Robert. Guiscade, the demigod of the House of Outville, is known as the "Cunning Fox".

Standing on the high ground, indifferently watching the siege posture of the Norman knights in front of them.

The Outville family has two demigods, one is William "The Iron Arm" and the other is Robert "The Foxy Fox".

Generally speaking, with the current state of emptiness in southern Italy and the current state of emptiness, the configuration of two demigods is enough for the family to conquer this area.

However, the Normans knew that the relationship between the two demigods was actually very poor, and it was impossible to put down their work and cooperate sincerely.

William the Iron Arm is the current head of the Otterville family, and Robert is his half-brother.

Their father, Tanfred, was a young baron in the Kingdom of West Francia who had a large family (2 wives, 12 sons and 7 daughters) with little property, so the family was always full of trivial quarrels.

Later, the sons could not bear the suffering of poverty and went out in search of wealth and glory. Eventually, William gained a foothold in Sicily, and Robert, hearing that his brother had built his business in southern Italy, gave up his adventurous career to join him.

As a result, only a castle in a remote fiefdom was obtained.

Of course, being able to follow the ranks during the Demon Tide Cap Increase, and finally being promoted to a demigod not long ago, Robert is certainly not a mediocre figure - like William the Iron Arm, he relied on real knives and real guns. The world is so big, there are always a few proud sons of heaven who can be favored by fate and fortune, and are destined to become the destroyers and subversives of the old era.

Soon, the Norman knights captured the castle ahead and began to slaughter the Templar defenders as their line collapsed. Robert sneered and moved forward surrounded by the guards.

Since Sicily's brother was unwilling to give him a fief, he could only go north to personally seize southern Italy and Canada, and lay his own foundation.

The news of the loss of Calabria soon reached the city of Solomon, and for a time the whole city was panicked, and a large number of citizens began to flee north.

However, the Holy See soon sent a priest to explain that Calabria was the poorest region in the whole of Italy and Canada, and it had not yet had time to repair and activate the anti-magic magnetic field, so it would fall under the attack of the Norman knights.

At present, 37 anti-magic magnetic fields have been activated on the Italian and Canadian peninsulas, and more will be activated in the coming weeks, which will be enough to protect the situation around the city of Luomen.

In fact, the information presented to the Synod of Cardinals shows that the actual situation in the South is much worse than what they claim to be. The main thing is that the offensive of the "cunning fox" is simply too fast. In the current situation that the military industrial system of the Holy See has not been fully restored, it is difficult to resist the attack of the other side.

The Outville family holds a transcendent bloodline called "Northern Horn", and the sequence combination is Strength X + Tenacity II + Blunt I + Berserk III + Frost III.

Legend has it that the "Horn of the North" is one of the many savage bloodlines in the possession of the Ancient Viking clan, and the wielder can use the power of frost to freeze enemies, or enter a berserk state at any time to increase his combat power, marked by the fact that when the bloodline is completed, the hair will turn as white as ice, and the eyeballs will highlight a large amount of blood.

With the help of this bloodline formula, the "Northern Horn" army created by the Outville family is composed of Norman knights with a mainstream level of Lv.6, and is basically not afraid of gunpowder-driven firearms attacks. Among them, the high-level Norman knights have reached the level of Lv.8, forming the backbone of the "Northern Horn", and their mastery of the abilities of frost and fury is even more formidable.

As for the few Norman knights above Lv.10 and with great blood, their hair has completely turned white. The Normans called them "Huscarl", meaning "tribal guard", a title that legend has it that only the most elite warriors of the Old Viking clan earned.

……

Innocent put down the information and looked at the cardinals as if they were facing a great enemy, his face expressionless.

The cardinals' meaning is simple: now that the Holy See has experienced two rounds of invasion by the Demon Tide and the Mutation, and the recovery of the military industry has been greatly slowed down, it is really not the right time to start a war with the Normans.

In addition, even if the Norman knights are limited by the anti-magic magnetic field, their outstanding ** strength can resist the shooting of bullets, and if they really want to send the Templars to exterminate the Normans, I am afraid that they will not have any advantage at all.

As for the Norman army, there was also a demigod...... The cardinals no longer want to discuss this matter, and if they continue to discuss it, the Holy See may have to run away again.

Defeating the Norman army and driving it out of Italy is now almost impossible. The cardinals believed that it was imperative to slow down their invasion of the north and wait for the Holy See to drag out the military industry.

As for who will carry out this task? The Templars certainly couldn't count on it, and the production line of the Angel Force had not yet been restored, so they could only count on friendly armed forces among the people.

For example, a certain R4 mercenary group, it is said that they also participated in the civil war of the HRE Empire back then, which delayed the Wolf family's invasion of the Duchy of Bavaria, and it happened that there was also a demigod in the Wolf family at that time, and the situation was surprisingly similar to today...... Therefore, they are absolutely incomparably experienced in fighting guerrilla warfare and delaying time.

Hearing this, Bishop Valyan turned pale on the spot, and quarreled fiercely with the proposed cardinal:

This Nima, how many levels was the upper limit of the Demon Tide level at that time, and what level is it now?

Can a demigod with his hands and feet and a demigod who can spread out his realm and let go of his actions be the same level of threat?

Are you not planning to target us Licinies? This hatred, Lao Tzu wrote it down!

In response to Bishop Valyan's angry accusations, the other party also replied one by one with emotion:

First of all, the upper limit of the Demon Tide level has indeed risen, but hasn't the average level of the Azure Sword Mercenary Group also increased? There are several law-level powerhouses!

Secondly, in terms of the degree of threat, Nima's Azure Sword is R4! Are these Normans only R2 good at Raphael?

Finally, I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, I'm talking about you Licinies...... All have problems!

The Pope has appointed you Valyan as his heir, and intends to canonize your sister, so it can be said that in a few years the entire Holy See will be controlled by your family. With such a big benefit, you want to pick it without much effort, and you are not willing to pay any price?

You take the benefits, and when you encounter danger, you will pretend to be dead, how can there be such a reason!

This indignant accusation directly paralyzed Bishop Valyan. After all, this high-level intellectual, who also wanted to be faced, sat back in his chair dejectedly, completely unable to refute a word.

Pope Innocent saw it in his eyes, and he already made a decision in his heart.

Now the cardinals have reached a consensus to let the blue sword solve the predicament of the war outside, and there is no opposition to the Pope's "King James heir" in it.

On the other hand, if the Azure Sword Mercenary Group really succeeded in resolving this crisis, these obstacles would immediately turn into their prestige. After that, he had to hand over the Holy See to Nola, and the opposition would undoubtedly be much smaller.

If analyzed in this way, it is self-evident how to make decisions at the moment.
