Doomsday Code

At the same time that the document submitted by Huidun to Moss XIII arrived in the royal capital, the document submitted by Jamil to the church and the affiliated Kingdom Church Administration also arrived in the royal capital.

The letter Jamil wrote to the archbishop was very simple. He explained his previous plans and told the archbishop that Huidun's desire to compete for the throne was still alive. He hoped that the bishop could put some pressure on him in the royal capital.

After reading the letter, the cardinal burned it. After all, as clergymen, they could not interfere in the internal politics of the kingdom where they were located.

In the past, there was the unified Thorn Flower Empire, and the church management department affiliated with the kingdom also had strict control over these clergymen.

Their clergy are strictly prohibited from getting involved in any political matters.

Now that the Thorn Flower Kingdom is gone, religious figures with a large amount of believers, power and wealth naturally want to gain their own political status, or even establish a country through religion as the church scriptures say, and exercise the power to confer the king that only the Thorn Flower Emperor could use before.

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, some heretics and stubborn elements need to be eliminated.

This naturally includes Huidun, the product of an illicit marriage.

Not only does he have a strong desire for control over power, but because Huidun is the product of a forbidden love, he naturally wants to exclude him, whether for the sake of morality or for the sanctity of the church in the eyes of its followers.

Moreover, according to their church's observation, Huidun has a deep hatred of God in his heart. If he ascends to the throne, he will most likely expel the clergy in the Kingdom of Moss.

This is something the church absolutely cannot accept.

The archbishop called the official of the Church Council who was in contact with him in the church, and then he handed him Jamil's letter boasting about Huidun intact.

"This is the administrative observation document sent by the Bishop of Huidun Territory. Perhaps the Governor and the Earl have already sent a document. Please take this document back."

That's right, the power to submit political documents is one of the political achievements of their church, and the various kingdoms where they are located do not have so many officials who can be delegated to the grassroots to serve as supervisors, so this power is often given to church members who have always been fair and loving.

Of course, some wise kings of various countries will naturally restrict this power. For example, unless it is absolutely necessary, documents can only be submitted with the king's order.

Of course, this non-necessity was determined by the king, and it was also an invisible constraint imposed by the king on the officials below.

Of course, with this kind of supervisory relationship, there is an inherent barrier between local officials and the church.

Even if some daring bishops wanted to win over the local authorities, no one knew whether this was a test for them, and no one would really tell the person supervising them that they were going to do something bad.

Unless you are really mentally retarded.

The emergence of this system can actually be regarded as a concession made by the king to the church. Due to religious reasons, the church has a stronger natural appeal than ordinary people.

The reason why the Thorn Flower Empire was able to suppress the church before was because of its absolute strength.

During that period, the human kingdoms of the Central Continent were all united as one, and were all kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Thorn Flower Empire. Therefore, the number of powerful men that the empire could mobilize was an unimaginable number.

No matter how powerful the church is or how many experts it has, it is still like an ant trying to shake a tree when facing the entire human race.

But the empire collapsed overnight, and countless masters died in the struggle between the kingdom and the empire.

It is unknown how much was consumed by the wars that subsequently broke out among the various kingdoms to divide the empire.

However, during this chaotic period, the church became the target of various kingdoms because of its great influence and strength.

It can be said that the church’s strength has been preserved to the greatest extent, and it can also develop with peace of mind during this period.

Therefore, up to now, the various kingdoms cannot unite because of the hatred towards each other due to the war, while the church has taken advantage of the war to develop peacefully and make friends with various countries. It can be said that most of the kingdoms are now retreating from the church.

The official took the document politely, then bowed and left.

However, after the official left the Archbishop's room, he burned the document in his hand completely. At the same time, he had an identical document in his hand with slightly different content.

Of course, all this was done at the instruction of the cardinal, and he was naturally well aware of the contents.

Although Jamil's strategy of praising and killing was very good, the archbishop who had been staying in the royal capital understood the current political trends in the royal capital better. Because of Huidun's departure, the king summoned him every now and then to talk with him.

From these words, the archbishop discovered that the earl held a great importance in the king's heart and he had never thought of giving up the earl.

This is also a very bad political signal.

Before, they just thought that Huidun was sent to that secluded place and the king had given up on him, so they just needed to clip the wings around him and then expose this child who the king disliked to the public and he would be dead for sure.

However, the situation has changed now. The king has not given up on him, and their church has always been fair. So handing in this document will not bring trouble to Huidun, but bring him good luck.

Of course, the bishop would not give up so easily. Since their church needed a Virgin Mary, the knife in the Virgin Mary's hand would naturally have to be chosen from someone who was hostile to Huidun, and would not end up hurting the Virgin Mary because of his attack on Huidun.

Naturally, the best material for this knife is those princes.

“Heer, I saw the darkness spreading and all living things crying. This is the great God of Light warning us, His shepherds, that we have not yet spread His blessings throughout the world.

So Hull, now is the time when God needs us, can you spread His blessings for God?"

The Archbishop's guard knight Hull half-knelt in front of the Archbishop and looked at him with a firm and pious gaze.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I am a servant of God and am willing to do anything to spread the blessings of God."

