Chapter 57

In 2704, driven by the feudal system, the first empire of mankind, the Hussein Empire, was established. It was the most powerful force in the secular world at that time.

However, another characteristic of the vassal system is revealed, that is, it must be continuously expanded. Because the core of the vassal system is to bring more people into their camp and share common interests.

Because of the support of the vassals, the Lords gathered more strength and gained greater power, and more and more people shared their interests.

In order to obtain the status of vassal, the people of the Hussein Empire showed great enthusiasm for work. 200 years later, the Empire of Hussein reached its strongest peak, and the voice of vassal expansion became louder and louder. Hussein III decided to expand and unify the human world.

After the war began, Hussein III was shocked to find that things were not as smooth as he thought, because the church's noose was still on the Lords' heads.

The Empire of Hussein is really strong. It can mobilize 50000 troops at a time, which no kingdom can resist. However, any battle with more than 10000 people will cause a rebound in the church.

It's like a strong man who is tied up to duel with others. No matter how strong he is, he can't make it out. The rolling war was rigidly fought into an oil war. Other kingdoms also knew the limits of the church and made full use of this rule. They formed an alliance, supported each other and resolutely resisted the annexation of the Empire. Because they also have vassals.

After more than 40 years of war, the progress of the Hussein empire was not great, while the internal contradictions of other kingdoms were greatly alleviated, but the size of the Empire was too large to afford to delay. Because the vassal did not enjoy the war bonus, he began to express dissatisfaction with the emperor.

The Hussein empire was forced to open up the wilderness.

With the support of the church, the empire made good progress, but it also consumed huge national strength. The neighbors of the Empire, however, took advantage of the weakness of the Empire and began to invade the territory of the Empire. The fundamental reason was still the vassal system.

Back and forth for hundreds of years, the Hussein empire finally collapsed, and a new empire rose on its body.

Since then, the human nobles began. You sang my right game, but no Empire has existed for more than 1500 years.

The tragedy of the Hussein empire made all the Lords feel the same. They were more and more dissatisfied with the strength of the church. They put pressure on the church through various means and asked to expand the scale of the war. But the church remained unmoved. They claimed that the glorious code was sacred and inviolable. If the Lords dared to violate the glorious code, the church would take back the dominion of the Lords. At the same time, the church also asked the lords to make more efforts to explore the wilderness and be willing to provide free support, but it was unanimously despised by the Lords.

Out of resentment against the church, the Lords began to relax their pursuit of witches. They hoped to make trouble for the church in this way. Coupled with the vassal system, the influence of the church on civilians was greatly weakened. Wizards began to be active again in the human world, and many wizard organizations have been established successively.

The emergence of the wizard organization did cause a lot of trouble to the church. Although the church was very powerful at this time, the wizards were repeatedly suppressed and intensified due to the non cooperation of the Lord.

At this time, the church's control over the civilian class has weakened. In addition, the awakened people are all civilian children and are often sheltered by their relatives and friends, which makes the church a headache for these mouse like wizard organizations. In response to this situation, the church set up a inquisition.

In order to eliminate wizard organizations, the tribunal took fierce measures to suppress ordinary people who sheltered wizards, most of whom were relatives of wizards, which aroused the hatred of wizards against the church.

Driven by the pressure of survival and hatred, the wizard organization began to merge. In 5014, the wizard organization Pantheon was born.

With hatred for the church, the radical wizard group constantly assassinated the clergy of the church, especially the members of the tribunal.

For the activity of the Pantheon, the Lords chose to stand idly by. Despite the repeated warnings of the glorious church, they were just pretending.

The Pantheon never attacks civilians and nobles, which makes the church very weak, because if wizards do not attack civilians, they cannot trigger the Lord's responsibility to protect. According to the glorious code, the Church cannot judge the Lord's dereliction of duty because of the Lord's negativity, and it cannot punish the Lord's inaction.

For thousands of years, everyone knows the rigidity of the church and learns to make use of it. However, for thousands of years, people also forget the terrible of wizards.

In this way, the Pantheon and the referee's office lingered for hundreds of years until the birth of Blair's sister and brother.

