A group of generals in the camp of the commander of the HRE Imperial Kingdom discussed the next course of action, and finally Marshal Andersa made a decision. When all the generals had left, one remained in the marshal's tent.

"Your Majesty Nassau, thank you very much for your help to the HRE Empire today, without your help, we have no idea what terrible consequences would have been on the battlefield. Marshal Andessa said to Nassau.

If Chu Nan or the coachman were here, they would definitely feel that Nassau sitting in the chair was a little familiar.

That's right, it's Nassau, who organized Altyn before, and Nassau, who also ordered the knights of the Order to attack the dark mage.

It was also Nassau who ordered the Knights to attack the warring Valois army to rescue the cavalry of the HRE Empire.

Although Nassau helped the HRE Empire so much, Marshal Andesa did not have much peace of mind.

It's too weird, Nassau is the most powerful candidate for the next pope, although Nassau is also a member of the HRE Empire, but don't expect people in this era to have too much patriotic enthusiasm, not to mention that compared to the motherland, the Cross Church is the strongest faith in Nassau.

Archbishop of the Diocese of the Holy Empire, Cardinal of the Crusader of the Holy See, right-hand man of the Pope, in charge of the external affairs of the Holy See. He rose step by step from the locality, starting from the most ordinary clergy, serving as a priest in the pastoral district (an imperfect missionary area), that is, the commonly known priest, and then changed the area from an unidentified religion to a more complete pastoral district, a mission under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, and became a vicar.

He was then promoted to assistant vicar in charge of several or more districts, and finally to regional bishop. He is best known for becoming the Archbishop of the entire Archbishop of the Imperial Sect of the HRE.

It is rare in history for a person to serve as either a regional archbishop and a cardinal of the College of Cardinals. The Cardinals are the central body of the Holy See, and most of its members are stationed in the Cross City.

If we use the world of Chu Nan to make an easy explanation - then the archbishop is the leader of a province and a feudal official. The cardinals are the Central Political Bureau, the cardinal bishop is similar to the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, the cardinal priest is similar to the member of the Political Bureau, and the cardinal deacon is similar to the alternate member of the Political Bureau.

Is it reasonable for a feudal official to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau?

But Nassau did just that, and he was a hot figure in the Crusades. To be considered the next pope of the Crusader is already a foregone conclusion. There is no need to go through the "White Smoke of the Pope" selection at all.

The choice of the pope is decided by the cardinals, and if there is a suitable person for the new term, white smoke will be produced in the chimney of the Sistine Chapel to show that God's shepherd leader on earth has been produced, and if it is black smoke, it will prove that another election is needed.

This shows the popularity of Nassau.

But the arrival of such a "big man" in the army to help Andessa is not good news for Andessa.

Everyone knows that hundreds of years ago, the religious wars, or the religious revolutions, everyone has their own name, each country has a different name, maybe the name of this event is different, but in essence it refers to a historical event.

The history of the Crucifixion is cliché, like all religious stories. There was a unified Roland Empire on the Roland continent, spanning an area of 10 million square kilometers, with a population of more than 100 million, and all kinds of subjects under its subordinates, including nobles, free people, and of course, slaves, merchants, officials, and of course professional soldiers, emperors, citizens' councils, and senators, gladiators in the Colosseum, thieves stealing chickens and dogs, and rangers who practiced chivalry; magicians studied magic here, warriors invented powerful martial arts, generals trained their soldiers, humans, orcs, elves, and many other races……

This used to be a magical land, but the official belief of the empire is extremely free, integrating the polytheistic system of various peoples, the gods believed in by the emperor are different from those of his subordinates, but this does not prevent the emperor and his subordinates from building the country together, and the different races and beliefs between merchants can not stop the exchange of commerce.

However, the emergence of the Cross Religion in the East swept the spiritual beliefs of the empire like a storm in just a few hundred years, especially after the Holy Son County Order of the Cross Religion, which caused a large number of fanatical believers.

The Essenes who pursued freedom, the Zealots who zealously defended God's law and were also keen on all kinds of terrorist attacks, the ultra-radical faction of the Zeativ Party who hid a short knife under their cloak, the Sikari, the Pharisees, and the Sadducees......

It was the time of the apostles, and under the leadership of the Son, the apostles made the miracles of the cross religion spread throughout the earth. At the same time, the Crusades also oppose infant abandonment, infanticide, infant abuse, suicide, abortion, gladiators, homosexuality, adultery, the advancement of women, **, polygamy, and the emphasis on marital privacy. You must know that under the glorious and prosperous culture of the Roland Empire, it is a promiscuous private life, and many people's pots and pans have sexual X behaviors on their products, and what is even more bunker is that there are people who are like beasts in public......

Of course, it's more broadly compelled to target underage men, or men and men. Maybe the gods of the Cross religion are a little bored in the higher planes, and they have made a special rule that "men are fourteen years old, women are twelve years old" before they can get married, well, women are twelve years old.

Infant abandonment, infanticide, and infant abuse were even more common in the Roland Empire, where babies born with physical disabilities and girls drowned in water, and even wealthy families rarely raised more than one girl. And due to the chaos of private life, abortion became common in the Roland Empire.

Under the strong cultural aura of the Roland continent, there is naked discrimination against vulnerable groups. The philosopher and royal magician Plautus said, "You are harming a beggar by giving him food, but you have lost what you have given, prolonging his life and making him suffer more." ”

These regulations of the Cross Church have offended the people of the Roland Empire, which is completely contrary to their free life, especially the people of the upper class are even more disgusted with the Cross Church, and all kinds of persecution actions have never stopped.

However, with the support of the higher planes, the Crucifixion continued to perform miracles, created powerful warriors and priests, developed the lower routes, and made the poor people believe, and finally in 313 Emperor Constantine the Great recognized the legitimacy of the Crucifixion, ending the centuries-long persecution, and officially became the state religion of the Roland Empire in 392.

By now, the Roland Empire has been wiped out in the long river of history, and the nations established on his corpse all believe in the only true God, the gods of the Cross Church.

The church, on the other hand, began to intervene in politics and the state by a single spiritual leader, and when it came to its peak, the legitimacy of the lord of a country needed to be recognized by the pope, and even an emperor of the HRE imperial kingdom knelt in front of the Holy See for three days in order to make the church recognize his legitimacy.

What country can tolerate such unbridled meddling in politics? Centuries of humiliating church rule were finally challenged hundreds of years ago. The nations banded together to wage war against the Church and its lackeys, a war that lasted for decades, during which countless monarchs fell, bad news came out every day, and the sky was stained with the blood of dragons.

The Church finally succumbed and returned to the power of the secular monarch.
