Lord Harland

Historically, the countries in the eastern part of the Dawn Continent were all princes canonized by the Holy Glory Empire. For example, the ancestor of the Delong Kingdom was a Duke of the Holy Glory Empire. The ancestors of the Sith Kingdom can be traced back to the princes of the Holy Radiant Empire. Because of this factor, the Sith Kingdom was able to find enough relationships with the Holy Radiance Empire to reach some cooperation and become the hegemon on the eastern coast of the Central Continent.

Although other countries do not have such a close relationship with the Holy Glory Empire, they have also been recognized and canonized by the Holy Glory.

Because the Holy Empire of Glory is the overlord of the Dawn Plane, it has brought shelter to humans in the Dawn Plane. Similar to the Emperor Zhou in Richard's previous life, he was the co-lord of the human kingdom in the Dawn Plane.

The Dawn Plane is a super-demon plane, and there are gods resident inside. Therefore, if you want to establish a kingdom, you need the protection of the gods. Only when it is recognized by the Church of the Seven Gods and the Co-Master of Humanity can the royal bloodline be respected by the nobles. In the upper echelons, The circle is based on.

Richard naturally has plans for the development of Harland's leadership. He knows very well that after developing to this point, the Harland family must take this step.

Now Haaland is getting stronger and stronger, surpassing even the Grant royal family.

King Roger has also become cautious in handling the relationship with Richard, weighing the left and right. Now the Grant Kingdom has almost two power centers, and there is a very high risk of conflict due to the internal division of power.

It's just that both Richard and Roger are qualified nobles and excellent rulers who can clearly distinguish the pros and cons and are not swayed by emotions.

But their successors may not be so sober. When meeting a king like Charles, the relationship between the two families will inevitably have twists and turns. If they continue to get together, they will even suffer losses and suffer from each other.

In recent years, both King Roger and Richard have considered this issue.

The Harland family broke away from the Grant Kingdom, and it was almost inevitable for Richard to take the crown.

It's just that both Richard and King Roger want to go step by step. First, defeat the three countries of Ryan, Delong, and the East Coast to create a good external environment. Then King Roger will support Richard in participating in the race and plane war. After meritorious service, Take the crown and the two families break up peacefully.

This time plan may take about 20 to 30 years.

Unexpectedly, before the Kingdom of Richard and Roger were ready, the special envoy of the Holy Radiance Empire had already arrived in the Harland Territory, bringing Emperor Edward's request.

Rosen carries the will of the Holy Radiant Empire behind him. Even if the Harland leader is not ready yet, Richard can only agree to Rosen's request. Although Lord Harland is still slightly unprepared to participate in the war between planes and races.

If they disobey the will of the Holy Glorious Empire, a conflict with this huge force is likely to break out. Whether it is the Harland Territory or the Grant Kingdom, it is somewhat difficult to stand against the most powerful forces in the Dawn Plane.

After all, the Holy Empire of Glory is the most powerful force in the Dawn Plane. As long as it allocates one-tenth of its power, uses several legendary professionals, and an army of 350,000 to 50,000 full-time professionals to support the Three Kingdoms of Lane, King Richard and Roger can easily It’s hard to withstand it.

Moreover, the Holy Glorious Empire is still the common master of mankind. In the name of righteousness, once the decree is passed, not only can it call on the eastern countries to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Grant, but even the nobles under King Richard and Roger may not be reliable. . The Harland and Grant families alone are no match for the Holy Radiance Empire.

After comprehensive consideration, Richard could only agree to the request of the Holy Glory Empire.

In fact, Richard has been fighting in the northern Xinjiang region for many years and has been involved in ethnic wars.

The total number of orc armies that the Harland family has annihilated has exceeded 300,000 people. Among them, about 30,000 of the elite orc professional troops were wiped out by Richard.

In the war that lasted for more than twenty years, William assisted the commander of the Martins Army in killing the legendary wild boar Ram Kesu. With the help of everyone, Richard also killed the legendary dragon-veined kobold Kiram.

In the battle a few years ago, Harland Leader also used a star bomb to injure the legendary third-level lion-man Melonra, and the legendary Jackal also died at the hands of Harland Leader.

After all, the achievements the Harland family has made for the human race are enough to wear the crown.

If the Holy Glorious Empire is willing, it can directly give Richard a royal title, let him wear the crown, and the Harland family will become a royal family.

But the Holy Glory Empire will not be so advantageous to the Harland family. Richard and William are not great nobles from the Holy Glory Empire, and of course they will not enjoy the same preferential treatment as their own people.