In 5423, the referee's office received a report that a pair of twin sisters and brothers, sister Blair and brother Brian, who awakened the wizard's talent, were found in a village.

When the paladins of the tribunal arrived at the village, they found that the sister and brother were missing. Obviously, they were hidden by the villagers. The paladins saw this much more, and the way to deal with it was very simple. They gathered the villagers and killed the child's parents and then grandparents in front of everyone. In this way, all the children's relatives were killed. Then, they began to kill other villagers. Then the villagers gave in and handed over the sisters and brothers.

On the way back with the Blair brothers and sisters, the members of the Pantheon attacked them and rescued them. Although the church organized forces to pursue, they found nothing. Finally, they had no choice but to record the event in the archives of the tribunal. At that time, such things were also very common.

They did not know that more than 20 years later, the sisters and brothers brought great disasters to the church and changed the pattern of the whole human world.

More than ten years later, Blair's sister and brother began to be active in the action of the Pantheon and showed great strength. Her sister Blair is good at manipulating various elements. She is invincible and unmatched in fighting with the clergy. One look can ignite a paladin and burn it to ashes, while Brian just stands beside her quietly, just like a bystander.

The powerful Blair was elected as the leader of the Pantheon by the Wizards. Under her leadership, the Pantheon smashed the church again and again, and retaliated against the church again and again. Finally, the Pantheon broke through a cathedral of the shining church and killed a cardinal, which led to the collapse of a diocese. Blair has since been called a great wizard.

The Pope was angry and the LORD rejoiced.

Under the order of the Pope, the referee went out to challenge the Pantheon. They knew Blair would fight because her sister and brother's enemies were among them and because she had just positive ability.

Blair's brother and sister came. They faced more than 300 elite paladins, more than 20 paladins, a cardinal and the referee's legendary Paladin Bethel.

During the battle, Bethel had the wings of an angel formed by the intersection of wind elements and holy light. With the blessing of the cardinal, his whole body flashed runes, surrounded by holy fire, and the field of wind elements of the legendary Paladin expanded, stirring the void elements into turbulence. When he charged Blair, he was as dazzling as a meteor falling to the ground.

But Blair stretched out a white and tender finger and pointed it on the Mithril sword, turning Bethel into an ice sculpture. The legendary Paladin Bethel fell.

Then, the priests launched a suicide attack on the wizard, ushering in a ruthless massacre. The Inquisition was completely destroyed.

The Pope was shocked, the LORD was shocked.

This time, the wizard once again showed the world what extraordinary power is, and the attitude of the Lords quietly changed 180 degrees.

The Lords knew that no family could resist Blair, not even the royal family. Although the church is also unparalleled, they put chains on their lords and themselves at the same time. And wizards are unrestricted!

Finally, with the cooperation of the Lord, the church spent several years leading the Pantheon to a valley desperate situation. There, the Pope visited in person, accompanied by the Pope (the head of the Bishop), six archbishops, 27 legendary paladins, and the order of glory of 5000 people. Such a lineup is enough to push the secular world.

The outcome of the battle is not in suspense, but the cost is unbelievable.

As the members of the Pantheon died one by one, Brian finally let people know what his ability is!

During the battle, Brian kept close to his sister and remained silent as always. However, the priests found that any magic entering his surroundings turned into nothingness, including the element power of the knight. However, Blair could surpass the limitations of the law in his field and reach the casting level of the wizard era.

As a result, the shining Knights shot an overwhelming rain of arrows at Brian. Although Blair tried to intercept it, Brian took a step forward and died calmly.

Brian, who was on the verge of death, turned into a virtual shadow and integrated into Blair's body in full view of the public. Then the witch's power rose steadily. The laws of the world seemed to have no effect on her. She was the master of earth, fire, wind and water, showing the power of natural disasters.

Fire and rain wrapped in magma, hurricane with ice cone, the earth cracked and thunder fell like rain. For a time, the church suffered heavy casualties.

The Pope blew the golden horn at the cost of his life. Six glorious angels fell from the sky and fought with witches for a long time. Finally, Blair was purified.

