Lord of War

The Northern Principality Federation, the full name of the Northern 36 Principality Alliance, is a powerful Principality Federation government formed around the Church of God of War. It radiates control of dozens of smaller principalities in the surrounding area, and aims to become the second theocratic kingdom of the Marvel Continent as its lifetime goal. And developing.

  Of course, all this is in the past tense.

  After being privately referred to by many behind-the-scenes powerhouses in the Marvel Continent as the "War of Destiny", the pivotal battle, although it once led to the weakening of the Church of the God of War and the stagnation of the Northern Principality Federation. But it is a pity that, as the most qualified and opportunity to eat the entire Northern Duchy Federation, St. Joel's Empire also fell into various chaotic situations, which led to the complete loss of this opportunity to conquer the opponent.

  After that, under the leadership of Emily, the saint of the Church of God of War, not only the Church of God of War re-emerged with a tough posture, but even the Commonwealth of the Northern Principality also completed a rebirth change.

Today’s North Principality Federation has become the second theocratic kingdom on the Marvel Continent: the Kingdom of the God of War. In a sense, Emily, the saint of the Church of the God of War, can be regarded as the realization of the Church of the God of War for thousands of years. All are eager to obtain a major achievement.

  However, as the second theocratic kingdom, the Kingdom of God of War is more extreme in some actions than the Empire of Saint Joles.

  For example, there is no kingship in the Kingdom of God of War.

  The highest authority of the kingdom is the Church of God of War, and the Church of God of War abolished the position of the pope, and the saint will lead the church with the highest authority and concurrently serve as the king. All the territories of the thirty-six duchy returned to the Church of God of War. The top leaders of the thirty-six duchy, the thirty-six grand dukes, retained their titles, but no longer enjoyed the power of the kingdom’s territories: in other words, these thirty If the six grand princes want to divide the territories to their retainers, they can only divide them from their direct territories.

  Instead, Emily has the power to enclose and reclaim the territory of the entire Kingdom of War God: this can greatly strengthen the piety of the followers of the God of War.

  However, in order to guarantee the rights and interests of the original princes, the Kingdom of the Gods of War also made a promise: without obtaining merits that are significant enough to be recognized by more than half of the princes, the highest ranking of the lord of any of the people of the Kingdom of War is a duke. Regarding the distinction between the Duke and the Grand Duke, Emily has also worked hard and set many gap lines: for example, the Duke’s immediate territory is only two-thirds of the Grand Duke’s, and the Duke’s commercial taxes and agricultural taxes. The annual tax paid by the Territory is 15%, and the Dagong is 10%, and the Dagong can have up to two duty-free caravans with a size of no more than four cars.

The tariff system, this is a very important source of tax revenue for the Kingdom of God of War-at least during the Northern Principality Federation period. In order to guarantee the rights of these nobles, Emily did not abolish this system, just The setting of tariffs is strictly limited.

After Emily’s series of reforms, the proportion of the benefits that the noble class of the Kingdom of War can obtain is more obvious than that of other countries. A perfect pyramid authority also brings cohesion, morale and fighting spirit to the Kingdom of War. On the promotion.

And it is precisely because of this series of brand-new reform policies that the Kingdom of the God of War can develop into a giant in just a few years. In the new era opened up by Sean, the Kingdom of the God of War has also become A hegemon who has the qualifications to compete for the empire.

  Of course, all of this, apart from the reforms attributed to the new policy, is also inseparable from the powerful military capabilities of the Kingdom of God of War.

  Even the most representative six of them are called "Six Gods Generals" by the people of the Kingdom of War God.

War Duke Tenny: One of the six gods, a family knight who originally swore allegiance to Emily, a war-god knight who believed in the **** of war Marz, regarded Emily’s life as everything, not only Emily’s sword, but also Emily's shield. Received the training of generals secretly sent by William Yale, the military commander of the Void Duchy at the time, and after Emily carried out drastic reforms to the entire Kingdom of God of War, he took over as one of the three original regiments of the Church of God of War, the regiment of the War Corps. He held a post, and then went through hundreds of battles within two years without a single defeat, and was honored as the "son of the **** of war."

