King

The wonderful misunderstanding did not affect the alliance meeting as scheduled.

Business is business, and business still needs to be done.

Unlike ordinary diplomats, although members of the Alliance Parliament do not receive a salary, this represents an unusual status.

Theoretically, most of the top nobles have parliamentary seats. However, until now, it has basically followed the principle of national unity.

Participating in the meeting is a reflection of the country's right to speak in the alliance, and it needs to express the position of the represented force at the meeting.

If you are absent for personal reasons and an accident occurs during the decision-making process, you will be held responsible if you return.

On the castle, looking at the parliamentary representatives who continued to enter, Caesar IV showed a delighted smile.

After planning for so long, this beautiful moment finally arrived. It was the first time since the establishment of the Alpha Kingdom that it was able to mediate the human civil war in the southern continent.

In the past years, the countries in the Northern Continent have always been "poor relatives in the countryside" in everyone's eyes.

Even though the Alpha Kingdom is a powerful country on the mainland, it cannot be stubborn within the Alliance because of its long-term need to seek help from the Alliance.

After developing all the way to now, when faced with the invasion of orcs again, it was no longer necessary to ask for help from the alliance, and the kingdom's backbone was finally strengthened.

"Your Majesty, the meeting time is almost here."

Lord Mitchell, the Prime Minister of the Palace, reminded him.

"Um!"

In response, Caesar IV turned around and walked out of the conference hall with heroic steps.

As a host, it is very rude to be late. In addition to mediating the civil war in the southern continent, the most important thing about convening this meeting is to show the good side of the kingdom to the international community.

Suddenly, a dragon roar rang out in the sky, instantly attracting the attention of countless representatives. On the contrary, the people of Canglan City were already used to it.

Compared to the other dragon knights on the mainland, Hudson is undoubtedly the most active. He rides the dragon to the royal capital every now and then.

In this regard, not only ordinary people are envious, but also several other dragon knights. They are both dragon knights, but their dragon mounts are not so obedient.

When people sign a contract, they come to the human world to experience life, not just as a working dragon.

Occasionally coming out to help the shit shovelers support the scene is okay. If you want to use them as a means of transportation, you must first see if your body is strong enough.

Generally speaking, only the dragon knight who can defeat the dragon in a duel will have enough say in the conclusion of the contract.

This is also the main reason why the outside world has always doubted Hudson's strength.

The domineering power is exposed, the dragon automatically recognizes its master, and can only be used to fool ordinary people.

Mainland China’s top executives all know that stories like these from myths and legends are basically made up to deceive people, and whoever believes them will be stupid!

As the subject of the conversation, Hudson never took a stand. The limited number of shots focused on highlighting the "unfathomable".

He used the compass to hide his cultivation, and the psychedelic strength he showed confused all the powerful men in the holy realm who had come into contact with him.

However, as long as he is unwilling to talk about his status, no one from the outside world can force him to do so.

Even if there were rumors from the outside that he was a strong man from the Sanctuary, Hudson ignored it.

"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" and "pretending to be a tiger and eating a pig" are not the best ways to play. Mystery is the most frightening thing.

The most direct consequence is that in the underground world, the reward for assassinating him has been stacked up to five million gold coins, but no killer has taken the order.

To know such a price, even if it is to assassinate the king, there are "brave men" who dare to try it.

The number of seats in the parliament is a carrot and a pit. It has been dominated by the old nobles for a long time. As a new noble, the Koslow family has never had the chance to get a quota.

Under normal circumstances, the Koslow family would have to wait in line until a major noble family in the country declines before filling the position.

Or maybe when the Human Alliance re-elects members, they can get a spot.

Because of the nomination of "Human Marshal", this process was directly accelerated.

Affected by the last continental war, many small countries were brutally destroyed, and naturally they could no longer retain their parliamentary seats.

Several big countries that also expanded during the last continental war have further increased their voice in the alliance due to their increased territorial territory and overall national strength, and they also have demands for more parliamentary seats.

These issues will all be discussed at this alliance meeting. Only when relevant issues are resolved can subsequent votes be legally binding.

Regardless of whether the title of "Human Marshal" can be passed, as a large country that has successfully expanded its territory, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably increase its seats in the parliament, and the Koslow family will definitely be among them.

There is no doubt that this kind of precedent-setting re-election of members is the result of private communication between several major powers.

After all, the three strongest companies will benefit the most from the re-election, and it is difficult to think about the speed of advancement without being aggressive.

Looking at the new faces at the scene, we can tell that these are prospective members who have been appointed in advance, and they are only one step away from becoming official members.

Of course, when a family leader like Hudson came in person, it was only when he got a seat for the first time, and he was followed by authorized representatives to attend the meeting.

The showman's way of appearing was destined to make Hudson a conspicuous person in the venue. The representatives may not know King Caesar IV, but they must know him as the Dragon Knight.

The effect is very obvious. The continent of Aslant believes in respecting the strong. From the moment he entered the hall, Hudson received countless kind smiles.

