King

The rain of blood fell quickly, confirming the ancient prophecy.

"Duke, the blood moon is ominous, don't touch it easily!"

Seeing Hudson walking out of the door, Afia reminded him hurriedly.

The profession of diviner ranks high among all high-risk professions in the mainland.

Not only does it consume resources to practice, but his personal combat effectiveness is also weak, and he has to suffer the backlash of destiny.

If you want to live a long life, you must find a reliable thigh to hold on to.

A boss like Hudson, who has raised them for several years without having to do a single task, is not that easy to find.

"Don't worry, it's just the resentment left by the gods, it's nothing!"

Although he said it was easy, Hudson, who was walking in the rain of blood, still held up the magic shield.

Feeling the resentment in the rain of blood, Hudson knew that something had really happened to the god.

What caused the gods to fall was not something he could know. The only thing that was certain was that the continent was going to be in chaos.

Those old antiques who are about to run out of life will never give up any opportunity.

No matter whether the path to becoming a god in the prophecy is true or false, everyone will fight to the death.

In this context, not only the strong foreigners are competitors, but also the strong ones of our own race.

"Duke, I have told you the news, I will leave first!"

As if she thought of something, Afia turned around and ran away after saying that.

Seeing this scene, Hudson's mouth twitched.

Based on the lifespan of a strong man in the Holy Realm, he is still in the child stage and has no sense of urgency at the moment of life and death.

A fortune teller can predict the future, but Hudson doesn't believe that his half-hearted fortune teller can find such a thing as a divine path.

What's more, even if it can be found, not everyone can grasp it. If you don't cultivate to the top, getting involved will mean you will die.

Compared to Hudson's calmness, the outside world exploded.

After seeing the bloody rain, countless old antiques ended their hidden cultivation.

Ancient books related to myths and legends suddenly became very popular and were robbed by all major forces.

The Alpha Kingdom was no exception. The dubious Hudson originally didn't want to participate, but was eventually pulled over.

…

The meeting hall of the royal palace.

Many old antiques that had been dead for many years in the eyes of the outside world were blown up at this moment. No one would know that there are so many strong men hidden in the kingdom unless they see it with their own eyes.

After glancing at all the saintly warriors present, Hudson sat directly in his seat.

As the protagonist, Caesar IV was slightly embarrassed. His throne was directly occupied by his ancestors, and he could only stand aside.

Fortunately, he was not the only unlucky one, as the positions of all the ministers were also taken by their respective ancestors.

It seemed like a coincidence, but Hudson knew it was setting the tone for the meeting.

His intuition told him that Alpha I was probably behind this.

The meeting of peak experts can be held anywhere, there is no need to place it in the meeting hall that symbolizes royal power.

In another place, the elders bring the younger ones to attend the meeting. With such arrangement of seats, no one can find fault.

"When everyone is here, the meeting will begin.

The gods have fallen and the continent is about to enter troubled times. We need to come up with an idea as to where the kingdom should go.

If you have any ideas, please tell us! "

When Alpha I finished speaking, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.

Seeing that everyone was reluctant to speak, Hudson also chose to remain silent.

Compared to these old guys, he still knows too little. Many secrets of the mainland that are passed down by word of mouth cannot be collected just by trying to collect them.

“Alfa, rumors are just rumors after all, and no one can guarantee that the prophecy is true.

Even gods can perish, let alone prophecies left by gods.

We'd better not act rashly until we can determine whether it's true or false. At least there is no need to move until the road to becoming a god appears.

The little guys have done a good job in recent years, so let them continue to do it, and we old guys can just take care of ourselves! "

Fulvio's words moved Caesar IV deeply. This is the pillar of the kingdom, unlike his ancestors who cling to his throne.

“Alfa, Fulvio is right.

If you do more, you will be wrong; if you do not, it will be good.

Let others take the lead. Let's wait and see the situation first and then intervene at the critical moment. "

Phoenix on the side echoed.

It can be seen that they really don't want to bother.

The news of the rain of blood and the death of the gods really shocked them.

With that comes vigilance. Everyone has heard of the prophecy, but the problem is that their own strength does not allow it.

Saint realm experts of the same realm, because they understand different laws, are divided into three, six, and nine levels.

Alpha I, who practices the laws of the emperor, is undoubtedly the strongest among the second-level saints, and is considered the seed player with the best chance of participating in the competition.

The two of them had just entered the second level of the Holy Realm, and their understanding of the laws was not deep enough. Their personal combat effectiveness was very average in the second level of the Holy Realm.

A strong person can enter the game at any time, but if his personal strength is insufficient, he must choose the right time.

"You two think too much!

When such a big thing happens, how can the strong men of all races in the mainland sit still. Once the troubled times begin, how can we be left alone?

