Holy Roman Empire, Imperial Capital, St. Paul!
On a huge palace made of white jade, one or two bells rang from time to time, and the bells rang melodiously and spread in all directions.
In the luxurious palace hall, it is incomparably wide, the huge pillars, dozens of people can't hug it, and the colorful glass windows shine on the ground.
In front of the window, a huge cross stands high, and in the cross, an angel with wings is carved.
This is the highest center of power in the Holy Roman Empire, on the throne, the middle-aged man wearing a golden crown, wearing a red robe, and holding a golden cane is the twenty-seventh emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Charles XXVII, below him, there are dozens of ministers, these guys who are full of fat, all of them are Guizhou titles, but these nobles are not interested in state affairs except for making money and playing with women, and some guys have already snored blatantly.
Charles XXVII held a war report in his hand, his hand trembling incessantly, and his beard beating slightly, it was a war report from the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Southern Expeditionary Army was completely annihilated, and the commander Mechin was captured, and he made a demand to redeem himself.
"Who can sue me! Who can sue me, what the fuck is going on?" said Charles XXVII, desperately suppressing his anger, "what about my army of half a million, and what about my brother Mechette? How could there be none...... Who the fuck can sue me ......"
His Majesty Charles XXVII made a rare foul mouth, which should not have been the case in terms of his cultivation.
Seeing that His Majesty was angry, those ministers seemed to wake up from a dream, but these people, you look at me, I look at you, and none of them took the initiative to come out and answer.
The atmosphere inside the palace was somewhat suffocating.
"You are all dumb!" said Charles, who was furious, and he stood up sharply, and threw the battle report in his hand fiercely, "Who told me that my army of 500,000 men would soon be able to extinguish the Ebian rebellion?
The majesty of the emperor is fully revealed, and it is different from the enthusiasm before the original expedition, now all the ministers dare not breathe, the movement of the 500,000 army is very large, and the materials required are simply heavenly, which naturally becomes the fat meat for all parties to compete for, but what Charles XXVII does not know is that a large part of the gold coins of the empire fell into their pockets.
At this time, the battle report was impartial, and it happened to float to the feet of the emperor's minister.
But the fat fellow, who looked like a pig, pretended not to see it, and turned his head away, and the ministers were very smart, and no one wanted to touch his moldy head when His Majesty was angry.
But the sharp-eyed Charles XXVII saw it, and he snorted coldly, "Mallory, tell me about it!"
The minister named Mallory couldn't pretend not to see it at this time, he was the military minister, and the battle report happened to float at his feet.
Mallory saw the gloating eyes around him at this time, and he was very helpless, so he had to pick up the battle report and pretend to look at it a few times.
"Your Majesty, this battle report clearly states that the reason why our southern expedition army lost was because we ignored one of the most important things, that is, we didn't know that there was actually a Sacred Realm powerhouse as their guardian among those Ebian rebels!" said the Minister of Military Affairs, Mallory.
"Sacred Realm powerhouse?" Majesty Charles XXVII was taken aback, "Is it an orc?" or a sacred realm demonic beast?"
"No, he's a human!" Mallory shook his head, "As soon as that Sanctuary powerhouse appeared, he destroyed the city of Amufa on the border between the empire and Ebia, and burned the grain there.
Mallory said very sensationally, he knew that only in this way can he reduce his responsibility to the lowest point, no matter where he is an official, the principle is the same, the achievements must be snatched, and the responsibility must be cleared.
In order to better control the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy See stipulates that every genius who is strong or will become a strong person in the Holy See will definitely join the Holy See and accept the jurisdiction of the Holy See, which makes Charles XXVII quite helpless.
The Holy Roman Empire's southern expedition was essentially an imperial administrative act, and nominally, the Holy See sent personnel to supervise the war, and it stands to reason that the elimination of the scattered Ebian rebels and the restoration of order in some parts of Ebia should have been a matter of nine out of ten things.
Unexpectedly, a Sanctuary powerhouse appeared in the Ebian Rebellion.
It was reversed, and even Charlie Twenty-Seven didn't expect that the powerhouses of the Holy Realm could play such an important role in the war.
Charles XXVII's eyes narrowed, "Who is this Sacred Domain powerhouse? What kind of profession does he dare to help the Ebia Rebellion against us, aren't they afraid of the Holy See's retaliation?"
"According to reliable sources, this is a newly promoted Sanctuary powerhouse, whose name is Ron, and it seems to be ...... It's like a necromancer!"
"What?necromancer?" exclaimed Charles XXVII, "Mallory, a necromancer has become a Sanctuary powerhouse and destroyed my city of Amofa?
Mallory moved his mouth, and was about to speak, when a waiter hurriedly ran over, "It's not good, Your Majesty, there's another battle report ahead!"
The waiter opened the battle report and was about to present it, when Charles XXVII waved his hand, "Just say it there!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the waiter replied, stood where he was, opened the battle report and read it.
When a detailed battle report was read, everyone in the hall was stunned.
"What? The province of Ebia in the Holy Roman Empire was founded under the protection of the Church of the Catastrophe?"
