"Hahaha..." The king laughed in anger and slapped the handrail of the throne hard. The hall seemed to be cheered up, "Just, isn't my words enough to convince them? Humph, the Light Alliance is indeed a cover, and when it comes to the critical moment of survival, he will ignore anything."

The king sneered with gritted teeth, his eyes fixed on the dark blue sky in the hall, and murmured to himself expressionlessly: "Those guys in the Ora Empire who eat people and don't spit bones are waiting for the chaos of the Principality of Lyre. Only when the Fargo Church occupied the capital will they send troops to suppress it forcibly, and finally incorporate my king's territory into the territory of Kato!"

After waiting for countless days and nights in dismay, he received such a ridiculous reply from the Cato Empire, and his last hope became despair. The king was furious at this moment, with his eyes rolling round, and he said with red eyes: "It is better to give the Duchy of Lyre to the greedy Cato Empire. At least their followers were the people of this king! In this way, the bloodline and tradition of the Principal of Lyre can be inherited and will not be infected by the culture of Kato. The soul of the nation will remind everyone that it was the damn Kato Empire that forced us into a desperate situation!"

The old man was shocked when he heard this. The king's thinking had fallen into a dead end and began to get stuck in a rude way. He actually blamed the fault of the destruction of the country from the Church of Destiny to the Cato Empire.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Maybe there is still a chance to save it now." The old man was not sure whether the Principality of Lyre was still saved, but he could only persuade the king not to do anything randomly. If the backbone gave up resisting in the end, then the conspiracy of the Church of Destiny would succeed."

"Save? Humph, Ice City has completely betrayed me and sent to meet with the messengers of the Kato Empire. There is no news now. The news reported from all over the country is getting less and less day by day. Even the ministers who knelt in front of me every day were insincere. The Principality of Lair is no longer under the control of me, the king. There is no available talent at present, so what else can I talk about to save? I don't know how much national strength has been consumed by worshiping the goddess of light. If she really exists, how can I allow the so-called Lord God to do whatever I want on her territory? Now both humans and gods are no longer reliable. What is the meaning of my existence!" The king's face turned red and he was anxious. After saying the last sentence, he coughed a few times, and the palm of his palm covering his mouth was red.

"Your Majesty!" The old man took a step forward anxiously, his face full of worry. "The body is important. You are so hardworking for state affairs. You are a good monarch of the Principality of Lair. The old minister believes that no one will forget your contribution."

Wipe the blood from the palm of his hand with a handkerchief, and then clenched it hard. The king looked at the only loyal minister calmly and said with some relief: "I am not a lonely man..."

The old man raised his head and cried, "Your Majesty, no matter how rampant the minions of the church are, the old ministers will always support you." As a veteran of the country and a major minister of the court, his status in the Principality of Lair was second only to that of the king, and his words were very important, but now things are different. Even the king is difficult to protect himself, and the old man does not know what role he can play.

The king nodded and said with a sad expression: "Now the only direct troops of my king are left with the Royal Guards. But their captain also defected to the Church of Destiny a few days ago... No matter how elite a team of hundreds of people is, it cannot stop the pace of the cultist army."

"Your Majesty, please don't be pessimistic. Only by showing your past magnificent spirit can you shock the demons with fangs and claws." The old man tried to slowly pull the king back on track step by step, but the sudden change that followed caught him helpless.

"Yes, I..." The king seemed to have suddenly woken up. He left the throne and stood up, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly frowned tightly, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, as if he was being shocked.

Then he sighed deeply and said with a blank expression: "No need, I have decided to give up the king's throne and announce my abdication."

"What!?" The old man's face was pale. He had tried his best to persuade him before, but he did not say that he had given up the throne. Unexpectedly, the king's idea was so extreme that he asserted that he would give up the throne.

"Needless to say, I have decided to tell the world immediately." The king was like a lion awakened from his sleep, and suddenly felt refreshed. With a wave of his hand, his tone could not stand any doubt.

The old man seemed to feel the sky falling, crawling at the king's feet, and cried and said, "Your Majesty!! Never be sure, will the territory passed down for hundreds of years be given to others this way?"

