Renard looked at the six notes, and suddenly felt a little headache, and he couldn't help muttering: "The Northern Continent is about to change the sky!"

Fortunately, he now barely has the ability to protect himself, and if he is given another two years, he may not have the strength to compete with various forces.

His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the dull sound was clear to ask.

Half an hour later, he ordered: "A meeting of the sergeants will be held at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Robertson bowed to the order, and then walked out the door quickly.

Not long after the other party left, another magic messenger flew in from the window.

Renard sighed helplessly, he had received more and more news recently, and all that was sent here was important information, and he couldn't even read it if he didn't want to.

And judging by the form of this magic messenger, it is the highest courier for the transmission of secrets, and is rarely used in general, except in case of emergency.

Renard took out the note from the magic messenger's body and unfolded it to reveal two lines of small print: On February 2, the Holy See Divine Descent Ceremony has been completed, and three days later, the southern expedition will be carried out under the pretext of eliminating heresy.

The Southern Crusade to clear the heresy so quickly!

Lei Ye couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the other party was too anxious, right?

Fortunately, the two sides are thousands of miles away, and the Holy See is afraid that it will take several years or even decades to fight here, and this is still a guarantee of success.

He touched his chin, his face full of sarcasm,

This excuse is really perfunctory, is this a complete tear of the skin?

I don't know how the other empires will respond.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the military meeting proceeded as usual.

When everyone heard about the Holy See's southern expedition, their expressions were different, and the most common one was worry.

Alice was allowed to attend this meeting, after all, she is now promoted to the Epic Powerhouse and is qualified to sit here.

Because of Carlos, she didn't have a good impression of the Holy See: "The Holy See has been encroaching on other countries in the name of clear heresy for the past ten years, and this time it is going south under the same pretext, and I don't know how many people will suffer." ”

Vivien also applied to participate in this meeting after learning about the Holy See's southern expedition, and she acted very calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Renard was sure that the other party had known about this for a long time, but he was just deliberately concealing it.

He wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided to let her participate in the discussion, because he wanted to know something useful from the other party.

So after Alice expressed her opinion, Lei Ye looked at Vivian, his eyes were full of questions, as if to say: Don't you want to say something?

Seeing this, Vivian sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to worry too much, even if the Holy See conducts a southern expedition, you will not be affected, and it is estimated that the border of the Morton Empire will be silent." ”

Renard nodded thoughtfully, then motioned for her to continue.

Vivien spoke again: "Since the failure of the last crusade, there has been a split in the Holy See......"

Listening to what the other party said, Renard's understanding of the Holy See gradually deepened.

In fact, the Holy See is no different from other countries, except that the heads of state of other countries are called kings, and the Holy See is called the pope.

To be more precise, the Holy See is more like a united empire headed by the Pope and supplemented by the Twelve Cardinals.

They have their own gods and serve different sects, and they are only brought together by the common label of the god stick.

The situation was not improved until the fourth pope suppressed the twelve cardinals with a thunderbolt and integrated the crusaders and the Inquisition.

However, this dominance did not last long, and by the time of the seventh pope, the Inquisition suddenly rebelled, weakening the papal power.

Until the failure of the Eastern Crusade, the prestige of the Pope was swept away, the Holy See was completely divided internally, and two factions emerged.

One was the Crusader headed by the Pope, and the other was the Inquisition headed by the Twelve Cardinals.

And this southern crusade initiated by the Pope was not supported by the Twelve Cardinals and the Inquisition.

Reynard listened to Vivien's narration, and then understood why she was so calm, it turned out that the other party was an oppositionist.

At this time, Lei Ye completely let down his guard, not believing the other party's words, but based on the current distribution of forces in the Northern Continent, he was sure that what the other party said was true.

After the failure of the Holy See's crusade, it was divided internally, and other vassal states became independent.

After these hundreds of years of development, several powerful forces have been formed.

The first to bear the brunt was the Constantinople Empire, followed by the Morton Empire, and then the Albia Empire, and the Orc Empire and the Principality of Helo were never ruled by the Holy See.

Judging from the map, if the Holy See wants to hit the Cape of Horn here.

Along the way, you must deal with two extremely powerful nations, the Morton Empire and the Constantinople Empire.

Before that, it is necessary to ensure that several kingdoms and principalities along the way are successfully captured.

Even if the Holy See was lucky enough to win these countries, if it continued south, it would have to pass through the lands of the Duchy of Heluo, then several principalities, and finally reach the Kingdom of Lindbergh.

Further south, the kingdoms of Helsinki and Arthur and Rowling.

Not to mention anything else for the time being, it is estimated that after the Holy See defeated the Morton Empire and the Constantinople Empire, it will have no strength to continue to go south.

Even the chances of the Holy See defeating these two empires are infinitely close to zero, which is why Vivien dares to guarantee that the other side will die down when it hits the border of the Moulton Empire.

Vivien continued: "Actually, there are many factions within the Crusaders, and many of them do not want to start an indifferent war because of someone's ambition, because war means death. ”

"Coupled with the constraints of the Twelve Cardinals, His Majesty the Pope will fail this expedition to the south. ”

Renard knows that as the saying goes: if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

There are teammates who are hindered, and it is difficult to win.

Renard sighed deeply, leaning back in his chair and listening to the crowd's routine.

Now that the northern part of the mainland is completely in chaos, and his own Gannan province is not very peaceful, he does not even have the right to speak in this poor and remote country, and now he can only wait for the clear attitude of other countries.

At the end of the meeting, the crowd dispersed again, preparing for a war against the demons.

As time passed, Renard's nerves grew tighter, and he was recruiting and expanding his armaments every day.

The devil is coming, the world is in chaos, and in order to seek a slim future, he is determined to fight with the heroes of the mainland.
