Even the most murderous and unruly adventurer, after hearing the news that the unprecedented beast tide was destroyed and the Shinra army triumphed, could not help but mutter: "You son of a bitch, you did a good job."
No one wants their home to be flooded by a tide of beasts, which means death and destruction.
Therefore, when this victorious lion returned to the imperial city after a hundred battles, you can imagine the warm welcome it received.
Pigeons flew up, flowers spread on the ground, and countless girls enthusiastically blew kisses
The Royal Knights are known for attaching great importance to the glory of knights. Seeing this scene of triumph, they straightened their backs and proudly rode their tall horses into the city gate.
Catherine couldn¡¯t help but take the initiative to take two steps to greet him.
Sir Model, who was wearing rose plate armor, immediately rolled off his saddle and bowed before the queen: "I report to the queen that thanks to the protection of the country, our four expeditionary legions have fulfilled their mission and successfully wiped out a total of about 80,000 soldiers. The tide of monsters, victory and triumph!"
Queen Catherine's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She witnessed the bloody battle and knew how much risk her lover had taken for herself and her children. She couldn't help but step forward and help Sir Model up. She even couldn't help but want to go up. Give it a kiss.
Du Yu coughed: "I want to present the spoils of war to the queen."
Catherine woke up from involuntarily, her face flushed. If Du Yu hadn't reminded her just now that she kissed Model in front of everyone, it would have been a big deal.
However, she felt disappointed because she could not kiss her lover.
It seems that the only choice is to serve my lover in bed tonight, and let Queen Shinra reward this minister of the country who has been on the journey in the most fragrant way for his contribution to saving the country.
Du Yu smiled calmly. But I heard Catherine blushing and saying: "Your contribution belongs to Sheji, and you are the savior of my Shinra! Come here! Read out the canonization decrees of Yi and Feng!"
A cabinet minister came out and read out slowly and clearly the decree of Tracy and Catherine to canonize Du Yu.
All the adventurers present heard this canonization. Everyone was petrified and shocked!
"What a glorious canonization this Sir Model has received?"
Prime Minister of the Empire!
Military commander!
The elector!
It is unprecedented for the three most glorious positions to be concentrated in one person!
After the minister read out the decree, he slowly withdrew. Du Yu himself was shocked. Then he saluted Catherine and said, "Your Majesty, although I have made a small contribution, I deserve it!"
"That's right! You really deserve it!"
A cabinet minister came out with a sneer and said in a hateful voice.
Catherine¡¯s phoenix eyes were cold. He slowly turned around and looked at the speaker.
At this time, her heart was completely focused on Du Yu, and any minister who dared to question Du Yu was a thorn in her side.
"Churchill? So it's you?" Catherine was slightly surprised, but then she raised her eyebrows with murderous intent.
Although this person is not very compatible with Catherine. But he usually behaves well and would never raise such objections. This time, in public, he directly questioned Catherine. Why didn't Catherine have murderous intentions?
When Churchill saw Queen Fengwei getting angry, his heart trembled, but he had the full support of the Pope and was not very afraid. Thinking of the benefits after the matter is completed, he said with all his heart: "Yes! I am determined to be right about this canonization! Not only me, but also Duke Frederick and Marquis Annan, a total of three cabinet ministers, all disapprove."
Catherine reacted immediately.
This is a demonstration by the Pope.
These three ministers usually lurk deeply, but at critical moments, they jump out to cause trouble.
She smiled instead of getting angry, and said with a calm smile: "I wonder what Sir Churchill has to say?"
Churchill gritted his teeth and winked at Frederick and Annan.
The two had no choice but to come out and say: "Queen, don't blame me. We are also speaking up. When it comes to military exploits, Sir Model's military exploits are indeed not light this time, but it is necessary to confer him, a low-level nobleman, into the highest one in one go." Elector, we really can¡¯t agree with that!¡±
Churchill smiled and said: "In my opinion, conferring a baron on an illegitimate son whose bloodline is questionable is an exception. Elector? Is the blood flowing on him from the Habsburg family? It¡¯s hard to tell with blood!¡±
Du Yu¡¯s pupils turned cold.
He has already thought that to rule the country of Shinra, he will face great difficulties and challenges. One of them is the issue of lineage.
Even with the full support of Tracey and Catherine,?Such an easy problem to solve. Those nobles who hold great power attach great importance to the issue of blood. As the illegitimate son of the elector of Bergen, it is not easy for him to be recognized.
Although Du Yu can also secretly make other nobles disappear and replace them without anyone noticing. But those pure-blooded children who are qualified to inherit are the key protection targets of various powerful families. They often have high-level treasures on them. Once they die or are captured, they will immediately send out a signal to let the family know. In addition, they live with their families and get along day and night, making it even harder to pretend.
