Of course, the Holy See chose to launch a holy war at this time for corresponding considerations.
One is that the Iberian War of the Dead has ended, and with the recovery of Sicily, the Holy See can withdraw its navy from the western waters and turn to the Aegean Sea to curb the navy from leaving the port of Constantinople.
The second is the stance of the Holy Roman Empire and the City of Olympia. As we all know, the Holy Roman Empire and the Church have always been at odds with each other, and both sides want to fight for the dominance of the continent. As for the core city of Orthodoxy, Olympia, it is naturally more wary of the Church, and the two sides have never even signed an open agreement.
However, a daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor and a daughter of the Licinius family were good friends, and the granddaughter of the Lord of Olympia also had a good relationship with them. In recent years, the three parties have miraculously turned from enemies to friends - of course, this was mainly due to the rampant pagans in the East and the West, but if there was no such relationship, the reconciliation in the Christian camp would have been full of twists and turns.
Thirdly, the fuse of this holy war was that the Seljuk Emperor Suleiman publicly declared that he would convert Hagia Sophia into a dome temple.
This move was tantamount to shitting on the heads of all Christians, so much so that from Asia Minor to Ireland, from Africa to Scandinavia, all Christians were furious and wanted the pagans to pay the price in blood.
All internal and external troubles were resolved, and the international environment was very favorable. If Innocent did not seize this opportunity, he would not be worthy of being the Pope. Therefore, it is said that even the Angevin Dynasty and the West Frankish Kingdom, which had been fighting for many years, were forced to put aside the territorial disputes in the coastal areas at the request of the believers and began to recruit crusader knights.
Soon, the envoys sent by the city of Olympia to Lusitania, under the orders of the city lord Apilius, found the returning Azure Sword Mercenaries:
"Your Majesty Theodora, the city lord asks you to go to Olympia City as soon as possible..."
He took out the secret letter from the city lord and handed it to Sheila.
Sheila took the secret letter, confirmed the integrity of the wax seal and the seal, then opened it, read it carefully, and handed it to Ask.
Ask was not polite. He glanced at the contents of the letter and asked Sheila:
"Do you want to restore the country?"
The envoys below changed their expressions when they heard this. They didn't know why this guy dared to speak to Her Majesty Theodora in such a contemptuous tone. As a result, Sheila's next reply, which was like a request for instructions, made him extremely surprised:
"if you can."
"Well." Ask hesitated for a moment, "Let's go."
Hey, Sheila felt something was wrong. The leader agreed too quickly, didn't he? Didn't he always want everyone to upgrade faster
She looked at Medea in confusion, and Medea looked back at her with an intriguing look.
"So how do we get back?" Sheila asked. "Boat? Plane? Car?"
"After Mia becomes a demigod, we will teleport back." Ask said calmly.
Strangely enough, during the half year overseas, all members had completed the specialization of the remaining skills and advanced to Lv.18... However, the first one to comprehend the final skill and reach Lv.19 was not Eleanor, who had always been ahead in level, but Mia.
