Karen was a vassal of Duke Duke, and he came to the capital to support him under the order of the Duke. Although the king had issued orders not to allow lords from all over the world to approach the capital, the grand duke's majesty should not be underestimated. None of the lords along the way dared to stand up and stop Karen.

After saving the wounded General Rungeson, Carreen basically guessed the change in the situation, and the soft-blooded king confessed again.

This will be a fatal blow to all lords who support the king, and they will become sinners in the eyes of God's punishment.

And this is led by Karen, what did his army do? First, he violated the king's order and threatened the God's Punishment Army. After Bakken took control of the capital, he could directly execute Karen with heresy.

"Leave here as soon as possible," Rungeson reminded, "The king has reached a peace agreement with the God Punisher, and you may be flanked by the King's Army and the God Punisher."

"Wait another night, I'm here to support the royal capital. As long as the punisher does not enter the royal capital, I can at least be considered a famous master. Moreover, the city wall is still strong and there are reinforcements outside the city. Your majesty may change his mind and continue. Fight with the God's Punishment Army."

Long Gesen shook his head and said: "Don't wait, don't wait for a moment, give me some food and water, we will go our own way."

Karen was taken aback, and then he smiled: "General Longgerson, I saved your life, you just want to leave?"

"I am not an ungrateful person, but I don't want to hurt you. I will become one of the greatest sinners in the kingdom. Take me with you and your situation will be even more embarrassing."

"This is not necessarily the case, rest assured, General, when it's time to start, I will never hesitate."

That night, the gate of the royal capital was opened wide, and Buckn led his army into the cathedral.

At dawn the next day, Buckn came to the palace to meet the king.

After just a month of fierce fighting, the king was a little embarrassed when he saw Bakken.

But Buckn was very natural, and took the previous events in a few words:

"It's not all your fault. Some of the actions of the former Archbishop Howett did offend your majesty. The man is dead, and the murderer has been severely punished. You don't have to go into all the past. The tolerant Lord can tolerate everything. After the smoke disappears, the Lord's Grace still protects your kingdom."

The king felt more at ease, secretly thanking that he had made a wise choice.

A lot of polite remarks, it's time to talk about the subject, Buckn made a request: "Please give your majesty an order immediately to destroy the rebels outside the city."

The king was stunned. He knew that the "rebel" in Bakken's words meant Karen's army.

No matter how cowardly the king is, he also knows Karen's intentions. Karen is here to support the capital. There is also the instruction of Duke Deenke behind him. If you act on Karen now, it would be tantamount to offending all the lords in the north. , Will also chill all the lords of the kingdom.

"Earl Smokestone may have some misunderstandings with us," the king smiled humbly. "When we find out the truth, it will not be too late to deal with it. I have sent an emissary and received an answer soon. I think Earl Smokestone is very I will leave the royal capital soon..."

"Leave? Are you going to let him escape?" Buckn's tone suddenly changed.

The king explained patiently: "I just don't want to make a hasty decision."

"You don't need to make any decisions. I have drafted the order for you, but you just need your seal."

Buckn took out the drafted document and waited for the king to stamp it.

The king's face was pale with fright. No matter how serious the conflict with the God Punisher had been before, Howett did not make such an excessive move.

But Buckn had put the papers in front of the king, he was waiting for the king to complete the task, rather than asking the king to make a choice.

The fifth-order domineering pressure made the king breathless. He turned to look at the minister of state affairs. The minister of state affairs had a dull expression, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"Lesio, do you think we should have more discussions?"

Negotiate? What else can be discussed? More than 10,000 God Punishment Army has entered the city, most of the king’s army has been disarmed, Feng Xiao’s war cavalry has been imprisoned like prisoners, the king’s armed forces are only left over a hundred guards in the palace. , At this stage of the field, what else can be negotiated?

Buckn is right in front of him, if the Minister of State Affairs takes action, there is still a possibility of killing him.

But after killing him? The next step is to face a war with the Pope. The lesson of Rungeson is before his eyes, and the Minister of State will be regarded as a scapegoat, and Rungeson will end up in the same way.

The Minister of State Affairs squeezed out a smile and whispered: "This matter is still up to your Majesty to decide."

Buckn ignored the Minister of State and came directly to the king, staring at the kingdom's seal.

Under his gaze, the king tremblingly picked up the seal and put it on the document.

In the afternoon, Buckn led his troops out of the city to attack the camp of Karen, and Karen had already left with his troops.

Buckn did not dare to chase, because he was not sure about the attitude of the other lords, he drafted a document again, asking the king to issue an "devil's order."

The so-called "demon order" is an order to eradicate heretics across the country. The king hesitated again, which made Buckn very impatient.

"If you think this is a burden, just leave the seal to me for safekeeping!"

The king didn't dare to say more, and quickly stamped his seal on the document.

This order took a whole month, and finally spread to every corner of the kingdom, but the feedback available was very complicated.

The northern lord’s feedback was very positive. The northern princes headed by Duke Denke were willing to obey the kingdom’s order to punish the heretics as soon as possible. However, they also proposed two conditions. One is that the previous things will be forgotten, including Carre. Ennei, everyone is for the sake of the kingdom and cannot be held accountable for the past. The second is that the divine punishment is temporarily unable to build churches on their territories. The reason is that the situation is still unstable and the lords of various regions cannot guarantee the safety of the divine punishment.

Such a reply made Bakken very angry, but he calmed down and thought about it. He found an important problem~lightnovelpub.net~ The lords of the north were very united, and Dunke did not know what means he used and established among them. Strong prestige.

If you think about it, the reason is not hard to guess. The capricious king made the lords have a serious sense of crisis. In order to survive, they must find a strong backer. Duke Denke is obviously the best choice.

You can't be too tough on them. If you provoke a joint resistance in the north, Buckn, who has an unstable footing, may not be able to resist it.

The situation in the south is even more chaotic. The overall situation is divided into three parts: southeast, due south and southwest.

The situation in the southeast was the most difficult. The lords headed by Grand Duke Besarius refused to accept the king's order and declared that they would continue to maintain a hostile posture against the God Punisher.

The attitude of the Zhengnan region is ambiguous. The lords headed by Grand Duke Sheltay did not give any clear response. They were watching.

The southwestern region is a bit funny. They don’t have a strong leader. There is a situation of "contending of a hundred schools of thought". Some people say they will fight to the end, some say they will follow the king’s orders, some say they did not participate in the previous events, and one lord said He had just quarreled with the local deacon before, and he could reconcile at any time.

Such a chaotic southwest, but Buckn's attention, he set his sights on Grayfish Town.

"This place is occupied by a god-punisher named Roman Wilkins," Buckn negotiated with his men. "Start with him and make Greyfish Town a sacred place in the southwest. We will give him some support and let him He wiped out Monchik in Seven Star Mountain and Elmeng in Heishui City. Under the deterrence of force, other lords will inevitably take refuge in Wilkins. At that time, we will use the power of the southwest to change the vague attitude of the southeast region. Get into isolation, then send troops from the sea to annihilate it in one fell swoop!"
