Chapter 1012 (1/2)

It has been two months since the end of the ”battle of eboden”. The cold wind of winter has spread all over every corner of the empire from duanjie mountain.

But for the subjects of the Empire, everything seemed no different from yesterday.

In fact, this is also very normal. The reason why the Empire could exist was to resist the ”alliance” formed by the invasion of northern demons. Otherwise, such a huge territory, countries with completely different customs and cultures could not be integrated at all.

The elves and ogres in the ancient wood forest, the werewolf tribe in the ice field in the north of saklan, the Centaurs in the green sea, the dwarf Kingdom between the mountains, and the giant monsters wandering in the wilderness... It can be said that there are wars in other territories almost every year and every season except the imperial capital and eboden.

The oldest old man has experienced the age of the black Duke. Some of them still vaguely remember the heroic posture of the late akhart II commanding the Imperial Army and fighting the invading demon Legion on on duanjie mountain.

The horseback people of Boyi still remember the recent Centaur war; Strictly speaking, the loterians who are resisting the invasion of Azores, the Arles who hunt trolls, and the East Saxony, which is constantly in civil war, are also fighting their own wars.

War is the main melody of the Empire and the fundamental significance of the existence of the Empire; For the imperialists, war is no big deal at all. It's not a very special thing.

Either in war or preparing for war, which is the norm of the Empire.

For this reason, even if emperor Conrad issued the ”all-round war mobilization” and ”expropriated the nobles and principalities in the imperial capital”, no one dared to stand up and accuse the emperor of ”tyranny”; In addition to complaining and some small moves, the nobles who were assessed did not dare to have any overt resistance at all.

The young nobles and knights were even more enthusiastic. They took the initiative to run to the barracks and asked to join the imperial army before the recruitment order was issued; It's all about cutting off the elves' heads on the battlefield and making the girls crazy about themselves.

The presidents of trade unions and chambers of Commerce danced excitedly and couldn't wait to contract all the military supplies of the Empire - fighting is making money. They can't understand such a simple truth.

Therefore, the person who really attracted the most attention in the current empire was Isaac Grantham.

More precisely, it should be that Isaac was awarded the title of knight and married a royal family - although it was a collateral branch.

Empire shake!

Almost all the Wizards in the Empire... Or at least in the capital Golovin were shocked, and the shock was followed by an unspeakable excitement and joy, which was beyond description.

According to the statistics of the magistrates of the imperial capital, in just one week, at least 20 pubs were packed by Wizard apprentices pouring out of the college and went to the sky palace to petition. More than 1000 wizards swore allegiance to Emperor Connor, excluding apprentices.

Considering that there are not more than 1000 qualified wizards in the imperial capital, this number is extremely terrible.

At the same time, wizards and apprentices around the imperial capital are also coming to the sky palace in batches to petition to join his majesty Connor's legion and be willing to contribute to the ”victory of the Empire”.

When the news of Isaac's award came, almost all wizards understood the ”hint of the emperor” - as long as they had meritorious service, even wizards could get titles of title and nobility.

This temptation is too big!

Most of the Wizards in the Empire embarked on the road of becoming wizards because they could not inherit the family heritage and titles, or could not find any way out.

Of course, for real wizards... Such as Isaac, or the elders of the wizard tower... Such means of ”buying and wooing” are of little value. Secular titles and wealth mean very little to them.

But for the members who occupy the vast majority of the wizard world, this almost gives them an incomparably bright future and visible hope.

As long as you work hard, as long as you are loyal to the emperor, as long as you make enough achievements... You can also get privileges, wealth and opportunities to become a master like all nobles and even Knights!

In contrast, the church's total resistance.

The priests with a little mind can understand that once the wizards can obtain the status of nobility, it means that the church will completely lose its absolute suppression of the wizard class, which means that the church can no longer maintain its absolute rule in the spiritual field.

This will be a fatal blow to the church!

Without waiting for Archbishop innocent to speak, the angry priests took the lead in flocking to the streets with ”devout congregations”. At the same time, the church judge formally lodged a complaint in the Royal cabinet and asked his majesty connord to withdraw his order, otherwise the church will ”withdraw its absolute support for the heavenly palace”.

This ”battle between wizards and churches” in the imperial capital is imminent.

At this time, a shocking news came from the red blood Castle - hilvic, the envoy to the red blood castle for negotiation, the deacon of the Holy Cross Church, publicly provoked the Duke of Byrne at the ceremony held by the Duke of Byrne, questioned the legitimacy and legitimacy of his identity, and was unanimously expelled from Byrne after being ”aware of the trick”!

Almost on the same day, lottel, Boye and Arle sent letters at the same time, questioning the reason about the matter, and imploring the heavenly palace to assess the ”seriousness” of the matter and give a reasonable and legal explanation.

Is it possible to question the identity of an imperial Duke as long as there is some anecdotal evidence?

Is it true that as long as the church doubts, the Duke of each principality must immediately produce evidence to prove the authenticity of his identity, otherwise he will be deposed?

Is the inheritance law stipulated in the imperial code and the recognition of the nobility in the principality invalid? Only the Duke recognized by the church can become the legal Duke of the Empire?!

In the face of this sudden disaster, the Holy Cross Church, which had been aggressive before, immediately panicked. The original tough attitude could no longer be maintained. We could only pray to the emperor of the heavenly palace to explain as soon as possible so that this matter could be properly handled.

But Conrad did not hear or see. All his attention was focused on preparing for the war after winter. He had no time to mediate the trivial matter of ”the contradiction between the church and the aristocracy of the principality”.

If the church could keep a little calm at this time, they would understand that this was connord's last chance to give them - if the trust of the principalities was lost, the bond that maintained the Empire would change from faith to the loyalty of the principalities to the Empire and the de sallion royal family.

The authority and status of the church will be weakened unprecedentedly, and will fundamentally become one of the vassals and vassals of the Empire; At present, the best choice for them is to reach a settlement with the Principality of Byrne alone to avoid further intensification of contradictions.

But unfortunately, the Holy Cross Church's tough attitude has made them unwilling to compromise so quickly, and still expects Loren Turin to humble their heads first, or the sky vault can mediate.