But the king was determined and could no longer hear any opposition in his ears. He ordered the royal guards to force the old man out of the hall, and then ordered the servants to draft a plan to abdicate.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!!!" The old man's grief gradually disappeared into the hall, but the king turned a deaf ear and just sat on the throne with expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Under the steps of the throne, an inconspicuous royal guard had a bright smile on his face. He had some difficulty wearing a steel helmet, under which was a handsome face as sharp as a knife, and strands of silver hair were placed on his chest.

Martin wiped his sweaty head, ignored the king and other guards present, and said to himself: "Now, we can resolve the dispute peacefully."

In the capital city.

In Rick's impression, the crazy believers should be like infamous Japanese, burning, killing and looting when they enter the city, and no one dares to go against their will will be spared.

As a result, these believers who came from the Ice City did not plan terrifying attacks except for marching and demonstrating every day to prove their existence.

However, even if it is just a parade, it will only make the atmosphere in the capital more tense and make more people panic. Therefore, Rick does not agree with these crazy believers using this extreme means to spread the faith of the Lord God.

If all believers of the Church of Destiny have been manipulated before doing such stupid things, it would be a different matter. After the Wings of Minx have discussed internally, we must take the lord behind the scenes back to the capital and hand it over to the Holy Church to clean up this broken stall.

In order to further investigate the Church of Destiny, this time everyone was named believers and mixed into the marching team. After all, there were hundreds of people in any team, and no one would be found in such a huge army to catch up with troubled waters. Moreover, after the Church of Destiny entered the capital, it also absorbed a lot of new believers. Therefore, the strange faces of Rick and the others were not suspected.

He secretly knocked out several believers and snatched the robe from them. Rick, Jim, Xin, Grey and Belle all changed into white robes representing the church of destiny, and praised the Lord God loudly insincerely, following the team forward.

The marching team shouted the slogan "The Lord God is supreme, the Imperial Power is the auxiliary" and shuttled through the streets and alleys of the royal capital. If someone hides at home and dares not come out, then they must be locals; if someone hears the call and immediately joins the army of the march, then he must be from Ice City. Because the new members of the Church of Destiny are all for their own interests. In short, they are forced to choose, and they are not as fanatical as the believers of Ice City.

Every day, there are spontaneously organized parade troops, and they are like drivers who do not abide by traffic rules, rushing around in the capital. From the perspective of fame, this behavior that causes chaos in the capital is not worthy of advocacy. However, the purpose of the Church of Destiny is to make the Principality of Lyre completely chaotic so that they can seize power. Therefore, in public, clergy will not recommend believers to make trouble. In fact, not only privately acquiesced to the parade, but also secretly encourage them.

The believers are numerous and powerful. Officials from all over the royal city either surrender to the Church of Destiny to ensure safety or escape. In short, there are almost no one who can manage the affairs. The morale of the defending army has long been disintegrated, and the royal guards have returned to the palace to guard the king's bedroom, regardless of the life and death of the outside world.

In short, just a few days after Rick and his friends came to the kingdom, they saw with their own eyes that a large city was completely trapped in the rule of darkness, and the tyrant was not the king of the Principality of Lyle, but the pope of the Church of Destiny.

"It's really abominable. Gray thought they were good people." The girl naturally referred to them as the top leaders of the Destiny Church.

"Shh, there are so many people, don't be discovered." Although the current situation is conducive to Operation Minks, the risks are very high, and Jim has to be extra cautious. Once these crazy believers find out that they are spies sent by the Kato Empire, the ending must be attacked by the group.

The sea of ​​people rushed from all corners of the capital to the front of the palace gate. If the palace gate had not been closed and the wall was unattainable, it would have fallen long ago.

The excited believers shouted slogans loudly and asked the king to come out to give everyone an explanation, but judging from their appearance, even if the Church of Destiny is listed as the state religion, these believers may not be satisfied.

Looking down from mid-air, the dense heads were like an army of ants. Although Belle hid behind Rick's strong body, there were too many people around him, and they were all crazy, which made the girl feel particularly scared.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Rick was like an eagle protecting young people, blocking Belle's body, giving her some space to move.

Looking at Rick's sunny smile, Belle seemed to be unable to hear the noise, but just grabbed the corner of his clothes and smiled slightly.

After a long time, no one came out to drive away the believers in the palace. The brave royal guards all turned into turtles and dared to hide behind the thick city gate.

While protecting Grey, Jim frowned and said, "It seems that there is no action in the palace today." He has been waiting for the official explanation of the matter, but now it seems that the situation is very serious, and it will only take a while for the palace gate to be broken.

