As a rescue force, the Holy See has completely lost. There is no suspense at all.¤Literary Bar: wxba¤
Even in the final battle, the rescue force was considered to have contributed a little, without any credit or hard work, but on the issue of dividing the interests of the Alegula Empire, the Holy See still couldn't get a share of the pie.
It is true that the rescue army also captured two small cities, but controlling only two small cities is completely incomparable to the entire Alegula Empire. Arthur's strength made the Holy See feel extremely pressured. When Arthur announced
, the moment after the Alegula Empire was officially liberated, the Holy See immediately invited Arthur after receiving the news.
The Pope personally invited Arthur to visit the Holy City, but at this time, Arthur no longer had to give the Pope face.
Sitting on two major kingdoms, there is also the help of a major empire, the territory of a major empire, and finally the wholehearted support of the orcs. With such strength, Arthur can be said to have obtained nearly half of the power of the mainland!
Although the Holy See is indeed very powerful, it is not omnipotent.
There are many small countries in this world, located in every corner of the continent. In terms of strength, these small countries are simply insignificant and rely entirely on relying on stronger forces to survive.
For these small countries, relying on the strong is the way to survive. In the past, when the Holy See was powerful, everyone was relying on the Holy See and flattering the Holy See, but now the Holy See has declined!
A new star is rising on the continent, and that is His Royal Highness the Prince of Bradrick Kingdom!
The name of Arthur has spread throughout the continent with his achievements, and now Arthur has become the idol of young people all over the world!
Just imagine, a boy who is only 16 years old can actually build such great achievements in a short period of time. He has done things that countless heroes cannot do! If such a person is not worthy of worship, then why not?
Who are you going to worship?
What's more, although Arthur is a prince, he has been living among the people. He has grown from an ordinary little person to the present!
If I had the chance, would I be able to make an immortal contribution like His Royal Highness Prince Arthur and let my name be passed down forever?
If you think about it this way, it's really exciting.
Everyone is sighing. Everyone is praising, this is Arthur's excellence, he can achieve such results at such a young age, but what about the future?
No one will think that Arthur's success is just a flash in the pan, because Arthur is too powerful now! Arthur has strong strength and loyal and brave subordinates in his hands. With the support of so many partners, the future pattern of the mainland will be
It will definitely change because of Arthur!
Because of this, the United Principality of the South has almost turned to Arthur, and the United Principality of the North has also expressed goodwill towards Arthur. It looks like it is cooperating with Arthur. In this regard, the Holy See has completely fallen into passivity.
.
The United Principality is a multinational alliance composed of multiple principalities and small kingdoms united together.
The Saint Arion Empire was formerly a United Principality like this. However, the emperor of Saint Arion later unified the alliance and turned the alliance into an empire.
It can be seen that under certain circumstances, the United Principality still has considerable say.
But now, even the United Principality has turned to Arthur, what else can the Holy See do?
Although there are still some kingdoms that are not inferior to Bradrick in strength but have not expressed their opinions. But what's the use? Arthur has become big. The Holy See is destined to stumble this time. If it wants to dominate the continent in the future,
Right, it’s a no-brainer.
I am afraid that even the Pope would not have thought that a young man whom he did not particularly care about a long time ago has now grown to the point where even he must look up to him.
The Pope really couldn't think of it, but now, he must consider the future of the Holy See.
This time the Holy See's defeat greatly damaged the Holy See's prestige and strength. The only solution now is to befriend Arthur and seek profits from the Alegula Empire in exchange for the Holy See's losses.
Otherwise, the vitality of the Holy See will be greatly reduced.
The most important thing is that the Pope has learned that Arthur can use the lost forbidden light curse Holy Sword Judgment. This is not a trivial matter. Is Arthur really the legendary Son of Light?
If Arthur is the Son of Light, then the Holy See will probably treat it more respectfully. As for what the bastards from the Inquisition said, as long as Arthur is killed, the Holy See will restore its previous glory.
Don’t even think about it!
In fact, just as Arthur thought, after Arthur helped the orcs, he did become an enemy of the Holy See.
At the high-level meeting of the Holy See, more than one person had brought up the matter of purging Arthur, and actually went to help those barbaric orcs. This was simply resisting humanity! Resisting the God of Light!
Although this proposal received support from many people, the Pope, led by several cardinals, directly expressed opposition.
