Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 390 The Saint's Order

12 month 20 day.

The God of War fell, the Eternal Sun fell.

The morale of the allied forces of Feysac and Intis almost collapsed, and they surrendered without a fight.

On the same day, the Republic of Intis issued a surrender statement to the world via radio.

The next day, Einhorn of the Feysac royal family announced his unconditional surrender.

At this point, the war was completely over.

Although the negotiations on war reparations had not yet concluded, the Feysac Empire had already issued an order to acquiesce to all actions of the Loen military - even if they wanted to take over Saint Miron, the Einhorn family would have to say welcome with a smile.

Sonia Sea.

A fleet consisting of dozens of ships of various sizes sailed towards the port of Sonia Island. As the distance got closer, the flag became clearer, and the crimson but faint moonlight allowed the people in the port to see ten white stars of the same size on it, and those stars surrounded a pair of cold eyes without eyelashes.

That is the flag of the Star Pirates under the command of the new pirate king, 'Star Queen' Cattleya!

The sea at night is deep blue, almost black, tinged with a faint crimson, and is a little calmer and quieter than during the day.

The Future was rising and falling gently with the waves, like a ghostly shadow, sailing towards the location of the red moon.

Cattleya stood at the bow, looking at the coastline in the distance.

At this distance, she could clearly see a huge fleet docked outside the port of the Sonia Sea!

On the Future, the boatswain Nina, who was wearing a black tight-fitting outfit made of fish skin, had a tall figure, fair skin, and pale eyes, and had obvious Feysac characteristics, swallowed hard and asked in a low voice:

"Captain, are we really going over there?"

That's the regular navy of the Feysac Empire!

Although they did not have the epoch-making ironclad ships like the Kingdom of Loen, it was still a huge fleet of hundreds of warships. Once a naval battle broke out between the two sides, Cattleya might be able to survive by chance with her demigod powers, but the Star Pirates would definitely suffer heavy losses, or even be wiped out!

Cattleya glanced at her boatswain and said calmly:
"Don't worry, the Feysac people have surrendered. They won't resist."

Nina whispered:

"The Feysac Empire has surrendered to the Kingdom of Loen, but what does this have to do with us? We are pirates!"

War is a matter between two countries. What does it have to do with these pirates?
The navy of the Kingdom of Loen did not say anything, but the captain actually brought a group of pirates to pick peaches openly. This behavior would undoubtedly offend both Feysac and the Kingdom of Loen at the same time. Even the Kingdom of Loen did not need to take action, Feysac could easily deal with them.

After all, although the Feysac Empire had been defeated, their strength had not been greatly affected.

There are at least three demigods stationed on Sonia Island alone.

Their current behavior is tantamount to seeking death.

"Captain, even if you want to take advantage of the situation, at least change the flag to the Loen Navy or the Storm Church!"

Nina was still mumbling, but Cattleya pretended not to hear her and just calmly ordered:

“Raise the flag.”

Following Cattleya's order, the 'Star Pirate Ship' once again raised a small flag, on which was a symbol composed of part of the 'Eye without Pupil' and part of the 'Twisted Line'!

Although the flag is not as big as the 'Stars and Stars Flag' painted directly on the sail, its importance far exceeds that of the 'Stars and Stars Flag'.

Because this flag represents the legality and legitimacy of their actions.

As the flag rose, Nina realized that her previous worries were completely unnecessary.

Because the Sonia Sea Fleet of the Feysac Empire had been quietly docked outside the port, without even raising the sails, the officers and soldiers on the warships were standing quietly on the deck, most of them lowered their heads as if they could not accept the reality, and their morale was extremely low.

at last.

The "Future" passed through the welcoming Sonia Maritime Fleet and stopped not far from the port area.

Cattleya, wearing a black classical robe, stood at the bow. Her clothes were covered with different symbols and magical signs, making her look like a powerful wizard in ancient legends.

Under the crimson moonlight, the area in front of her suddenly lit up, and bits of bright starlight fell down and condensed into a long transparent bridge.

The long bridge continued to extend forward and landed on the pier.

Under the aim of the coastal defense guns and the gazes of ambiguous people, Cattleya stepped onto the long bridge covered with starlight and walked towards the dock at a moderate pace.

