"What! This stupid Hamadi is causing trouble for me," Bishop Wiruga shouted angrily in the bishop's room in the church. The servant in front of him trembled.

What happened in the town square had reached the ears of the archbishop.

"I'll go to the Emperor now to see if His Majesty the Emperor is concerned about this matter, and don't affect my plans!" Bishop Dima muttered to himself.

For the bishop, his plan is to become a cardinal, because in the continent of Cadia, the most noble is the pope, who is in charge of the entire world of holy bishops, followed by the cardinals of every holy bishopric country in the continent of Cadia, they control the life and death of the holy bishops of a country and the most coveted prayer of Dima, so Veruga established the Holy Rhodic Empire, then he will undoubtedly become the cardinal of this new empire! For this temptation, Dima has been looking forward to it for a long time, so he does not allow anyone to disrupt his plan!

In the royal palace of Veruga (in fact, it is the castle of the previous dukes, but it is a little larger than the average castle!)

"Your Majesty, I want to be sorry for today's incident! It's all my usual lax discipline, please ask Your Majesty" Before Dima could finish speaking, Fan Ming interjected, "Oh! No more Bishop Dima, that filthy man has already been sentenced to death by me! We don't deserve to discuss anything for a dead man!" Fan Ming's words were full of murderous aura, he had never had a good impression of these gods of the fish and flesh people, if it weren't for the fear of causing unnecessary turmoil, Fan Ming would have demolished the church in the city and built a private house!

"Of course, Your Majesty the Emperor, I agree with your approach, for such a person who insults the honor of the Holy Lord. You should kill them, and the fewer such people the better!" said Dima flatteringly.

"By the way, Your Excellency, there is one more thing I would like to discuss with you. I intend to abolish the tithes of the people of the Empire, and I have already written a notice about it and posted it. What do you think!" Fan Ming said with an imposing attitude.

"Oh, you mean to abolish tithes, but this" Dima was stunned when he heard this, which is a discussion, and the notices have been posted, which is clearly * He agreed!

"Well, since His Excellency the Archbishop agrees, then let's do it! I have something to do, so I'll go first!" Fan Ming snatched the door and left, leaving Dima alone stunned.

"What's the use of having this cardinal without tithes! It's so hateful! Fanming! Do you really think of yourself as an emperor? Hmph! I'll let you know it's powerful!" said Dima with his fists clenched viciously.

tithes already. In this chaotic continent, tithes have long ceased to be the same as the original unified kingdom of Swadia, and all the tithes collected are owned by the church, and now wars are frequent. As the so-called sky is high, the emperor is far away. So most of the tithes collected were embezzled by the cardinals, and only a pitiful part was handed over to the pope.

Therefore, it is impossible for Dima to make a fuss about tithes for the Pope to punish Fan Ming, not to mention that he knows that the people's support for Fan Ming cannot be shaken by the power of the Church. So he could only figure out his own way, "Your Majesty, what's going on, what does that god stick say!" As soon as he got out of the castle, Lem greeted Fan Ming and asked. As for yesterday's events, Lem also heard about it.

"Leave him alone. Fan Ming said disdainfully. Then he said to Lem, "Lem, how is the training of the new soldiers and sergeants with new weapons recently?"

"Oh, for the sergeants, there is nothing wrong with the training of new weapons, but for the new soldiers," Lem said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, let's go and see what makes you so unspeakable," Fan Ming smiled and patted Lem on the shoulder, jokingly to him.

When I came to the soldiers' training ground, there were not only those Freedom Corps training in the original, but also the 1,000 strong men that Fan Ming had just ordered to be recruited from among the citizens.

They all selected the strongest among the applicants according to Fan Ming's requirements, because Fan Ming knew that his legion could not be said to be a large legion, so he could only develop in a more elite direction, and in more and more in the fine.

As for the sergeants, Fan Ming added a giant shield on the basis of the original pickaxe, which added a layer of protection to them, and now they are training as a team, forming a shield wall, and marching with the shield wall.

But the newly recruited strong men are not very optimistic, because they are recruits and have no discipline, so they are standing on the practice ground in a mess, and the Mo knife in their hands is also a mess.

Seeing this scene, Fan Ming couldn't help but shake his head and said to Lem: "It seems that before this fierce battle, we didn't need them."

"Do you want me to teach these lazy fellows a lesson!" Lem said angrily, because Fan Ming had ordered that soldiers should not be beaten, so Lem did not do anything to these recruits.

