king.

Chapter 531 The Five Patriarchs
In the royal court of the bear people, Doris was speechless after listening to the grievances of the high-ranking orcs.

Everything is caused by strength, and the orcs are not strong enough, so they deserve to be beaten.

When the boss, he will only cover his obedient younger brother.The orc empire ten years ago was second only to the elves in terms of overall strength in the alliance, so naturally they would not feel at ease as a younger brother.

Now that their strength is weak, due to the pressure of survival, the orcs lowered their proud heads.But the younger brother doesn't want to be one, he can be one.

There is no love and hate for no reason. The value of orcs to the elves is limited to restraining the Alpha Kingdom.

It is enough to leave this nail, and it is purely a dream to want the elves to fully support them.

"Okay, I know what you said. We have warned the human race that their sanctuary will not be taken lightly in the future.

You should hurry up and open the Holy Land of Inheritance, and cultivate your own sacred masters as soon as possible! "

Doris said pretending to be calm.

It is absolutely unacceptable to say that you lost a fight.The strong also need to save face, and they cannot expose their black history.

"My lord, but the enemy didn't leave directly, but continued to plunder the grassland, without any..."

Before Xiong Renhuang finished speaking, Dai Lisi interrupted: "Has their sanctuary powerhouse made a move?
If it violates the rules and makes a move, we will naturally make a move; if they don't move, it's a routine conflict. "

Hearing this answer, all the orc executives were directly pissed off.

"Routine conflict", isn't this talking nonsense!
If it weren't for the sanctuary dragon acting as a transport plane, at the normal speed of human movement, they would have been blocked on the prairie long ago.

The strong in the sanctuary did not take part in the battle, and mobilized tens of thousands of elite troops to besiege, which would definitely cause Hudson and his party to suffer heavy losses.

Encircle and suppress a few more times, or the group will be wiped out.It is simply impossible to let them be arrogant until now.

It is a pity that Sanctuary in the Anti-Human Alliance seems to have deliberately forgotten the role played by the Sanctuary Dragon, and only saw that the strength of the person who shot did not reach the Sanctuary.

Wanting to argue, Xiong Renhuang swallowed the words again.The decision made by the strong in the sanctuary cannot be changed by a few words.

Judging from the course of action, Hudson and his party had already escaped from the sphere of influence of the Bearman Royal Court and were on their way back, so there was no need to worry about others.

The most panicked one now is King Beamon, who, as the neighbor of King Hada, happened to be in the way of his return.If you don't send a few more forbidden spells, you will be sorry for the "friendly" neighborly relationship between the two parties.

However, the current Behemoth family is here to make up the numbers, even if King Behemoth speaks, it doesn't make any sense.

Inside the empire, everyone is unwilling to buy it. You can't expect the elves to buy it, right?

The alliance doesn't want to cause extra problems, and the orcs can only face reality.The root of all problems was planted a hundred years ago, and now it is only paying for the decisions of the ancestors.

……

Stopping and stopping along the way, this strategic attack was not ended until the mage group was exhausted.

The specific record may be only a few hundred thousand, but the political impact it brings is unparalleled.

When the team arrived at the capital, Caesar IV had already brought a group of princes and nobles out to greet them, and everyone smiled.

As the protagonist, Hudson obviously felt that his king's smile was a bit unnatural.Needless to say, the problem is most likely caused by him.

"High meritorious deeds" is a very difficult thing for any monarch.

What's worse is that the heroes of "Shaking the Lord" are not very obedient, and often ignore the king's orders.

Before the start of the operation, the mission goal agreed upon by everyone: destroy the holy land of the orc empire inheritance.

When it came time to implement it, except for the fact that the task itself was not completed, everything else was done very well.

A brilliant victory that masks all problems.Even if he knew it was disobedience, Caesar IV couldn't say anything.

Picking at this kind of time can only prove how foolish his previous plan was.

A brief gaffe flashed by, and behind the brilliant victory, there were also countless crises lurking.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the issue of artifacts. The orcs all know that the Scepter of Glory is in the hands of the Alpha Kingdom, and it is estimated that the Holy See will also know in a few days.

Compromise does not exist, even if the artifact is returned to the Holy See, people will not appreciate it.

If you want to legalize the possession of artifacts for a long time, the only way is to establish a separate Holy See.Just taking this step is equivalent to declaring war on the Holy See declared by the flag.

The political influence is greater than the previous establishment of the Holy See by the Frankish Kingdom, and with the inheritance artifact in hand, it is entirely possible to act in the name of the Lord of Dawn.

