Chapter 289 (1/2)
No one expected that the catastrophe that destroyed half of eboden would end overnight; Just as no one could have imagined that this sudden disaster would evolve to this extent.
The forced troops rushed to the imperial legion with only 3000 people in eboden and controlled the urban defense of eboden at an incredible speed. All the patrol guards who had sworn allegiance to the Bellini family were disarmed and detained, the mercenary Corps was dissolved in place, and the blockade line in the south of the city was demolished.
Overnight, the autonomous city-state with the strongest city defense of the Empire, more than 3000 patrol guards, and the ability to summon no less than 5000 elite and several times the mercenary corps at any time was completely controlled, and immediately entered a state of martial law. Legion soldiers patrolling the streets can be seen everywhere, and the sound of iron boots can be seen all over the streets.
Of course, there are ”bursts of thunder” - the giant dragon milassis, which symbolizes the authority of the ”Dragon King family”, standing on the top of the highest spire in the whole city.
Under the winged magic dragon, eboden trembled in the strong wind like a ruin
After a quick discussion, the neutral free nobility, the mercenary leader who controls the mercenary regiment, and the nine pointed star wizard tower reached a compromise with each other under the ”Persuasion” of Prince Brandon de saleon, established a new freedom parliament, and elected the elderly corona family master, Lorenz corona, the elder wizard tower, as the new consul.
After unifying the caliber, they put all the blame on the Bellini family... Or alto Bellini.
”Because Alto Bellini deliberately concealed the true efficacy of the” Holy Blood potion ”, bishop Francis distributed the potion to half of eboden without knowing it, resulting in the mutation of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and finally triggered a terrible ceremony to summon the blasphemous demon from hell to the real world.
Fortunately, due to the timely discovery of the nine pointed star wizard tower, the imperial Legion and his highness Brandon de saleon, the second prince, prevented the further spread of the tragedy, and the demon also died under the Dragon inflammation of the giant dragon mirassis.
In this terrible catastrophe, alto Bellini died in his own experiment. The whole Bellini family and other parties were killed. They were collectively beheaded in the square in the East District, and all their property was transferred to the free Parliament.
The only misfortune is that bishop eboden and devout Francis died bravely to remedy their mistakes, and most of the eboden church was occupied and on the verge of collapse ”- this is the” official version ”of the free Parliament and Brandon's external publicity.
As for the true cause of the Bishop's death, no one knows or wants to know. Neither Brandon de sallion, the imperial prince, nor corona, the spokesman of the wizard tower, hopes that this matter will lead to a war between the wizard tower and the church.
Just that night, corona wrote a secret letter in the name of the wizard tower, sent it to the imperial capital and handed it to the archbishop, implicitly suggesting that the other party had the ”evidence” of fascism - if the Holy Cross Church was ready to make trouble, the wizard tower did not mind letting the Empire know that fascism was the real culprit of the whole ”Holy Blood potion” incident.
A pious bishop of the Holy Cross turned thousands of civilians into monsters and tried to summon evil gods... This will be an unimaginable heavy blow to the church!
But corona doesn't really want to use this to attack the Holy Cross Church. Except that the wizard tower has just taken control of eboden and most of the wizard world has not fought against the Holy Cross Church, Brandon de sallion, his supporter, also doesn't want to see such a result
”In fact, compared with wizards, some crazy believers and priests obsessed with power are really a headache; as a member of the de sallion family, it is my duty to defend my faith, but no one can make me like them.”
In the empty parliament hall, sitting on the chairman's seat, Brandon de sallion, with his legs crossed, kept nagging at the black haired wizard on the side:
”But these... Are not enough reasons to declare war on the church, because the Holy Cross Church... Or the belief in the Holy Cross is the only way to keep the whole empire from falling apart!”
”Even in the 13th generation of the Empire, she is still not a real whole - loters, saxorians, Baines, ebodens... In addition to common beliefs and painstaking efforts, the words and languages gradually unified by the thirteen generations are completely different nationalities.”
”Apart from the faith in the Holy Cross and a crown representing commitment and authority, what kept us from splitting for 13 generations?”
This is also something that once puzzled Loren - such a feudal system, with many different nationalities and customs, and even a huge empire divided geographically, can not be maintained by relying on common beliefs alone.
”Threat?”
”Yes, it's a threat.” Brandon's smile looked very helpless: ”those from the North who destroyed the ancient dragon Kingdom, once forced the sakran kingdom to move west, the old enemies of the Holy Cross, the demons from the abyss; those from the East who rode across the green sea on iron horses;”