Duke of Fear. Arkham South: One of the six gods, a young man who lived next to the original South family. He has very good command and management abilities. After Akaz Beisen went through the conspiracy of Ryze, he and Joanna Become the only two survivors, and then take refuge in Emily at the hint of Sean. After Emily reformed and reconstructed the entire Kingdom of God of War, she took over as the commander of the Jagged Legion, one of the three legions of the Church of God of War. Although her record is not as dazzling as Denny’s, she privately deduced it from Denny’s sand table. Nine losses and ten wins, because it was often used by Emily to suppress opposition within the Kingdom of War God, because it was also called "the devil that spreads fear and death" by some people.

Death Grand Duke Anton Symes: One of the six gods, the former earl of Hecarrom of the Principality of Jordan, after marrying the second daughter of the Principality of Jordan, he gave up the seat of the Principality of Jordan and moved to When Emily needed excellent generals, she nominated herself to become one of the three legions of the Church of God of War, the commander of the sanctioner legion. Different from the situation of the other two legions, the Sanctioner Legion is often used to punish and punish infidel forces in the war. Almost all within the Legion are the most devout fanatics, which has led to the Sanctioner Legion becoming the least tactical content. The result of almost every battle of the regiment was **** rivers and corpses all over the country. Therefore, Anton Symes was called the "Duke of Death".

Shield of the God of War. Joanna: One of the six generals, a soldier of the mercenary group formed by Arkham. Although the name is quite feminine, he is an out-and-out man with a burly body almost comparable to a bear. , Can wave a huge tower shield weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand, and use the halberd flexibly. Since Denny took over as the commander of the three legions, he has replaced Denny as Emily's shield, replaced Shawshank's original guard of the God of War Knights, and is responsible for the security and defense of the entire Church of God of War.

  War God Sword. Shawshank: One of the Six God Generals, a War God Knight exiled to a remote town because of the internal corruption and collusion of the God of War Church. He has excellent commanding ability and a sense of justice and mission. After Emily mastered the power of the God of War Church, she was reused by Emily. She initially served as the captain of the Guard of the God of War Knights. Later, after Emily swept the many potential seeds of the Hall of War baptism, she served as a newly formed special unit. : The commander-in-chief of the war fanatics, responsible for special operations in the Kingdom of God of War.

  Shadow of God of War. Sarah: A woman called "Shadow of Emily", commanding Emily's Guards: Lady of War. If Joanna is Emily’s shield on the bright side, then Sarah is Emily’s shield in the backlight. It has always been hidden from view. Few people have seen her take action, but in fact But he is the second strongest in the kingdom of God of War after Emily, with amazing swordsmanship skills, even Shawshank and Tenny call him a teacher. Because the origin of the identity is quite mysterious, it has always been rumored to be the guardian spirit given to Emily by the God of War. In fact, it was the commander secretly arranged by William to teach relevant tactics and strategy courses. The liaison work and the intelligence work of the God of War are one of the orphans adopted when Sean and William first developed the Void Intelligence Network plan.

  It is precisely because of the existence of the six gods, that the development of the Kingdom of the God of War can be so stable and rapid, and even brought unparalleled pressure to the Empire of St. Joles.

This time, the Saint-Joles Empire secretly sent a delegation to the Kingdom of Gods of War, which is the best proof-if it was the Empire of Saint-Joles before the outbreak of the battle of destiny, not to mention whether the Kingdom of Wars had a chance to complete this Transformation, even if there is, is unlikely to bring much pressure to the Saint-Joles Empire. Because St. Joel’s empire has always been a multi-line warfare: the predecessor of the Kingdom of God of War, the Northern Principality Federation, is constantly fighting, and the Maggie Empire is constantly fighting, and the death thorn is endless, and the undead of the northern black soil is endlessly fighting. The war with the heathens in the northwest did not end, but it never showed the slightest fatigue. On the contrary, except for the battlefield with the Maggie Empire, the other battlefields have the upper hand with a strong advantage.

