According to the Holy Church's law, every city in the Tanggulas Empire must have a church. When the population of the city reaches a certain size, the church must expand accordingly.
In this expedition, the Holy Church must send enough slaves to build a church with a cardinal in the north of Qinyin. If this church is destroyed, the Holy Church must rebuild it. In other words, if he sends hundreds of thousands of slaves, the Holy Church must give him the corresponding support.
This support has no bottom line. Otherwise, the Holy Church will deny his own law.
This is a bottomless pit. It will be extremely difficult to build a church in the north of Qinyin and defend it. At that time, the pressure in Four Elements City will be much less, and the Holy Church will have to focus its attention there. Even the war at the border of Jialou Lan will be forced to turn to defense.
"Let the dukes do this. Vinny, go and find Gerrard." The emperor said excitedly.
"As you wish, Your Majesty." The mage Vinny left the palace and went to contact the nobles in the city. As long as these nobles jointly request the emperor to attack Metatlin, the Holy Church will not be able to stop it. The nobles have a good reason. An entire legion and a duke's son died in the far north.
Four Elements City is turbulent. The bad news seemed to have grown wings and flew across the Myers Continent. It also flew to Skochinya City.
Skochinya started as a mercenary. The royal bloodline came from the Skochinya Mercenary Group. When the Skochinya mercenary group was at its peak, it was said that it had 300,000 cavalrymen.
300,000 magic cavalrymen was enough to build a powerful empire. But now, the number of magicians has decreased sharply, and most of them are concentrated in the Qinyin Empire. The number of cavalrymen in Skochinya can only be maintained at about 50,000.
These 50,000 cavalrymen, known as the Royal Fortress, are the main elites of the Skochinya royal family.
In the Empire Square, the emperor of the Skochinya Empire is having a military parade. The Empire Square of Skochinya is even bigger than the Radiance Square of the Sacred City. More than 100 mercenary groups participated in this military parade. In addition to the nobles of the empire, there are also envoys invited from the other three empires.
Today is the millennium anniversary of the Skochinya Empire. His Majesty has already sent envoys to the other three empires. Even the warring Qinyin and Tanggulas Empire did not reject this proposal.
Both sides wanted to obtain Scochenya's support, even though they knew that Scochenya only cared about money. No matter how good the negotiations were, they would still have to fork out money in the end. Only then would they be able to get the Scotia nobles to send out their troops.
Among the four great empires, the Skokenya population was the least, with less than 200 million. However, the number of farmers in Skocania was rather low. Craftsmen, mercenaries, merchants, and herdsmen were the majority of the population.
This was a country of mercenaries, and Thieves were also flourishing. This puzzled the other three empires.
The Emperor of the Scotia Empire, Saint? Donnie? Scochenya sat on a high platform. Beside him were the envoys of the other three empires. The mercenaries that walked past the parade platform were well-equipped and a murderous aura enveloped the entire square.
The envoys of the three empires had their own thoughts as they silently watched the Skochinyan flexing their muscles.
The first group that walked past the platform was the Royal Swordsman Regiment. This was a mixed army consisting of chariots, heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, armored swordsmen, long-range infantry, and even a rarely seen group of mages.
Of course, the Emperor of Scochenya would not show off his most secretive strength. However, the mixed army in front of them made the envoys of the three empires understand the strength that the Skochinyan people possessed.
Next was the Dragon and Rose Mercenary Group. This mercenary group was stationed at the border and was also the number one mercenary group in Scochenya. The leader was a Gold Sword Saint, and the leader's wife was a 9th Rank Magic Shooter. This combination was the most ideal mercenary group structure.
However, because of the tense situation in the Jiaroulan Empire, the leader of the Dragon and Rose Mercenary Group did not come personally. Instead, he sent a small team of mages and the Magic Beast Battalion to participate in the parade.
Scochenya also had Magic Beast Swordsmen, but only the Dragon and Rose Mercenary Group was organized. The mages sent by the Dragon and Rose Mercenary Group had two 8th Rank Magic Shooters. This surprised the envoy of Qin Yin. For a mercenary group to have so many Magic Shooters was simply inconceivable. It seemed that His Majesty was right to send him here.
The Skochinyan people were not as weak as they had imagined. Otherwise, the Tanggulas Empire would not have attacked Qin Yin first, but Scochenya, which was closer to them.
When the second 9th rank mercenary group walked through the square, the envoy of the Tanggulas Empire was also very nervous. This mercenary group had sent out a team of 4000 people, and the leader of each team was a Silver Sword Saint.
Although there were only two 9th rank mercenary groups in Scochenya, the quality of these mercenaries was not inferior to the Tanggulas Empire's Royal Cavalry.
Fortunately, they did not attack Scochenya first. Instead, they captured the rotten Jiaroulan Empire. The envoy of the Tanggulas Empire rejoiced in his heart. Before this, everyone had looked down on the Skochinyan people.
