Everyone has their own thoughts, and that's perfectly understandable.
However, when it comes to the will of the progenitor, it must be strictly followed without any mistakes.
In just six months, Norton used Vampire to transform all officials at all levels of the Boya Empire into Vampire, thereby giving him absolute control over the Boya Empire's government.
But after all, it's a human kingdom, and the conversion rate of Vampire is not high. Plus, Norton's reputation is tarnished.
This meant that even though Norton had turned officials at all levels into Vampire, he still didn't have a high degree of control over the Boya Empire as a whole. After all, the top-down approach of outwardly complying while inwardly resisting made it impossible to truly govern.
As for why Yalian III wasn't transformed into Vampire to gain absolute control?
This can only be attributed to the extraordinary wisdom of the emperor of the Boya Empire!
As a human kingdom, the old emperor of the Boya Empire preferred to die in his bed rather than become Vampire. This made the Boya Empire's royal family completely represent the will of humanity and vow to uphold the orthodoxy of the human race!
This is why the Boya Empire's royal family had such a high degree of control over the entire country.
In a nation that worships humanity, if the royal family of the Boya Empire were to be transformed into Vampire, they would no longer be able to represent the glory of human royalty. Their control and integrity over the Boya Empire would undoubtedly be greatly diminished. A Imperium of Man emperor becoming Vampire? This would undermine legitimacy, inevitably leading to the emergence of a new royal family somewhere, vying for power and destiny. Countless individuals would rush to set an example for themselves, claiming to be the new legitimate ruler!
If Yalian III had remained the emperor of the human race, then the human royal family would not have died, their legitimacy and integrity would not have been lost, and the honor and dignity of the royal family would still exist. In that case, no one in the Boya Empire would be able to re-establish a royal court under the name of the legitimate human race.
If he doesn't turn Yalian III into Vampire Vampire, he'll still be useful. But if he is, he'll become completely useless. Not only will he be useless, but Norton will go from being a powerful figure like Cao Cao who controls the emperor to become the common enemy of the Boya Empire.
Therefore, based on this point alone, he had no need and could not turn Yalian III into Vampire.
Furthermore, Yalian III was indeed a wise and benevolent ruler. After being arrested by Norton, he only conveyed one message to the outside world. "I, Yalian III, may perish, but Boya cannot perish! If the Yalian royal family dies after three generations, then anyone can forge imperial power and continue the legitimate lineage of the Boya Empire!"
With just this one sentence, even His Majesty Norton, with his extraordinary power, had no other way to deal with Yalian III.
Even though he knew that Yalian III's words were largely a way of giving himself an advantage, he still said them anyway, and that made them all the more significant.
He could indeed spend some time transforming the Boya Empire into the Vampire Empire, but now that the Papal State have already deployed troops, and in a way that has greatly alarmed Norton, time is of the essence.
Therefore, Norton could only control Yalian III and use that power to threaten officials at all levels, turning them into Vampire to control their lives and deaths, but he could not control their thoughts.
As the first empire of mankind, the Boya Empire has an extremely high level of loyalty to the royal family. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor is currently in Norton's hands, making them hesitant to act, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to be turned into Vampire obediently. Immediately, someone would lead an army to quell the rebellion and punish Norton.
In order to prevent the Boya Empire's army from collapsing during the war and to prevent the human knights from engaging in sham battles, Norton had no choice but to demote Yalian III to the army and have him lead the Boya Empire's forces to conquer the Papal State!
In this way, with the emperor present, these soldiers will surely fight bravely to protect his safety. The ministers of the Boya Empire will also truly demonstrate their abilities to ensure the emperor's safety on the front lines. Even if Yalian III is unfortunately beheaded by the Church, his death will ignite the anger of the Boya Empire, thereby making the army more determined to fight.
As for whether he will betray them, that's almost certain. After all, how could an emperor accept his current fate?
However, his betrayal will only occur after the conquest of the Papal State. After all, Yalian III is a smart man. He knows that Norton and the Vampire have absolute weaknesses. On the contrary, the Church's Werewolf and the Holy Judgment Order can only be worn down by real battles, without any tricks.
Given Yalian III's intelligence, he would surely lie low in the army for the time being, and wait until the Papal State were destroyed and he no longer had to worry about being beheaded. That would be the time for him to turn around and target Norton.
However, Norton didn't care. Once the Papal State were destroyed and the Holy Judgment Order was wiped out, he, Norton, would become completely invincible!
Without the aid of extraordinary force, no one can insert the cross, imbued with the holiness of God, into his heart when he is on guard.
Following His Majesty Norton's betrayal of the Boa Empire's royal family, the army is now finally ready for war. A great battle is imminent, and the closed and incompetent Papal States are bound to face the righteous iron fist of the Blood Ancestor Norton!
Springtime, 1990, Norton; the last snow had just melted.
As a spring breeze caressed the willows, the Blood-Boya Empire Allied Forces, which had been preparing for some time, marched in a mighty procession toward the Papal State.
Wars also require careful timing. Winter, with its snow-covered landscape, would undoubtedly result in heavy casualties when troops were sent out. Norton was quite aware of this, since even Xi'er's army couldn't withstand the heavy snow in Moscow. He didn't believe that heavily armored knights in this era could hold out.
This war was called the ' Epic Holy War ' by His Blood Clan Progenitor Norton.
They vowed to use this holy war to shatter the cannibalistic Holy See, eradicate the ignorant Church faith, and wipe away its filthy holiness!
Although Norton called this war an ' Epic Holy War,' many people actually jokingly referred to it as a ' Holy Church Orthodoxy War.'
Because, according to rumors, this Blood Ancestor Norton was also a member of the church who came from within the church, this war can be clearly characterized as an internal church struggle!
Even in the historical records of various countries, the name given to it is mostly: ' Blood Progenitor Calamity '.
The reason for all of this is that the current instigator of the war, His Blood Clan Progenitor Norton, has used truly unscrupulous methods.
Although the Papal State has been branded as a public enemy due to its ruthless methods of slaughtering royalty, the current Norton progenitor enjoys an even greater reputation.
His troops were also divided in their ranks.
Leaving aside the soldiers of the Boya Empire who were forcibly dragged into the battlefield, the Blood Court's methods of treating Vampire as less than human have caused countless Vampire to go against its ideology.
Forced labor, forced enslavement, forced oppression on the battlefield... This Blood Clan Progenitor embodies almost all the words: brutal, cruel, and cunning.
In reality, he lost the hearts of the people, the military, and the legitimacy of the regime!
But it also makes people more and more terrified!
However, considering that he also came from the Church, these inhuman traits suddenly seem perfectly normal to him.
This is the reputation of the Church!
