Chapter 452 Red Moon Plane

Historically, the eastern countries of the Dawn Continent were all vassals canonized by the Holy Glorious Empire. For example, the ancestor of the Kingdom of Delong was a duke of the Holy Glorious Empire. The ancestors of the Kingdom of Sith can be traced back to the princes of the Holy Glorious Empire. Because of this factor, the Kingdom of Sith was able to find enough relationships in the Holy Glorious Empire, reach some cooperation, and become the overlord of the eastern coast of the Central Continent.

Although the other countries did not have such close relations with the Holy Glorious Empire, they were also recognized and canonized by the Holy Glorious Empire.

Because the Holy Glorious Empire was the overlord of the Dawn Plane, it brought protection to the humans of the Dawn Plane, similar to the Zhou Emperor in Richard's previous life, and was the co-lord of the human kingdom of the Dawn Plane.

The Dawn Plane is a super-magic plane with gods living inside, so if you want to establish a kingdom, you still need the protection of gods. Only with the dual recognition of the Seven Gods Church and the human co-lord, the royal bloodline will be respected by the nobles and gain a foothold in the upper circle.

Richard naturally had a plan for the development of Harland Territory in his mind. He knew very well that the Harland family had to move to this step after the development to this point.

Now Harland is getting stronger and stronger, even better than the Grant royal family.

King Roger has become cautious in dealing with his relationship with Richard, weighing the pros and cons. The current Grant Kingdom has almost two power centers, and there is a very high risk of conflict due to internal power division.

It's just that Richard and Roger are both qualified nobles and excellent rulers. They can distinguish the pros and cons and are not swayed by emotions.

But their successors may not be so sober. When they meet a king like Charles, the relationship between the two families will inevitably have twists and turns. If they continue to get together, they will even lose and suffer.

In recent years, both King Roger and Richard have considered this issue.

It is almost inevitable for the Harland family to break away from the Grant Kingdom and Richard to take the crown.

However, Richard and King Roger both wanted to take it step by step, first defeating Ryan, Delon, and the East Coast, creating a good external environment, and then King Roger supported Richard to participate in the war between races and planes, and after making meritorious service, the two families would take the crown and part ways peacefully.

This time plan may take about 20 to 30 years.

Unexpectedly, before Richard and the Kingdom of Roger were ready, the envoy of the Holy Glorious Empire had already arrived in Harland Territory, bringing the request of Emperor Edward.

Rosen carried the will of the Holy Glorious Empire behind him, and even if Harland Territory was not ready, Richard could only agree to Rosen's request. Although Harland Territory was not prepared enough to participate in the war between planes and races.

If the will of the Holy Glorious Empire was disobeyed, it was likely to clash with this huge force. Whether it was Harland Territory or Grant Kingdom, it was somewhat unbearable to be hostile to the most powerful force in the Dawn Plane.

After all, the Holy Glorious Empire is the most powerful force in the Dawn Plane. As long as one-tenth of its power is drawn, several legendary professionals and 30,000 to 50,000 all-professional legions are used to support the three kingdoms of Ryan, it will be difficult for Richard and King Roger to resist.

Moreover, the Holy Glorious Empire is still the common ruler of mankind. With the name of righteousness, once the order is passed down, it can not only call on the eastern countries to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Grant, but even the nobles under Richard and King Roger may not be reliable. The two families of Harland and Grant alone are not opponents of the Holy Glorious Empire.

After comprehensive consideration, Richard can only agree to the request of the Holy Glorious Empire.

In fact, Richard has been fighting in the northern border area for many years and has always participated in the racial war.

The orc army annihilated by the Harland family adds up to more than 300,000 people, of which the elite troops of orc professionals have been wiped out by Richard about 30,000 people.

In the war that lasted for more than 20 years, William assisted the commander of the Martins Legion in killing the legendary wild boar man Ramkesu, and Richard also killed the legendary dragon vein dog-headed man Kiram with the help of everyone.

In the battle a few years ago, Harland Lord also injured the legendary third-level lion man Melonla with a starlight bomb, and the legendary jackal also died at the hands of Harland Lord.

All in all, the merits established by the Harland family for the human race are enough to wear the crown.

If the Holy Glorious Empire is willing, it can directly give Richard a title of nobility, let Richard wear the crown, and the Harland family will become a royal family.

But the Holy Glorious Empire will not be so cheap for the Harland family. Richard and William are not great nobles from the Holy Glorious Empire, and of course they will not enjoy the same preferential treatment as their own people.

