444. Sean & Emily's Plan

For the next period of time, Sean did not leave the Great Church of Mardes immediately, but stayed behind to assist Emily in some internal affairs of the Church of the God of War, to help her consolidate her current position and power. Because with the death of the Pope, there were also many unstable internal strife factors within the Church of the God of War, among which many cardinal bishops bypassed Emily and directly performed the divine finger ceremony.

The so-called ritual of divine fingers is, to put it bluntly, a devout faith to Marz, who will elect a new pope.

But now, Marz's soul is trapped, and he is not capable of being selected. Therefore, the ceremonies secretly performed by these cardinal bishops behind Emily's back were naturally "unfortunate" discovered by Emily, who imprisoned the divine crystal of Martz, so before the ceremonies of these cardinal bishops were over, Emily had asked the chamber of the Grand Sanctuary of Marz to seal off the entire Vals Hall and wipe out all the cardinal bishops.

And the accusations against these bishops are naturally "hypocrites".

Originally, Emily was still worried about how to deal with these so-called high-level members of the church, but she didn't want these greedy guys to die by themselves, but it made Emily a lot easier. As for the goddess of war attendants around these bishops, according to Sean and Andrew's ideas, they can simply solve it together, after all, these guys are accomplices of all kinds of dirty things at the so-called high-level, plus their souls and beliefs have been tainted and belong to "unclean people", so no god will allow them to enter the kingdom of God.

But Emily didn't think much of it, she felt that these women were poor people, people who had been deceived. So they were left behind. Sean felt that in the future Emily would go along with it. It must have taken Marz's place, if she was willing to let these women enter the kingdom of God after death. Then it didn't matter, so he didn't go against Emily's decision.

It's just that this kind of stay is naturally selective, and it is impossible for all the goddess of war maids to stay indiscriminately. After all, the Church of the God of War is in a relatively turbulent period now, so what is needed is naturally someone who can be loyal to Emily, as for those God of War attendants who are still trying to protect their former masters, even if Emily pities these God of War Attendants, she knows how to choose.

The swing of the invisible butcher's knife soon formed a terrifying shadow of death, enveloping the entire Grand Sanctuary of Marz.

In the past few days, the entire Maerz Chapel has been in a state of panic.

All bishops except the entire College of Cardinals were dealt with. A number of high-ranking members of the Ares Church of War, who were in charge of clerical and missionary work, were also executed. Of course, most of these acts were secret executions, and they were not made public, but the sudden disappearance of a large living person could not hide from the internal clergy of the Grand Church of Marz, and the only thing that could be concealed was the flow of people in the bazaar built around the Great Church of Major.

Although the bloodbath continued, the ritual of the god of war in the Grand Sanctuary of Marz did not stop because of this, and continued every day.

The only thing that has changed is that the security level of the Grand Sanctuary of Martz has been increased by several notches. It became extraordinarily strict, and the young geniuses who were lucky enough to have access to the third and fourth level ritual halls were summoned by the Holy Maiden Emily. These geniuses, both men and women, are strikingly consistent in their spirits, although they have different personalities. And many of them have a trait that is unique to geniuses: unruly.

Sean knew Emily's idea, which was nothing more than wanting to recruit all these geniuses under his command and form a strong, wide-ranging, and large-coverage team.

It's just a pity. This is a very difficult task, at least not a feat that can be accomplished overnight. So in these days. Of the dozen or so geniuses Emily summoned, eight or nine expressed some interest in Emily's vision of a new world. But only two or three people were willing to serve Emily.

However, Emily does not have any frustration or complaints, she is still full of energy and spirit every day.

It was not at all apparent that Emily was tormented every day by the divine crystal that imprisoned the soul of Marz.

Although the entire Church of the God of War was in an extremely gloomy atmosphere at this time, it could be seen that the Church of the God of War was completing its transformation at an astonishing speed. This kind of transformation may not have any effect in the short term, but in the next one or two years, it will definitely be seen that the God of War Church will usher in a terrible period of expansion and development, and this expansion and development will still be beneficial to the development of the entire God of War Church, and even the impact on the future is very far-reaching.

It's just that this qiē is based on the premise that Emily can survive.

Because this qiē is all made by Emily's hard work.