This war led to the loss of the main force of Guanghui church, and its vitality was greatly damaged, while the lords were ready to move.

In the following 1500 years, two major events occurred, which led to drastic changes in the church.

700 years ago, Emperor V of the RAND Empire took advantage of the scuffle of the northern lords to recover the nomads. His territory expanded to the northern plain with the intention of encroaching on the Northern Territory.

He mobilized 50000 free people to build xiongcheng in strategic areas, which has killed more than 7000 people. The church once again killed emperor Rand on the charge of slaughtering free people!

This event shocked the human world because it was not in line with the consistent practice of the church.

First of all, the Lords have already tried to find out that a war that killed more than 10000 people will be interfered by the church, and Emperor Rand did not touch this bottom line. The death of free people is not caused at once, let alone by war, which is unreasonable!

Second, Emperor Rand V was beheaded on the spot, rather than being publicly executed after being arrested, which is also unreasonable!

It was precisely because of this strange thing that led to the decline of the RAND Empire, which aroused the indignation of all lords. Under the surging undercurrent, the white tower camp officially appeared, and the Lords joined this loose alliance aimed at joint self-protection.

300 years ago, there was a scandal in Al, the Holy See. The Lord of the white tower camp took the opportunity to send troops to al. Finally, the glorious Pope announced that he would not interfere in the specific affairs of the church. Al, the Holy See, announced that it would secede from the jurisdiction of the church and join the crumbling Rand Empire at that time.

The church signed the new covenant of light with the Lords under the representatives of the Pope, the magistrate and the Presbyterian group. The New Testament is based on the glorious code and adds a provision that the church will no longer execute the lords who violate the glorious code, but will instead be imprisoned.

On the other hand, the human Lord also swore in the glorious cathedral that he would never reveal the scandal, nor record and talk about it in any form.

——————————

"King, continue to analyze." After thinking about it, Victor gave orders to Tallinn.

"My Lord, this history reveals a message that changes have indeed taken place within the church."

"Of course, the Pope withdrew from the center of power and became a spiritual leader, and the church is jointly run by the Pope, monastery and tribunal. Hey, I really want to know what the scandal is? It can force the Pope to step down. Unfortunately, Edwin said he didn't know, hum! I guess it might be a beautiful story." Victor gossip.

"My Lord, the relationship between this scandal and women is almost zero in terms of the aristocratic attitude towards reproduction in the world."

After hearing the king's words, Victor felt ashamed and flustered. He thought of the absurd and beautiful banquet with Sylvia.

The nobles in this world have lost all their integrity for their noble blood! Maybe I'm green myself......

Victor felt a little sour when he thought of his nominal wife, the beautiful Marquis Sophia.

Nicole won't give me a green hat, will she?! Thinking of this, Victor was a little restless. It seemed that Nicole was his wife and Sophia was just a stranger.

"Your Excellency, a scandal cannot bring down the Pope. Only power can do that." The king continued, ignoring Victor's uncertain expression.

"I guess the Knights have taken control of the church."

"What? What are you talking about?!" Victor asked in shock, unable to continue his struggle.

"My Lord, the foundation of the church is divinity, and the clergy who make up the church are actually divided into two camps, ordinary people and paladins. And paladins are actually knights."

"The turning point occurred in the decisive battle between the church and the Pantheon. That battle hurt the vitality of the church, but it really hurt the vitality of ordinary clergy, and the paladin estimated that the loss was small."

"Why do you say that?" Asked victor.

"My Lord, you move at a speed of more than 25 meters per second in the state of apocalypse. Coupled with strong perception and accurate control of x-3, you have a much higher chance of survival in the face of natural disasters than ordinary people. Then, what about knights with high unity of strength and spirit? What about Knights of silver rank? What about Paladins in the legendary field?"

"I see what you mean. The legendary paladins are far more likely to survive in the face of a large-scale attack than ordinary clergy, so they survived. The ordinary clergy died and suffered heavy casualties. The most important thing is the death of the Pope, which leaves a huge power gap. Therefore, the paladins occupy more rights within the church." Victor nodded.

