Chapter 178 The Hatred of the Solomon Family
The vampires in the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess still listen to the elf brothers.
The elf brother was very straightforward and didn't make a fuss.
The vampire queens and dukes, for political reasons, still allowed some vampires to join the Earth Church.
Although it's only a small part, the Earth Mother is probably quite satisfied with this start, as it makes her disguise more natural. Even if she continues to recruit vampires in the future, it will be based on historical tradition.
After ruling a quarter of the northern continent, Xia'er had reached his limit.
Although the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess has no obvious conflicts with other churches, it is acceptable for other churches to want to preach in the Kingdom of Constantine.
For example, the Church of the God of War and the Church of the Night can proselytize within a limited scope.
The Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom are open to discussing missionary work.
The Church of the Storm Lord didn't target them too harshly.
However, it still met with resistance from all sides.
Even if Chael's attitude was "moderate" enough, these churches still preferred to support different duchies or counties, which were then directly ruled by the churches.
Even if it's just worldly interests, not involving the divine, these churches still tacitly block the expansion of the Kingdom of Constantine.
The three churches, Feng, Zhi, and Bai, are at odds.
The Church of War, the Church of Night, and the Death God faith of the Southern Continent are at odds.
Because many elves joined the Church of the Earth Mother, both the Church of the Earth Mother and the Church of Storms suffered some setbacks.
The various duchies, counties, and feudal lords of different faiths in the northern continent were wary of the expansion of the Kingdom of Constantine.
The Witch Family, the Twilight Hermits, the Morse Order, and other clandestine organizations are operating in the shadows.
In the Northern Continent, there is also a fallen God, who has two loyal angel kings under his command.
Meanwhile, the brilliant students of Chael's generation were also rising rapidly, and the Solomon family began to come into contact with the fallen God.
These gods are hostile to each other, the various churches are fighting each other, and each has formed its own camp. The Solomon family, which inherits the Black Emperor's path, is almost driven mad by their divisions.
Such a weak "country".
We can't attack?
Because this count believed in the eternal sun?
Is this the power of the Eternal Sun Church?
A quick glance at the map reveals that the Northern Continent is densely packed with the territories of various churches.
What if you join a church?
The three churches—Wind, Wisdom, and White—will be targeted by the others if they choose to expand by aligning themselves with any of them.
The same principle applies to the two churches, Black and War.
Solomon studied the map for a long time and found that the largest country was the Kingdom of Constantine, which worshipped the Earth Mother Goddess. This was because the Kingdom of Constantine was located in the west and the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess did not have any obvious hostile forces, so it accepted limited missionary work from other churches.
The Church of Mother Earth was the most suitable, but the Solomon family was a step too late.
The Southern Continent also has its own worshippers of the Aigus family (the Grim Reaper), as well as various smaller factions that secretly worship the God of Spirits... and extensions of various factions from the Northern Continent.
It's just that the civilization is a bit more backward.
The Northern Continent is in chaos and there is still a possibility of independence. If we go to the Southern Continent, we will have to choose between the God of Death and the God of Spirits, right?
The Eggers family's influence is clearly not limited to the Church of Death; they simply cannot compete with such a rival.
The young Solomon picked a few territories in the northern continent that were barely neutral, and took them over as a buffer zone.
He proceeded cautiously, and even after taking control, he dared not make a big fuss. These buffer zones remained buffer zones, scattered in small, fragmented patches on the map, and some of them were even somewhat amusing.
And then it became impossible to make any further progress.
His territory was surrounded by the influence of various churches. He wanted to expand, and these small states were really weak. But as soon as a war broke out, the churches gave him warnings.
The rulers of these small states were all related to various churches in some way.
Is this even a good fight?
Even if the Solomon family could win, so what?
Do they dare to escalate the conflict?
The gods walk on the earth!
The Kingdom of Constantinople.
Chael sat on the throne, watching with amusement as the Solomon family suffered setback after setback.
Arrodes provides daily updates on the situation, highlighting the Solomon family's methods: marriage alliances, bribery, corruption, and instigation.
Progress is slow, but it's better than nothing.
If things go too far, the church will be purged; if the methods are too harsh, the angels will warn.
What use is it for the Solomon family to not be afraid of ordinary angels?
Is this angel really capable of fighting?
Is there a god behind you?
He kept hitting walls... and ended up battered and bruised.
The Solomon family made a difficult decision: they joined forces with the fallen God and chose to cooperate with the true creator.
The Church of Earth occupied the west side, the Church of Storms occupied the east side, the Church of War occupied the north side, and the other churches each had their own territories. None of them could be attacked. The Solomon family was being tormented to the point of ecstasy. Every time they went out for a stroll, they saw old men dressed in various clergy robes.
The Solomon family was seething with hatred! They wanted to become Black Emperors? They couldn't even afford a complete territory, yet they wanted to establish a kingdom and become Black Emperors in such a small place as Remnantburg? Don't be ridiculous.
During this period, almost all wild extraordinary individuals and secret organizations were tacitly suppressed by several churches.
Normal development goes unchecked, but some people want to establish themselves in a certain place and even grow bigger and stronger?
Without a church background, one will be tacitly ostracized by the combined power of several churches.
Even if you want to establish a small state.
In the Northern Continent, without the Church's approval, nothing works.
You can be a bandit king and nobody will stop you, but if you want legitimacy, it's impossible without the church's approval.
The gods don't care about such trivial matters.
The "mortals" in the Church of God do care.
Without the recognition of the Church of the True God, it is unreasonable. These churches are usually divided, but at times like this, they are very tacitly in agreement: either they obediently accept the jurisdiction of each diocese, or they go and become their own kings, or they join a church, contribute to the church, and accept the church's guidance.
In this era, there is no other choice.
An angel from the Solomon family, in order to be promoted to the rank of Prince of the First Order, reluctantly joined a church and worked diligently there.
Finally gaining the church's approval, and through a series of means, subjugating the other states under the church's jurisdiction, they finally obtained a complete territory and established a loose kingdom.
When he was about to charge at the Black Emperor, he discovered that the so-called kingdom was still not under his control, and there were parishes of the church in various parts of the kingdom, and these people were fanatically devoted to the Eternal Sun.
Does this Solomon want to call himself emperor? And does he want to establish and promote a set of strict and complex rules that defy normalcy?
This emperor also wanted the people of the kingdom to have a more devout faith in him.
What do the proud "suns" of the Eternal Sun Church think?
The entire kingdom rejected the "King's" request outright. An angel from the Church of the Eternal Sun personally visited, and the meaning behind his words was very simple: you can be king, but you cannot harm the interests of the Church of the Eternal Sun; the glory of the Lord always comes first.