If you're not sure where the road to becoming a god will appear, it's a good idea to occupy the territory first.

In troubled times, someone needs to detonate it. Either we actively participate in it, or we respond passively.

Referring to previous continental wars, when has the kingdom been able to survive alone? "

After the mysterious old man finished speaking, all the powerful men present began to whisper among themselves.

Hudson, who was not familiar with these old guys, just closed his eyes and rested in his position. Deep down, he was already busy looking for information about the old man.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched, there was no information matching the number. But being able to enter here for a meeting means that this person is a local strong man in the kingdom.

"Senior, you can't say that!

It is easy to start a war, but it is difficult to have the last laugh. We are not ready for war yet.

The poor geographical location of the kingdom determines that we must be cautious in dealing with wars. If we are not careful, we will be besieged by the enemy on multiple fronts.

If it really comes to the road to becoming a god, the various countries of the human race may not be reliable.

This catastrophe of ten thousand years should not start from the kingdom! "

Hudson responded immediately.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know his identity. Anyway, as long as he shows up, he will know him after this meeting is over.

As the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's armed forces, he did not want the kingdom to be involved in the war early.

If all the powerful people present had the same position, he might still choose to compromise, but now that everyone's positions are divided, there is no need to give in.

"The marshal is right, we should not be the ones who start the robbery.

In recent years, the kingdom has been fighting for years. It is a time when men and horses are exhausted, and the soldiers and civilians need to recuperate.

According to the established plan, when we are ready, it will not be too late to take action.

Now there are no strong men of the third level of the Holy Realm on the mainland. Even if the path to becoming a god is opened, everyone can only watch! "

After Robert spoke in agreement, a group of powerful men from the Sanctuary who had just broken through spoke up one after another.

Compared with a group of old antiques who have been away for more than three hundred years, these people who have just entered the sanctuary have a much deeper affection for the kingdom.

In the meeting of peak experts, their right to speak is very limited, but it is still okay for someone to join in at the beginning.

Seeing this scene, Alpha I was instantly embarrassed.

He was just trying to win over the strong men outside, but he didn't expect that his juniors would actually jump out to oppose him.

After all, he had been a king. Thinking of the experiences of the kingdom in recent years, he realized that he had been careless.

The Alpha Kingdom's military strength is indeed very strong, but it does not mean that the domestic military and civilians can continue to withstand high-intensity wars.

Just three years of rest and recuperation only allowed the kingdom to breathe a sigh of relief, and all aspects of material reserves were seriously insufficient.

There is indeed a bumper harvest in agriculture, but military training requires the consumption of food. Even for reserve troops, they have to fill their stomachs before they can talk about combat effectiveness.

Whose kingdom is cherished?

If a good situation is ruined, even if you can get back to the position, it won't bring much help.

"Everyone has misunderstood!

The Human Alliance is a whole. As a member of the human race, we must keep pace with the race.

If the Alliance decides to launch a continental war, the Kingdom will certainly not be able to survive alone.

We have called everyone here to meet today, mainly to share our views on the situation and our experiences in cultivation.

…”

A few simple words brought the situation back to normal, and for the first time, Hudson saw Alpha I's adaptability.

The kingdom is not suitable for launching a foreign war immediately, but once a continental war breaks out, no one has the right to refuse to participate.

The poor geographical location destined the Alpha Kingdom to become the main force in the war.

Either beat someone up or get beaten up by someone else. It’s definitely a good idea to prepare in advance.

Of course, this is superfluous.

According to the tradition of the Alpha Kingdom, everyone will prepare for war as long as they have the ability.

The victories in recent years have not only failed to erase this tradition, but have intensified the militancy.

The general environment is such that the aristocratic children who are a little bit ambitious are eager to make achievements on the battlefield.

The meeting ended hastily, everyone went directly to the communication stage, and the scene suddenly became lively.

It's rare to see a strong man from the Saint Realm. It's even rarer if a group of strong men from the Sanctuary Realm gather together to communicate.

Caesar IV and the ministers who had the honor to listen could not see a smile on their faces.

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand!

My own state of mind is not enough, and I have not touched the laws, but I still have to work hard to understand them. It is really torturous.

No matter how painful it was, several people were still listening attentively.

There is always a dream of a sanctuary, what if it comes true one day!

Hudson, who participated in the exchange, felt completely different.

As a new sanctuary, after listening to everyone's exchanges, many confusing places were directly solved.

It can be seen from the smiles on the faces of all the saints that everyone has gained a lot. As a veteran powerhouse, Alpha I has the most to say.

After the exchange meeting began, the atmosphere in the hall quickly became harmonious. Hudson, who originally disliked Alpha I, no longer had any hostility at this moment.

