A civil war began. In fact, this war did not last long.
When Arthur's army pressed down on the border, the rural aristocrats just claimed that they had their own tricks. When they saw Arthur's troops actually appearing, they basically didn't dare to resist, and they were completely suppressed.
In this regard, Arthur showed no mercy at all. There are still many troubles to come, and Arthur has to show his iron-blooded side to a certain extent.
The nobles were deprived of their power and all the main criminals were hanged.
Not killing the nine tribes was already a sign of Arthur's mercy. For now, he had to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Otherwise, there will always be some self-righteous guys who look down on Arthur.
Arthur's methods shocked the world, but also made many young people worship Arthur even more fanatically.
There is no way, why is Arthur so powerful?
As for the issue of dividing interests after taking over the Alegula Empire.
This point also needs to be discussed by all forces.
The orcs won't want Alegula's territory. After all, it's useless to come. So in this regard, Arthur can use materials to cash in, and the share allocated to the orcs will naturally fall into Arthur's hands.
.
If we say that this benefit is evenly distributed, it is naturally impossible. Both the St. Arion Empire and the Cherphi Kingdom have territories bordering the Alegula Empire. For the benefit of these two countries, it is natural to expand the territory.
It's just that tens of millions of young men in the Alegula Empire have disappeared without a trace and have not been recovered so far. Just the land, the old, the weak, women and children, this is also a headache for Lance and Listy.
On the other hand, Arthur is quite relaxed about this. Artoria can just fight for the division of the land. Arthur can get a big share anyway. Almost three-fifths of the empire's land has already fallen to Artoria.
In Se's hands.
The most important thing is that most of the resources of the Alegula Empire have been secretly taken away by Arthur, and the biggest bones have been taken away by Arthur. Arthur is not at all interested in the leftover soup and water.
In other words, Arthur became the biggest beneficiary of this war, and the things he got were the real good things.
In this way, the Alegula Empire completely became history. The entire country was divided into three parts, and this battle also greatly expanded the territories of Sherfield and Bradrick.
Especially the Kingdom of Bradrick! Now the territory of the Kingdom of Bradrick is no less than any empire!
In other words, even if Artoria becomes emperor now, there is no problem at all. It's just that Artoria has no interest in becoming emperor at all. She just wants Arthur to succeed her. This
That's the most important thing.
But unfortunately, Arthur also has no interest in the throne. The world is very big. He does not want to be bound to one country.
At this time, Arthur, after rejecting the invitation of the Holy See, had returned to the Kingdom of Bradrick and plunged into the research of war weapons.
In the battle with the demons, Arthur's war weapons never appeared. This is a very regrettable thing.
However, Arthur also understands that the war with the demons has just begun, and the people in Alegula are just a group of small characters, unable to take the stage. So Arthur must work hard to make all preparations for the future!
Arthur's refusal made the Holy See very angry, and they watched helplessly as the Alegula Empire was being divided. The Holy See did not get any benefits at all, which angered many high-level officials in the Holy See.
But there was no other way, it was Arthur who took away their interests. Facing Arthur, no matter how much anger he had in his heart, he had to hold it back.
In recent times, the prestige of the Holy See has declined greatly. Many small countries have appeared to be acting in a shady manner, and even the people's faith has also declined. This has made many senior leaders of the Holy See very uneasy. If this continues, the Holy See will definitely
It is a huge loss of vitality, and it is still unknown whether it will be able to guarantee that it will still be the largest religion in mainland China by then.
In order to save this passive situation, the Pope decided to go to Bradrick's capital in person. Since Arthur was busy, he would take the initiative to ask for a meeting.
The Pope's decision shocked many people.
The Pope has not left the Holy City for many years, but this time, he left because he wanted to meet a young man. Is this too detrimental to the Pope's majesty?
"madness!"
Regarding the doubts from everyone in the Holy See, the Pope's expression also showed some anger.
"The Holy See today is no longer the Holy See it once was! If you continue with this kind of pride, the Holy See will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"
As soon as the Pope said these words, no one dared to say another word. With this big hat removed, no one dared to bear this crime.
When the Pope shows his power, who dares to contradict him?
In this way, the Pope left the Holy City for the first time and went to the capital of Bradric in person to meet Arthur and Artoria.