People like them who come from the grassroots need to make more efforts every step forward in order to catch up with those with noble status. If you want to wear the crown, you must agree to the requirements of the Holy Radiant Empire and serve the interests of the Holy Radiant Empire.

After hearing Special Envoy Rosen's test, Richard asked directly: "Which battle is the respected Emperor Saint Sith going to let me participate in? Should I send troops to fight against the orcs and undead, or should I enter an alien plane and fight for the Holy Glorious Empire?" Serve?"

"The great Emperor Saint Sith hopes that the Duke will act on his own to help the Dawn Plane block outside prying eyes. The Empire and the Dawn Church have jointly mastered a plane passage that is connected to a high demon plane. The indigenous gods in the plane have already He was corrupted by the Undead Lord and became an accomplice of the Undead Lord.

Although the God of the Red Moon was sealed by the Goddess of Dawn for three thousand years, the seal began to loosen five hundred years ago, and our power to suppress the Red Moon Plane is gradually insufficient. Now the Church of Dawn, Church of Glory and the Empire have joined forces and only occupy a quarter of the territory of the Red Moon Plane.

In recent years, there have been more and more challengers to the empire, and its power has gradually become unable to make ends meet. In this dimension, Emperor Saint Sith was ready to give up and retreat. But this is a high demonic plane with gods, and the empire cannot withdraw irresponsibly. Therefore, the great Emperor Saint Sith decided that Lord Harland should fill this gap instead of the Holy Radiant Empire. "

After hearing Rosen's request, Richard knew that it would be difficult to refuse the Holy Glory Empire's request.

Because this task inherently represents great justice, once Richard refuses, it is almost equivalent to severing himself from the noble class and unwilling to fight for the fate of the human race in the Dawn Plane.

At that time, the Holy Glory Empire can order the nobles of several nearby countries to attack the Harland family with a single handwriting. I am afraid that even the nobles of the Grant Kingdom will not be reliable.

Richard didn't think about it for too long and agreed to Rosen's request.

After agreeing to Rosen's request, Richard went directly to the princess's mausoleum.

Since the discovery of the princess's tomb, the Church of the Dawn has dispatched the legendary second-level magician Archbishop Senna to personally guard the place to guard the seal of the princess's tomb and prevent the remnant soul of the undead king from escaping.

The Princess Tomb is also a large magic well that produces a large amount of magic plants, especially moon grass, which is rare in the outside world. The quantity in the Princess Tomb is very sufficient.

Over the years, the Harland Territory and the Church of the Dawn have increased the number of moon grasses in the princess's tomb from one to five. The Harland Territory basically uses the moon grass as an auxiliary material to refine the Styx potion. The Church of Dawn has a deeper foundation. In addition to refining Styx potions, it also refines magic fusion potions, moon elf potions, etc.

The two families control the princess's mausoleum and can bring a large amount of extraordinary materials every year. Moreover, Archbishop Senna can also discuss magic with Princess Offland and learn many ancient secrets and mysterious spells.

After arriving at the princess mausoleum, Richard found Archbishop Senna and took the initiative to ask for information about the red moon plane.

After listening to Richard's detailed account, Senna nodded slightly. He and Richard can be regarded as old comrades who have participated in battles together. They have been together for more than twenty years and have a very good relationship.

After listening to Richard's explanation of his purpose, Senna clearly explained the information he had.

"The red moon plane has local gods. Although it is not as powerful as the dawn plane, it is still a high-demon plane. However, the goddess of the red moon was first eroded by the undead king and then sealed by the goddess of dawn. Now she can no longer intervene in secular battles.

This plane is now relatively chaotic, with more than a quarter of the territory reduced to the land of the dead, and the remaining half falling into the hands of the natives of the Red Moon Plane. The natives of the Red Moon Plane have now colluded with the undead, and the Red Moon Church has become a lackey of the undead forces. The most troublesome thing is that the undead king is still infiltrating into this plane.

In addition, a small number of demons have appeared in the red moon plane, and the power of the abyss is also penetrating into the red moon plane. For this reason, the power of the God of Glory is preparing to reduce the power of the Red Moon Plane and gradually withdraw from this plane. "

Richard has traveled to the Dawn Plane for more than thirty years, and has already figured out some of the top information on the Dawn Plane, especially the information about the Seven Gods, and has made many secret guesses.

Among the seven gods in the Dawn Plane, the God of Glory is a multiverse god with powerful divine power. Although his combat power in the Dawn Plane may not be the most powerful, the secular power he controls must be the strongest among the seven gods. .

