Pope Richelieu followed Tordano's suggestion and divided the church into two, with the Pope leading the South African Episcopal Church, the Australian Holy Order, and the Italian Holy Celestial Church to attack France, and Francis's Anglican Church, Pacha's St. Mang's Church united with the Holy Jewel Society to attack Germany.

Bishop Pasha stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must not divide your troops. ”

Richelieu asked rhetorically, "Why not?"

"Now we don't know where the main vampire force is, and once the troops are divided, they can easily be defeated by each of them. ”

"Just come. Even if we split in two, neither team is weaker than the sum of its parts. Richelieu's words are not unreasonable, the Brotherhood now has only six families left. Each of the six families has branches of the Church in their territories, and it is difficult for them to divide enough strength to confront the forces of the three branches of the Church while guarding the rear.

"But ......"

Richelieu raised his right arm and said impatiently: "Okay! I have made up my mind, needless to say, let's go their separate ways in three days!"

Pasha questioned, "Why wait three days?"

"The plane of the Senming people is delayed, and it will arrive the day after tomorrow. ”

"Since there is no point in raiding like this, it is better to take it step by step and cooperate with the demons!"

Richelieu snorted coldly, "Open your mouth to the demons, shut up the demons, how many favors have you received from the demons? I don't think I know about your personal affairs with the demons, Pasha, Pasha, because you grew up in the Holy See since you were a child, and you have fallen to this point, abandoning the gospel of the Heavenly Father and mixing with the demons." ”

Pasha explained: "Heavenly Father can testify that I have not lost my faith. Yes, I do do business with demons, but not for my own selfish gain, but to raise money for the church. ”

"That's enough! I'll settle the matter with you, don't mention any demons to me again, or I'll lock you up in the Inquisition now." ”

Pasha still wanted to speak, but was dragged back by Bishop Francis. Francis silently shook his head at him.

Pasha knew that Francis was wise, and knew that the other party dissuaded him for a reason, so he didn't say anything more, and sat back in his place.

After the meeting was dismissed, Pasha trotted out of the church, caught up with Francis, and said, "Brother, why don't you let me speak?

Francis said: "It's not that I won't let you say it, but Your Majesty has already made up your mind, and no matter how much you say, it's useless." ”

"......How could it be?"

Francis stretched out his hand to signal Pasha to silence him, smiled and greeted the oncoming patrol guards, and then pulled Pasha into the garden outside the church of St. Raphael, and said, "Don't you see that in the conference hall just now, everyone looked eager for quick success. ”

"Why don't you persuade you?"

"It's useless! Have you ever wondered why they're in such a state?"

Pasha said: "It's not because I saw that the vampire was not what it used to be, and I was dizzy!"

"It's not that simple. Francis pulled Pasha to sit down on the bench and said, "Let me ask you, why has the Brotherhood been so badly damaged for more than a year?"

"It's because the demons have declared war on the Brotherhood and sent them a head-on blow. Isn't that right?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. But have you ever thought that the Heavenly Father Sect has been fighting against the Brotherhood for more than 2,000 years, and has gained very little, and the Demon Clan has wiped out the seven families of the Brotherhood in more than a year, if you are the Pope, how will you think in the face of such a situation?"

Pasha said as a matter of course: "The vampire is about to be destroyed, and heaven and earth are expected to return to peace, of course I am happy." ”

Francis smiled helplessly and said, "Only a godly man with a good heart like a brother thinks so, but the Pope has a different mind than you. ”

"Huh?"

"The demons have done what the church has not done, and our pope feels that he has lost face. ”

Pasha shouted, "What does this have to do with face? Isn't it the same only way to destroy the Brotherhood? Besides, if it weren't for the Heavenly Father Sect's various sects to contain the various families of the Brotherhood and make it impossible for them to unite together, Chongxu would not have been able to achieve such great results. Also, I helped when he was fighting the Deathclan. Aren't you Anglicans also involved in the fight against the Fallen and the Damned? ”

"I fully understand your words and agree with them from the bottom of my heart. But the Pope, his old man, clearly disagrees with you. In his opinion, only the destruction of the Brotherhood in person can be considered a success. ”

"It's too narrow-minded. Although the Brotherhood is not as strong as the Church, we cannot underestimate the enemy, let alone rush for quick success. We don't even know where the enemy's main forces are now, and what kind of battle we are talking about, we should first establish a complete intelligence network, and then unite all the forces that are willing to fight against the vampires, and clear one city after another, in order to achieve the final victory. ”

Pasha reminded Francis of the words in "The Art of War": "Know your opponent and know your friend, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle. In his opinion, the Pope is afraid that he has not even been able to confide and not know the other, and "death" seems to be the only ending. He said to Pasha, "You are not wrong at all. But following your strategy will take a long time to prepare. ”

Pasha said: "Time is not a problem. The Brotherhood has died so many princes and dukes, and it won't be able to slow down for another 1,000 years. The longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. ”

Francis shook his head, "Brother, don't you understand? In the eyes of our Majesty, the Brotherhood is no longer a threat. His greatest enemy now is the one to the east. ”

"Chongxu? Isn't it, haven't we already reported to him, Chongxu and the ruling demon clan are his own people, and he has angels by his side, and he is the person that Heavenly Father fancies. ”

Francis said, "That's why Heavenly Father is so jealous of him." He is the person whom the Father likes, so what is the Pope? No matter how fierce the Brotherhood is, he will always stand on the opposite side of the Church, and whether they are strong or weakened will not affect the Pope's position. But Chongxu is different, and many people, including us, claim that he is a person that Heavenly Father likes. And the person that the Heavenly Father values is actually the Pope, and Chongxu is now equivalent to the uncrowned Pope of the East, which directly threatens the status of His Majesty the Pope. ”

Pasha suddenly realized, "It is precisely for this reason that the Pope is in a hurry to find a decisive battle with the Brotherhood? He wants to destroy the Brotherhood as soon as possible and start a war with the demons?"

"That's right! Over the past year, the growth of the demon race has exceeded our expectations, and the Pope is afraid that the rise of the demon race will drag on for a long time, and the church will be powerless to fight, so he wants to end the current battle as soon as possible. ”

Pasha was dumbfounded, "How can this be? No, I'll have to talk to the church. ”

Francis grabbed Pasha and said, "Come back! ”

"Then I can't let the church toss around and do nothing!"

Francis reminded: "When you go to prison, you really can't do anything." ”
