In the Basilica of the Holy See, the Pope still did not attend the meeting, and the three archbishops sat side by side at the table, quietly staring at the hourglass, and a heavy atmosphere enveloped the temple.

"I heard, something happened to Void Ancestor City?" Xilan preemptively spoke, "I don't understand, I've completely routed their troops, and the rest of the militia can cause chaos under the nose of an archbishop?"

"It's not the local armed forces, it's the residents who live in Void Ancestor City. Langer rubbed his head and said, he originally thought that this unrest was just a small turmoil, but he did not expect it to come to such a point, even he could not calm down, the turmoil became more and more powerful, and in the end he had to mobilize the crusaders to carry out armed suppression, but the effect was counterproductive, and the people's revolt increased day by day, and even began to openly burn down the church.

"The origin of the matter came from the nobles of the Void Ancestral City, without the deterrence of the royal family, they began to loot wealth and land one after another, and the guards in the city were their own soldiers, and the inhabitants would be whipped if they resisted," Lang said with a sigh.

"Why is our army turning a blind eye to this?" said Xilan with a frown.

"It's not because we are new to the Void Ancestor, the foundation is not stable, we need the help of the nobles to stand firm, and to calm down some civil unrest, so that we can quickly grasp all the power of the Void Ancestor, and when the Void Ancestor is completely in our pocket, those nobles will be kicked out one by one. Archbishop Jon explained.

"But now the situation seems to be the opposite!" Xilan sneered, "After the people started to make a commotion, the nobles took refuge in their castles, and we have to clean up this mess. ”

"I will negotiate with the nobles and order them not to continue plundering and looting......," Rang pondered for a moment, "The nobles still have a place in the Void Ancestral City, and if our reaction is too tough, I am afraid that it will touch their keen nerves, and if we cause us trouble, it will be worth the loss." ”

"That's it," Jon said, following Lange's words, "it's impossible to expect the nobles to spit out the silver coins they swallowed in their stomachs, and all we can do is to stop the further deterioration of the situation and quell the civil unrest as soon as possible." ”

"We can borrow a little army from the nobles to quell the civil unrest......"

"No!" Xilan directly interrupted Lan Ge's words, "Any act of plundering in the lower cities of the Holy See must be punished as it should be, regardless of whether his status is a nobleman or a royal family, otherwise how can we establish majesty in the hearts of the people?"

"Archbishop Xilan, I'm well aware of this, but don't forget that we haven't fully controlled Void Ancestral City yet!" Jon reminded.

"Not quite mastered?" Xilan stood up, "I led the Crusaders to break through the gates of the Void Ancestral City, killed their guards and officers with my own hands, and drove the royal family out, and put the Crusaders' banner on the highest castle. ”

"If those nobles have a problem with the ownership of the Void Ancestor, I can let them understand once again, who is the master of the Void Ancestor?" Xi Lan said disapprovingly: "Those moths are vainly trying to take advantage of the chaos to fatten themselves and make so many things, even the clergy have died dozens of people, I will find them to settle this account." ”

"Archbishop Xilan, don't do anything drastic, the nobles are still strong in the Void Ancestor, we don't have to compete with them," Lang stretched out his hand and waved, and the support of the nobles was stronger than that of the people, he didn't want to push the nobles to the opposite side of the Holy See because of this, "If the Holy See wants to expand outward, the support of the nobles is indispensable." ”

"I really hope that you saw with your own eyes the battle to occupy the Void Ancestor, if it weren't for the people's willingness to support the Holy See and open the gates in the city, we would not have achieved such a rich result!" Xilan shook his head contemptuously and said: "And those nobles, who enjoyed the royalty and fiefdom given by the king, chose to escape during the battle, refusing to give a single force and assistance, and after our army stepped into the city gate, they quickly knelt on the ground to show their attachment. ”

"This kind of thing, I feel disgusted even if I look at it more!" "When Xi Lan mentioned the nobles in Void Ancestral City, the expression on his face was as if he had seen a bubble of stenching dog shit.

Just because of this, you have to clean up those nobles? Lang felt a little incredible, he really couldn't understand the thinking of these members of the ruling temple, the pursuit of advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the psychology that everyone will have, and for the continent where royal power often changes, the speed of nobles changing masters is even faster than that of a farmer changing hoes, and it is common for them to be loyal to this one today and that one tomorrow.

And the rulers often don't care about these things, as long as the nobles can bring real benefits to themselves, as for loyalty, don't expect extravagant.

"No, if that's all, I'm not in a hurry to do it to them. Xi Lan shook his head, and then said, "But now if you want to quell the turmoil in Void Ancestor City as quickly as possible, the only way to do this is to conduct a public trial of these culprits!"

"My suggestion is ......," Jon wanted to say more.

"I'm not talking to you. Xi Lan said expressionlessly: "This is my decision!"

"If you can't handle it, just leave it to me!"

After hearing Silan's categorical decision, Jon and Lang looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"When are you going to have the Crusaders escort the nobles back to the temple?" asked Ranger.

"No need, I decided to go to the Void Ancestor myself. Xi Lan shook his head, "It's too long to bring them back, I'm afraid there will be changes in Void Ancestor City, I want to put all this down as soon as possible before then." ”

"Do you need to bring the paladin?" Ranger asked worriedly, "If the nobles are threatened, I am afraid that they will unite and rebel." ”

"When I was outside the city, they didn't dare to resist, and now that I control the Void Ancestor, how can they have the guts?"

When you attacked the Void Ancestors, you just wanted to overthrow the royal family, but now you want to do it against them, isn't that really good?

If the nobles are cornered, the Crusaders will most likely have to fight another war in the Void Ancestral City.

In that case, the losses of both sides could be regarded as pure internal friction, and the nobles could have become assistants of the Holy See......

Langer sighed regretfully, but a little helplessly.

The people who adjudicate the temple are really tendons.

The foundation of the Holy See is not at all on the poor people.

They can't even get a few silver coins, and they can't help the Holy See at all, only the wealth of the nobles can make the Holy See stronger.

Xilan, why don't you understand?