The Feysac officials who lined up to greet them at the port all looked at the middle-aged man in front of them.

He was a half-giant with obvious Feysac features, wearing a navy general's uniform, and more than two meters and a half tall.

He is the new commander of the Sonia Sea Fleet and the current commander-in-chief of the Sonia Sea Defense Zone, Allison Einhorn. At the same time, he is also the father of the former commander of the Sonia Sea Fleet, Yegor Einhorn, who has died in battle, a Sequence 3 "War Bishop"!
Alison Einhorn stopped one meter away from the end of the Starlight Bridge, staring at the lady who was slowly walking down the bridge, and said in a deep voice:

"'Star Queen', who do you represent?"

Of course he knew that the other party was just a pirate.

But during the war, these pirates had been recruited by various countries, and the Star Pirates did not stand on Loon's side.

But their current behavior is very telling.

Cattleya's tone remained calm:
"I come to accept the surrender on behalf of the Church of Fools."

"The Church of Fools?"

Alison Einhorn looked deeply at the lady in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

Since the outbreak of the war, the Church of Fools has gradually begun to grow and develop in the Kingdom of Loen, and has been acting in a very high-profile manner.

Apart from anything else, since the outbreak of the war, the number of demigods who fell at the hands of the Church of Fools in the Feysac Empire is more than the number of demigods who fell at the hands of the Royal Family of the Loen Kingdom, the Church of Evernight, and the Church of Storms combined!
As an exchange of interests for war support, the Storm Church ceded the Rorsted Islands to the Fool Church, which was also a well-known "secret".

However, the problem is that no matter how well known it is, it is still a 'secret'.

At least on the surface, the only true churches recognized by the Kingdom of Loen were the Church of Night and the Church of Storm. Of course, the Church of Steam was also one of them, but because it chose the wrong side, it was doomed to be removed from the Kingdom of Loen.

This means that, legally speaking, the Church of Fools is not qualified to take over Sonia Island on behalf of the Kingdom of Loen.

However, Allison Einhorn doesn't care!

Feysac had already been defeated, and the God of War had fallen. Why should he care whether the Church of Fools had legality? Wouldn't it be better if it didn't have legality? It might even cause a conflict between the Church of Fools and the Church of Storms. If it could cause internal strife in the Kingdom of Loen, that would be even better!
Allison Einhorn's eyes moved slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone on the Future shout in panic:
"Captain, look behind you!"

"Ok?"

Cattleya frowned slightly when she heard the boatswain's voice, but she still turned around and looked in the direction Nina pointed.

On the blue sea, a fleet was slowly sailing towards the port of Sonia Island.

The scale of that fleet was much larger than that of the Star Pirates, with hundreds of warships, and each of them was a regular warship, including many ironclad ships. It was incomparable to the Star Pirates' cobbled-together fleet of international brands, which was mostly converted from merchant ships. They were not at the same level at all!

The most eye-catching thing is the flag hoisted on the armored flagship at the head of the fleet. It has a pattern embroidered with gold and silver silk threads that symbolizes lightning, storms, and the ocean, symbolizing the Church of Storms!
Judging from the direction they were moving, this fleet was undoubtedly sent by the Church of Storms to take over Sonia Island.

Cattleya turned around and looked at Admiral Feysac in front of her.

But Allison Einhorn fell silent at this time and refused to talk about what had happened before.

If the Storm Church was not there, he would have no problem offering Sonia Island to the Fool Church because he was 'deceived'. But now that the Storm Church was present, such a trick would bring him great trouble.

Even if he wanted to cause trouble for the Kingdom of Loen, at least he couldn't do it in front of others.

after all.

The current Feysac Empire no longer has the protection of gods.

"Feel sorry."

Alison Einhorn showed a helpless expression and apologized:

"The surrender ceremony may have to wait until the envoy of the Church of Storms arrives before it can begin."

Cattleya saw what Alison Einhorn was thinking, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked:

"What if they don't come?"

As soon as the words fell, Allison Einhorn's face changed slightly, and he looked up at the sea in the distance again.

At the same time, the Storm Church fleet seemed to have discovered their presence, and found a star pirate ship flying the flag of the 'Fool Church' behind the Sonia fleet of the Feysac Empire.