Now even the God of Glory wants to gradually withdraw from the Red Moon Plane. The situation in the Red Moon Plane must be very difficult.

"The God of Glory is starting to back off. What is the Church of Dawn going to do?"

Sena smiled bitterly and said: "We can't evacuate yet. The most important artifact of the Dawn Goddess, the Holy Grail of Dawn, is still in the red moon plane. This artifact is used to seal the Red Moon Goddess and cannot be moved. Once we evacuate, this artifact will The artifact will inevitably fall into the hands of the undead and demons. With the help of this natal artifact, both the undead king and the demon king can cast a curse on the goddess of the morning. We must persist until the goddess wakes up and try to maintain the situation in the red moon plane. live."

"In this case, I must agree to the request of Emperor Edward God."

After getting the information about the Red Moon Plane from Senna, Richard quickly made a decision and agreed to the Holy Radiance Empire's request.

Although the Goddess of Dawn comes from an alien plane, she has gained the favor of the World Tree of the Dawn plane. She can be said to be the destined child of the Dawn plane.

Within the plane of dawn, her fighting power is extremely powerful. Powerful gods such as the God of Glory and the God of Fairness and Justice are no match for the Goddess of Dawn.

The church founded by the Dawn Goddess is not weak in the Dawn Plane. Although the Dawn Goddess fell asleep very early, the church has developed very well. After three thousand years of operation, it not only has complete missionary rights in the Holy Glory Empire, but also has two parishes. . In addition, among the countries in the eastern part of the Central Continent, there are also three kingdoms and two principalities that mainly believe in the Goddess of the Dawn, with about 200 million believers.

The Church of Dawn has three major institutions: the Cardinal Council, the Inquisition, and the Church Property Office. It is divided into seven dioceses and consists of a religious knighthood of 60,000 people. This knighthood is an army of all-time professionals, and its combat effectiveness is better than that of Harland's Warcraft. The cavalry was even better. The Church of Dawn not only has a powerful military force, but also has a total of sixteen legendary professionals, including three legendary priests, two legendary mages, five legendary knights, and six legendary warriors, ranking third among the Seven Gods Church. position, second only to the Church of Glory and the Church of Royal Power.

Any one of the Seven Churches has more power than the Eastern Kingdom.

Normally, the Church of the Seven Gods is closely related to the secular kingdom.

In major wars in human countries, church forces are generally deeply involved, usually providing pastoral and therapeutic services. In extreme cases, religious armies may even be deployed to help fight.

Although the secular kingdom will not openly interfere with the mission of the Seven Gods. But there will also be some religions that they really support, and they will covertly suppress heretics in their policies.

For example, in the Duchy of Harland, although Richard has designated the Church of Dawn as the official religion and pays tithes to the Church of Dawn, he will not restrict the other six major churches from entering Harland to preach. However, during the implementation process, the official policy will be tilted in favor of the Dawn Church, and only clergy of the Dawn Church will be invited to various official celebrations.

The six major churches have been in the Harland Territory for more than ten years, and their combined number of believers is only about a few hundred thousand, while the total number of believers in the Dawn Church has exceeded tens of millions. The development speed of both parties is simply impossible to synchronize.

Although the rise and fall of the Church of the Seven Gods is closely related to the replacement of human secular kingship, after entering the age of kingship, the Church of the Seven Gods only controls the general direction and will not invest too much power into the secular world to avoid the outbreak of religious wars.

After all, the situation in the Dawn Plane is not good now. The Seven Gods have not recovered and will not easily provoke religious wars or serious internal strife.

When war broke out between the Grant Kingdom and neighboring countries, the reason why it was not suppressed by church forces was that the Morningside Church and the Royal Church were relatively strong, which was also a key factor.

With the development of the Harland family, the number of followers of the Dawn Church has increased by several million. Once Richard wears the crown, the Church of Dawn must also adjust its structure. The seven major dioceses will increase to eight, establishing independence between the Kingdom and the Grand Duchy. The parish has been established as a custom in the Seven Gods Church.

The coordinates of the Red Moon Plane Passage are located in the eastern part of the Palame Kingdom, about three hundred kilometers away from the coastal area.

The Kingdom of Palame is also the headquarters of the Church of the Dawn. The Kingdom of Stark, the Grand Duchy of Caroline, and the Grand Duchy of Vatura near the Kingdom of Palame are all countries that believe in the Goddess of the Dawn. The power of the Dawn Goddess is mainly distributed in the southeastern part of the Mid-Continent.
