For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 86 Omen of Invasion

   After returning to the City of Thorns, William found Vincent in the conference hall of the Rose Palace, who was dealing with internal and external affairs of the palace.

   "Will you be too busy? Would you like to find some helpers to help you share some of the burden?"

   Looking at Vincent, who already had a tired look on his face, William asked.

   To make a magic caster who has just broken through into the legendary realm become so tired, presumably his work recently should not be easy at all.

   It’s no wonder that for the Blackwater Province, where the church’s power is weak, many matters that were originally handed over to the Holy Spirit Church are now handled by the secular bureaucracy. Some time ago, the large-scale cleansing of the Moon Realm worship group in the palace caused a large-scale shutdown of the entire administration, leaving vacancies everywhere, but there was still no suitable person to fill it.

   Vincent even persuaded William before that those officials involved in the worship of the Moon Realm can temporarily hold off for a while until everything is back on track.

   But William firmly rejected this, and said that dealing with the Moon Worshippers was the top priority.

  Tumors must be dug out first, otherwise they will be difficult to get rid of like maggots attached to bones after they have opened branches and scattered leaves.

   But the result of this is that those functions that no one is in charge of are now under the responsibility of Vincent himself.

   Recently, he has been so busy that he hardly has time to rest, and he has to ask him for approval for countless things, big and small.

  This is the case with rulers who have unstable foundations but who hold power alone. Everything has to be done by himself.

   And in the long run, such an arrogant reign is not destined to last.

   "You're joking, if there is really help, then I don't need to be so tired."

   Putting down the file in his hand, Vincent replied with a wry smile.

   Then he asked:

   "But since you ask the presiding judge, is there any solution?"

  William sat opposite Vincent, fiddling with the lacquer seal on the table and said:

   "My suggestion is to reassign those unimportant affairs to the responsibility of the Holy Spirit Church first. You concentrate on rectifying the affairs in the palace and cultivate your cronies, so that you will be much easier in the future."

   In this regard, Vincent asked with a very serious expression:

"But this will bring two long-term problems. First, will this lead to the independence of the Blackwater Swamp because the faith is once again restricted by the empire? Second, will the belief system of the Church of the Holy Spirit be revived? Running counter to your previous goals?"

   In fact, he still had a word to say.

   You wouldn't also say that this is the only way to achieve the ultimate goal?

   Seeing the other party's eyes and understanding what the other party was worried about, William replied:

   "The two issues you mentioned, whether it is the rule of the Royal Family of Riel or the retrograde movement of the Holy Spirit Church, will not be a big problem in the future. You have to expand your horizons in this regard."

   After all, both the Rael Royal Family and the Holy Spirit Church will be resolved as the problem itself in the future.

  William did not wait for the other party's reaction, and continued:

"And I made this suggestion with my own considerations. One is because of Simon's suppression of the Holy Spirit Church before, the Holy Spirit Church that remains in the Blackwater Swamp is basically irrelevant to the worship of the moon. And they have a relatively complete As long as you give some support, they will not expand too slowly, and can greatly solve the current shortage of manpower.”

   In this regard, Vincent said worriedly:

"These advantages you mentioned are exactly what I worry about. It took us more than 20 years to gradually get rid of their influence, and it may not take two or three years for them to make a comeback. If they are allowed to regain control of the believers in the Blackwater Marsh area, At that time, the church will become a tool used by the Central Holy See to restrain us."

   "This Church of the Holy Spirit in Blackwater Marsh will have nothing to do with the Central Holy See in Platinum Province."

  William replied calmly.

   He went on to say:

"And this is also the second point I want to say. In addition to figuring out the principle of the Eighth Holy Spirit's icon blessing, I have a lot of extra gains in my trip to the Sealing Temple. One of them is that now The Holy Spirit Church in the Blackwater Swamp has actually been abandoned by the Holy See. Or to be more precise, the entire Blackwater Swamp has now been abandoned by the Empire, do you understand what this means?"

  William's eyes gave Vincent a chill.

"What's the meaning?"

   Vincent asked anxiously.

"I went to the Sealed Temple in Hongquan Town this time, and found that it had been completely destroyed by the bloated church, and even a lot of moon monsters appeared there. I interrogated their leaders - those moon monsters were all They were summoned recently, not on the Summoning Sun of the Hungry Lady."

   This means that the Rotten Lady can now project her power directly into the world without hindrance.

   Possibly, it's not just the rotten lady who has the ability to project power into the world right now.

Think about it too. Previously, the three goddesses of the moon realm chose Simon Ward as their spokesperson and wanted to control the entire Blackwater Province. The problem is that if this agent is killed, they will give up themselves as if nothing happened. attempt?

  No, they will only choose to find a spokesperson again, or take a more direct approach.

  Especially when they know that the former "disaster" has come back, they are more likely to choose to end the game directly.

"A larger invasion is brewing, Vincent. And all of this is definitely well known to the upper echelons of the Empire. The proof is that after you announced the full takeover of the Blackwater Marsh area, the Empire was hoarding the frontiers. Several corps have not made any moves so far, because they are not used to warn you, but to warn the moon monsters that will come in the future."

  William even felt that Simon’s plan for the independence of the Blackwater Kingdom, which had been brewing for so many years, might have been known to the top of the empire, but because it had little impact on the overall situation, he never intervened.

  After all, whether the Blackwater Province is directly controlled by the Moon Realm or is controlled by a puppet who is submissive to the Moon Realm, it should not make much difference to them.

"Because of this, the members of the Holy Spirit Church who are still in the Blackwater Swamp area are definitely abandoned by the Holy See. So you don't have to worry too much, even now they may still have some illusions about the Central Holy See in Platinum Province. In the future, when the Moon Realm begins to fully invade the Blackwater Swamp, they will naturally understand their situation. So at this stage, they will be directly activated, and in the future, they will become the backbone that I will use to replace the Central Holy See."

   Hearing William's words, Vincent only felt a chill down his spine.

   Now is the time to discuss how the Holy See should be replaced in the future? How to solve the imminent Lunar Invasion is the biggest problem, right?

   I will update a chapter first, and I will post the rest when I finish writing the testimonials.
