Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard Chapter 105: Power crisis (1)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
A group of people sat together and discussed for a while, but couldn’t find any clues at all. This was mainly because the information they got was too little, just a few words, no details at all, how to understand the future situation Deduction of the development? Of course, this is not to blame Cassano’s intelligence system for being too incompetent. It is true that the cold-blooded military control system has been fully implemented in Senat’s rule area. Joint security is carried out in the villages and towns under his control. The village will also use tithes to select one out of ten to kill, and if an outsider is found, it will be executed immediately. Under this **** butcher knife, Cassano was unable to install any spies in a short time. Many communication channels previously arranged by the imperial capital were also cut off. If it were not for Senat, he would need a large number of caravans to provide his territory with a lot of necessities. , I am afraid that no one has entered or left the area under his control.
Senat’s reign is impossible to last, but it can produce very effective results in a short period of time. The emergence of the Undead Legion has greatly constrained the power of the imperial capital, causing the situation in the mainland to fall into another. The stalemate stage: The Holy Alliance coalition forces did not have absolute certainty to launch a decisive battle against the Undead Army, and the Undead Army did not desperately expand its size to make the Holy Alliance recklessly launch an attack. When they squatted, Senat was caught in the middle. Some respite.
Compared to the imperial capital being exhausted under the attack of three aspects such as Senat a few years ago, I have to say that now everyone’s situation has just changed positions. The orcs rushed north and the Clays fled west. Senat was left with a gasp. The imperial capital is invincible, which is why the undead legion suddenly intervenes in the mainland, because once the imperial capital reunifies the mainland, the demigod lich will have to wait for hundreds of years to hope that another better opportunity will appear.
Seeing that the discussion had no results, Ryan sighed. He now knows why Reid's emotions are so decadent. It's not only a blow to one's self-confidence, but even some people feel sorry for teacher Ibel. Destroy afterwards. Naturally, everyone present was very dissatisfied with this ending, but there was no better solution, so the whole chamber fell into silence.
Suddenly, Sophie’s voice broke the silence: "Master Lane, let me go to Seck City. With my strength, maybe I can stand there! If I can collect important information, I will definitely In..."
"No need!" Ryan simply rejected Sophie's proposal, and used a very lame reason: "The imperial capital will send people to do these things. We don't need to waste our energy on this."
"But..." Sophie was about to argue a few words, but saw Freya made a gesture towards her, so Sophie closed her mouth and fell silent. And Freya slowly began to speak: "Regarding the collection of intelligence on the enemy, I think the Imperial Capital will do a better job than us, so let's just do what Ryan said! But now Senat and the Church of Light Of Ferdinand colluded together, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome!"
"Trouble?" Ryan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but thought that Fuliya inherited the memory of the elven queens of the past, and was enough to be her own teacher in this respect, so he asked humbly, "What impact will it have on the current situation? What should we do?"
"I have to say, Senat is a hero!" Freya started with this sentence and began to state her point of view: "Victor hates nobles, Orlando is limited by his own beliefs, Falasi's Your weakness is you, and your weakness is everyone around you! But Senat doesn't. In order to achieve his own goals, he can sell everything, including his soul!"
"Such a character may not be the supreme ruler of this continent in the history of mankind, but he will definitely be a powerful ruler, standing at the pinnacle of power and looking down on everything, trying to make everything in front of him follow his will. Change, but don’t know that even the supreme gods can’t do this at all, because the gods also have to abide by the rules of a plane, at least they won’t let their true bodies come here."
"So far, Senat’s weakness is his identity. In any case, he was once a member of the Holy Alliance Empire. After he turned away from this empire, he also carried the title of rebel. For the ambitious Senat, it is very disadvantageous, but there is no way to change it for a while."
"Senate is now starting to publicly support Ferdinand of the Church of Illumination. If my guess is correct, he probably hopes to split the Church of Illumination, one of the strong cornerstones of the Holy Alliance Empire. If the Church of Illumination is split, The strength of the empire will be greatly weakened, which is also very good news for the Legion of the Undead. If this plan can be successful, Senat will fully support the part of the Church of Light that favors him, and at the same time think Do everything possible to suppress those forces that are inclined to the imperial capital."
