?While vigorously suppressing Protestantism on the secular side, the Holy See began to attack Augsburg.《》

It has never been the style of the Holy See not to fight back when beaten.

If you are hit, you are not allowed to fight back. If you fight back, you will be accused of being a heretic. This is the style of the Holy See.

Even if it is not certain that Augsburg was behind the series of events.

But since Augsburg acted as the guardian of the Protestants, it must have something to do with these things.

If you want to completely attack Protestantism, you must first eradicate Augsburg.

At the beginning, the Holy See adopted a simple and crude response, which was to organize a force composed purely of Paladins to go to the discussion openly and label Augsburg as a heretic.

The crusade is justified.

But the Holy See has obviously underestimated the importance of the God of Money and God in the minds of royal families in various countries.

God is important, but food, drink, and toilets cost money. Everyone borrows money from Augsburg to fight wars now. Members of the Fugger family travel around the world and are treated as honored guests. They have a good relationship with the royal family.

If Augsburg is labeled a heretic, if there is no movement from the royal families of various countries, not to mention whether Augsburg will withdraw the loan in anger, just the reputation of being friends with heretics is enough to make the royal families of various countries drink a pot.

, especially now that all countries are in the midst of a civil war between Protestants and Catholics, and the name of righteousness is even more prominent. It is conceivable that once the Holy See's statement spreads, those Protestants will immediately take the name of heresy.

On the head of the royal family.

So the royal families of various countries opposed it and made it clear that they could not accept Augsburg as a heresy.

The Fugger family is a family with such a long heritage, how noble their bloodline is, how gentle they are in dealing with things, and how willing they are to lend money. Although they charge a bit harsh interest rates, they are definitely good and orthodox people.

How could such a character be a heretic?

The Holy See must have lost its mind.

The Holy See is still unable to reveal the fact that the Holy Knight was killed by a mage from Augsburg.

You must know that the corpses of the dead assassination paladins are still hanging in various protestant gathering points. In order to win justice and sympathy, the Holy See insisted that those paladins actually went to promote the glory of the Lord and save disaster, but were shamelessly assassinated by the protestants.

Yes, at this time, if he suddenly said that it was Augsburg who killed him, it would be too disrespectful to people's intelligence.

Some royal families who were familiar with them thought it was because the Holy See failed to borrow money from Augsburg. They were so angry that they even patted their chests and planned to be peacemakers and were willing to build bridges for the Holy See to borrow money. Some royal families earnestly advised the Holy See not to be in the midst of the Protestant trend.

During the war, wouldn't it be nice to have a 3P if you established a new enemy? What's more, some people directly threatened that if Augsburg was invaded, they would directly surrender to the Protestant Church. Various statements were basically based on the royal families of various countries and the Austrians.

The benchmark is the closeness of Gersburg's relationship and the amount of money borrowed.

The Holy See had no choice but to take back the heresy label that had just been slapped on it, and the originally upright team of Paladins also turned into a secret operation. Of course, the so-called secret operation did not openly display the banner, but in fact no one could hide it.

Live, but this is how things are in the world. What everyone is arguing about is just a name. As for the actual situation, it will be decided by the final result. Since the Holy See is determined to go against Augsburg, as long as there is no need to crusade heretics

Just do whatever you like. Augsburg has been in Europe for so many years and dares to borrow money from the royal family without fear of repudiation. It is not an easy character to deal with.

A team of about a thousand knights quickly organized and marched towards Augsburg, intending to enter Augsburg and capture Jacob II alive.

As a result, the team was ambushed halfway.

There were three to four thousand mages who suddenly rushed out. They fought more and more, and they were all proficient in spells. According to the last surviving paladin, the whole process was described as a massacre.

At that time, the team was halfway through the valley when they heard a sound of cannons. A team came out from behind and in front of them. Countless ambushes stood on the cliffs on both sides. Scrolls fell like raindrops, and the paladins who were only good at close combat were beaten dizzy.

There was no direct contact with the enemy, so he made eight stops out of ten. When he came closer and made contact again, the opponent smashed the scroll in the face face to face, without giving you a chance to swing the sword. The remaining two stops were only three blows.

Five to two places were eliminated, and the surviving paladin only managed to escape because he was knocked unconscious by the lightning scroll and was crushed under a pile of corpses.

According to the conservative estimates of the survivors, in the first wave of attacks alone, the opponent used at least four to five thousand scrolls. Even if they did not use spells to replace them with stones, these thousands of stones would be enough to drink a pot.

Only then did the Vatican suddenly realize that the real name of the heretic they were preparing to deal with was the God of Wealth!

Damn it, I’ve never seen anyone fighting like this, it’s like using money to hit people!

Scrolls in those days were all made by hand. A slight oversight in any process would lead to wasted efforts, and lower-level mages simply did not have enough mana to make scrolls. Unlike now, where it is all industrial and streamlined work, and scrolls are flying all over the sky.

, people in Eastern Europe used scrolls as grenades, and a small battle would require at least 1,800 of them. Scrolls at that time were still luxury goods, and all magic forces kept them like treasures, and they were reluctant to part with them easily.

Use. To spend thousands of moves on a battle like Augsburg is simply crazy.

After this battle, not only the Holy See was shaken, but the entire European magic world was also shaken!

Making a scroll is not just about having money to buy materials, but also requires sufficiently high-level mages. Like Augsburg, if you don't master the simple scroll-making method, then there are enough high-level mages, so many that it will be daunting.

situation.

All of a sudden, various magical forces in Europe that had been suppressed by the Holy See for a long time were about to make a move, and some impatient people secretly went to Augsburg to make contact.

This time, Augsburg was no longer secretive.

They all started to show their true feelings to the Holy See. If they didn't make it clear, it would be easy for the red-eyed Holy See to label them as heretics. This label was still quite useful in Europe at that time.

So not long after the battle ended, Augsburg communicated with the magic powers from all over Europe and publicly adopted the banner of the Gelbhalstch Priory, claiming to be a magic family with a long heritage. It had been living in seclusion somewhere east of Venice.

In the secret valley, he was born and walked on earth later, and his original lineage can be traced back to the years when heaven and hell were fighting for hegemony in the human world.

That magnificent scroll battle was the best proof of Augsburg's strength. The major magic forces immediately accepted Gelbhalstch's identity as a monastery and recognized him as a member of the European magic world.

Augsburg's quick action made the Vatican feel like a mute swallowing yellow lotus, unable to express its pain.