   But this time, the Saint-Joles Empire cannot continue to maintain this huge advantage.

  The reason is simple.

  Cecilia appeared in the royal capital of the Maggie Empire, Saint Maggie.

  The appearance of this kind of action, in the eyes of the Saint-Joles Empire, as long as the people of the Maggie Empire don't have brains, then the alliance between the Void Empire and the Maggie Empire is the result of a certainty. In particular, Cecilia has another identity: the orphan of the former Grand Duke of the Duchy of Rembel.

  The reason why the Principality of Lembel rebelled and killed the former Grand Duke was also entirely the secret enlightenment and support of the Saint-Joles Empire.

  It can be said that Cecilia and St. Joel’s Empire have an indirect blood feud. So even this time, the Void Empire came to attack the Principality of Lumber in name, trying to regain the old land, but the Empire of St. Joel cannot be interpreted so simply. They must do a good job in the Empire of the Void after taking the Principality of Lumber. , The psychological preparation to attack the Saint-Joles Empire. Even after the Principality of Lembel was taken, it was not only the Void Empire but the Maggie Empire that might attack the Saint-Joles Empire.

  In view of this situation, the Saint-Joles Empire also had to send envoys into the Kingdom of God of War.

Although today’s Kingdom of the Gods of War is only called the Kingdom, in fact, under the rapid expansion of the past few years, the Kingdom of the Gods of War has no less than the military strength of the Void Empire, and the name of the Empire of the Void Empire is truly countless. It was played out in a war.

In the face of the attacks of three empires at the same time, no empire on the Marvel Continent today dares to dare to win—whether it is the old military power of the Zenus Empire, the Millennium Covenant Empire known as a behemoth of war, or owning the continent. This is true of the Emilia Empire, which is known as the Wall, and the Maggie Empire, which has a huge magical empire heritage. The only difference is how long they can resist the invasion of the powerful forces of the three empires.

Just think of the Void Empire, a mad dog that stirs the wind and rain in the Southern Continent, suddenly came to the Northern Continent to bite people, and even more outrageous, it actually allowed them to successfully win the trade capital that countless empires dream of, and easily establish it. After a logistical supply line spanning the entire continent, the Pope of the Saint-Joles Empire wanted to vomit blood in depression.

  If it weren’t for the clergy of the God of Luck in the Marvel Continent, the Pope of the St. Joel’s Empire would think that the people of the Void Empire had grown up drinking the milk of the Goddess of Fortune.

  This **** luck, it is estimated that it is a must in the ages.

  ……

Different from the previous mission visits, because the missions of the Saint-Joles Empire came secretly, and they had already informed in advance that the most powerful person in the Kingdom of God of War: Saint Emily, so the parliament was naturally established in Temple of War.

  Originally such an important meeting, Liushen will naturally need to be there in full.

  It's just that the three major legions all had missions, and the notification of the Saint-Joles Empire was too sudden, so the three major legions did not arrive. If it were not for the convenience of teleporting the magic circle, even the other princes would not be able to participate. Although the Kingdom of God of War had become a theocracy, in order to create the illusion of the previous federation, it had set up a grand council with a total of forty-eight seats.

In addition to the 36 former princes of the Northern Duchy Federation, the other twelve who won the title of prince were the six gods, the four surrounding principalities who joined them before the creation of the God of War, and two nobles who were exceptionally promoted due to various achievements. .

  However, there are actually only forty-six people in the Temple of War.

  In addition to the 42 noble grand princes, the remaining four are Joanna, Sarah, Shawshank and Emily.

  In the Temple of War, at this time, because the guests have not yet arrived, there are constant discussions.