"But, Freya, why does Senat attract the cardinals? He is at an absolute disadvantage now, and there is the undead legion behind him. I can't think of anything that can attract the cardinals. Those believers of the gods fall to the side of Senat, who is inclined to the undead army!" Ryan said.
"Yeah, maybe this is the reason why Reid is so decadent, because he has probably already guessed Senat's methods, but he just can't change it all!" Freya sighed and slowly said it. Answer: "Don’t forget, a long time ago, well, to be precise, before the Alexander Third Reich, the highest authority on the continent was not a certain noble monarch, but the Pope of the Church of Illumination! But as Andrew After the forcible unity of most of the continent by force, the power of the Church of Illumination began to slowly weaken, and the last Pope Franz II was escorted by Andrew’s force from the Holy See to the coronation ceremony of King Alexander. Andrew wears the bauhinia crown symbolizing power!"
"Ah!" Ryan had never heard of this history. He didn't expect his senior Andrew to have such a majestic side, which inevitably made him miss the time when he encountered Andrew's soul in the grave.
"The coronation ceremony of Alexander also led to the decline of theocratic power on this plane. After the death of the last Pope Franz II, under Andrew’s instruction, a suitable successor was not selected. The only choice was the archbishop. This position is temporarily acting as the name of the archbishop. This is also the origin of the current archbishop’s position."
"Therefore, in the fall of the Third Reich of Alexandria, I am afraid that there may not only be the presence of the Undead Legion. Maybe the Bright Church also prayed to contribute to the flames during the period? Otherwise, how could Nicholas the Great Lich not be reversed into* In the case of human beings, appear by Andrew's side and become his chief magician? Not to mention the transformation of Catherine and the sudden severance of Andrew's bloodline!"
Furiya finished this in one breath and found that everyone except Ryan was completely stunned. This old secret is probably completely cut off in the human world, but she has a queen of elves. The memory of Freya still knew clearly, and Ryan already knew a lot about Andrew and Catherine’s past, so such news was not very sudden to him, and through Freya’s description, Ryan suddenly guessed The best method Senat used to win over the Church of Light.
"Re-establishing the Pope?" Ryan slowly spit out these four words, and at the same time awakened the others in the room.
"Yes, compared with the honor of Restoring the Church of Illumination in the most prosperous period on this continent, a rebel leader in a mere trivial figure, and even the figure of the undead army that has been faintly revealed behind him, is nothing at all, even these clergymen. In his heart, he will still comfort himself in this way. After cooperating with these heretics and re-establishing the pope, the Church of Illumination can have more powerful power, and it can also deal with the Legion of the Undead, right?"
After listening to Freya’s words, Ryan tilted his head for a moment, then suddenly added: “In fact, neither Senat nor the Legion of Undead can personally support a force that they can’t control, so I think this new The pope can only be a puppet, but it can be extremely confusing. As you said earlier, Freya, the coronation of previous kings can only be officially recognized with the approval of the church. Now Senat is holding the pope for himself. To be crowned, in a sense, he is no longer a rebel leader, but an empire king who can sit on an equal footing with the Holy Alliance empire!"
"Yes, Reid must already know this, but he just can't do anything now, because he knows how attractive the position of the pope is to the cardinals, and the imperial capital will never agree. Such a request." Freya became the protagonist of the Chamber tonight, she pointed out sharply: "The Bright Church, which has already cracked internally, coupled with the huge external temptation of benefits, except for a very small number of people who really look at it. Those who know everything, I’m afraid that most members of the Bright Church will fall to Senat’s side,"
"Ryan, this can be called the juncture of the life and death of the Bright Church. However, at this time, Reid has no way to prove the legitimacy of his power. The only thing he can do is to be a bystander! An archbishop who has inherited Ibel’s legacy and hopes to revitalize the Church of Illumination suddenly finds that everything he has does not exist. Even his last bit of spiritual sustenance is very likely to be inherited from his teacher Ibel’s archbishop identity. To lose, to become nothing, this'power crisis' is probably the biggest reason for Reid's current decadence."
