, and they can't withstand the internal struggle at all.
As soon as the conversation between the two ended, a group of ministers in the court hurried over.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!
I have just received news from embassies in various places that there have been demonic disasters in various parts of the mainland.
Fallen Angels, Abyssal Demons, Undead Creatures, Demons......
A series of otherworldly creatures have descended all over the continent, and the whole continent is in chaos!
……”
After the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Omar, finished speaking, Caesar IV was directly confused.
The emotional victim is not just the Alpha Kingdom, but the entire Terran world that is in chaos together.
Next, it depends on the situation on the other side of the alien race, if the alien race is also unlucky, then the whole continent will be in chaos.
In an instant, the legend of the "Ten Thousand Years Tribulation" came to everyone's minds.
The rumors have only been around for a few years, and the calculation time is now close to the node of 10,000 years, and it is difficult not to let everyone connect the two things.
"Your Majesty, the situation is urgent.
It is necessary to let the garrison of the royal capital speed up the battle, and after suppressing the undead natural disaster, immediately dispatch experts to quickly reinforce other battlefields.
Your Majesty may order that the governors of the provinces should immediately mobilize the forces of the province to suppress these heretics. In the absence of the Governor-General, the military officer shall take his place.
If they are not in the country, let them publicly recommend a noble and respected nobleman to preside over the overall situation of quelling the chaos.
Authorize Field Marshal Hudson to command all the armies of the kingdom and be responsible for coordinating the domestic counter-unrest war! ”
The Prime Minister, Marquis Delgado, was the first to propose.
It can't be delayed, if it's really a 10,000-year catastrophe, referring to the few words on the excavation historical documents, what is happening now can be regarded as a side dish at most.
These civilian officials are not good at military affairs, so let those who have the ability to take charge.
The most important thing right now is to preserve the kingdom's vitality as much as possible and prepare for the next turmoil on the continent.
As for the question of the power of the ministers, he is the prime minister of the kingdom first, and then the prime minister of the king.
The pressure was all on Caesar IV, who had just held his breath, and now he had sent him another big wave.
But Caesar IV did not dare to act recklessly, and the negative teaching materials were around.
The unlucky guy next door, Joseph II, is just playing with political balance and playing with the country.
Seeing the horror of the dispute between the nobles of the east and west of the Warhammer Kingdom, the conflict between the north and the south of the Alpha Kingdom subsided.
Even if it is infighting, everyone tacitly constricts itself to the rules, and rarely engages in party unity and disagreement.
"Just do what the prime minister says!"
Caesar IV replied with a slight reluctance.
It was a compromise made purely for the sake of the overall situation, and there was some dissatisfaction with the Marquis delgado in his tone.
Everyone present tacitly pretended not to see it.
If you open the history books, you will find that there are few good relationships between the king and the prime minister. Even if there are cronies in the front, there will be contradictions in the back.
The innate opposition between the monarchy and the relative power makes the two have to contradict each other on many issues.
Now, for example, everyone knows that Prime Minister Delgado's proposal is the most in the interests of the kingdom, and Caesar IV has accepted it, but deep down he is unhappy.
There is a kind of thing: you are the prime minister I promoted, why do you just think from the perspective of the kingdom, and not from the standpoint of me, the king?
……
Frankish Empire, Royal Palace of Lutsia.
Charles III, who woke up from his sleep, looked at the emergency document in his hand, and it was angry.
More than 30 urgent letters for help in a row made it feel like the end of the world had come.
From the side, it can be seen how much the Holy See attaches great importance to the first power of the human race. Even if the power on the surface is expelled, so many nails are still planted in the secret.
"What's going on, why did so much happen last night?"
Charles III asked with a puzzled look on his face.
The arrival of ectopous creatures is nothing new.
The Frankish Empire is vast, and there will always be a few unlucky people who will be summoned every once in a while.
But these are small probability events, after all, summoners are not a mainstream profession.
"Your Majesty, the reason has not been found for the time being, and there are suspected traces of artificial summoning.
However, judging from the information collected, all the major forces on the mainland have been attacked by heterotopic creatures, and we have not yet found any hidden forces with such strong strength. ”
Duke Bergson, the prime minister, said with a depressed face.
