Throne of the North

Sera Kingdom.

The holy light of the morning sun descended from the sky, cutting straight through the sky and penetrating the sea of ​​clouds, like a huge pillar of light connecting the sky and the earth, from sunrise to sunset, and the dark night was still bright.

Thousands of fanatical believers knelt on the ground, kissing the land in front of them devoutly, where the glory was sprinkled, and more and more people were becoming one of them.

"Praise the morning sun!"

Archbishop Adriana, wearing a robe, stood in the center of thousands of people, closing her eyes to bear the brilliant light. She couldn't open her eyes, couldn't look directly at the great light of the sun.

It was unknown how long it had passed. The sun was setting in the west, and Adriana finally opened her eyes. She looked around, and no one looked at her. In the Sera Kingdom, Archbishop Adriana's reputation in the morning sun was infinitely close to that of the Pope.

"The Lord said that the darkness outside the light should be burned with fire."

This was a miracle, so thousands of people touched their heads to the ground again, whispering Adriana's words fanatically.

In the distance, Roland and Count Fragoso were watching the splendor of the city in the carriage. They could not speak, because any sound would be heard by these fanatical believers. At this moment, they were no longer the subjects of the nobility, but the believers who had given their lives and everything to the Dawn.

"It's been three days. The miracle of the Dawn will not last more than three days. This is a respect for Lady Moon. Let's go."

The carriage slowly left until the sky behind was no longer bright. Roland spoke:

"Lian wrote a letter to my father. The belief in the Dawn is too prosperous, which is not a good thing for the people."

Count Fragoso shook his head. He did not agree very much, so he said:

"The Empire has proposed to His Majesty the King several times to build the Church of Light in the Kingdom of Serra. Baron Ryan's words may mean that Light and Dawn will confront each other in the Kingdom of Serra, but if so, we will suffer heavy losses."

Roland did not speak, looking at the darkness outside the window.

He didn't finish. Even his father didn't dare to keep Ryan's letter. The power of wind magic would annihilate it. Only the great existence at the end of the wind element could be traced back from magic.

Because it not only mentioned the Dawn Church, but also the light.

As for why Ryan gave the past of the Kingdom of Sera, King McReynolds said this because Ryan wanted to send troops into the Kingdom of Sera.

The purpose also showed that it was to prevent these fanatics from attacking the nobles of the North Wind Province, or more precisely, to avoid the safety risks of these fanatics to Baron Ryan himself.

His father agreed to Ryan's proposal because Ryan also had the status of a great noble in the Kingdom of Sera, and he had reasonable power in this land.

Also because the friction between the Kingdom of Sera and the Kingdom of Andara was intensifying, the Kingdom of Sera also needed support.

Compared with the level of national strength, the newly born Kingdom of Sera lacked everything and had the worst foundation among the nine kingdoms.

Behind him, the city of dawn was still bright. Thousands of believers walked on the road and went home to sleep. They needed to pray devoutly at the moment of dawn tomorrow to strengthen their faith and even involute each other.

Fanatic believers were not crazy, and were even terribly calm. Extreme faith brought extreme thinking. The gods dropped an oracle. How should they complete the task given to them by the great Lord of Dawn?

"Where? Is it the darkness beyond the light?"

The next day, a large number of people gathered inside and outside the church, and they asked the honorable archbishop.

"The Lord can see every inch of land in the world, but the Lord will not take the initiative to look at this world."

"So, faith became His eyes, our faith, He gave us vision, and the land covered by faith is where the Lord's eyes are."

"Where faith does not exist is the darkness that the Lord cannot illuminate."

The archbishop meant that the light of dawn could not illuminate many places in the south, the most important of which was the empire.

"The Empire has abandoned the Dawn. Although they have welcomed the light, the Emperor of the Empire is using the Lord's light to perfect his ambitions and desires. His faith is not pious."

"Whether it is the Dawn or the light, it is the will of the Lord. Mortals understand it, but the faith of the light of the Flor Empire has been deceived and blinded. We need to dispel the darkness in the light and make the Lord's light pure again."