However, the theme basically revolves around the significance of the move of the old opponent of the Saint-Joles Empire: to be a member of the Grand Ecumenical Council, the brain is naturally easy to use. Basically all the Grand Duke can guess what it is coming from, but it is only aimed at There are different opinions on the meaning of the actions, and the demands for benefits derived from this are naturally strange, but on the whole they are still beneficial to the Kingdom of the God of War, unlike the Northern Commonwealth when they only consider themselves.

  Emily, who was sitting on the main seat of the temple, did not open her eyes, as if she was closing her eyes to rest.

   The princes underneath have long been accustomed to Emily, who has become more and more indifferent over the years, so it is natural to see Emily’s behavior.

  But in fact, Emily is not closing her eyes to rest her mind at the moment, but is fighting against Marz spiritually.

After so many years of mental torture, Emily’s will has never been diminished. On the contrary, Marz’s divine aura is getting weaker and weaker. If it weren’t for Emily’s intention to keep Marz’s life, as early as half a year ago Marz is about to fall. It can almost be said that as long as Emily is willing, she can replace Marz at any time, become a new generation of God of War, and directly take over everything about Marz.

   "I promised you to become a **** of war, and I have succumbed to you and become a **** of war, why do you still refuse to agree!"

  In Emily’s mind, Marz’s furious roar never stopped.

"Kill you, I can also take over everything about you, can't I?" Emily's voice seemed very cold and did not move the slightest, "Marz, you are not as important and irreplaceable as you think. ."

   "Woman!" Marz's voice turned into thunder and torrential rain, raging in Emily's mind.

But this level of mental torture is nothing to Emily today. Not only did her face not change the slightest, but her voice was as calm as ever: "I will save your life, just Because I still don’t want to take your place as the new God of War, and it’s not that I can’t kill you.... So you and I know everything you do."

   "What did I do!?" Marz roared angrily, "Which time in these years I have not suggested to you that we should join hands with each other! But how did you answer?"

"Holy Marz Church, War Church, Battle God Cult... Do you think I really don't know anything?" Emily said coldly, her tone seemed to be a bit of disdain, "I know you often use I have the opportunity to suppress your will to transmit information to the outside world, to transmit power to the believers you choose, and let them form the so-called "authentic Ares Church" to try to overthrow my rule, but I don’t care, because those believers can just become me. The target of actual combat training for corps recruits."

   seemed to be shocked by the truth that Emily knew, and Malz did not speak for a while.

  Where did the prestigious name of the Sanctioner Corps come from?

  Naturally, it came out of these so-called "infidels"-fighting to support war, which is also the consistent policy of the Sanctioner Legion. What Marz didn’t know was that it was precisely because of the overlap of the high beliefs of these “infidels” and the Sanctioner Legion that the Sanctioner Legion had a continuous means of replenishing its forces, because it was only after experiencing these fanatic wars. The undead soldiers are the real elite soldiers.

"Before, I can understand that you sneered at my proposal. After all, you are worried about the devil." Marz's voice seems to have become a lot softer, but anyone with a discerning eye can hear it. In fact, he is just suppressing. The fury in his heart, "But! Now that the devil's breath has suddenly disappeared completely, he can no longer control you, what are you still afraid of?... Are you afraid of the monitor? Not to say that her strength is not as good as you, In other words, the strength she has now is basically what you bestow, as long as you want, you can withdraw her strength at any time, so why are you still obedient to that demon heresy!"

   "Take Sean's orders..." Emily murmured softly, then turned to look at Sarah's position, but her eyes had not opened.

  And Sarah, who was also closing her eyes and rested, seemed to be aware of it. She opened her eyes slowly, and then looked at Emily who was "looking" to her side. Her emotions are calm and stable, and the expression in her eyes is very pure and natural, without the slightest strangeness: there is no doubt, no worries, and no confusion, and some are just quiet.

"Now! Now is a good opportunity!" Marz's voice was full of a different kind of demonstrative power, "As long as you and Chen Xi's subordinates work together, you will be able to snipe the demon's subordinates well! I heard that that expeditionary force is almost half of the demon's entire country. As long as their supply line is cut off, they will be a deep lone army. Then, they will all die!"