The arrival of large-scale alien creatures has disturbed the empire, and they can't even find the reason.
The major forces that are suspected have been suspected again, but what is wrong with others is a bitter trick.
The Holy See is in trouble, but the power of the people is huddled, and even if the alien creatures descend, the damage caused is limited.
In order to act more likely, he even deliberately let the otherworldly creatures escape to the territory controlled by the coalition forces of various countries, causing trouble for the enemy by the way.
"Forget it, if you don't figure it out, you won't bother with it.
Immediately organize troops to suppress it, especially those places where Sanctuary monsters appear, they must be extinguished as soon as possible! ”
Charles III said murderously.
It could be seen that he was really angry. If you want to know who is behind the scenes, you have to break the corpse into pieces.
……
In the southeastern province, a young girl is fleeing with a small caravan, and there is a dying old man in the convoy.
Hunting geese all day long, and eventually being pecked by geese!
The Skeleton Saint Lord, who has played the summoning of the evil god many times, was also counterattacked this time. If it hadn't flashed fast enough, it would have become a snack for a creature summoned by himself.
Thinking about it, his face was depressed, as a hidden member of the Holy See, he never dreamed that the Holy See would play so ruthlessly.
As a devout follower of the Lord of the Dawn, the work of summoning fallen angels can only be left to others.
It's just that in recent years, the development of the Skeleton Society in the Northern Continent has been frustrated, especially in the power of the Alpha Kingdom.
The tasks assigned by the above are heavy, and the younger brother below is not enough, and the boss can only go in person.
For the sake of safety, the old man chose the Orderly Demon who pursued an equivalent exchange and personally presided over the summoning ceremony.
Not only is there a problem with the secret method given by the Holy See, but even the precious sacrificial materials provided above are also added.
The summoned abyss demons not only did not look at them differently, but instead went on a killing spree as soon as they met.
Relatively speaking, the old man is still lucky. This time, only a group of high-level demons were summoned, and there were no demon kings at the level of the Holy Realm.
After fighting hard, he was lucky enough to pick up a life, but he had to embark on a flight again.
He is either engaged in sabotage in his life, or he is a cult leader on the road of sabotage, and what he hopes most at this moment is that the Alpha Kingdom can quell the demon disaster as soon as possible.
Irony, there is no way.
Perhaps because of the inferior sacrifices, he was hated by the demons he had summoned, and he chased after him all the way.
If it weren't for the nobles along the way, who instinctively organized an army to encircle and suppress the demons, he would have been cold a long time ago.
"Guna, grandpa is being targeted by the devil and can't leave.
The mainland is about to be in chaos!
Once you're out of here, use your talents to find a paradise and settle down! ”
The old man said kindly.
If it weren't for the bloodshot at the corners of his mouth, it would be similar to an ordinary grandfather and grandson.
"Grandpa, you'd better heal quickly!
Those demons have been blocked, and our current location is in the Southeastern Province, and beyond that is the territory of the legendary marshal.
Those demons, if they dare to chase after them, they must first ask the defenders if they agree!"
The girl said indignantly.
These demons are so hateful that they chase them all the way.
If it weren't for her innate talent for avoiding evil and changing her escape route in time, the group would have become food for the demons long ago.
The main reason is that the main force of the private army of the nobles in various places is not in the country, and the strength left behind is seriously insufficient, otherwise those demons will not be able to succeed all the way.
Fortunately, everyone was too busy slaying demons to pay attention to their fugitive team, otherwise the plague god's hat would have been buckled long ago.
If you look closely, the escape route chosen by the girl is full of powerful nobles along the way.
It was with the power of these nobles that the demons were left behind.
Guna, who didn't know the truth, was angry, but the Skeleton Lord was embarrassed. He caused the trouble, and now he is only paying for his actions.
Deep down, he already hated the Holy See higher-ups.
He has worked hard for the Holy See for decades, and has made countless contributions and hard work of all ethnic groups.
It's a pity that the treatment given to him is actually a high-level "cannon fodder".
If nothing else, after this operation, the forces hidden in the shadows of the Holy See will be severely damaged, or even directly extinguished.
