The Holy Roman Empire, the imperial capital, St. Paul!
From a huge white jade palace, one or two bells could be heard from time to time.
The luxurious palace hall is extremely spacious, the huge pillars cannot be hugged by dozens of people, and the light from the colorful glass windows shines on the ground.
In front of the window, a huge cross stood tall, and in the cross was carved an angel with wings spread out.
This is the highest power center of 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 II. The seventeenth, under him, stood dozens of ministers, all of these fat-headed guys were titled in Guizhou, but these nobles had little interest in state affairs other than making money and playing with women. The guy was already blatantly snoring.
Charles XXVII was holding a battle report in his hand, his hand was trembling constantly, and his beard was beating lightly. It was a battle report from the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Southern Expeditionary Army was wiped out, and the coach Mechent was captured. He asked for his redemption.
"Who can tell me! Who can tell me, what the hell is going on?" Charles XXVII desperately suppressed his anger, and roared, "Where is my army of half a million, my brother?" Where's Mechent? How come it's gone... who the hell can tell me..."
His Majesty Charles XVII made a rare swearing, which shouldn't have happened in terms of his self-cultivation.
Seeing that His Majesty was angry, those ministers seemed to wake up from a dream, but these people looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them took the initiative to answer the conversation.
The atmosphere in the palace was a bit suffocating.
"You are all dumb!" Charlie 21 was furious, he stood up abruptly, and threw the battle report in his hand, "Who told me that an army of 500,000 people will soon wipe out the Ethiopian rebels? Who said The rule of the Holy Roman Empire in the province of Ebia will be restored soon? Tell me, what do I usually feed you people?"
The majesty of the emperor was fully revealed. Unlike the enthusiasm before the expedition, all the ministers dared not breathe now. The movement of the 500,000 army was huge, and the supplies needed were simply astronomical. Fang fought for the fat, but what Charles XXVII didn't know was that a large part of the empire's gold coins fell into their pockets.
At this time, the battle report was impartial, and it happened to float to the feet of the Imperial Military Minister.
But the guy who was as fat as a pig pretended not to see it, and turned his head away. The ministers are very smart, and no one wants to touch His Majesty when he is furious.
But the sharp-eyed Charles XXVII saw it, and he snorted coldly, "Mallory, tell me!"
The minister named Mallory couldn't pretend not to see it at this time. He was the military minister, and the battle report just floated to his feet.
At this moment, Mallory saw the gloating eyes from around him, and felt very helpless, so he had to pick up the battle report and look at it pretendingly.
"Your Majesty, this battle report is very clear. The reason why our Southern Expedition Army failed was all because we ignored one of the most important situations, that is, we didn't know that a strong sanctuary appeared in the Ethiopian rebellion party as a leader." Their guardians!" said Mallory, Secretary of State for War.
"A strong man in the Sanctuary?" His Majesty Charles XXVII was surprised, "Is it an orc? Or a monster in the Sanctuary?"
"No, he's a human being!" Mallory shook his head, "As soon as the strong man in the sanctuary appeared, he destroyed the city of Amufa on the border between the empire and Ebia, and burned the food there. Under such circumstances, fight bravely and be defeated in the end!"
Mallory said very provocatively. He knew that only by saying this can he minimize his responsibility. No matter where he is an official, the truth is the same. Achievements must be robbed and responsibilities must be cleared.
The Holy Roman Empire does not have sanctuary powerhouses, because all sanctuary powerhouses are in the Holy See. In order to better control the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy See stipulates that every sanctuary powerhouse or genius who will become a sanctuary powerhouse must He will definitely join the Holy See and accept the jurisdiction of the Holy See, which makes Charles XXVII quite helpless.
The southern expedition of the Holy Roman Empire is essentially an administrative act of the empire. In name, the Holy See sent personnel to supervise the war. Logically speaking, it is a sure thing to eliminate the chaotic parties in Ethiopia and restore order in some places in Ethiopia. .
Unexpectedly, a strong sanctuary appeared in the Ethiopian rebellion.
Everything was reversed, and even Charlie 27 did not expect that the strong in the sanctuary could play such an important role in the war.
Charles XXVII narrowed his eyes, "Who is this strong man in the sanctuary? What occupation? He dared to help the Ethiopian rebel party against us. Aren't they afraid of the revenge of the Holy See?"
"According to reliable sources, this is a newly promoted sanctuary powerhouse named Ron, who seems... seems to be a necromancer!"
"What? Necromancer?" Charles XXVII exclaimed, "Mallory, a necromancer actually became a strong man in the sanctuary? And destroyed my Amufa City? Are you awake?"
Mallory moved his mouth and was about to speak when a waiter hurried over, "No, Your Majesty, there is another battle report ahead!"
The waiter opened the battle report and was about to hand it in when Charles XXVII waved his hand, "Say it right 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 Ethiopia in the Holy Roman Empire was actually established under the protection of the Church of the Scourge?"
