Chapter 308: Appointment of the Commander-in-Chief
The cardinal archbishop looked surprised, he didn't expect the other party to want to kill him.
"Why?!Why did the Sincere Continent choose demons, isn't it that angels are more compatible with humans?"
Suzanne shook her head, patiently explaining to him.
"Now that the Child of Prophecy has appeared, his decision is the will of the entire Zeal Continent. The war against the angels does not mean that we choose demons, but purely to protect Elena?"
The cardinal archbishop's face immediately filled with rage.
"It's nonsense! How can you sacrifice thousands of lives for one person, let alone a murderous demon. Miss Suzanne is accustomed to seeing the world, so why don't you persuade him to give up?"
Suzanne began to think back to her old life and a smile appeared on her face.
"Over the long years, I have planted people in many countries in a vain attempt to control the Passion Continent behind the scenes, but I have failed. There will always be someone who breaks your arrangement and sees through your scheme. There will always be unexpected things happening.
Then I realized that even though I was standing in a higher position than others, living longer than others, and having more experience than others, I still made mistakes.
Not all of my thoughts are correct. At the end of the day, I am a person who is immersed in the thinking of the past, or someone who has been abandoned by the present era. You, like me, don't see the right path ahead.
And the master is different, he is the son of destiny, and all decisions are made by God, all for the purpose of saving the world. If we are surprised or absurd, it only means that we are not religious enough. ”
The cardinal archbishop still did not give up.
"Miss Susanna, as you know, the Bloods are the natural enemies of the Terrans, and they are the nemesis of the Terrans. They have the venom that exterminates all of humanity, and you can't betray humanity. ”
Suzanne laughed, "Humans, it's too small, I see the world, it's everything." The earth is never partial to a certain race, its breadth, its inclusiveness, is beyond your imagination. ”
When faith was involved, the cardinal knew he could no longer convince Susanna. Instead, he took out the scriptures and calmly faced the enemy.
"You unleashed the Great Fear Technique just now, so you must not have recovered your strength yet, right?"
Suzanne retracted her thoughts, her smile cooling, and her eyes were full of pity as she stared at the cardinal.
"You don't know anything about power. ”
I saw that Suzanne didn't make any moves, and countless starry lights suddenly appeared around the two.
The cardinal's expression froze, his eyes were full of terror, and the starry light was like stars in the sky, vast and immense.
The archbishop's magic, mental power, and physical strength were all sealed, and he couldn't move a bit. Each time the light flickered, the pressure increased by one point.
"It's... The power of the stars?!"
...
Three days later, the bodies of the Cardinal and the Son were hung in the square.
An official reads aloud the decision from the royal family.
[Recently, the Bright Empire has planted spies in the territory of the Bosai Empire in a vain attempt to overthrow the empire and threaten the safety of the people.
For this reason, the Empire will not tolerate it, and from today onwards it will wage war against the Empire of Light, treating all creatures from the continent of Fira as enemies. 】
"All-out war!"
The people exclaimed, and once again the clouds of war hung over every one of their people, overwhelming them breathlessly.
A thousand years ago, the Empire of Light was an invading party. Too much time has passed, and people have forgotten about hatred and subconsciously think that they are the stronger side.
The royal capital's orders were transmitted to every city in the empire, and a large number of adventurers from the continent of Fira were captured, and the clergy were directly executed.
It is rumored that the Celestial Cult has a deep relationship with the God of Light, so after the Posai Empire declared war, the Celestial Cult openly expressed its dissatisfaction, claiming that this was a self-defeating death, and that the great Followers of Light would destroy the Posei Court and punish the initiators of the war.
An even bloodier crackdown ensued.
The reason is simple, the Celestial Cult is a native religion of the Zeal Continent, and now it openly supports other continents, which is the most infuriating.
A large number of priests and nuns were hanged, and fanatical believers were beaten to death.
The influence of the Celestial God Cult was huge, and after the incident, people continued to march on the streets, and the voices of criticism and abuse were endless.
When the death toll exceeds 10,000, the faith of most people is replaced by fear. No longer protested, but honestly supported the decision of the royal court.
Several of these leaders, after being coerced and lured, came forward to support the royal family, interpret the will of the gods, and interpret the justice of this war.
From then on, in the northern and eastern parts of the Sincere Continent, the Celestial God Cult existed in name only, and its influence was minimized.
The staunch followers and stalwarts of the Celestial Cult have all retreated back to the Gelug Empire and the Candle Empire.
On the seventh day after the Posei Empire declared war on the Empire of Light, an order was sent from Sky City to the Human Kingdom.
"Response. ”
The Empire of Light then declared war on the Persian Empire.
Sky City's orders have been interpreted by countless scholars and people of insight.
The vast majority of people believe that the Empire of Light has regarded the Posei Empire as an evenly matched opponent.
This gave the whole country confidence in the Posa Empire, you know, long before that, no one dared to declare war on the behemoth of the Bright Empire.
A thousand years ago, the Empire of Light could destroy almost half a continent. A thousand years have passed, and no one knows how much the gap between the two countries remains.
The Continent of Enthusiasm and the Continent of Fira are separated by endless seas, and the army needs a large number of warships to transport it.
The Posey Empire only had the northern part of the empire close to the sea, and the number of ships was insufficient, so it could only be reinforced from the Duchy of Europe, and even recruited fishing boats from the common people. At the same time, Betty ordered a large number of craftsmen to hurry up the shipbuilding.
The army was scheduled to start in three months, tentatively with 300,000 infantry, 100,000 cavalry, and 50,000 navy.
Most of these troops came from the Posey Empire, although it had just gone through the war. The men of this country are still brave enough to answer the call of the royal family.
In addition, the barbarians, orcs, elves, the Duchy of Gaia, the Earth Temple and other forces have drawn troops one after another, and they continue to rush to the border ports.
The Temple of Love and the tavern were full almost every day, and most of the guests were soldiers.
No one knew what awaited them on that road. But everyone knows it's going to be an uphill battle.
The main hall of the royal palace.
Betty sat on the throne, and Amelia stood beside her in court attire.
There was a general in the audience, who was none other than the new earl, the senior general in the army, Gilligut, and Amelia's father.
At this time, the expressions of the three of them were serious, and they did not change because of their close relationship in private.
"Gilligut, after the death of my father, I was crowned king, but I never asked you, what do you think of me as a king?"
After experiencing the baptism of war, coupled with her daughter's recent experience in teaching officialdom, she immediately understood the meaning of Betty's words.
I saw Gili Gut kneeling on one knee to show the greatest respect.
"Your Majesty is a once-in-a-millennium holy lord, I am willing to follow him to the death!"
Betty nodded in satisfaction, relieved at the same time.
The royal Leviathan and the descendant Slant family are now in a delicate situation and equal in strength, Betty can't afford to lose the other, and reusing either side will cause dissatisfaction.
Therefore, it is the right choice to cultivate new strength, which belongs to one's own strength.
With Amelia's relationship, coupled with the fact that Giligut leads the troops well, fights bravely and well, comes from a poor background, and has no power in the court, he is the most suitable candidate.
When it comes to giving power and power, loyalty is the most important thing. That's why we have the scene in front of us.
"Very well! I now order you to be the commander of the expeditionary force, and the entire army that will attack the Empire of Light will be under your command. ”
