On the Holy Mountain, the news of the death of Caesar III came, and everyone in the Holy See was extremely happy. If it were not for fear of the negative impact, Pius VII would have prepared a celebration banquet.

In the past few days, Caesar III had repeatedly slapped him in the face. However, the Alpha Kingdom was not weak and was far away, so it was not easy to counterattack.

Now the biggest heretic has finally fallen. Ulise, who had always kept his tail between his legs, suddenly became hardened again.

At this moment, no one criticized their "Holy Hand" for not doing their job well. The credit for assassinating Caesar III was completely attributed to Ulisse.

"Your Majesty, Caesar III is dead, so should we start our next plan?"

Ulisse asked enthusiastically.

Killing Caesar III was just the beginning. The real purpose of the Holy See was to provoke civil strife in the Alpha Kingdom and uproot the biggest "heresy" in the Northern Continent.

"Don't worry!

As an old friend, now that Caesar III has passed away, we have to send someone to express our condolences, so as not to spread the word and let everyone think: I, the Holy See, do not know etiquette."

As soon as Pius VII finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

They say they are offering condolences, but in fact they are just looking to cause trouble. If you look at history, you will know that changes in royal power are rarely peaceful.

If the Holy See gets involved again, the already turbulent Alpha Kingdom will become even more lively.

"Your Majesty, the civil war in the Warhammer Kingdom has been going on for almost a year, causing no peace in the northern continent.

For the sake of peace on the mainland, I suggest helping them to unify the Warhammer Kingdom as soon as possible.

Joseph II is the orthodox monarch of the Warhammer Kingdom and a devout believer in the Lord of the Dawn. Supporting him in taking over the power of the Warhammer Kingdom is what everyone expects!"

Blake suggested cautiously.

After experiencing a series of social beatings, the leader of the Judgment Knights, who barely retained his position, became more and more mature in political skills.

Theoretically speaking, the Holy See can gain the greatest benefits by supporting the nobles in the southwest.

After all, although their leader has high prestige, he does not have the right to inherit the throne.

If you use the canonization of the king as a bargaining chip and take the opportunity to propose conditions in exchange, you will definitely be able to obtain the greatest benefits for the Holy See.

However, behind the great benefits, the backlash is also very serious. Regardless of the origin of the civil war in the Warhammer Kingdom, for the monarchs of various continental countries, this kind of "rebellion" is not allowed.

We can tell one thing or two from the current reactions of various countries. At this moment, everyone supports Joseph II, the orthodox monarch.

The only problem is that all support remains in words; substantive actions are always in preparation.

If the Holy See is willing to help Joseph II, it will be a timely help. Although it is not as profitable as supporting the "rebels", it is better than political correctness.

Even if the countries in mainland China are in conflict with it, they can't stop the Holy See from supporting "orthodoxy" on the surface.

If we can take the opportunity to complete the infiltration of the Warhammer Kingdom, one-third of the Holy See's layout in the Northern Continent will be completed.

"Um!"

"We must hurry up on this matter. The Warhammer Kingdom is already severely weakened. If the civil war continues, they will really be ruined.

However, in terms of actions, we still have to keep it strictly confidential and we cannot be exposed. Otherwise, it is very likely to trigger a round of proxy wars!"

Pius VII said with a serious face.

As early as half a year ago, the Holy See had planned to intervene in the civil war in the Warhammer Kingdom, but it was afraid of extending its tentacles out of fear of Caesar III.

There is no way. Although the Holy See is powerful, it is still too far away from the Warhammer Kingdom, and the power it can put into it is limited.

If you are targeted by the enemy and make targeted arrangements in advance, it will be another action that will destroy your troops and generals.

"Your Majesty, to intervene in the Warhammer Kingdom's civil war, we need a big event to attract the attention of the outside world and provide us with cover.

The death of Caesar III was an opportunity, but this impact was only short-lived and would subside soon.

The change of kingship in the Kingdom of Alpha is a typical one where the father dies and the son dies. The country’s great nobles will not conflict with the succession of Crown Prince Caesar.

If you want to have a long-term impact, it is best to be a big event that affects the interests of many people.

According to the information we have, the total debt of the Principality of Moxi far exceeds its carrying capacity. Even the interest payments on funds are paid by issuing new bonds.

In the past six months, the great nobles who hold the bonds of the Principality of Moxi have been secretly reducing their holdings.

After being traded again and again, a large amount of war bonds have now flowed into the hands of many small nobles and small businessmen.

Once this news is revealed, it will inevitably cause an avalanche of bond prices in the Principality of Moxi. If we take the opportunity to hold a large number of bonds and ask the Moxi people to pay in advance, this hidden mine will explode.

The debt of the Principality of Moxi has collapsed, and the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be affected. If we take the opportunity to add insult to injury, they may also default on their debts.

The two major countries in the Northern Continent are deeply involved in the debt crisis. Even if our actions in the Warhammer Kingdom are exposed, they will not bother to interfere.

