Chapter 044, Profound Lesson!
"What, you said he killed the vulture?"
"Yes, the vultures are dead. ”
"It's too arrogant, it's too arrogant, you have to kill him, you have to kill him. ”
In a certain villa in Saudi Arabia, the fifth senator sat in the conference room, and around him were seven projections, which were the ten elders of the senatorial council, and each of them was shocked at this time, because the left hand not only did not agree, but even killed the vultures they sent to negotiate.
This is no longer as simple as a provocation, but red. Bare. Bare. declared war on them, in their eyes, Canglong would not dare to be so arrogant even if he didn't agree, but Canglong did so, and even gave the vulture's head to the intelligence organization of Saudi Arabia.
"Kill him!" said Elder Four coldly, "I'll send the Templars immediately. ”
"Let the Assassin League prepare. Elder No. 1 spoke, "We must teach him a profound lesson." ”
"Is it just a lesson?" the faces of the other patriarchs changed.
"This lesson must be exchanged for life. "Elder No. 1 said coldly, since the formation of the Senate Council, they have not encountered this kind of thing, who would dare to kill their envoy?
In Rome, the capital of Italy, there is an independent state, which is also the smallest country in the world, the Vatican, which is also the seat of the Catholic Holy See, at this time in the famous St. Peter's Basilica, an old man dressed in white and wearing a top hat pondered, and under his seat there were cardinals from dozens of dioceses in Europe.
In ancient times, the power of the Holy See was very great, and the famous Crusades were launched under the authorization of the Catholic Pope, and the power of the Pope at that time was even higher than that of the Emperor of the Roman Empire, and the main target of the Crusades was the Arab countries that believed in Islam.
The war was fought for more than 200 years, and both sides suffered losses, and it can be said that the Crusades were a war between two of the world's largest religions, and also a war between two people, and the supreme power of both warring parties at that time was the pope, one was the Catholic pope, and the other was the Islamic caliphate.
Before the Crusades, the Prophet Muhammad was born and Islam was founded, and at the end of the war more than 200 years later, Catholicism ended in defeat and had a great change in the whole of Europe, that is, from that time on, the clergy began to decline and the imperial power began to consolidate.
But the development of religion to the present, the influence of the Catholic pope is not inferior to that of the leader of any country in the world, even if the president of the United States sees the pope, he has to be respectful, after all, who wants to offend a religious organization whose believers are all over the world and transcend the country?
The cardinals had doubts on their faces, and it was a little unusual for the Pope to suddenly convene all the bishops, after all, this was not a normal meeting, and it had been more than two hours since they arrived here, but the Pope had been silent and did not speak.
"Pope, what is it that is so serious that all the cardinals in Europe need to be summoned?" At this moment, the cardinal of the French district asked, in the Vatican they generally do not call the pope, but directly the pope, and the pope is only called an outsider.
"Pope, is something big happening?" asked the cardinal of the English district.
The others couldn't help but ask, but Pope Mario didn't say a word, his heavy gaze swept over the dozen or so cardinals present, and finally sighed, at this time everyone's faces changed, when will the Pope sigh too?
It's no wonder that the Pope can be said to be the most comfortable errand in the world, unlike a national leader, who needs to deal with a lot of things, all he has to do is to manage a large diocese, and the rest is to visit countries around the world, but the major dioceses have cardinals to deal with, and it is generally not a big deal, this is not a feudal society, there will be a conflict of faith, or there will be wars because of faith.
In such times of peace, the pope's visit is in fact a publicly-funded tour, and most of the countries, with the exception of a few, do their best to take care of the pope.
"Remember that war hundreds of years ago?" said Mario.
All the cardinals nodded, the Crusades were launched by the Catholic Church, and of course they remembered that they were facing the Turks and Arabs at that time, both of whom believed in Islam, and although it seemed that both sides had won and lost, in fact the Catholic Church was more defeated than victorious, and even in the end the incomparable position of the Pope was ended.
Of course, their old rival, the Islamic caliphate, was also terminated, but even so, the two sects continued to grow rapidly around the world.
Nowadays, Islam no longer poses any threat to them, and the Middle East is the main diocese of Islam, but now the Catholic brother sects Christianity and the Orthodox Church have formed an encirclement of Islam and are slowly infiltrating it, and religion has always depended on the development of the country.