Once the cards are revealed, the legitimacy of the Holy See will inevitably be fully impacted, and then the two sides will be enemies of life and death, and there will be no room for relaxation.

Compared to such major events that are related to the life and death of the kingdom, the "Great Master" can only be regarded as pediatrics.Even if he knew that exaggerating his merits would further boost Hudson's prestige, Caesar IV had no choice but to admit it.

In the next tough battle, the whole kingdom must work together.

The current grand ceremony is not only a celebration to welcome the heroes, but also to show off the kingdom's military power to the outside world, and by the way, it also links the five-nation alliance together.

Hudson didn't like this kind of solemn celebration banquet at all.There are princes and nobles everywhere, and you can't see the seductive noble ladies.

To others, the welcome banquet of this highest ceremony is glory, and on Hudson it is a waste of time.

Come here after every big war, anyone will get bored after experiencing too much.This kind of "happiness" trouble, only Hudson has in the whole kingdom.

If there is a choice, Caesar IV would like to pretend not to know it in a low-key manner, but there is no way.

If the king didn't express such a brilliant victory, all the princes and ministers in the court and the military would not agree to it.

Compared with the past, this celebration banquet is much more special.

As soon as the banquet started, Hudson and the six sanctuary powerhouses gathered together to exchange their cultivation experience, completely ignoring the guests.

Different circles have different rules of the game.In the circle of the top powerhouses in the mainland, what they value is strength, but their status is not worth mentioning.

Anyone present here can get the treatment of a great noble when they go to any country, which is completely different from the nobles who are inherited from their ancestors outside.

Hudson, who got into the circle of the strong, could only listen in on the communication of these guys.As a seventh-order magister/earth knight, I don't have the ability to participate in the discussion yet.

Hudson didn't speak, but Bear Stearns and Maxim joined the discussion.Every Sanctuary powerhouse has his own unique views on the rules, and Warcraft is no exception.

With so many sanctuary powerhouses doing exchanges together, if tickets are sold, the place will definitely be blown up, and the gang of eighth-level powerhouses outside are willing to go bankrupt and rush inside.

But it is a pity that the idea that there is no distinction between education and education is not popular in the continent of Aslante.Any knowledge related to cultivation here is precious and must not be handed over to others easily.

Unless they are direct blood relatives, outsiders have no qualifications to study at all.

As an auditor, what Hudson listened to was foggy, but the harvest was still not small.

It's not how strong his understanding is, the main thing is that he can ask questions!

Perhaps because of his status as a master of magic potion, or because of his friendship with his comrades, everyone took good care of Hudson during the communication process, almost answering every question.

For Hudson, who is groping his way all by himself, this kind of communication is crucial.

The few people who communicated with each other got on their heads and forgot the time of the banquet, which was a pain for all the guests attending the banquet outside.

Not all the guests are strong and can spend a long time at the banquet.But for this kind of special celebration banquet, the protagonist can't come out, and everyone can't leave.

"Your Majesty, this has been going on for a day and a night, why don't you send the drunk guests back to rest first?"

The prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, suggested tactfully.

It is naturally impossible to get drunk on such a solemn occasion.But if you want to leave early, you have to find a suitable excuse.

Perhaps all the sanctuary powerhouses inside would not care about this, but the kingdom had to abide by the etiquette.

"so be it!"

Caesar IV said a little tiredly.

If I had known that these sanctuary powerhouses were so good at chatting, I should have arranged a separate exchange meeting for them instead of bringing them to the celebration banquet.

It's useless to regret, the discussion inside is in full swing, and if you run over to disturb at this time, it's just pulling hatred.

"Wait, arrange for someone to set up a simple lounge in the palace, and arrange for everyone to take turns to sober up."

Caesar IV immediately added.

The game of his own group must continue with tears in his eyes.

Right now, we can only hope that this group of Saint Realm powerhouses will not communicate with each other for ten days and a half months at a time, otherwise this drama will not be easy to perform.

Facts have proved that Caesar IV thought too much.The strong in the sanctuary can go without food or drink for ten and a half months, but the mortal Hudson can't stand it.

At midnight the next day, a few people who were still unsatisfied walked out of the side hall and continued to participate in the celebration banquet, as if they did not notice the passage of time.

……

The next day, I slept until noon.As soon as Hudson opened his eyes, he was invited to discuss matters in the palace.

Without any surprises, there were only two topics of discussion: "Artifact" and "Holy See".

