Chapter 283: Holy Angel

……

The two more holy levels were close to a range of dozens of miles, and the already very gloomy face of Pope Northen X looked particularly ugly. That's a saint-level master, not a cabbage on the street. Although each Pope can rely on a special inheritance to achieve the holy level, the price that needs to be paid is that the lifespan can only be the same as that of ordinary people. As a result, the change of power of the pope is also very fast, at most for decades, at least a year and a half.

Northen X can be said to be a very depressed pope, with the emergence of more and more scientists, the gradual popularization of scientific knowledge, the overall level of mankind is rising. Although many people are still religious, the authority of the Holy See is also weakening. Because human beings are gradually no longer ignorant, and they are no longer able to make up backward and illogical myths and stories to coax. The emergence of various disciplines has made many people suspicious of the Holy See and no longer worship blindly. There are also many voices of skepticism, using scientific theories to question those phenomena that are mythical.

Such a situation would have been unthinkable centuries ago. No one dares to disobey an order of the Holy See. But now, the power of science is eroding theocracy. The kings of various countries also began to disobey the Holy See, but in private, they vigorously supported all kinds of scientific and theoretical research. This is a conspiracy of the royal power, trying to use the popularization of science to make the people question the Holy See spontaneously and increase the ruling authority of the royal power.

If it is allowed to develop, it may be decades, hundreds of years. The whole Holy See is an ornament. As a result, in this operation against Da Zhao. Pope Northen X, seeing that many countries seemed to have opinions about the country in the far east, took advantage of the situation and used the remaining authority of the Holy See to call on all countries to wage holy war against Zhao. And in one breath, he also brought out the most powerful of the Holy See. The purpose is, first, to restore the prestige of the Holy See through this holy war. Second, it is also like those kings of various countries who have begun to become superstitious about the power of science and technology to see and see, the real strength of the Holy See, saving them from thinking that the Holy See is weak and can be bullied all day long.

The Pope himself went out, and naturally the countries sent representatives to board the ships subordinate to the Holy See. At this time, although the countries were becoming stronger, they gradually stopped taking the Papal States seriously. But I still dare not do anything that openly disobeys the Holy See. The representatives of those countries, although they have heard since childhood, how mysterious and powerful the Holy See is. But they had never seen it, but the ten statues of holy angels exerted far more power than they understood, and they were all shocked and looked at each other.

Everyone knows that these ten galleons are ordinary, at most an improved version of the invincible galleons of Spain, and they can only barely enter the ranks of the top ships in Europe. Not only can it turn the flowering shells of Zhao's long-range artillery into fireworks, but it can also condense the holy light to destroy the enemy's ships in one go. This way of fighting is simply unheard of. I can't help but feel a lot of fear and respect for the Holy See.

The Pope naturally saw their expressions in his eyes, but before he could become proud, he saw that the other party began to execute the tactic of seizing ships, and the number of strong men who broke out at once was far beyond his imagination. The reason why he dared to come to teach Zhao Guo a lesson, the Pope had not done his homework before. This powerhouse far away in the east roughly has a minimum of three and a maximum of five saint-level powerhouses. A peak warrior between two hundred and three hundred. Although it seems that there are too many mortal peak warriors in this Great Zhao, many of them are a little terrifying. But it can't deter the Holy See, which is not weak. He thinks that with his own strength, he can win if he pays a little price.

There are as many as five saint-level powerhouses in the pope, including the Pope, who is inherited from the Holy Rank. There are also a hundred peak paladins, plus the strength of the peak warriors and above of the same master inquisition, they have already vaguely suppressed Zhao Guo. And that's not even counting some of the special secret weapons possessed by the Holy See, especially the ten statues of Holy Angels, which are extraordinarily powerful. No matter how you calculate it, it is impossible to lose to Zhao Guo. As a result, the Maritime Crusader was launched to launch a Far Eastern Holy War against the Zhao State.

At least, this Da Zhao is easier to bully than the entire united Arab world. Especially in naval battles, the battleships protected by ten statues of holy angels must be invincible.

In just one minute, Pope Northam X felt a total of eleven saint-level masters. This is several more than the Holy Masters of the Papal States and the entire European world combined. He also knew that if he used the Holy Angel Statue to condense the Holy Light to hit those saint-level powerhouses, it would be like using a cannonball to bombard mosquitoes, and there was basically no possibility of hitting.

Now the plan is to use the statue of the Holy Angel. Without the slightest hesitation, Pope Northen gave the order to activate the statue of the Holy Angel again. This time, however, it's not about creating energy defenses, it's not about launching energy cannon attacks. It was the third battle mode of the Holy Angel Statue, a statue of the Holy Angel, which began to condense white light, and it didn't take long for it to start rattling.

