After receiving the Emperor's order, Iros and General Wellington rushed to the city of Roma in the starry night, and the two of them kept conspiring on the way how to destroy the Dessert and Richard together.

Wellington had suffered Tugrul's losses and was more concerned about the former, while Iros thought of the cunning of the papal men and the youthful courage of King Richard.

According to the outpost, Marshal Kripp had already taken the initiative to withdraw from the siege and retreated twenty miles to the village. Wellington was momentarily confused, and asked, "What is this for? Is it difficult for the Dorths to be afraid?, or does he know about our plan and don't want to do it?"

Iros touched the beard on his cheeks and smiled: "That marshal has no way to retreat now, if he fights hard, in case of failure, don't you hold a grudge for eternity, he retreated twenty miles, obviously to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and act carefully." ”

"Then we are marching now in the name of helping King Richard, and the Desserts will definitely come to fight us first in order to avoid being attacked on their backs, wouldn't that disappoint the emperor?" Although Wellington's words were also reasonable, most of them were for the sake of their own future and their lives.

Iros knew his sore spots, and still smiled and said, "If someone can be a marshal, he must not be a fool. Can't he see our half-heartedness, and if we are to find him as an enemy, why should we go north now? When Richard was robbing the camp, he could have come to his aid, and in that case would have the marshal a way to live?"

"The general is saying that the Desetes know our desire to be fishermen?"

"Exactly. ”

"Wouldn't that be very difficult?"

"Kripp has no way out, there are enemies in front and behind, and even if he knows that he is being used by us, there will be no better way. In my opinion, he must fight for the city of Roma, and after taking it, he will have a foundation and then fight us. ”

"Isn't he a fool like this?"

"All decisions need to be made in a local context, and every person is different. In the current situation, Kripple is the right thing to do. If he provokes us, he will inevitably be attacked by Richard behind him. On the contrary, he is now fighting for the holy city of Roma, but we will not disturb his game for the time being. That's what smart people do. ”

When Wellington heard this, he immediately threw himself at the five bodies of Iros's admiration, and he suddenly wanted to divert the topic and say something light: "Our emperor is really a rare encounter in a hundred years, so scheming, he is indeed a generation of heroes." He leaned into Iros's ear and whispered, "I heard that the Empress is infertile, which makes Your Majesty very chagrined. ”

"Where did you start with this? How did you know about such a private matter?"

Wellington whispered, "Your Majesty's teacher, Carignan, is shrewd and capable, but he relies on his power and no one cares about him. He was a big mouth again, and when the emperor left the city of Xiza a while ago, the old man couldn't help but poke it out. ”

Iros hurriedly retreated, and also whispered: "Your Majesty, it is a well-known secret that he is not close to women, and it is not necessarily that there is something wrong with Royle's daughter." Your Majesty, he is dedicated to the well-being of the empire, but he doesn't want to think about what is behind him, which is really a bit confusing. ”

"Actually, I didn't know about this, but Duke Lloyle had quietly ordered someone to send a letter before, and he was already worried about his status, if the queen couldn't give birth to a boy and half a girl, the status of the duke would not be easy to say. ”

"It seems that you are Loyle's henchman, General!" Iros mocked.

"Don't dare, His Majesty the Emperor is about to personally drive to the city of Frante, and Duke Borot is going north to join us, how are you going to deal with it?"

Iros was a little silent, he paused, thought for a while, and said: "This is a hot potato, the emperor wants to move him, and he also throws a mouse bogey, I have suffered a loss, and now I will definitely not make my own decisions again, let Your Majesty get it!"

Wellington smiled and said, "The general just now admired the way of thinking of the Dessertes, but why did he lose his way of thinking when he arrived at Borot?"

Iros sighed, "Everything depends on His Majesty's face of the Emperor." We have no restraints against the Dessertes, and if we deal with the Duke, we will destroy our future if we don't do it well. No matter what we do in the former, we will have a share of the credit, and no matter how careful we are in the latter, I am afraid that we will be used as a pawn by His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hey, no matter what, we're all pawns, so let's stop complaining and get by!" Wellington also felt the thorn in his back, and let out the same emotion as Iros.

......

The conversation is divided into two ends, and let's talk about the situation in the city of Roma.

Ever since King Richard and Pope Damassus were invited in by Master Kanin, the Liberal Scholars have suddenly boiled, and the two have become unparalleled superheroes in the eyes of the people. The group even loved the house and Wu, and even had a lot of respect for the black-robed mage, because it was the black-robed society that captured Tugrul, it was the black-robed society that drove away Marshal Cripp, and it was the black-robed society that led the Tamborance army into the city.

