Chapter 268 Reaper's Faith

It is also impossible for the Knights of Glory to accept the "protection fee" from the surrounding lords and the enemy Ansino royal family.

The Ansino Kingdom was originally resource-poor, and if it weren't for the rise of maritime trade, it would have been almost impossible to develop. Lansas was the most resource-poor region in the entire kingdom.

Not only the land is not suitable for the growth of crops, the population is sparse, and the geographical location is also awkward and special.

The embarrassing thing is that the province of Lansas is on the border of many countries in the north, which also causes the Knights of Glory to actually become a barrier to the north of the Ansino Kingdom.

The special thing is that the southwest of Lansas Province is the terrifying poisonous fog swamp, and the southeast is the endless Shakei Mountains.

This means that if the northern countries want to invade the Ancino Kingdom, they must pass through the province of Lansas, or they can only detour thousands of miles and enter the Ancino Kingdom from the west or east.

In this way, it seems to be a bit of a loss.

The northern countries have negotiated with the Knights of Glory more than once. They just used the road to conquer the Ansino royal family. Not only did Qiu not commit any crimes, but they would also give a large amount of borrowing fees. group.

But the Knights of Glory didn't buy it at all, because their knight beliefs included "protecting the weak".

Of course, the Ansino royal family and them are enemies, but most of the people in the Ansino Kingdom are descendants of the Great Shang Dynasty. They are not protecting the Ansino royal family, but the people in the kingdom.

The northern countries are also very troubled, and they also hate these dead-headed Knights of Glory, but no one dares to provoke them.

Since the Knights of Glory escorted the negotiated Wu Nan hundreds of years ago, they have maintained a number of 30,000 people, no more or less.

The Knights of Glory have their own unique training methods, and they have persisted for decades, never slackening, and have always maintained a strong combat effectiveness.

Although there are only 30,000 of them, no country can dare to claim that they can win the Knights of Glory without using more than ten times the number.

Even if they destroy the Knights of Glory at any cost, what will they do to deal with the Ancino royal family, and there are other countries that are eyeing them.

Since the emergence of superhumans, the strength of the Knights of Glory has grown by leaps and bounds. Each generation of headmasters is at least Tier 3 strength. After the emergence of Tier 5 supernatural beings, the current head Owen Harris has a Tier 4 warrior. Strength.

Since then, no one dared to provoke the Knights of Glory easily.

And the Ansino royal family is also very good, sending a lot of money and military supplies every year to ensure the strength of the Knights of Glory.

Because they knew that the Knights of Glory were there one day, they didn't have to worry about the defense to the north, even though the Knights of Glory had always hated the royal family.

Chen Luo glanced at the Annoxi Praetorian Guards leaving. He shook his head secretly. The peace he bought with money was like entrusting his own safety to the powerful force of others.

This situation can only last for a while, and it is simply wishful thinking to rely on this model for long-term stability.

It has now been a hundred years, and as the wealth of the Ancino royal family is getting bigger and bigger, I am afraid that there will be a big trouble soon.

However, Chen Luo left it behind in an instant, because he didn't care about it at all.

He came here not for the Ansino royal family or the Knights of Glory, but for the candidate of the God of Death.

The southern countries are located in the southernmost remote area of ​​the continent. They are extremely far away from the Church of Light in the north, and there is a huge Chris Empire in the middle. If they want to preach in the south, they can only travel long distances around the west or east of the continent. It takes more than a month to get here by boat.

And even if they came here, all the rulers of the southern countries took the same approach to the Church of Light, mercilessly expelled them, and if they didn't leave, they would kill them directly.

Without the existence of the Church of Light, other beliefs would naturally invade, and the number was very large.

Most of the southern countries are in a state of mixed beliefs and multi-gods, but no matter what kind of beliefs, there is a very interesting thing in common, their belief and piety towards death.

Perhaps because of the barrenness of the southern countries in the early years, the countries fought fiercely for resources.

They have seen too much death, and believe in the afterlife and the world after death, so no matter what faith they are, their god will master the realm of death, make his followers blissful, or reincarnate.

After the establishment of the underworld, it was undoubtedly an endorsement of these beliefs. Even ordinary people and rules who had no beliefs began to join these religions one after another, which greatly developed many religions including death beliefs in the southern countries.

Today, there are more than ten religious temples in Caro City alone. The sacrifices of these temples have many believers in the city and have great power.

And it's not just the city of Caro, the power structure of the southern countries is basically a ruling organization formed by the three classes of the royal family, the nobility and the temple sacrifice.

Chen Luo is going to choose one of these religions as the final belief of the god of death. As for who can ascend to the throne, it is up to their ability.

Chen Luo was not in a hurry, he walked slowly in Caro City, admiring the style of this southern port city.

Different from the various architectural styles of Biba City, most of the buildings here are magnificent and magnificent, revealing an explosive rich temperament.

The houses and buildings here are generally seven or eight meters high and almost three storeys.

The tallest building in the city is of course the kingdom of the Ansino royal family. The main hall there is almost 100 meters high. Even Chen Luo can see the magnificent palace complex at the gate of the city at this time.

Taking the construction technology of the Western Fantasy World today, it has reached the pinnacle of what the current manpower can do.

The style of the palace is roughly close to the Gothic palaces of the European Middle Ages, and the Florentine style of construction makes Chen Luo feel like he has traveled to the European Middle Ages.

But the prosperity of the city of Carlos, I do not know how many times more than those cities in the Middle Ages in Europe.

The merchant ships from the west coast to the east coast of the mainland, or the merchant ships from the east coast to the west coast, will stop at Carroll City after a long voyage.

This has also made Caro City a meeting point for trade between the east and west of the mainland. A large number of chambers of commerce have gathered here, making the city rich not long after the nautical trade has just flourished.

Now Carroll City handles a large amount of goods every day. There are more than 100,000 workers and slaves busy in the port, and there are countless people who serve the port.

Chen Luo spent half a day browsing around Caro City and saw the dozen or so temples.

After appreciating the customs of the city, he already had a rough plan in mind.
