Chapter 693： canonization

"I, the eighteenth emperor of the Radiance Empire, Judy San Lorenzo, in the name of the Lord of Radiance and the Holy Ancestor, canonized Colin Saint Chapman as the Duke of the Empire and conferred the position of Guardian of the Empire!

I hope you will use your loyalty, courage, and wisdom to protect this honor! "

In the Phoenix Palace, Judy's clear and slightly immature voice echoed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will protect the glory you bestow with my life!"

Judy smiled slightly, removed the long sword from Colin's shoulder, took out the Duke's seal from the tray held by the attendant beside him, and gave it to Colin.

The nobles who watched the ceremony did not show much surprise when they watched this scene.

After all, with Colin's current prestige and strength, it is not a surprise to be named a duke.

As for Colin's "real life experience", there have long been some rumors and speculations.

Only this time, Queen Judy, who had just been crowned, officially recognized Colin's identity and handed over the honor and status that should belong to the Saint Chapman family to the newly promoted paladin.

On the other hand, most nobles also felt that they finally understood the real reason why Colin repeatedly targeted the church——

Revenge for the St. Chapman family!

Thinking of the feat that Duke St. Chapman almost succeeded in suppressing the church, many nobles began to move. .

Since the founding of the Shining Empire, the Church has always had the upper hand in the open and secret struggle with the nobles, but now, things have turned around again.

The nobles stared at the heroic young duke in the center of the hall, and suddenly felt that the long-cherished wish that the Duke of St. Chapman failed to fulfill three hundred years ago may have hope in the near future.

Unconsciously, the nobles did not initially resist or resent that Colin became the mastermind behind the empire.

The St. Chapman family is the right-hand man of the royal family. Colin was named the guardian of the empire and helped the emperor to control the empire, so it seemed natural.

This is actually the reason why Colin calmly accepted this identity.

Inheriting the political legacy of the St. Chapman family can better help him control the empire.

After the canonization ceremony, Judy announced a series of edicts.

First of all, she appointed the Duke of St. Grian as the commander of the imperial coalition, responsible for commanding the imperial army stationed in the Loire Valley to advance westward, expel the orcs, and regain lost territory.

This appointment was beyond everyone's expectations.

They thought that the commander of the Imperial Coalition Force was in the pocket of Duke Colin St. Chapman, but unexpectedly, it was given to Duke of St. Grian in the West.

Actually, this was Colin's idea.

Originally, he really planned to personally lead the imperial coalition to recover the lost territory, but the accident in the Eastern Territory made him unable to rest assured, so he had to go there in person to thoroughly sort out the Eastern Territory forces and make it truly his assistant.

In addition, counting the time, Vera's due date is approaching, and Colin didn't want to miss the birth of his child, so he thought of going to Winter City first and then crossing the river to the East, just in time to send back the body of Marquis Garcia. .

As for the orcs, Colin wasn't really worried.

After all, the Orc Emperor Saruman is dead, and the Orc Third Empire has already fallen apart. What remains is a mass of scattered sand fighting each other with many contradictions. I believe that as long as the Duke of St. Grian doesn't make any big mistakes, he will fight steadily and push it evenly. The past is not a problem.

In addition, Judy also appointed a new commander of the Praetorian Guard, nominated a new candidate for the consul of the Scarlet Flame, and made some adjustments to the cabinet ministers.

Generally speaking, it is to promote the cronies and consolidate the rule.

With Colin and the Blood Cavalry behind him, no one dared to oppose this series of appointments.

Gu Shen After the royal meeting ended, the nobles left one after another.

When only Colin and Judy were left in the palace, the newly enthroned queen put away her serious face and returned to her playful and lovely appearance.

I saw her jumping up and down in front of Colin, raised her head and asked:

"Teacher, how was my performance today?"

"Perfect!" Colin touched Judy's head and said with a smile.

After being praised by the teacher, Judy's little face suddenly turned into a flower with a smile.

"Teacher, when are you going back to Winter City?"

"Leave tomorrow."

"So soon?" Judy took Colin's hand with a reluctant expression, "Can I go with you?"

"No, you are the queen now, so you can't run around."

Judy pursed her lips in grievance, and then asked worriedly:

"If you're not here, what if someone bullies me?"

Colin rolled his eyes and said:

"Now Yulongcheng is all our people, who would dare to bully you?"

"Church!" Judy immediately shouted, "Did you not see Mensay's face at the Cathedral of Light this morning? If it wasn't for you, he would have ripped me to the bone!"

Colin laughed and shook his head, saying:

"Mensai is just a cowardly jerk. We humiliated him like this today, humiliating the church in this way, it can almost be said to have shaken the foundation of theocracy over monarchical power, but he still did not dare to tear his face.

Of course, to say that Mensay bowed his head and conceded defeat, I don't think so.

However, looking at his cowardly appearance, you know that he will definitely not dare to attack you, at least until you get rid of me, you will not be in any danger. "

"Ah? Teacher, will you be in danger then?"

"I'm a paladin, and there is a blood cavalry to protect me. What danger can there be?" Colin said with a smile, "Also, Mensay wants to deal with me, and I want to completely pull the church from the altar. Come down. However, now the empire still has internal and external troubles, so let's take a break for the time being.

When the Duke of St. Grian regains the Western Territory, when I completely subdue the Eastern Territory, and finally let the Southern Territory not dare to be half-hearted, at that time, the church can be liquidated and transformed. "

Only then did Judy feel relieved, but she still shook Colin's arm and said coquettishly:

"Teacher, after you leave, how should I govern the country?"

"You can just listen to the Prime Minister, Baron Heidegger. Although he is rigid and strict, his loyalty to the empire is unquestionable, and he also has sufficient governing ability.

In addition, I have already sent people to the north, and I will transfer a few bachelors to help you with government affairs... Moreover, I am also planning to extend the agricultural reform in the north to the entire empire, so you don't have to worry too much about this, Sang The Bachelor will discuss with Baron Heidegger how to proceed...

There is also the establishment of the welfare system. Don't underestimate this. This is actually a powerful tool for truly digging out the foundation of the church! When Gregory attacked Vera desperately, it was because he saw how terrible it was.

As long as the Radiance Empire can establish a welfare system under our control, the status of the church among ordinary people will plummet..."

Judy raised her head and looked at her teacher with reverence. Although she didn't understand many things, Colin's self-confidence gradually infected her, and she forgot the sorrow of parting for a while.
