Game Mind of a Medieval Modern Person - Chapter 155



Only Noblemtl

155. The Revenge of a Saint Lasts a Lifetime There is a difficult problem that has persisted for a long time.

The question is which is better, order or chaos.

Order brings peace, but chaos brings opportunity.

Since each had a clear price, it couldn’t be said that one was absolutely right.

Order ultimately leads to inequality and tyranny, and chaos brings death and danger.

What matters is the antithesis.

As with all things in the world, order and chaos can be beneficial or harmful depending on how people use them.

And I knew how to pursue order, but also how to use intrigue and trickery to create chaos and profit from it.

Of course, other people often used inappropriate words like ‘command’ to refer to it.

There is a more meaningful and excellent expression, ‘creative activities for value creation.’

Unfortunately, Bishop Penrad also belonged to the former group.

Bishop Penrad, Senista, his gray beard trembling, chided us in a loud voice.

“Bishop Powis! What on earth are you doing! You barge in with armed knights and declare that you will act on my behalf?! Moreover, you said that you would support His Highness Prince Penrad, so how can you put down your chains and accept the fleet of Yuvas?”

It’s to the level of asking why you betrayed me without even saying anything.

It seemed that the misunderstanding had deepened due to lack of communication, so he tried to explain in a quiet voice.

“I did feel that there was room for misinterpretation. Let’s clear up the misunderstanding first. I just felt compelled to step forward because the Penrad Diocese seemed unable to mend its internal divisions.”

“Your Majesty, your place of assignment is not Penrad, but Powis. This is a clear overstep of authority! I will report to His Holiness!!!”

At first glance, it may seem like a stretch, but in principle, it is correct.

In principle, all bishops are of equal status.

This also applied to the cardinals who had the power to elect the Pope.

In reality, it is a bit different, but in name and principle, cardinals and ordinary bishops are equal, which is the rule of the church.

It was natural that there was little difference between the bishop, who was a cleric, and the bishop who was in charge of all practical administration.

But I was given an excuse to prepare for this moment.

“A bishop may have a place of business, but to a priest who has sworn to protect humanity, the whole world is his place of business.”

“After Bishop Powis!”

“Do you not feel a sense of crisis when you see the decision of King Penrad, who is attacking his own brothers of the same faith while neglecting the pagans right in front of him, claiming that he will protect his own rule?”

“Didn’t you provoke me, you…!”

Bishop Penrad Senista was a much more stubborn man than one might think.

To counter him who is opposing by bringing in the orthodox view, we must bring in a more hardline orthodoxy.

I deliberately ignored Terveer’s strange gaze and held his back.

So that you can look as confident as possible.

“This author has been shut in for nearly two years, leaving everything up to Yubas and doing nothing. It is questionable whether he has any will to fight against the heretics. Therefore, it was necessary to test him, and as expected, Prince Penrad has let me, us, and the royal family down.”

“….”

“Ariaba, the Four-Wielding Sword. He is the leader suspected of being favored by the demons of the human world. Do you really think it is in the best interest of the human world to strike down the army of Yubas, who has been fighting on his behalf, right now, with this enemy right in front of you?”

Just because someone wears a crown doesn’t mean he’s a king.

I have been keenly aware of that fact for 13 years, a horrible nightmare, and Prince Penrad has yet to realize it.

This was a very important turning point for me, who had been plotting the division and destruction of the Duchy of Penrad.

In the end, Prince Penrad chose his crown over those who cried out for his life, buried in the waves of invasion, so he will surely fall at any moment.

And the Church, Bishop Senista of the Diocese of Penrad before my eyes, was not so stupid as to not know this fact.

“The reign of the Penrads will not last long, for the bloodline has lost its reason for being respected. Rather, it is time to pursue extreme measures to preserve the influence of the Church.

Bishop Penrad, why are you still hesitating?”

Even if the means and processes are questionable, what ultimately needs to be resolved is the result.

It is true that Prince Penrad’s power was questioned one way or another, and I just exaggerated the facts so that they could be seen without a magnifying glass.

Bishop Senista, who could not deny reality, responded with a long sigh and a complaint.

“Is that alternative… is that alternative Yubas?”

“It will be Yubas, but it will not be Yubas. It will remain Yubas that we can control.”

“How can you say that? If the current king, who was maintaining the balance, were to die, wouldn’t the authors suspected of being heretics immediately claim to be his successors?”

It was a remark that accurately saw through Yubas’s antics.

Yubas, a country that values ​​meritocracy and nepotism, does not hesitate to take all kinds of risks to achieve results.

In the process, it would not have been strange at all if one’s eyes were drawn to the miracles that the old gods of Ise were said to have bestowed.

Right from the start, he had eyes that were heavily influenced by Ise.

But the common people do not think like Yubas.

Not everyone wants to be at the top.

Some, and most, just want to go about their daily lives peacefully and hope for a better tomorrow.

I reminded myself of that fact by tapping my forehead with my index finger.

“Bishop, trust me. All the chaos and tribulation that has occurred now is a process of preparation for the firm standing of the Church.”

Bishop Senista, who could not give up his doubts until the end, sighed deeply and asked.

“…Are you dogmatic?”

It looks like he’s finally convinced.