"Then Archbishop? What should we do?"

Someone asked, and Adriana held a flame in her hand.

"Only purification can dispel the impurity in the Lord's light."

"Purify them!"

"Purify them!!!"

The fanatics roared, and the whole person was strangely excited and passionate.

One by one, the clergy came out and took the fanatics away. Their failure in the Andara Kingdom was an insult to the Dawn. They urgently needed to wash away this shame and get rid of their negative influence on the Dawn.

If they don't solve this matter, they will never be able to make further progress in the promotion within the Church.

However, not all clergy were so angry, and some of them stared at Adriana with resentment.

"Bishop Nelson, it seems that you can't obtain the status of Dawn Agent of the Sera Kingdom."

Next to a gray-haired old man, the missionary said calmly, there was no sense of schadenfreude, because they were on the same rope.

Bishop Nelson was once the archbishop of the Kingdom of Andara, with a status second only to Pastor Soto. With the failure of the Holy See in the Kingdom of Andara, Bishop Nelson also successfully became a Dawn believer trafficked by Ryan. Not to mention his declining status, he also held the Ninety percent of the power was taken back.

In the current branch of the Holy See of Dawn in the Kingdom of Serra, Bishop Nelson has also been marginalized because of his past. The clergy within the Holy Mountain and on this land because of the birth of the kingdom are constantly robbing him of the power that should belong to him.

Not only that, when Adriana arrived, Bishop Nelson saw that the woman didn't do anything at first and thought she was easy to deal with. But gradually he discovered that Adriana's status in the hearts of believers was beyond his control. replace.

He was unwilling to give in and tried to control the Dawn branch of the Serra Kingdom, but now he was about to lose everything.

What does the power within the Holy See... represent? Representing unimaginable wealth and unimaginable right to speak, Adriana's words, 99%, are as majestic as a king in the Kingdom of Sera. As for the last one percent, that is to treat Sera. When pulling the king of the kingdom, equal humility is needed.

Humility rather than humility, so this one percent can be ignored.

"We cannot sit idly by."

Bishop Nelson gritted his teeth and said that he had lost too much. If he did not take it back, his heirs would not be able to get the chance to inherit his position. One step at a time, one step at a time, his lineage would be oppressed to the bottom of the Holy Mountain sooner or later. go.

Nelson never doubted that his enemies would fight with all their strength. He changed from archbishop to bishop because of those guys. They were responsible for the defeat of the Kingdom of Andara and even the loss of the Yulong Legion. on these people.

Pastor Soto is dead, no one will say anything about a dead man, the living people will be responsible for it.

They are the living people.

"But we can't shake Adriana. She is a believer blessed by the Lord, and even the Pope can't punish her."

Everyone acts within the rules, but there are some people who are not allowed to abide by the rules because they have greater power.

Just like Bishop Nelson, he had to accept the punishment of the Holy See. He changed from an archbishop of a powerful kingdom to an ordinary bishop, and if he wanted to restore his status, he had to rely on the internal rules of the Holy See.

But Adrianna doesn't need it. The blessing of the Lord of the Dawn and her easily unparalleled status in the hearts of believers can allow Adrianna to ignore most of the rules of the Holy See.

She was too close to the Lord of the Dawn, so she was dazzling in the eyes of others. These clergy of the Kingdom of Sera did not dare to confront her, and could not even refute the other party's orders.

Her words are oracles.

Even Bishop Nelson did not dare to think of ways to criticize Adriana, let alone him. He believed that the cardinal archbishops were already considering whether to make room for this woman after their death.

He didn't dare to provide for Adrienne, but that didn't mean he couldn't take advantage of those believers.

"I heard that King Serra agreed two days ago to allow the Empire's Baron Lane army to station his manor in the Serra Kingdom."

This is the Unicorn Fortress, and Ryan's manor is not far away.

"How could the Kingdom of Serra allow those damn imperial nobles to enter this land of dawn and bring turbid faith into the kingdom?"