Suddenly, one by one, the statues came to life, and the white and soft wings stretched out and slapped down hard. Ten holy angels rose into the air, levitating in midair. Among them, five men and five women, each of them were wearing silver armor, shining in the sun, and white streamers flowed around their bodies.

"Oh my God, it's the Angel Clan." The previous Yiyi had already begun to analyze the other party's origins, because she knew that this could never be a force on the earth. However, as soon as the ten angel statues came out, she completely understood whether this was a race in her database, or a very famous race.

"Is it hard?" Zhao Zhe was startled by the ten angels that suddenly appeared, and hurriedly asked. At the same time, the huge psychic sense unfolded and explored towards them.

"It's very difficult, the angel clan belongs to a spiritual biochemical civilization, with a sparse population but strong combat power. What he likes to do most is to control some backward planets by impersonating gods, greedily absorbing their resources and spiritual power. Yiyi's tone was very serious.

"Sure enough, it is very difficult, judging by their breath, it should be stronger than the innate junior us, maybe it has reached the innate middle level of combat power." Zhao Zhe asked everyone to stop and confronted those angels from afar. There are three innate masters on his side, more than 100 grandmasters riding golden eagles, and 100 grandmasters underwater. In addition, there are eighteen innate beings who are coming quickly, and the fastest one is only a few miles away. As a result, although the combat effectiveness of these ten angels made Zhao Zhe very frightened. But that doesn't mean I'm afraid of them.

"This is not the real angel clan, because the number of angel clans is very rare, and almost all of them are spiritual beings, it is impossible to fight in person, and they are all used to using combat weapons to bully some weak peoples." Yiyi also quickly explained: "These ten angel statues are obviously their biochemical combat weapons. ”

The Pope is obviously also quite jealous, and now he knows that Da Zhao is not easy to mess with. And these ten holy angels are already the last ten holy angels of the Holy See, and one less one will die. Old man God, for some unknown reason, has not come for a long, long time. Even if only five of these ten holy angels are hung up, they will certainly not be able to deter the hateful Islam. If all ten of them are destroyed, then the Papal States will await the fate of gradually losing status.

The Pope's face changed again, but at this moment, two more saint-level powerhouses appeared in his perception range. couldn't help but groan secretly, oh my God, how much strength is this Da Zhao hiding? Within the perception range alone, there were already thirteen saint-level powerhouses. One more than that perverted Islam. Although the paladins on the ship, as well as the representatives of various countries, were excited and panicked one by one after seeing the angel appear. But the Pope was trembling, and he couldn't figure out how many saint-level masters there were on the other side? As long as there are more than fifteen, plus those peak warriors within the perceptual range, this crusade at sea will not end in a victorious way.

If the opponent can reach more than twenty saint levels, plus more peak warriors. There is a good chance that it will end in failure. Of course, even if he fails, the other party's words will not be much better than his own. Not to mention the saint-level powerhouses, even if they are peak warriors, each of them is a rare treasure, and dying will be extremely distressing.

The only thing that made the Pope feel a little relieved was that the other party seemed to be afraid of the sudden appearance of the Holy Angel. As soon as I saw the Holy Angel, I stopped. That means that the two sides still have room for negotiation. The Pope also immediately sent Norton, the leader of the Holy Knights, and Moses, the leader of the Ruling Knights, into the air.

An ugly smile appeared on the Pope's gloomy face, and he said in Chinese: "Honorable Great Zhao Qiang, I am Northam X from the Vatican. I want to talk to you, I don't know if your Excellency can negotiate with me on behalf of Da Zhao. ”

"I am Zhao Zhe, the commander of the Huya Army, one of the supreme commanders of this battlefield, and I can communicate with His Majesty the Pope without harming the interests of Da Zhao." As soon as Zhao Zhe saw that the other party seemed to be releasing angels, he did not immediately attack, and he knew that this war was basically going to end in negotiations.

First, Zhao Zhe really couldn't figure out how many back-up moves the other party had, and second, if he delayed time, it would be beneficial to his side. Everyone is rushing here, two thousand grandmasters, a total of twenty-one innate level powerhouses. Once gathered, it has the power to destroy the caste.

……

Chapter 284: Lose money, Pope

……

Of course, for Zhao Zhe, each of these subordinates is a priceless treasure that is not easy to come by. Even the loss of a grandmaster would make Zhao Zhe feel very distressed. If you fight hard with it, even if you win, your side will lose extremely much, which is a very cost-effective thing. Obviously, this pope thinks so too. This kind of Holy Angel whose strength is comparable to the innate intermediate level is definitely not a bad street, otherwise, they all have the strength to unify the whole world, and they still come to reason with you?

