Chapter 434: The Expedition of St. PePaul

"Marcus that idiot, I'm going to kill his whole family!"

With a "bang-" sound, St. PePaul's whole body stood up directly from the throne, and he glared at Huntington with anger on his face, his hideous face making him look like a fierce beast that chooses to devour people!

None of the nobles and ministers present dared to say anything, and they secretly digested the shocking news that Huntington had just revealed—Marcus led 30,000 soldiers to attack the Penryn Fortress, and in the end they were all killed?

Of course, this is not the point, Marcus, a businessman-turned-nouveau riche, knows very well how many troops he has in the nobles present, and with the miscellaneous soldiers recruited from the mercenaries under Marcus, even against the guardian of the Holy Tomb who is only 5,000, there are still more defeats and fewer victories! I think His Majesty the Emperor also understands this, but judging from the confidence he showed in Marcus before, and His Majesty's anger is too violent, then there is only one truth - His Majesty the Emperor secretly handed over the elite troops to Marcus's command!

As for His Majesty the Emperor's threat to kill Marcus's entire family? The nobles and ministers present did not hear it at all -- not to mention Marcus, who died in battle, Marcus's original wife had already died of illness, and apart from the women who were taken into Marcus's house, Marcus's real relatives were his daughter Xiangji, his niece Princess Victoria, and his son-in-law, His Majesty the Emperor St. PePaul! Could His Majesty still kill his own women and daughters?

The silence of the hall also made Saint-Pepaul regain his composure a little, and he seemed to realize that he had just said too much, so he didn't mention what to do with the Bunian clan, but asked Huntington in a deep voice, "What did the intelligence say?"

"According to the reconnaissance of the battlefield by the secret agents, the final conclusion is that there was a huge arcane explosion in the Penlin Fortress, which directly destroyed the enemy and our army!" said Huntington, quietly wiping a cold sweat.

The other nobles also showed strong disbelief when they heard this, although they did not witness the entire battle with their own eyes, but from the battle report, it was roughly the defenders of the Penlin Fortress who launched a suicidal magic trap and sent the 30,000 troops led by Marcus, plus themselves, to their soul home!

When encountering such a crazy enemy, you really can't blame Marcus for being incompetent, but you can only blame him for being too unlucky! Many nobles couldn't help but think with such pity in their hearts, and of course, more schadenfreude......

"Explosion, explosion, explosion! Damn madmen of the Red Demon Empire!" Saint-Pepao was clearly remembering the arcane explosion that had taken place in the Celestial Dome Castle, which had destroyed the entire kingdom of Abidjan and deprived the Roland Empire of Northern Roth!

"Bastard, I've decided, in a week, I'm going to personally lead the troops to the battle! This time, I must hang all those rebellious ministers and thieves of the Beiluo family!" St. PePaulo roared angrily, and then said to the many nobles below, "As for you, go back and gather the soldiers for me, this time, I will not only recapture Beiluo County, but also penetrate the Valhalla Cross Canyon!"

In the face of San Pepao's sudden decision to start a war, the nobles below couldn't help but look at each other one by one - although the army of the Imperial Expedition to the Abyss has returned, it will take a considerable period of rest to recover to the best condition;

The Minister of War, Duke Marion, immediately stepped forward to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, now that the expeditionary force has just returned, it will take a certain amount of time to recuperate to recover to its best condition, and now is not the best time to launch a war against the Red Demon Empire, so I beg Your Majesty to think twice!"

"I beg Your Majesty to think twice!"

Immediately after, the other nobles and ministers also fell to their knees, leaving only a few figures standing alone—all of them from the Inquisition!

St. PePaul's disgruntled glares at the many nobles and ministers who were kneeling on the ground, but when he saw that several members of the Inquisition were still standing, he immediately asked with great joy: "Why, could it be that the Morgan Church and Pope Murray agree with my plan?"

The Sanctuary called Morgan saluted St. PePaul's face expressionlessly and replied: "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, I think that if you want to start a national war, it is best to discuss it with the inquisitor and several knights before making a decision. ”

Looking at the appearance of several other members of the court, it seems that this is what it means. This immediately disappointed St. PePaul, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I said, why don't you people have so much courage? Rest? Rest and recuperate! Soldiers don't exist as tools of war? What's more, we are resting, and the Red Demon Empire is not also digesting? Now that the expeditionary forces of various countries have returned, we should kill the group of madmen in the Red Demon Empire in one go! And I believe that as long as our Roland Empire makes a start, several other countries will definitely participate in the siege of the Red Demon Empire without being lonely!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" But despite what St. PePaul's words were, Marion, a gentlemanly old man, never wavered, and the nobles, who really did not want war, immediately followed suit and spoke out again to dissuade them.

"It's boring, you people are really boring! If all the nobles of the empire are like you, how can we fight against the group of madmen who don't want to die in the Red Demon Empire? Okay, it's a big deal not to start a full-scale national war, but I must take it back from Beiluo County! Now the meeting is adjourned!" After speaking, St. Pepaul left the main hall directly with a figure of eight steps full of the spirit of a king, leaving behind a group of nobles and ministers who looked at each other.

"Duke Marion, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is determined to take back Beiluo County, what should we do now?" After the departure of Saint-Pepaul, many nobles gathered around Marion, hoping that this iron-blooded duke, who had gone through countless battles, would come up with a reliable idea.

