After waking up

In the palace of Ilhan, the general who had ended the Shirkin uprising and his colleagues submitted a report.

"Your Majesty, we believe that attacking the royal capital is just a way for the rebels to disrupt our sight. They just keep us tied up. Moreover, there are defensive advantages around the royal capital and we do not need so many troops."

"Your Majesty, we should send out all our elite troops to suppress the rebellion."

The ministers around the king immediately retorted.

"Protecting the king is the most important thing, and if more troops are sent out, extraordinary people will definitely be needed to accompany them, which will create a weak link in the capital."

"Then the Dilga people can join the army!"

"The Dilga people have cut off news from us. This is also an important reason why the capital is in danger. Because there are traitors here, we need the army and wizards to protect us!"

The general ignored the others, looked at the king, and then pointed to the map spread out by his colleagues.

"Your Majesty, these people are just greedy for life and want to protect their property, but I dare to conclude that the rebels will never attack the royal capital. What they are good at is inserting guerrillas to create chaos, and the surrounding area of ​​the royal capital is wide and there is no internal There are too many factories and there is no basis for their advantages!”

The king frowned and listened to the quarrel in the hall, and finally spoke.

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until the Dilga people get rid of the rebels before taking action?"

"Your Majesty! The Dilga people may not be trustworthy. After all, they are not Ilhan people. Their priority will only be the interests of the Dilga Empire!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! We should trust our generals!"

Some ministers also spoke up to help.

The general argued vigorously.

"Your Majesty, although Queen Dilga is young, she is profound and unpredictable. Mulan Jonst is famous for being resourceful, but after the arrival of the Dilga people, their actions were not decisive, but seemed to be procrastinating. I think it must not be done. Completely rely on the Dilga people!”

"That's because there is a traitor, and the Dilga people can't trust us!"

"So how can we rely on them when we don't trust each other? As long as Sir Sylven and a small number of wizards go out with the army, the rebellions in various places can be quickly ended."

"Your Excellency Sylven needs to protect His Majesty!"

"The palace has a formation, and even high-level extraordinary beings cannot break it easily!"

"General Niven, your words are too bold!"

"I just don't want to waste the opportunity. If we don't make a decision, the rebels will no longer be just rebels!"

The king frowned and felt confused. He was not a decisive person. Although he was also afraid that the royal capital would be attacked, the generals' words were also very pertinent.

At this time, a servant ran in, walked to the king's ear and said a few words, which immediately put a surprised expression on his face.

"Stop arguing, the representatives of the Holy Mountain are outside! Go and invite them in."

"It's Your Majesty."

The courtiers and generals in the quarrel showed doubts and disbelief.

Holy church? No one has ever invited them, right? Who contacted Holy Mountain?

You must know that the relationship between Ilhan and the Holy Mountain is not harmonious. There are few decent church buildings in the entire country.

At this time, there was an obvious sound of footsteps and armor shaking outside the hall. All the ministers and generals slowly retreated to both sides, forming two distinct groups.

Under the leadership of the palace attendants, five people wearing heavy metal armor walked into the hall step by step. At this moment, the hall seemed to become brighter because of the armor on their bodies.

The five men in heavy armor stood still and scanned the hall, finally locking their sights on the throne.

"The execution grand knight of the Holy Knights has met King Ilhan. May the Holy Light protect you all."

The holy knights held their helmets in one hand and stood in the center of the hall, simply placing their hands on their chests as a salute.

"Welcome, Your Excellency, Knight of the Temple!"

The king simply said something, and the ministers around him immediately answered.

"The messenger of the Holy Temple came to our country, and he is also a Holy Knight. I wonder what happened that alarmed you all?"

The leading holy knight showed a solemn expression.

"Everything in the world is born under the holy light, and the people of Ilhan should also be protected by the holy light. We heard that something terrible happened to Ilhan, so we came to help."

The knight looked up at the king.

"The Holy Light is kind and generous. Ilhan does not need to provide any reward. All he needs is that Ilhan can sincerely embrace the Holy Light of God."

This is the missionary right that the church has coveted for a long time.