After listening to the speeches of the aristocrats, Hudson finally understood why Caesar IV would rather wear dark circles under his eyes, and persisted until a group of powerful sanctuary came out of it.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

Just to reflect the importance of the kingdom is not enough for a king to fight so hard. The real purpose is to pull the five-nation alliance to establish a separate Holy See.

Undoubtedly, the powerhouse in the sanctuary is a member of the decision-making hierarchy in any major force, and the right to speak is far beyond that of an envoy stationed abroad.

Instead of constantly tearing up diplomatic negotiations, it is better to directly communicate with the decision-makers of various countries.Even if the sanctuary powerhouses are detached and no longer involved in politics, no one can ignore their position.

"Your Majesty, getting rid of the Holy See's control over the faith is the common pursuit of the dignitaries of all countries, but if the four countries support us to establish a separate Holy See, the key is to look at the interests.

When discussing religious issues, it is not appropriate to involve too many secular things. It is best to directly promise them religious benefits.

The new Holy See created by the Franks is already loose enough, and no one has defected to it.If we want to win the support of the four countries, unless we can give greater benefits. "

As soon as Hudson finished speaking, Archbishop Tyron's face darkened.Friendship belongs to friendship, and interests belong to interests.

Allies, nor unconditional support.Especially when it comes to sensitive religious issues, it has attracted much attention.

Hudson's words also represent the thoughts of most secular nobles in the kingdom.It is no problem for everyone to support the establishment of another Holy See, but the price of winning the support of allies must be borne by the new Holy See, and the secular nobles are not prepared to pay the bill.

A little benefit is obviously not enough.If you want the support of all countries, you can only give up some of the power of the core management of the Holy See.

Once a compromise is made in this regard, then the Alpha family will establish a separate Holy See, and it will become a joint establishment of five separate Holy Sees, and everyone will be shareholders of this new Holy See.

There is no doubt that the addition of four shareholders with decision-making power will definitely weaken the interests of the local religious sect headed by Archbishop Tai Lun.

"Marshal Hudson, if the four countries participate together, who will have the final say?
If we can't get the management right of the new Holy See, what's the point of establishing this new Holy See?

Anyway, there is an alien alliance in the middle, and under the banner of the Frankish Holy See, it will not affect our interests.

If that's the case, we can sell the scepter of glory in our hands for a good price and bring the kingdom out of financial deficit! "

The Prime Minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, questioned.

As a member of the royal family, he must prioritize the interests of the royal family.According to the plan, after the establishment of the Holy See, Archbishop Tyrone, a member of the royal family, will serve as Pope.

The future royal family will integrate religious power and secular power, establishing the supremacy of the royal family in the country in one fell swoop.

"Prime Minister, although the power of the artifact is huge, it only adds a deterrent to the kingdom, so we have to confront the Holy See for this.

If the Franks bid high enough, selling the Scepter of Glory to them would not be completely out of consideration.

In this way, we not only get rid of the hatred of the Holy See, but also solve the kingdom's financial problems. "

Duke Hiero said with a smile.

Knowing that what the prime minister said was ironic, but still making it so obvious that chariots and horses jumped out to fight against each other, this is no longer a simple political disagreement, but a game between the great nobles and the royal power.

Everyone can ignore the matter of concealing the scepter of glory.But the royal family wants to take the theocracy into its pocket, but it is absolutely unacceptable to all parties.

Otherwise, in the future, because of interests and the royal family, wouldn't they be labeled as heretics?
It seems that Duke Hero is proposing to sell the scepter of glory, but it is actually the common idea of ​​all the great nobles.

No matter how good the artifact is, it cannot be controlled by oneself.Instead of staying in the hands of the royal family and threatening their own safety, it is better to take it out in exchange for benefits.

"Your Excellency the Duke is right. What the kingdom lacks most now is not a illusory Holy See. The key is to solve the financial problem as soon as possible.

The orc empire has been hit hard now, and it is the best time to destroy the old enemy of the kingdom. As long as we get rid of the financial crisis, we can prepare for the Eastern Expedition.

It's just an artifact, so if you discard it, you'll discard it.As long as our strength is strong enough, even if we don't have inherited artifacts, we can still establish another Holy See! "

The words of the Marquis Zuer completely ignited the storm.

The two nobles of the South and the North expressed their views at the same time, which is equivalent to representing the common ideas of the nobles of the North and the South.

Glancing at the courtiers, Caesar IV saw trouble in the firm eyes of the vassals.