However, just like the essence of this world, where there are people, there will inevitably be a struggle for power and profit. Maybe now that Emily is here, there will be no contradictions and strife among the newly selected talents of Emily in the God of War Church, and they will work hard to make the God of War Church stronger. But if one day, Emily is not there, then none of them will obey anyone, and the entire God of War Church will inevitably fall into even greater chaos.

This point is an unavoidable drawback of an organizational force that ushers in a period of rapid expansion and development after the reshuffle.

Even Sean and Andrew can't offer anything in this regard. The only thing they can do is to use this time to consolidate Emily's power and influence to ensure that Emily can avoid death threats after Sean and Andrew leave.

Of course, it is not easy to kill Emily now.

Because Emily's strength is advancing by leaps and bounds at a speed that is not much weaker than the development momentum of the God of War Church. This is because Sean has taught Emily how to absorb the power of Marz's faith and transform it into divine power to strengthen herself. Although the growth rate of strength is terrifying, this qiē is before Emily really becomes a god. It's all vain, and one day she can't bear the mental pollution of Marz. Then this qiē will be far away from her.

In addition to the rapid growth of her own strength, Emily's personal power is also growing at an astonishing rate.

She first integrated all the goddess of war attendants of the God of War Church. The ancient decree of the privatization of the goddess of war maids was abolished, and these female goddesses of war, who were not much weaker than the knights of the god of war, were cultivated into a private army exclusive to Emily. Secondly, after a series of rectifications, the Knights of War Guards of the Church of Mars also became Emily's personal troops, but unlike the Goddess of War Lady, the Knights of War Guard is responsible for the security and defense of the entire Shrine of Marz, while the Goddess of War Attendant is Emily's personal guard.

In addition to the rectification of the guards, the command of the three armies formed under the name of the God of War Church was also reassigned to Emily. In fact. In the process, the commanders of these three armies were willing to disobey Emily, after all, among the cardinal bishops who were secretly executed by Emily, there were their relatives, but they knew that if they really wanted to resist Emily, the holy woman, the believers in the army would definitely resist, so they adopted the means of disobedience.

It's just that when Enkos and Bess have completed the convergence with Andrew, the commanders of these three armies naturally have not escaped death either. Even with Sean's strategic support, Emily directly waved the butcher's knife at the families of the three commanders. and confiscated all of its property to maintain the bottomless pit of expenses that the Church of the God of War was forced to increase under Emily's series of reforms.

In this regard, Emily's family and the Earl of Hecarrom, settled . Sermaises was a big helper.

However, Emily's feedback to the Earl of Antón. Equally not light. Now this relatively young Earl Hecarrom is already the hottest big man in the entire Duchy of Jordan, and even some powerful marquis treat him as an equal. It's not about looking down on him from the posture of a superior person. In particular, it is said that after the royal family of the Duchy of Jordan learned of Anton's personal friendship with Emily, they frequently invited the earl to enter and leave the palace.

According to current intelligence. It is very likely that this Earl of Hecarrom will gain a larger territory and become a veritable Marquis of Strength.

This ascension of the knighthood. It can be said that it is an exceptional recruitment. Because the title of the Northern Duchy Federation is actually not very valuable, the real value is the territory, only the lord who owns the territory is the real noble, and it is not a trivial matter to get a territory that can match the status and title - at least, if the Earl of Andon really becomes a marquis, then it means that at least one marquis in the Duchy of Jordan will be unlucky.

However, it can also be seen from this how high Emily's value is now in the Northern Duchy Federation.

And this Count Hecalom was able to reap such a rich reward, and Emily's family could not have received much less attention and friendship.

However, this qiē is only part of the plan that Emily and Sean are working on.

In that unfinished real grand picture, settle down. Semys is a candidate to become the soon-to-be Grand Duke of the Principality of Jordan. And this means that the Earl of Antun is destined to pull the royal family of the current Duchy of Jordan from the throne - perhaps, there are also high-ranking people within the royal family of the Duchy of Jotun who have vaguely discovered this, so they will frequently invite Antun to the palace to try to build some kind of friendship.

Of course, marriage is actually a way to do it.

In Sean's opinion, the Duchy of Jordan is currently trying to preserve the royal bloodline in this way, and the only thing to pay attention to is the appetite for settlement. However, whether Antun chooses to slash the entire royal family of the Duchy of Jordan or accept the marriage arrangement, Sean does not care, his only concern is whether Emily's plan can be successful in the end. Of course, instinctively, he actually prefers to settle down and choose marriage, because this at least proves that Andan is not such a cold-blooded person.

