Chapter 118: The Fall of Eastern Rome (18)
Although you only want to deal with one or a few, or that part of the corrupted clergy, you will eventually find that the entire Holy See is standing against you.
Randy snorted lightly and showed disdain: "So if you want to completely change all this, the so-called compromise, cooperation, and reform cannot succeed, only by completely destroying the old one, building a new one, and using the previous failures as a wake-up call and a lesson, can we create a better, more in line with the people, and closer to God's controversy." ”
Joan of Arc was stunned to hear Randy say this, destroying the Catholic Church and building a new one, is he crazy? Or is he going to have trouble with the Christians of all Europe?
"Joan of Arc, what do you think?" Randy felt like he was talking a little too much, and he felt a little dry, and of course it was possible that he was caused by Joan of Arc's angry outfit.
"How's that?"
Joan of Arc didn't expect Randy to say something surprising, and then held his hands and asked her how she was, she didn't expect Randy, who didn't seem to have any theological cells, to be able to answer her questions, he just wanted to complain, but he didn't expect Randy to be so ambitious to change the entire Catholic Church.
"This ...... OK? Joan of Arc replied.
"Do you think it's good too?"
Randy directly raised the meaning of what Joan of Arc said by two orders of magnitude, and looked at Joan of Arc with bright eyes.
"I knew you would definitely support me, so there would be no problem."
"What's okay?" Joan of Arc is weird.
"Overthrow the Holy See and form a new, pure Church." Randy said as a matter of course.
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Joan of Arc finally couldn't help but say something like that.
"How does it not matter? Because you are the best person I have chosen to plant this church. ”
"Me?"
"Yes, Joan of Arc, because you have the power to convince all the people of the world, even a heinous king like me will be influenced by you when he meets you, don't you say you are the best candidate?"
"But, I ......"
Joan of Arc was not prepared at all, and when she learned about it in a very difficult situation, she didn't know what to do.
"Joan of Arc, are you willing to do your part, even if it costs your own life, for this world, for this unlovable human being, and for this extremely twisted world? You were willing to stand up and fight for France in the worst of the worst circumstances, do you still have the courage to do so now? ”
"I do, but I do!"
"Will you believe me? Joan of Arc? Randy asked before Joan of Arc could finish speaking.
Joan of Arc did want to say that she didn't want to believe it, but her intuition told her that if she did say such a thing, something very bad would happen, a very, very bad situation.
"I do!" Joan of Arc finally replied.
"That's good! Leave everything to me and rest assured that the world will get better and better. Randy said as he walked over and hugged Joan of Arc gently.
"Don't let me down, Randy."
Joan of Arc finally gave up on thinking, hugged Randy gently and leaned on Randy's not very broad shoulder, and said like a dream.
The two of them were immersed in a rare sense of happiness, and after a while, a very childish voice came from the door.
"Lady Joan of Arc, I brought my clothes, which I bought from the village next door, and cost twenty-five copper plates. Forehead? ”
The fourteen-year-old little nun Mary opened the curtain and walked in, and saw Sister Joan of Arc, whom she admired very much, and His Majesty King Randy, who looked very handsome, hugging each other with their eyes closed.
"Spoiled!"
Randy wanted to hug her for a while longer, and took the opportunity to pick up Joan of Arc, but it seemed that this plan should not be implemented, looking at the little nun's curious expression, Randy coughed lightly and said, "Sister Mary, did you see anything just now?" ”
The nun didn't know whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, completely ignoring the threat in Randy's tone, and nodded very generously in admission, "Just now I saw Your Majesty and Lady Joan of Arc hugging each other. ”
Randy was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, I was discussing something related to theology with Sister Joan of Arc before, and although that gesture just now looked like hugging each other, it was actually the result of my practical discussion with Sister Joan of Arc. ”
"Is that so? Lady Joan of Arc? ”
The little nun curiously turned to Joan of Arc and asked, but at this moment Joan of Arc could only nod her head red-faced.
"Oh! What exactly is the discussion about theological issues. The little nun then asked.
