Zero no ambassador: my harem

Hao Tian chanted and didn't immediately agree. Coming from Earth, he maintained a respectful attitude towards the church and faith within. But the situation in this side of the world, there was always room for the church to grow and sprawl.

"Alright, Torristine will support you in rebuilding the church."

Julio's face just showed joy.

"However, the doctrine will include the Heir of the Void. The Heir of Nothingness is both the Heir of the Patriarchs."

Hao Tian's gaze was sharp as he stared at Julio.

Julio's color shifted ugly for a while, and he finally let out his breath.

"All right, I promise you."

As an object of worship for the Church, the Beginning Ancestor had a lofty status. The successor of the Beginning Ancestor would correspondingly have a higher status than the Pope, which was no different than a yoke on the neck for Julio who wanted to rebuild the Church.

With Hao Tian's permission, the priests of Torristine were "invited" to the royal capital, and after receiving Julio's propaganda, they were escorted by the Torristine army to start propagating the doctrine in Torristine's domestic places.

Julio's identity to the outside world was that of a demon appointed by the previous Pope as the successor to the previous Pope and one of the heirs of the Patriarchs. Louise's status as the Successor of the Patriarchs was also publicized and gathered a great deal of popularity.

With Torristine's strong support, it seemed that the Church of the Patriarchs was about to make a comeback.

As Torristine negotiated with other nations to send missionary teams into their territories, opposition was heard in Goliath. King Joseph of Goliath supported Archbishop Goliath as the new Pope of the Church of the Patriarchs, alleging that Julio was a mere servant and not a successor to the Pope at all, and that when the Pope had no successor, it was only right that the Archbishop of the largest country should succeed him. In addition, Goliath endorsed and promoted the notion that the heir of the Void was both the heir of the Patriarch and illuminated the identity of Josephus as the heir of the Void. This made Joseph's position even more exalted in Goliath's territory and almost centralized the royal and divine power in one place, and the people obeyed Joseph's words without fail.

Kelmania has never believed in the Patriarchs, and has believed in the Fire Elves for 300 years. However, after the Elves of Fire Incident 4 years ago, the belief in the Elves of Fire was shaken to the core. Nowadays, there are both ancestors and fire elves in the country, and there are even those who believe in the power of nature like the goblins after the open communication with the goblins. With such a state of affairs, naturally, no puppet could be elected to compete for the position of Pope of the Church of the Patriarchs.

Albion was the weakest country, and although it also had branches of the church and clergy with the title of Archbishop, the church only had half or even a third of the number of Torristine and Goliath. Although the Archbishop of Albion shouted at the top of his voice that he was the successor to the Pope, Goliath and Torristine ignored him. Nor was Albion able to give his strong support.

In response to the antagonism of the Goliath and Torristine clergy, Horton went on a mission to Goliath. First a letter expressed the intention of the mission, then he used the [Gate of the Patriarchs] to come to Tabatha, and that afternoon he met Joseph in the palace hall of Goliath.

Chapter 15: Unsealing the Church and Conflict

Goliath's palace was gray-blue in tone, and the stone buildings had a considerable age to them, giving them a heavy feel. Hao Tian was taken by the attendant to Joseph's study and pushed the door in, where there were both Joseph and Sherfield.

"Hello, King Joseph." Hao Tian bowed slightly in greeting.

"Welcome, Secretary of State Hao Tian." Joseph sat in his chair and did not get up.

Tabatha entered with Hao Tian. The door of the study room then closed, and Tabatha casually cast the [Silence] magic.

Hao Tian got straight to the point.

"My intentions have been mentioned in the letter, but now the threat of the fire elves has not been lifted and the water elves are threatening our existence. It is really not the time for humans to implode, and if the Church within Goliath and the Church within Torristine continue to oppose each other, it is really not what I want to see. I wonder what you think, King Joseph?"

Joseph was big and sharp-eyed, and was now staring at Hao Tian.

"What do you mean?"

"The first option is to merge, the churches of both countries merge in one place and elect a pope that is acceptable to both parties. Both King Joseph and Louise have the status of heir to the Patriarchs, and keeping each other in check would ensure that the power of the Church is not used against them."

"Merge?" Joseph was thoughtful, "How will the new Pope be elected if the merger takes place?"

"Elections will be held by secret ballot. One candidate from each of you and me will be voted for by the registered clergy of each place, and the process will be monitored by both armies. The one with the most votes at the end becomes the Pope." Hao Tian imitated the system of Mother Earth's country.

Joseph's eyes lit up, this would indeed eliminate cheating to some extent, but the results were uncontrollable.

"You said the first method, so is there another method?" Joseph asked.

"The second is the separation of powers. Both churches share the same beliefs and doctrines, but have different popes. That means there are two churches and two popes. The people, the believers, are free to choose whether to join the church or not, which church to join, and which church to quit."

"Did you say two churches?" Joseph was startled. The Church of the Patriarchs was also 6000 years old, had been unified until its headquarters was overthrown 4 years ago, and ruled the Romanian region could be separated from the rest of the country. Now to split it up?

"Yes, in that case, a church that has no fixed territory and whose believers are also divided into two parts cannot threaten the rule of the state. Unless the two churches merge again, but that must take a long time." Hao Tian's suggestion could be said to have put an end to any hope of the church rising again.

Joseph, as the king, naturally didn't want the church to have too much power. After pondering over the matter and not finding any problems, Joseph smiled, "Then, let's follow Secretary Hao Tian's suggestion."

