Chapter 392 The Battle to Unify the Kingdom

The Kingdom's army on the other side had a fight, but the two sides only met outside the city. It could be seen that the Kingdom's army was preparing to fight in the field with a force that was ten times theirs, but when they saw the dozen or so nearly ten

The morale of the giant who was 20 to 30 meters tall dragging a giant tree of 20 to 30 meters to use as a weapon collapsed. After leaving behind a cannon fodder, the main force ran away.

Imagine what it would be like for a mortal to see a giant three stories tall. No matter how brave the knight is, he will run away. The size difference is so big that even cannon fodder will surrender directly.

In this way, the capitals of the two provinces were captured almost without any blood, and the kingdom directly abandoned these two provinces.

After a quick pursuit, the commanders of the two church armies took the opportunity to seize two more provinces in one go, and their troops stopped only when they reached the border of the province where the royal capital was located.

Of the fifteen provinces in the entire kingdom, Lin Xiao had already occupied seven.

The next seven provinces are located on the other side of the province where the royal capital is located. In the past, the royal city had to be captured.

After receiving intelligence about the war situation, Lin Xiao decisively ordered troops to station at the border and at the same time transferred a thousand more troops.

He guessed that the Holy God might be able to unite successfully.

He is now using almost unlimited resources to grow rapidly without encountering any bottlenecks along the way. The plane has opened up to extraordinary restrictions faster than he expected. Now the plane's restrictions on extraordinary power are estimated to have almost reached the legendary level. According to Lin Xiao

It is estimated that as soon as the extraordinary level that this plane can carry reaches the eighth legendary level, the Holy God will be born.

Of course, the power of the newly born Holy God is still limited by the plane. It will not be too strong at the beginning, and the Kingdom of Noel is not the headquarters of the Holy Church. Even if the Holy God is really born, there will be nothing he can do for a while.

But once the Holy God is born, he can bestow divine magic, and the Holy Church will give birth to priests and other extraordinary professions.

With the territory and foundation occupied by the Holy Church, if this restriction is relaxed, its strength will expand faster than him. By then, it will not be ordinary difficulty to defeat the Holy Church.

Moreover, Lin Xiao is also very worried about something. He is afraid that the awakened will of the plane will designate the newly born holy god as the agent of its will, which is equivalent to the son of the plane.

And this is not the most terrifying thing. What he is most worried about is that the awakened will of the plane will directly incarnate the newly born holy god and directly occupy its divine body, which will be troublesome.

When the will of the plane comes in person, they are equivalent to fighting against the entire plane. The plane's rejection alone is enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention the blow from the entire plane.

Therefore, he had to make more preparations, and the most important thing was that he had to be promoted to a totem lord before the holy god could completely master his divine power. Only by becoming a totem lord with the privileges granted by the crystal wall universe could he fight against the will of the plane.

The Kingdom of Noel probably also knew about this, and the two sides then had a tacit understanding to confront each other on the boundary between the two provinces, without crossing the boundary.

Less than three days after the actual truce, Lin Xiao summoned his subordinates for a secret meeting. The next day, Alfonso sent a large number of messengers to all the lords of the seven major provinces in his territory, ordering them to gather at the Dell Cathedral of Life.

At the meeting, Alfonso officially announced several major events, including the establishment of a principality based on the existing seven provinces and the reduction of the rights of the lords.

The main purpose of establishing a principality is to centralize power so as to coordinate territory and the army.

The reduction of lords' rights mainly focuses on three aspects: military power, coinage power, and law, that is, depriving the lords of the army, not establishing a large-scale private army, not allowing private printing of coins, and abolishing all territorial laws and formulating unified laws.

All the lords basically agreed to the establishment of a principality. After all, he was already the actual ruler of seven provinces and had the qualifications to establish a principality.

However, the motion to reduce the rights of the lords was opposed by all the lords, and all the lords present at the meeting, large and small, were 100% opposed.

This objection was of course useless, Alfonso was already making preparations when he summoned them.

As soon as the negotiations broke down, the church and the team that Alfonso had already sent took action at the same time, first detaining all the summoned lords, and then disarming each territory by force or other means.

There may have been disturbances during this period, but there was no lord to preside over it, and there were only sporadic resistances in various large and small territories, which were suppressed one by one.

Alfonso did not deprive the lords of their territory, but only deprived the territory of all troops, removed redundant checkpoints in the territory, took away most of the territory's independent authority and ownership of some strategic resources, and restricted the territory from establishing an army again.

Doing this will definitely make the lords resentful, but they have lost their force and can no longer resist.

And he didn't do anything. The lord's privileges were not cancelled, he just lost his military power, and he also retained the authority of a limited guard. Therefore, most nobles with no ambitions did not react much to this, and this kind of lord was the most popular among all nobles.

The majority of the lords.

Moreover, Alfonso established an inspection department under the guidance of Lin Xiao to monitor the major lords. Once any abnormalities are discovered, they will be arrested and their territories will be deprived of them.

Time passed as the territory was gradually digested. Two months later, Alfonso announced the establishment of the Principality of Alfonso, with its capital in Dell City and the Church of Life and Wisdom as its state religion.