But there are basically not many powerful Islamic countries in the Middle East except for one Saudi Arabia, but there are countless Catholic countries, and what else can they ask for?
The war of a few hundred years ago was a few hundred years ago, and what does it have to do with it now? Could it be that the Pope still wants to further destroy Islam? This is almost impossible, first of all, Saudi Arabia will never agree to it, although this country has close contacts with Western countries, it will never make concessions on the issue of faith.
"I'm talking about Iraq!" Mario said suddenly, "For so many years, the penetration of Catholicism into the Middle East has been unfavorable, and the church that has just been established in Iraq is a fulcrum for us to spread the doctrine in the future, but I didn't expect that now the Prophet Army actually besieged Baghdad." ”
Hearing this, everyone understood what the Pope meant, this is obviously to deal with the Prophet Army in Iraq, but although they have great influence, they do not have an army, the Vatican is indeed a country, but even the Roman police are responsible for security here, let alone send troops.
But at this moment, the British cardinal said: "The Pope means to send Templars?"
Mario nodded, although he is the Pope, but the Holy See is not alone in the final say, especially in the matter of sending out the Templars, this is the ultimate power of the Vatican, and it is not easy to send out to carry out tasks if there is no major event.
After all, the Templars were just that, and higher-level Templar Assassins and Saints generally did not appear, and although the Pope could directly mobilize Templars and Saints, there must also be a reason that was very worthy of their dispatch, and Mario didn't think that the Templars could help a small dragon.
"But isn't it a bit too much to just protect a church and send Templars there?" said the French cardinal.
The same is true of the other cardinals, the German cardinal said: "Isn't it okay to ask the peacekeepers for help directly? Not to mention that there are still American troops in Baghdad, and it should be very simple to protect the church." ”
Mario frowned: "But this is related to the spread of the doctrine, and the defeat of the American army in Iraq, if the Templars deliberately help and appear in Iraq, then this is undoubtedly a psychological comfort for the American army, and the Lord will protect them children in a foreign land." ”
This time all the cardinal archbishops did not speak, and they were very worried that the Pope might break their peaceful days, in case they were allowed to go to Iraq to spread the doctrine, or on the territory of Islam, those people with extreme beliefs would not only not let them have a good life, but might even kill them.
Therefore, in the end, all the cardinals agreed, and decided to send twenty Templars over, which was already twenty percent of the ultimate power for the Holy See, which had only a hundred Templars, although there were Templar Assassins above the Templars, and there were Saints above the Templars, but whether they were Templars or Saints, they all belonged to the kind of people who were ethereal.
This is not to say that they are divine, of course, but that they do not fully obey the orders of the Holy See, and unless the Holy See is in a major crisis, they will always be in penance, especially the saint.
In the end, Mario ordered a group of people led by a Vatican bishop to move into the diocese of Baghdad and confess the American and peacekeeping forces there.
At the same time, the Basra Intelligence Service received news from the military that the Vatican Holy See would send clergy to Baghdad in the hope that the Prophet Army would let them go.
"How many people are here?" asked Canglong.
"More than a hundred, but twenty of them have special statuses. Su Su said, "It could be those Templars." ”
"Oh, so they don't come directly to Basra, do they?" said Canglong strangely.
"I don't know, but I think the twenty people will come directly to Basra, and the others will go to Baghdad, General Simon asks you, will you let it go or not?" asked Susu.
"This Pope is still really insidious!" Canglong's face was heavy, "but since he dares to play with me to borrow a knife to kill, then I will do what he wants." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think it's just those Templars, I need to call the dragons and the black man?" Canglong shook his head, "I'm worried about the Templar assassins, these people are the most terrifying guys in the Holy See, I once met one, and he is also a traitor to the Holy See, although I killed him in the end, but it was not easy, of course, at that time it was to protect Wanwan, but there are eight such terrifying guys, and there is an even more powerful saint!"
"Is there really such a powerful person?" In Su Su's eyes, Canglong is already a pervert, so how strong are these terrifying guys in Canglong's eyes?
Canglong didn't speak, but the solemnity on his face had already told Su Su the answer......
