Black Iron Crown

In the end, the little emperor came one step too late. In the torrential rain, he ordered the army he led to camp in place to avoid the heavy rain.

However, what he didn't know was that his last nail in the east had been completely pulled out by the prairie people.

When he appeared around Kronborg with his army, he found that the black wolf flag representing Hamel Khan was actually planted in this fortress.

When the little emperor saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect that this castle, which he thought was very strong, fell into the hands of the prairie people so quickly.

"Trash!" The little emperor cursed secretly in his heart.

After occupying such a fortress, the initiative of the war can be said to be in the hands of Hamel Khan. No matter when he wants to start the war, he can completely decide by himself.

If he doesn't want to fight the little emperor, then he just needs to hide in the castle, but the little emperor has to keep fighting with him here, because this is his country.

Of course, how long you can stay in the castle still depends on the amount of food and grass that Hamel Khan has.

The little emperor quickly ordered the soldiers to set up camp three kilometers away from Kalun Fort, preparing to spend time and forcing Hamel Khan to fight himself. He knew that the siege battle would be very disadvantageous for him.

At this time, in the west of the empire, the Church of Rosa had already received the news that Emperor Carter of the Ridka Empire had personally led an army of 70,000 to march eastward. At the same time, they knew that 50,000 of the 70,000 army were serf conscripts.

After receiving the news of the emptiness of troops in the empire, Pope Pollardel of the Rosa Church made a decisive decision.

In recent years, influenced by the establishment of the Colin Church in the empire, the power of the Rosa Church, a holy sect that used to have great influence across the continent, is also declining day by day.

Now there are only seven countries that recognize their tithe rights. You must know that in the past, all countries will recognize their tithe rights, even the kingdom of Ridka, which is huddled in the north, is no exception.

But with the emergence of the Colin Church, after the appearance of this faction, which is similar to the Christianity, where the emperor is the Pope, more and more countries have broken away from the influence of the Rosa Church.

They announced that they would not recognize the right of the Rosa church to pay tithes, and at the same time banned their right to issue indulgences. There was even a king who became king without being crowned by the Pope Rosa.

Therefore, the conflict between the Rosa Church and the western countries is increasing day by day. Against this background, Pope Poladell decided to carry out an Eastern Expedition.

When the Ridka Empire first established the Church of Corin and made it the state religion, the Church of Rosa once called for an Eastern Crusade.

However, the jihad order, which was invincible in the past, lost its effect that time. The western countries assembled an army of 80,000 to march eastward, preparing to force the Ridka Empire to give up this ridiculous plan.

However, a war that they thought was a sure thing has suffered huge visits.

Their 80,000 army was directly defeated by the 100,000 army of Emperor Kafete, and they fled back to their own country with all their losses.

At that time, no more than 40,000 of the 80,000 people were able to return to their home country, which means that more than half of them died on the battlefield.

It was also the failure of that war,

It was also because of that defeat that the western countries fully realized the strength of the empire, and the Church of Rosa gradually lost its authority.

Because of that incident, the prestige of the Rosa Church plummeted. Immediately, several kings announced the banning of the rights and interests of the Rosa Church in the country, and controlled the churches and monasteries in their country at an extremely fast speed.

And the church that has suffered such a dumb loss has nothing to do about it. The country that participated in the war suffered heavy losses just after the jihad was launched. This responsibility must be borne by the Church of Rosa. Therefore, from that time on, the church has gradually lost its rights. The consequences have been planted up.

Now, the empire is weakened, and at the same time, Emperor Carter has brought most of his power into the war in the east. This is naturally a golden opportunity.

Pope Pollard believed that he could re-establish the prestige and power of the church by once again gathering a jihadist army and taking advantage of the opportunity that the other party could not react to attack the mainland of the empire.

The worst is the worst. The countries that have gained so many benefits should always ease their relationship with themselves, right?

This is the idea of ​​Pope Rapodelle. He really can't bear the pressure on himself from the western countries. The sequelae caused by the last organized Eastern Expedition have not yet fully recovered.

Pope Rapodelle is also very tight-fitting, and he knew the news of the decline of the empire early on.

At the same time, the independence of the Grand Duchy of the North and the separation of the royal family from the empire, he is very clear about all these things.

But even so, he didn't dare to launch a holy war again, because he didn't know what kind of cards the empire was hiding, and he didn't know what kind of decision those people in the northern border would make if he launched a holy war.

Although they have gone out independently, can it change the fact that most people in the Grand Duchy of the North are members of the Moland family?

It is normal for brothers to fight against the wall, but who can guarantee that once they initiate a jihad, it will not cause the opponent's backlash, causing them to unite to fight the jihad?

No one can guarantee that the Church of Rosa suffered huge losses during the last jihad. If the Eastern Expedition still fails this time, Pope Pollardel knows exactly what the Church of Rosa will face.

He absolutely cannot let this great religion that has been passed down from the previous year be destroyed in his own hands, absolutely not.

Therefore, after confirming that the little emperor took a full 70,000 army to the east to participate in the war against the prairie people, he dared to make such a determination. , then Pope Pollard really felt that the Holy Father no longer took care of him.

At the same time, he was also secretly rejoicing in his heart, rejoicing that he hadn't been unable to hold back his inner jihad early on, and that he was already so weak that he could still bring out an army of 70,000. This kind of strength made him tremble with fear.

Soon, the order of the jihad was spread everywhere. One by one, the monks left the holy city and rushed to various dioceses to inform each bishop and the country they represented.

Thus, the order of jihad spread throughout the Western countries within two months.

And it is very unfortunate that Mekasha, who just took control of the Kingdom of Bazalan, also received the order of this holy war.

Mekasha was very annoyed by this. He frowned and looked at the bishop in front of him. If she had been in charge of the Bazalan Kingdom for a longer period of time, she could ignore such matters.

But now she is barely in control of the country, and the vassals below are just verbally dissatisfied.

Thinking that she could not resist, Mekasha calmed down and relied on foreign wars to ease domestic conflicts. This was the method that King Emalu had also used at the beginning, and it was very easy to use.