It's just that, judging from the fact that Antun once teamed up with Emily's clan in the Emilian Empire to try to kill Emily, the future Grand Duke may not choose such a gentle way to become a king. As a result, Sean felt compelled to remind Emily to be careful of the ambitious Earl.

However, what really surprised Sean was the arrival of Arkham and Joanna.

These two are the only two survivors of the adventure group that Sean met in the Akaz North Forest. At that time, Sean felt that the strength of these two people was very strong. And the potential is also good, the main thing is that Arkham has some experience in territorial management. Perfect for Emily, who is in dire need of manpower. It's just that when Sean rushed back to the Grand Chapel of Marz, he didn't see these two people, thinking that these two people had their own ideas. She didn't come to Emily, so she didn't say anything more in her heart with a little disappointment.

But they didn't want to, these two people finally came to join Emily, especially when Emily was undergoing a drastic slaughter-style reshuffle in the God of War Church, the refuge of these two people was particularly important. Because Emily is not really around her, there is really no talent who can be applied - the clerical work of the God of War Church can be selected from other uncorrupted junior staff, and the work of the God of War Knight guard of the Mars Grand Sanctuary can also be handed over to the former God of War Knight Shawshank, who was exiled to the town, to be in charge of the commander.

It's not a problem in terms of strength. With Emily's current status as the agent of the god of war, she can forcibly improve the strength of believers at a certain time.

The real problem is the three Church of Mars armies that have now been returned to Emily.

Born in Emily's Rose Mercenary Regiment, the deputy head of the Rose Mercenary Regiment, a family knight from Emily's family, Dinny can be in charge of one. Emily doesn't want to be very good at what his abilities are, but at least he has to make sure that this army is loyal and obedient enough, so Dinny is naturally the best person - anyway, the ability to command battles can be slowly cultivated the day after tomorrow, especially with the current situation of the God of War Church. There is time for Dinny to learn.

But with the remaining two armies, there is no way to solve this problem.

Therefore, the arrival of Arkham must have helped Emily solve this problem, especially since this is also a believer in the god of war Marz. Emily can be shown the identity of the saint and the miracles of the agent of the god of war. To deter this believer, coupled with the fact that Sean saved his life, can ensure that Arkham will not rebel. And he used to be a lord, and he had the same experience as Emily in leading a group. In terms of command, it is possible to touch the bypass.

As a result, there is only one army left without a commander. This problem is easy to solve.

Even if it doesn't work, Sean can ask William to send a commander over, and he can even teach Dinny and Arkham. In today's Void Principality, William has cultivated a large number of middle and lower-level commanders, and their theoretical knowledge has indeed been almost learned, but what they lack is the ability to fight in actual combat, after all, the position of the Void Principality is destined to make it difficult for these commanders to have the opportunity to fight.

But the Northern Duchy Confederation is different.

Here, there are all kinds of actual combat experience, not to mention small-scale conflicts, even large-scale wars are common. Sean can completely use the Federation of the Northern Duchy as a commander's actual combat training base, and send a steady stream of talents here for actual combat training, after all, with Emily, the agent of the god of war, there is no need for Sean to worry about something bad happening.

It's just that there will definitely be losses, after all, the reason why famous generals on the side of the Northern Duchy Federation are rare is because many commanders fell when they became famous.

When it comes to the number of commanders killed, the chaotic Northern Duchy Federation is the largest on the continent.

By the time all these things were arranged, with the intervention of Andrew and Sean, the three legendary powerhouses belonging to the God of War Church were also completely tempered. Especially since the three of them are all followers of Marz, the god of war - basically, Emily is now equivalent to a GM in the Church of the God of War, and she can modify the strength of any believer at will, and this complete cheating ability is the real reason why all of Emily's decrees, no matter how ridiculous, can be issued and implemented without hindrance.

Of course, this kind of modification is not omnipotent, and there are also certain limitations, and the magnitude of the adjustment cannot be too large.

After being in a coma for more than twenty days in the battle of fate, Lévi finally woke up in a room in the Grand Chapel of Marz.

And with Levi's awakening, Sean, Andrew, Enkos, Bess and others soon received the news.

Sean knew that the day when he would go to the Great Floating Library had finally come.

It's just that at this moment, he suddenly remembered Cecilia who was far away in the Void Duchy. (To be continued......)
