Volume 3 The Stairs in Front of the Throne Chapter 317 Difficulties (Part 2)

    Lin Tan naturally had his own reasons for not choosing to pursue.  *1*1* If possible, let alone letting these orcs go, he wouldn't mind killing them all directly.  Lin Tan has never been a kind guy, and his path can be paved with blood.  But those orcs are not stupid. After handing over the ships at sea, without naval power, wouldn't they become lambs to be slaughtered after getting on the ship?  Ramos is not that stupid.  He asked all human navies to stay away from the retreat route of the orc fleet, and sent out reconnaissance ships to conduct reconnaissance along the route to ensure that there were no obstructions on the road.  You must know that the ocean is not as easy as on land. It is not as easy to ambush. The endless sea does not provide a hiding place for ships.

    What's more, not to mention Lin Tan, at this moment, the entire Holy Cross Alliance probably has no time to take care of those orcs.  .

    The orc armies on the eastern and southern fronts completely retreated.  I didn't get any benefits, but I got a lot of embarrassment. It can be said that the gain outweighs the gain.  If we go by normal circumstances, humans will have to organize an expedition team and go to the orc hinterland to continue the fight.  Although it is unrealistic to destroy the Orc Tribe Chief Alliance, it is still possible to make the Orcs unable to launch a large-scale war against the Human Alliance within ten years.  But now, no one would even mention such an idea.

    The reason is very simple. The Principality of Severon unilaterally announced its separation from the Holy Cross Alliance!

    Such a thing, no matter how you look at it, you will not think it is a trivial matter, and it should not be revealed without any news beforehand.  But in fact, this is the case. The Principality of Severon's unilateral departure from the alliance does not have any warning at all.  He suddenly withdrew his soldiers in the coalition forces and then declared a rebellion.  Fortunately, the war with the orcs had ended at this time because Lin Tan defeated the orc expedition in the south. Otherwise, such an important force would have been suddenly lost.  It's hard to say what kind of trouble will arise on the battlefield.

    There was no sign of this happening, but the fluctuation it caused was like a magnitude 12 earthquake!  The Holy Cross Alliance has existed since the disintegration of the huge Caesar Empire. Except for the initial period of turmoil, the six subsequent member states have not changed in the past few hundred years.  We have always shared weal and woe. Even if there are some conflicts between various countries, we have encountered major events.  It can still be open to the outside world.  It is also because of this very close alliance that these six countries, which are not considered powerful, have a place on this continent.  Otherwise, neither the West nor the religious theocracy of the Holy Empire penetrated.  Whether it is the military threat of the orc tribe that is approaching from the east, no country can defeat it on its own.  It can be said that if the alliance did not exist, the Six Nations would have ceased to exist long ago.

    "Whether it is in terms of national interests or other aspects, breaking away from the alliance is a very stupid decision.  A typical example of harming others but not benefiting oneself, which not only weakens the overall strength of the alliance, but also loses its own interests.  And what exactly prompted the nobles and national leaders of the Principality of Severon to make such a decision is unknown.  Even the spies deployed by various countries did not find out anything.

    Although the intelligence systems of various countries have not received any wind.  But that doesn't mean people can't guess.  At least, the moment Lin Tan heard the news.  I have already reacted. I am afraid that the reason why Severon left the alliance is probably the result of the infiltration of the Holy Empire!

    Subsequently, a series of statements and actions issued by the Holy Holy See in support of the Principality of Severon's secession from the alliance directly confirmed this news.  In fact, the Holy See's religious infiltration into the Cross Alliance has never stopped.  Both of them are believers of Fran, the Lord of Holy Light, but it is completely impossible for the kings of the alliance to accept such a domineering religious authority to dictate to themselves. They do not want to let themselves become like the Principality of Victoria, where even the leader of the country  Succession is subject to the constraints of the Holy See.  As for the Holy See, if they want to continue to expand their religious and political influence, they must expand their sphere of influence.  To the southwest, the strength of the Evert Federation is not weaker than him, not to mention that from the past to the present, the Evert people have no tradition of believing in the Lord of Holy Light.  There is no need to say more about the elves and dwarves of the Northern Alliance, and there is no need for the aliens to accept Fran's teachings.

    In these two aspects, the Holy See has made great efforts, but the results have been very little. Even if it launches the Crusade religious war, the strength of the two is not weaker than him. Unless all the efforts of the whole country are used, otherwise there is no hope of being able to do so.  Easy to take.  In this situation where neither south nor north could develop smoothly, the Holy Cross Alliance in the east came into the Pope's eyes.

    For nearly a hundred years, His Majesty Pope Nicholas of the Holy See has been trying various ways to deal with the Holy Cross Alliance.  Use too much force, ?However, due to the interference of Evert and Beifang's dreams, it ended without any problem.  Using economic warfare, the Holy Cross Alliance countries, especially Wembley and Florence, which are close to the sea, are not poor at all. Cutting off the economic routes on the road will hardly give the alliance a big blow.  Having failed on both fronts, His Majesty the Pope began to change his mind, and ideological infiltration became his current weapon.

    This method is indeed very good.  It is subtle and will not arouse the dissatisfaction of the leaders of various countries. Even if they are a little uneasy, you can't just let them send envoys to promote doctrines and exchange experiences with the churches supported by each country?  Therefore, the monarchs of various countries are also taking strict precautions against these, but they are unwilling and unable to offend the Holy See because of this matter.  I thought that such penetration would have no effect, but now it seems that it has no effect, and the effect is almost unbelievable!

    The separation of the Principality of Severon is equivalent to removing a piece of flesh from the Holy Cross Alliance.  Fortunately, this only happened after the orc threat was resolved. If not, the alliance would have been in serious trouble.

    Even now, the trouble is still not small.  The countries in the alliance must minimize the impact of this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that some nobles will not have other ideas.  After the fall of Severon, if the Holy See wants to continue to increase its ideological penetration, it must not be too simple!
