The five great powers were the Kingdom of Gaul, the Kingdom of Beidon, the Kingdom of Britain, the Kingdom of Dangu, the Kingdom of Ovi, and the Kingdom of Xirong.
The Kingdom of Gaul is located in the east of Xirong. Although it is the smallest among the five kingdoms in terms of land and resources, it has always been the front line of Xirong's foreign wars. Regardless of the Holy See's Judgment Knights, the average quality of the Kingdom of Gaul's troops is lower than that of Xirong.
Enough to rank first among them.
Being on the front line, the Kingdom of Gaul has always been known for being the most capable of producing elite soldiers and generals.
The first military general of Xirong and the second-ranked Holy Evil Marshal Desaise in the Quartet Ranking of Evils is the first general of the Kingdom of Gaul.
The Beidun Kingdom is located north of Xirong. The territory is densely covered with minerals and is the one with the most resources among the five kingdoms.
The Kingdom of Britain is located in the westernmost part of Xirong, and half of its land is made up of islands of different sizes. Xirong has the strongest navy. Moreover, its strong maritime power has also brought them prosperity in commerce.
Dangu Kingdom, the central power of Xirong, is the country with the largest land area. But because it is very close to the Holy See, it should be said that the Holy See Kingdom is within the Dangu Kingdom, and it is also the one most controlled by the Holy See.
When kings of other kingdoms succeed to the throne of kings, although they nominally need to be crowned by the pope, they can only do so in a church in their country.
Xirong is so big and there are so many countries, big and small, how can the Pope have so much time to crown them every day?
However, only the Tangu Kingdom has this honor. The Pope will not be absent from every king's coronation ceremony.
Even, every once in a while, King Dangu had to pay homage to the Pope.
The Ovi Kingdom is located in the southern part of Xirong. This is the country with the most fertile land in Xirong and the most abundant food.
As one of the five great kingdoms of Xirong, its power is definitely not comparable to that of Rome today.
They were also besieged by the seven countries closest to them, but just because of the difference between such a country, compared to Persia and Macedonia, Caesar's difficulty rose directly to hell level.
No matter how powerful Caesar and Octavian are, the size of their forces lies here. If I have ten soldiers to defeat one of your soldiers, or even more soldiers to defeat one of your soldiers, no matter how powerful a single person is,
Even though it is strong, it cannot be easily reversed!
If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, this not only tests your own ability to be strong enough, but also tests that the opponent's ability is far inferior to your own, or that the opponent's ability is weak enough, and you are still walking a tightrope step by step.
Not to mention that the gap in power between the two sides determines that one can lose again and again, and one can afford to lose anyway, but if Caesar loses once, the game is probably over.
Let’s talk about Pope Akalochis. He rejected the joint opinions of the three palace masters at once, not only because he was really unwilling to use cannons to kill mosquitoes, but also because he wanted to take action again.
No matter which generation of popes they are, it seems that they are really at odds with those dynasties in the Central Plains. They want to make the people of the Central Plains feel the glory of God. Even if they are beaten back time and time again, they will always be able to fight when they get the opportunity.
Then he refused to let go.
Just like the last time they attempted to preach, they suffered an unprecedented failure, but now that the opportunity has come again, the heart of Pope Akalochis has become active again.
However, the method of sending a large number of experts to infiltrate step by step like the previous times is obviously not feasible. Even the Pope fell there last time, which is the most painful lesson.
Moreover, if we send experts out, they will definitely be blocked by the experts from the Central Plains Dynasty. If we act in this way, we will definitely lose our lives.
Not to mention the almost mythical Gu Qingzhu, the two true Buddhas of Mahayana Buddhism alone were thought to be dead by others, but the Holy See did not think so. Mahayana Buddhism, as a line of defense against the infiltration of Xirong, has been fighting in recent years.
Can we have fewer interactions?
People in the world don’t know about the cause of death of the previous popes, and Xirong doesn’t know about it? Is it really just the credit of Ziyue?
Therefore, this time the Pope decided to adopt the toughest method. Since peaceful methods cannot spread the glory of God, then let the sword decide everything.
No matter how powerful Gu Qingzhu is, no matter how powerful the two true Buddhas of Mahayana Buddhism are, can they still be compared with millions of soldiers and horses?
Therefore, for the three small countries that dared to resist Xirong's orders, it was not worth launching a holy war for the Pope. Even in the end, when the order was issued, it was only a ruling.
As for the Dawu Dynasty, that was the real holy war, and what was launched was the papal decree. Recruitment orders were issued to all countries in Xirong to recruit crusaders.
Xirong was very big. To its east was not only the Dawu dynasty, but also the Daxia dynasty and the Dachu dynasty. Even their northeastern direction was Beidi's sphere of influence.
However, there has always been only one direction for the Holy See to preach, and that was the Dawu Dynasty.
To Xirong, Beidi is a barbarian, and they are really untouchable.
If they preach to the Central Plains Dynasty, as long as they send experts instead of soldiers and horses, then even if the forces of the Central Plains Dynasty intervene, they will not send troops and horses, but will send experts from the royal family or masters from the enshrinement hall to cooperate with the Central Plains Dynasty.
Other masters attacked Xirong's strong men.
But Beidi was not particular about it and simply sent out cavalry to strangle them on a large scale.
Even those who are powerful at the Heavenly level are helpless in the face of large-scale cavalry. The key is that Beidi's light cavalry are countless, and even if they run, they may not be able to escape.
Heaven-level masters can indeed quickly recover their internal strength when Heaven and Man unite, but the problem is that their physical strength is limited! If they are under siege for a long time, even if these cavalry have not broken through their Gangqi shield, it does not mean that they
Their physical strength can support them to keep fighting.
Even if they want to run, they are traveling on two legs, while others are traveling on horses. If they can't get rid of each other in a short time, isn't this another dead end?
Faced with hundreds of thousands of light cavalry charging towards you, let alone those ordinary heaven-level masters, even if the Pope and those palace masters go there, they have to turn around and run away. Even, even if they are
The two sages of Confucianism and the two true Buddhas can only run away after meeting them!
If I don't run, is there really going to be a fight?
Although Daxia and Dachu are also located to the east of Xirong, they are not adjacent to each other on land like Dawu. Instead, they are separated by a huge strait, especially from the Dachu Dynasty.
Furthermore, more than a thousand years ago, it was Emperor Shenwu who drove Xirong step by step to where they are now, staring at Dawu, and perhaps he picked up where he fell.
