When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 1222 Self! Confidence!
“No rush.” Kakulkan’s gaze swept across the painting. “They’re still on Dawn Island.”

The Dawn Federation is not yet fully unified, and only occupies about one-third of the territory.

The vampire army marched from the Nauan River and then took a land route around the area.

Heading straight for the Dawn Federation, without having signed a peace treaty, could easily cause misunderstandings and trigger a chain reaction.

"Still on Dawn Island?! No..." The tone of the majority became impatient.

It's not that most people are impatient, wishing they could have "impatient" tattooed on their foreheads; they are genuinely in a hurry.

Looking at the man sweating profusely, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times, Kakulkan couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

As a blood servant, he was always considered inferior.

Now, even top nobles like the Dassaults have to bow down to him; what a wonderful feeling that is!

But Kakulkan didn't linger on the books for long; after packing up a few paintings, he stopped.

Turning around on the smooth, reflective marble, he smiled and said, "Look, you're in such a hurry. You're just too afraid of the Holy Alliance, that's why you're behaving so erratically."

"Shouldn't we be afraid?" Duo Shi asked almost desperately.

What is the Holy Alliance?

The two Wars of the Thousand Rivers ended the reign of the former Leia royal family once, and the current Leia royal family once.

Pope Sun, through several major theological debates, caused sectarian schisms and chaotic conflicts throughout the empire.

The Holy Alliance is filled with brilliant generals, many of whom are household names.

Jeshka, Andrei, Jeanne, Hakuto, Das, Rudilo...

Those who have fought against the Holy Alliance army rarely have the upper hand; they usually have to flee after just a few rounds.

Looking back now, people may have underestimated Prince Kondai, and even Nigesar.

Looking back now, during the Thousand River Valley War, any one of his armies could have easily swept away his Xianshidian.

"You were afraid before we came, and you're still afraid after we're here," Kakulkan said, shrugging. "Then what happened to our trip?"

As a treacherous predecessor, Kakulkan earnestly instructed: "Who do you think is stronger, the Holy Alliance or the Royal Court?"

"Of course it's Wang Tingqiang."

“You’re just flattering me,” Kakulkan shook his head. “You know what it is, but not why it is.”

Let me put it this way: What the Holy Alliance army has, our Royal Court army also has; what the Holy Alliance army doesn't have, our Royal Court army still has!

It's just a clockwork gun, isn't it? Our royal court has the Blood Pact Gun.

It's just a clockwork cannon, isn't it? Our royal court's Blood Explosion Cannon, with the help of the dwarves, is about to be unveiled.

What else do they have besides that?

Do they have flesh-and-blood Titan Knights? Do they have the strongest tower-shield warriors and ogres on the entire continent?

Do they possess the great blood of Lilith, which connects all vampires, allowing Serfaye to pass commands to almost every high-ranking vampire?

Can Saint Alliance do it?

"I know the royal army is strong, but if the royal army is not there, then it is useless no matter how strong it is."

"Don't worry," Kakulkan laughed. "I know about the Holy Alliance's actions: the warband army is recruiting new soldiers and forming new warbands."

I know there's definitely something new going on.

"Then you still..."

"You're prone to panic. Let me ask you, how long does it take for your army to prepare for an expedition?"

"Uh..." The Grand Master turned his head and beckoned to a minister in black, "How long will it take for our army to prepare for the expedition?"

The minister in black was taken aback, then turned around and waved behind him...

"Alright, alright, are you only satisfied if you call three generations of your family here?" Kakulkan said speechlessly, stopping their attempt to gather more people.

No wonder the Leia people were repeatedly beaten by the Fran Holy Alliance; with the depravity of these nobles, it would be strange if they weren't getting beaten up.

“What I’m trying to say is very simple: even if the Holy Alliance wanted to fight, it wouldn’t be fast enough.” Kakulkan held up six fingers. “Recruiting, training new soldiers, and gathering supplies would take at least six months! They only started making moves last November, and it’s only early February now. My expectation that the remaining half of the legion would arrive in March is already an overestimation of their capabilities.”

After hearing Kakulkan's words, Dolce was somewhat relieved.