Now, it seemed that Scochenya was the deciding factor in the war between Qin Yin and the Tanggulas Empire.
The envoy of Cloud Current was the most arrogant, but he did not dare to say anything because the emperor of the Skochinya Empire was also a Gold Sword Saint. He was not afraid of the emperor, but he was afraid of the anger of a Gold Sword Saint. At this level, if you were to anger an expert of this level, you would simply be courting death.
An emperor might have some respect for the envoy because of the relationship between the countries, or perhaps he might even be patient. However, a Gold Sword Saint would definitely not have such thoughts.
Just look at His Majesty Donnie. He was sitting there, looking down at the troops below the parade platform. The formless majesty he exuded made everyone speechless. If he had known that this emperor was a 9th rank expert, he would not have taken up this task no matter what.
His Majesty Donnie observed the envoys of the three empires and felt very pleased. Besides showing off his strength, the most important thing this time was to show off his excellent equipment. The location of the battle between the Tanggulas Empire and Qin Yin was very close to the Rhine Duchy. He could provide both sides with a large number of expendable weapons. This time, he would be making a lot of money.
Before Scochenya, there were four great dynasties and countless kingdoms. There had never been a king or emperor like the Scochenya royal family, who only thought about how to get rich.
The conceited emperor had never thought that if Qin Yin or the Tanggulas Empire won, they would be a huge threat to him. The Scochenya people were natural mercenaries. As long as they were paid, they would sell everything to their customers. The Scochenya people were also the best merchants. As long as one could afford it, they would sell everything to their customers.
An unreasonable family had expanded their ideology to the entire empire. Even the Church could not compare to such an achievement. The Church still had to rely on the temptation of God to control their believers and an empire. As for the Scochenya royal family, they simply used gold to corrupt all the Scochenya people.
Just from this point alone, the first emperor who founded the Scochenya Empire was even greater than the God of Light. In less than a hundred years, his faith had spread throughout the entire empire.
Scochenya also had a church, but it was a sad place for the Church. This was because the Scochenya people were almost all fake believers. They were natural born traitors. Their faith in God was extremely fake, and they could become traitors at any time.
The envoys of the three empires knew very well what the Scochenya emperor meant by inviting everyone to participate in the military parade. However, this' good intention 'could not be rejected.
The Cloud Flow people had lost half of the Titan Duchy and had actually started a war with the Tanggulas Empire. Originally, the Cloud Flow people mostly went to Qin Yin to buy equipment as they did not trust Scochenya. However, now that the Scochenya emperor had expressed his willingness to sell supplies, it was what the Cloud Flow people urgently needed.
The Cloud Flow people had a fleet. Although they could not break through the Tanggulas Empire's defense line, they could bypass the Tanggulas Empire and directly come to Scochenya. With the escort of warships, the Cloud Flow merchant ships could transport goods of an astonishing scale.
The Cloud Flow people did not lack minerals, but what they lacked was the ability to mass produce consumables.
Buying bows and arrows was their first priority. On the battlefield of the Titan Duchy, the Cloud Flow people still lacked at least a hundred million arrows. Because they did not have a large scale cavalry, the Cloud Flow people had to have more archers if they wanted to fight the Tanggulas.
What the Tanggulas people lacked was siege equipment. The Qin Yin cities were too sturdy. Every city was built with huge stones. Even the small fortresses had walls that were no less than fifteen meters tall. The Qin Yin's metal arrow towers were difficult to destroy even with divine arts. If they wanted to attack the city, they would have to pay a huge price.
The Qin Yin also lacked armor. Logically speaking, the Qin Yin's magic armor was the best in the world, but it was too expensive. Only the royal family and the main army could afford it. The local nobles could not afford it.
The three empires each had their own needs. The Scochenya people wanted to sell their weapons and let the three empires fight each other. As long as the war continued, the Scochenya people would have endless money.
After the six eighth-level mercenary groups, there were more than thirty seventh-level mercenary groups.
Seeing this, the Qin Yin envoy already had a plan. Didn't the Scochenya people want to earn money? Then let them earn it. He would go back and explain this to the emperor. He would buy a large number of Scochenya's weapons so that the Tanggulas people could not buy anything. Even if they wanted to buy, they would have to raise the price.
If the Tanggulas people wanted to obtain weapons, they would have to pay a higher price.
The Scochenya emperor was inspecting the troops in the imperial capital and plotting against the envoys of the three empires. In the palace of the Cloud Flow people, it was a scene of singing and dancing. It was as if the war of the Titan Duchy had nothing to do with them.
In a three-story palace, people were singing and dancing. Dozens of princes, princes, and princesses were accompanying the emperor of the Cloud Flow people. During the banquet, the wine pots carved from fine jade were changed wave after wave. All the tableware used to hold the dishes was either gold or silver, or jade. Occasionally, there was porcelain, which was also equipment made with magic.
