Chapter 287 Hagia Sophia! (Two in one! Please subscribe!)

Sogn Plains.

After the smoke between the second prince Rez and Odin Lord Alio O'Sullivan cleared, Sogn Plain was in a strange atmosphere of peace.

The Odins were waiting for news from the eastern part of the Norman Empire in the camp, while the second prince Rez was sharpening his sword, preparing to compete with Pitzman for the throne of the Norman Empire.

In the military tent of the Odin people.

Ever since Odin's Marshal Portia Mariano led his army to the east, the princes and nobles of the Odin Empire had begun extremely heated discussions in advance about the distribution of benefits after conquering the eastern territories of the Norman Empire.

After all... the one leading the army was the invincible Odin Marshal Portia Mariano, the most famous military leader in the Odin Empire.

Isn't it easy to clear out possible hidden dangers in the eastern part of the empire?

"Your Majesty, according to your opinion, the royal family should measure the merits of each tribe and the rewards they should receive according to the number of troops sent in this battle!"

To the left of Alio O'Sullivan, a sturdy middle-aged man spoke out.

"right!"

"That's right! Your Majesty, this is how it should be!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many generals present echoed.

Most of these people are members of large tribes in the Odin Empire. Their tribes are large in number and occupy most of the fertile land in the Odin Empire.

It can be said that the comprehensive strength of these people's tribes in the Odin Empire is second only to the O'Sullivan tribe, which is the royal family.

Since most of these tribes sent out many brave warriors, if the results were divided according to the number of people participating in the war, the strong would undoubtedly become stronger and the weak would become weaker.

And this is something that no monarch, including Alio O'Sullivan, wants to see.

Because once these large tribes become too powerful, it means that the royal family is weakened.

If Alio O'Sullivan does not have effective enough checks and balances, it will be inevitable for people to have unrest and even covet the throne.

"What Master Uri said makes sense, so...money and food must be awarded to these tribes who have made great contributions first!"

Alio O'Sullivan nodded in agreement.

but……

But he tactfully shifted the topic of rewards to food, grass and money.

Alio O'Sullivan knew very well what these princes and nobles really wanted!

What they want is the land in the eastern part of the Norman Empire!

Even though the Odin Empire is far less wealthy than the Norman Empire, but... which powerful tribe doesn't have tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and doesn't have the wealth accumulated over generations?

Once these large tribes with money, food and manpower are able to rule a wider area of ​​land, then the strength of these tribes will reach a higher level. Over time, something will inevitably happen!

Therefore, Alio O'Sullivan would rather grant the land he seized from the Norman Empire to the small tribes who have lost their land and are wandering around, so that they can be grateful to the O'Sullivan royal family and consolidate the O'Sullivan tribe's respect for Odin. Empire rule!

"Your Majesty is right."

The middle-aged man whom Alio O'Sullivan called Uri shrank his head and cautiously agreed.

Although the Odin cavalry led by Raymond O'Sullivan were completely wiped out a few days ago, at this moment, the power and status of the young Odin monarch Alio O'Sullivan still have no People can be swayed, so... even if they have some small calculations in their hearts, they can only make concessions temporarily.

only……

The surrender of his subjects did not make Alio O'Sullivan feel at all relaxed, because... But when the leaders of these tribes gathered in the camp and argued with each other to divide their interests, Marshal Portia and Sogn The connection between the plains has been interrupted for more than two days!

You know, out of concern about possible threats in the eastern part of the empire, Alio O'Sullivan had repeatedly told Marshal Portia to keep in touch with him at all times and exchange letters every day!

But... the last message Marshal Portia sent to him was that they were crossing the Eide River!

From then on, no more letters came!

Although he was full of confidence in Marshal Portia and the tens of thousands of Odin soldiers he led, when he thought that the death of his cousin Raymond O'Sullivan did not cause a splash in the eastern part of the empire, his There was a vague worry in my heart.

Even...because he has been restless during this period, Alio O'Sullivan has secretly ordered the Sentinels to go to find out the news, and sent General Odin Dragon Armor to lead the army to slowly advance eastward, and arrive on the west bank of the Ed River in advance. Station!