Cultivation is not easy, but with the guidance of these seniors, you can avoid many detours. Although he also gave his own experience, the value was obviously not of the same level.

If it weren't for the fact that the laws of fate are mysterious, everyone would suspect that he was deceiving people. When Hudson spoke, everyone was confused.

Human nature is like this. After benefiting from Alpha I, it directly changed Hudson's view of him.

After all, apart from the issue of seizing the throne, there is no conflict of interest between Hudson and Alpha I in other areas.

Although today's story is meant to win people's hearts, the cultivation experience given by Alpha I is also real, and everyone must understand this.

In addition to the understanding of the laws, some hidden secrets of the mainland are also constantly revealed from the people's mouths.

Everyone chatted endlessly, which was very painful for Caesar IV and others.

The physical fitness of the strong men in the holy realm is strong enough, and it doesn't matter if they stay awake for ten days and a half, but they can't!

After two days of hard work, Caesar IV had to say goodbye and leave.

Several ministers were stronger and persisted longer, but they also failed to make it to the end.

After getting rid of these people, the exchange meeting came to an end. It can be seen from the smiling faces of everyone that these guys did it on purpose.

Different identities lead to different perspectives on problems.

Everyone did not support the restoration of Alpha I, and they were also dissatisfied with Caesar IV's attitude towards their ancestors.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the restoration of King Alpha I was a farce. They were old enough to deliberately make trouble with their juniors, and as long as they talked about it, it would be over.

If you really want power, you can just control it from behind the scenes. Why do you need restoration to make people laugh?

As an insider, Hudson decisively chose to remain silent.

Cognition is difficult to change. If Alpha I's background is really revealed, it will become an undying hatred. Everyone may not believe it yet.

Anyway, it’s not you who is being tortured, so why bother to spoil everyone’s interest!

…

The impact of the fall of the gods was more severe than Hudson expected, and the church was the first to be affected.

The gods are gone, and it’s hard not to have faith collapse.

After the news spread, people gathered in front of churches everywhere, expecting God to give back.

It's a pity that the priests can't release their magic at this time, so they have to rely on the knights and magicians to support the scene, without any feedback from the gods.

Countless fanatics couldn't stand this stimulation and went crazy on the spot. Every day, believers break down and commit suicide, causing chaos everywhere.

The orthodoxy battle in the Holy See has come to an end. The three major Holy Sees fell together, and no one was more holy than the other.

Relatively speaking, the situation of the Northern and Southern Holy Sees is slightly better. After all, it is the state that supports it, and it can stabilize the situation even if chaos occurs.

The old Holy See was in a terrible situation. The group that was united purely by faith also fell apart as the faith collapsed.

Internal conflicts intensified and Pius VII, whose reputation plummeted, could not hold himself back.

The old pope personally intervened, but he could not stop the split in the Holy See.

On the one hand, the intensification of internal conflicts is on the one hand, but also on the other hand, the external environment has put too much pressure on them.

In the past, with gods as spiritual sustenance, no matter how much pressure the outside world put on them, everyone could grit their teeth and persevere.

Everyone still imagined that when the gods came, they would punish the heretics.

As a result, the god did not wait, but instead waited for the news of the god's death. Those with fragile hearts have already collapsed.

Even those who are strong-willed cannot bear the pressure now.

The "Godless Era" means that the mainland has completely entered the world of kings and nobles.

If you want to live a better life, you must integrate into it. The secular reform of the Holy See is imperative.

Different from the papal election system, the gameplay of kings and nobles is more naked and is passed down directly by blood.

As the forces of various countries merged behind the scenes, the major factions of the Holy See, which were full of contradictions, were on the verge of splitting.

Seeing the major factions clamoring for separation, the ascetics of the Holy See felt numb.

It's okay to let them fight, but it would be too difficult to deal with these secular conflicts.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. If you really talk about it, many of the people below are still their direct descendants.

"You can figure it out yourself!"

After saying that, Lord Murphy turned around and left, leaving everyone looking at each other.

The embarrassing situation did not last long, and then several strong men from the Holy Domain turned and left.

“Just make a scene!

There will be times in the future when you will regret it, so don’t come to us then! "

Fabrizio waved his sleeves and once again started a new wave of strong players leaving.

Deep down, everyone knows that the split in the Holy See is inevitable, but everyone still doesn't want to see this scene.

"The seniors are all gone. If you want to leave, you can take your people and leave on your own.

The method of dividing the family is very simple. Whoever controls the territory will get it. If you are not convinced, you can have a fight.

After today, everyone will become a force of their own, and we will be enemies rather than friends when we meet in the future! "

Pius VII said through gritted teeth.