"The key is not the death of the Pope, but the weakening of the Pope. The 12 glorious angels can only summon 6 and pay the price of their lives, and the paladins see this. Maybe the golden horn has fallen into the hands of the paladins." The king added.

The Pope, who has been in charge of the golden horn from generation to generation, is the leader of the church, but he is the representative of ordinary clergy. Ordinary clergy and paladins are incompatible. This is caused by the great disparity of power. Knights are far stronger than ordinary people, and the same is true in the church. But they have been suppressed by the Pope for thousands of years. Now, if they seize the opportunity, they will certainly seize power.

"No wonder the subsequent actions of the church showed a strong aristocratic style and a taste of conspiracy. Emperor Rand may have been murdered." Victor said coldly that a rigid church is more in the interests of the Lord. No one likes a church that can play tricks.

"In the final analysis, paladins are also knights. They can't get rid of their desire for Knight blood. Intermarriage with other families makes them form a new camp and teach Knight camp." The king continued.

"The death of emperor Rand must be in the interests of this camp, and they are testing the rules of the glorious code, which is fully in line with the needs of the Lord. It must be that the Lord of the church Knight camp manipulated this thing, so there is the white tower camp. It is not aimed at the church, but against the church Knight camp." Victor figured out a lot of things in an instant.

"I just don't understand why the white tower camp joined forces with the church Knight camp to force the Pope to abdicate. This is not in the interests of the white tower camp."

"My Lord, why can't the white tower camp and the Pope unite against the church Knight camp? They just failed. The abdication of the Pope and the signing of the New Testament of light show this. Only the paladin camp is the winner." Said the king.

"The New Testament of light? What do you say?" Victor's heart moved, but he didn't catch the key point. He simply asked.

"The church Knight camp should have two purposes for murdering emperor Rand. The first is the need of political interests, and the second is to test the rules of the glorious code."

"It's true that emperor Rand was killed, but I'm afraid it wasn't the paladins, because they were backfired when they tried to test the rules of the code. Those priests who performed the task lost their power. The secular Knights disguised as paladins should kill."

"There are two points that confirm my inference. First, they did not escort emperor Rand back to the Holy See, but killed him on the spot. If the clergy had not been backfired, this would not have happened."

"Second, the New Testament of light stipulates that the Lord who violates the glorious code is no longer executed, but imprisoned. On the surface, it is beneficial to the Lord, but in fact, it expands the law enforcement power of the church and is very unfavorable to the Lord."

"Fuck!" Victor's face was livid and made a rude remark.

Hearing this, he had fully understood.

The church Knight camp seized the control of the church. They wanted to use the power of the church to obtain greater political interests for themselves. Therefore, they needed to test the rules of the glorious code, and Emperor Rand was their goal. After all, Emperor Rand did not violate the bottom limit of the glorious code, so the church Knight camp was backfired. This led to the establishment of the white tower camp. Later, the white tower camp tried to help the Pope, but failed, and was forced to sign the New Testament of light. The New Testament of light gives the church Knight camp the power to enforce the law, which means that if they need to deal with a lord, they will detain the Lord on the charge of killing free people. Because they didn't kill the Lord, they wouldn't be deprived of power, which also proves that they were eaten back in their first temptation, so they came up with this move.

"Why didn't the church Knight camp unify the human world?" Asked Victor, puzzled.

Now the church Knight camp is both a policeman and a judge, taking advantage of it, but it has dragged on for 300 years without any major movement.

"I believe the white tower camp has allied with the ordinary clergy in the church. After all, there are more ordinary clergy in the church, and the white tower camp is not without countermeasures."

"What means?" Victor asked immediately, which was closely related to him.

"Total war!" Said the king.

Victor suddenly realized that yes, if the church Knight camp dares to use the power of the church to unify the human world, the Lords of the white tower camp will expand the scale of the war without limit until the glorious Lord is angry, recovers the divine power, or allows the wizard to return to the world. It's a big deal that everyone will be finished together!

"It seems that the situation can maintain the status quo, and the paladin can't get around the limitations of the glorious code." Victor breathed a sigh of relief. Now he has small arms and legs, but he can't help tossing.