Sir Model, an illegitimate son, rarely met Bergen. Their relationship was simple and it was easy to pretend.
Catherine was about to show off her power and kill these three guys in one go.
Unexpectedly, Du Yu stopped the queen instead, smiled calmly and said: "Your Excellency Churchill, you have insulted my blood and family, which is unbearable! I demand a duel with you!"
He coldly took off his gloves and threw them in front of Churchill.
Churchill looked up to the sky and laughed: "Who are you? You dare to ask me for a duel? Do you know that I once served as the Prime Minister of the Empire? Even if I am just the Minister of Finance at this time, you are not a bastard who can challenge me!"
Catherine said coldly: "He is already the prime minister and elector of our empire. Why is he not qualified to duel with you? I say he is the prime minister, but he already is! Churchill, do you dare to question it?"
Churchill knew that the queen had murderous intentions, and Xin Yiheng shouted sharply: "This person is just a sycophant. He led his troops to repel a wave of beasts, and then he dared to jump to power? The scale of this beast wave has been seriously exaggerated! What a triple beast tide, it¡¯s clearly a sensational stunt by Model¡¯s frontline commander!¡±
Du Yu stopped Catherine, who was about to get angry, and said with a calm smile: "You dare to say in front of the entire army that we have withstood three times the beast tide. Is this false military intelligence? Is it sensationalism?"
Churchill knew that once he jumped out, it would be difficult to end peacefully. He looked at the Papal Palace to see when his reinforcements would arrive. He gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Of course! You can't provide any evidence at all."
Before he finished speaking, Adela, Federer and the leader of the fanatic army who followed Du Yu were already roaring in unison!
¡°Knights, mount your horses!¡±
"Fanatic believers, hold the staff!"
"Shooters, load up!"
? 12,800 murderous HRE warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles, brazenly drew their weapons, got on their horses, and aimed their lances, muzzles, and fanatic rods of punishment at Churchill!
The nobles of the empire changed their expressions one after another and shouted angrily.
Adela said coldly: "To tell you the truth, I am also a blood descendant of the Habsburg family! I swear on the honor of my ancestors. You bastard slandered us and said that we were sensational and defrauding military honors. It is absolutely a lie and a slander! I Ask the Imperial Court to arrest this person immediately and torture him severely, otherwise it will be difficult to appease the hearts of us soldiers who are rolling out of the dead!"
Churchill¡¯s face was earthy.
In front of these tens of thousands of excited soldiers, Qiu Ba, he felt an extremely cold killing intent. If these guys lose their minds and really kill themselves during the triumphal ceremony, considering that they have been loyal to the country and have just returned from hundreds of battles, and the law does not punish everyone, can the empire really kill them all to pay for their lives?
Thinking of the consequences, Churchill couldn't help but regret.
But at this moment, a majestic voice sounded: "This tide of beasts in the empire is God's punishment for us people who are not pious enough. It is a small punishment! As God's spokesperson in the world, I, the Pope, tell you , the truth is not that serious at all.¡±
Surrounded by many red-clothed archbishops, the Pope walked out in full robes and majesty.
Churchill, Federer, Annan and others, as if they had been granted amnesty, rushed towards the Pope and hid behind him.
Catherine¡¯s beautiful eyes are even colder.
These three murderers proved that they were the Pope's men.
"If you can't see it, forget it. Now that your identity has been exposed, if these three people can survive, they will be considered incompetent!"
Catherine mocked: "I really can't believe that my cabinet minister of the Shinra Empire is actually the lackey of the Pope. It really gives us a lot of insight."
The nobles of the empire all looked thoughtful. Everyone can see that this is a head-on confrontation between religious power and imperial power.
The Pope disagreed and said with a cold smile: "All people are God's people. These loyal ministers just can't stand some conspirators who try to sway the power of the empire and violate God's will, but they just speak up. "
Catherine sternly said: "Conspirators? I think they are some conspirators, trying to invade the center of power of the empire in the name of God's spokesperson and seek worldly benefits.Powerful, right? "
The words were full of gunpowder. It was the first time that Empress Shinra had publicly accused the Pope of interfering with the central authority.
The pope¡¯s voice rose an octave: ¡°Queen Catherine, I think you are not pious enough to God! You should enter the royal church and confess your words!¡±
Catherine smiled coldly and was about to speak when Du Yu sighed, walked up to the Pope and said with a smile: "Pope! Do you think this time is just a small punishment given to us by God?"
The Pope said proudly: "Who are you? Dare you talk to me like this?"
Catherine raised her eyebrows and said: "Pope! Be respectful! This is the prime minister and elector of the empire talking to you! He is qualified to be your equal! If my husband Joseph dies, he will be the only candidate for the throne of the empire! "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
