Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although they have a hostile relationship with each other, even Anna and Aurelina have to admit that Godric is definitely an extremely outstanding person. In a sense, he is the best descendant of the Mitchell family.  As he claimed, he was smart, tolerant, and very good in both political and military skills. In fact, Anna's father, King Sickert, could not match him in talent, so Godric's power could not be contained.  The rise and growth.

    When Godric later usurped the throne, Aurelena launched an army to resist. She originally wanted to overthrow Godric by relying on her military talents, the legacy left by King Sickert, and the support of the majority of lower-class civilians and minor nobles.  The Narcissus family brought the huge manpower and material resources of the southern province to help, and their strength was almost as strong as Godric's. However, under Godric's series of methods, she was defeated again and again in just one year.  The large-scale army that was originally established was almost completely destroyed. It only survived thanks to Meng Lie's rescue and the protection of the elves. Godric's power is evident.  .

    Later, Godric was not satisfied with his ambition to dominate the Western Continent, and actually had the idea of ????annexing the Eastern Continent to truly unify the vast world. So he befriended the Huns, attacked Atlantis, and combined the orc manpower internally.  Suppressing the elves, working closely with all the good churches in the world, using military force both internally and externally, although it is a bit militaristic, it is still very heroic, setting off huge waves in the vast world, if it were not for the appearance of Meng Lie, an unexpected person, and the intervention  Gangzi, his plan might even come true.

    And now, such a powerful person.  Did he die so suddenly?

    This is too dramatic.

    However, since this matter was said by Remilia herself, it cannot be just a rumor or rumor. It must be true. At that moment, Meng Lie quickly asked about the origin of the incident.  Although Godric was only a mortal, his sudden death would definitely have a huge impact on the situation in the Western Continent, even more significant than the death of several demigods and gods.

    When Remilia told the details of the incident, Meng Lie was speechless and found that Godric's death was indeed full of drama, just like a bloody script written by those literary young people in his hometown who specialize in writing tragedies.  The source of the news turned out to be "Final Darkness" Julius, the Dark Pope who had been missing since his temporary verbal alliance with Meng Lie, because he was the one who contributed to the incident.

    Godric died at the hands of Roger.  Moreover, the method was extremely painful poisoning. A glass of poisonous wine mixed with a dark curse easily ended his dreams and ambitions. Meng Lie estimated that Godric would never have imagined that he would die in such a way.

    The origin of the matter comes from an incident that happened two months ago. One of Godric's favored lovers gave birth to a son for him.  This was a huge blow to Goer Roger. He didn't understand that this meant that his status was shaken. The experience of being captured by Meng Lie several times caused him to lose all his prestige in the eyes of everyone, and he was so popular.  Derek had scolded and snubbed him, and now he was no longer the only heir.  To cancel his inheritance was just a matter of Godric's words.

    With Godric's body, there is no problem in living for another few decades, so he can slowly cultivate an heir that suits his wishes. Godric made a big mistake several times and lost face.  It¡¯s not surprising to be abandoned.

    With the courage of Goer Roger, he would never dare to attack Godric even if he was unwilling to do so.  But it happened that Julius appeared at this time, and the Dark Pope, who had been hunted by the Good Church for hundreds of years, planned this insidious plan to drain the cauldron.  The church that unites politics and religion is difficult to overthrow, but what will happen if the Holy Clear Sky Empire no longer cooperates closely with the church, loses its identity as a state religion, and the secular imperial power and theocratic power are in opposition?

    Julius has been planning to separate the Church of All Good in the World from the Holy Clear Sky Empire for a long time. This is also an important reason why he came to Monlie to join forces. As long as Anna can restore the throne, then he once helped Godric  The church that usurps her crown will naturally not get good results. The church and the empire will have conflicts and even opposition. This is what he is very willing to see.

    So Julius keenly seized the opportunity of the birth of Godric's youngest son, disguised his identity and got into Roger Roger's side. Using his ability as the Dark Pope to gain Roger Roger's trust was simply a piece of cake.  Within a few days he became Roger's confidant.

    Driven by his instigation, the painful and desperate Gol Roger finally chose to kill his father and become self-reliant. The defense force around Godric was very tight, with strong people gathered, and there was also the care and protection of the Lord of Glory, even if Meng Lie went to assassinate him.  It's probably not an easy task for him, but after all, Roger is his son, and because of the youngest son's matter,??Gol Roger was still a little apologetic. No matter how suspicious Godric was, he didn't worry about his son doing something to him. He drank the dark curse that Julius had cast with the divine blood of the fallen Queen of Darkness in one gulp.  Poisoned wine.

