"Don't take it lightly, Harof!" Vittorio warned.
[Ella] Regardless of the strength of the original body, the Holy See alone is not so easy to deal with. After hundreds of years of development, it has become a behemoth.
On the surface alone, they have to face at least five legendary enemies...
Lin En also nodded. The previous projection of God had shown some kind of power that seemed to be able to distort space and even slow down time, which made him extremely concerned.
This is just an incarnation. I wonder how powerful [Ella]'s real body will be when used.
The discussion on the war lasted for an entire morning, and the parliament responded incredibly quickly, passing on the war orders swiftly.
More than 200 airships assembled in the evening and sailed off into the distance...
The four ironclad ships docked at the Iyeta harbor also sounded their horns and set sail under the watchful eyes of the townspeople.
"The war is about to begin..." Mary muttered to herself as she looked at the airships that covered the sky and the huge armored fleet, feeling somewhat worried.
War is an unfamiliar word to the residents of Iyeta, who have enjoyed peace for a long time. However, in the past, sailors from the Sekas Empire would describe to them in taverns the tragic scenes of lords attacking each other.
Mary could only silently hope in her heart that they could win the war.
But it was a different scene on the airships and ironclad ships. The musketeers who had been sent to the kingdom to carry out missions were boasting about how they easily defeated those tin cans charging in armor, and there were not even any casualties throughout the process.
One lucky musketeer even became the lord of a large territory because he killed a prince...
Others who had made great contributions in the war to capture the royal capital also received generous rewards.
Old York was no exception. Due to his bravery in the battle, he followed Redel and others to seize the city gate. His rank was upgraded from an ordinary private to a non-commissioned officer who could lead a team, and he was also rewarded with ten magic gold coins.
For Old York, who was a hunter two years ago, ten magic gold coins were undoubtedly a huge sum of money. He had never seen what the gold coins looked like before, but now he saw them. Not only were they sparkling, but they were also engraved with extremely beautiful patterns...
These gold coins can be exchanged for piles of wheat, which can provide him with food for most of his life. However, old York is no longer satisfied with just having enough food to eat. He now has higher aspirations.
In addition to becoming a higher-ranking lieutenant, he also wanted to buy a beautiful alchemical internal combustion car and even send his children to a civilian school. In the future, he might be able to join the Alchemical Research Institute and become an assistant to the wizards...
These were things that Old York had never dared to think about in the past, but now they have become something that seems to be within reach.
In addition, Yieta has recently opened a lot of factories and produced many new and interesting gadgets, which made Old York very excited.
For example, there is something called an electric light, which can make the night as bright as the day. It is much more useful than a candle and has become a new fashion in Yieta...
All of this needs to be taken on the battlefield. He is very confident in his marksmanship and can definitely hit whatever he points at within 70 meters.
"I have to aim carefully this time, and don't let those brats get ahead of me again..." Old York clenched the new musket in his hand, muttering to himself.
…
The next day, at noon, in the palace hall of the capital of Hadhrata, all the nobles of the kingdom gathered here, but each of them was silent like a wooden man.
The new king, Hattar, was furious and kept cursing.
"These bastards... deserve to die, all of them..."
Three days ago, Hattar had received the news of the entry of the imperial army. At first, he did not take it seriously because the kingdom's army had already been assembled to deal with this war.
However, the development of things far exceeded his expectations!
The border lords in the eastern part of the kingdom defected one after another and had no intention of resisting at all, so in just three days, they had already killed their way into the heart of the kingdom and quickly took over control of several cities.
Not only that, the lords on the northern border of the kingdom were also ready to move, and several border earls blatantly refused the kingdom's call to action.
How could Hattar not feel angry? He even felt a hint of fear in his heart.
Those nobles who claimed to be loyal to him suddenly changed their expressions. This also resulted in the army of 50,000 that was previously planned to be assembled to fight against the empire being barely able to gather about 30,000 troops in the end.
Moreover, most of them were serfs who were temporarily recruited and lacked training.
Amid Hattar's hysterical roar, nobles like Gad who were loyal to the king showed worry on their faces, but many others were just watching the joke.
They scoffed at the so-called war of independence. Once the Vatican's army arrived, all resistance would be in vain!
However, Hattar placed them under house arrest in the royal capital, so they had no choice but to obey his orders.
The next moment, the tightly closed door of the hall was opened, and at the same time, a voice was heard that was familiar and frightening to everyone present.
"Please relax, Your Majesty Hattar. They are just some lords who cannot see the situation clearly. As long as we defeat the legions of the Church, we can slowly settle accounts with them later."
"Sir Lin, Master Anthony, you are finally here." Hattar looked towards the gate and said in surprise.
Inside the hall, the nobles who had their own thoughts shuddered when they saw Lin En's figure, and quickly put away their little thoughts.
Just over a month ago, they witnessed with their own eyes how the other party raised his hand to trigger the celestial phenomena and destroyed thousands of the kingdom's guards with one blow. The other party even killed the god who came in the form of an incarnation in front of tens of thousands of townspeople in the capital...
The seemingly young wizard in front of them has already become the most powerful and terrifying wizard in their hearts.
