Because no matter how good a plan they plan, it is still the group of people below who put it into action.

In the end, I don’t know how their plan was twisted.

The more you do this, the more mistakes you make.

It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.

After this incident, Lord Christine completely understood the situation in his territory.

Placing your hopes on such a group of people is like hanging your life on a few hairs. With a little pressure, it will completely collapse. The speed of surrender of those local nobles is probably faster than the last.

Judging from the boiling public resentment they are causing now, if the army led by the Yongye Army really enters the Flower Language Plateau.

They only need to promise a little benefit, and the angry citizens will take the initiative to open the city gate, welcome the opponent in, and kill all the local nobles.

Therefore, the army led by Yongye Army must be blocked in the fault mountain range and cannot be allowed to enter on a large scale.

Under the repeated orders of Archduke Christian, the private armies of the major local nobles began to gather at the border where the two sides met, and led the Yongye Army into the intersection of Huayu Plateau, and read a strict and strict statement.

In addition, Archduke Christian began to frequently contact his daughter, Queen Enid, and the senior officials of the Saint Ether Church.

Trying to use the Huayu Plateau to be incorporated into the empire that the Holy See is about to build as a price in exchange for the other party putting pressure on the Yongye Army leaders to prevent their large-scale invasion.

…

Royal Capital, Valesta, Lancelot Palace.

The royal capital is still the royal capital, and the royal palace is still the royal palace.

But the owner of the palace has changed his face.

The appearance of the royal capital has also changed with the change of owners.

During the reign of King Laurie, the number of priests, missionaries, and knights of the Holy See on the streets belonging to the Holy See of Saint Ether has increased significantly. However, they know how to exercise restraint. At least, they must maintain their utmost control over the city defense troops and guards who are directly loyal to the royal family.

At least a little respect.

Now that Queen Enid is in power, it is no longer a matter of whether they can maintain awe, but the city defense troops and guards wear a layer of white coats on top of their original armor clothing, with large red crosses on their chests and backs.

Holy Emblem of the Holy See.

Show the world that they have all returned to the embrace of the God of truth.

Pedestrians on the street were either wearing the plain white cross cloak of the Holy See, or they were leaning towards the plain white color of the Holy See.

The colorful costumes with blooming flowers caused by the large-scale entry of the caravan led by the Yongye Army have completely disappeared.

The three colors of white, black and red have become the main tone of the entire Valesta.

Behind each color, there is its own special meaning.

White represents purity, and most ordinary believers and soldiers wear this color.

Black represents the majesty of judgment, and some special judges wear clothing of this color.

Red represents piety and loyalty. It is mostly used as a mosaic color. Only people with extremely distinguished status wear clothing of this color, such as the red archbishop.

The main street of the royal capital, Valesta, was now crowded with people, and both sides were crowded with believers dressed in plain white clothing.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, everyone, get ready, the sinners who have redeemed themselves are coming soon."

"Fallen sinners, your eyes have been blinded by money, and your souls have been seduced by the devil and fallen into the abyss of sin. May you walk the road of atonement, and the true God redeem your souls."

"I pray for your poor and humble souls and hope that you can be saved."

"These three sinners not only wear luxurious and prosperous clothes from the realm of sin in private, but also secretly sell them secretly. They are even more sinful. They not only ignore the decrees of the Holy See, but are also corrupting our simple people. This is the devil's work.

,What are you waiting for? Beat them?"

"Only rotten eggs and rotten vegetables are allowed, and no hard objects such as stones are allowed. We are redeeming their souls, not killing them!"

Countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetables fell on the three prisoners in the carriage cage like rain.

The three prisoners were not wearing ragged prison uniforms. On the contrary, they were made by the master tailor of the Eternal Night Army who had made Valesta famous and was sought after by countless Valestans ten years ago.

Gorgeous clothing.

No matter how beautiful the clothes are, after being attacked by countless rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, and rotten mud, they will no longer be beautiful at all, and all that will be left is a strong stench.

Those citizens of Valesta had long forgotten their fanatical pursuit of these luxurious costumes, and all they had was a strong hatred that could not be overcome.

Wherever the prison van passed, there was a roar of mountain and tsunami waves.

After that, what was left was a devout prayer, as if they had completed a pious ceremony.

The three prisoners imprisoned in the prison car were guilty of a new crime - the crime of extravagance.

This bizarre crime focused on extravagant behavior in food and clothing.