Originally, I thought that Hudson's proposal was a scam, but I didn't expect that the big aristocrats in the country would be even more merciless in cheating the royal family.

In name, it seems that Hudson handed over to the kingdom after obtaining it. The royal family seems to have paid nothing. In fact, the royal family has paid countless prices secretly.

The rise of the great aristocrats has never been smooth sailing. Behind the smooth rise of the Koslow family, there must be escorts.

Sometimes targeting does not mean that we need to do it with real swords and guns, and the secret suppression is the norm.

For example: if you want to buy grain, there will be a shortage of food in the market; if you want to buy cloth, the cloth will be sold out in the market...

Another example: At a certain key node that needs to be traded, the business travelers suddenly disappeared and never came to the door again.

……

In an era when resources are monopolized, it is too easy to target a rising noble.

If you want to break the situation, the best option is to get the support of a big noble in advance to let everyone know that the blockade is meaningless.

In a sense, the rapid development of the Koslow family was also supported by the royal family.

The only problem is that Hudson jumped a little fast, and his reputation soared all the way, allowing the Koslow family to gain a firm foothold in the circle of big aristocrats, faintly out of control.

"enough!"

"The scepter of glory can fall into the hands of the kingdom, it is a generous gift from the Lord of Dawn, how can it be traded with others.

What we are going to discuss today is how to get the support of the four countries, not to listen to your bad ideas.As a devout believer, I do not allow anyone to insult my faith!

Countless believers of the Lord of Dawn in China are watching us!I don't want to hear such blasphemy again! "

Caesar IV snapped.

If you can't talk about interests, then talk about beliefs.In this theocratic world, apart from those fanatical arcanists, no noble would dare to blaspheme the gods.

"Your Majesty, if you want the four countries to support us in establishing a separate Holy See, the best choice is actually to turn them into our own people.

Dioceses are directly divided into five, and five patriarchs are introduced, and the religious affairs of each country are handled by each country itself.

It just so happened that the sanctuary sent by the Four Kingdoms hadn't left yet, so they simply had a showdown with them and invited the four of them to serve as the Patriarchs of the Four Kingdoms Diocese respectively.

If other countries join in the future, they can also continue to add great patriarchs, so as to avoid fighting for power and profit. "

Hudson said cruelly.

Some teams have to stand, but he has a special status, neither can fully support the royal family, nor can he directly lead to the noble camp.

If you have to, you can only make a bad move.According to the plan given by Hudson, the royal family got the religious rights, but they didn't get it completely.

The five major pastoral capitals have come out, and all the work has been done, so why do you need the pope?
The difference between the Vatican without the Pope and the Vatican with the Pope is not just a name, but a completely different political status.

In the continent of Aslante, the pope is the only existence and has the supreme power.To say that you are blasphemy is blasphemy.

In contrast, the Patriarch is far behind, nothing more than a more powerful archbishop.If there are too many bullshits, everyone can raise their fists to greet them.

To decide life and death with one word, that is the sole power of the Pope.

If eyes could kill, Archbishop Tyron had already torn Hudson into pieces.We were still good friends yesterday, but today we are going to cut off his papal road, which is simply not a son of man.

"Your Excellency Marshal, the sanctuary sent by the Four Kingdoms is not a clergyman, how can he serve as..."

Before Archbishop Taylor could finish speaking, Hudson forcefully interrupted: "Your Excellency, since we want to establish a new Holy See, we can't be as traditional as before.

They are all believers of the Lord of Dawn. Who stipulates that those who hold a teaching position must be priests?

These are bad habits that hinder the progress of the times. They are all left by the corrupt Holy See to fool the world. In my opinion, just cancel them.

The great Lord of Dawn is tolerant, all believers have the right to serve the gods, and no one can take it away! "

While speaking, Hudson looked at Archbishop Tyron with a hint of apology in his eyes.There is no way, this wave can only be sorry for my friends.

The news of the artifact has already leaked out.The king is now determined to leave the scepter of glory behind, and for this reason he took off the hat of blasphemy.

The position of the aristocratic group is also very clear, that is, the royal family is resolutely not allowed to control the Holy See.

If you continue to make trouble, the situation might get out of control.In order to resolve this dispute, Hudson had to act.

As the price for mediating disputes, the Pope's dream of Archbishop Tyron was directly shattered.

The layout of the five patriarchs was established, and the parishes of the five countries were on an equal footing, even if they held an artifact, they would be at most half a block taller.If you want to be the pope, the other four patriarchs are dead!