   "Your news is pretty good."

   "Although I am imprisoned by you, I am neither blind nor deaf!... The smell of that devil has completely disappeared from this world, as long as..."

   "Here." Before Marz could finish speaking, Emily opened her eyes and looked at the door of the Temple of War.

As soon as Emily opened her eyes, an extremely powerful aura suddenly escaped from Emily, sweeping across the hall of the Temple of War, and the noisy discussion suddenly disappeared completely. All the princes bowed their heads with fear and fear to show their respect to Emily.

  The door of the Temple of War opened, and a young man wearing a round-necked high priest's white robe, accompanied by two guards in red and black heavy armor, stepped into the hall together.

  The two guards are wearing special black heavy armors. The helmets are covered and sealed helmets. It is completely impossible to see the gender and age in the armor. However, this armor had strange red textures, and these textures seemed to have life, exuding weird red glow. Although neither of them drew their swords or shields, the tyrannical aura exuding from the two of them also made all the princes present except Shawshank, Sarah, Joanna, and Emily feel for a while. Difficulty breathing.

  These are two high-ranking powerhouses!

   And like this strong, in the report that Emily received before Sarah, it seems that there are as many as fifty. Only because of Shawshank's previous arrangements, not all of the fifty people arrived at the Temple of War, and only two of them were able to enter the temple with the messenger who came to negotiate the secret agreement.

  Emily’s gaze fell on the messenger.

  This is a young man who seems to be less than twenty years old. His face is pale, and he does not know whether it is caused by the fatigue of the boat or the sickness. However, that short silvery-white hair is like liquid silver. It is exceptionally soft and beautiful. Coupled with his golden pupils, if it weren't for the narrow corners of his eyes that made his eyes look unusually sharp, he was also a very handsome young man.

"Dear war goddess, please forgive me for the presumptuous interruption." After this young envoy entered the temple, he immediately said, "I am the envoy of the Saint Joel's empire. I can be white."

   "Then Mr. Bai, tell me what you are here." Emily said.

"The Empire of Saint Joles hopes to form an alliance with the Kingdom of God of War." Bai said straightforwardly, "I believe you should already know about the Expeditionary Forces of the Void Empire, and now the Queen of Phoenix of the Void Empire, Cecily Yazheng is going to the Maggie Empire, and it is rumored that the two countries are acting for the alliance."

"You really don't know how to negotiate, Mr. Bai." Emily chuckled. She didn't know that Cecilia was going to the Maggie Empire. "You are not afraid of exposing all the cards so quickly. Does my lion speak loudly?"

"Negotiating is not something I'm good at." Bai shrugged, "but the lion speaks loudly about this kind of thing... Our St. Joel's Empire came with sincerity, and I hope that Lord Sainte can listen to our suggestions. "

  "I am more curious than advice, what are you good at."

"Solving some troubles for the Saint-Joles Empire is just like now." Bai continued, "The disputes between the Saint-Joles Empire and the Kingdom of God of War have been constant, and I know that this actually caused our friendship with each other. It caused a certain amount of damage, so this time I came with great sincerity, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding between our two countries."

   "What kind of sincerity?"

Looking at Emily, Bai did not have the slightest fear, but said in a deep voice: "If the Kingdom of God of War can not initiate a war from the side when a war breaks out with the Void Empire, then we will completely withdraw the garrison of the Kuval Corridor. "

  "Um..." Even Emily raised her brows when she heard this.

The Courval’s Corridor is a grassland terrain between the Kingdom of God of War and the Empire of Saint-Joles. There are tens of thousands of elite church cavalry troops stationed in the Empire of Saint-Joles. The radiating center of influence of the kingdom and the principality is also a strategic location and the front line of the war of the Saint-Joers Empire’s plan to embezzle the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy. Constraints on external development of the Principality Federation.