Once they are convicted of such crimes, they will not only have to face heavy fines, but also face a severely humiliating procession trial just like this and accept the scorn of those believers.

What is incredible is that this crime is so popular in most dioceses.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.

Who are the people who commit this crime?

Local lords and nobles.

Those low-level people, whether they were from the era of the Lancelot royal family or the era of the Holy See, even if they wanted to commit this crime, most of them would not have the chance.

In the past, they were envious and jealous of the luxurious life of the local lords and nobles.

But because of the huge disparity in status between the two parties, I could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and kept it all in my heart.

The crime now promoted by the Holy See has given them an opportunity to vent their attacks openly and openly, and attack people who would not otherwise be able to attack them.

Once this kind of sin appears, new and old hatreds, coupled with the instigation of faith, they will often become very fanatical.

There is no need to experience it personally. Just witnessing two such trials on the street made all the local nobles cower.

A heavy fine is not terrible; what is terrible is being paraded on trial.

Once they have gone through the procession trial, they will no longer be able to hold their heads up in front of others and behave as human beings. Wherever they go, they will feel like someone is poking their spines in the back.

In order to avoid this kind of misfortune, many nobles, nobles and wealthy people directly donated most of their wealth to the Holy See.

He doesn't even have any wealth anymore, so he doesn't have to worry about committing such weird crimes anymore.

This was an unexpected gain when the higher-ups of the Holy See promoted this crime.

The main purpose of the Holy See in promoting this crime in its own diocese is to further control the thinking of believers. This is an artificially created channel for the people at the bottom to vent their dissatisfaction.

If their dissatisfaction is vented from time to time, they will not easily go to extremes like those revolutionary parties in the Huayu Plateau.

At the same time, this is also a check and balance for those local nobles, making them fear the Holy See and let them be at their mercy.

In addition, it can also suppress the increasingly rampant smuggling activities of the Evernight Army leaders in disguise and prevent them from amassing more wealth from their own territory.

The Holy See has recognized the economic erosion of the Evernight Army and the harm to their rule.

If it is not stopped, most of the wealth in their territory will be used by the Eternal Night Army to use these useless luxuries, and will be continuously sucked away from their territory.

But as long as there is a relationship between supply and demand and huge interests exist, it is impossible to completely ban this kind of smuggling activity.

This extravagant crime committed by the Holy See is an out-and-out effort to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.

It directly cuts off the most important link in the supply and demand chain.

When no one dares to wear and use luxury goods from the Eternal Night Army.

The smuggling of luxury goods from the Yongye Army will naturally end.

Lancelot Palace, as an example of the royal capital and a place where countless eyes are focused, is naturally unavoidable and is now as simple as possible.

Some gaudy decorations should be taken down as soon as they can, and taken down as soon as possible.

The current Lancelot Palace should be the simplest period in history.

Queen Enid is also dressed in plain white, but the same clothes can bring out different temperaments on different people.

Plain white clothes make her look more beautiful and less worldly.

Only when she read the letter, her eyes kept flashing, indicating that she was not without desires.

Queen Enid quickly finished reading the letter, lowered her head and looked down at the young man below and said, "I heard that the Yongye Army has completely blocked the road from the plateau to the royal capital. How did you get here? An Qi

Messenger Luo."

"The border between the two sides is long and the roads are very complicated. No matter how powerful the Yongye army is, it is impossible to achieve a complete blockade. As long as they avoid the main arteries, it will not be difficult for even a small team to cross, let alone a few people.

." Angelo replied with a smile.

"In three weeks, he traveled through two thousand kilometers of blockades without taking the main road. He is worthy of being a student of the Grand Bachelor of Adonia. He is indeed outstanding." Queen Enid gave Heap high praise and affirmation, if nothing else.

, this ability to recognize the road alone is not something that ordinary people have.

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen." Angelo still looked neither humble nor arrogant, and did not show much of the complacency of a young man, as if he had accomplished something insignificant and not worthy of praise.

"How are my father and Archmaester Adonia in good health?" Queen Enid did not go straight to the topic, but chatted about family matters.

"Both of them are in good health, so the queen doesn't need to worry." Angelo replied, "They also asked me to bring greetings to the queen. If possible, they hope that the queen can return to the plateau to take a look."

"If there is a chance, I will definitely do it." Queen Enid knew in her heart that the possibility of returning to the Flowery Plateau in this life was almost zero.
