His Majesty the King named it himself.

So the original Trona region became a bridgehead area.

Well.

Although this name seems to the prime minister, I think it is very strange.

……

The prime minister left, Zhang Xun summoned the maid to make him tea, and then learned that the Pope had also arrived.

Previously, in the white paper, Zhang Xun already knew that in Yingyang, the status of religion is not so high.

To be precise, the status of the Pope and the ecclesiastical staff is not at all comparable to that of the royal family.

When the word Middle Ages is mentioned, Zhang Xun always feels that the power of religion is very strong, even higher than that of the imperial power.

But the situation of Eagle Yang is more special.

Beliefs are not uniform throughout the Five Kingdoms region.

The western frontier sits on land and a grassland, so their cavalry is very powerful, which is also one of the important reasons why Ying Yang is unable to continue to expand the results after occupying the bridgehead area.

Although the land of the bridgehead is flat, there are mountains that cut it off from the overall territory of the western border.

Because of the terrain, the powerful cavalry in the west could not fully exert their advantages, so the infantry of Yingyang could hold on.

And if he continues to attack, penetrates deep into the western realm, enters the plain area, and faces the powerful cavalry in the western realm, although Ying Yang has sharper weapons, he will also be at a disadvantage.

The people of the West are more courageous and rebellious.

So the belief in the Westlands is a strange "god of war".

It is conceivable that this type of deity is blessed for war, but it does not penetrate deep enough for ordinary civilians.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xun firmly uses religion to carry out ideological attacks.

In the south, the goddess of the forest is worshipped.

The northern realm believes in the god of thunder.

This is strange, because the north is very cold, and there is very little rain, Zhang Xun thinks that it is relatively normal for those people in the north to believe in the goddess of storms or the god of ice and snow, and he doesn't know why they believe in the god of thunder.

As for the East, there is no faith.

Yes, the situation in the Eastern Kingdom is very peculiar, and the faith is so weak that it can almost be called unfaithful.

The belief of Yingyang is a continuation of the belief when he migrated from the rest of the continent thousands of years ago, that is, the "God of Creation", or "God of Creation", which probably means.

Because the religions of each kingdom are independent, it is clear that the strength of religion is closely related to the strength of the kingdom.

As a weak country in the cracks, the religion is naturally not very strong.

At most, he is only acting as a prestige within the eagle and colluding with the aristocratic group, but for the royal family, he is unable and unwilling to launch a strong challenge.

"The old king can be regarded as leaving me a little benefit, if even religion is strong, then it will be difficult for me to think about strengthening the country, there are many things in history where religion interferes with royal power. ”

Zhang Xun thought about the information in his head.

Halfway through a cup of tea, the Pope arrived.

Because of the weakness of religion, Zhang Xun did not have to stand up to greet him, but the Pope had many believers in the country, and he would not grovel.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

The contemporary pope stood at the door and bowed slightly, smiling.

Zhang Xun looked at him quietly, trying to make his appearance overlap with the image in his memory.

He was an old man, gray-haired, dressed in a beautiful robe, and carefully clutching an imperial staff in his hand.

He is not tall, but he looks like he can still live for many years, and there are not many wrinkles on his face, which can be seen that he is pampered, and there is wisdom in life hidden in the few wrinkles.

Overhead, there is a gold-filigree crown.

The moment I saw this crown.

Zhang Xun's eyes shrank like a needle.

He tried to touch his head, but stopped.

He also has his own crown, but he only wears it when he attends important occasions, after all, it is heavy.

But the Pope's top is very thin and beautiful, so he can wear it all the time.

Zhang Xun suddenly had a thought, that is, this pope knew that he was going to see him, didn't he know how to take off this nasty crown and put it at home?

Did he forget that?

Or has it always been, or ......

Deliberately wearing it for yourself?

Do you bully yourself young?

Zhang Xun sneered in his heart.

It seems that although the church is not very strong, they are not a peaceful people.

He remembered a casual remark about religious power and kingship, and he became even more vigilant.

"That's true, please take a seat. ”

Zhang Xun said.

After the Pope took his seat, Zhang Xun suddenly remembered the name of the Pope.

Many of Luke's memories were not completely read by Zhang Xun, but were in a state of waiting to be read.

As in Plato's transcendentalism, he possesses that knowledge, but recalls it only when he is stimulated to a certain extent.

For example, he knows the Pope in his memory, but if he doesn't remember it, he can't remember his face and name.

Therefore, it was only at this time, when Zhang Xun subjectively began to recall the memories of this pope, that he learned his name.

Then Zhang Xun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Thiago.

This is the name of the old man in front of him, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

But according to the tradition of the Eagle Religion, once a person becomes pope, his surname is replaced by the word "holy".

It means that God gives a surname, and only the name is kept.

So, in this way, the old man's full name is......

"San Tiago"

Santiago?

It's also golden!

Zhang Xun rolled his eyes.

As a result, the perception of this pope is even worse.

"Your Majesty?"

Thiago saw Zhang Xun rolling his eyes, he didn't quite understand what was going on, and couldn't help but call.

"Oh, I remembered something. Zhang Xun explained casually, knowing that he didn't have much time, so he went straight to the point and said: "I invite you here this time, because there is an important matter that needs the assistance of the Holy See. ”

Thiago's eyes narrowed, and his expression remained unchanged and asked, "I don't know what happened?"

"Speaking of which, the Holy See has not had new believers for a long time. ”

Zhang Xun smiled, ignoring the change in Thiago's demeanor, but said: "There are some things that don't need to be hidden from you, the land occupied by the front-line army that belongs to the western border, well, has now been renamed bridgehead, His Excellency the Pope knows, right?"

Thiago's expression moved slightly, and he said cautiously: "I do know about this matter, and I have heard about it in the past few days when the courtiers are discussing war funds with the envoys of the peace talks. ”

"Well, it's good to know, let's be straight, I've already made up my mind, I don't plan to return the bridgehead to the King of the West. ”

Zhang Xun said lightly.

Thiago's color changed slightly, but he didn't say anything, but continued to listen.

"He took the initiative to invade my border in the west and slaughtered the people of the kingdom, how can he lose and only lose some money? I will never spit out this territory, and as for the residents of the western territory on this land, naturally I will not let them go. ”

Thiago suddenly realized something, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean...... Want us to go ......"

Zhang Xun smiled slightly: "Yes, I hope that the Holy See can send at least one cardinal to the bridgehead to spread the faith! I believe that God needs more people's faith." ”
