Chapter 127 Northern Holy Empire

In the northern part of the Holy Empire, in the city of Leonard, General Baoken welcomed General Brown, the general of Thor Fortress. As soon as they met, the two gave each other a cordial hug, as if they were familiar with each other. One of them is the northern warlord who holds heavy troops and holds his own troops, and the other is the resourceful commander of the fortress. The two of them are so happy at this moment, not because they repelled the enemy's attack, but because they got a piece of news.

The pillar of the Holy Empire, the old Pope Dovilia passed away on the 27th! This news made the two feudal officials, Baoken and Brown, extremely excited, and their biggest scruples have now disappeared.

The two walked into the highest military headquarters in the north of the Holy Empire one after the other, followed by several relatives. The room is very simple and there is almost no decoration, and the wide glass windows make the whole room look very bright. There is a table in the middle of the room. There are many chairs around the table. There are several water glasses and a container full of water.

General Bao Ken did not talk directly about the key points, but chatted: "Recently, I heard that a weapon specially designed to deal with cavalry has appeared on a large scale, a bit like an ultra-small crossbow gun, called a strong crossbow."

"Yes, a terrible weapon sold by Rome Island, the spokesperson of the Elf Forest, is simply a nightmare for light cavalry." Brown replied.

Bao Ken found that he was really not suitable for going around the circle, so he began to talk directly: "General Brown, do you think the current situation is good or bad for us?" Bao Ken poured a glass of water and handed it to General Brown, poured another glass for himself, took a sip and asked with a smile.

"Of course, it is beneficial. We now have several main forces, including the First Legion of the Holy Empire, and a large number of new recruits. The total strength has exceeded 800,000, and it is still expanding. There are about 500,000 troops defending the White Tiger Army of the Eternal Night Empire, and more than 300,000 troops are deployed near the Meilan River, which can be said to be foolproof. Now that the old pope is dead, the Holy Empire has no power to deal with us. Brown's analysis was very comprehensive, and he also took a sip of water after the analysis.

"So, General Brown, are you interested in the position of commander of the Third Magic Legion? The deputy commander of all my troops." Baoken threw an olive branch.

"With all due respect, the commander-in-chief has not yet had the power to replace the commander-in-chief, nor does he have the power to appoint a deputy." Brown smiled at Bao Ken, squinted and asked, "Does the general want to go further? Fighting for my Brown's support?"

"So if I want to go further, do you support me?" Bao Ken stared at Brown and asked, the atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the room was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.

"Of course, General, I was already your loyal subordinate the moment you arrived at the Thor Fortress in time." Brown said, his face full of loyalty. His statement immediately eased the atmosphere in the room.

Baoken raised the water cup in his hand with a smile on his face, drank the water in the glass, and then said with a smile, "Hahaha, well, Lord Brown, you will be my first military minister, and I will make you prince."

"Then congratulations to Your Majesty in advance. It's a great honor to serve you." Brown responded to Bao Ken's promise with a shallow wrinkle on his face.

With the support of Brown, he cleared all the obstacles in the army of the Northern Holy Empire. Brown controlled all the main forces in the north. He now has the actual control of six provinces and has a well-trained huge army. In terms of strength, he can He is the commander of the most powerful military group in the north.

"Sent someone to contact Emperor Gopez of the Lovik Empire. I want to get the support of the Lovik Empire. At the same time, I will send someone to the Eternal Night Empire to tell them that I will ascend to the throne and make peace with them." Bao Ken ordered. A loyal guard behind him nod and turned away.

"We should launch the banner, saying that the current Pope Arnold killed his father and usurped the papacy. We are faithful servants of His Royal Highness Chris, so we are independent! The name of the country is called the Northern Holy Empire, which means that we are orthodox!" Brown suggested with a smile.

"Good! It's really a good trick, so that we don't have to bear the reputation of a rebel general, Gao, General Brown!" Bao Ken said with a smile.

"Then let's start preparing. There are a lot of things to prepare. At least we have a lot of divine lurkers and clergy loyal to the Holy Empire. We need to eradicate them one by one, don't you think? General Baoken?" General Brown said with a smile.

"Well, yes, we need time to prepare. Come on, call a few legion commanders. I'm going to hold an emergency meeting." Bao Ken gave a loud order.

With the support of General Brown, Baoken quickly eliminated the interior of the army. The commander of the Third Magic Legion loyal to the Holy Empire was killed, and another commander was replaced. On the same day, he began to arrange and use the army to eliminate a series of uncooperative clergy such as religious centers, and killed many people suspected of belonging to divine punishment. These usually superior and even powerful local chief executives of the army were suddenly suppressed by the army. A team of soldiers killed these people's residences and offices, killed these people and relatives, and robbed all their property.

Those who can be administrators are all cunning old foxes in the officialdom, so most of the priests and even the bishops who accompany the army have already expressed their support for Bao Ken's position. This cleanup is mainly aimed at a few loyalists of the Holy Empire, so the impact is not great. After dealing with internal problems, he also got feedback from the other two empires as he wished.

The Lovik Empire wanted to switch to peace in order to quickly resume production and rest, so it agreed to the proposal to support the founding of Baoken almost without thinking. I received a thank-you gift of 200,000 gold coins prepared by Baoken. The two sides signed an equal treaty and opened trade to each other.

Subsequently, the envoys of the Eternal Night Empire also came to Leonard City to express their heartfelt congratulations to the so-called future imperial emperor Baoken. Similarly, the Yongye Empire also received gold coins, signed a non-aggression treaty with the Baoken Group, and symbolically reduced the number of front-line troops of the White Tiger Army on the border.

With the support of two forces on the border, Bao Ken also dealt with the hidden dangers and ascended to the throne he dreamed of being surrounded by General Brown and others.

In 36180, the creation of the gods, on December 14 of 1575, only a month after the death of the old pope, the army stationed in the north of the Holy Empire declared independence, established the Northern Holy Empire, and announced the establishment of friendship with Lovik and the Eternal Night Empire. Good relationship, the Holy Empire announced that it would not recognize it.
