long silence.
Several legends, especially those from outside, exchanged glances with each other without saying a word.
——If they are willing to attack the Magic Council on a large scale, they will not wander around for a long time to appease the people and proclaim the glory of the Lord.It was precisely because of his refusal that he did not come back for a long time, staying away from the power center of the Holy See.
However, even His Excellency [The Unsullied Walker], who is the farthest from power and the least sensitive to politics, understands that what the Pope said is indeed reasonable.
Establishing an external enemy to cover up internal conflicts and unease has always been an excellent way to appease the internal——
As long as this enemy is really defeated, generally speaking, internal cohesion can be improved and the authority of the leader can be re-established.
But right now, the Glorious Holy See has indeed reached the point of internal instability and a possible split.
At this time, choose a relatively weak enemy, for example, the magical council that lives in a remote island country and has only half the number of legends in the Holy See, and establish it as an enemy.
Then, gather the forces under your command, regardless of whether they are from other places, from various kingdoms, or from various nobles, and hit them head-on, kill it, or maim it.
In this way, the flamboyant class teacher, by the way, proved the legitimacy of the Holy See and the fact that the Holy See is still favored by the Lord.The position was a bit unstable at first, but now I sit firmly...
Of course, the premise is that you can really win and win beautifully.As for whether he can win...
"How many legends do we have now?"
[Pale Sword] Abby Lucio asked suddenly.The Pope froze for a moment, and his face turned ugly again in an instant, as if the unleavened cake in his hand had gone through ten rainy seasons in one hour, and it was covered with mold spots and green hairs...
Once upon a time, when the Glorious Holy See dispatched a large army to interfere with the succession of the King of Kent's throne, their number of legends was twice that of the parliament.
In other words, the council has 18 legends, while the Glorious Holy See has 36 legends.
Of course, this number does not include the legends among the nobles of the two kingdoms, just like the 18 legends of the Magic Council, it also does not include the three temples of the Kent Kingdom, as well as the legends among the royal family and nobles...
However, in recent years, the legend of the glorious Holy See has been severely damaged.On the other side of the Sun Kingdom in the New World, Governor Martinez and Archbishop Bartolome both died;
Not to mention, this explosion killed two legends at once: the ascetic elder and the grand master of the Holy Knights.All of a sudden, the 36 legends became 32 legends, a full reduction of one-ninth.
Of course, 32 is still a lot more than 18.The problem is that the Holy See's four overseas governorships all need legends to sit in command, and four legends have been removed at once——
The pressure in the southern part of the New World is relatively high.It is yellow fever again, and it is necessary to resist the indigenous sun god, and several legends need to support each other and jointly defend;
There are still a few legends who listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement. Those like [Pale Sword] are not bad. If something happens to the Holy See, they can still be called back.
There are three or four legends who wander around in unknown places all the year round.Either appease the people in a certain corner and relieve their suffering, or preach the grace of a certain indigenous tribe, trying to make the indigenous believe in the Lord of Glory.
In this way, seven deductions and eight deductions, and deducting the legends of different space exploration, the number of legends that can be used directly by the Holy See has dropped to about twelve in the near future!
Twelve!
You know, there are as many as eight legends stationed in Nevis all the year round in the Magic Council! ——The Lord of Thunder has left recently, so there are still seven...
Twelve against seven, this will not form a crushing situation.The priests of the glorious Holy See need to rely on believers and churches to exert their strength.No believers, no church, [-]% of the strength, can play [-]% is already good luck.
Not to mention the expulsion of the Glorious Holy See in the Kingdom of Kent, decades have passed, and a whole generation has grown up.
It is the Netherlands area. The lessons learned during the previous lowland war are not enough?
And the magicians, relying on the mage tower, 150% of their strength, at least [-]%;
Relying on the Igor Peak Mystic Lock, with three legends sitting in the town, seven or eight legends of the Holy See cannot be defeated, and eight legends sitting in the town, even 20 legends of the Holy See cannot break through.
Not to mention field encounters, magicians who call on magical powers are always more flexible than priests who call on the power of faith.Twelve against seven, there is an advantage, but if you want to win a decisive victory, it is not enough, not enough...
"So, are you going to recall other legends?" [Pale Sword] Abby Lucio looked at the Pope's face and asked softly.
His voice was neither high nor low, neither happy nor angry, even if we sat face to face, we couldn't see or hear any emotion from him.The Pope's brows were even tighter:
recall?
Recall who?
Those few legends who listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement, they probably won't come back until the life and death of the Holy See, or the life and death of the entire Radiance God Cult.
