The flashing fireworks broke the tranquility of the royal capital. Many of the people in the royal capital who had just experienced the war almost thought that the war had started again. They were all scared to death. Even when they saw the beautiful fireworks outside the house, they couldn't help but worry whether it was some kind of strange witchcraft.

Fortunately, no one rushed in after waiting for a long time, and these civilians who had experienced the war began to watch the unique fireworks show.

"It's so beautiful!" Johnny stared at the bright night sky. Colorful fireworks kept blooming, and the flashing fireworks even overshadowed the brilliance of the stars.

"Is this also made of gunpowder?" Johnny turned her head and looked at Lynn. In her impression, this unique black gunpowder was a very terrifying alchemical powder.

Whether it was the thousands of elite guards who were destroyed in the harbor town, or the muskets and cannons that could penetrate armor and split stones, their power was demonstrated to the fullest.

But this time, Johnny saw the other side of gunpowder. These fireworks were like small cannons, but what flew out of them were not cannon fire that killed people, but beams of fireworks that were brighter than the stars...

"A sword can be made into a plow, and a plow can be made into a sword. It all depends on how the person with the knowledge wants to use it!" Lin En said with a smile. "It's like thunder magic. You can use it to kill people, or you can use it to light up the night..."

“Perhaps one day when there is no more war, more wizards will be willing to learn these construction magics and use the power of magic to improve everyone’s life.” Lin En said with emotion.

In the future, perhaps there will be architectural wizards who are proficient in cement mixing and steel structures, or engineering wizards who are proficient in the manufacture and repair of various tools.

"That day will definitely come!" Johnny said confidently. Everything Lynn had said so far had come true, and she believed that this day would not be too far away.

"Dean Lin, don't you guys come over for a few drinks?" Alok and the others gathered around the campfire waved and greeted them.

Lydia on the side was carefreely blending in with the crowd, drinking with the soldiers, gulping down a large glass of Guluo wine, and received warm applause from everyone.

I can’t drink in this body...Lin En wanted to refuse, but then he thought that this would be a better idea, so he didn’t want to spoil everyone’s fun and joined in with a smile.

Normally, they were often troubled by the strange questions given by the dean, and now that they had the chance, they naturally wanted to "retaliate".

Lin En was fully aware of the little thoughts of Alok and the others, and he accepted all the drinks, drinking one cup after another without changing his expression at all.

In fact, he had secretly decomposed all the wine into basic elements. After all, he was just a magic projection now, so he couldn't drink it even if he wanted to.

Until someone remembered that the dean should still be in Yieta, but it was too late now. The drunk Alok and others had already fallen down.

…

The next day, when the first rays of morning light shone on the royal capital, Redel woke up and rubbed his head, which was swollen due to a hangover from drinking too much yesterday. There was a strong smell of alcohol all around.

The square was filled with people lying on the floor tiles. The miners, with red faces, lay on the dirty, wine-stained ground in an untidy manner, snoring loudly.

Redel walked forward to wake up Ham and the others, and then asked them to wake up one by one and clean up the messy square together.

Although the battle is over, there are still many things to deal with within the kingdom. For example, each church in the territory is guarded by priests and bishops. It would be difficult to deal with if they incited the people to rebel, and the entire kingdom would rise up.

This means that they must resolve these internal troubles as much as possible before the news spreads completely, so that they can prepare for the next war with the empire and the church.

“But the entire kingdom is so large, and there are probably no less than two hundred territories where the church is stationed. It is not an easy task to eradicate them in a short period of time.” Marquis Gard, who was promoted to the chief minister of the kingdom, said with a frown.

"We can use the speed advantage of the airship and cooperate with the lords of various places to implement the decapitation tactic. A few wizards plus a hundred musketeers are enough to ensure the destruction of a church!" Lin En said thoughtfully. "If the speed is fast enough, we can bring all the core areas of the kingdom under our control in a few days. As for other places, we can only take time."

"Perhaps we can also consider spreading some false news to lure those bishops to the capital." Anthony suggested.

Hattarton's eyes lit up. This was also a good idea.

Although the battle in the royal capital two days ago was extremely fierce, with thunder and projections of gods, the final outcome of the war was limited to the royal capital due to their blockade of the news.

I'm afraid no one in the churches of the various territories could have imagined that such a huge capital would fall overnight, and that Anluk, who had an absolute advantage, would perish so easily. They could have used some time to lure those bishops who had not yet received the news to the capital...

Amid the discussion, a plan was soon drawn up to completely eradicate the church's influence from the kingdom. Generally speaking, the decapitation operation and the deception plan were carried out together. Depending on the distance of the territory from the royal capital and the strength of the local church itself, it would be decided whether to lure them to the royal capital or directly eliminate them.

"Should we keep the death of the late king a secret for now?" a noble of the kingdom suddenly suggested.

The whole hall was suddenly filled with the sound of a pin drop. Although this proposal was somewhat offensive to the current King Hattar, it was indeed a possible solution.

If we pretend that King Bazel is still alive and the kingdom still obeys the orders of the empire, then perhaps we can delay or even avoid this war.

The empire and the church are like a towering mountain, enough to suffocate anyone.

Hattar's face looked extremely ugly. He was the one who most disagreed with this proposal because it meant that he, as the king, would not be recognized by the people of the kingdom for a long time.

"That might be difficult. The death of a cardinal cannot be kept secret." Lynn shook his head and rejected the proposal outright.

If we could capture him alive, seal his five senses and lock him up like we did with Cosimo, maybe we could prevent him from returning to the Kingdom of God as a soul.

Not to mention that Anluik had summoned the projection of that person's will before. Now the top leaders of the church may have received the oracle and learned about the fall of the kingdom.

The Church will never allow a kingdom to escape its control...
