North of the royal capital, Dorowaja Mountain City.

Thirteen civilian kings gathered here to discuss the future of the four northern provinces.

"Setting on a territory and being crowned by the church, each of you is a king, and the church will divide the four provinces fairly among you."

The four bishops who attended the meeting looked at the thirteen kings present and said calmly, as for representatives from other walks of life, businessmen and small nobles, they are all lambs to be slaughtered.

McKenna, one of the Thirteen Commoner Kings, raised her lips when she heard this. She looked at the archbishops and asked, "If we follow your instructions, who will have the judicial and financial rights in the territory?"

"Of course, the king's things belong to the king, and the church's things belong to the church." The archbishop didn't know why, "We are very fair."

"Will the sacrifices burned during daily sacrifices be reduced?" McKenna asked again.

"No, but we can promise not to increase it." The archbishops frowned, "This is a common practice."

"Since it is customary, then what's the point of standing up if we who don't have enough to eat have sacrificed so much?" Miriam asked from the side.

"You have become kings and created your own families." One of the four bishops said proudly, "With the approval of the church."

"So those brothers who trust us have not changed at all." Vivian touched her knife and said, "We cannot change from dragon slayers to evil dragons."

"Once we turn into evil dragons, we will be like those nobles hanging on the city walls, hacked to death by our brothers because we have violated our original intention." Serena also said seriously with a smile on her face, "And it is not good to lie to others.

.”

"So you want to refuse?" The four bishops raised their brows when they heard this, and then looked at the other civilian kings, "What about you? Do you want to be a king, or do you want to be an ordinary citizen by that piece of surrender letter? Everything you have paid will be exchanged for your life.

All the meritorious deeds I have made are null and void, and I can’t even afford to hire a servant.”

Hearing this, the nine commoner kings showed signs of struggle on their faces, but in the end they all turned their attention to the four queens.

It’s not that they didn’t have this idea, they were resisting. They even wanted to do this when they only led dozens of brothers.

But there were originally more than 300 kings of various sizes in the four provinces, and now there are only thirteen of them left.

It's not because they are strong, but because they stick to their true intentions. Those who want to enjoy being the king of the mountain have already died in the hands of the four of them.

The four archbishops also saw the situation. Those people refused to join the church entirely because of those women. So the first archbishop coughed, and the next second a group of white members broke in.

"What are you going to do!" The nine civilian kings were shocked when they saw this, but the archbishop waved his hand to signal them to calm down.

"Don't worry, it's not you, but the four of them. Don't you think they are too powerful?" The Archbishop looked at McKenna, "You four are together, right? Let me tell you your identities and why we should deal with you.

.”

"You will make up a clever name, saying that we are witches, and then point the finger at the other nine people, saying that they are thugs. Get rid of us. You will support an agent in my team. From now on, you can burn whatever you want in the church."

What, until the next time someone resists, you will do the same thing again."

McKenna counted her fingers and said, "We are not the first group, nor are we the last group."

"You are witches!" the archbishop said angrily, "arrest the four of them!"

"Bang~"

Just when a group of white people were about to take action, the angry archbishop lit up the flames and directly hit the roof of the shed, shocking everyone.

"Why did the archbishop burn? Is this some kind of magic?" McKenna looked at the archbishop who turned into a torch, covered her mouth and said, "It can't be that the archbishop violated the will of the God of Red Flame and was punished by God.

Bar?"

As soon as McKenna spoke, all the people in the day fell into silence. Recently, there were always people handing out flyers near the parish, saying that the higher-ups intercepted their faith and that they did not have enough faith to enter the Kingdom of God after death.

Could it be true?

"Hey, Brother Ada, what are you doing? Speak and refute that witch." The other three archbishops felt that something was not right and reminded them.

The burned archbishop tried his best just by standing still. He listened to his companion's words and reluctantly opened his mouth. As a result, he made a sound and the flames entered his mouth. The next second, the archbishop was smoking inside and outside.

"You have all seen clearly, the Archbishop of the Red Flame God, if it were not divine punishment, what kind of fire could burn him?" Miriam pushed up the glasses on her nose, "We must be reasonable in everything."

"The one-eyed scarf she wears on her forehead is the symbol of the Eye of Wisdom. Don't argue with her, arrest her!" the second of the four bishops ordered.

"Are you sure? You want to test whether you are violating God's will? The believers of the Red Flame Church were burned to death, and I am ashamed of you." Miriam heard this with a look of regret.

As for faith, it was a matter of status and reputation. For a while, the archbishop and the people did not dare to move.

Seeing that they were frightened, Miriam reached for her pocket watch, looked at the time and said to them, "It's seven fifty now. I told my brothers that if I don't show up at eight o'clock, let them

Attack the church."

The faces of the archbishops changed when they heard this, "You are blaspheming the gods and you will definitely be punished."

As he spoke, he winked at the man in the daytime.

"It's useless. Do you want to activate the Red Flame Magic Array?" Vivian took out a box at this time, opened it and pushed it in front of the archbishops, only to see two broken sun slates inside.

"How dare you steal our slate?!" The archbishops' blood pressure rose and they glared at Vivian.

"You opened the door. You can take the capital, but we can't take the mountain city?"