"Illegal, absolutely illegal, I cannot allow such a thing to happen!"
"What can we do if we don't let it happen? Even our southern expedition failed!"
The ministers talked one after another, and the whole palace was in chaos. This bad news cast a shadow on everyone's faces, and some ministers became even more outrageous and threatened to kill all those Abby Asian chaos.
But what's the use? In the province of Ethiopia, strong uprisings broke out in almost all cities. Under the attack of the Ethiopian army, the old citizens of Ethiopia opened the city gates from inside and outside to welcome the arrival of the Ethiopian army. One city after another was restored.
Charles XXVII was trembling with anger. How can he not be angry when such a thing happened in his office, but he still kept calm, stood up slowly, and said in a voice that was so calm that there was no wave , "Gentlemen, the time for war has come again. A major war is inevitable. I am ordering now to mobilize the whole country and conquer this so-called 'New Egypt' at all costs. I will not allow the empire to split!"
Charles XXVII became more and more excited as he spoke, and later raised his voice.
"Your Majesty, don't!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down..."
"King, don't raise your troops in anger..."
The ministers panicked when they heard this, and they persuaded one after another.
The 500,000 army was destroyed, the commander was captured, the kingdom was first established, and the sanctuary was strong. A series of issues had to be considered. A wise person would know at a glance that going to war now is not the best choice.
"Needless to say!" Emperor Charles XXVII roared, "The province of Ebia was incorporated into the territory in the hands of my father, and must not be lost in my hands..."
As he spoke, he paused, raised his head slightly, and his eyes showed firmness, "I want to personally conquer, and wipe out these damned chaotic parties in one fell swoop!"
"Your Majesty! Please think again!" Mallory became nervous. No one knew the current military situation of the empire better than him. The southern expedition of half a million troops had already consumed a lot of resources of the empire. I don't have many gold coins anymore, what do I use to fight
"Your Majesty, don't forget about that strong man in the Sanctuary!" Mallory reminded, "Without the support of the Holy See, how can we deal with that strong man in the Sanctuary, Ron?"
"Yes! I almost forgot about this!" His Majesty Charles XXVII calmed down after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Yes, we need to communicate with the Holy See on this matter to see if they can send One or two sanctuary powerhouses will go out with the army of our empire. In this way, we will be sure to deal with that sanctuary powerhouse. By the way, what about the saint who supervised the battle? I heard that she is a genius of the Salter family? "
"She's been called back to Mount Hyjal!" Mallory replied.
Charles XXVII frowned, showing dissatisfaction on his face, "Holy Holy See, hum!"
At this time, he sat down slowly and waved his scepter lightly, "Send these two battle reports to Mount Hyjal, I believe they know how to do it, hehe, Necromancer! This is not what they think Heresy? I believe Ernst will send someone to solve it!"
Charles XXVII smiled, and seemed to be in a much better mood. He glanced at Mallory and said, "Go and get in touch with the Ethiopian rebels, let us admit that the kingdom is impossible, and hope that they will find their way back." , I’ll just ignore it, don’t think that you have the qualifications to fight against us just by relying on one or two sanctuary experts, and besides… spend some gold coins to redeem Mechent!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"Hehe!" His Majesty Charlie smiled sinisterly. He did a good job of bringing disaster to the east, and kicked this matter to the Holy See like a football.
Originally, this was a matter of the Holy Roman Empire, but now the Holy See is involved. Isn't your Holy See going to eliminate the Necromancer? Isn't it to eradicate heresy? He is in the province of Ebia. Anyway, the empire doesn't have a strong sanctuary, so you can figure it out!
…
Mount Hyjal, which has been accumulating all year round, in a huge room on the peak of the gods.
The masters of the Nine Halls, including Pope Ernst, sat there. A huge round table separated the distance of nine people. Pope Ernst sat in the middle. He looks like a kind old man.
Now there are ten sanctuary powerhouses in the Holy See. Except for the dead Wharton, there is one who has no position for the time being, but it is certain that he will be reused because he is a sanctuary powerhouse.
Bicardo, about fifty years old, a paladin profession, a strong man in the sanctuary, after he was recruited by the Holy See, he took the place of Wharton, the Commander of Light who was killed by Ron, and took charge of the Holy Crusade.
Higman, about 30 years old, a holy archer, a strong man in the holy domain, is one of the most outstanding soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire. After discovering this genius, the Holy See used various means to get him.
However, he did not hold any position, but it is inevitable that he will be reused, because he is a strong man in the sanctuary.
Ten sacred powerhouses, the Holy See has a full ten sanctuary powerhouses, ushering in the most powerful period after His Majesty Ernst became the pope.
After listening to the report from Saint Godelia, Ernst was unusually silent. He took a deep breath, and a gleam of light flashed in his eccentric eyes.
"Everyone, the worst thing has happened now. The heretic we have been chasing and killing has become a strong man in the sanctuary. According to legend, the necromancers in the sanctuary are very powerful. I need to hear your opinions..."
