Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 1099 Power Crisis (1)

A group of people sat together and discussed for a while, but couldn't find any clues at all. This was mainly because there was too little information, just a few words, no details at all, how to proceed with future developments. Deduction?Of course, it’s not that Cassano’s intelligence system is too incompetent. It is true that the cold-blooded military control system has been fully implemented in Senate’s ruling area. The villages and towns under his control are under joint security. One person is killed and the whole family is executed. The village will also use tithes to select one out of ten to kill, and if an outsider is found, it will be executed immediately.Under this bloody butcher knife, Cassano was unable to plant any spies in a short time. Many communication channels previously arranged by the imperial capital were also cut off. If it were not for Senat, he would need a large number of caravans to provide his territory with a lot of necessities. , I am afraid that no one has entered or left the area under his control.

Senat’s rule cannot last at all, but it can produce very effective results in a short period of time. The emergence of the Undead Legion has greatly constrained the power of the imperial capital, causing the situation in the mainland to fall into a stalemate. : The Allied Forces of the Holy Alliance did not have absolute certainty to launch a decisive battle against the Undead Legion, and the Undead Army did not desperately expand its size to make the Holy Alliance recklessly launch an attack. When they squatted, Senat was caught in the middle and just got some respite. opportunity.

Compared to the imperial capital being exhausted under the attack of three aspects such as Senat a few years ago, I have to say that everyone's situation has just changed positions. The orcs are running north, the Clay tribe is fleeing west, Senat is only left to breathe. The direction is invincible, this is also the reason why the Undead Army suddenly intervened in the mainland, because once the emperor reunified the mainland, the demigod lich had to wait for hundreds of years to hope that another better opportunity would appear.

Seeing that the discussion had no results, Ryan sighed. He now knows why Reid's emotions are so decadent. It is not only a blow to one's self-confidence, but also caused by feeling sorry for teacher Ibel. Destroy yourself.Naturally, everyone present was very dissatisfied with this ending, but no one had a better solution, so the whole chamber fell into silence.

Suddenly, Sophie's voice broke the silence: "Master Lane, let me go to Seck City. With my strength, maybe I can stand there! If I can collect important information, I will definitely be in... "

"No need!" Ryan simply rejected Sophie's proposal, and used a very bad reason: "The Imperial Capital will send people to do these things. We don't need to waste our energy on this."

"But..." Sophie was about to argue a few words, but she saw Freya make a gesture towards her, so Sophie closed her mouth and fell silent.And Freya slowly began to speak: "Regarding the collection of intelligence on the enemy side, I think the Imperial Capital will do a better job than us, so let's just do what Ryan said! But now Senat and the Church of Light Ferdinand colluded together, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome!"

"Trouble?" Ryan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but thought that Freya had inherited the memory of the elven queens of the past and was enough to be her own teacher in this respect, so he humbly asked for advice: "What impact does it have on the current situation? What should we do? How to do it?"

"I have to say that Senat is a hero!" Freya started with this sentence and began to state her point of view: "Victor hates nobles, Orlando is limited by his own beliefs, Falasi's weakness is you , And your weakness is everyone around you! But Senat doesn't. In order to achieve his own goals, he can sell everything, including his soul!"

"Such a character may not be the supreme ruler of this continent in the history of mankind, but he will definitely be a powerful ruler, standing at the pinnacle of power and overlooking everything, trying to make everything in front of him change with his will. I don't know that even the supreme gods can't do this at all, because gods also have to obey the rules of a plane, at least they won't let their true bodies come here."

"So far, Senat’s weakness is his identity. In any case, he was once a member of the Holy Alliance Empire. After he turned away from this empire, he also shouldered the title of rebel. This is for the ambitious. Senat is very unfavorable, but there is no way to change it for a while."

"Now Senat has begun to publicly support Ferdinand of the Church of Illumination. If my guess is correct, he probably hopes to split the Church of Illumination, one of the strong cornerstones of the Holy Alliance Empire. If the Church of Illumination is split, the strength of the empire Will be greatly weakened, which is also very good news for the Legion of Undead. If this plan can be successful, Senat will fully support the part of the Bright Church that favors him, and at the same time try his best to suppress Lean towards that part of the imperial capital."