This proposal may seem like a way to wait for work, but in fact, it not only damages the prestige of the Holy See, but also attracts unnecessary enemies.
After all, if this matter cannot be killed with one strike, the consequences will become very bad, and if not, it will cause a world war!
With the Pope's suppression, the militants in the Inquisition finally shut up, which also saved the Holy See from a tragedy, no matter from any perspective.
Now the Holy See is asking for help from Arthur, and more importantly, they need to find out Arthur's identity.
If it is really confirmed that Arthur is the Son of Light! Then the Holy See will probably side with Arthur.
In fact, in the Pope's heart, he really hopes that Arthur is the Son of Light. After all, in this way, Arthur and the Holy See will become a family, and then the family will no longer have to speak two languages.
Although the Pope's idea is good, it is a pity that Arthur does not think so.
First, the name Son of Light is really vulgar. He doesn't like it at all and doesn't want to admit it.
Secondly, Arthur's feelings towards the Holy See can only be considered average. He can become an ally, but it is absolutely impossible to have a heart-to-heart relationship, and it is impossible to establish a deep comrade-in-arms relationship like Saint Arion.
With these two items alone, it is impossible for Arthur to give up his interests to the Holy See. Although everyone has a common enemy, Arthur feels that with his current strength, he can fight against the demons even without relying on the Holy See.
What's more, Arthur also has two allies, dwarves and elves, for which Arthur has already made plans.
Regarding the Pope's invitation this time, Arthur did not respond much. He just expressed his gratitude to the Pope for the invitation and declined the Pope politely on the grounds that the war had just ended and there were still many things to deal with.
Arthur said it very tactfully, but in fact he was showing that he would not pay for the Holy See. If he really wanted to talk, he should show some sincerity!
Speaking of which, Arthur is really busy right now. Although the battle has just ended, Alegula's side is already in chaos. The cities captured by Arthur are garrisoned by Arthur's people, but there are still some that are not.
In cities captured by demons, many city lords have begun to proclaim themselves kings, which is quite a headache.
Although there are many small principalities with three to five thousand people in this world, are you a little too naive if you want to stand on your own in Alegula?
At this time, Arthur is issuing an ultimatum to the noble city lords who have proclaimed themselves kings. If they choose to rely on him, then everyone will be able to talk and discuss in peace, and there will be no less benefits.
But if you are stubborn! All that is waiting for you is the blood-stained sword!
Many people chose to submit to Arthur's ultimatum. After all, it is important for people to know themselves. Although power is good, life is more important.
But people, there are always some people with bad characteristics. There are many people who are willing to rely on Arthur, but they are not willing to rely on Arthur. They are crazy people who cling to power and refuse to let go. Even if they die, they will die with the throne.
, it’s not like there is none.
In two days, Arthur had been rejected by four noble city lords, and one of them was so arrogant that he simply didn't take Arthur seriously.
As expected of a nobleman from the countryside, he is very courageous.
In fact, those captured by the demons were basically the main cities of the Alegula Empire, and some towns in remote areas were not considered by the demons at all.
In this case, the nobles in these remote areas have not been baptized by the fire of war at all, and they do not know how terrifying the demons are, and how terrifying Arthur is!
Regarding the news about the Demons and Arthur, these nobles have seen it from paper materials. As for the country nobles, it is impossible to say that they are well-informed. Maybe in their eyes, the relationship between Arthur and the Demons
The war was nothing more than a small fight, hundreds and thousands of people were stretched to death on the battlefield.
What's more, their location is remote. Except for businessmen, few outsiders come here. Even if they become kings, no one will care.
Unfortunately, they thought wrong. Arthur will never allow anyone to touch his own interests! After all, this is not only related to Arthur, but also to everyone around Arthur!
You don’t want to submit, right? Well, I’ll kill you until you submit!
Send troops!
war!
The battle with the demons has just ended, and Arthur has sent out troops to fight again. He will never show mercy to anyone who dares to resist!
It's just that this time Arthur didn't take action personally to deal with some mere rural nobles. If Arthur had to appear in this, wouldn't Arthur's appearance fee be too cheap?
For this kind of small fight, just send your subordinates to do it.
Arthur didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but none of Arthur's men thought so.
Does anyone dare to resist His Highness Prince Arthur? Or dare to be arrogant with His Highness Prince Arthur?
I will destroy your nine tribes!