"What else can I do? Since Your Majesty is determined to start a war, we courtiers will naturally follow us to the death! Okay, everyone's territories are located around the imperial capital, so hurry back and reorganize your armaments, and accompany Your Majesty on an expedition in a week!" After saying that, Duke Marion also left the main hall.

Several members of the Inquisition of the Morgan Sanctuary and Maury Pope looked at each other silently, and then walked out of the main hall of the Cloud Sky Stone Palace one after another.

Ten minutes later, at the top of Mount Nicholas, Morgan Sanctuary walked into the Apocalypse Temple Judgment Room.

The adjudication room, where the inquisitor made his decision, can be said to be one of the most honorable places in the entire Apocalypse Temple! However, the adjudication room is not luxurious, the entire room is only less than 100 square meters, in addition to a full-body stone sculpture of the Thunder Saint King, there is only a long table made of platinum, a crystal ball the size of a watermelon is placed at one end of the long table, and a huge map showing the whole picture of the continent of Blanca is placed in the center.

When the Morgan Sanctuary walked into the adjudication room, a man was sitting cross-legged in front of the statue of the Thunder King, presumably praying or something. He was wearing a loose robe, and the back of the robe was embroidered with a 'Z' shaped golden lightning bolt - the entire Inquisition, only the inquisitor's robe would be embroidered with this symbol!

However, since the Inquisition was facing away from Morgan's Sanctuary at this time, his face could not be seen, and the other party's figure was completely hidden in loose robes, making it impossible to distinguish his true gender.

"See Your Excellency Inquisitor!"

The Morgan Church, which treated St. PePaul's coldly in front of it, is now extremely respectful in the face of the judge, and even looks a little cautious, which shows that in the mind of the Morgan Church, St. PePaul, the emperor of the empire, is far less noble than the inquisitor!

"What?"

The Inquisitor didn't turn around, but asked lightly, and as for his voice, it was cold and neutral, so that it was still impossible to tell his true gender from his voice.

It was undoubtedly very impolite to speak with his back to others, but Morgan Sanctuary did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief—when facing the Inquisitor, he, a Templar powerhouse with the strength of the Holy Rank, could not help but feel a great pressure!

"In the parliament just now, after sending back the report of Marcus's defeat in the Penlin Fortress, St. Pepaul decided to launch a full-scale national war against the Red Demon Empire, but was finally dissuaded by Duke Marion and others. In the end, Saint-Pepaolo took a step back and decided to lead the army to take back the county of North Ro, the time was set for a week later. Morgan did not add a single word of personal emotion to his statement, for he knew that the Inquisitor did not like it, and that all he wanted to know was the complete truth.

This means that the royal infantry and the knights of the Celestial Scales will also be dispatched. The Inquisitor said without a hint of fluctuation.

"Yes, that's inevitable. After a pause, Morgan Sanctuary cautiously asked, "Lord Inquisitor, once St. PePaul's personal expedition is really carried out, he will be released from our surveillance under the heavy protection of the Knights of the Celestial Scales and the Royal Infantry, will there be some bad changes?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as all the children of Saint-Pepaul remain in Roland, and there is no fear of what he will do. Even if something does happen to Saint-PePaulo on the battlefield by then, then I will crown another emperor for the empire, a more obedient emperor. ”

Although the inquisitor did not say some things explicitly, Morgan Sanctuary understood them - for example, St. PePaul's should no longer be infertile! As for why St. PePaul's infertility, it is not within Morgan's concern! Moreover, in Morgan's opinion, so far, St. PePaul, a lustful pig, has given birth to more than 200 children, and it is time to stop and stop, so as not to let the surrounding countries always look at the jokes of the Roland Empire!

"My lord, shall we send the Knights to accompany St. PePaul?" Morgan asked cautiously, after thinking about it.

"It is the duty of our Inquisition to protect His Majesty's personal safety, and it is only natural that we send the Knights to accompany us. The Inquisitor said indifferently, "But now that the Knights of Death and the Knights of War have just returned from the abyss and want to defend the borders, the Knights of Redemption are far to the east, and only the Knights of the Holy Light have leisure." ”

"Go and deliver my order to the Knight of the Light, ordering her to accompany St. PePaul's expedition in seven days. If San Pepaolo behaves abnormally during the expedition, she can be dealt with as she sees fit. ”

Hearing this, Morgan was immediately shocked and said, "Send the Knights of the Holy Light, but my lord, so that there will be a vacancy in the defense of the temple, and your safety will be at stake—"

Obviously, in the heart of Morgan's Church, the safety of St. PePaul's was far less important than the judge!

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. And, I hope you understand that as long as Mount Nicholas does not fall, we will always be protected by the Holy King!"

Sensing a hint of coldness in the Inquisitor's tone, Morgan Sanctuary immediately did not dare to speak, and cautiously exited the judgment room.

ps: There is a place that needs to be explained, in chapter 161, it was mentioned that the Roland Empire sent the Death Knights and the War Knights to expedition to the abyss, but in the later chapters 312 and 400, there are Death Knight Captains - my explanation for this is that the part of the Death Knight who went out to the Abyss was not led by the Death Knight Chief himself, after all, he was going to guard Purgatory City, so ......