"And the believers of Dawn will never allow the enemy to appear."

"They have seen the evil baron, and for the glory of the morning they will listen to us."

Bishop Nelson said this, he will not attack Adriana, but he can use the believers of the Dawn. After all, he is still a bishop, with an identity in the Dawn, and is closer to the great Dawn than the monks and nuns.

…

On Beifeng Avenue, the armored bear's palm left a clear mark on the ground.

There is a lot more dust on Beifeng Avenue in winter. During this period, the Chamber of Commerce has also reduced the number of trips to and from the Empire and the Kingdom. Of course, another reason is that the Chamber of Commerce is a dog with a sensitive nose, and they can also smell the Empire. A new round of disputes with the Holy See may cause their chamber of commerce to suffer heavy losses on the road, so they might as well reduce the frequency of transactions.

The armored bears were not afraid of the cold. After gradually entering the Griffin Mountains, they looked happily at the surrounding mountains and forests, where there were wild beasts that looked at them unkindly.

"How long does it take to arrive?"

On the back of the armored bear, Bogard shouted to Appia, who was riding a war horse next to him. Appia thought for a while and said:

"There are still two days left. We need to go to Count Fragoso's territory first, and then arrive at the manor outside the Unicorn Fortress."

"Followers of the Holy See may attack us."

"They'd better come. If they don't come, I'm going to find them."

A team of five hundred people, including fifty armored bears, entered the Kingdom of Serra, left the Griffin Mountains, and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Serra.

"At the suggestion of Lord Baron, the Serra Kingdom is building the North Wind Avenue within the kingdom, but the name is Serra Avenue. It will directly connect the North Wind Province and the Unicorn Fortress. In a year or two, the empire's chamber of commerce will enter the fortress. If you pull the kingdom, it will be much faster.”

"The army will be a lot faster too."

Bogelde nudged her lips and said, Ryan had told her about this, building roads is for economy and convenience, and also for preparing for war.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar first published this novel.

The benefits of road construction are not only felt by nobles and chambers of commerce, but also by civilians and slaves. For example, on this semi-finished road, many people walked on the edge with tools. They did not have to cross the wasteland and avoided the threat of insects and snakes.

After all, this place is still close to the Griffin Mountains, and there are many insects.

The flags of Rhino Horn Mountain fluttered in the cold wind. As they continued to move forward, the people of this team gradually found that the eyes of those around them looking at them became bolder.

There was vigilance, fear, and faint hostility in their eyes.

The Dawn Church entered the Kingdom of Serra. This was the choice of King McReynolds. In the land of the south, his newly built kingdom must rely on the help of the Church or the Empire to quickly gain recognition from the southern world and consolidate its position.

If you choose the Church, you must give it a lot of things, such as the emergence of the Dawn Church. In their spare time, people will appear in the Church, because they will distribute eggs and bread there.

Gradually, ordinary people are inevitably influenced by the Dawn missionaries.

The pastor said (the priest said), that flag is our enemy, it must be right.

It was better in the north, many people here were once in the army commanded by Ryan, but in the south, after passing the plain full of fertile fields where the Unicorn Fortress is located, the hostility towards Ryan is even greater.

Because Ryan has never brought them any benefits, but in the war, many people lost their relatives, and the nobles here were once Ryan's enemies, and they would not whitewash him.

"They seem to hate us very much."

"I hope they will know better and attack us quickly."

Bogeld said dissatisfiedly, she would not take action against these ordinary people who had no resistance, but if the other party became a warrior, then Bogeld would be the ruthless legion commander on the battlefield.

Ryan asked her to come to the Kingdom of Sera and told her that there would definitely be a war here. She came here excitedly. It was too quiet along the way, and there was no fun.

From a distance, the Unicorn Fortress has already taken shape. Here, not only are there more ordinary people, but these people, more or less, have the symbols of the Dawn Church on their bodies. They are devout monks and believers of the Church.

So soon after being discovered, Bogeld found that the number of people around him began to decrease, until a certain moment there was no one around.

