Chapter 198 Storm King Barry!

From the very beginning, Sunan noticed that Barry was an official knight.

An eighteen-year-old official Knight of the Storm, this meant how much he was loved by the God of Storms.

In addition, he appeared with Tariq, the royal debt officer, and the relationship between the two was also very strange.

So Su Nan guessed his identity.

It is estimated that the new king of the Storm Kingdom is going to various places to seek help.

The Storm Kingdom is different from ordinary kingdoms. Each Crusade army first conquers a country, and then the leaders of many Crusade armies gather together and suddenly realize that we seem to be missing a king.

So, everyone used contracts and agreements to elect a king.

In the Middle Ages, a king did not mean an absolute lord.

He is more of a leader of a powerful noble family and a symbol of the kingdom in a religious sense.

It can be said that in the Middle Ages, people believed that every country must have a king, just as a person's body must have a head.

Therefore, the power of the King of the Storm Kingdom does not come from his powerful army and personal strength, but from the contracts and agreements signed by all the Storm Lords, as well as the special religious status of the king from a religious perspective.

This is the foundation of the core power of the King of the Storm Kingdom. All of his subsequent rights are extended and developed from this foundation.

Of course, in recent years, the King of the Storm Kingdom has liked to portray himself as the legitimate heir to the Eastern Human Empire.

You must know that the authority of the emperor of the Eastern Human Empire comes from the universal emperor in the religious sense and from the people of the Eastern Human Empire's recognition of the emperor's absolute autocratic power.

Even if it is the same country, if the power of the Storm King can be transferred to the power of the Emperor of the Eastern Human Empire, the military strength of the Storm Royal Family will be greatly enhanced.

That will lead to a qualitative improvement.

Tariq coughed, and the young King Barry calmed down a little. He said to Borgia and Sunan: "I didn't mean to hide my identity."

"The situation in Storm Kingdom is turbulent right now. I can only go to various territories with various excuses and ask the lords of each place to make contributions to the kingdom and fight against foreign enemies together."

Borgia made a fitting salute to the young king.

And Sunan just nodded.

However, since the royal family of the Storm Kingdom is often ignored by feudal lords everywhere, Barry and Tariq have no objection to this.

Borgia said, "I didn't expect that the King would also come to Barony Peter. I was really rude just now."

"Your Majesty the King."

"I am honored to meet you. May the Lord of Storms in the sky bless you and help you overcome all difficulties."

"You are the God of Storms, the ruler of the God-man family in the mortal world. I believe that the God of Storms will bless you. I once again express my apologies for my rudeness to you just now."

Barry quickly waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

The young king was still young and cunning, so he did not consider at all whether his authority would be damaged if he asked directly and was rejected by Borgia.

He spoke directly to Borgia: "Bishop Borgia, Stormwind Fort will soon be besieged by the Bulgar for the third time. I would like to ask you to send the church army to support us."

"In the name of the king, I wish to recruit you."

Borgia glanced at Sunan and saw that he had no expression on his face. He then said to Barry, "Your Majesty, is this what Archbishop Mosilini meant?"

Barry shook his head blankly. "No." The young king, who was on the brink of danger, had no idea of ​​the hidden meaning behind Borgia's question.

Sunan was a little surprised by this. He didn't expect that Stormwind Castle, as the headquarters of the royal family and the Storm Church, was about to face the third siege by the Bulgars, but the Storm Church headquarters just let it go.

Sunan immediately understood what Archbishop Mosilini might be planning.

Archbishop Mosilini is a member of the Church of Storms and also comes from the Platinum Commercial Republic.

He himself has been strengthening the interests of his motherland within the Storm Kingdom.

As long as the local church armies do not support Stormwind Keep, the Storm Royal Family can only seek help from the Platinum Commercial Republic.

In this way, his motherland can get the greatest benefit.

Sunan sighed imperceptibly. The enemies of the Storm Kingdom were united. There were the Bulgars in the north and the Nicomedia Empire in the east. However, within the Storm Kingdom, people were scheming against each other.

Both the church and the duke were waiting for the royal family to ask them for help, in exchange for temporary military assistance by damaging the king's legitimate power.

The Storm Lords from various places also have little desire to protect the royal capital.

Sunan was thinking that maybe he should find a way to cut ties with the Storm Lords.

If I stay on this rotten ship of Storm Kingdom any longer, I don’t know what will happen.

Borgia Frederick suddenly lost the pitiful look he had when he asked Sunan for help just now. At this moment, facing the King of Bari who asked him for help, his face was full of sacred majesty. The luxurious attire of a bishop on his body added a sense of sacredness to him.

"Then I'm sorry. Your Majesty, I cannot transfer the church army to Stormwind Fortress without the order of Archbishop Mosilini."

"Moreover, as you can see, the Achaean Peninsula has been invaded by evil vampires. Our branch church must focus on the Achaean Peninsula. There are also some scattered enclaves of the Nicomedia Empire on the Achaean Peninsula."

"We also need to fight against the pagans who believe in the God of Law."

King Bari was eager to argue: "But the kingdom is about to be destroyed by the Bulgars. As the bishop of the church, you can't just sit there and do nothing."

Borgia looked at Sunan again, and after confirming what he meant, he said to him: "Compared to the secular war, the war of the soul is more severe."

"Eradication of pagans and vampires is the church's top priority."

"But in order to help you, I can help His Majesty the King collect an extra half year of church tithes from the Achaean Peninsula and transfer the funds to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please defeat the powerful enemy! Defend our kingdom!"

Even the young Bari understood Borgia's refusal at this moment, not to mention that Borgia was at least prepared to give him half a year's worth of tithes as a courtesy.

King Barry could only sigh.

He had tried his best and had secretly traveled to various territories, even to the territory of the Latin Duke of Thessaloniki, hoping to get help from the army of the Latin Duke of Thessaloniki.

But it's all like this.

The local lords would agree to give him some insignificant help for the sake of his king, and then send him away.

"Thank you very much, Bishop." Barry sighed, looked at Tariq and whispered, "At this point, we can only go to the Achaean Peninsula again to see the attitude of the Duke of Achaea. I hope we can get more troops from the Duke."

Tariq whispered, "Not much hope."

"However, the unexpected surprise is that it was the 70,000 gold coins given to us by Count Peter that allowed us to hire some mercenary corps."
