After Becoming The Tyrant

Sharp, icy, and merciless.

All the self-deception was torn away in front of the word "coward", and underneath was his own shame and embarrassment.The old president seemed to be ten years old in an instant, his lips moved several times, and finally he couldn't say a word.

The overly young king had a mocking smile on his lips, and a gloomy coldness shrouded his brows and eyes.His pale fingertips tapped on the armrest, and the sound was unhurried, like a nocturnal owl looking at the shivering mole hiding in the dark.

"Let me guess, why did you choose to flee to Legrand now... because the Holy Court intends to use you as sacrifices to solve the Black Death, right?"

The old president and Yali were silent.

"You have begged for mercy for so many years, even at the expense of betraying your best disciples, but in the end you found that in the eyes of the holy court, even if you have hung the cross and memorized the holy book backwards, you are still heretics in their eyes. There are many heretics tolerable It is their kindness to live for a while." The king said softly, "It is only when the lamb is about to be slaughtered that it struggles to get out of the cage."

He sneered lowly and leaned back on the back of the chair.

"What is your confidence?" The king raised his head slightly, "Because you are very familiar with the Holy Court, because you can divination, you can spy on fate, and you can help an army win every battle. Perhaps, your biggest bargaining chip is that you Know what the power of the Holy Court is? Am I right? Mr. President."

"Yes, we know the Holy Court's next plan."

The old president whispered.

"Tell me." The king said coldly, "Whether you can survive depends on whether you have enough chips."

His tone made it clear that if the astrologers did not show their worth, then he would definitely turn against them and chop off their heads immediately.

"Their plan is called..."

The old president paused.

"A blade bestowed by God."

………………

There are two things that make people powerless to resist, one is the wheel of the times, and the other is the power of gods.

When the two collide together, the former will collide with the latter, and the vortex will engulf and strangle everything that looks like ants.

Blacy was deeply caught in such a whirlpool at this time.

After Ferry III retired, Blessie had undergone tremendous changes.

At the previous coronation ceremony, King Charles knelt down before the pope and handed over a treasure ball symbolizing royal power to the pope. host.Since then, the blue King Blacy flag embroidered with tulips has added something new - a golden cross.

The keen people realized the change of things when there was an extra cross on the emblem of the royal family of Blessie.

As Ferry III said when he burned the palace, King Charles, who was crowned by the Pope, was just a weak king like a paper man.The cross on his crown is the true master of the country.

When the carriage with the golden cross passed through the street, people gave way one after another.The golden cross is the symbol of the Knights Templar.

As the battle swords of the Holy Court, they are the majestic side of the Holy Lord and cannot be touched.

In less than a month, the Templar Knights of the Holy Court entered various important towns in Blessie.

This change made Blacy's local nobles feel uneasy

.

It is true that Blaise's nobles believe in the Holy Court, but this is based on the fact that believing in the Holy Court can bring them more benefits.In the past, they were able to collude with the clergy, forcing the royal family to retreat step by step to gain more autonomy and establish their own country in the kingdom.

Someone once said that Blessie's royal family is actually an "island country on land", which means that with the support of the Holy Court, the lord has the same status as the monarch in his own territory.

Because of this, the nobles "piously" believed in the Holy Court.

But believing in clay statues and truly dedicating everything to the Lord are two different things.The clergy from the Holy Court took office as county sheriffs in various places, which undoubtedly took away the rights that originally belonged to the local lords.

King Charles was like a puppet, but the local nobles were unwilling to lose their interests so much. They connected some bishops in series, and a wave of anger against the Pope arose in the country.They claim that the Pope is doing this for his own ambitions, not for the Kingdom of God.

They had thought it would stop the pope from his troubling activities.

However, they were wrong.

Over the past 1000 years, the Holy Court has been like a silent and motionless chariot, capable of controlling various countries only by relying on its own majesty.Now, when the voices of opposition arose, the Pope, with his policy of iron, drove the long-dormant chariot to its terrible roar.

The local lords of Blaise, who were not reconciled to having their rights taken away by the church personnel, soon encountered the conquest of the church.

It was a dense army of knights, and the platinum-golden banner spread out like a tide.When the army of God rose from the horizon, it was as numerous as a sea of ​​sand.Shouting chapters from the holy book, the Templars rolled across the lands of the local lords in silver armor.

The war horse rolled past, crushing all obstacles in the rumble, and the roar shook the sky and the earth.

Countless people witnessed with their own eyes that on the battlefield, a bright cross appeared above the sun in the sky.Under the guidance of the cross in the sky, some people even saw an angel in armor appearing in front of the army on the battlefield. The angel swung his long sword and then disappeared.But the army guided by the angels was invincible, and all resistance was torn apart with little effort.

After many years, the pope's iron fist and the power of the holy court shocked the world again.

The chronicler of Blessie called the battle in Blessie the "Battle of the Ring" after witnessing the phantom of an angel guiding the army forward.

Everyone knows that at this moment, the Holy Court has personally played twice in history.

One was the "Battle of God's Punishment" in Holy Spirit Bay in 1000, which directly destroyed the mighty Legrand and plunged the Rose Royal Family into endless civil strife.The first time was the current "Battle of the God Ring" in Blaise, which directly wiped out all the voices of grievance against the Holy Court in Blaise. In the afterglow of the war, an unprecedented kingdom has revealed its embryonic form.

In this era, people believed that the outcome of wars was decided by the Holy Lord.