"Forget it, it's not that they're lazy, they've done their best, but they're not used to this heavy knife, let alone discipline! Give them a little more time, I'm sure Bush will train them well!" Fan Ming looked at Bush, who was teaching seriously, and said to Lime.

These 1,000 soldiers are the ones that Fan Ming will be included in, and the ironclad soldiers, because in the warehouse of Veruga, the money and food are empty, but there are still more than 2,000 sets of armor, which were purchased from Svadia by the former Duke of Gothras for a huge amount of money, and it is a full set of lobster armor, which he wants to equip his soldiers, but he didn't expect to make Fan Ming's wedding dress, for Fan Ming, these armors can't be bought with money!

On the other side, in the cathedral.

"Damn Fanming, I Dima swear to take revenge! Whoever stands in my way of wealth must die!" said Dima with the cross in his hand.

"Lord Bishop, why don't I report to the Pope and have the Pope excommunicate him, or let the surrounding lords attack him!" said the servant with a sinister smile.

"Hmph, you idiot! Didn't I think about it! Which of the surrounding lords has the strength to fight him! Hey, but then again, the alliance between those lords and pirates now" Dima thought, his eyes turning faster than the moving car, "Haha! That's it! Fan Ming! Since you are blocking my way of money, then I will go and find another way of money, as for you, haha, don't blame me" Dima laughed full of conspiracy.

Then Dima whispered a few words in the servant's ear, and the servant hurried away and went straight to the city gate

Fidenne, coalition camp

"Oh, so the empire of the mud-legged people is actively preparing for war!, not that they are already scared to pee their pants!" Duke Mattas asked the bishop's servant standing below, arrogantly.

"Yes, my lord, they are stepping up their training of the army, hoarding food, and that despicable Emperor Fan Ming is still using his liberal ideas to deceive the pious saints!" said the servant, as if he were criticizing some ungodly cultist.

"What do you mean by calling you, Your Excellency?" said Duke Mattas, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, shaking it with interest.

"The bishop's man says that as long as the royal family can secure him as cardinal archbishop of Rhodok, he will be able to bring some of you into the city and make a 'chopping' gesture in the hands of that abominable van min' servant.

"We can only go in a small number of people, but he has three thousand mud legs around him, and even if my soldiers are valiant, it is impossible for a small number of men to resist three thousand!

"Though there were more than three thousand of them, they were all stationed in the barracks around the walls of the town, and he had only thirty guards with him, not to mention that he often walked out into the streets without them!

Hearing this, Mateas got up and paced back and forth under the gaze of many lords and knights and pirates, in the kingdom of Rhodok, the most powerful are none other than the three major dukes, the dukes of the Veruga clan, the Djerkhara clan, and Aaron's, they all have the qualifications to become kings, and if the royal family has no heir, or the royal family is weak, they can all propose to inherit the throne.

It's just that now the Duke of Veruga has been killed by Fan Ming, and the Duke of Aaron is now the royal family, the king is dead, and there is only a baby king who has not been weaned, so the only one who can afford the overall situation is Duke Mattas, and he is also duty-bound to become the leader of the coalition army.

"Hmph, the archbishop's abacus is too good!" he took a sip of red wine and continued: "Now that Aaron's cardinal is not dead, he will become the new cardinal, don't forget, I still have 7,000 warriors!

"Oh, no, please believe me, your Excellency, their soldiers are definitely not peasant soldiers!" Before he could finish speaking, Duke Mateas had already signaled him to shut up.

"Don't brag to me about the fighting power of those mud legs! as soon as my army arrives, they're going to be scum!" said Duke Mateas, who had had enough of the defeat, snarled angrily at his servants.

"Okay, you go down first, I'll discuss it with my knights!"

After the servant walked out of the tent, the palace minister stood up and said, "Lord Duke, I think this plan is feasible! Although it will take a little risk, the benefits are far greater than the risks! So, it is worth it!"

"Well, just him for a while! As long as the country emperor is dead, Viruga will still need to attack! Isn't that a matter of hand-to-hand capture!" Then the pirate leader 'Hal 'Hal was a fake) also stood up and said.

As they led, more and more nobles and knights stood up to echo them, and who didn't want to win the war without bloodshed!

"Well, in that case, let's settle this battle quickly, and do as you say you will do as you say, and for the suppression of the rebellion, and not with my army!"

The next day, Viruga, in the Royal Palace.

"Lem, have you sent out to find Brimstone back?" asked Lem.

"Your Majesty, I'll go out and have a look!" Lem said and walked out of the hall.

As for sulfur, Fan Ming wants to use him to make black powder! Although the damage may not be large, it has a huge destructive power! (To be continued......