"It's not legal, it's definitely not legal, I can't allow this to happen!"
"What can we do if we don't let it happen? Even our Southern Expeditionary Army has failed!"
The bad news cast a shadow over everyone's faces, and some of the ministers became even more indignant, threatening to kill all the Ebian rebels.
But what's the use of this? In the province of Ebia, a powerful wave of uprisings broke out in almost all the cities, and those old citizens of Ebia, under the attack of the Ebian army, opened the gates of the city inside and outside to welcome the arrival of the Ebian army, and one city after another was recovered.
Charles XXVII was so angry that he trembled directly, how could he not be angry when such a thing happened in his office, but he always remained calm, slowly stood up, and said in a voice that was so calm that there was no trace of waves, "Gentlemen, the time of war is coming again, a big war is inevitable, I now order, start a national mobilization, and do not hesitate to conquer this so-called "new Ebia", I will not allow the division of the empire!"
The more Charles XXVII spoke, the more agitated he became, and later he became more and more excited.
"Your Majesty, don't!"
"Your Majesty, please stop your anger......"
"King, don't be angry and raise up troops......"
When the ministers heard this, they panicked, and they persuaded one after another.
The destruction of the 500,000 army, the capture of the commander, the beginning of the kingdom, the strong of the Holy Domain, this series of issues have to be considered, and wise people know at a glance that it is not the best choice to go to war now.
"Needless to say!" roared Charles XXVII, "the province of Ebia was incorporated into my father's possession, and must not be lost ......in my hands."
As he spoke, he paused, raised his head slightly, and showed firmness in his eyes, "I want to personally recruit and wipe out these damn rebels in one fell swoop!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Mallory became nervous, no one knows the current military situation of the empire better than him, the 500,000 army to the south has consumed a lot of resources of the empire, coupled with the greed of the upper and lower officials, there are not many gold coins in the treasury, what to fight?
"Your Majesty, don't forget that Sanctuary powerhouse!" Mallory reminded, "Without the support of the Holy See, how can we deal with that Sanctuary powerhouse, Ron?"
"Yes, I almost forgot about this!" His Majesty Charles XXVII calmed down when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, we still have to communicate with the Holy See about this matter, and see if they can send one or two Sacred Domain powerhouses to go out with the army of my empire, so that they can be sure of dealing with that Sacred Domain powerhouse, by the way, what about the Holy Maiden who oversees the war, I heard that she is a genius of the Salter family?"
"She's been called back to Mount Hyjal!" Mallory replied.
Charles XXVII frowned, and his face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, "Holy See, hum!"
Then he sat down slowly, and with a flick of his scepter, "Send these two warplanes to Mount Hyjal, I'm sure they know how to do it, hehe, necromancer! Isn't this what they think is heresy? I'm sure Ernst will send someone to solve it!"
Charles XXVII smiled, his mood seemed to be much better, he glanced at Mallory, "Go and get in touch with these people from the Ebia Rebellion, let's admit that the kingdom is impossible, I hope they will know their way back, I will not investigate, don't rely on one or two Sanctuary powerhouses to think that they have the qualifications to fight against us, and ...... Spend some gold to redeem Mechente!"
"Yes!"
"Hehe!" Charlie smiled darkly, this troubled thing was done beautifully, and he kicked it to the Holy See like a ball.
Originally, this was a matter of the Holy Roman Empire, but now it involves the Holy See. Isn't your Holy See going to destroy necromancers? Isn't it going to eliminate heretics? He's in Ebia Province, and there isn't a single Sanctuary powerhouse in the Empire anyway, so you can do it!
......
The year-round accumulation of land in Mount Hyjal, a huge room of the Mythical Peak.
The lords of the Nine Sacred Temples, including Pope Ernst, sat there, a huge round table, separating the distance of nine people, and Pope Ernst sat in the center, he was dressed in a white burqa, and he looked like a kind old man with a silver head.
Now the Holy See's Sacred Domain powerhouse has reached ten, and in addition to the dead Wharton's position, there is another one who has no position for the time being, but it is certain that he will be reused, because he is a Sacred Domain powerhouse.
Bekadu, in his fifties, a paladin profession, a powerhouse in the Sanctuary, after he was recruited by the Holy See, took the place of Wharton, the commander of the Light, who was killed by Ron, and took charge of the Holy Crusade.
Sigman, about thirty years old, a holy archer profession, a powerhouse in the Holy Realm, is one of the best soldiers in the Holy Roman Empire, and after discovering this genius, the Holy See used various means to get him here.
However, he did not hold any position, but it was inevitable that he would be reused, because he was a powerhouse of the Sanctuary.
Ten Sanctuary powerhouses, the Holy See has ten Sanctuary powerhouses, ushering in the most powerful period after His Majesty Ernst became the Pope.
After listening to the report of St. Godley, Ernst was rarely silent, he took a deep breath, and a gleam flashed in his chaotic eyes.
"Everyone, now the worst has happened, the heretic we have been hunting down has actually become a powerhouse in the Sanctuary, according to legend, the strength of the Sanctuary necromancer is very strong, I need to hear your opinion......"