The Archbishop nodded with satisfaction and said:

"The darkness of the Far West has already arrived. The appearance of the alchemist this time is a signal, so it is for the sake of all living beings and for the sake of God.

As God's servant, you must lead God's warriors to the Far West, spread God's blessings there, and block the darkness for God."

The archbishop walked up to the half-kneeling Hull, then stretched out his hand hidden in his robe and brushed it across Hull's head, saying:

“God is with you.”

Hull bowed devoutly to the archbishop, then stood up and walked out.

Soon the entire capital was shocked by the Archbishop's actions. In order to protect the kingdom's border from invasion by dark magicians, the Archbishop actually sent out his guard knights.

Hull led a team of a thousand church knights towards the western border of the kingdom, while Prime Minister Holmes returned to the Executive Council and smiled meaningfully.

"What a hidden minister of the kingdom, he really acts so overbearingly."

"Come here, draw up a garrison mobilization plan for me. The military forces of the Huidun Territory in the west have been completely wiped out because of the alchemists, so the development of the Huidun Territory cannot proceed.

Prepare a troop deployment order for Governor Modonik to take over the defense of the westernmost area of the Nanmu Forest at any time and be ready to carry out the development mission of the Nanmu Forest at any time. "

Such garrison orders were issued frequently, so the people below did not take it seriously. They drafted a transfer order according to the previous rules and gave it to Holmes for review.

After reading it, Holmes handed the transfer order to the Military Department. If the order was to take effect, it would still need to be approved by the Military Department.

As a guy who attaches great importance to power, Holmes would naturally not allow officials like those from the Ministry of Finance to restrict him to appear around him.

And to be honest, although this military department has the power to mobilize troops from all over the country, the ones who truly control the army are still the king's confidants.

Without the king's consent, even if an order to mobilize troops was issued, it would be rejected by the generals.

Therefore, the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs often do not have a strict time limit, which not only maintains the prestige of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but also gives the kingdom time to make a decision.

The order to mobilize troops was quickly approved by the Military Department.

Of course, after the order is passed, the backup documents must be handed over to His Majesty the King. If His Majesty the King has any questions, he can summon the Prime Minister to ask at this time.

Once the order is actually approved by His Majesty the King, it will be sent to the person to be executed as quickly as possible.

This was an order to mobilize troops for defense that was very much to his liking, and Moss XIII in the palace quickly approved it.

Moreover, he was aware of Qu Sai's actions clearly. Although he had been warned before, it was reasonable for the church to dispatch the archbishop's guards to protect the bishop of a place.

But what followed was another order to send the Guards to enter the Huidun territory.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, because every prince can get a team of royal guards directly under his command when he reaches adulthood. It’s just that Huidun did not receive this treatment because of his status.

And now, because of the alchemist's matter, the king naturally has an excuse to send this team of knights guarding him to his side.

After learning this, Holmes just chuckled. This was also his reminder to the king above that some tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects still existed.

He wanted to be in power, so naturally he hated these church members who liked to interfere.

Previously, Huidun’s ability to go to the Far West and become an earl was also the result of a political struggle between the two sides.

Their administrative officials were dependent on the king, and the church's attack on Huidun was actually an attack on the king. Moreover, they wanted to take this opportunity to make the king step down so that they could gain more power.

This was naturally something that these officials could not tolerate, and the two sides began to fight each other in various aspects. In the end, because of Huidun's identity, Moss XIII saw the opportunity and exiled him to Huidun City.

It can be said that neither side won or lost in this struggle. The kingdom simply shelved Huidun for a period of time, which in turn resulted in an irreconcilable conflict between the official system and the church system.

Holmes felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this. The king had easily created enemies between the two interest groups that posed the greatest threat to him.

At the same time, he felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know what purpose the king wanted to achieve with the Wisdom Shield incident this time.

The dispatch of the Royal Guards at night naturally alarmed some important figures in the royal capital, and the only one who was happy was the eldest princess.

Many princes in the royal capital were so shocked by the news that they jumped out of bed. This afternoon they all received the detailed account of what had happened in the Wisdom Shield Territory.

There is also the kingdom's support for the construction of his territory, and now hearing that the guards have been sent, these princes are really getting restless.

It is true that as candidates for the throne, they naturally recruited some think tanks under their command. After final analysis, these think tanks believed that this was a normal action, but the necessary means of suppression still had to be taken.

As for why they didn't kill him, it was because the princes were now preparing for the exploration of ancient ruins next year.

Many ancient secrets and treasures are buried in those ancient ruins, and the greater their gains from this exploration, the greater the chance of defeating other princes in the future.

As for Huidun, he is already overwhelmed by the alchemist's affairs. As long as they give the order to suppress Huidun City, it will probably take him a long time to recover.

After exploring the ruins and obtaining the secret treasure during this period, the gap between Huidun and them will become bigger and bigger.

Since Huidun can't achieve anything, in order to pretend to be a friendly brother in front of my father, I won't kill him for the time being.
