But I didn't expect it to be solved in this way in the end.

Originally, Rudy thought that Carl III would take this opportunity to directly deprive the Slaite family of titles and fiefs.

In fact, in Rudy's view, although the current Kingdom of Thorne is very stable, economically prosperous and national strength is rising, the entire country is already on the verge of a crisis.

The most important contradiction is land annexation.

Because the Kingdom of Thorne had strict control over religion, there was no dilemma of churches occupying large tracts of land in neighboring countries.

On the contrary, the land and means of production in China were largely monopolized by aristocrats and capitalists, especially the aristocrats annexed land, which was already quite serious.

After Carl III came to power, he tried to make reforms to guide the nobles to transform into capitalists, gradually relaxed their obsession with land, and gave the self-cultivated farmers at the bottom of the kingdom some chance to breathe.

However, Carl III underestimated the noble's greed.

The desire for land has been engraved into the bones of the nobles, and it cannot be eliminated by a king's order.

As for guiding the nobles to transform into capitalists and opening factories in the city, it cannot be said that they have no effect at all. But for those nobles, this is not a single choice question at all. They want the high profits of factories, but they also want the vast countryside farms.

This result made Carl III very angry and helpless.

Although the royal family is powerful, the royal family itself is part of the aristocratic class. The king's rule is based on the aristocratic family. He cannot betray his own class, and no one can bear the consequences.

How many magnificent monarchs and kings have seen the crisis and crux of the country, but the housekeepers who still have no choice but to be helpless.

Carl III's ability and vision are quite outstanding, but his courage is insufficient.

Faced with this form, he did not have the courage to break up with the nobles, nor did he hesitate to turmoil in the kingdom and wanted to reform.

Therefore, in the face of Viscount Silaite, even if he had already grasped the evidence of dark magic, he could only become a bargaining chip in the end. He had obtained certain benefits in the secret exchange, and did not directly deprive the title, and still abide by the unspoken rules and let the people of the Silaite family inherit the title.

In Rudy's view, this is definitely a kind of poison to quench thirst.

However, Rudy did not look down on the never-masked Carl III.

Because he had no idea what kind of environment Carl III was facing, maybe it was a change of place. If it were him, it would be the same. After all, only those who stood and talked would not have a back pain.

Unlike Viscount Silaite who was gently put down, the reaction to the spy of the Holy Light Church was quite intense.

Not only did Carl III make a clear statement and issue a stern question to the Church of the Light, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the entire high-level officials, the House of Nobles, and the House of Commons, all responded fiercely and unanimously condemned the Church of the Light.

Looking at the reports in various newspapers, the Church of Holy Light was described as an evil and insidious religious organization, trying to subvert the kingdom with disgraceful means...

Rudy finally understood why Carl III gave in to the aristocratic class in the country.

Because in the eyes of the king, the Holy Light Church, which was eyeing covetously, was far more dangerous than the nobles who were too big to lose in China.

But no matter what Rudy thought in her heart, he had already boarded the warship of Carl III.

Just the second week after Rudy killed the Abyss Demon, he officially received the promotion order issued by Carl III himself and stamped with the King's Seal.

After receiving this promotion order, Rudy was finally promoted from baron to viscount.

Also issued was Rudy's order to be promoted to the rank of colonel.

When he came to Stern City to serve as the leader of the Knights, the leader of the Order, Omasil has been promoted to the rank of major general.

Originally, Rudy was just a captain in Greenton City, but this time she was transferred to Stern City and was promoted to major.

But Rudy took action at a critical moment to stabilize the basic foundation of Captain Omasil in Greenton City.

Rudy played an extremely important role in captain Omahill's final victory in the game.

In addition, this time, the important figures infiltrated by the Church of the Holy Light were dug up in Stern, which became the fuse for Carl III to launch the anti-Church of the Holy Light.

Just being promoted to major is not enough to be commended, so Carl III personally decided to directly promote it and promote it to Colonel Rudy.

Don't underestimate the rank of colonel.

In the entire Kingdom of Thorne, the colonels who were just in their early twenties could not count more than five by fingers.

The others are either royal children, or dukes or marquis' sons.

Rudy, a subordinate nobleman, can be said to be the only one.

Even Rudy had not been to the royal capital yet, his name had reached the ears of many high-ranking officials and great nobles in the kingdom.

For Rudy's promotion, the Knights held a grand ceremony.

In the square downstairs of the Knights, Rudy, under the attention of hundreds of people, personally wore the colonel's epaulette for him.

At this moment, Rudy officially became the second person behind Commander Omasil.

Even though the two deputy commanders who also hold the rank of colonel are nominally on par with Rudy, they are far inferior to those of power and strength.

After the ceremony, Rudy came to Commander Omasha's office in a brand new uniform.

At this time, there was no smile on Captain Omasil's face, which was completely different from the way he smiled at the ceremony just now.

Rudy immediately calmed down and frowned slightly and asked, "Sir, what happened?"

Commander Omasil said seriously: "Be careful recently and don't be proud. I heard some rumors through secret channels. Your information has been placed in front of the Archbishop of the Holy Light Church."

Rudy was shocked. He did not suspect that Captain Omasil was exaggerating.

"Is it because of Mrs. Slater?" Rudy asked in a deep voice.

Commander Omasil breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head and said, "I was against Your Majesty's promotion to you as a colonel. Whether in the army or in the Knights, it is an important threshold to be promoted from a lieutenant colonel, and most people will never be able to overcome it in their entire lives. And how old are you now? How do you think you, a colonel? Just your credit?"

Rudy's eyes narrowed, and in fact he was also a little suspicious that the colonel came was a little strange.

Commander Omasha said helplessly: "This time, His Majesty made a heavy blow and secretly sent a execution squad under the royal family. The entire province of Zeland who colluded with the Holy Light Church was cleaned up! The Holy Light Church's management for more than ten years was destroyed! You... are the initiators of all this, and the only person in front of you, except His Majesty. Do you think the Holy Light Church hates you to the core?"

"Execution Squad?" Rudy had heard of this organization, similar to the dark part held in the hands of the king, hiding in the darkness and doing some dirty work.