Ten angels, plus three congenitals, including the Pope. If you want to destroy them with an overwhelming surname advantage without or with little damage, Zhao Zhe estimates that his innate strength must reach at least hundreds. As for the Grandmasters, the two thousand Grandmasters were many times stronger than these thirteen people. But if you want to destroy them completely, your own losses will be very large, and it will never be the result you want to see. What's more, the fact that the Huya Grandmaster can't fly is also a big disadvantage.

It seems that it is necessary to equip the mount of the Huya Army with a golden eagle when you go back. Although riding a golden eagle, if you are facing the ground troops, the speed of sprinting and killing the enemy is too slow. But against the innate master, it may not be that he has no strength to fight, otherwise he can only stare at it below. Of course, the resources required to raise a golden eagle with a spirit surname are far from being comparable to that of a war horse. It is already a very difficult thing to raise more than 1,000 golden eagles for a long time, and they are all carnivorous animals. It is a very troublesome thing to breed meat for them in a small area in the small world, and it is precisely because of this that the inhabitants of the small world basically eat very little meat, and almost all of them are supplied to the golden eagle. However, it is not good to send meat directly from the outside, after all, the time ratio of the two sides is different, and the problem is very big. And turning on and closing the aura of the small world is also a lot of consumption, and it is extremely not cost-effective. As for the war horse, it is much easier to feed than the golden eagle, and the plants in the small world still grow extremely fast, like leeks, and a stubble will quickly grow after eating it. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Zhe has never been willing to replace the golden eagle with the war horse. But now it seems that it will not work if you don't change it. Riding a war horse is more restrictive than riding a golden eagle.

"It turned out to be the famous Zhao Commander." The Pope, who had done some homework, immediately knew that Zhao Zhe was the one who destroyed the Houjin Kingdom. and made great contributions on the battlefield of Jiayuguan, and has a very high status in the army, almost comparable to Yang Dingshan. According to intelligence, he should have the royal blood of Da Zhao. However, there seems to be something wrong with the intelligence, how did he, who is obviously at the peak warrior level, suddenly become a saint-level powerhouse? The Pope wanted to cut off the heads of those in charge of intelligence, and spent so much manpower and material resources to finally come up with such ridiculous information.

"It's easy to say, His Majesty the Pope is not in the Vatican, and he personally led a large army to attack my Dazhao ship, what's going on? Is it trying to deceive me? Zhao Zhe sneered a few times, and asked directly in his tone. Because he knows that in such negotiations, there must be no weakness. Although he feels sorry for the top combat power under his command, if he doesn't put on a posture of not caring about the same end, he will only make his own side suffer in vain.

"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding." The Pope said with a smile, it's not that he wants to laugh, it's just that it's only been a long time, and another saint-level powerhouse is flying here. The first batch had already arrived, and they each stood behind Zhao Zhe with unkind expressions. Twenty-one, such a terrifying number of saint-level powerhouses, it was difficult for the Pope to keep a straight face. The most important thing is that the other party's big ships are constantly coming, and he only probed slightly, and he found that the number of peak warriors on each fleet was about two hundred. This made the Pope cry, but in the face of Zhao Zhe, he could only laugh.

Previously, the Pope thought that the strength of the other party was probably only one line stronger than his own. But now it seems that this is not the case at all. Twenty-one saint-level powerhouses are good to say, although they are very strong, they are also limited. But the number of peak powerhouses is too terrifying, within the scope of his spiritual awareness, there are already more than a thousand. All of them have already formed a system, although it is no problem for the saint level to flee for their lives without fighting them. However, if more than a thousand peak warriors ran to his Papal States, they could turn the entire Papal States upside down. More than two thousand, well, the entire Papal States are waiting to be completely destroyed. Even if the ten holy angels were dispatched at once, they would not be able to resist it at all. An army of peak warriors, the Pope shuddered when he thought about it.

Poor Holy See, even with a special inheritance can create some paladins, adjudicators. The strength is comparable to that of a peak warrior. But their lifespan is the same as that of ordinary people. Moreover, the number is far less exaggerated than that. In the entire Papal States, the number of peak warriors was less than two hundred. There are only eleven people who have naturally cultivated to the peak of warriors.