Hao Tian also smiled and extended his hand to shake Joseph's.

The two great powers in power tandem, after which Goliath and Torristine jointly issued a statement.

The Goliath Church of the First Ancestors and the Torristine Church of the First Ancestors were both orthodox, and both had the same pope status, below the successor of the First Ancestors. The people and believers were free to enter, choose and leave the Church. The two churches are brothers and will never conquer each other.

In addition, in order to maintain the orthodoxy of the two churches. Goliath and Torristine demanded that all the original churches and churches in Albion and Kelmania be disbanded and join one of the two churches, or else become hypocrites.

Believers within Kelmania are inclined to join the Church of Torristine because of the relationship between the Queen and Torristine Hohenge.

Archbishop Albion grieves that he was a proper Archbishop appointed by the previous Pope, but now he is branded a hypocrite. He wanted to join the royal family of Albion, and demanded recognition from the other two churches, to establish himself as a church and pope in Albion. But Albion, oppressed by Goliath and Torristine, did not give the Archbishop of Albion a head start. The followers of Albion joined the Church of the Patriarchs of Torristine and Goliath one after another. The Archbishop of Albion set himself on fire in the church and died.

The former Archbishop of Goria and Julio, now the Pope of the Church of the First Patriarchs of Goria and the Church of the First Patriarchs of Torristine, were also quite unhappy with what Joseph and Horton had done. They originally wanted to be the Pope of a unified Church of the Patriarchs, but now that they only had half of their rights left, they were naturally dissatisfied. But the church now only had believers, no land, no army, and could only endure in the face of the two great powers of Goliath and Torristine. Moreover, as Hao Tian expected, the two popes saw the biggest enemy in each other's eyes, and both held their energy to absorb more believers and overwhelm the opposite church, so all the clergy worked diligently to serve the people, introducing, inviting and even pleading with them to join the church. For a time, the reputation of the church on the continent rose considerably.

The problem of the church was now solved, and under the appeasement and brainwashing of the Church of the Patriarchs of Torristine, the people of Lake Lagudorian and even the whole territory of Torristine did not resist the relocation and obedience to the army, and cooperated with the government and the army.

Soon, all the people of the 100 kilometers around Lake Lagudorian were relocated. The Valier and Gramont legions were each deployed with 10,000 troops, and the Queen-administered legion was deployed with 20,000 troops, making a total of 40,000 troops stationed at the lake in the four directions of east, west, north, south, and south, patrolling along the lake every day to check the rise of the lake water and the activities of the water elemental life. The Magic Knights were also all mobilized here to synergize with Lady Carina, and usually continued to train, if there is a situation to support the army.

After Hao Tian explored the bottom of the lake, on the 3rd day, the Torristine Ancestor Church was rebuilt; on the 7th day, Hao Tian sent out to Goliath and reached an agreement to split; on the 10th day, the Albion and Kelmania Churches disappeared, and the two ancestor churches were basically completed; on the 12th day, the migration of 300,000 people around Lake Lagudorian was completed; on the 13th day, 40,000 troops arrived, and on the same evening, the Magic Knights and [Quadrilateral Level] Lady Carina arrived.

Then, on the 16th day, the conflict that Hao Tian had foreseen occurred. The lake was only supposed to rise slowly, but that morning, the garrison troops on the west side of the lake found the water opening up along a straight line, heading directly towards the camp.

Water line approaching, the garrison panicked and fled. It was actually a huge whale of 10 meters in size, the whale exerted a huge body, squeezing the land along the way, the lake water along the path the whale opened up to pour in.

The corps commander of the garrison was overwhelmed and ordered his soldiers to attack this whale.

Swoosh, swoosh, arrows rained down.

The arrows hit the whale's tough, thick skin and were bounced off without penetrating. Instead, the whale was infuriated by the provocation of the reptiles in its eyes, and with a long roar, its huge body tumbled up. A full jump of 10 meters, the shadow cast by the huge body can cover hundreds of people, and then "bang" sound of the whale's huge body fell.

The earth trembled, and hundreds of soldiers near the whale fell to the ground; the water waves surged up to the shore, engulfing hundreds of soldiers nearby.

"Moo-" the whale chanted, and did not cast magic, while swimming around to open up the waters, occasionally coming to a carp leap, just the huge size of the big vibrations could bury tens of hundreds of soldiers.

Finding that the soldiers' attacks were completely ineffective, the corps commander ordered a retreat, and then asked the Knights of Magic for help.

The garrison camp was quickly turned into a shallow pond by the whale's ravages, with tents and wooden fences scattered and floating on the water.

"Moo-ing" the whale swam at its own leisure, widening and deepening the waters westward of the main body of the lake.

Chapter Sixteen - The First Battle of the Magic Knights

The Knights of Magic, derived from the former Unicorns, Chimeras, and Griffins, for going along with the Minister's Mutiny at the Battle of the Palace.

The situation was so bad that the three teams were merged and the best students were recruited from the Academy of Magic to supplement them. Keeshoe and Montmorency were now both

Almost all of the members of the Order of Magic, other cadets of Torristine origin, have joined the Order; cadets of other national origins Ki

Ben was returning to his home country to inherit his family's business or join his country's magician army. The group of students who were in the same school as Louise and Hao Tian had already graduated.

The industries went their own ways, and now the students were the new batch of young nobles in their teens from each country.

The topic turned back to the Magic Knights, the leader William was Hao Tian's second-in-command during the time of the Griffins, with the strength of the [Triangle Level]