"My Lord, the unification of the human world is in the interests of the Lord, and now it is in line with the will of the church. Unification is inevitable. The white tower Lord can sign the new covenant of light, which shows that they will not fight with the church knights to the end. The reason why they still retain this camp is to negotiate conditions and strive for more interests. But you must note that the big Lord in the white tower camp Once they get the benefits they want, they will leave the camp. The white tower camp is just a chip for them. Adults, you must prepare early. "

The Guangming New Testament stipulates that the Lord will no longer be executed. In fact, the two camps set the bottom line of the struggle. You can fight, you can talk, you can form an alliance, you can marry, but the child and your last name just don't kill each other, or everyone will die together.

"You're right, but I'm located in a remote place. Even if those big lords use their brains, they can't get here. We have time to develop our strength. Now we have two strategies, one is to make more money, and the other is not to make cannon fodder." Victor replied with a smile.

It's always pleasant to watch the tiger fight. Victor doesn't have the ambition to dominate the world. He wants to better his little life.

"By the way, king, what if the glorious code collapses? Will the world end?" Victor asked somewhat melancholy.

The Knights have no faith in the Lord of glory. They have just mastered the church and began to test the rules of the code of glory. They may have really played bad by them. They are still honest and lovely by the Pope's family.

"My Lord, the glorious code will not collapse. In fact, the Pope I sets a shackle for his successors in order to limit the clergy's abuse of divine power. The glorious code itself does not produce power. The source of divine power is the contract between the Pope I and the Lord of glory. I think the power of the clergy will collapse only when the devil is connected with the world again And then the Lord of glory will be touched. "

"But even so, it won't be the end of the world." The king added.

"Why are you so sure? The Lord of glory is a powerful power to change the laws of the world. How can we resist the devil as his opponent?" Victor asked somewhat anxiously.

"My Lord, you look too high at the power of these extraordinary creatures and underestimate the power of human beings. I never think the Lord of glory has changed the world law. If he has really changed the world law, why can the alchemy tower obviously belonging to extraordinary power still be used?"

"Even so, why do you think human beings have stronger power?" Victor asked again.

"Neither the awakened nor the church is at the same level as the alchemy empire. However, mankind has created the alchemy empire."

"Do you think we are descendants of the naril Empire?"

"It is as like as two peas in the same age as the human beings.

"But the neryl empire was destroyed. It may be the backbone of the devil or the glory."

"My Lord, there is no more evidence to prove this, but there are signs that the naril Empire killed countless powerful supernatural creatures, made them into an alchemy tower, fought against the invading aliens and defeated them."

The king's words left Victor speechless.

"My Lord, your vision is limited by the human beings here. The world is so big that you can't imagine. How can you be sure that the human beings here are the only human group in the world? Their thousands of years of history represents the history of all human beings? The naril empire is thousands of times stronger than the chosen one, and you haven't explored the endless forest. To the north of the trier mountains and to the south of the Jinshui River, it's still in the end Disappeared in the long river of history, compared with such a vast world, extraordinary creatures are not very powerful. "

The king's words made Victor feel suddenly enlightened. Yes, maybe it was because the alchemy Empire explored the world and encountered an alien race. Unable to resist, it made the devil into an alchemy tower and defeated the alien race. Therefore, the devil wanted to exterminate the descendants of the alchemy Empire, and they could not even directly intervene in human beings, but only through deception, Will the Lord of glory be the alchemical life made by the alchemical Empire? That's why he shows the regularized characteristics of life!

Thinking of this, Victor only felt that the haze had dissipated, giving birth to a feeling that the world was so big and wanted to see it.

"After talking so much, I felt that it was all boring things. It was not as affordable as the alchemy militia." Victor smiled bitterly.

"The king, began to make alchemy militia. This time, he loaded short weapon mastery, long-range weapon mastery, and spirit monkey secret form." Victor ordered that both extraordinary creatures and the struggle between the church and the great nobility were too far away from him. It was serious to survive.

"Yes, my Lord." The king faithfully performed his duties

"My Lord, the alchemy militia has mutated!"

"What?"