Woo!
Amid the hum of steam turbines, the Storm Church's fleet suddenly began to turn not far from the port.

Although Sonia Island was clearly within reach, they still turned away without hesitation, without even thinking of entering the port for supplies.

Allison Einhorn's face was filled with astonishment, and a lady's cold voice came to his ears:
"Can we start now?"

Allison Einhorn was silent for a few seconds. The slightly dark purple eyes of the lady opposite him seemed to have the ability to see through everything. Everything he thought and did in his heart seemed to be exposed to her without reservation.

Alison Einhorn smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying:

"Of course, please follow me."
-
At the same time as Cattleya took over Sonia Island, the armies in various regions of the Kingdom of Loen also took corresponding actions.

In Winter County, the Loen army crossed the Amanda Mountains and entered Feysac, accepted the surrender of the two-headed giant army, and took over the cities and ports north of the Amanda Mountains.

The coastal defense line, under the command of Commander Alfred Hall;.

The Loen army was unstoppable and recaptured Jianhai County within a day, and the army entered Constant City.

However, due to the order of the conquest fleet commander Dmitry Ev, the Feysac Empire's conquest fleet had sunk before the Loen army arrived, which resulted in them only being able to receive part of the Intis Republic's inter-coastal fleet.

At the same time, as the price of defeat.

The Intis army completely withdrew from the territories of Renburg and Segar, and the Renburg army, under the command of Army General Edwina Edwards, took over the bordering provinces of Lim, Leiston, Orle and Suchit.

Not surprisingly, in future negotiations, these four provinces will be used as war reparations for Intis’s failed invasion.

Although the area of ​​these four provinces is less than one-fifth of the total area of ​​the Republic of Intis, they are spread across the entire southern part of the Republic of Intis. Once these four southern provinces are occupied by countries such as Renburg and Segar, Renburg can directly push the border to Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis, which is of great strategic significance.

There is no doubt that the Republic of Intis would never accept such a condition. But now that the Eternal Sun has fallen, what can it do even if the Republic of Intis objects?

Even the Lord of Steam would not support the actions of these merchants, and their resistance was nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
-
Backlund, North District, in a room of Saint Samuel's Church.

Archbishop St. Anthony handed a document to the young man opposite him and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, you can take a look at this document first."

Yu Jin took the document and glanced at it casually:
"...accept the Beyonders who are willing to surrender from the Church of the God of War and the Feysac military, and only purge the few middle and high-level people who are very devout and willing to sacrifice their lives for their faith. This is not only the tolerance and mercy of the Goddess, but also an inevitable measure to deal with the future situation...When the end of the world is approaching step by step, the number of Beyonder events in various places will inevitably increase. If we want to maintain the stability of the world, we can only strengthen our strength as quickly and as much as possible."

"If we harvest the Beyonders from the Church of the God of War and the Feysac military, even if we obtain the corresponding characteristics, we will not be able to cultivate experienced Beyonders of the same level within a few years. Whether it is digesting magic potions or accumulating experience, it will take enough time..."

"For ordinary nobles and people in Feysac, there is no need to publicize the fact that the goddess has replaced the 'God of War'. Let them still retain their faith in the 'God of War'. On the one hand, this will help us and the surrendered priests and bishops take over the cathedrals and stabilize the situation in Feysac as quickly as possible. On the other hand, it will also prevent the goddess from being disturbed by beliefs that she cannot handle before she fully grasps the authority of the 'God of War'."

"We will make the replacement when the new oracle comes. Now we just need to make the corresponding emergency plan..."

“…Try not to provoke strong resistance from Feysac and other countries. We have lost too many Beyonders and soldiers, and consumed a large amount of resources and items. Whether it is the church, the country, or the people of different classes, they are all very weak. It will take a period of peace and stability to recover…”

"Finally, from now on, reduce the number of times the red moon appears in preaching, sacrifices, masses, etc., and no longer mention the title of the goddess 'Lord of Crimson' in official documents..."

Archbishop Saint Anthony explained:

"This is an instruction from the Saint herself."

After a pause, Archbishop St. Anthony added:

"Saint Lady, do you have any suggestions for this processing document? Or do you think there are any parts that need to be modified?"

Ember looked up, slightly surprised.