The Alpha Kingdom is isolated in the northern continent, and it is difficult to participate in the affairs of the southern continent. This is the kingdom's biggest disadvantage, and it is also its biggest advantage.

The long distance means that for a long time in the future, there will be no conflicts of core interests.

Although the human race currently respects the three major kingdoms, the Franks and Ilibans only regard each other as competitors.

As for the third child’s Alpha Kingdom, it is out of reach of everyone now, so what threat is there to it?

The Kingdom's only mortal enemy among the human race, the Holy See, had its tiger skin torn off by the Franks again, and now it is the meat on the chopping board. If you have too much time to take care of yourself, how can you find the time to cause trouble for Hudson?

As a member of the human camp, as long as there is no conflict of interest, most of them will naturally express goodwill.

Seeing this scene, Hudson felt relieved. Although the title of "Marshal of the Human Race" has a significant impact, it will not affect the substantive interests of all countries.

Even if it was hit, it was within the Alpha Kingdom. As a marshal who takes advantage of foreign races, Hudson's heart is not empty at all.

In the Alpha Kingdom, as long as we can lead everyone to destroy the Orc Empire, then all issues can be easily discussed.

What's more, after Hudson made the cake bigger, he took a share from the increased share of the cake, and left the rest for everyone to share. All parties had no reason to refuse.

When personal interests are tied to everyone's interests, then everyone is "one of our own."

…

“We welcome all representatives from all over the mainland to Canglan City to participate in this alliance meeting.

Time is running out, so let’s start the meeting agenda now. In accordance with the relevant legal provisions of the alliance meeting, the conference entered the first agenda and re-elected alliance members.

…”

On the rostrum, Caesar IV preached vigorously.

Originally, this kind of host's job only needed to send a highly respected minister to preside over it, but now it was directly snatched away by the king who was eager to be recognized.

Even from a distance, Hudson could tell that Caesar IV was much more cheerful than before.

Obviously, this is the beginning of his gradual escape from the shadow of Caesar III.

All sons of heroes will inevitably have to compare themselves with their awesome fathers. If you can't get out of this shadow area, you will basically be useless.

I am not afraid that the king will just wait to die, but I am afraid that the new king will want to prove himself. According to historical experience, the more a monarch wants to prove himself, the greater the consequences will be.

In this regard, Caesar IV was lucky. Although Caesar III was powerful, he died too early before he could finish the affairs of the kingdom.

If he had lived a few more years, cheated all the way, destroyed the Orc Empire, and left Caesar IV with a powerful empire, that would be the true meaning of "darkness."

Caesar IV, who was blessed with good fortune, has not struggled much in recent years. Due to the continuous increase of the kingdom's comprehensive strength, he has become one of the few "famous kings" on the mainland.

Together with Charles III, Bordeaux VIII, and his uncle George, they are known as the "Four Monarchs of the Human Race".

Instead of the long speech in the past, the opening speech went straight to the topic, which is the character that Caesar IV wants to reveal to the outside world.

Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, everyone was very accepting of the strong Alpha characteristics.

Of course, in his heart, Hudson always thought this was: people didn’t want to have long meetings.

Instead of listening to a bunch of useless political jargon, it is better to finish the meeting early and go back to deal with the personal belongings you brought.

Empiricism kills people, and the purchasing enthusiasm shown by the Alpha Kingdom nobles was much lower than everyone expected.

Fortunately, the representatives who arrived early made a fortune. Those who came from behind were in trouble, with a large amount of "baggage" piled up on their hands.

There is no way, who made their market positioning wrong? If a large amount of strategic materials such as grain and meat products are shipped, the warehouse can definitely be cleared on the same day.

Who would spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of "luxury goods" for pleasure at this time?

Now most of the heads of nobles from all over the country have gathered on the front line, and the remaining nobles who are left behind only have a few money in their pockets.

Even if it's a businessman giving a gift, he still has a good eye for it. If you can get a large amount of strategic materials, you will be a distinguished guest in anyone's house.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the amount of strategic materials is large enough, the king can come out to greet them in person. Even getting a title is not impossible.

Although you won't be kicked out if you send a bunch of luxury goods, you don't want the noble lord to take him seriously.

Maybe the rightful owners on the front lines wouldn't even know about their gifts, let alone appreciate them.

The alliance meeting did not get off to a smooth start. As soon as Caesar IV finished speaking, a group of representatives of the perishing small countries started making a fuss.

The country is gone. If they lose their status as members, they will be nothing.

It is a pity that the world is cruel, and when it comes to the interests of big countries, it cannot be changed by making a few noises.

After the members of the presidium tried to persuade them to no avail, the guards came directly in and "invited" the people out. The scene fell into chaos for a while, but fortunately the situation was generally under control.

As an appeasement, the alliance meeting still made a promise that as long as the aliens are defeated in the future, they will be restored to the country and their parliamentary seats will be restored.

