Chapter 597: Chapter 335: The Taboo of Sixty Years Ago!_1

At Viscount Joseph’s Territory, in Viscount Joseph’s Castle, Ivita called in the supposedly bravest and youngest knight on this territory, Knight Kelmu, who naturally, was also the most influential baron within this land.

In the three-storied castle’s parlour, Ivita’s right ring finger, bearing the insignia of the viscount of Viscount Joseph’s Territory, was kissed by the fully armored "Kelmu" Great Knight. This was a very formal gesture of deference to the Lord.

"Lord Ivita," Knight Kelmu said admiringly, "It is an honour to meet you. Your reputation precedes you in Cross Island."

What is the most important virtue for a knight?

It isn’t civilization or adoration for ladies, but bravery and the conquest of new territories.

In the eyes of Kelmu, Ivita, who has continuously conquered dozens of lands on Cross Island, is the most noble feudal individual and encapsulates the true spirit of knighthood over the last hundred years.

It isn’t important whether Ivita is a knight or not.

Just like having a lord who is an undefeated War God, the knights naturally love following a leader like that, because what knights love most is to conquer and to win battles.

Thus, Kelmu not only did not resist Ivita’s rule, he also wholeheartedly endorsed it.

Kelmu, a middle-aged knight who is still young compared to many old lords, has a pair of three-year-old children, yet still retains a strong ambition to move forward.

But the weak rule of the original Viscount Joseph stifled his ambition.

And now, there is a powerful lord over the viscounty, which for him is the most exciting prospect.

However...

With a displeased expression, Knight Kelmu glared at the Flame Giant Lizard Chief and Barbaric Bone Chief standing behind Ivita.

Addressing the two adversaries, he rose from his seat and said, "Lord, are you ready to accept these creatures into your ruling? Of course, I have no right to dictate your actions, but be careful, these foreigners can betray us"

Enraged, the Barbaric Bone Chief retorted, "What did you say? Lord Ivita has already told me about the origin of the Longhair Tribe. Sixty years ago, we all came from the civilized centre of the human world - the mainland. You, descendants of pirates, are the real outcasts of civilization. It’s so loathsome."

The Flame Giant Lizard-man Chief paused, realizing he was the only one not human. The only non-human direct descendant was the Lizard Tribe, classified as a sub-tribe.

He felt somewhat inferior and guilty.

However, he still arrogantly told Knight Kelmu, "We don’t want to trust any humans other than Lord Ivita. It’s not clear who will betray who!"

Thus, the fierce argument between the long-standing rival parties commenced.

Baron Kelmu’s Territory lies to the east of Joseph’s land and borders a swamp. As such, the three had fought each other countless times.

Even under the leadership of the same Lord, their past resentments proved hard to overcome.

Ivita struck at the table with force, immediately silencing the trio who then turned their gaze towards him.

Joe Joseph, the housekeeper, stepped forward and addressed the three. "What are you arguing about? Even if you want to argue, you shouldn’t do it in front of a senior lord. It’s absolutely disgraceful."

"Lord Kelmu, I appreciate your past efforts to defend the territory, but now alignment with the marshland is inevitable and undeniable. Thus, please accept this fact."

Ivita suddenly spoke. "I’ve talked with the residents of the marshland before. They will worship the God of All Things."

"Which means all of you will be followers of the God of All Things."

Joe Joseph, the housekeeper, was surprised.

This...

Then, a joyous look appeared on his face. "Lord, this is a marvellous matter. You can tell The Church about this. The Church will definitely commend you."

"Spreading devotees for the God of All Things is the primary task of The Church. Even in Cross Island, if you can befriend The Church, it will be a tremendous help to you."

Ivita nodded.

He found that after he announced that the inhabitants of the marshland have converted to worship the God of All Things, the hostility of Knight Kelmu against the Barbaric Bone Chief and Flame Giant Lizard-man Chief was significantly reduced.

Probably, this is the reason why The Church can create sacred international relations in this world.

Even if they belonged to different languages, appearances, or even different races of intelligent beings, they could find common ground through faith...

Humans tend to reject others due to their differences.

Therefore, many people prefer to follow the crowd, they are averse to being different from others.

Using faith as a commonality, a common cultural group can be formed.

This is the main reason Ivita asked the inhabitants of the marshland to convert to the God of All Things. Only in this way, can the people of other territories, who have long been suffering from the Lizard and Longhair Tribes, accept these communities.

The Longhair Tribe can provide him with excellent Cavalry Troops, and the Lizard Tribe can provide about five hundred Dragon Vein Lizardman Sorcerers.

These troops will be crucial to the future restoration war with the Alsace Kingdom.

Ivita glanced at Knight Kelmu in the room. Among the Great Knights in command, there are only he and the Iron Mountain Knight.