    There is absolutely no way for a mortal to be saved after drinking such poisonous wine. Even the soul will be annihilated, even if the gods take action. So Godric died in frustration, but Gol Roger also failed to achieve his wish.  , because as soon as Godric realized something was wrong with the wine, he killed him without hesitation and directly used his fighting spirit to turn him into a pulp.

    So the father and son both died so quickly that no one else had time to react.

    "This is too exaggerated, it's just like a stage play."

    Meng Lie could only sigh deeply as an annotation for the tragic death of both father and son. No one would have thought that they would end up like this. The "Final Darkness" is indeed well-deserved. It hides darkness in obscurity, but it can kill people if it takes action.  , no wonder he is still alive and kicking after being hunted by the church for so many years.

    "Julius notified me of the matter as soon as possible, so the matter has not spread yet. Even within the Holy Clear Sky Empire, not many people know about it, but it is a rare event for us.  good chance."

    Remilia smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I will not keep you here anymore."

    Meng Lie nodded, and his perception field spread out instantly to "find" Anna who was playing with Lana Sesi and Yuan Nu.

    My little queen, the promise I made to you is about to be fulfilled.

    ==========================

    Erzetas, the capital and heart of the Holy Clear Sky Empire.  The center of economy, politics and culture, every move that happens here will affect the situation of the entire Western Continent. More than two years ago, Godric launched a coup here, overthrowing Anna's throne, breaking the peace of the Western Continent, and setting off a revolution.  A series of wars, and now his sudden death here has also had a huge impact.

    The residents of Erzetas woke up and were horrified to find that the city gate was never closed.  The Evernight City, which has no curfew, is actually under full martial law. Countless heavily armed soldiers are guarding the main thoroughfares in the city. Teams of patrols are constantly patrolling around. The most important thing is that all eight city gates have been closed.  No one is allowed to enter or exit, and Erzetas turned into an isolated island overnight.

    What frightens the residents the most is that these martial law soldiers do not seem to be in a group, but are in opposition to each other, each occupying some blocks, dividing Erzetas into several spheres of influence, and the atmosphere is very tense.  A dozen conflicts broke out in one morning, and thousands of people died. The blood dyed the white stone road that the Erzetas were proud of red.

    What happened? Could it be another coup?  Like that time two years ago?

    Every fearful resident is wondering. The purge during the coup two years ago still remains fresh in their minds and they are extremely frightened.  They took their families and hid in basements and other shelters, praying that this accident would pass soon.

    At this time, the top leaders of the Holy Clear Sky Empire have fallen into a chaotic and dangerous state of serious confrontation.  Since Godric's death was so sudden, he didn't even leave a will or anything. While he was killing his father, Roger also sent his cronies to kill his younger brother who was only two months old. As a result,  Their whole family died cleanly, leaving the mess directly to the high-ranking officials of the empire.

    If there is an heir, then it's okay. Even if it's just a child, no matter what his intentions are, there will always be someone to help him inherit the throne and stabilize the situation. However, the Mitchell family is not rich in people, and Godric's line is dead.  Clean, even the most loyal subordinates didn't know what to do for a while, let alone the careerists who saw this rare opportunity.

    The chaotic high-level officials were roughly divided into three opposing factions, two of which were cronies trained by Godric. But now that Godric and his sons are dead, no matter how loyal they are, they have lost their allegiance.  With their ambitions growing, both sides saw opportunities. As long as they could control the political power

    Compared to them, the third faction is much more moderate. Most of this faction are veterans and old nobles of the empire. They have been loyal to the Mitchell family for many generations. Many of them were bureaucrats and nobles during the period of King Sickert.  Even Godric didn't dare to attack them during the original purge. Of course, marginalization is inevitable. This faction mainly focuses on uniting and self-protection in the chaotic situation in front of them, but they don't have much ambition or strength to participate in the struggle for power.  among.

    Of course, there is also a small group of people who are secretly communicating in private, preparing to welcome Queen Anna back to sit on the throne again. In the eyes of these people, since Godric's line is dead, the throne will naturally be given back to the other line.  , anyway?The bloodline of the Mitchell family just returned to orthodoxy, but their voices were relatively weak, and it was difficult to contact Anna and Aurelina for a while.