After a series of failures and the return of many strong men in the church, he, the pope, had already lost power.

If all parties hadn't been fighting over the position of the Pope, he would have had nothing to do.

He originally thought that after everyone decided the winner, he would completely retire and practice cultivation, but he never expected that the Holy See would split after this.

The seniors in the teaching were not as responsible as he expected.

After helping the Holy See stabilize the situation, everyone was busy with their own affairs and had no time to mediate internal conflicts.

If it weren't for the need for a scapegoat to take the blame for the split in the Holy See, no one would have informed him of today's meeting.

Knowing that there was no way to save his life, Pius VII was too lazy to struggle.

If you want to separate the family, just do it, no matter how, he doesn't care now.

If conflicts and hidden dangers remain, they will be resolved in accordance with mainland rules. Whoever is stronger is justified.

"Your Majesty, if you say so, then naturally we will have no objection.

But now that the gods have fallen, the Pope should not exist.

Various countries have sent notes, asking Your Majesty to take the title of Emperor and demote him to the rank of Marquis..."

Halfway through his words, Drazen hurriedly shut up when he saw Pius VII's face turning pale.

Although the pope in front of him has a notorious reputation, he is still a strong man in the holy realm. If he angers someone, he is unlikely to do anything drastic.

According to the specifications, even if the Holy See becomes secular, the Pope's target should still be the Emperor.

Even if the Holy See splits and several kingdoms are born, it is still in line with the rules.

To be demoted to a feudal state all of a sudden would be a naked insult.

There is nothing they can do if they are unhappy. They have offended too many people, and no one is willing to give them higher treatment.

Wanting to retain the standards of the kingdom, all major kingdoms on the mainland expressed their opposition. The Alpha Kingdom, the leader of the heretics, even stated that being in the same kingdom as them would be an insult to itself.

He took a step back and tried to preserve the principality's standards, but the Mossi people jumped out to cause trouble again.

"The Holy See after the split is too weak and not worthy of being included in the Principality"!

The reason is very strange, but it is true.

Compared with the Principality of Moxi, the Holy See after the split was indeed a little weaker.

Under normal circumstances, they would ignore the objections from the Mossi people.

It is a pity that all the countries of the human race expressed support. The Frank representative strongly suggested that they be demoted to a princely state, and the Iliban representative also persuaded them.

The positions of each country were very clear, and they directly split into a group of princely states, and everyone recognized them diplomatically.

If you hold on to your airs and refuse to let go, then you are a gangster.

It seems to be just a diplomatic recognition, but in fact it is a legal dispute.

Anyone can conquer an illegal country, and the Human Alliance does not provide security protection.

The Holy See, which clings together for warmth, will be bullied, let alone after the split.

After a series of ideological struggles, the major factions chose to compromise.

Anyway, they all held positions such as bishops and legion commanders, so it was not considered humiliating to compete with the lord of the princely state. The one who was really stimulated was the pope.

"Can!"

Pius VII said cruelly.

The Holy See has been destroyed, and no one cares about the remaining dignity. He can also give up.

As a strong man in the holy realm, he has even more choices.

If it weren't for the consideration of his family, Pius VII could just leave and choose a mountaintop for retreat.

After a few decades, everyone will forget about him and come out, and he can start a new life again.

…

Xueyue collar.

Hudson, who had just returned from the meeting of the kingdom's top experts, received the good news of the split in the Holy See.

"Who planned the split of the Holy See?"

Hudson asked concerned.

In recent days, his focus has been on the fall of the gods, and he has long forgotten about the dilapidated settlement of the Holy See.

“Duke, this operation was initiated by His Majesty Charles III, and the Kingdom also played an important role in it.

After the Papal States was divided into five, they were all downgraded to princely states. This was the work of the Kingdom! "

Tom replied with excitement on his face.

He is fully aware of the grudges between his master and the Holy See.

To put it bluntly, without the contribution of the Holy See, my master might not have his current status.

The initial success of the business was entirely due to the sacrifice of the Holy See cavalry.

Otherwise, based on Hudson's performance in quelling the rebellion, it is still unknown whether he can obtain a knightly fiefdom.

Even the Earth Bear that propelled Hudson to fame was sent by the Holy See.

There will be more grievances in the future.

In short, the relationship between the two parties is almost endless.

As a hostile force, they must kill each other before they can feel at ease.

Now I got my wish!

The Holy See was torn apart, and the original enemy simply ceased to exist.

Even if the major forces after the split want to cause trouble, they have no ability to threaten the Xueyue Territory.

“Charlie III, he did have a reason to take action.

The Royal Government's adaptability is also good this time. It seems that the conservative guys are not as conservative as the rumors say! "

Hudson commented with a smile.

…