"But, Freya, why does Senat attract those cardinals? He is at an absolute disadvantage now, and there is the undead legion behind him. I can't think of anything that can attract those gods. The believers fell to the side of Senat, who tends to be the army of the dead!" Ryan said.

"Yeah, maybe this is the reason Reid is so decadent, because he has probably already guessed Senat's means, but he just can't change all of this!" Freya sighed and slowly said the answer: " Don’t forget, a long time ago, well, to be precise, before the Third Reich of Alexandria, the highest authority on the continent was not a certain noble monarch, but the Pope of the Church of Light! But when Andrew used force to force After unifying most of the continent, the power of the Church of Illumination began to slowly weaken, and the last Pope Franz II was escorted by Andrew’s force from the Holy See to the coronation ceremony of King Alexander, and brought him personally. The bauhinia crown symbolizing power!"

"Ah!" Ryan had never heard of this history. He didn't expect his senior Andrew to have such a majestic side, which inevitably made him miss the time when he met Andrew's soul in the grave.

"The coronation ceremony of Alexander also led to the decline of theocratic power on this plane. After the death of the last Pope Franz II, under Andrew’s instruction, a suitable successor was not selected, and he could only temporarily use the name of the archbishop. The position of acting is also the origin of the position of the archbishop."

"Therefore, in the fall of the Third Reich of Alexandria, I am afraid that there may not be only the undead army. Maybe the Bright Church also prayed to help it? Otherwise, how could Nicholas the Great Lich have not been reversed into a human being? Appearing by Andrew's side and becoming his chief magician? Not to mention Catherine's transformation and the sudden severance of Andrew's bloodline!"

Freya finished this in one breath and found that everyone except Ryan was completely stunned. This old secret is probably completely cut off in the human world, but Fu has the memory of the elf queen of the past. Leah still knows very well, and Ryan already knows a lot about Andrew and Catherine's past, so such news is not very sudden to him, and through Freya's description, Ryan suddenly guessed Senat. The best way to win the Church of Light.

"Re-establishing the Pope?" Ryan slowly spit out these four words, and at the same time awakened the others in the room.

"Yes, compared with the honor of Restoring the Church of Illumination in the most prosperous period of this continent, a rebel leader in a mere trivial figure, and even the figure of the undead army that has been faintly revealed behind him, is nothing at all, and even these clergymen still I would comfort myself in this way. After cooperating with these heretics and re-establishing the pope, the Church of Illumination can have more powerful power, and it can also deal with the undead army in turn, right?"

After listening to Freya's words, Ryan tilted his head for a moment, and suddenly added: "In fact, neither Senat nor the Legion of Undead can personally support a force that they cannot control. So I think this new pope must only It can be a puppet, but it can be extremely confusing. As you said earlier, Freya, the coronation of previous kings can only be officially recognized with the approval of the church. Now Senat is coronating himself with the pope. In a sense, he is no longer a rebel leader, but an empire king who can sit on an equal footing with the Holy Alliance empire!"

"Yes, Reid must already know this, but he just can't do anything now, because he knows how attractive the position of the pope is to the cardinals, and the imperial capital will never agree to such a request. "Fuliya became the protagonist of the chamber tonight, she pointed out sharply: "The Bright Church, which has already cracked internally, coupled with the huge external temptation of benefits, except for a few that can really see everything. People, I’m afraid that most members of the Illuminati Church will fall to Senat’s side,"

"Ryan, this can be called the juncture of the life and death of the Bright Church. However, at this time, Reid has no way to prove the legitimacy of his power. The only thing he can do is to be a bystander! Ibel’s legacy, the archbishop who wanted to revitalize the Church of Illumination, suddenly found that everything he had no longer existed. Even his last bit of spiritual sustenance, inherited from his teacher, the archbishop identity, is likely to be lost. As a result, it became nothing. This'power crisis' is probably the biggest reason Reid is now decadent."