People like them who come from grassroots need to pay more for every step forward to catch up with people of noble status. If you want to wear the crown, you must agree to the requirements of the Holy Glorious Empire and serve the interests of the Holy Glorious Empire.

Hearing the probing of Special Envoy Rosen, Richard asked directly: "Which battle does the respected Saint Sith Emperor intend to let me participate in? Will he send troops to fight against orcs and undead, or enter the other plane to serve the Holy Glorious Empire?"

"The great Saint Sith Emperor hopes that the Duke will take charge and help the Dawn Plane to block external prying. The Empire and the Dawn Church have jointly mastered a plane channel that connects to a high-magic plane. The indigenous gods in the plane have been corrupted by the Undead Lord and have become his accomplices.

Although the God of the Red Moon was sealed by the Goddess of Dawn for three thousand years, the seal began to loosen five hundred years ago, and our power to suppress the Red Moon Plane is gradually insufficient. Now the Church of Dawn, Church of Glory and the Empire have joined forces and only occupy a quarter of the territory of the Red Moon Plane.

In recent years, there have been more and more challengers to the empire, and its power has gradually become unable to make ends meet. In this dimension, Emperor Saint Sith was ready to give up and retreat. But this is a high demonic plane with gods, and the empire cannot withdraw irresponsibly. Therefore, the great Emperor Saint Sith decided that Lord Harland should fill this gap instead of the Holy Radiant Empire. "

After hearing Rosen's request, Richard knew that it would be difficult to refuse the Holy Glory Empire's request.

Because this task inherently represents great justice, once Richard refuses, it is almost equivalent to severing himself from the noble class and unwilling to fight for the fate of the human race in the Dawn Plane.

At that time, the Holy Glory Empire can order the nobles of several nearby countries to attack the Harland family with a single handwriting. I am afraid that even the nobles of the Grant Kingdom will not be reliable.

Richard didn't think about it for too long and agreed to Rosen's request.

After agreeing to Rosen's request, Richard went directly to the princess's mausoleum.

Since the discovery of the princess's tomb, the Church of Dawn has dispatched the legendary second-level magician Archbishop Senna to personally guard the seal to guard the seal of the princess's tomb and prevent the remnant soul of the undead king from escaping.

The Princess Tomb is also a large magic well that produces a large amount of magic plants, especially moon grass, which is rare in the outside world. The quantity in the Princess Tomb is very sufficient.

Over the years, the Harland Territory and the Church of the Dawn have increased the number of moon grasses in the princess's tomb from one to five. The Harland Territory basically uses the moon grass as an auxiliary material to refine the Styx potion. The Church of Dawn has a deeper foundation. In addition to refining Styx potions, it also refines magic fusion potions, moon elf potions, etc.

The two families control the princess's mausoleum and can bring a large amount of extraordinary materials every year. Moreover, Archbishop Senna can also discuss magic with Princess Offland and learn many ancient secrets and mysterious spells.

After arriving at the princess mausoleum, Richard found Archbishop Senna and took the initiative to ask for information about the red moon plane.

After listening to Richard's detailed account, Senna nodded slightly. He and Richard can be regarded as old comrades who have participated in battles together. They have been together for more than twenty years and have a very good relationship.

After listening to Richard's explanation of his purpose, Senna clearly explained the information he had.

"The red moon plane has local gods. Although it is not as powerful as the dawn plane, it is still a high-demon plane. However, the goddess of the red moon was first eroded by the undead king and then sealed by the goddess of dawn. Now she can no longer intervene in secular battles.

This plane is now relatively chaotic, with more than a quarter of the territory reduced to the land of the dead, and the remaining half falling into the hands of the natives of the Red Moon Plane. The natives of the Red Moon plane have now colluded with the undead, and the Red Moon Church has become a lackey of the undead forces. The most troublesome thing is that the undead king is still infiltrating into this plane.

In addition, a small number of demons have appeared in the red moon plane, and the power of the abyss is also penetrating into the red moon plane. For this reason, the power of the God of Glory is preparing to reduce the power of the Red Moon Plane and gradually withdraw from this plane. "

Richard has traveled to the Dawn Plane for more than thirty years, and has already figured out some of the top information on the Dawn Plane, especially the information about the Seven Gods, and has made many secret guesses.

Among the seven gods in the Dawn Plane, the God of Glory is a multiverse god with powerful divine power. Although his combat power in the Dawn Plane may not be the most powerful, the secular power he controls must be the strongest among the seven gods. .

