Chapter 941: The 1st Knights
After the inauguration ceremony of the new High Priest of Order, the Orthodox Church Alliance meeting began immediately.
In a high-end banquet hall in the Holy See, Creed was responsible for accompanying the religious leaders.
Although the branch gods of the order had just forced the death of their main god not long ago, this did not affect the warmth and friendliness of everyone at this moment. Everyone seemed to be reunited with old friends for many years, and the atmosphere was warm and familiar.
Everyone is very realistic and clearly understands that the battle between gods is a matter for the circle of gods. As humans, we naturally pay more attention to our own present.
The banquet went very smoothly. They only needed to eat and drink here to show intimacy and express their political stance.
The main hall, which is responsible for negotiating specific alliance matters, is like a noisy vegetable market.
Prodalas holds a small black hammer, like the host at an auction. Every time he finalizes a project, he smashes the hammer. The hammer has a lightning effect, and the electric snakes it pulls out wander around the walls and ceilings of the venue.
Originally, Karen should have left the Holy See at this time, but the unplanned position of acting high priest forced him to stay and help share some of the burden.
Therefore, he sat behind Prodras throughout the whole process and did not participate in the specific discussions of the affairs. He just acted as a qualified mascot.
In fact, with Prodalas presiding over the situation, Karen really didn't have to worry about anything.
The banquet over there was held ten times in ten days, and I wanted to change the theme every day. The alliance meeting here went on for ten days and nights without stopping.
At first, the members of the delegation all took their own psychoactive potions. Later, when the potions they brought were not enough, they all used the psychotropic potions provided by the order. At the same time, the Holy See also arranged for hundreds of priests to be stationed at the venue to help with treatment.
and blessing.
Finally, the specific alliance regulations, rules and regulations, division of responsibilities, resource provision and other important provisions were determined.
The ecclesiastics held a collective public meeting, and Creed, as the representative, read out the alliance announcement.
Since then, an organization based on orthodox theology was formally established and named the Holy Alliance.
On the night the announcement was issued, many large, medium and small churches issued announcements, explicitly or covertly opposing and criticizing this immoral practice of orthodox theologians.
It does not involve faith, does not involve taking sides, and does not involve one-on-one historical grievances. When the major, medium and small churches try to rely on the returned God to improve their own style and launch an upward attack, the orthodox theocratic religions consider their own fundamental interests and use class as the basis.
unit, began to suppress downwards.
The Cult of Kosmos is not interested in this kind of behavior, but the main goal of the Cult of Kosmos is to target gods, so they are happy to see such a scene.
Two days after the announcement was issued, there were nearly a hundred large-scale frictions in the church circle, mainly initiated by the Orthodox Church, which paved the way for the subsequent large-scale annexation.
The war between humans and gods and the war between humans also officially kicked off under this background.
…
"Thank you for your hard work, Protaras."
Karen and Prodalas were walking in the garden corridor of the Holy See. The place is lush and green, the scenery is beautiful, and the appreciation value is extremely high. It can be said that every bouquet of flowers and every piece of grass has a profound history.
"It is also because the mutation occurred early and formed strong external pressure. Otherwise, 10 days would not be enough."
"Now, it's really time for us to go to the battlefield. Have we made all the arrangements?"
"Dickno has formulated a detailed combat plan, but there is an issue that needs to be decided and resolved first, whether to dispatch the First Knights first or other knights."
"What about Dickno's tendencies?"
"His suggestion is that they are all OK, but it is best not to mix them together, otherwise the efficiency will become very low."
"What about Creed? What does he think?"
"High Priest Creed prefers to use other Order Knights first. You know, Captain Da'an and the others are almost exhausted. If they are not allowed to go to the battlefield to face the gods directly, they are afraid they will go crazy.
"
"They are all testing, even the Knights."
Karen sighed, "As soon as High Priest Norton left, everything on the outside began to compress inside."
In the past, the group leaders would only dare to put on a grievance face and think of ways to be seen by the high priest in order to comfort them. How dare they directly issue official letters to disclose their demands like now.