Even the king and ministers frowned, but they couldn't help but consider some possibilities and gains and losses.

Belief in the Holy Light is just a joke for many nobles. If they can let the Holy Light help their side win, then let the Holy Church help ease the relationship with Basman.

"Does this mean that there is no need for reward? The mission of the church itself is an extremely generous reward. The establishment of the church will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources. A large amount of wealth will be gathered around the church. The return to the church is not small!"

A young minister next to General Niven spoke.

"The Holy Church can calm the common people and let them understand that only by working hard and living a stable life can they truly bathe in the Holy Light and find peace after death!"

General Niven also came out again.

"Your Majesty, we have the confidence and ability to solve all problems by ourselves. Besides, we also have the help of Dilga, so we don't need the Holy Church to intervene!"

"Your Majesty, General Niven is right, we don't need any additional help!"

An old general in Ilhan's army also came out to help speak.

The Holy Church has great interference in the political power of a country. More importantly, once the Holy Church is truly introduced, the group headed by the aristocratic class will inevitably redistribute interests with the Holy Church. This is absolutely unacceptable.

The ministers soon became opposed. Although the Dilgar people were arrogant, their strength was there after all, and it was impossible to cause much loss to Ilhan's interests. However, once the Holy Temple was introduced, they could never get rid of it. .

The king originally really wanted the church's help, but when he saw that all the ministers were opposed, he changed his attitude and vetoed the church's proposal.

Not getting the reply he wanted, the Holy Knight did not show any obvious disappointment.

"That's such a shame!"

After the Holy Knight finished speaking, he turned around and left directly with the people. He left the palace and refused Ilhan's arrangement of accommodation, but walked towards the city by himself.

"Sir, I can feel an evil force approaching here. It is like an invisible mist, trying to cover the entire king's capital."

"The shadow of the other world?"

"Yes, sir, this kind of power is amazing. If it is a demon, it must be the only terrifying existence I have ever seen in my life."

Several holy knights raised their heads. The sky was now covered with dark clouds, but they were not looking at the clouds, but as if they could see the darkness permeating the other world through reality.

"It can't come out. To use this power, there must be a powerful carrier in reality. The Ilhans won't be able to be tough for long!"

"Let's find a place first. We have to stay here for a while."

A few holy knights walking on the street not only turn heads, but their heavy armor is more eye-catching than the noble ladies wearing the most gorgeous clothes and the brightest feathered hats.

At a certain moment, at a distant street corner, Mulan, who had just walked out of the alley with Haisen, suddenly looked towards the street. Several solemn holy knights were walking past as if no one else was around. It was really hard to let everyone pay attention to them. Mulan and Haisen didn't notice.

"Holy Knight, why are you here?"

"Could it be that Ilhan also asked for help from the Holy Mountain?"

Mulan looked at the Holy Knight from the corner of his eyes and said to Haisen sideways.

"If it was just my personal subjective plan just now, I'm afraid it has to be implemented now. Ilhan's fall to the Holy Mountain is definitely not in the interest of the empire!"

Haisen also narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, Ilhan can never become a pious nation of the Holy Temple."

In the other corner of the city, another Mulan and Ivan have also arrived at the capital of Ilhan. Looking at the prosperity in front of them, Ivan can't help but feel a little emotional.

“It would be nice if it was as shiny as it looks in such a bustling city.”

"A perfect situation is impossible, and sometimes, it is precisely because of the existence of some flaws that the nobility of the shining point can be reflected. Of course, I am not talking about this."

Mulan and Aiwen were walking and talking. Suddenly Mulan's footsteps paused and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Things are getting more and more interesting. People from the temple are also here. They are the Holy Knights. There are five holy knights."

Alvin's originally smiling face suddenly became calm and serious.

"The church is very good."

Mulan moved his hands and feet.

"In that case, let's start early, in case the people in the temple run away."

"There should be a knight commander among the five holy knights. Don't underestimate the enemy."

"Won't."

Mulan looked up at the sky. The dark clouds were getting denser.

"Rumble--"

Thunder sounded in the sky, and everyone on the street was in a hurry. After all, it looked like it was going to rain heavily.