Come to think of it, in order to deal with the arrival of the Holy Alliance, he urgently mobilized for three months and only managed to mobilize five or six thousand troops, and a portion of them had to be diverted to guard the Dawn Federation.

Even if the Holy Alliance is twice as powerful as him, they can only mobilize about 10,000 soldiers, including new recruits, so they have virtually no combat power.

By April or May, whether they are truly going to declare war or just threatening, he will have plenty of leeway.

"And I have good news for you: you don't need to be afraid that the Holy Alliance will actually declare war." Kakulkan said, his hands tucked into his pockets.

Most people immediately understood and stuffed two gems the size of pigeon eggs into his hands.

Kakulkan lowered his voice with great satisfaction: "The Northern Army has settled the matter with the dwarves. They will be able to come and help you by April at the latest."

"But wasn't a peace treaty signed?"

"The peace treaty was signed with Fran and Leia, what does it have to do with the Holy Alliance?" Kakulkan patted Dodrus on the shoulder. "You're a member of the Royal Court now, be confident!"

It really is!
Most of the men were genuinely excited at this moment: "Once the vampire army arrives, the Holy Alliance will be reduced to dust."

“Not necessarily. The Royal Court still values ​​the Holy Alliance highly.” Kakulkan smoothed his sleeve, and the gem disappeared smoothly from his wrist. “As long as we can withstand the Holy Alliance’s attack for half a month, the Holy Alliance will not be able to advance an inch.”

More importantly, if the Holy Alliance really makes a move, it would be tantamount to launching a war without a declaration of war.

At that time, all it takes is for traitors like the Magnus to raise their arms and invite vampires to resist the Holy Alliance.

There were two reasons why the royal court sent troops to garrison Piana Castle:
Firstly, to monitor the Holy Alliance and serve as a bridgehead for attacking the Holy Alliance.

Secondly, it would provoke the Holy Alliance, forcing them to take drastic actions, thus allowing the Holy Alliance to intervene in the situation.

The Holy Alliance is developing rapidly, but Serfaye's lifespan is not long. It would be best to end this quickly.

Once the Holy Alliance actually takes action, the problem of the vampires lacking a legitimate cause will be solved.

If you want to govern a region effectively, legal principles and legitimacy are actually very important.

Serfaye certainly had the ability to ignore it, but who would want to waste more time if they could save some effort?

Windmill Land is a typical example. It should have been able to move around at a leisurely pace, but instead, it was scrambling and stumbling around in a hurry.

Serfaye eliminated almost all the princes, but that doesn't mean she was without any constraints.

The most typical example is the uprising of the southern clans that were eyeing the royal court from the south, and the various clans that still exist today.

The structural problems that exist within vampires are still problems that Serfaye cannot solve, or rather, problems that require him to sacrifice a great deal of his own resources to solve.

"Your Majesty Serfaye, your plans are truly flawless," the magistrate complimented.

Kakulkan remained noncommittal, after all, she had killed too many high-ranking vampires, and not all vampires worshipped her.

In particular, her ability to see through the eyes of high-level vampires and transmit sound over long distances is something that terrifies many vampires.

Everyone has moments when they show favoritism.

However, Kakulkan, as a blood servant, does not have this problem.

He then looked at a few more paintings, while the other gentleman, having shed his burdens, eagerly began to introduce them to him.

Listening to the rambling of the sage, Kakulkan couldn't help but ponder the question that had just been asked.

He hadn't originally thought about this, but now that the professor had mentioned it, he himself felt a little uneasy.

Kakulkan followed his master's plan to plant a stake in Xianshidian, as he was responsible for monitoring the Holy Alliance's actions.

However, so far, there has been little progress.

The Holy Alliance is too tightly organized; spies are arrested one by one, and are frequently monitored or reported.

The country's management system, from top to bottom, is both autonomous and autocratic, which is truly bizarre.

But thinking about it carefully, they only started preparing in November. What were they doing all this time? It's definitely too late.

Wang Ting was quick to act, and Kakulkan felt relieved after realizing this. Pointing to the artwork in front of him, he said, "This golden angel statue on a jade throne is said to be the prized possession of Prince Condai?"
