After Becoming The Tyrant

Holy Court?

The king frowned.

He didn't have a good impression of the Holy Court, and the Legrand royal family had a long-standing enmity with the Holy Court.So far, he has not experienced much Holy Court power.One was during the Change of the Rose, when the Pope suddenly intervened in Legrand's battle for the throne.Once, the Guros family of the Five-Port Alliance regarded the Holy Court as their savior.

The feeling of the Holy Court twice was just a hasty cutscene.

The first time the cardinal withdrew in embarrassment, and the second time the sacred object that Guros wanted to send was intercepted by the Dawson family, and the Holy Court didn't even have time to intervene.

Both times, the Holy Court seemed to be dispensable, and its strength was not obvious.

But don't forget where the king is standing at this time.

——He stood in front of the tombstone of William III, and the death of William III is very likely to have a close relationship with the Holy Court!Will a king who has unified 36 states be vigilant against the power of the holy court?how is this possible!Then, if Legrand's unified national power was once again strong more than ten years ago, and the Legrand royal family had made sufficient preparations, William III would still be killed under the power of the Holy Court.

Is the power of the holy court really just what it showed in these two times?

The king originally thought that they wanted to wait for the coming black death, but what Charles said made him think that there might be another reason.

"Who asked you to convey this sentence?"

The king had no choice but to raise his vigilance against the Holy Court again in his heart.

"You should have heard of her from Hawkins." Charles gave the answer, "The Witch of Walway."

"Yes."

"Before Walway accepted her, she was being hunted down by the Tribunal of the Holy Court. Her name was Greira." Charles explained in detail, "Her prophecies helped Walway avoid many bad lucks."

"Apart from this sentence, is there anything else?" The king wrote down the name "Greira". "Maybe I can meet her."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. She is in a special state and cannot leave the ghost ship, so she has to entrust me to convey it. Galera can't make an accurate interpretation of this prophecy. She can only say that it has something to do with the fish."

It is a prophecy, not just an admonition.

The king's expression turned serious.

school of fish...

He subconsciously thought of the astrologer's prophecy recounted by the devil, "...if they meet together, dead schools of fish will overwhelm the illuminated continent." The king couldn't judge that the witch's prophecy pointed to a future where the devil would solve the Black Death. Still the original future.

If it is the former, then the actions taken by the holy court in the future may be greater than estimated.

The king is inclined to this speculation, because the Holy Court is definitely paying attention to his recent actions.

After the five-port alliance was defeated, the Holy Court did not respond!

No reaction is itself a reaction.

"Actually, I have some doubts, Your Majesty." Charles hesitated for a while and asked, "Why are you so eager to build a navy? Did Legrand lose his old navy because of the disintegration of the Cinque Port Alliance? If you are worried Blacy's words... I don't think they will launch a large-scale attack again anytime soon."

The king recovered from his thoughts, and he denied Charles' guess.

Of course he knew that it was impossible for Blaise to launch a second expedition in a short period of time, otherwise they would not have made such a big concession in Moon River Fortress.

"why?"

Charles was getting more and more puzzled.

"I can feel that your request for the fleet seems to be very urgent."

After the Battle of Kothsoya, the king ordered the remaining armed warships belonging to the Cinque Port Alliance to be counted and numbered-Charles knew that the king probably wanted to directly incorporate them into the royal warships.

"It may not be easy to carry a large fleet with the current strength of the royal family." Charles advised tactfully. It seems that the Duke of Buckingham is there, and he knows the royal family's state of bankruptcy. Wei Pirates is willing to serve you at any time."

The king recognized Charles' kindness.

"It's not for Blacy." He pondered for a while, before answering frankly, "Because I need to block the southeast waters later."

"Block the sea area?"

Charles looked at the king in astonishment, not expecting to hear this answer at all.

"Do you mean the blockade of a port or two?"

"No." The king was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "The entire southeast sea area."

"You..." Charles was speechless for a few minutes. Finally, he calmed down and said in a serious tone, "I don't suggest you do that. No country can afford the consequences of suddenly blocking the sea, which will trigger a full-scale disaster."

Blocking the entire southeast sea area, you don't need to think about how much turmoil it will cause. The business to and from the Abyss Strait will be completely stagnant. Legrand's external commodity exchange will be terminated. Wool cannot be delivered, nor can it be obtained from the other side of the Abyss Strait. items... the scope of the impact will far exceed the disintegration of the five-port alliance.

Not to mention how can a small businessman with poor anti-risk ability survive under such a big move?How should those residents who rely on foreign sales of grain deal with themselves?

Charles was about to tell the king about the consequences when the king interrupted him.