    In addition to them, there is another group of forces that is very important, and that is the Church of All Good in the World. The church has a huge force in the city of Erzetas. It is just to show respect for Godric and has not been stationed in a formal establishment.  Even though they were armed, Godric's sudden death also made them panic. Although the various factions in the confrontation sent people to seek support from them, they could not express who they supported before the Pope made a decision.

    However, it can be expected that once the church chooses someone to support, that faction will definitely win. After all, the current empire's political and religious integration is very close, and the attitude of the church is almost decisive, so all parties to the confrontation will make a wish at all costs.  Some aspects have far exceeded what Godric originally provided.

    It is conceivable if things continue to develop like this.  The church will become the biggest winner, and the imperial regime will be completely reduced to a puppet. It is not that the opposing parties have not seen this, but for their own ambitions.  They couldn't care less about this, but it made those neutral forces extremely worried.

    "Your Excellency, it's not good!"

    The intrusion of several eager-looking noble officers interrupted the lunch meeting held by Duke Mueller. Since it was an extraordinary time, all the nobles attending the lunch meeting could not relax as completely as before, and they all stood up at once.

    They are one of the major forces seizing the imperial power, headed by Godric's most trusted subordinate, the Imperial Prime Minister Duke Muller.  Their subordinates also controlled a large number of Erzetas garrison, but the subordinates of the other faction confronting them had hundreds of thousands of peripheral troops of the capital watching outside the city, so even if they had the upper hand in force within the city, they did not dare to act rashly.  Attack.

    "Did Kilharry and the others take action?"

    Duke Mueller took off the napkin on his chest and frowned slightly. He had secretly sent people to lobby and bribe the officers and nobles of the peripheral troops.  The results are remarkable, and I believe that it will be a great success in a few days. By then, the faction headed by his long-standing political rival, Duke Kilhary, will have no choice but to surrender, and the other factions will eventually have no choice but to obey him. He  The last thing he wants is for anything out of control to happen at this time.

    ¡°Yes, Your Excellency, Duke!¡±

    The noble officer said eagerly: "Duke Kilhary just suddenly led his men to forcefully enter the palace. Our people blocked it, but they actually took action. We were caught off guard and suffered a lot of losses. Now they are probably already in the palace!"

    "This Kilharry, he is really crazy!"

    Duke Mueller's face suddenly turned livid.  There has been an agreement among the various factions that neither party will enter the palace until the final winner emerges.  Because this is the last face of the Holy Clear Sky Empire, internal fighting will return to internal fighting.  None of them wanted to turn the palace, the most central power institution of the empire, into a battlefield, and now that Duke Kilhari had violated this agreement, all the nobles present were furious and angry.

    It is obvious that his side has the advantage in terms of force in the city, but Kilhari still dares to do this. He is either crazy or he has something to rely on!

    Duke Mueller immediately stopped the lunch meeting, quickly assembled the army and led his nobles to the palace. Now that Kilharry has lifted the last fig leaf, let the two sides decide the outcome based on their strength!

    The "Slaughter Wolves" guarding the palace are Godric's most elite troops. They wiped out the main force of Anna's royal guard during the coup. However, they chose neutrality from the beginning. These have been cultivated by Godric as killing machines.  The guards soldiers did not show any ambition. They did not stop Kilhari when he entered the palace, and now they did not stop him when Duke Muller led his army. Their attitude was very ambiguous.

    This is also understandable. Godric has extremely strict control over the "Wolf of Slaughter". Neither the two Dukes dare to send people in, and Godric does not allow them to have any contact with the ministers. Now Godric suddenly died and lost his life.  The "killing wolf" who has become the commander-in-chief is like a headless fly. He has no ability to control the political power. He can only wait for the winner to appear before taking refuge.

    "Kilharry, you are so brave!"

    When he led his men into the palace aggressively and saw Kilhari sitting on the chair that originally belonged to Godric in the main hall of the palace, Muller's eyes immediately turned red.  The anger of Kilhari's behavior made him feel that Kilhari had blasphemed his king. Although he had the ambition to usurp the supreme power, he never thought of sitting on this chair. This was also his expression of gratitude to Godric.  The last bit of loyalty.

    Facing the oncoming trendKilharry, who had only a few subordinates around him, such as the furious Muller, did not panic at all. He didn't even stand up and just glanced sideways at the furious Muller. His eyes were completely looking at a person.  Loser: "Duke Mueller, you're here, that's good, it saves me having to send someone to summon you again."

