Ryan I have to say that this method is very clever.
Combining Royal Authority with divine power instead of extreme separation will definitely bring more benefits to the empire than one plus one.
The most important thing is that in this case, the importance and legitimacy of the Church will not be so absolute.
The empire is also a believer of Lord of Dawn, and the Church is also a believer of Lord of Dawn. I exercise my rights on behalf of Deities, and you also exercise your rights on behalf of Deities.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes within the Imperial Palace, Columbus III personally wrote Baronet System on an artifact scroll. Once written, it will never be changed, which also means that Baronet System is completely recognized and confirmed.
Pairs of eyes were looking forward to it until Columbus III was completed.
So——
"Columbus! Columbus! Columbus!"
Within the Imperial Palace, all the civilians stretched their necks and roared with passion.
"Flor! Flor! Flor!"
The artifact scroll named Proof of Flore is very large. Ryan is not far away. You can see it clearly. The description of Lordship above is of aristocratic class, and it is Light Pioneer.
The original Lordship was just Lordship, a knight-first Lordship under the fifth-class Baron, but now, there is an additional name of Light Pioneer, which means that they are acting for Deities.
The master of the empire, Columbus, is the Pope of these Light Pioneer.
With Holy Scepter in hand, there is no objection to the legitimacy of Columbus III.
The Church's rights were just taken away.
"Umberto!"
Columbus III's voice sounded, and among the eagerly waiting crowd below, a tall knight came out and knelt on one knee below Columbus.
"My noble Monarch, what are your orders?"
Columbus III looked at Umberto, and his voice echoed throughout the Imperial Palace.
"Umberto, a soldier of the Empire's Northlands Frontier Corps. In the 122nd year of the Empire, in Northlands, in the winter when Orcs invaded, he single-handedly killed a tribe of Orcs and opened up a territory of dozens of miles."
"Now, in the name of the empire, in the name of Columbus, I give you that land."
"And you will also become the empire's first Lordship, Deities's first Light Pioneer."
"You will become the master of the Umberto Family, the noble of the empire!"
Umberto raised his head, looked at Columbus III feverishly, and then roared loudly.
"Follow your will and follow the gift of Deities!"
Columbus nodded with a smile, and then called out a few names again, including knights, civilians, and even a slave.
"As the master of the empire, I will release you from your slave status and reward you with the land acquired for the empire. You will become the Lordship of the empire and the Pioneers of the light."
When the slave suddenly became a noble, the people in the Imperial Palace who were eagerly waiting for his name to be called were shocked and couldn't believe it.
Columbus continued to speak after the reward was over.
"As long as you have a bright heart and open up for the empire and Deities, then even a slave has the possibility to become a noble!"
Looking at the cheering and howling people, behind Columbus, there was no sound from where many nobles were sitting.
They were not shocked by what Columbus III did. As political aristocrats, they knew exactly what the other party was doing.
It's just that the person who speaks is the emperor of the empire.
Even a few months ago, nobles like them did this in their own territories, but it would not spread throughout the world like it does today.
These are the basic qualities of aristocrats.
What Columbus is doing now cannot make these nobles lose their composure.
Moreover, their role here is just to make this matter more authentic.
"The Lordship of the empire will be recognized by the world! Whether within the empire or outside the empire, Lordship will always be a noble!"
Columbus is still roaring, setting off a storm of faith like a real Pope.
Immediately afterwards, he began to invite observer groups from various countries to come forward one by one and imprint the King tokens belonging to them on the scroll. Each imprint represented their recognition of the imperial Lordship's noble status in their territory.
This scene also made those who watched this scene more convinced.
Until the end, all the kingdoms, principalities, and even Earldom had gone through the cutscenes.
Thousands of eyes fell on the Church that Cardinal Archbishop.
The elderly Archbishop finally opened his eyes. While he was waiting for Columbus III's call, he also murmured to Legion Commander beside him.
"Damon, we are lucky."
Tom Walter, one of the nine Cardinal Archbishops of the Church, second only to Pope, his voice was terrifyingly calm, like the cold wind blowing through the cracks in the window in the dead of winter.
"We are witnessing today the birth of heresy."
"I will witness the glory of Dawn. When Dawn rises, no one can stand in front of the Church, and I will also be bathed in the glory of the Lord."
"Damon, I believe you will eliminate all heresies for my lord."
After Cardinal Archbishop finished speaking, he stood up and walked up to Columbus with his disgusting smile.
He didn't have any expression, just walked towards the other party step by step. At this moment, all the nobles in the Imperial Palace became nervous, and those Legendary secretly stared at this scene closely.
The Church Cardinal Archbishop, who is wearing a bright red robe, and Lions, who is wearing a golden robe, Empire Emperor, are getting closer and closer.
The nobles were not nervous about Baronet System's confirmation before, but now they are extremely worried that Cardinal Archbishop will do something scary.
That Cardinal Archbishop got closer to Columbus III little by little until he was shoulder to shoulder with the other person.
"Tang, my friend..."
As soon as Columbus III opened his mouth, he saw the originally rosy face of Cardinal Archbishop beside him suddenly turn pale, and then his whole body was crumbling. In just one breath, this Cardinal Archbishop was next to Empire Emperor, falling off the high platform like a kite with its string broken.
Bang!!!
The clear sound made Imperial Palace's quiet needle drop audible. Everyone stared blankly at the falling Cardinal Archbishop. Under the high platform of only five or six meters, blood filled the Cardinal's body and spread at the feet of the civilians.
"Ah!!!!"
I don't know who screamed first, and then the whole Imperial Palace became extremely chaotic.
In the distance, soldiers from far away rushed over quickly, Dispel zz the civilians, and blocked them ten meters away.
But it was too late. In order to show how beloved Columbus Royal Family was, none of the Imperial Palace's soldiers came within fifty meters of these civilians today. When they rushed over, everyone could see that Cardinal Archbishop died in front of them, falling from the high platform.
A knight quickly ran up from the side, saying something to Columbus III with a stiff face, and then the emperor of the empire also looked extremely ugly.
Ryan saw that in front of him, the nobles were also commotion at this moment, but no one came forward.
They must avoid suspicion and avoid getting into trouble.
"It's ridiculous that a Cardinal Archbishop, who is as powerful as Deities, could fall to his death."
At the front, Grand Duke Fleming sneered, but then there was endless killing intent.
"How cruel, using the death of one Cardinal Archbishop to start a war."