To be honest, both Arthur and Artoria were surprised by the Pope's personal visit. After all, this kind of thing was very rare in history.
The Pope actually left the Holy City! This is simply unbelievable!
"We meet again, His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, and Her Majesty Queen Arturia."
Without prior notice, the Pope also paid a low-key visit to the Kingdom of Bradrick this time. By the time Arthur and Artoria got the news, the Pope had already appeared in front of them.
"Nice to meet you, His Majesty the Pope." Arthur and Artoria looked at each other and said hello to the Pope.
There is no way. It would be disrespectful not to hold a grand welcome when the Pope comes. At least on the surface, Arthur and Artoria cannot let the Kingdom of Bradrick be criticized for this.
"It's my fault for coming here rashly. I hope His Royal Highness Prince Arthur and Her Majesty Queen Artoria won't be offended."
Logically speaking, the personal visit of the Pope should be an honor for every country, but when it comes to the Kingdom of Braddrick, His Majesty the Pope's words reveal a sense of caution.
This really confused Arthur.
Arthur understood that the reason why the Pope suddenly came to look for him was inevitably because of the dispute over the interests of the Alegula Empire. He had already thought about this and would never pay the Pope's blame. He wanted to spit out the interests in his hands.
It's impossible to go.
"Whatever His Majesty the Pope said, it is an honor for us, Bradrick, to have His Majesty the Pope honor us."
Although he hated those artificial words, Arthur couldn't help but say it at this time.
There is no way, this is because people cannot help themselves in the world.
But what surprised Arthur was that after a few polite words to each other, the Pope turned out to be quite calm and did not mention a word about the division of Alegula's interests.
This skill of nourishing qi is quite good.
Arthur secretly sighed, but since the Pope doesn't take the initiative, Arthur will naturally accompany you to the end. Since you like to beat around the bush, then I will accompany you.
Anyway, Arthur is not in a hurry at all, even if he chats with the Pope for a few days, it will be no problem.
"Actually, I have a question that I have always been curious about. Prince Arthur, can you explain it to me?" During the chat, the Pope seemed to have asked a question inadvertently. Although he didn't know what the Pope was going to say,
But Arthur's attention was still raised in an instant.
"Your Majesty, if you have any questions, it's okay to ask."
"I heard that in addition to being an excellent warrior, Prince Arthur, you are also proficient in water and light magic, right?"
"That's right."
Arthur didn't know the reason why the Pope suddenly asked this question. When did the Pope care about this issue? Is he preparing to confuse himself?
No, I have to concentrate more.
"Oh? This is really a hero born in youth." After receiving Arthur's affirmative answer, the Pope sighed and nodded, and then asked casually: "I don't know, Your Highness Prince Arthur, who taught you magic
What? I’m very curious about this.”
"This..." When the Pope raised this issue, Arthur was immediately hesitant.
"If it's a very important secret, then forget it." Seeing Arthur's troubled expression, the Pope quickly waved his hand empathetically, saying that he was just asking casually and didn't need to worry too much.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, my magic and combat skills were all given to me by my teacher." Arthur shook his head and took a deep breath before finally answering.
Of course, Arthur was just pretending, how could he let the Pope know about the Treasure Bag System?
For this reason, Arthur directly found the old excuse he had been using. Anyway, no one could find Arthur's so-called teacher. No one could ever expose this lie.
"So that's how it is, no wonder"
After hearing Arthur's ambiguous words, the Pope acted accordingly and did not continue to dwell on this topic.
I have to say that when talking to the Pope, you must always be vigilant, otherwise, you may accidentally fall into his language trap.
This is the difference between age and experience. Although Arthur is very smart, it does not mean that he will not make mistakes.
Precisely because he knew this, Arthur would be even more careful in dealing with it.
"Speaking of which, Prince Arthur, what do you think of the Holy See? In other words, what kind of feeling does the Holy See give you?" The Pope changed the subject and actually asked about Arthur's senses.
"Do you feel like the Holy See?" Arthur frowned, it was quite hard to describe.
"As for the Holy See, it should be pretty good. At least I feel pretty good." After thinking for a moment, Arthur gave such an answer. Although it was very concise and comprehensive, it fully expressed what Arthur meant.
As far as Arthur was concerned, the Holy See was just pretty good, and there was nothing else to say about it.