The losses were so heavy that they were just to kill them.
If the power that cannot see the light is gone, then it is equivalent to not participating in these things that cannot see the light.
"Guna, the demon is not far from our location. Are you sure you can take me with you and you can get away? ”
The old man asked solemnly.
To be alive, who wants to die!
He is a person who is determined to re-establish the Holy See, if he dies so easily, how can he complete his life's pursuit?
Suddenly, the official road shook. A strong cavalry force appeared in the sky, and the deafening sound of hooves resounded through the sky.
Looking from afar, you can vaguely see the dragon and bear battle flags fluttering in the wind.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
The old man endured his injuries and said.
The Coslow family's cavalry legion has appeared, which means that the previous demonic plague is coming to an end.
It's just that the old man's mood is not high, and if he picks up a life by luck, it doesn't mean that the matter is over.
As long as someone wants to check, it is easy to find out that something is wrong with their team.
There are many ways to track him in the Aslant Continent, and it is not impossible to trace him down.
The crimes involved this time are too big, and once the news spreads, the forces of the whole continent will not be able to spare him.
If it weren't for the fear that the impact of the aftermath would be too great, it is estimated that the Holy See would not have done such a desperate thing.
Even his own people are pitted, not only to extinguish their mouths, but also to make a cut with these shady cult organizations.
This is not the same as it used to be.
The declining Holy See, even if it survives the current catastrophe, must keep a low profile,
If you hook up with a cult again, it will be dangerous.
If you are not careful, you will be labeled as "degenerate" and "heretical".
When they are strong, these charges are nothing; When it is declining, it can send people to the barbecue.
After the old man reminded him, the convoy immediately vacated the road, lest it block the way of the army and cause trouble for the caravan.
The lucky ones are a minority, and except for a very few who can pick up a small life from the summoning, most of the participants are dead.
Those who survived are now also frightened birds, and they have gone into hiding.
lest he expose his identity and invite the disaster of annihilation.
……
In the clouds, Maxim has been transformed into an air carrier.
In addition to Hudson, the dragon knight, he was accompanied by a group of masters of the kingdom.
The era of single-handedly fighting the world has passed, and if you want to calm down this chaos quickly, you naturally have to rely on the strength of the group.
As the commander-in-chief, Hudson naturally will not let the masters of the kingdom go and bear all the pressure alone.
Hudson's heart became heavy after learning about the specific situation.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight.
The main force of the kingdom is not in the country, but the outbreak of the demon disaster at this moment is not a clear statement that it will make everyone suffer heavy losses!
To make matters worse, the kingdom is in the midst of reform, and when this happens, it is likely to be a turning point in the battle between conservatives and reformers.
"Marshal, the demonic calamity has been pacified by a third, why are you still depressed?"
Patriarch Tyranny, who was traveling with him, asked suspiciously.
As the religious leader of the kingdom, it is natural to show that the suppression of heresy should be performed.
Perhaps because they each hold a Holy See's inheritance artifact, the relationship between the two is much closer than the last time they met.
"Patriarch, I'm afraid the matter is far from over. The demonic plague in the kingdom has been controlled, but the demonic plague in various parts of the continent is getting worse, especially in the Terran countries.
I have carefully analyzed the outbreak of demonic disasters in various places, and basically they are all areas of activity of cult organizations. The more prosperous the cult is, the more serious the disaster.
It stands to reason that when such a change has occurred, those cult organizations that believe in evil gods should come out and take advantage of the fire to rob them, but where is there any trace of the cult now? ”
Abnormal calm is the biggest abnormality.
After listening to Hudson's explanation, Patriarch Taylor's face also became gloomy. In his opinion, the cult organization has not moved, and it must be holding back its big moves.
The current situation on the mainland is chaotic enough, and if we add another fire to it, I am afraid that many small countries will not be able to survive.
What's worse is that the hardest hit of this wave is the Terrans!
Alien races, although there have also been demonic disasters, but the situation is far less tragic than that of human races.
"Marshal, are you suspecting that these heretical creatures were summoned by the cult?"
With that, Patriarch Taylor became more and more sure of his guess.
At the very least, the group of fallen angels came very abnormally, more like they had just fallen.