Perhaps many people have discussed that if the peak warriors can form an army, how many can fight all over the world. The vast majority of people believe that as long as there are more than 500, there will be few opponents. More than a thousand, basically invincible. Two thousand, and you can sweep the world. The reason is very simple, even if all the saint-level masters from all over the world are gathered, there will be about thirty or forty. But they didn't dare to run into the peak warrior troops of 2,000 people head-on. As a result, the peak army of 2,000 people is invincible.

Of course, that's just that. Let's just talk about YY. Because everyone knows that gathering two thousand peak warriors to make a force is a pure joke. All the peak fighters in the world combined, five hundred is already a super high estimate. This also includes the peak inheritance troops of the Holy See, the two hundred peak warriors who have been cultivated unnaturally.

It was precisely because of this that the Pope sensed so many peak warriors, and he was dumbfounded all of a sudden. Secretly wondering in his heart, could it be that Da Zhao, like the Holy See, was favored by a powerful god? Can you carry out the pinnacle, or the inheritance of a saint-level master?

"Since it was a misunderstanding, then the Pope, you should compensate for the loss. Otherwise, many of you will be able to escape. I can take the army to the Papal States. Zhao Zhe said in a gloomy voice. Before he fully understood the strength of the angel clan behind the Holy See, Zhao Zhe was not reckless, so he used this opportunity to negotiate and test the strength of the other party by the way. Just kidding, if they were in the Papal States with two hundred such angels, wouldn't they be killing themselves if they really went with the golden eagle with tiger teeth?

"Reparations? That's impossible, and we, the Holy See, will never compensate any force. The Pope's face sank, and he also sneered: "Your Excellency Zhao Zhe, don't think that with so many peak warriors and saint-level warriors, you can do whatever you want, thinking that our Holy See is easy to bully." ”

With such a hard tone, is there really a hidden power? However, this is the same as gambling Zakin flowers, even if you don't have hole cards, you have to cheat. Zhao Zhe's tone was very cold, and it spread far away: "If you don't compensate, I can guarantee that none of your ships can go home." As for you congenital-level powerhouses, half of them can run home, and you are lucky. ”

"It's going to cause us to fight to the death." The Pope is also extremely hard-spoken. Just when Zhao Zhe wanted to turn his face, there was a pitiful voice from the Pope in his ears: "Commander Zhao, in public, it is impossible for me to agree to any of your requests." Privately, we have everything to discuss, to discuss. ”

Zhao Zhe was happy, it turned out that he wanted to die to save face and suffer the crime. It seems that the blackmail and blackmail that is not good is simply sorry for yourself.

"A billion taels of silver, or its equivalent in gold. One million spirit stones. As long as you pay me this resource. I won't have anything to do with your Holy See about instigating people to deal with us this time. Zhao Zhe said directly.

"How is this possible?" The Pope's voice appeared sharply in Zhao Zhe's ears, and he said in shock and anger: "Commander Zhao, how can we have so much silver and spirit stones?" 100 million taels of silver, 100,000 spirit stones, this is our bottom line. ”

Zhao Zhe secretly thought that when the Empress Dowager Cixi compensated for the war reparations, it was usually hundreds of millions of taels of silver, usually accompanied by land cession and various unequal treaties. Although Na Cixi has nothing to do with herself, she can also see how powerful these European countries will be after they are defeated. How can you be soft-hearted?

"You have been in business for a thousand or two thousand years, don't tell me that you don't even have this capital. It's still the same as before, one or two taels of silver and spirit stones, and the only thing that greets both of us is immortality. Zhao Zhe took a tough attitude and directly rejected the pope's bargaining.

"It's not that I don't want to give, it's that there really aren't that much. We can still get a billion taels of silver worth of gold, silver, and valuable things. But for a million spirit stones, we really can't take out that many, at most 300,000. Otherwise, even if you kill me, I don't have that much, but this is a collection that we have accumulated for a long, long time. The pope's crying and laughing voice sounded in Zhao Zhe's ears again. He was very helpless, and he couldn't be relentless. The strength ratio of the two sides is too different. As Zhao Zhe said, even if he can escape, after returning to the Papal State, he will have no prestige from now on, and no one will pay attention to the Holy See anymore. This does not include Zhao Zhe pulling the peak warrior troops to the Vatican for sightseeing.

"Okay, that's the number. If there's one less, you're just waiting for bad luck. Zhao Zhe estimated that he couldn't squeeze the oil and water, so he agreed. After all, the so-called million spirit stones are really just their own lion's big mouth.

"Okay, but Commander Zhao, you have to promise me one condition." While the Pope breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "After you get the money and materials you need, you have to do me a favor." In front of the representatives of all countries, admit that it is inferior to our Holy See. ”
