Chapter 373: The fire of the prairie
. "Brother, there are two news here, one good and the other bad." Shahholyn walked over with a letter, looked at the Gorton soldiers who were assembling a trencher and widening the moat waterway of Ryanburg in the distance and said to me.
"The bad news is that the enemy is coming to us, and I can't think of any worse. Say good news."
Shaholyn raised his eyebrows with his mouth and said, "Well, our ranger contacted Marshal Longde. He was coming here with his army, and he followed the army of Duke Eugen of the Three Holy Kingdom to attack. This is his letter to you."
"Haha...it seems that the old man can fight for a few years." He smiled and took the letter handed over by Shah Holyan and said, "Old Man Longde did cooperate very well. He restrained the army of the Three Hundred Kingdom when I was moving forward, and he followed and attacked desperately when the Three Hundred Army rushed towards me. It would be strange if the brothers of the Three Hundred Kingdom were not furious.
However, Old Man Longde's letter was really not happy. After opening it, I looked at it for a few times and didn't want to look at it anymore. I shook my head and sighed, and handed the letter to Shahholyn: "Two bad news."
"What's wrong? Brother."
"You can see it yourself."
After taking the letter, Shaholyn looked at it, his brows frowned more and more. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his head and said, "Are they crazy?"
"I don't know, if I can, I'd rather catch them and ask." Shahholyn: "What should we do now?"
"Snatch the city quickly and capture Ryan Fort as soon as possible..."
"What after?"
"We can no longer decide what happened afterwards, Shafa." I thought there would be no worse news except for the Three Hundred Army running towards us. In fact, this is true. Or from a military perspective.
But now Old Man Longde has brought me a worse news, a bad news related to military but not military category - Alando is dead, and the nobles of the Principal of Fire Eagle began to rebel. Perhaps this cannot be regarded as a rebellion, because they did not betray the royal family of the Principal of Fire Eagle. They chose to use force to protect those who were declared heresy by the Holy See.
The war tax collected by the Principality of Fire Eagle and the spiritual tax collected by the Vatican in the Principality of Fire Eagle have caused dissatisfaction with the low-ranking nobles, civilians and clergy in the Duchy. Shortly after I led the army of Gordon to the battlefield, the priests of a county in the Principality of Fire Eagle posted a notice on the square bulletin board of the town, listing many crimes of the Rana Holy See.
The cause of the incident was not because of the shortage of funds for the Holy See, and the current Pope Rana was intensified to sell the sacred talisman. Although the current Pope Rana was disagreeing with the father-in-law of the Bull, he was still a very active person in the matter of sacred war. The reason was the invasion of the Mutu people. After the Pope Rana met with the Boy Pima, he felt that he had already begun to unite the entire Western Continent to prepare for a new sacred war, but the sacred tribute funding for the sacred war was not kept up. Therefore, Pope Rana issued a new decree to the princes and archbishops of the Western Continent, urging the sacred sacred funds, including expanding the sale of the sacred talisman.
However, for the Fire Eagle Principality, which has been fighting for years and has been instable in politics, this is undoubtedly a worse situation. The contradictions suddenly become more serious. Moreover, the Pope's decree will definitely not be implemented locally when it comes to the local area. There are too many people who can reach out, so things are becoming more and more intense.
The nobles dared not use force to go to war against the royal family that swore allegiance directly, and the farmers did not know who to oppose if they used violence. Only these priests educated in religious universities understood the key to the problem. Some priests could not see that after they received the support of the nobles with the same view, they took this bold move.
If this behavior is usually the same as Ferriguez Mandaris, the current Bishop of Swan Castle, was the same as the "mobs" who supported him. But now, from Marshal Longde's letter, the situation is expanding. Starting from that small town, it quickly spread to all parts of the Fire Eagle Principality. They are also preparing to actively prepare a religious meeting composed of priests with the same attitudes in the Fire Eagle Principality. Not only that, in order to express that it was not a rebellion, but reform, they also invited Archbishop of Fire Eagle, the Grand Princess of the Fire Eagle Principality, and Christina, who was still a baby girl, to rely on the general trend to obtain the support of the Royal Family of the Fire Eagle Principality and the Archbishop of Fire Eagle City.