In view of the current situation inside and outside the city, King Richard took the initiative to ask the Black Robe Society to stay and help defend the city together. Kanin repeatedly prevaricated: "Your Majesty, Marshal Kripp is like a lost dog, and there is no place for him. His usefulness is long gone, and I expect the Demon of the Heart to abandon him soon. Once those troops are left without a leader, they will soon fall apart, and all you have to do is hold on to the city and refuse to fight. ”

"Master, I and His Holiness are very grateful for our great love. Marshal Cripple is not terrible, what is terrible is the mind snatcher behind him. I have not been able to sleep at night since you explained to me in detail about this terrible and evil thing. Lang Lang Qiankun, the sun and the moon, how can this scourge stay for a long time. We, the Tambolances, are willing to work with the Black-robed Society and the Dessert to slay them. Seek peace for the world, and peace of mind for future generations. ”

"Your Majesty, I can't hide it, the scourge of the Mind Flayer has been around for a long time, and the ancestors of our Dessert people lived in the Eastern Continent, separated from you by the Noha Empire, which is what the Tamborans call Orint. At that time, in order to monopolize trade, this powerful empire lied to your Gouvion Empire, and deceived your emperor that the world was divided into two continents, east and west, and that they were the only ones in the east. Our ancestors were also hidden in the valley at that time, and were stupidly exploited by the Orlint Empire. It is such a powerful empire, but it disappeared overnight, some say it was a plague, some say it was an earthquake, some say it was migration, in my opinion, although these have a certain amount of truth, but the main reason has been missed, that is, the bottom of the mind snatcher. The Orlint Empire is extremely authoritarian and autocratic, similar to your Vane Empire back then, which gives the Mind Flayer an opportunity to take advantage of it, and this monster only needs to spend very little energy to control the Emperor and some of the important ministers around him, and can take charge of the affairs of the whole country. The decision to kill is as he pleases, and this brain-hungry guy has a fixed high-quality ration from then on. They are so powerful that even the ancient dragons have to be afraid. ”

Richard looked at Kanin's increasingly anxious expression, and his heart was quite helpless, and he pointed out one of his doubts: "Since the killing of the Orint Empire has become an opportunity for the Mind Flayer to enjoy the blessings of the Mind Flayer, then why did this empire suddenly disappear mysteriously? Not only has the population disappeared, but the originally fertile land has suddenly turned into a barren and barren barren land? In this way, the Mind Flayer will not be able to get the opportunity to eat his brain?"

"In addition to eating their brains, they can survive on cold crystals. I think His Holiness the Pope knows this. Kanin said to the Liberal Arts.

"Definitely. Dammasus nodded, "Cold Hedron is a magical substance that can help those pagan mages increase their magical powers, and those elven druids in the south of Bodie can also use it to cast jaw-dropping and powerful magical spells. During the Vane Empire, cold crystals could be seen everywhere in the Bodi Continent, but since the establishment of the Tamborance Empire, these things seem to have become scarce overnight, not only are they almost extinct on the ground, but sometimes it is difficult to guarantee that you will see them even if you dig three feet into the ground. ”

Still puzzled, Richard continued, "Cold Crystal can keep the Mind Flayer alive, but the human brain is its favorite. Why did it take the initiative to destroy Orlingte, a stable source of food?"

"It's an eternal case!" Kanin sighed.

"The late Vane Empire was also a frequent war, why didn't the Mind Flayer take the opportunity to kick it in?" King Richard's questions one after another.

Damassus was silent, and from time to time some earth-shattering thoughts flashed in his mind, that is, the polydocical prophet Cyril might have a lot to do with it. The Pope kept this thought in his stomach and did not rush to say it, because it was not known whether it was a blessing or a curse. He calmly said to King Hope, "According to Master Kanen, although the Mind Flayer's ability to control the mind is very powerful, I am afraid that it will take a lot of energy and energy in the process. It is unlikely that they would have come over to restrain the head of the Vane Empire after they had just manipulated Emperor Orlingte. As for the mysterious disappearance of the Orint Empire mentioned by His Majesty, I think there may be another reason, maybe something that even the extremely powerful Mind Flayer Demon did not expect. ”

The more Richard thought about it, the more serious it felt that the matter was more serious than expected, and although the others thought so, for various reasons, none of them were as agitated as the young King Hope.

Kanin saw that Richard was looking at the black-robed mage for a while, and then at the cardinal, so he said with a slight expression: "Your Majesty, Lord Pope, everyone knows the history of Roma City back then, and the Clement of the Liberal Sect used powerful spells to repel the invasion of our Dessertes. The burial place of this polymathic sage is under this city. Our Black-robed Society once sent people to dig up something valuable, but several of them were gone, and those who came back were like enchanted people, talking nonsense and losing all logical wisdom. Our five deliberations have long suspected that it was the work of the Mind Snatcher, and now the marshal's matter makes this inference even more conclusive. ”

Damassus didn't say anything at once, he thought of the cemetery in the city of Greed, and what happened to the ancient monastery of Coriaal more than ten years ago, all of which were ominous shadows that weighed on the Bojiao, and overwhelmed generations of popes.

Richard was bent on eradicating the evil spirit, so he didn't pay attention to the Pope's expression, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the cemetery of the Patriarchal Patriarch is the only one who has come to investigate, and I will definitely fully cooperate." ”

Damasus nodded reluctantly, a terrible thought in his mind.
