Pope Nathaniel glanced at the corner where the voice came out but didn't say anything, he understood that the church's long-term high-pressure rule, especially after Rolf's accession to the throne, made many people and even many nobles secretly dissatisfied, but so what, the struggle for power itself is life and death, not to mention that at this time, he is not willing to waste energy because of these trivial things!

"The headband with two horns and a hideous face, or the only thing that is the same as a human being, the army of these demons is not stinking or chaotic but more rigorous and well-trained, and the addition of this contingent of only a thousand people did not attract the attention of the human authorities until ...... Until they attacked......"

As if he had experienced that scene himself, the Pope muttered with a dead face

"They held strange and evil banners, silently took the initiative to attack the army of hundreds of thousands of humans, this seemingly ridiculous move almost led to the complete collapse of the entire human army, each of them archers can easily snipe at a distance far beyond several times that of human archers, not to mention the terrifying rate of fire and accuracy, only a few hundred people but each of them can form a dense rain of arrows with a bow and several arrows"

Hearing this, I don't know why Professor Pericles suddenly remembered Aldaryan's words: "Sooner or later, one day I will fight those demons and see who is the strongest archer!" Shaking his head, the professor refocused again

"Their warriors are not equipped with common shields, but they can appear or disappear strangely in light armor, and the long swords of narrow and tall people allow them to easily kill dozens of human warriors in a flash, and the most terrifying thing is indeed the demon knights led by their leader himself, if the black armored cavalry of those who fell at the beginning is strong, then these demon knights can be called terrifying! The scarce numbers could not hide their unrivaled strength, and in a single impact, their leader alone killed thousands of human soldiers and knights, and this unheard-of power almost almost collapsed the human alliance, but fortunately, their numbers were too scarce......"

After a pause, looking at everyone's skeptical looks, the Pope continued noncommittally

"Fortunately, although there was a disaster in that era, the number of human beings was still far greater than now, so after the initial panic and panic, the human beings who were behind their homes still relied on the number of people and the spirit of fearlessness to die, and in the middle of the war, there were even children under the age of 13 on the battlefield, at that time everyone was a consumable without exception, everyone firmly believed that demons were also life, and they could be killed, and this is indeed the case, Those powerful demons finally began to lose as the war progressed, but each demon required hundreds or thousands of lives from humans to exchange, and at this time, humans finally understood who their enemies were......"

"Those black-armored soldiers and the original knights, I think they should be the descendants of the forsaken, but how did these so-called demons appear? To know that in any of the books I have read there is no mention at all that this species has ever existed in our world? ”

Professor Pericles seemed to be caught in the frenzy of an academic discussion, and finally couldn't help but interrupt and ask the question in his mind

"Yes, this is also part of the professors that our ancestors are entangled, but as the war continues, the human beings of the year have also understood something through various channels, the demons seem to have been directly descended to this world by some unknown force, their arrival and their resentment and killing dark emotions, but it is just in response to those forgotten in despair, and soon these human beings are completely degraded after a short struggle, and the demon can directly give these fallen people far more power than before, That's probably one of the reasons they're stronger than most humans......"

After a few simple explanations, the Pope straightened his clothes, his face became solemn and respectful at this moment, and he said slowly in the puzzled eyes of everyone

"In such a dark and almost desperate age, the great prophet of the founder of the Church was born, a young man who went out of the countryside suddenly felt the blessing of the Most High God one day, he felt that he had to give hope to mankind, desperately stretched out a gap in the darkness for people to see the light, and then, the young man did just that, he tirelessly lobbied every person in power, to encourage and help every soldier and civilian, during this period, he suffered countless humiliations and sufferings, but in the end, the young man insisted on going first, The founding of the Church strengthened everyone's faith, made up for the weakness of the heart, and made people more fearless of life and death and dared to give, and it was his efforts that brought the human race on the continent together for the first time without selfishness, and the name of this great man is ......"

"Carlos Maxwell!"