"Be alert!"

She shouted, and on both sides of the road, believers of the Church had rushed out, led by a dozen Holy Light Knights, and launched an attack on the team.

The team of 500 people, including the armored bear warriors, only had 150 people, while the Dawn believers who rushed out were 500 to 600.

"For the glory of the Lord!"

The clergy did not say anything about revenge. The great Lord of the Dawn would never fail. Everything they did was for the glory of the Dawn.

"For the glory of the Lord!"

The believers waved their weapons enthusiastically, which excited Bogdard. He rushed out directly, and the heavy sword was aimed at the knight. In an instant, the other party's face changed. The originally enthusiastic expression became numb, and his whole body was numb.

When he reacted, the holy light on his body flashed, but it was too late to dispel all the unfavorable buffs. The claws of the armored bear fell and directly smashed the bones of the knight.

"You are really too weak!"

Bogdard shouted loudly, and the long sword killed another holy light knight. The army surrounded by hundreds of people surrounded the city in a circle. There was an armored bear warrior among several soldiers. No matter how these believers charged, they could not defeat the formation of these elite soldiers.

But the horrifying thing is that no matter how many people died, these fanatical believers did not give up the desire and means to attack. In the charge launched by five or six hundred people against one hundred and fifty soldiers, only the armored bear warriors could fully resist. The remaining one hundred soldiers did not wear heavy armor, which was too heavy for these soldiers who were not knights.

The leather armor on their bodies was not enough for complete defense.

Some people began to get injured, and the believers' attacks became more and more crazy.

The enemy's fearless desire to fight finally made Bogerd's eyes cold, and he rushed into the believers' army with Volibear, killing these Dawn believers crazily.

In the distance, a large number of troops began to appear.

"Stop your fight! This is the earldom!"

The leading knight shouted loudly, but the two sides on the battlefield seemed not to hear it, roaring and killing each other.

"Stop!"

The knight was extremely angry, and his words had no effect on these people, so he asked the soldiers behind him to take out their weapons.

"Stop your war, this is the territory of Count Fragoso, no one can destroy the Count's land!"

No one paid any attention to him, the knight rushed over directly, in front of him were several believers, kicked him to the ground, but these believers were struggling frantically, ignoring the knight's power, and wanted to attack the people of the frozen land under the call of the morning light.

"Without the Count's permission, no one can fight a war on this land."

The long sword fell on the believer's neck, and finally made the believer quiet down. He stared at the knight, as if he was looking at the murderer of his father.

"Knight, take back your weapon, they are believers of the Dawn."

"This is the territory of the nobles."

The knights of the Holy See and the knights of Count Fragoso confronted each other. The former felt extremely troubled. The Holy See was no longer the Holy See of more than a hundred years ago, and it could do whatever it wanted on the land of the nobles.

The latter was also scalp tingling. The belief in the Dawn was strong in the Kingdom of Serra, especially during this period. The nobles did not want to offend, but Count Fragoso's territory was far away from the hundreds of thousands of pure believers of the Holy See brought from the Kingdom of Andara.

Those people were not the subjects of any nobles, and they were not even the subjects of the king.

The king and the pope, only the pope had the right to rule over them.

"Maybe you should ask them to lay down their weapons."

The knights of the Church gave the knights of the Fragoso family a choice. The latter did not want to go against the Church. When they rushed to the other side of the war, they were suddenly pressed against the neck by a slender sword and dared not move.

Cold sweat flowed down his cheeks. Appia, wearing a hood, looked at the knight. His voice was not loud, but clear.

"This is the army of the frozen land. You are not qualified to start a war between Ryan and Fragoso, Mr. Knight."

Appia passed the knight in front of him and his voice became louder, falling into the ears of the clergy of the Church.

"If you don't retreat on this road, you will die!"

"Either you-"

"Or us!"

The last sentence was Bogerd's roar on the battlefield. The long sword tore open the chests of several believers. The gushing blood made the armored bear's hair blood red. She stood on the corpses and continued to attack.