Sure enough, "painting" is an innate talent of politicians, and everyone can learn it without a teacher.

Even if the Human Alliance really destroys the alien races and helps them regain their country, the people in power will no longer be "losers" like them.

For details, please refer to the Alpha Kingdom occupying the Near East.

A few years ago, the Orc Prairie was once the territory of the Seven Prairie Kingdoms, but after passing through the hands of the Orcs, it became a land without one.

If the Alliance Parliament was not in session at the time, there would have been another fight over territorial ownership.

The election of members was completed amidst the chaos. As the most representative figure among the new members, Hudson was at the forefront of the crowd.

"Wait a minute!"

The sudden stop interrupted the ongoing swearing-in of members. Looking in the direction of the sound, it was the location of the Holy See delegation.

Facing the doubtful glances of the crowd, Bishop Montezon glared angrily and said, "It is my Holy See clergy who are responsible for presiding over the oaths of office to the Lord of the Dawn. What is going on today?"

What is supposed to come will eventually come. But Hudson didn't expect that the first thing that triggered the conflict was a swearing-in ceremony.

However, considering the special nature of the Human Alliance Council, the Vatican really has no choice but to dispute the identity of the presiding officer.

The window paper was punctured, and everyone noticed that the number of clergy presiding over the swearing-in ceremony today had increased from one to two.

Once the ceremony just now is completed, it means that the Human Alliance has officially recognized the legitimacy of the Northern Holy See and the Southern Holy See.

Obviously, this wave is the Alpha Kingdom and the Frank Empire joining forces to play a secret plot.

If Bishop Montesson hadn't responded quickly, by the time the matter became a foregone conclusion, they would no longer be "representatives of the Holy See" but "representatives of the Papal State."

It seems like it's just a different name, but the meaning is completely different. From a religious organization to a national camp, their transcendent status will no longer exist.

"Your Excellency, please calm down.

God loves the world, and all clergy are servants of God. According to the regulations of the alliance meeting, as long as the clergy is of high moral character, I think they can preside over today's ceremony! "

Prime Minister Marquis Delgado replied calmly.

It is obvious that the Kingdom has been well prepared for this. It has even found excuses to silence people, but it has never mentioned the issue of religious legitimacy.

Just as Bishop Montezon was about to speak, he saw rich holy light pouring out of the two hosts.

"saint!"

The exclamations of the congressmen directly detonated the whole place.

Two saints who had been rare to see for a hundred years suddenly appeared. There was no news in advance. They were clearly prepared for today.

Full of doubts, Bishop Montesson could only swallow it back. If the saints are not qualified to preside over today's ceremony, then the gods can only come in person.

Vaguely, he suddenly understood. With such a trump card, it is no wonder that the two major heretics in the north and the south dared to risk the wrath of the gods to establish a new Holy See.

In the field of religion, saints are the most special beings. Although it is not a position of real power, it is the closest to the gods.

Historically, gods issued oracles, either to the pope, to saints, or both.

With saints serving as facades, no one can continue to deny the North and South Holy See’s devotion to gods. Especially since the saint on the left was holding a heritage artifact, Bishop Montezon was dumbfounded.

It was obvious that even if the Pope came in person, there would be no way to stop today's ceremony.

As far as Hudson knew, no matter what the believer's previous strength was, as long as he became a saint, he would immediately gain power comparable to that of the Holy Realm.

The power attributes of saints and inherited artifacts are best matched, and they can almost exert the full power of the artifact. When the two are combined, they become a top powerhouse in the mainland.

In the past, these were the heritage that only belonged to the Holy See, but now the monopoly has been broken. The worst thing is that both the Northern and Southern Vatican have introduced their own saints, but the orthodox Vatican currently has none.

If this news spreads, the blow to the Holy See of Dawn would probably be no less than the establishment of another Holy See.

As a melon-eater, while watching the excitement of the Holy See, Hudson also re-examined the heritage of various countries in his heart.

I thought I knew enough about the power of the kingdom, but I didn't expect that an unknown saint would appear now.

But it’s normal if you think about it carefully. Without some wealth, the Alpha Kingdom before the military reform would not have been able to survive the orcs’ invasions for hundreds of years.

After feeling emotional, Hudson quickly regained his composure. The main function of the saints is as a religious call, not for fighting.

These people who devote themselves wholeheartedly to the gods have long been beyond the control of power. It's okay to invite them to come and preside over the ceremony, but trying to manipulate them into working hard is just a dream.

Referring to the cases of saints taking action in the history books, it was either the gods ordering a holy war or the invasion of aliens that threatened the survival of the race.

They have always been bystanders to the power struggles within the human race. Even if he appears on the battlefield, he is here to break up the fight.

"If there's nothing else, let's start the swearing-in ceremony for members now!"

The words of the old saint made Bishop Montesson extremely ashamed. If he had known that two saints were scheduled to preside over the ceremony today, he would never have opened his mouth and humiliated himself just now.