  Even if it is the Kingdom of the God of War today, as long as it wants to expand, the Koval Corridor is still a strategic threat that cannot be avoided-unless the Kingdom of the God of War wants to expand westward and fight the Emilia Empire.

Therefore, if the Saint-Joles Empire gave up the Courval Corridor, it would be tantamount to giving up the remote control and surveillance of at least two surrounding kingdoms and four principalities. This content was equivalent to a gift to the six nations of the God of War—the Kingdom of God has always been Trying to spread the faith to these six countries, it is only because the garrison of the Saint-Joles Empire stationed at the Courval Corridor has always had little effect.

   "Promise him!" In Emily's mind, Marz started hissing again.

   "Well, sincerity can indeed be seen, but this sincerity is not great." Emily chuckled.

  If there is a first buffer zone, naturally there will be a second buffer zone.

  The Empire of Saint-Joles has been able to dominate the Northern Continent for so many years, and it is natural that multi-line combat is still standing. Putting aside the incomparably powerful background, in terms of the Northern Duchy’s Confederation, the suppression of the St. Joel’s Empire is not a joke. After removing the Courval Corridor, the chaotic zone of the Twelve Kingdoms, the Tropic of He is also the strategic point of the Saint-Joles Empire that has been painstakingly managed step by step for the Northern Duchy.

   "Indeed, so I suggest you listen to my next proposal."

   "You want my God of War Kingdom to cooperate with your expeditionary force in the Nether Empire." Emily looked at Bai with a smile but not a smile, but she glanced at Sarah from the corner of her eye, but saw that Sarah's expression was still as calm as before.

  "It’s easy to communicate with a wise person like Master Saint, and my second suggestion is indeed the case." I nodded in vain, did not deny this, in fact, as long as it is a normal person, it can be guessed.

   "How about sincerity?"

   "To the west of the frozen river, all garrisons of the Saint-Joles Empire have evacuated." He said directly without blinking.

If the withdrawal of the Kouvar Corridor is equivalent to adding six more places for the spread of beliefs in the Kingdom of the Gods of War, then the withdrawal of the troops west of the frozen river in the Saint-Joles Empire is equivalent to giving up all the more than twenty countries west of the frozen river. NS. And the most important thing is that after crossing the frozen river, it is the birthplace of the Saint-Joles Empire, and from here all the way east to the Plain of Holy Light, the Saint-Joles Empire is safe to defend.

  This concession is not the word "sincerity" to describe it, but it should be said that it is a big gambling gift.

   Knowing all the key princes in it, he couldn’t help but become short of breath at this time.

The area west of the Frozen River was completely ceded. This is the spread of dozens of faith areas. With the spread of these faith areas, it will be sooner or later that the Kingdom of the God of War will become an empire. There will be nothing to suppress on the northern continent. The rapid development of the behemoth that lives in the Kingdom of God of War.

  In Emily's mind, Marz was already arrogant.

   "Don't forget, you're just a dying god!" I couldn't stand Marz's crazy roar, and Emily finally had to scream.

"Promise him! Promise him! The rise of the Church of God of War is no longer a dream!" Marz roared frantically, "As long as you promise him, you will be given one more year at most, and you will become the most powerful king of God. At that time, even if the demon appears again, he can’t help you! And you, you don’t need to look at anyone's winks! Even, you might still have a chance to swallow the old man Chenxi together, and then you will be the same. Take control of the Saint-Joles Empire! Promise him! Woman!"

   "God King..."

   "Yes! King of gods, king of gods! Since the dusk of the gods, gods have no kings! And you! And you will have the opportunity to become king again!"

  Emily’s sudden silence naturally caused the people around him to misunderstand: No matter who is such a huge benefit, it is impossible not to be moved. The faces of all the princes showed extreme excitement, even Joanna and Shawshank were equally inevitable.

  Even Sarah finally found a strange mood swing in her calm eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by its reconvergence: because the mood swings in her heart at this time were not excited and excited. (To be continued~^~)