Randy had completely recovered from his embarrassing state at this time, and for the Norman king, who usually used lies as food, such a moment of work was enough for him to think of many good excuses, so Randy was not knocked down by the question of minor repairs at all, and replied very calmly: "There is a theory about the Trinity." ”
"You know what the Trinity is, but what does the Trinity really look like? Sister Joan of Arc and I are just practicing this issue. ”
The nun nodded: "That's why we want to hug each other?" ”
"Yes!" Randy nodded.
"But if it's a trinity, shouldn't it be three people together?" The little nun then asked.
"Because Sister Joan of Arc and I were improvised, we didn't have much preparation, but there were only two of us in the tent." Randy replied without hesitation.
"I see, can I get involved? I don't know a lot, but if I can help a little, three people are better than two. ”
"When you're a little older, come and talk to us about the Trinity."
"I'm not young anymore, and many of those girls my age are already married." The little nun complained.
"It's actually pretty good when you think about it......" Randy muttered quietly.
Randy's temptation this time was ruined because of a cute little nun who had reached the legal age of marriage, but it can't be said that Randy's temptation was completely useless, he came up with at least two answers.
First, Joan of Arc, who belongs entirely to him, not to God, will support her in some of the more drastic things he does against the Catholic Church.
Second, the nun of nuns is a fool!
——————————
Naples was still burning, but Randy's depression had completely disappeared, and the rest of the time was to wait, and when the ten days of slaughter were complete, the walls of Naples were completely torn down, the entire city was razed, and the whole army marched north to join the Norman Reserve Corps, waiting for the news of the defeat of Emperor Frederick of the Holy Roman Empire.
In the rare leisure time of the past few days, Randy sorted out the system, the titles he had received in the recent period, and various matters in the territory, so Randy lay in bed in the dead of night and closed his eyes and began to contact Enides.
Speaking of which, Randy's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of times the two sides take the initiative to contact each other is getting less and less.
In the recent period from the coalition army to the south, to the two battles with the Greeks, Randy has gained a lot, both in terms of prestige and his own ability, there has been a great improvement, not to mention the title of Knight of Christ obtained before, in addition to this, Randy has also obtained a lot of attributes.
One of them is the Messiah attribute that Randy values the most, although this trait doesn't seem to have increased at all, but just listening to the title of this name Randy finds it very interesting, and now it has no effect mostly because the title has not been officially confirmed.
This seems to have a lot of potential, but so far, there is no effect of the trait for the time being, don't worry about him for the time being, in addition to the biggest improvement in Randy's attribute is the domination attribute, these months of continuous combat, finally let Randy's attribute get rid of the situation that is neither high nor low.
When attacking Marseille, he obtained the title of a qualified siege general, siege battle dominance +1, and when attacking Naples, this title was upgraded again, becoming an excellent siege general, siege war dominance +2, and because he often commanded various siege weapons to bully others, Randy also gained a trait that was good at siege equipment, siege war dominance +3.
At the same time, during the attack on Naples, Randy's night combat attributes increased again, from night fighter to shadow wolf, night combat dominance +2, excellent generals upgraded to excellent generals, dominance +3, obtained the characteristics of qualified large corps combat commanders, commanded troops over 50,000 +1, obtained excellent offensive general attributes, offensive combat dominance +2, before this Randy also had a natural general shameless commander, insight into the three characteristics of opportunities, all of which are dominance characteristics, command if determined, garrison combat command +1. Excellent cavalry generals, cavalry commanders, qualified infantry generals, and infantry commanders +1.
After this calculation, Randy's basic dominance attribute is six points, eight points for offensive operations, seven points for garrison operations, twelve points for siege operations, ten points for night battles, fourteen points for night battles, and fifteen points for large army operations.
Such a high command can increase the morale, attack speed, and defense skills of Randy's soldiers in an all-round way, and at the same time, it will have a bonus effect on the low-level commanders under Randy's command, so that their command skills will increase.
