Chapter 1264 1266 Theocracy"I'm here..." at the great hall of splendorous and majestic, A very well maintained middle-aged man dropped a letter on the table in front of him.
He may be in his thirties or forties, but his face is radiant, his blond hair glowing faintly in the sun.
He had read the letter sent by the messenger of the Empire of Flames, and the conditions given by the other party had to be said to be very generous, which made the Supreme Pope in the Holy See very excited.
However, the bigger the temptation, the deeper the trap may be, so he hasn't made up his mind yet whether he wants to be this early bird.
An Archbishop standing under the steps was a little anxious and persuaded: "Your Majesty... The Empire of Flames lets us experiment with the depths at this time... I really don't have a good heart."
"Although I know he has no good intentions, I think I should give it a try." Another Archbishop spoke at this time and gave a diametrically opposite opinion.
"This... His Majesty the Pope... If we fight both sides and suffer with each other, wouldn't it be cheaper for the Empire of Flames?" Hearing someone objecting to him, Archbishop, who was the first to speak, immediately retorted. road.
"You're right, if we fight both sides and suffer with each other, it is indeed the Empire of Flames that will benefit, but if we don't fight, it may not be our Holy See that will benefit." At this point, the minister who suggested intervening continued to defend his claim.
The Pope's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, as if he had just woken up. He took another look at the letter he threw on the table, and sighed said: "I have to think about the benefits that we will get if we win. If the Empire of Fire acknowledges allegiance, then we have a real meaning. Homeland, this benefit must be carefully considered.”
In the past, the Holy See did not dare to launch religious wars easily in order to avoid provoking the empire. The contradiction between imperial power and divine power has continued to this day.
Because of the mutual constraints between the various empires, the Holy See has developed into the current state of being too big.
In the past, because the various empires did not take the Holy See seriously, they did not pay too much attention to such a small force. Who would have thought that a thousand years ago, the Holy See accidentally got the Sword of Heavenly God, the weapon of God, and became an existence above the Four Great Empires.
With the Heavenly God Sword, the Holy See has completely become the existence of the four empires who cannot afford to offend! Although there is still not much land, the Holy See has become the strongest force to check and balance the Four Great Empires!
If you can take advantage of this crisis to gain the territory of an empire, for the Holy See, it is the best chance to establish itself as an "independent country".
Of course, the promises of the Empire of Flames may not always be fulfilled, but at that time, no one will know whether the Empire of Flames will have the courage to face the Holy Sect army that defeated the Spiritual God.
The Pope continued to speak slowly and expressed his thoughts: "In addition, we also have to eliminate these outsiders... They are not the real Spiritual God, because they call themselves the Empire, not the Divine Kingdom. !"
The monarchy and theocracy have been opposites since ancient times, twins who hated each other. Because the cake is just a little bit big, the religious power has taken a piece, and the imperial power has to eat one less piece. This is something that can't be helped.
Since it is impossible to make a big cake, robbing each other of the cake in each other's hands has become an inevitable choice for everyone - everyone wants to eat more, which is determined by the greed of human beings in the bones.
Because of this, a country that calls itself an empire must not be a friend of the Holy See! It's a standpoint, as if capitalism would not like people who want to revolutionize their lives.
Therefore, when the Alanhill Empire asked the commoners to only respect and worship their emperor, I hope that the Holy See on Planet 2 will become the natural enemy of the Alanhill Empire!
Similarly, the Holy See, let alone the Alanhill Empire, has become the most powerful enemy they must face now.
"The idea they instilled in the common people is not to respect Spiritual God, but to obey the laws of the Empire... This is contrary to our beliefs!" The Pope stood facing the two below the steps. The Archbishops continued to express their own views: "If they are willing to respect Spiritual God, then they are natural allies with us! But they ask people to obey their emperor, which is natural with the gods we believe in. Opposite!"
"So we can only decide the winner and loser with them! This is a war that must be fought... In any case, this is a test that God has given us, and we must Prove your faith, as unbreakable as a mountain!" He said this and stood up.
The man in his forties was tall and had a natural imposing manner. He wears a patterned white robe with red embellishments on his shoulders.
"As always! The Holy Sect Army is going to fight for the true God! Get the Great Knight ready! Holy Sect Army Knight regiment, go with me!" The Pope extended the hand and did A departure gesture.
The two Archbishops saw that the Pope was determined to fight, so they could only bend down slightly and sang loudly: "Your Majesty the Pope is wise!"
The blonde pope turned around Without saying anything, he walked straight to a corridor dotted with torches behind him.
This promenade slopes downwards, with guards standing on both sides in addition to the torches. These guards bowed their heads one after another when the Pope passed by - and it was only when they did this action that they seemed to have life.
The Pope didn't stop, just walked forward like this, until he reached the front of a huge stone gate, and then stretched out his palm.
His hand pressed on a stone, and the stone gate began to slowly open. The inside of the stone gate is dark, as if there is no end to the endless darkness.
The Pope extended the hand to take a bunch of torches from the wall by the light of the door. He held the torch and continued forward, the beating firelight only illuminating a small section of the road beneath his feet.
"Da... da... da..." In this empty darkness, only the Pope's footsteps echoed. Finally, a stone platform appeared on the spot illuminated by the firelight in front of the Pope.
On this stone platform, there is a thing that reflects the light of the torch. The Pope stood there, overlooking the thing lying quietly on the stone platform. Hand went and grabbed the thing that lay there quietly.