    "It seems that you are really crazy. This is no place for you to sit. Why don't you get out of here!"

    In anger, Muller took action directly and grabbed Kilharry in a flash. He was a military general and a powerful high-level knight. It was easy to deal with Kilharry who had little actual combat ability.

    However, Kilhary showed no fear, and even the subordinates around him remained motionless, watching as Mueller's big hand glowing with fighting spirit was about to catch Kilhary.  An illusory figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and grabbed Mueller's wrist. There was a crisp "click" sound and Mueller's arm was crushed to pieces by the huge force.

    "Duke¡ª¡ª"

    The subordinates behind Mueller were immediately shocked, and several strong men took action in unison.  However, with a cold snort, the figure raised his hand casually, and an indescribably bright ray of fighting spirit flashed through. After that, the bodies of the powerful men who took action instantly turned into exploding flesh and blood, and even their bones changed.  Turned into bone residue.

    "Those who dare to disrespect the gods will suffer eternal suffering. Don't you even know this?"

    The figure snorted coldly, and his voice was ethereal, as if coming from the distant sky.  It contained a kind of irresistible oppression and majesty. Muller's subordinates who entered the hall felt their hearts were hit hard, and they immediately fell over.

    Muller, who was enduring severe pain, saw clearly the figure's appearance and clothing, and was immediately shocked.  He groaned feebly: "The 'Sword of Dominance' is here"

    "Sword of Dominance" Gu'a, one of the two demigods in front of the Lord of Glory alongside "Void Spirit of the Sky" Dann, is a rare holder of combat laws in the human pantheon. All about the Lord of Glory  Statues, murals, etc. usually show him and Dann serving the Lord of Glory, and their appearance and attire are all very distinctive.  So Muller recognized this legendary demigod at a glance.

    Muller naturally understood what his sudden appearance meant. It was obvious that the Church of All Good in the World had chosen Kilhari as the leader of the Holy Clear Sky Empire, and even the demigod came forward in person.  Could this be what the Lord of Glory meant

    For a moment, Mueller felt that all thoughts were lost. Even the Lord of Glory chose Kilhari.  So what can he do?

    Seeing the lifeless look on his old rival¡¯s face, Kilhari felt extremely happy.  However, he did not dare to show an expression of ecstasy in front of Gu'a. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Gu'a, saying: "Thank you so much for your help. Everyone in the Holy Clear Sky Empire will swear allegiance to my lord to the death to spread the word about my lord."  The glory of the people is our responsibility.¡±

    Gu'a nodded lightly and looked at Kilhari without any emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead object. Kilhari couldn't help but feel a tingle in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any emotion on his face.  displeasure.

    The reason why he was able to get the support of the church was that the conditions he provided were better than those of Muller. Although the benefits that Muller provided to the church were much greater than those of Godric, they were considered to have a bottom line. However, he brought the entire empire to  All were handed over to the church. If the previous empire was still a unity of politics and religion, then if it continues to develop according to the conditions he provided, the Holy Clear Sky Empire will become a country directly controlled by the church. The divine power completely overwhelms the royal power, and he is nothing more than a puppet.  But for that burning ambition, he was desperate.

    As long as you can be king, as long as you can have the same power as His Majesty Godricit will be worth giving up everything!

    Gu'a is very satisfied with Kilhari's attitude. Such a ruler of the Holy Clear Sky Empire is what the Lord of Glory really needs. If you want to turn the mortal world into the Lord of Glory's most ideal divine kingdom on earth, the church alone cannot do it.  , there must be the cooperation of secular power. Although Godric cooperated very closely with the church before, he still clung to his royal power. And such a secular supreme power is responsible for the destiny of a country.  The underworld is protected by the supreme law. If it is directly eliminated, the difficulty caused by the law will be more serious than the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of creatures. Therefore, the gods use various methods to influence the secular supreme power, but they cannot  Take action directly, whether it is the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent.

    Even a strong mortal like Julius, the black hand against Godric was accomplished through Gol Roger. He himself would never dare to take action directly unless he, the Dark Pope, had lived enough.

    He threw Mueller out like trash. Just when Gua was about to say something, his faceHis expression suddenly changed, and his brows wrinkled.

    A magical giant sky airship that looked extremely exquisite and gorgeous, full of elven style, had appeared in the sky above the palace at some point. However, with his perceptual ability, he was only aware of the arrival of the airship at this moment¡ª¡ª