"This is inevitable. Even with your strong support, it will never be as good as when Norton was here."
"Let's mobilize the First Knights first." Karen made a decision, "High Priest Norton said at the time that such an honorable thing as dying must be done in an orderly manner."
"The regimental leaders will gather at the War Academy in the afternoon to receive the battle plan, which is equivalent to forcing the palace."
"I'll go."
Karen walked out of the yard and went to the Office Temple first.
The office temple returned to its former bustle, and strips of light reappeared, guiding the priests who came to do business one by one to the area where the high priest was located.
Although Creed was unable to handle all matters as energetically as High Priest Norton did, there was another desk in front of his desk, and Alfred was sitting behind him.
Alfred has the inheritance of phantom beasts and has been favored by Tiranus, so he can recreate the situation when High Priest Norton was handling official business.
However, Alfred would also deliberately leave out some tasks that were not difficult to handle at previous levels for Creed behind him, so that he could live a fulfilling life.
From this, we can also see that Creed has a clear positioning of himself. Even if the former high priest did keep Alfred by his side for a long time before his death, he was ultimately Karen's man.
By using Karen's secretary as his own secretary, Creed was completely defenseless against Karen.
In addition, Creed retained and trusted Prodras, who was mysterious to him, and handed over his war academy to Dickno, recommended by Karen.
Looking at it now, it does make sense for Norton to choose Creed as his successor. Anyone else, even Foden, is likely to be "contaminated" in the supreme core vortex of power and cannot be like Creed.
Red stayed awake like this.
After Karen arrived, Creed stood up, and Alfred touched the quill lightly while working and opened the tea seat.
The ashtray and cigars on the coffee table were gone, replaced by a map.
The map has a total of 12 layers of light and shadow, corresponding to 12 locations. These are areas where gods descend on a large scale.
Therefore, the Cult of Kosmos's enthusiasm for the number "12" is essentially influenced by the God of Order, who even releases the god to follow this number.
Creed sighed: "After the leader left, I clearly realized how relaxed we were when the leader was here."
Karen asked: "Will the Alliance send troops?"
"The main force will still be fought by ourselves. We will ask them to provide resources and war weapons. At most, we will ask them to send one or two main force elites to participate in the war.
I don't want to see a large group of chaotic armies standing there fighting among themselves. This will seriously reduce combat effectiveness. In addition, they are more interested in annexing large, medium and small churches.
They are a group of people who have no place on the stage, so don’t expect them to interfere too much in matters on the stage.”
"You're absolutely right."
"Da'an and the others want to play in the frontcourt."
"We can't just let them do what they want." Karen shook his head, "Only by keeping more people alive can we give the cult a more future."
"Don't you think it would be a pity to use the First Knights?"
"Didn't our ancestors sleep for two epochs just to wait for this day to come? The secrets were reserved for critical moments like this, otherwise they would become misers."
"I agree with you, but do you have a way to convince Da'an and the others?"
"I will."
"I'm not as good as you." Creed smiled, "I originally thought you would say you try your best."
"Right now, it's no longer suitable to be reserved."
"How about I pass on the position of high priest to you now, and I continue to work in the War Academy?"
This was not a temptation, but a sincere statement. Ever since Creed personally put the great priest's robe on Karen that day, he had completely let go of it, as if he had achieved enlightenment. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the initiative to become a bare pole.
"You'd better continue to sit, so that I can be more free and go out to do business."
Creed took out three scrolls from the sleeves of his divine robe and handed them to Karen.
"These are the three decrees. I have used the seal well and left my own spiritual imprint. After you have comforted Da'an and the others, immediately go to the First Knights in my place and formally order the preparations for the formal awakening."
Only the high priest is qualified to mobilize the first knights.
Karen took the scroll in his hand and saluted Creed:
"Respect the law."
…
The meeting hall of the War Council was filled to the brim with 11 full-time captains and 22 deputy captains headed by Da'an.
