According to the marching speed of the Holy See.
You can reach the royal capital directly the next day.
However, due to the problems encountered by the Sun Knights, the Holy See planned to stay in Dalton City for one more day, citing the fatigue of traveling and traveling, to delay the escape and rush there.
But the next day.
The royal capital sent an urgent messenger.
Informed that Wald XVIII was critically ill and was about to die, and that the eldest prince, His Highness Simon, would be crowned soon and hoped to receive the blessing of the Pope of Light.
Great, another threatening letter.
If the Holy See cannot catch up, the royal capital will probably not wait any longer. Instead, they will be crowned according to royal etiquette and the Senate of the Empire will preside over the ceremony.
In that case, the new king would not be crowned by the Holy See of Light, which would probably be a signal in the eyes of interested people.
For ordinary people.
Maybe it's just a little thing.
But for the Holy See’s ambition to rule the continent.
This is a wanton trampling of divine authority!
Xu Shuo had no reaction yet.
The archbishops of the Priesthood Council were already furious and jumped up on the spot, with bright auras floating around their bodies, as if they were about to start a fight.
According to the player's capital creation process.
In fact, players do not need to care about the authority of the Holy See. They only need to win the final battle for power, but Xu Shuo still has a character card slot to be filled.
So he thought about the Pope's temper.
It seems he can't bear it either.
I can’t wait any longer, I must go this time.
Although the ice and snow elves once ridiculed this: Today's Holy See only regards the God of Light as a tool to gain power, and has long lost the awe and belief in the gods in its heart.
But for the Pope, he actually truly admires and admires the God of Light who does not know whether he exists or not.
Not to mention the Pope of Light.
Every bishop sincerely believes in it.
After all, the sun crown mark in their bodies is the best proof, and this is also the only miracle of the God of Light now.
But the ice and snow elf said something that was not wrong.
That is, most believers actually no longer care about belief in gods. They simply enjoy the status brought by the Holy See.
This is also the reason why although the Holy See of Light now has countless believers, it is difficult for bishops to be born.
Because faith has begun to grow from profit.
…
Before dawn.
In the city-state of Dalton, the mighty team of the Holy See Army was ready to set off again.
Catalina disguised herself as a maid of the Holy See and successfully entered the pope's majestic and bright car for the reason of serving. For this reason, she also suffered the looks of several bishops.
"You humans always like these superficial forms, which are vulgar and complicated, and you create a shackles for yourself for no reason."
Catalina said while looking at the team outside.
Xu Shuo held up his chin: "If you are envious, you can just say it. I won't laugh at you. After all, you ice and snow elves really can't do this in that desolate place."
Catalina: "..."
She then sneered: "I heard that the reason why your Holy See rushed to the royal capital in a hurry is to have a place at the coronation ceremony of a new king. But with all due respect, there is no need at all. Since you have already planned to tear up the Why bother to worry about these superficial forms when we start a war with a broken face?"
Xu Shuo smiled: "I agree with you. But there are some things that you don't care about, but the world does, and you need to be recognized by the world."
Does the Holy See really care that much about the coronation ceremony of the new king?
Yes, I really care.
Walder XIII, the first rebel, intended to trample the Holy See's divine power under his feet.
Although he has failed.
But his will was conveyed by certain people and certain things, so he had
Now he has met the second person who once again trampled on the divine power - Wald XVIII.
If the Holy See is indifferent to Wald XVIII's provocation this time.
So how will the world view the Holy See?
It turns out that the rights of divine authority are nothing more than this.
It turns out that above this superior divine power, there is also a more powerful imperial power!
What the Holy See needs is not only the faith of ordinary free people, but also the recognition and support of those powerful people. Only in this way can the theocracy remain standing!
Otherwise, the power of true faith, which has already been sharply reduced, may be like a toppling domino, affecting the whole body.
Even if this card is thousands of miles away.
But it will all fall eventually.
Therefore, as long as someone tries to knock down the first card, the Holy See will cut off his fingers without hesitation!
Until no one dares to reach out anymore!
What the Holy See needs is the majesty from divine authority!
"So, there are still many things you have to learn on this continent. Don't think that you can understand everything just by reading a textbook." Xu Shuo said leisurely, holding his chin.
"Humans are so power-hungry, that's why you have endless wars." Catalina snorted.
"It's as if you elves didn't start the biggest war."
"..."
"And there have been no wars on the mainland for more than a thousand years. The wars were all started by your pets in the Far North Mountains."
"..."
"And this continental war was started by your ice elves cooperating with the Saint Valo royal family."
"…………"
After hearing that last sentence, Catalina, who was choked and speechless, suddenly paused.
She protested: "Wait a minute, this war on the continent is obviously a dispute between your Holy See of Light and the Empire. What does it have to do with our Ice Elf clan!"
Xu Shuo lazily said, "Your sister struck first and seriously injured the Duke of Silver in Silver City."
"That is also a war between your Holy See and the Empire!"
"Your sister struck first."
"The prophecy says that only you, the Holy See and the Empire!"
"Your sister struck first."
"...#!"
This ice and snow elf was so angry that it began to spread snowflakes unconsciously.
Xu Shuo smiled and waved away the chill: "Suppress your elf aura, otherwise the light mark in your body may become hot due to the stimulation of Dawn Faith."
The words fell.
Catalina immediately calmed down.
In order to follow this guy, Catalina finally accepted the mark of Light Faith in humiliation and let the damn sun crown symbol be imprinted in her body.
This is the mark from the light faith, and you will be burned if you are not careful.
Catalina stopped talking and gritted her teeth angrily.
At this moment, Xu Shuo, who was obsessed with teasing the ice and snow elves to pass the time, flashed his eyes.
He looked up and looked outside the car.
The sight covered by the sun crown passed through the armor and through the curtains of the bright car, and saw the leading officer leading an army outside.
The officer wore a tightly sewn helmet, with only a slit for his eyes, making his face completely unclear.
Xu Shuo stared at him with an interested smile on his lips.
Although he is a little blind.
But there’s also a bit of perspective.
It's really interesting that the contemporary king of the St. Varro Empire, Walder XVIII, actually disguised himself as an ordinary general and came to greet his bright car in person.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the Holy See Army.
It was the army sent by the royal capital to respond.
…
