About a hundred years ago, 224 years after the founding of the Second Empire.
Among the "barbarian tribes" regarded by the population of Ronisia, the Ottoman Emperor Catrovia III captured the capital of the Second Empire of Ronisia with almost no effort, and the Second Empire was destroyed.
People could never imagine how the Second Empire, which had a glorious civilization, thousands of magicians, and tens of thousands of heavily armored warriors, lost to a bunch of barbarians who couldn't read a single word.
Fortunately, the emperor's bloodline was not completely cut off. The last emperor Grius XI also had a niece, Zoe Paleologina, known as "Princess Sofia".
Later, the princess married Paul II, the then Grand Duke of the Principality of Valgin. Their children inherited the throne and controlled most of the rights of the Principality of Valgin.
After this talented and strategic lord unified the north, he renamed the principality the Varking Empire, and also claimed to be the orthodox successor of Ronisia, referred to as "Third Ronisia".
This move angered the victors who had just fought in the war. The then emperor Kate IV changed the name of the country to "The Third Reich of Ronisia" and immediately sent his troops north to start a head-on confrontation with the Varking Empire.
The two sides debated for a hundred years on the topic "Who is the legitimate heir of Lonesia?" However, they used more than just their words to debate.
Kate IV then visited the pope at the time, and at the cost of recognizing the church's religious leadership status in the Western Continent and helping it establish its own country, he ceded, no, "gifted" almost all of the southern territory to the church.
Then the newly established Papal State immediately joined the war. A total of more than ten countries participated in this war, and the war affected no less than a hundred families.
After the Papal State entered the war, the Varking Empire denied its legitimacy and claimed that it was the successor of Lonicia and that its own church was the orthodox church on the mainland. So everyone called this war a religious war.
The war has progressed to this day, and the armaments, magic, and technology of various countries have entered a period of rapid development, and many outstanding generals and armies have also been born, such as the Monkey Corps of the Third Reich, the Special Investigation Brigade, and the Holy Temple of the Papal State. Knights, Cross Guards, etc...
When Hilton heard Colonel Eugen tell him that he had been assigned to the Special Investigation Brigade, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He... was he preparing to go to the front line?
Colonel Eugen turned back and glanced sideways at Hilton, roughly guessing what Hilton was thinking, "What? You don't want to go to the front line?"
Hilton shook his head, "That's not true. My father has taken me to the battlefield before. I just don't understand why he asked me to join the Special Investigation Brigade."
"You boy, don't be dissatisfied." Colonel Eugen took Hilton to a platform beside the track, as if waiting for something.
"You have to know how difficult it is to join the Special Investigation Brigade. Being from a military family is just the basis. Most people can't get in if they want to..."
"No, it's not that I don't want to join..." Hilton was a little flustered and didn't know how to organize his words.
"You don't know why you were chosen, do you?" A powered locomotive slowly drove into the platform with a harsh noise, and Colonel Eugen pulled Hilton onto the locomotive.
"First, you have been in contact with that thing. According to the people above, they originally wanted to kill you directly. Who made you become a good father..."
Hilton was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "What about him? Oh no... I mean... um... what about the Papal State?" Colonel Eugen lit up a cigarette again, "And We are almost there. All the civilians who learned about this incident were secretly executed. As for the nobles, they should be similar to ours."
"What? Why is this..." Hilton looked at Colonel Eugen and found that there was only indifference in his eyes. Colonel Eugen looked at him as if he were looking at a retard.
It’s as if the main villain has been defeated in the script, but the supporting character stands up in front of the protagonist and asks, why can’t you two get along well? No, I can't accept it. How can you do this? Words like that.
"Because this is God's taboo." Hilton was stunned. He thought that Colonel Eugen might have countless reasons, but he never expected it to be such an abstract four-word word, God's taboo? what is that?
"You just need to know that people who have seen taboos will either shut up and guard this secret, or shut up completely and have no chance to tell this secret? So, which one do you choose?"
Hilton was silent for a long time, "So Colonel, what do you need me to do?" "No, kid, you made a mistake. It's not what we need you to do, but what God needs you to do."
Hilton felt like he was going to collapse from this short conversation. Colonel Eugen almost turned into a bastard in his eyes, even though this bastard didn't seem to have any pious faith in religion.
"So what does God need me to do? And Mr. Colonel, you just said the first, what about the second?"
"The second thing is that you may be familiar with the opponent you will face next, so see for yourself."
Colonel Eugen put out the cigarette butt and threw it out the window. He took out a document bag from the suitcase. It looked pure black in appearance and seemed to have a silver logo on it.
"This doesn't seem to be ours?" Hilton asked tentatively.
"All you need to know is that in order to get this thing, more than a hundred people from the investigation brigade died." Hilton's tone did not waver at all, as if he didn't know these more than a hundred people.
"Then what is this?"
"A file."
Hilton had never thought that the value of a file was equal to hundreds of lives. "Who is this file about?" Looking at the silver badge and lead seal on it, Hilton didn't know why Eugen threw this document to him. What's the meaning.
"About the current Pope, open it." Eugen did not look at Hilton, but turned to look out the window.
After Hilton opened the file, he pulled out a thick stack of paper. Most of the content was blacked out, leaving only a few words in each paragraph. Hilton ran through countless possibilities in his mind. You won’t let me assassinate the Pope, right? Hilton thought to himself.
"This is the second reason for choosing you. Turn this document to the back. This is your future goal."
Hilton quickly flipped through the materials in his hand, thinking that he probably didn't know the people around the Pope. He had never seen the Pope himself until he saw that name.
"How could it be him!" Hilton exclaimed.