Now even the God of Glory wants to gradually withdraw from the Red Moon Plane. The situation in the Red Moon Plane must be very difficult.

"The God of Glory is starting to back off. What is the Church of Dawn going to do?"

Senna smiled bitterly and said: "We can't evacuate yet. The most important artifact of the Dawn Goddess, the Holy Grail of Dawn, is still in the red moon plane. This artifact is used to seal the Red Moon Goddess and cannot be moved. Once we evacuate, this artifact will The artifact will inevitably fall into the hands of the undead and demons. With the help of this natal artifact, both the undead king and the demon king can cast a curse on the goddess of the morning. We must persist until the goddess wakes up and try to maintain the situation in the red moon plane. live."

"In this case, I must agree to Emperor Edward's request."

After getting the information about the Red Moon Plane from Senna, Richard quickly made a decision and agreed to the Holy Radiance Empire's request.

Although the Goddess of Dawn comes from an alien plane, she has gained the favor of the World Tree of the Dawn plane. She can be said to be the destined child of the Dawn plane.

Within the plane of dawn, her fighting power is extremely powerful. Powerful gods such as the God of Glory and the God of Fairness and Justice are no match for the Goddess of Dawn.

The church founded by the Dawn Goddess is not weak in the Dawn Plane. Although the Dawn Goddess fell asleep very early, the church has developed very well. After three thousand years of operation, it not only has complete missionary rights in the Holy Glory Empire, but also has two parishes. . In addition, among the countries in the eastern part of the Central Continent, there are also three kingdoms and two principalities that mainly believe in the Goddess of the Dawn, with about 200 million believers.

The Dawn Church has three major institutions: the Cardinal Court, the Court of Justice, and the Church Property Office. It is divided into seven dioceses and has a religious knight group of 60,000 people. This knight group is an army of all professionals, and its combat effectiveness is even better than that of the Warcraft Cavalry led by Harland. The Dawn Church not only has a strong military force, but also has a total of 16 legendary professionals, including three legendary priests, two legendary mages, five legendary knights, and six legendary warriors. It ranks third among the Seven Gods Church, second only to the Radiant Church and the Kingly Church.

Any of the Seven Gods Churches has more power than the Eastern Kingdom.

Under normal circumstances, the Seven Gods Church is closely related to the secular kingdom.

In the wars in human countries, the church power is generally deeply involved, usually providing priests and treatment services. In extreme cases, religious troops will even be deployed to help fight.

Although the secular kingdom will not openly interfere with the Seven Gods' missionary work, there will also be religions that truly support it, and suppress pagans in a hidden policy.

For example, in the Dukedom of Harland, although Richard designated the Dawn Church as the official religion and paid tithes to the Dawn Church, he would not restrict the other six major churches from entering Harland to preach. However, in the process of implementation, the official policy will lean towards the Dawn Church, and various official celebrations will only invite the clergy of the Dawn Church.

The six major churches have entered Harland for more than ten years, and the total number of believers is only about hundreds of thousands, while the total number of believers of the Dawn Church has exceeded 10 million. The development speed of both sides is impossible to synchronize.

Although the rise and fall of the Seven Gods Church is closely related to the replacement of human secular monarchy, after entering the monarchy era, the Seven Gods Church only grasps the general direction and will not invest too much power in the secular world to avoid the outbreak of religious wars.

After all, the situation in the Dawn plane is not good now. The Seven Gods have not revived and will not easily provoke religious wars and break out serious internal strife.

The reason why the Grant Kingdom did not suffer from the suppression of church power when the war broke out with neighboring countries was that the Dawn Church and the Royal Church were relatively strong, which was also a key factor.

With the development of the Harland family, the number of believers in the Dawn Church has increased by several million. Once Richard wears the crown, the Dawn Church must also adjust its structure. The seven major dioceses will increase to eight, and independent dioceses will be established in kingdoms and grand duchies. This has become a convention in the Seven Gods Church.

The coordinates of the Red Moon Plane Channel are located in the east of the Parame Kingdom, about 300 kilometers away from the coastal area.

The Parame Kingdom is also the headquarters of the Dawn Church. The Stark Kingdom near the Parame Kingdom, the Grand Duchy of Caroline, and the Grand Duchy of Vatula are all countries that believe in the Dawn Goddess. The power of the Dawn Goddess is mainly distributed in the southeast of the Central Continent.