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, an Odin soldier ran in in a panic and said: "Your Majesty, the dragon-armored general is back!"

Hearing this, Alio O'Sullivan's eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.

He just led his army on an expedition a day ago, and today he rushed back without any notification. If there was no big change, he would definitely be criticized!

"Your Majesty! Please step aside!"

The tent was opened.

Odin's famous general Dragon Armor General walked in with a solemn look, with no expression on his calm face.

But... Before Alio O'Sullivan said anything, Dragon Suit Armor's words made everyone frown.

Something big is definitely happening!

At this time, although Long Suojia had not yet made it clear, a hint of worry arose in most people's hearts.

"You all should exit first!" Alio O'Sullivan ordered.

When all the princes and nobles left the camp, the young Lord Odin suddenly changed his expression and asked with a serious face:

"What happened?!"

At this moment, facing Alio O'Sullivan's question, Dragon Armor finally couldn't hold back the expression on his face, and replied with sadness: "Your Majesty! Odin's army... has been defeated across the board!"

"What?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Alio O'Sullivan stood up from his seat.

He reached over the table, grabbed the lapel of the dragon suit that was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice: "What did you say?! What happened? What happened to Odin's army!"

"His Majesty!"

There was a hint of crying in the words of the Dragon Armor, and he said: "The enemy we faced was not the Kingdom of Basel as previously expected, but the Idar Territory located in the eastern part of the empire! More than 13,000 Odin soldiers were completely defeated in the Dell Hills. , there are only more than a thousand soldiers who can escape back!"

"Idar territory? How many troops can a small county have?!" Lord Odin felt unbelievable.

"Three...three thousand, they only have three thousand people..." Dragon Armor replied cautiously.

In fact, he was also extremely surprised by this number, but the Odin soldiers who fled back all agreed, and looking at it, they were clearly frightened by the Idar people.

"You mean... Odin's warriors, who have always been able to defeat ten with one and win with less, were almost completely wiped out by an Idar army with only more than 3,000 people?!" Alio O'Sullivan gritted his teeth. asked.

"The villain also finds it incredible, but...but those Idar people seem to have some kind of secret weapon. Even if Marshal Portia orders the entire army to press forward, it will be difficult to pose an effective threat to the Idar army..."

"Portia...where is Portia Mariano?! Let him speak!"

Alio O'Sullivan was particularly angry, turned around, and suddenly overturned the table beside him.

"Marshal Portia...died in battle..." Dragon Jacket replied with a pale face as he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.

"The battle...is dead?"

At this moment, Alio O'Sullivan seemed to have been cast under witchcraft, and was completely stunned.

Portia Mariano!

Marshal Odin, who had a very high reputation in Odin's army and had served as three imperial emperors, actually died in a war that broke out in the same Norman earldom!

"Not only Marshal Portia and High Priest Plamon Heyman were killed by the strange weapons of the Idars, but Edson O'Sullivan was also missing..."

As the words fell, Lord Odin's camp fell into a deathly silence.

It's the day,

Even though we are hundreds of miles apart,

Odin's military tent is still on full alert, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Idar collar.

As the news of the victory in the war spread widely in the land of Idar Territory, the preparations for the construction of Hagia Sophia also began in an orderly manner.

After struggling for a long time between the city of Idar and the Merlin district, Bruno finally chose the location for the construction of Hagia Sophia in Sauronburg, northeast of Namur Fortress.

Sauronborg is not a fortress, but a city.

As the former core of Earl Sauron's rule, this city adjacent to the Gulf of Merlin has become dilapidated and deserted under the bombardment of Idar people's artillery fire.

But...that's exactly what Bruno needs!

Compared to a messy and overcrowded city, Bruno can scribble on the land of Sauronburg and start from scratch according to his own ideas and plans.

With Sam Layton's crucial victory at Dale's Foothills, the Idarland's takeover of the eastern part of the Empire has become a certainty.

The large number of refugees who became hungry after being plundered by the Odins became a problem that Bruno had to solve.

Blind relief will only make Idar pay a lot of money and food in vain, so in Bruno's opinion...the best way to deal with the refugees is to use miracles!

