The drawback is that it might exhaust the clergy heavily, and Her Majesty the Queen would need to step in.

However, last year the church extracted a large number of Sequence Extraordinary from our country to join the military, leaving the remaining clergy unable in will and ability.

Secondly...

Although they didn’t say, everyone understood implicitly.

Seeking help—Black Sorcery!

In a place like the Kalmar Union, black sorcery is even more politically incorrect than in the church’s core diocese, the Holy Silver Empire, to the point where it’s sinful even to think about it, let alone to speak of it.

The young Earl waved his hand vehemently at them:

"Believing the church is reliable is like believing I am the Savior."

As a lord, he deeply understood what those power-hungry clergy from the Orthodox Church were really like.

Encroaching on land, collecting tithes, selling Indulgence Certificates, blessing young boys; they spent hundreds of years and countless resources building a cathedral with a face of mercy, yet when their assistance is needed, they show a different face.

Many people have long been dissatisfied with the church, not merely for a day or two. The church is not just tormenting the Protestant Nobility of the Holy Silver Empire; they are indiscriminately tormenting everyone.

If it weren’t for such a widespread public foundation, Protestant Doctrine wouldn’t have a soil to grow in.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the doctors, he finally said with a sullen face:

"Leave it to me, I’ll find a way."

As he turned to leave, the doctors clearly saw the back of their master, adorned entirely with various tattoos. In the center of his back, amidst a group of beasts, there was an image of a person.

Holding a spear and a scimitar, exuding an aura of fierceness, with two ravens perched on his shoulders, yet a halo of the Saint behind his head.

It mixed the traditional beliefs of the Bayfolk and elements of the creator, presenting a chaotic yet charming beauty.

Moreover, the facial features were overly abstract, matching the style of other beasts on his body—possibly the work of a [Beast Tamer], all in a rugged,

Yet the runes on either side clearly identified the human figure tattoo.

On the left is "Wild Hunt King," on the right is "Father of Healing," and in the middle is "Protect Me Safely," though translating it as "Safe Travels" makes no difference.

What the Earl had tattooed on his back was none other than a creatively altered image of Byron, the "open-eyed Byron"!

Those who understand would break out in cold sweat for him.

Evidently, this one political opponent targeted by the [Bearkin] belonged to the younger generation’s extreme admirers of the [King of the Wild Hunt].

The reason for admiring Byron seems to be nothing else.

Just look at the other beasts on his body, clearly thinking that [King of the Wild Hunt] is far fiercer and more ruthless than those animals!

It’s unknown whether Byron, upon seeing this blasphemous image of himself, would grant him "Divine Favor" or "Divine Punishment."

Meanwhile, on the Faroe Islands, the support forces arrived tardily.

The main force was the follow-up Legitimate Fleet that was previously unable to gather, with the Privateer Fleet of the traditional Church Faction nobility and Pirate Fleet trailing further behind.

Crunching... crunching...

They had no choice but to stop their ships from afar, stepping on snow to reach the icy harbor littered with corpses and stranded warships.

The fleet had already received news of the [Bearkin] Crown Prince’s Life Gem shattering, now merely searching for the opponent’s body and survivors, and restoring the full picture of the battlefield.

The Hightins Strait Fleet, seen as their adversary, had a total of seven fleets, with four main fleets, each averaging around ten battleships of Third Level and above. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Normally, stationed at different ports to defend different sea areas, ready to fully assemble for civil war, but they must disperse as soon as the battle is over.

The situation of the Kalmar Union is almost identical.

However, being a Tri-Nation Alliance with its administration systems, there are more factions within the military, and the Nobility of the Three Kingdoms each have their own interests.

The Legitimate Forces firmly controlled by the Royal Family had long been partly taken by the [Evernight Queen] to participate in battles in the Holy Silver Empire.

Since receiving orders from the church, [Bearkin] formulated a battle plan immediately.

Then persuaded the Neutral Faction, continued drawing Legitimate Fleet, internal defense switch, traveled at double speed; this entire process took time.

Total calculation, the whole process didn’t even take a week.

The Legitimate Forces gathered on the Faroe Islands were just slightly stronger than a main fleet of Hightins, roughly having ten plus battleships, dozens of cruisers, with a total manpower of around six thousand.

[Evernight Queen] and [Bearkin]’s successive battles had nearly emptied the foundation of

Kalmar Union.

Initially, they never planned to ignite a Battleship duel against the Kingdom of Hightins.

They believed the Strait Fleet suffered heavy losses after civil war, with far larger colonies than those of the Kalmar Union needing defense, so the fleet would inevitably disperse sooner or later.

The dazzling Interdiction Cruiser Fleet was heading to the Bantaan Archipelago, the Phantom Fleet was returning to the Southern Continental Rift Trench, the Pirate Fleet was also heading back to Pirate City Black Sails Harbor...

As long as they gathered their forces, waiting for the timing, they could use the [Dressing Case], harboring a Crippled Demigod Theocracy, to capture an entire fleet, directly raiding Royal Capital of Kingston, guarded by no more than one main fleet.

Implementing decapitation tactics, creating a central bloom.

If they could eliminate the King [King of the Wild Hunt] Saint Byron, who killed all legitimate heirs, the Kingdom of Hightins would have no legitimate successors anymore.