Almost everyone pronounced the name in their hearts or lips at the same time, any nobleman would learn this name at a young age, the founder of the Church, the prophet, who was considered the most merciful and just man in the world, of course, these are the words of the Church, but in any case, except for the absence of a mention of what the Pope said above, a pioneer would still be respected and worshipped!

"The unselfish ancestors who fought to protect their homeland burst out with amazing fighting power and creativity, from kings to nobles, knights to commoners, everyone gave everything without reservation, and sacrifice became a very honorable thing at that time...... At the same time, a great deal of knowledge related to war, which had been abandoned again, was rediscovered, trebuchets, giant crossbows, and better weapons and armor were made by craftsmen day and night, and more combat skills were selflessly shared, and human beings began to rotate like a huge machine with proper lubrication......"

"Decades of war have spread across the continent, from the warm south to the cold north, from the rich east to the cold west, and humanity has slowly but resolutely pushed its own front to squeeze the enemy's living space...... Finally, after paying millions of casualties among civilians, the remnants of the demonic army were once again forced back to the place where they landed, looking at the resentful and unwilling eyes of those, especially the descendants of the forsaken, the human race had lost the power to pursue at this moment, and before boarding the last giant ship, the leader of the demon said a word in front of everyone......"

Trembling, trembling desperately like chaff, a sea of blood seemed to appear in front of Pope Nathaniel's eyes, and he licked his parched lips and whispered

"We will come back, no matter the sea of mulberry fields or the change of dynasty, we will always come back! In order to be able to return to his hometown......"

Almost paralyzed to say this, as if there was a power of fear in these simple dozens of words, it took the Pope a long time to regain his composure and pause for a long time before he reluctantly spoke

For this reason, perhaps in order for the descendants of mankind not to live in fear, the rulers and nobles who experienced the war finally lost this history to the long river of history after the war by confiscating and tampering with books, etc., after several generations...... In this case, he can only secretly pass down these messages within the Church, in order to prevent them from being destroyed by successive authorities, all these records have always been passed down and read by the Pope in the Church......"

Speaking of which, in Professor Pericles' confusion, Pope Nathaniel looked at him with a complicated face for a long time before a few words burst out from between his teeth

And ...... And Carlos Maxwell also left an edict that if humanity faces the invasion of demons again, even if the beliefs are different, as long as it is for the same humanity and for the sake of unity...... The Church will have to allow other denominations to exist! ”

Time in the room seemed to come to a standstill, and everyone, including Rolf, looked at the Pope in horror, and Aeoris stopped talking, and the nobles kept rubbing their eyes in surprise, no one believed that such words could come from the mouth of the Pope, from the mouth of Nathaniel, who would not allow anyone else to touch even religious persecution......

After a long time, Professor Pericles took a deep look at the Pope, whose expression was painful, struggling and relaxed, and after coughing heavily to regain attention, he first bowed slightly to the Pope's forehead and then bowed to Rolf's chest again

"Although it is true that I cannot confirm the account of His Holiness the Pope, I have found many similarities in the analysis of His Highness Léo and several other lords, so, dear Your Majesty, do you still doubt the proposal of the Duchy of Pande for peace?"

With a long sigh, Rolf and Saru exchanged a look, and after receiving the other's affirmative gaze, he finally lifted it down slightly, and spoke softly in an extremely weak voice

"I went to tell Leo that I felt his sincerity and goodwill, that from now on the war between the two armies has come to a standstill, and if I can, I hope to meet with him in person in a day to finalize the contract and possible cooperation in the future, and ...... I'm sorry Professor, but as the Emperor, I can't prepare you with the kind of banquet you deserve, but I can't help you......"

With a smile on his face, he bowed slightly, and Professor Pericles, who had achieved his initial goal, was not surprised, but was slightly relieved in a good mood

"I can understand your plight, Your Majesty, if you may allow me to retire, perhaps soon after we have reached an agreement, I think that the benevolent Highness Leo will not hesitate to provide you and your men with some insignificant help!"