I answered with a smile that seemed as kind as possible.

“It means humanity.”

It was true, since I, the stigmata manifestor, was saying it.

It was at this time that Terveer, who had been keeping his mouth shut, opened his mouth.

“Nar… Your Highness. Aren’t you just going to stick it on?”

“Oh my!”

The moment the stigmata appeared, I received a revelation.

Do as you wish.

I was a faithful priest of Lux Stella, who simply followed the revelation faithfully.

***

Now, the Duchy of Penrad was in utter chaos.

The 8,000-strong army led by Prince Penrad and Kardal attacked Yuvas’ scattered expeditionary force.

The four-swinging Ariavar had been steadily raiding the surrounding settlements, but upon hearing the unexpected news of civil war, he began to advance at a tremendous speed towards the fragmented army of Yuvas.

The Yubas Expeditionary Force was hastily putting together its forces only after facing this life-or-death crisis.

Only Admiral Orbe of Yuvas, who had been standing back from all this nonsense, made a rational decision.

While urging Prince Yubas to make a decision, we must also put pressure on the strategically important location of Phenolium to somehow stop Prince Penrad.

After much thought, it seems he finally noticed.

The fact that the author of this chaos is stuck in Phenolium.

June 3, 1216.

The cathedral church of Penrad.

I faced him with Bishop Senista on my left and Terveir, the strongest knight in Powis, on my right.

The cross-eyed Admiral, Orbe, looked this way with a cautious yet wary expression.

Orbe’s greeting contained a great deal of meaning.

“Your Majesty is asking what you wish.”

“To me?”

“Now that you have started, you can finish it. That is what he said.”

Yubas, the Prince of Yubas, has risen to power.

It seems like the skill of tightrope walking between royalty and this world has not gone anywhere and has been developed well.

When he found out that I was the one who started this situation, he immediately approached me to negotiate.

It was quite a smart and quick decision.

This is a fight between the Yubas army, which has been reduced to a bandit group in name only, and the Yubas army that is trying to punish them, so if they fight like this, they will inevitably lose no matter what.

There is only one answer.

It was the intervention of a third party, such as an arbitrator with a character and ability that everyone could accept.

I gestured for them to sit down, mulling over my position.

“King Yubas must know by now that he can never attain the throne without the support of the church.”

“….”

“And yet, the trick they tried to use to avoid acknowledging this fact brought about this situation. All I did was watch the yeast bread rise.”

Then, the cross-eyed Admiral Orbe sits down politely with a puzzled expression.

I don’t think he likes long, straightforward introductions, so I quickly moved on to the main point.

“The solution is very simple.”

first.

He said, folding his index finger.

“What Prince Penrad wants is a position for himself, a feat to clear his name, and an army to help him with that. Yuvath will provide that. Command of the Allied Forces will go to Prince Penradth, and all responsibility and authority for the Yuvath Expeditionary Force will go to Kardal.”

“You’re saying that now…!”

“If you can’t do it. If you can’t do it, then so be it.”

What are you doing?

He explained this short sentence in a fluent manner.

“Rather than fighting and being defeated individually and reducing our power, wouldn’t it be a much better method to hand them over to Kardal, who is also a member of the Yuvas bloodline?”

Admiral Orbe did not back down and fought back strongly.

“Hand over the army to those who dream of usurpation!”

Well, if you can’t recognize it, then you’re an idiot.

I secretly applaud Yubas’s competence for the second time.

This time he said it while stopping.

“Of course, the Church does not want Kardal, who is strongly suspected of being a heretic, to usurp Yuvas. The same goes for other successors who would easily fall for the temptation of heresy. Nevertheless, there is one person among Yuvas’ blood relatives whom the Church is willing to trust.”

“The church, the church…?”

There is no other reason why Orbe calms down instead of getting angry.

The past years of conflict with the church must have been hell for Yubas.

In the end, Yubas is a force that grew through cooperation with the church.

If we can grab that hand again, it might be possible to put an end to the internal strife.

Moreover, it is a golden opportunity to gain a powerful companion church to stand against Kardal and other rascals who dream of usurpation.

It was the moment when a hand of reconciliation was finally extended to bridge the gap of conflict caused by lack of communication and minor misunderstandings.

what…

“Miriam right Yubas.”

“?”

“Recognize her lottery rights and inheritance rights.”

Depending on the person, it might look like a strangling hand.

CLANG!

The sound of chairs rolling around fills the office.

Admiral Orbe, who was grumbling, forced his hand to go up to the hilt of his sword.

But this is different.

As if he had been waiting, Terveer revealed his teeth and drew his sword.

“What kind of blasphemous act is this in front of your Majesty!”

“Disobedience? Are you talking about disobedience while making unreasonable demands?”

ah!

That pride, that final line that I can never admit.

The moment I saw that, a thrill pierced through my skull.

at las…

Finally, after a long wait and countless hardships, this moment has come.

“Then it will be usurped.”

“What…”

“Of course, I can never acknowledge the usurper Kardal as a lord, so I will report to His Majesty the legitimacy of the holy war and completely exterminate the Yuvas bloodline.”

Yubas.

The moment to make this enemy, who has been trying to take my life and tormenting my people, suffer for eternity!