"Hey, you stepped on my feet." Xin was not as tall as Rick and Jim. Although he was only sixteen years old, although he was in a stunning physical condition, the people who could squeeze people flat did not care about the boy, and they still pushed me and pulled me.

Jim winked at everyone. He and Rick were responsible for opening the way forward. Finally, he led Belle, Grey and Xin to break through the crowds of people marching and demonstrating and stay away from the hustle and bustle palace.

"Oh my God, it's so deadly. Don't you two like to show off? Don't call me next time." Xin was so tired that he complained.

"Tsk, I don't think it's hard. You are a boy, it's useless." Grey was also squeezed to the point. She wanted to fly into the sky with magic, but that would be too shocking. The girl had no place to get resentment, so she fell on Xin's head.

The boy in white just gave Ge Rui a blank look, too lazy to argue with her. He looked at the palace gate with some palpitations, wearing all white robes, and at least a few thousand believers. He couldn't help but say shocked: "You said that if they rushed into the palace, will the royal guards of the principality be the opponent?"

"Most of them are ordinary people, and the personal guards of every country are first-class masters, such as the previous guard captain, who is a veritable high-level sword master, and a thousand people are no problem to kill. If the king really hates the believers of the Church of Destiny, these people will become cannon fodder. However, in this way, cruel behavior will definitely be exposed. Out of humanitarianism, the Kato Empire can't help even if it wants to." Jim analyzed objectively from the perspective of a third party.

"Then according to what you said, wouldn't the king of the Principal of Lyle have no choice but to do anything to them?" Xin didn't expect that there were so many restrictions, no wonder no one had announced his responsibility for this matter.

"This is exactly what the king is anxious about every day." Jim believed that if he became king and encountered rebellion by more than half of the people in the country, he would be helpless.

Now believers are captured by the Church of Destiny, and they will definitely not be impressed by peaceful negotiations. Moreover, the church has a great appetite. From the beginning to the establishment of a religious state, this is simply saying to the king: "We are the masters of the Principality of Lyle, oh, we will not be called the Principality of Lyle in the future."

So the only direct method is bloody suppression, but the population involved is too large. Even if all the crazy believers in Ice City are killed under the sword, new believers will soon come from all parts of the Principality. The decision to massacre is not a solution to the problem, so the king of the Principality was in a dilemma.

If it was a turbulent era a thousand years ago, there were indeed kings who had stepped on countless corpses of their own people and climbed to the throne on the Erot continent. But now it is a peaceful era, and the current king does not have such courage. If he does so, he will definitely be intervened by other countries and take the opportunity to invade the Principality of Lair under the banner of humanitarianism.

"Then, isn't the Principal of Lyle waiting to die now?" Faced with the attack from the Church of Destiny, the Principality could only stand and be beaten. Xin didn't believe that there was no remedy.

"Isn't the Kato Empire an ally of the Principality of Lyre? Why can't we help at this time?" Rick thought for a while and asked.

Jim shook his head helplessly, "This involves too many aspects. From a political perspective, although the Principality of Lyre takes the initiative to request assistance, the Cato Empire is an outsider after all. Now they have lost the hearts of the people, almost the same as destroying the country. At this time, forcibly interfering in the internal affairs of the Principality will only arouse public anger. If the mediation fails and the Principality of Lyre is replaced with a new leader, the Cato Empire will only establish a new enemy."

"What are you afraid of? The Kato Empire is one of the three great empires, and I am afraid of this little Duchy of Lyre?" Xin looked fearless. If he was asked to lead his troops to fight, he would definitely charge forward mindlessly.

Jim smiled slightly and continued, "There is also religious reasons. This time our mission is to bring back evidence that the Church of Destiny used improper means to lure believers. Think about it, if the development of the Church of Destiny had not threatened the status of the Church of Destiny, would the latter be so eager to send people to investigate the truth? The fanaticism of believers is very common. We cannot point out that the Church of Destiny used despicable means on the grounds of a crazy believer. What the Cato Empire is concerned about is that if the Church of Destiny is really a formal emerging church, at their development speed, it will definitely rise in a short time to compete with the Church of Destiny. As the emperor of the Church of Destiny, would you provoke a principality with no underestimation and a church with unlimited future at this time?" (To be continued)