"But what if a city is reduced to dry bones in three days? What if at least 5000 to 1 people die every day? What if an entire country falls into the same catastrophe?[[-] ]”

Following the king's rhetorical questions one after another, Charles frowned deeply.

"The Black Death."

The king gave the answer.

When the word "Black Death" was uttered, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The gentle and refined Charles was stunned for a long time, and murmured: "So it's like this... No wonder you... You've been confirmed, haven't you?"

Charles obviously understands how terrible the Black Death is in this era better than the king, and his tone has changed from original doubts to seriousness.

The king nodded without a smile.

"It's actually like this... Can I ask for some relevant information?" Charles bowed slightly, "I have a shallow understanding of the history of the Black Death, and maybe I can help."

The pirates who roam the sea all the year round are indeed well-informed.

The king pondered for a moment, and selectively told Charles about the Black Death. He thought that since the witch also predicted the "group of fish", then she might be useful in the future, and the blockade of the sea itself could not be separated from Wall. The help of Wei Pirates.

"I think you overlooked one thing."

After hearing this, Charles pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Tell me?"

"The real outbreak of the Black Death is not in January." Charles stared at the king with azure eyes, his expression serious, "It is very likely...it has already begun to appear."

The king understood what Charles meant almost instantly.

The king had news from the Devil in October, and four months later the outbreak—that is to say, in January there would be the Black Death in Legrand.But before the Black Death broke out in the southeast, it must have swept across the continent across the Abyss Strait.

damn it.

The king understood where the problem was.

He was deliberately misled by the devil!

The news given by the devil appears to be true, but in fact it has a strong orientation—it makes people feel that the Black Death swept across many countries at the same time four months later.

This is not the case. It is true that many countries will fall into the quagmire of the Black Death at the same time in January, but before that, the start time of each country's suffering from the Black Death is different.

It is sprawling!

That damned, lying, insidious fraudster.

Of course, the king did not trust the devil, otherwise he would not have prepared early.But he was still affected to some extent by the so-called "fate line" and the devil - his calculation of time was wrong.

He made this series of preparations on the basis that the Black Death began to break out in the whole world in January.

It is now the end of November.

In the king's original budget, he still has at least one full month to make various arrangements.

But in reality, he doesn't have that much time.

If the Black Death has begun to show signs at this time, then by January, the king will face an international political situation that is completely different from the early days of the Black Death outbreak.Even, he must be on guard against the introduction of the Black Death from now on. He had doubts about the devil in the first place, and now he has raised this doubt to the peak.

For a king, the most terrible thing is that his arrangements have deviated.

Because any deviation from him may have terrible consequences for the entire country.

The king had to re-examine whether the devil proposed the "Black Death" really just to prevent the former Templar commander from doing it? ——Just like the hell line, the devil probably had other plans when he brought up the "Black Death"... The bone ring obtained in yesterday's hell line is very likely to be related to this matter.

The king's face was suddenly shrouded in coldness.

Charles noticed the change in his breath: "Maybe you need some overseas spies...to monitor the situation on the other side of the Abyss Strait for you?"

This is indeed what the king needs at this time.

"Wolwe's brother is at your service, Sire."

Charles showed a faint smile, as if he wasn't talking about driving a ship across the Abyss Strait to a dangerous area where the Black Death might start to appear.

"Don't worry, we won't stop at any port in Legrand. If someone is unfortunately infected, he will never set foot on the land of Legrand."

The king was silent for a moment: "Please be careful."

"Don't worry." Charles stood up straight and smiled, "The ghost ship has its own peculiarities."

There was a touch of pride in his words.

The king probably understood why William III, Duke of Buckingham, had developed such a friendship with the Walwe pirates.

——Because they were also geniuses of that era.

Charles left in a hurry, making preparations for lifting the curse and going to sea for the king.

………………

The end of November.

A series of writs were issued from the palace almost on the same day:

The king ordered the architect of the asylum to come and see him immediately, and the professor of architecture from the Royal Academy rushed to the palace at once.

The king asked Baron Sheen, who was forming a new army, to come to Merz Castle immediately.

The King appointed Hawkins to officially become Commander of the Royal Fleet.

The king announced the official establishment of the "Free Chamber of Commerce".

The author has something to say: [1] The outbreak of the Black Death in the Middle Ages can almost be equated with the end of the world.The data in this article is not fabricated by me, but the real situation during the historical Black Death pandemic.In that era, when the epidemic was at its worst, 1 to 5000 people died a day in Cairo, and Gaza lost 2 people and most of its animals in six weeks. Once the Black Death arrived, it often took only three months. One day a city will be empty.