The construction of wonders requires the recruitment of a large number of manpower. People who have lost their source of livelihood can rely on their own strength to obtain precious survival materials, instead of slumping on the side of the road and waiting for death.

At the same time, Bruno can also obtain wonder bonuses from the wonder construction system, which can be said to be a multi-purpose feat.

Without much publicity, a large number of refugees began to migrate southward under the organization of Old Ford and set up camp on the land near Solonborg.

Bruno had also considered Idar City and Merin District, but...if Hagia Sophia was built in Idar City, this would undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the ongoing expansion and renovation plan of Idar City.

Moreover, this will also cause a large number of unapproved refugees to flow into the core area of ​​Idar Territory, putting great pressure on the social security situation of Idar Territory.

The eastern part of the empire can be in chaos, but Idar mainland must not be in chaos!

This consideration was one of the reasons why Bruno chose the ruins of Solonborg to build the Hagia Sophia.

after all……

The construction of Saint Sophia Cathedral will undoubtedly bring a large number of refugees to the Solon Territory, which was originally desolate due to large-scale population migration, allowing this land adjacent to the Idar Territory to develop as quickly as possible, and even in the future, it is very likely that It will increase the land price in Solonborg!

This will bring an extremely important promotion effect to Bruno's overall plan.

then,

After more than four months of stagnation in the spectacle construction plan, White Barrel finally found his sense of existence again.

After he got the drawings given by Bruno, he rushed to the ruined Sauron Castle almost overnight and began to organize and arrange the preparations for the construction of the wonder.

Because... White Barrel knew very clearly how much Bruno Stuart, the Earl of Idar, valued this wonder!

Moreover... Bruno also gave a famous time limit, which made White Barrell feel a lot of pressure.

Hagia Sophia is different from any wonder built before Idar. In addition to the organ bonus provided by the wonder construction system, it also has extremely important practical significance!

To be fair, as a grand religious building, Hagia Sophia is definitely more eye-catching in terms of scale and luxury than St. George's Cathedral in the holy city of Bethlehem, known as the "First Church on the Continent" .

By the time the Reformation came...

have a look!

I, the Idar Territory, owns the most magnificent church in the world. Which little pagan pagan dares to say that my belief in the God of Light is not pious enough? !

It can be said that the existence of Hagia Sophia is definitely a plus point for the smooth progress of the religious reform!

At the same time, Solenberg is also the place where the Idar army achieved its first external victory ("foreign" refers to the Odin Empire), so...in the Hagia Sophia, remember those who sacrificed heroically for the future of the Idar territory. Idar people, isn’t this a natural thing?

This is paving the way for Michael’s religious reform!

In addition, as one of the wonders included in the wonder construction system, Hagia Sophia has only one wonder bonus, but it exactly meets the needs of the current stage of development of Idar.

[Name of wonder: Hagia Sophia]

[Characteristics of the spectacle: After the construction of the spectacle is completed, the host can become the guardian of the faith of a designated religion]

What is a Keeper of the Faith?

As a senior P Club player, Bruno naturally knows.

However, Bruno was even more excited about the interpretation of the wonder construction system for the guardians of faith!

【Guardian of Faith】

[Introduction: When the host declares to be the guardian of a certain religion, the speed of religious spread increases by 20%, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net reduces war exhaustion by 50% when fighting infidels, and increases soldier morale by 20 when fighting infidels. %, the income from religious donations increases by xx%, and you should accept the call at any time to join the war against infidels. 】

The buff of religious guardian is indeed useless to today's Idar Territory.

It’s not that the bonus at the front isn’t great, but the line at the back, “No matter who fights with heretics, must accept the call at any time” is simply a sinkhole!

but……

Once Mike's religious reform is successfully completed and a new religion appears in the land of Idar, then this buff called "Guardian of Faith" will be really fragrant!

Because only Idarland believes in this new religion,

so……

I protect myself, which is equivalent to using the bonus of the religious guardian in vain without having to bear any responsibility!

Is it bullish? !

Sorry, I have been sorting out the follow-up outline and plot during the day, so the update is a bit late.