I don't know if this is considered the so-called historical necessity. If the word "necessity" can be used to describe a randomly push forward for hundreds of years or a randomly push back for hundreds of years, then the word itself is meaningless. Anyway, it will definitely appear, that is, when it will appear, it is the so-called "necessity". But... no matter what it is, this matter is very troublesome now.
It does not mean that my sympathy or supportive attitude towards this reform means that I must support them. The so-called ideological disputes have never been caused by ideological differences. All disputes come from interests. When the father-in-law of the Bulls was seeking the crown of the Holy Rana Empire for the Bulls-Swansburg family, this chaos broke out in the Fire Eagle Principality. Now the father-in-law of the Bulls must be very troubled. There is also the Grand Princess of the Fire Eagle Principality. Didn’t she want her daughter to become the queen of the Holy Rana Empire? The Emperor of the Holy Rana Empire needs the crown of the Pope Rana. I doubt that she would not be cooperative or tolerant of those religious reformers, and would even write to her Duke Hesson’s father and mobilize the army to suppress it. If so, she will lose the Fire Eagle Principality forever. Because the people of the Fire Eagle Principality still have one month to sing Princess.
"Brother..." Shahholyn called me while I was thinking. Huh?"
Shahholyn: "What should I do with Gordon? Does our war still make sense?"
"Our war..." Shahholyn refers to the plan made by the bastard-in-law to obtain the crown of the Emperor of the Holy Rana Empire. Now even Shahholyn sees the trouble. He begins to shake. He reaches out and pats Shahholyn on the shoulder. "The situation is indeed very bad now. Pope Rana may issue an order to suppress every vassal state around the Fire Eagle Principality to suppress every unstable area of the Fire Eagle Principality. The king of the Three Hundred Kingdom has now found an opportunity to expand the scale of the war.
But... Shafa, who belongs to the Holy Rana Empire? The Holy Rana Empire, the Father God and the Emperor. Does anyone say that this land does not belong to the Father God? So we should solve this problem with a worldly perspective. No matter who it is, no matter what name he invades, we have the right to attack him with worldly power. The matters of the Holy Rana Empire should be decided by the Holy Rana Empire and the Emperor. Therefore, our mission is to use swords for Gorton to overcome obstacles for our Emperor. Gorton's army will arrive soon, and our Duke, with your father, you must trust them."
After saying to Shahholyn, he looked at the Gorton Legion in the distance and shouted at his messenger: "Let them speed up, we will spend the night in the castle tomorrow night. Otherwise, we will be ready to die outside together. When the king of the Three Holy Kingdom received news of the domestic situation of the Fire Eagle Principality, it is certain that he sent additional troops to enter the territory of the Fire Eagle Principality in the name of fighting heresy, and I do not intend to let them take a slight advantage now, so while the Three Holy Kingdom is not ready to occupy the Three Holy Kingdom castle as a base. This will also make the King and General of the Three Holy Kingdom have some concerns. If they really dare to go, then I will really dare to poke their butt with a spear.
That night, the catapult of the Gorton Legion was assembled and only waited for dawn to start attacking the suspension bridge. The boats on the lake were expected to be able to enter the moat of Ryanburg until early tomorrow morning.
"You are finally back." As soon as you returned to the camp in the evening, Sister Mindy, who was sitting at my desk, put down the bread in her hand and stood up and walked towards me gently.
"Are you still here?"
"Yes, neither you nor the dean have any instructions to me, so I can only stay here. Fortunately, someone remembers to send me some food. In return, I cleaned up your bedroom, and even a temporary residence should look neat, right?"
"You peeked at all my official documents and letters?" I was negligent when I went out in the morning. I forgot that this nun was literate, not like the village girls in the past.
"Hehe..." Sister Mindy was not nervous when she heard my questioning, but replied with a smile: "If I said it would not make you feel at ease? Your guards had never planned to let me go out. Now... what are you going to deal with me? Kill me for my own secrets and those military affairs secrets? If I don't kill me, then what are you going to deal with me?"
To be honest, when I just realized that all my secrets were learned by this nun, I really thought about drawing my sword to kill her, because in addition to the official documents, I always carried the private letters written to me by the Grand Duke of Yaxia, Mrs. Yingui, and the others. However, after hearing what Sister Mindy said, I was not in a hurry. I really wanted to hear what a woman thinks about me after knowing so many things about me. So I smiled and asked her, "How is it, have you found anything?"