According to Enides' evaluation, Randy's current attributes, even if the dialect is in the whole world, belong to the quasi-first-class star Fan Tao.
In addition, what makes Randy a little distressed is that in recent times, in order to maintain the unity of the coalition, he has been much fairer in dealing with people, and he is no longer always deceived by his own personality, and as a result, Enides gave Randy the characteristics of a just person, virtue +1, shamelessness -1.
Shamelessness aside, virtue is the opposite of brutality, which means that Randy's original brutality of seventeen points has been reduced a little to sixteen.
Originally, Randy thought that if he ordered the slaughter of Naples City, he should be able to increase the brutality value, but Enides said that because Randy did not choose to slaughter the city in Bologna and Venice before, the system here tacitly acknowledged that Randy's choice for these two cities was to occupy, so it also added a little potential virtue value, and Randy ordered the massacre of the city in Naples, virtue and brutality canceled each other, so it did not rise in attributes, which made Randy feel a little depressed.
Other than that, Randy's other attributes haven't changed much, and his prestige is as follows:
+5 for those who are born on the throne: Several famous victories must be the monarch of the first powerful country in the European continent.
+1 for Legislator, +3 for Falsifying Miracles,
Knight of Christ Valhalla: With the titles of Norman, Denmark, Norway, Finland, England, and five kings, so that Randy has a total of eighteen prestige attributes, the expression of piety has not changed, it is still thirteen points, and the involvement has increased a little, now it is minus fourteen, and the shameless attribute has been reduced by one, and it is now eleven points.
Randy took a closer look and was basically satisfied with this attribute, and found that because he dozed off during the day and slept a little longer, he couldn't sleep at night, and it was basically impossible to attack Joan of Arc at night, so Randy decided to continue to ask about the changes in the territory in the recent period.
"First of all, St. Petersburg, the project was originally expected to be completed in July, but recently the world has been in turmoil, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has gone north to attack Novgorod, and Novgorod does not want to convert, it is almost certain that it will be destroyed, after the other party swallows Novgorod, it is impossible not to fight the idea of Neo-Scandinavia, and then it will be troublesome." Enides reminded Randy.
"Tomorrow I will write a letter to Artoria and ask her to end the attack on Saxony as soon as possible, lead the army eastward, and attack the Muscovite army before the complete annexation of Novgorod by the Grand Duchy of Moscow." Randy thought for a moment and said.
"But Novgorod has already rejected your offer for assistance!"
"That's right, they're all enemies."
"Has anyone told you that you've been speaking more and more aggressively lately? It seems that in recent times, a string of victories has made you a lot more confident, and you are no longer the stupid person who will be scared by hearing one or two names at first. ”
"Don't mention that kind of black history again."
Enides chuckled twice and began to report on the rest of the situation.
"In addition to Neo-Scandinavia, there is also some instability on the part of Livonia and Prussia, do you want the garrison corps in these two regions to start preparing for war?"
"The situation is not so bad, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, although it is not a small country, has a small population, and the number of troops that can be mobilized is even smaller."
"Although this is the case, if they wait until they digest and absorb the original Polish-Lithuanian territory, it will be a great deal." Enides reminded.
Randy hesitated slightly: "Indeed, speaking of Lithuania, Vytautas, what has this guy been doing lately?" ”
"I didn't do anything, I looked very quiet, but I should be silently accumulating strength, the Eastern European steppes have been in turmoil recently, and I went to join his tribe, but it is second only to your tribe."
"Is that so?"
Randy thought for a moment and made up his mind: "In this case, tell Aurora and ask her to send a letter to Vytautas in my capacity, telling him that he, as a member of the Catholic world, should also join the Catholic League, and let him pass the past." ”
"Let the past pass, and the level of your cool words has improved a lot."
Randy snorted lightly: "Also, after defeating Eastern Rome and Moscow, Yu will support him and become the king of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania." ”
Enides said with a slight mockery: "I see, do you want to use this as bait?" Did you ask Aurora to write in your name because Aurora was closer? Then why didn't you let Aurora do the letter to your wife? ”
