As the time approached noon, Anna's servants began to decorate the venue. They placed various flowers and decorations around Anna, and sprinkled spices on the venue.

The number of flowers was so large that the ground was paved high. There were so few flowers to choose from at this season. It took a lot of resources to achieve this scale. In fact, all flower suppliers in Vienna received flowers from the Kassus Church.

orders, flower prices in several surrounding provinces have also continued to rise.

According to Jones, the spices were brought from Spain by Sazastan and Misrilla. Under Jones's personal attention, the Intelligence Bureau successfully placed several spies in the Church of Cassus.

Although Ladislaus knew that Jones did this largely for the purpose of the Cyric Church to crack down on dissidents, he certainly would not refuse. It was always a good thing to have more intelligence channels.

Moreover, the Church of Cassius has experienced decades of troughs, and its current core members are all very steadfast in their beliefs. Ladislaus does not believe that Jones is capable of doing any major damage to this organization.

Anyway, Boss Sirica has received his instructions and started organizing a team to infiltrate the Sirica Church.

Compared with the resurgent Church of Cassus, the corruption of the sluggish Church of Sirik is much easier. Even a novice in intelligence work like Boss Sirica can handle it.

At the same time, all the Kassuth believers present began to kneel down and pray.

Of course, it was not their prayers that made Jones feel palpitated. No matter how loud the sounds were, they could not shake the resolve of the "protecting the country" warriors.

What really made Jones's heart palpitate was a slow and powerful rhythm.

Everyone present could feel a faint percussion echoing in their ears, but most people regarded it as just noise in the venue and didn't care.

Only a few of the strongest "Defenders", including Jones, felt distracted by the rhythm of the knocking sound.

This rhythmic sound penetrated into their blood from their ears, and then ran wildly through their bodies.

They had all met Anna before and soon realized that this was the heartbeat of the child Anna was carrying.

At that time, I could only feel the potential of this child, but now it is dangerous.

The heartbeat of the child in Anna's belly every two seconds will interfere with the heartbeat rhythm of these powerful warriors.

The powerful warriors quickly realized that this was obviously a very strange skill or something.

Frunzberg was reporting this situation to Ladislaus in his ears. The sorcerer, as a spellcaster, was not disturbed, and Ladislaus had no way of detecting this situation himself.

However, after Frunzberg reported to him, Ladislaus was not happy but worried. This ability should be used as a trump card, but now that it makes everyone uneasy, it has lost half of its power.

This only shows that this child cannot hide his strength.

This kind of interference to strong enemies is not necessarily a good thing, and indiscriminate suppression of strong enemies simply attracts too much hatred.

‘It’s really Cassus’ style.’ Ladislaus thought helplessly. The Fire Lord’s style never included the tactic of hiding in the shadows and preparing a strike.

Although Cyric's church is corrupt, Cyric's overall policies and ideas are still worthy of its current success. Cyric never does such arrogant things for the sake of arrogance.

Wouldn't it be nice to just be tall, rich and handsome? Why do you have to do such an aggressive natural stunt?

The Church of Cassus was completely destroyed that year, although it was because the Church of Cyric was too powerful, but Cassus relied on a powerful group of mages to run rampant, and like Cyric, claiming to be the only true God also made his church suffer.

to any powerful ally.

Like Sirik, he was living alone in the territory he controlled, which made other gods, including Bane, unwilling to support the red robed mages who were in chaos. Although the situation of the red robed mages who lost their leader at that time was very bad, Yang-

The way Hus died greatly shook the cohesion of the church.

However, there are still a few "state-level" mages who want to come out and take charge of the overall situation. Moreover, the lower-level organizations have not collapsed and can still operate effectively.

If other gods can lend a helping hand, they may not be unable to fight against Sirik's crusade. In addition to Sazastan and Misrilla, there are several very powerful branches outside at that time. If they can withstand the first wave of onslaught, they may not be able to fight again.

Hold your ground.

But the outcome was that Sirik won a great victory.

Although the Church of Cassus later claimed that the oracle that their god claimed to be the only true god was forged by Cyric, in fact everyone knew that Cassus was indeed arrogant to the extreme.

Ladislaus couldn't help but become really worried about his son. After spending fifty years together in two lives, this was the first time he had a child of his own.

However, it is obvious that the child's mother now has her own plans for preschool education and further education, and does not allow the child's father to speak at all, and her attitude is very firm.

There are still not many signs of Anna's pregnancy, but it is not impossible for some women not to notice that they are pregnant during the entire pregnancy. This time, in addition to the protector of the country, there were many high-ranking warriors present, and they were basically sure that Anna was pregnant.

He cannot hide the existence of his powerful child.

As the time gets closer and closer to noon, the prayers of the followers of Kassus become more and more fervent and loud. Even nobles like Sazastan praise Kassus loudly and honestly.

According to Sazastan's plan, this session should last two to three hours, but Ladislaus and Katharina's lateness meant that they could only pray for less than half an hour.

However, Anna and Sazastan are not worried that such details will damage the blessing of Kassus. The Lord of Fire is not a god who cares about details and regulations. He is very tolerant to subordinates who can display his power.

Not long after, Anna stood up surrounded by flowers and decorations.

At this time Ladislaus raised his head and glanced at the sun. It should be noon now.

Ladislaus and Catharina sat opposite Anna. Surrounded by the ministers, they waited for the arrival of Cassus.

The area around Anna has been cleared, and all the followers, including the children of the Xibo family, have retreated ten meters away. She alone occupies the central platform with a radius of more than ten meters.

As Anna stood up, the voices of all the prayers rose to another level.

There was no more noise in the Royal Palace in Vienna. Even the insects and birds in the landscape trees were awed by the majesty of Kassus, and all they could hear were various prayers praising Kassus's majesty and power.

There were more or less Kassus believers among the Austrian nobles praying together, and the foreign diplomats were basically all Cyric believers. However, the guests no longer whispered to each other but waited quietly to show their respect for Kassus.

of respect.

Ladislaus did not intend to respond. He still preferred to retain his right to choose the successor. Although it was the right way to establish a direct line of succession, the position of the crown prince was unshakable, which was not necessarily a good thing for the monarch.

Although Europe has more princes than the Eastern Empire who can safely inherit the throne, Princess Katharina will not accept this situation calmly.

What's more, the relationship between Vienna and Madrid is already very delicate, and Ladislaus must consider her feelings.

Since he still needs this alliance, he also needs Princess Katharina to ease the relationship between the two parties.

Therefore, as a link, the interests of Princess Katharina must also be guaranteed at a minimum. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users