The possibility of getting them to help the Holy See attack the Magic Council is extremely low.
Recalling several legends who sit in the overseas governor's district, the Storm Islands are now facing increasing pressure. As long as the legends are transferred back, half of the interests of the Holy See there will be eaten by the magic council;
In the southern part of the New World, even if one of the three legends transfers to the Governor-General's Districts around the Sun Kingdom, the situation of helping each other will be broken, and even the Silver Mountain will be swallowed by the Sun Kingdom!
Without the continuous blood transfusion from the New World, what will the Holy See use to feed a large number of powerful people, what will it use to continuously cultivate follow-up forces, and what will it use to maintain its advantage over the two kingdoms and surrounding areas?
As for those legends who explored in different spaces...
You know, there are about 10 legends in the magic council all the year round, exploring in different spaces.Bringing back the legends of the Holy See, on the one hand, they will not be able to maintain a high pressure on them; on the other hand, they will hand over the resources in the different space to others...
The resources in those distant places are the decisive factors that determine whether one can become a legend, and whether the legend can continue to be promoted!Transferring people back now is tantamount to sacrificing future development potential to save the current emergency!
Moreover, the Holy See transferred people back, wouldn't the Magic Council also transfer their legends back?Wouldn't those legends who found their old opponents disappear feel something was wrong and run back quickly?
"...Let's transfer a few people back first... We don't have enough manpower, so we don't need to talk about anything..."
The Pope let out a long sigh, and slumped down.In an instant, his face was bleak, and the wrinkles on his face piled up layer by layer, and he looked 20 years older:
"No matter what we want to do, even if we just look at a few kingdoms and various forces, we need enough manpower... At this moment, the Holy See really can't be chaotic, it can't be chaotic..."
As for whether to fight the Magic Council or choose other enemies; how to fight and when to fight; these issues will be discussed later.The most important thing is to firmly hold the power in your hands and frighten all directions!
"The legend sitting on the Storm Islands has not appeared recently, and has disappeared from the energy response monitored by the Mage Tower." Not long after, the Mage Tower of the Kingdom of Eagles sent a message:
"Remind Nevis, be sure to pay close attention to his whereabouts."
"The legend of [Glory of Canglan] Drost that has been exploring in the space of Bocinis has also disappeared recently. His Excellency Time Traveler reminded Nevis that he may have returned to the Holy See."
"The news came from the Great Wasteland. Near the Gate of Hell, the [Silver Glory Saint] who had been stationed all the time suddenly left and headed west... Our dragon friends remind us, please pay attention to the possibility of him returning to the Holy See..."
"It seems that the glorious Holy See is gathering strength." In the Tongtian Tower of Nevis, the legendary mages were discussing, and the jury members were also discussing:
"With so many legends gathered, next, are they going to come and beat us?"
"We are not afraid of directly attacking Nevis. There is the Tongtian Tower... There are still nine legends, and His Excellency Crown of the Sun is coming back soon. By then, there will be ten people...
I'm afraid they'll play tricks, harass a little here, and destroy a city there..."
"Those who play dirty probably won't. They want to regain their legitimacy now, and they need a vigorous battle, a fair and just victory.
I really hope that they will have a big fight. At that time, we will gather all allies and fight them head-on! "
"Speaking of allies, can the elves have a few more legends? - what about the dragons?"
"I'm afraid the elves can't do it anymore. Even the two of Nevis, at most, they can help control the mythos and deter them, and they won't attack with all their strength. Dragons..."
"How about the Dragon Clan?!"
"Then it depends on our Plague Lord, when will we achieve decisive results..."
"What plague lord! What plague lord! That's the name you Black Crow Marsh gave you in private, don't call it outside all day long!" Opposite the necromancer, the evocation department's review committee broke out in an instant:
"Master Nordmark belongs to our Horn of Thunder. Even if he advances to legend, his title will not be the title of the necromancer!"
"Aw! - Speak up if you have something to say, don't fight!!!"
"Speaking of which, little—Master Nordmark, when will the results come out... It would be great if we could pull the Dragon Clan into our chariot..."
"I don't know... The last time the news came, Master Nordmark went to the Dragon Tomb. I don't know if he has come back, and I don't know what the harvest in the Dragon Tomb is... It would be great if I could sign a contract with a legendary dragon soul." It's..."
It is impossible to sign a contract with the Legendary Dragon Soul.At this moment, Gretel was squatting sadly in front of the remains of a legendary dragon, muttering:
"This dragon is fine! Hey, why don't you want to go with me? Either it's too cohesive and doesn't want to go at all, or it's too loose and has no reaction..."