As for other forces on the mainland, by the time they take action, our Warhammer Kingdom’s actions will probably be over!”

Cardinal Sauron's proposal instantly attracted everyone's attention. It seemed like just a large-scale debt default, but in fact it was a huge thunder that triggered a civil war among the human race.

There are three major countries in the Northern Continent. Now that there is a civil war in the Warhammer Kingdom, the Principality of Moxi and the Kingdom of Alpha are also involved, and the regional balance within the human world has been broken.

After the original counterattack against the orcs ended, several powerful countries in the central part of the continent became impatient and wanted to expand to the northern continent.

The delay in taking action is due to the constraints of several powerful countries in the southern continent; on the other hand, there is a lack of moral reason to take action.l

In addition, the Principality of Moxi and the Kingdom of Alpha still retained some strength after the war, and Caesar III came up with the Warcraft Legion plan to unite a number of small countries in the Northern Continent.

Although overall it is not as powerful as several kingdoms in the middle, they will not be able to swallow it for a while.

The situation is different now.

Without Caesar III as the leading brother, the loose alliance of the major forces in the Northern Continent has reached the edge of collapse. Maybe it only takes a gust of wind to collapse.

Even moral barriers will no longer exist after a debt default breaks out.

They can march to the northern continent under the banner of armed debt collection. The small nobles and small businessmen who have become the last to take over the country will become staunch war fighters.

If the Holy See, at this moment, waits for an opportunity to do something to help them hold back several powerful countries in the Southern Continent, then no one will be able to prevent the outbreak of civil war among the human race.

It is easy to light this mine, but the trouble is how to maximize the interests of the Holy See. We cannot destroy the Alpha Kingdom and have one or more countries that oppose the Holy See appear.

To restore the glory of the Holy See, the best choice is to break the current balance within the human race. However, with the alien race's eager eyes, the overall strength of the entire human race cannot be significantly reduced.

Constantly weighing the pros and cons, Pius VII wandered around the hall for a while.

…

Almost at the same time, similar discussions also occurred in the Frankish Kingdom, the Iliban Kingdom, the King of Hesse...

It's just that everyone has different ambitions and strategic goals, and they all have different tendencies when making decisions.

Even alien races that had nothing to do with the Alpha Kingdom also launched heated discussions regarding the death of Caesar III.

For a time, the entire Aslant continent showed a scene of an approaching storm.

The "Ten Thousand Years of Catastrophe", which was originally a secret, has also been spread widely due to the promotion of thoughtful people.

To sum up, it can be summed up in one sentence: the outbreak of "a catastrophe of ten thousand years" - the replacement of "racial hegemony".

…

In the Mountain Territory, after hastily ending the activities for the Warcraft cubs to recognize their masters, Hudson became busy.

The king's sudden death forced him to make major revisions to the previously formulated territorial development plan.

The wharf and shipyard have completed preliminary exploration and are waiting to start construction immediately after the canal is opened.

It would be really embarrassing to throw away something that you spent a lot of money on for nothing. Hudson wasn't brave enough yet, so he could just waste his decades of investment in gold coins.

What's more, compared to the financial investment, the "key" to the sea is the most valuable.

Knowing that this was Caesar III's plan, he could only jump into the pit.

Once you let it go now, it may be difficult to encounter such a good opportunity in the next ten years or even decades.

Even though there is a pile of relevant information in Hudson's warehouse, no one has turned what is recorded on paper into reality, and the information is just a pile of waste paper.

Whether they like it or not, the Mountain Territory will be tied to the royal chariot for a long time to come.

"His Majesty has passed away and the situation in the kingdom has taken a turn for the worse. Please speak out your thoughts!"

Hudson said with a cautious look.

At times like this, think tanks must be used. Compared to him who has been born in two generations, the way these natives look at problems is closer to the mainstream of society.

"Your Majesty, at this time, it is better to be still than to move. The news of His Majesty's death has spread, and the kingdom is currently in an undercurrent stage.

Our intelligence collection work is seriously lagging behind, and we do not understand the situation in the royal capital and the positions of the great nobles in the country. Intervening rashly will only put ourselves in danger.

It is better to stay put and wait for the situation to develop. After the political situation becomes clear, we can decide on the next step!"

Kane's words made Hudson very disappointed. It seemed that he was seeking the country with his old age, but in fact he was missing a good opportunity.

As an emerging aristocrat, he was destined not to have the confidence of the established aristocrats to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. At such a sensitive moment as the replacement of kingship, Hudson could not avoid it if he wanted to.

Especially this storm is not limited to the country, but may also involve some major international forces.

After glancing at the crowd, Hudson turned his attention to the eager financial officer and pointed directly: "Rudolph, please tell me what you think!"

"My Lord Earl, the current situation is not good! The timing of His Majesty's death is too sensitive, and something big may happen.

Especially in our southeastern provinces, the issue of repayment of taxes has caused an uproar. A large number of small nobles gathered in the Governor's Mansion to cry out for poverty.