At the same time, the four Nightmare Sons united again to defeat the combined army of the Church Knights and the local lords in the Orm Province on the other side of the kingdom. They captured Orm City in one fell swoop and quickly eliminated the surrounding resistance with Orm City as the center.

He intends to capture the entire province in his hands.

Half a month later, in the neighboring province of Ghana, three sons of the spiritual realm also united and mobilized all their forces to launch an attack on the provincial capital of Ghana.

The troops came to the city, rested briefly and then attacked the city.

Eight days later, the information about the defeat of the Sons of the Spirit Realm appeared in Lin Xiao's hands. He remained silent after reading the information.

An hour later, Alfonso and the Knights of Saints appeared at the cathedral. He handed them the information and said in a deep voice:

"Our advantage is gradually disappearing, and when they are ready, they will pose a greater threat to us, and we need it."

He pointed in a certain direction on the sand table in the hall.

"boom!"

A ten-meter-tall giant, wearing steel plate armor that was thicker than red bricks, rushed to the city wall with a hail of arrows in front of a boulder the size of a house. He picked up the boulder and smashed it down, breaking the wall for more than a dozen times with one blow.

After opening a gap, the follow-up troops rushed forward and rushed into the city.

The defenders in the city declared their surrender in despair after the kingdom's marshal was captured alive by two paladins who broke into the city. The city of Bosa fell. In the past few months, the kingdom's main force, which had been transferred from various places and accumulated nearly 19,000 people, all surrendered.

When the news came, the kingdom was shaken, and the Church Knights on the other line of defense quickly withdrew to the royal capital.

The most practical feedback is that Alfonso secretly met with many special envoys that night.

Five days later, the big lords of the three provinces united with the big and small lords to announce the expulsion of the Holy Church, leaving the Kingdom of Nore and joining the Principality of Alfonso.

At this time, the church forces in these provinces had been transferred away before, and there was almost no strength left, otherwise they would not dare to do this.

So far, the kingdom has fifteen provinces, and the Principality of Alfonso occupies ten.

The Sons of Nightmare jointly occupied one, leaving only four in the Kingdom of Nor.

And these four are also in internal chaos. The main war faction and the capitulation faction are fighting each other, and the chaos is chaotic.

At this time, the main force of the Principality of Alfonso had already arrived at the capital of King Noel, confronting the last force of the kingdom, which was mainly composed of church knights. As for other provinces, most of the previous forces surrendered with that battle, plus

There was internal chaos, and no troops could be mobilized to support the royal capital at this time.

Under the Royal City of Noor, there is a camp established by 25,000 elite soldiers. The main force is 5,000, and the other 20,000 prisoners are located behind the camp and have not participated in the battle. Fifty giants ten meters high and wearing thick plate armor stand on the

Inside the camp, huge psychological pressure was put on the defenders on the city wall.

Not to mention that they have never seen such a huge giant, there are legends of giants in some myths and legends books, and there are many legends about powerful holy knights in ancient times slaying giants or giant beasts, but those are just legends, they really appeared in front of them.

, there are so many more, and the key point is that they are frantically wearing a layer of full-body plate armor that is thicker than bricks, including face armor, which directly makes them scream, even if they have a firm belief, even if they are comforted by a priest's magic,

Their morale also hit rock bottom.

Yes, a priest has been born in the Holy Church at this time, not long ago.

Lin Xiao also received an attack on the city of Ghana from several sons of the spirit realm from the province of Ghana. During this battle, priests appeared in the Holy Church defending the city and displayed divine magic, thus stimulating an astonishing fighting spirit and morale.

He was able to hold back several elite members of the Sons of the Spirit Realm and defeat them.

It was after receiving this news that Lin Xiao did not dare to slowly digest the existing territory, directly attacked and captured the main force of the kingdom, and attacked the royal capital in one go.

It is now certain that the Holy God has been born, but he is too far away from the Kingdom of Noel, and he is permanently stationed in Dell City, where the believers of the Holy Church are extinct, so he did not sense its birth immediately.

Fortunately, it has just been born, and it has just been able to grant divine magic. There are not many priests who can truly master divine magic, so there is still a chance.

After a short rest, the army left the camp, and twenty giants with thick plate armor came out of the city, walking towards the city wall with heavy steps and carrying a heart-pounding pressure.

The morale of the defenders on the city wall plummeted, even the knights of the Holy Church.

Although they are devout in their faith, it is useless to face such a terrifying giant no matter how devout they are.

Several priests of the Holy Church went to the top of the city to demonstrate magical skills to boost morale. Although they were just simple blessings, they could indeed boost morale.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao chuckled, took a step forward and appeared in mid-air, immediately causing a burst of exclamation.

Although the spiritual energy recovery has begun to show its extraordinary power, no one can fly out of thin air yet. His skill is quite miraculous.

But that's not the most amazing thing, the most amazing thing is, naturally.

He took out a large solid gold book that looked like a door panel and opened it. He murmured something in his mouth. The pages of the book, which were full of gold texture, turned to a certain page. With a move of his empty hand, a ball of golden light on the page condensed into a ball of light and slowly rose.

Everyone's eyes fell on this ball of light.
