Black Iron Crown

Chapter 684: Advancing jihadists

Although the Pope's words were plain, there was an unquestionable feeling. This had to make the kings feel upset in their hearts, but at the same time they did not dare to speak up.

Although the influence of the Rosa church began to decline thirty-four years ago, it is even worse now, but as the saying goes, the dead camel is bigger than the horse. Although the Rosa church is experiencing decline, it has accumulated over the past thousands of years. It also makes them extremely deep.

   This time the expedition, the church infantry brought by the Pope from the Holy City totaled more than 4,000 people. In addition, there were 400 zealot knights-Templar knights who dedicated their faith and gave all of themselves.

   Such a force is a force that cannot be ignored for any king, and it can even be said that such a force completely surpasses a considerable part of the king.

   And this is not the full strength of the church. For this holy war, Pope Rosa only used two-thirds of his army.

   More importantly, although the influence of the Rosa Church is declining, there is still a very strong influence among the eight countries.

   You should know that the lords of these countries are not all monolithic. The kingdoms that have lasted for hundreds of years are intricate. There may be countless grievances between the lords and the lords, and the kings and lords.

  Many lords and nobles are unwilling to obey their kings. If it is a war between two countries, it is impossible for these kings to mobilize so many lords to participate in the war.

   After all, in addition to the conflict of interest between the lord and the king, the affiliation of these lords is also very chaotic. There are many nobles with different titles and territories in the two countries.

   As for which one of the princes to help oneself in the war, it depends on their preferences and interests, and it is very common even to sell for a price or remain neutral.

   This is also one of the reasons why the kings are willing to respond to the jihadist decree of the Rosa Church. Each takes what they need. It is a good way to use the influence of the church to influence these lords.

   What's more, there are countless trophies that can be plundered from this huge country. Why not do it?

   was rejected, and the lords were silent. Now that the pope has seen the conspiracy of himself and others, there is no need to insist.

Although they are willing to follow the church to conquer the east, in fact none of these kings are the so-called holy fathers and filial sons. The church is domineering in its own country, collecting excessive taxes and stealing its own taxes, so that all the rulers can feel it. Bored.

   If it wasn't for my own strength, I would have learned from the Empire to build some other church that drove you out of the vampires, and made you so arrogant?

   It is a pity that these countries do not have such strength, which means that they can only succumb to the lewd power of the Rosa church.

  Of course, they are not willing to sit here and watch the Rosa Church restore its prestige and influence. If the jihad can be changed to the conquest of rebellion, it means that this war has changed from a religious war to a secular war.

   has also become at the request of the nations, the Rosa Church helped the Redka Empire to conquer rebellion, and the people who increased their influence would change.

   If such a conspiracy might be useful to young people or younger popes, but now the pope is an old fox. Such tricks can be seen through without even thinking.

Before the kings could speak again, Pope Rosa said: "Be prepared from now on. Your rations should have been collected. We will set off tomorrow. To which so-called imperial capital, I will completely destroy this ridiculous. nation!"

   The kings saw that Pope Rosa had acted arbitrarily, and although they were dissatisfied, they did not express themselves, so they went back to prepare.

  Only Mekatha was stunned in her big account.

   "The Emperor of the Empire..." Mekasha whispered: "Have you reached this point? You are so glorious..."

She is now 27 years old. Like Lena, she is no longer young. Perhaps they are not too old in another world, but in this world, under normal circumstances, people who are 27 or 18 years old will pass. I will be a grandfather and grandmother in a few years.

   "Your Majesty, we..." A sturdy general walked into the big tent, but his stout bear-like body was almost crouching to the ground, with a flattering smile on his face.

  Mekasabeth gave him a glance, then scolded: "It really is a mean male dog! Lie down for me!"

General    immediately lay on the ground, like a domestic dog with its belly exposed to please its owner.

  Mekasha took off her shoes and socks...

   At this time, most of the army of the Bazaran Kingdom has been surrendered to Mekasha, or under the pomegranate skirt, including the commanding generals of the royal family, and many vassals have shown their loyalty to Mekasha.

   Among the Eight Kingdoms of the Eastern Campaign at this time, her army was not the most numerous, but it was definitely the most concentrated.

Early the next morning, the armies of each kingdom got up from the tents to prepare. After everything was packed, they began to form marching formations. The armies of the eight countries were divided into eight columns, separated from each other by several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers. , Spread out and move forward.

   Pope Rosa sits in his chase, his pomp is almost bigger than the former emperor of the little emperor.

The large team means the slowness of the march. Each of them is not slow, but the huge amount of luggage and the trivial things that occur in the queue because of the large number of people always affect the marching speed. They can also walk out of twenty every day. The distance of many kilometers is the result of walking from morning to night.

   One month passed~lightnovelpub.net~ The atmosphere of war in the imperial capital disappeared a bit. Some merchants who fled back to the imperial capital during this period of time, and regained their past business.

  The enemy hasn't come for such a long time, who knows when they will come? They haven't come, and they haven't been in business anymore? It’s a person who needs to eat!

   What's more, what will happen even if it comes? There are 60,000 troops in the imperial capital city. Where can there be more enemies?

  His Majesty the Emperor was victorious in all battles before he became the emperor. He has never lost a battle. Compared with this time, there will be no accidents. What are you worried about? Eat and drink!

   However, Rainer did not take it lightly. He still monitored the order of the imperial capital with the highest level of martial law, and at the same time conducted assault training on the recruits with very high intensity.

   Most of them have received militia training. After such a system of training, their combat effectiveness will rise rapidly. It is estimated that if they train for a year or a half, they can be used as half a veteran.

  Rainer's sadness gradually disappeared, but this does not mean that he can sit back and relax. The enemy army is marching towards the imperial capital, and the grassland tribes in the eastern part of the empire are still raging. This empire has long been devastated and devastated.

  If he can't survive this hurdle, then not only will the empire end there, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Merland family, and his territory, title, and even his life will be taken away.

   Thinking of this, he would never allow his slightest mistake to cause an accident.