Vivian said, and then looked at the other nine civilian kings, "The four of us have decided to accept the imperial order, and the other party has also given conditions to unite us into the Beida Camp. You will all be the commanders of the three regiments.

, and the four of us are the legion commanders.”

"Those brothers who don't want to receive this salary can be assigned a piece of land, or be given a job in the city, and be exempted from taxes for three years."

"We have a total of more than 100,000 people. What kind of work do these people come to the city to do? Is it just a few workshops, or is it mining?" A commoner king raised his confusion.

"The queen will cooperate with the empire to develop the entire kingdom, build roads, build factories, and start developing police hospitals, schools, postal banks, and transportation in the city. Everyone will have a job, and there will even be a shortage of people for a while. You will reap the dividends of change."

"I can guarantee that I still have 10,000 bank coupons here, which will be placed in the hands of dedicated personnel to set up a relief center. Anyone who has no food due to force majeure can receive relief funds until they find a job."

After speaking, Vivian looked at the nine civilian kings and said, "After I have finished speaking, you can raise your opinions if you have any."

No one spoke. Most of these people got up because they couldn't survive. The ambitious people had already been killed by the four witches when they got to this point.

"Very good. I thank you on behalf of the common people. Our statue will be erected in the mountain city square. Although you are not the king, you can become one of the Thirteen Heroes and be remembered by the world."

Vivian stood up and looked at the nine civilian kings, "Come with me now to greet the new governor sent by the queen."

The thirteen commoner kings left, and the archbishop and Bai Zhou also came out. After all, the smoke in the conference room was too choking.

They looked at the thirteen kings walking away and said with sad faces, "What should we do? Report it to the Holy See?"

"The cardinals said that you should not interfere with them until there is a crisis." The archbishop shook his head, "Let's just wait and see. Within half a year or a year, some of these guys will fall. When that time comes, we will be the ones to start again.

A chance to stand up.”

"Stand up again? Are you saying that we should recognize the church courts as subordinates of the secular courts and reduce sacrificial activities?" asked the third archbishop.

"At least we can't have a head-on conflict with them for the time being. Everything is waiting for news from the Cardinal." The Archbishop sighed, "After all, Archbishop Ada is still burning."

At this time, similar things were happening in not only the four northern provinces, but also the five central provinces and the nine southern provinces. Different from the fact that there were nine civilian kings here, the leaders of the resistance teams in the central and southern trade centers, including the two trade centers, were all disciples of Carmen.

.

They negotiated with churches and localities and finally chose the route back to the kingdom.

Therefore, within a week of becoming queen, Magya was promoted to the throne of emperor in the face of public expectations.

At the same time, the Adizmlet Empire, which Andrew had been looking forward to, also sent an inspection team.

All the citizens of the Imperial Capital Ayr Gang extended a warm welcome.

"Before we received a letter of credence, we were still King Andrew, and now we have become the Great Emperor. It is so unpredictable." The imperial envoy looked at Majia and smiled and said, "Can I meet that Andrew?"

"Sorry, the capital city has been renamed the Al Gang. This shows that the Chapman family has become history." Majia smiled, "And this has nothing to do with who the collaborators are. The main thing is that the conditions we offer each other are not

?"

"Your Majesty is right." The envoy was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.

So the inspection team conducted a month-long inspection of the entire El Bang Empire. They wanted to understand whether this was a complete country, who held the rights, and the feasibility of investment.

In this month, Alison, who was outside the city, took all the brutal bandits and secret workers into her hands.

"The elite team is like this. There are hundreds of thousands who are unqualified, 10,000 are selected, 8,000 are eliminated, 800 are left for martial arts, and 70 are left for interviews." Alison looked at the very neat professionals standing below and said, "

After that, you will all become the imperial guards and nobles, but there is still one last test."

"Such as causing trouble for the Red Flame Church."

A group of captured subordinates did not dare to say anything when they heard this. There were thousands of dens outside the flame flower, and only a few dozen people were left in the end.

They looked at the black goat and wanted to tell the witch in front of them, "We fed your goat."

Chapter 10.1 God’s power is in danger and faith is weakening

After a month of inspection, the envoys sent various inspection data back to the empire. After approval by multiple departments, the aid plan, which was renamed the El Bang Empire, began.

When the Saintess Church sent the expeditionary force to fight in the southern part of the empire, they had already decided on assistance, but they had not finalized what assistance they would provide.

When the Guardsmen won the first battle, the Adizmlet Empire carried out a series of assistance including Project 267.

As a result, the industrial system began to rise rapidly in the Elban Empire, including various supporting factories, resource exploration and people's livelihood construction.

On the edge of the city, they built steam locomotive factories, gear factories, steel factories, and lathe factories. In the wild, they cut down mountains to clear roads, planted trees, and built roads and railways. Inside the city, they built hospitals, welfare institutions, and schools.

Looking at the history of the world, no kingdom has developed so fast. It has completely evolved from a semi-slavery feudal country into an industrial country.

The dirt and feces covering the ground turned into stone pavements, and the streets at night were lit up with street lights. The appearance of the hospital no longer made them pray to the gods for forgiveness just because of a cold, and the improvement of military force no longer made them fear heretics.

In contrast, the church was a little sad. With the appearance of the Minister of Religious Management, they had not offered sacrifices for a long time, and even if they offered sacrifices, they would burn them quietly by themselves.