The holy court once again emphasized this point to people with its two wars that shocked the world.

The capital of Blacy, the Cathedral of Acellia.

After the coronation of King Charles, the Pope lived here and did not return to the holy city.

The Pope, with his gray hair, stood with all the cardinals and archbishops before the statue in the nave of the Cathedral of Acellia.The Cardinal accompanied the Pope, while the bishops of Blaise stood quietly below.The Pope looked up at the statue, and his figure looked a little thin under the large white robe.

"I am very happy that you have brought me good news." The pope opened a thick manuscript and spread it out flat, just like ordinary priests preaching the holy book to believers.

"Holy, holy, the battle of armies."

Cardinal Sissian drew the cross on his chest. He is the person in charge of the Knights of the Temple, and he is leading the "battle of divine responsibility" on the land of Bracy.

"Holy Lord bless us, His army is invincible. We have gained the actual control of Blacy, Holy See."

"It's not easy to get to this point, my old friends." The Pope sighed, looking around at the cardinals around him, "Some of us have returned to the embrace of the Holy Lord, and some have abandoned us. Today You have been summoned to tell you a sad story."

"Listen to your teachings."

The cardinals bowed their heads humbly, all of them were like servants in front of the Pope.Because the Pope is the closest person to God in this world.

"His name is Warwick Bligh," said the Pope flatly. "Some of you may have heard that name. He is the most gifted of all our Blessed Ones. He is the embodiment of Saint Val on earth." .”

"However, he died not long ago."

The bishops were startled, and they looked at each other.

Those who can stand here know what the "Blessed One" stands for - every Blessed One is carefully cultivated by the Holy Court, and when necessary, they can be transformed into real angels.It is impossible for the Blessed One to die, because the Angel cannot be killed!

But Warwick Bligh was dead.

"My friends, it's hard to believe, isn't it?" The Pope turned around, his gaze extremely sharp, "These days of war have shaken some of you, and you've begun to wonder if it's really necessary to build a kingdom of God on the ground .But we can get power from God, so why can't heretics get power from darkness?"

"The monarch of Legrand has completely fallen."

"Darkness is reviving on the earth through the kingdom of the human world. If we cannot establish the kingdom of gods, how will we save the world and fight against the darkness?"

he said sharply.

"It is the responsibility of all the apostles to establish the kingdom of God." Cardinal Sissian replied loudly, he still carried the bloody smell of war these days, and his eyes swept over the other people in the hall, "Only the fallen ones It will be shaken by the blood of heretics."

"Holy Lord, He will return to the earth and bring us salvation."

The Bishops of Blaise were horrified. Cicean, who was in charge of the military affairs of the Holy Court, was the Pope's right-hand man. He was the most loyal person in the Holy Court to the Pope.To some extent, he is the sharpest sword in the Pope's hands.

When the Pope handed over, the situation was similar to now.The dialogue at that time directly triggered the unprecedented "heretical purge campaign" that followed.

Could it be that this time, there will be a new purge?

"Peter, Kapal, Blair..." The Pope slowly read out a few names, and the faces of those whose names were read turned pale.

The door of the hall suddenly opened, and the temple knights poured in, taking them down directly.

"His Holiness! His Holiness!" Bishop Peter whose name was read first turned pale, and he struggled to say something.

But there was a dead silence in the hall, and the cardinals in charge of the internal trials of the Holy Court were expressionless.

"I regret that."

The Pope looked at Bishop Peter who was pushed to the ground with pity.

"You have forgotten your true heart, and you are with fallen people like Ferry who have been excommunicated and still have no repentance. May the Holy Lord give you the final salvation."

"God guides our way!" All the cardinals stood up, raising their arms high, "Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!"

"Holy Lord above."

The pope raised his hand and made a sign of the cross on his chest.

"We have taken back God's rights from the Lamb of God, now, we should truly establish His kingdom!"

1433, spring.

The winter snow from the previous year to this year was melted by the flames of war, and the melted water gathered into a blood-colored river.The storm between the Abyss Strait has gradually subsided, and the ocean currents have begun to change direction. The ship from the east coast of the Abyss Strait to Legrand will have a favorable time with smooth sailing.

In the Cathedral of Aseria in Blacy, the Divine Blade will be drawn.

………………

Hell, the castle of black stone and bone.

The devil sat on the tower, the scepter of bone lay aside.

He drank slowly, and what he drank was a strong wine called "Night Rose".

This is a special spirit from hell. After drinking it, it feels like a fire is on fire, but the taste has a hint of bitterness, giving people the feeling of an elegant and lonely lunatic.

The dead lady of hell is the best brewer of this wine, because this wine uses the spring water of hell, the fragments of the soul.The water in the spring of the abyss is extremely cold all year round, and the water is very clear, but falling down can freeze the metal into ice, only the undead can not be affected, but the wine brewed from this kind of water is very strong.

The devil added rose petals to it, and it looked as scarlet as blood.

For more than a thousand years, there have been times when the devil sat alone in the tower of the deserted Rose Palace and poured himself a drink.

He drank this wine and waited for someone like this wine to return.

The crow, Meng Laan, stopped quietly some distance away from the devil.Not even crows wanted to get too close to him while he was drinking.

The devil's hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He raised his head, his eyes seemed to see the world through the dark red sky.

"here we go."

The wine in the devil's hand suddenly disappeared. He stood up, and the wind blew his black dress like a swallowtail.

He left hell without hesitation.
