"When will you attack? You actually ask me when to attack? Could it be that you know how to fight better than I do?" the general who sat at the top of the table sneered and asked in a contemptuous tone, as if the envoy representing Luteti (the capital of Sweden) had asked an extremely ridiculous question, and there was a burst of laughter in the tent.

Hearing the laughter in the tent, the envoy's face became blue and red for a while, and after a while, the laughter in the tent gradually stopped, but the chief general who sat in the first place still did not speak, staring at the envoy with his goshawk-like gaze, and in the silence, the envoy writhed uneasily.

The main general came down, walked down the slightly arched high platform, walked in front of the envoy, and felt the murderous aura of this incomparably strong bloody general, the envoy's legs had begun to tremble, and he seemed to hear the wails of the thousands of people who died because of him behind the main general.

"I, Conquist of the Wau, Conquist of the 'miracle', need a group of goats who can only sit on the altar and chant scriptures to teach me how to fight!"

"No, no!" came the thunderous cheers of Conquest's fanatical admirers, and the envoy sat down on the ground.

Seeing the envoy's ugly appearance, Conquist let out a rough laugh, and with a wave of his hand, the guards on both sides immediately stepped forward and threw the trembling envoy out of the tent.

A moment later, there was a cry of grief from another tent: "My lord, how arrogant you are when you have not seen Conquest and the General! I have come to urge the decree on behalf of Luteti, and he has done this to me, and where has he placed our Ruiying traditions!"

The object of the envoy's complaint, the priest of Conquest's army, said with a grim face: "I know, you go out first, and I will write to Luteti." ”

Drove away the trembling envoys, paced the priest with him a few times, and then sat down helplessly in his chair, rubbing his temples and taking out a pen and paper, ready to reply to Lute.

"Conquest's arrogance has reached an extremely bad level, and now he dares to delay the major affairs of the military state! Surround Kodomi, the capital of the enemy country is besieged but not attacked, so as to threaten us, and in this way, he will have more and more troops in his hands, and almost all the armies in our whole country will be controlled by him!"

The letter from the military priests soon reached Luteti, and the high-ranking members of the Luteti held an emergency meeting under the auspices of the current Patriarch, Latiniusa XI.

The "Third Unaike War" has been going on for 24 years now, and in the first ten years of the war, although Ruiying had a slight upper hand, it was only a tug-of-war in the northern part of the Maiqiu Plain, and at most advanced to the Qiu Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It wasn't until 4 years ago that the 20-year-old Conquest who had just graduated went to the battlefield, and the battle situation suddenly changed dramatically, and the Qiu Fortress, which Ruiying Maiqiu spent countless efforts to build, was breached in less than 2 years with the power of Conquest.

In so many wars in the past, there were many reasons why Ruiying Maiqiu was able to cope with two-front wars, one of which was Qiu Zhi Pass, which was named after the second patriarch in the history of the Illuminati and the younger brother of the two Bright Saints, and its easy-to-defend fortress was strong enough to hold off most of the attacks.

So in the past, once Ruiying Maiqiu sensed that something was wrong, he would almost give up most of the territory south of Qiu, and then stick to Qiu, which proved to be very effective, because the obstruction of the Maiqiu Mountains on the east side caused Qiu to be the only passage, and if he held Qiu, Ruiying would not be able to reach the core area of Ruiying Maiqiu's rule.

However, in this war, Qiu fell, so Ruiying's army set foot on the land of Qiu's north for the first time, although there was a pass after Qiu, Tia, as the last line of defense to hold Kodomi, but Tia was surrounded by plains, and while surrounding Tia, Ruiying's army could easily bypass Tia to destroy local production.

So under the command of Conquest, it took another 2 years, Tia and the surrounding Ula and Faiadochi all fell, and the advance of the Ruiying army reached the city of Kodomi, the capital of Ruiying Maiqiu, for the first time, but when it surrounded Kodomi, Conquest, who had really become the commander-in-chief, stopped the pace of invasion and besieged Kodomi without attacking.

The lower-level soldiers may not know why, but how can the high-ranking Ruiying, who is sitting high in Luteti, not know the reason, Conquest is talking to Luteti about the conditions.

Latinhosa XI's memories go back more than ten years, when he was not the Patriarch of Shweying, but it is known that he had a very beautiful and very good daughter, and it was through the marriage of this daughter that he was qualified to become the Patriarch.

And his daughter gave birth to another daughter, as beautiful and excellent as her mother, Michelan, the pearl of Ruiying, that Conquest has not yet married, and it is said that when he graduated, he said, "To be an official should be the chief judge, and to marry a wife should be to marry Michelan." ”

This sentence came out later, at least it was known after the rise of Conquest, as for whether Conquest said it when he graduated, then no one knows, but this is not the point, the focus is on the ambition revealed in these two sentences, Conquest's ambition.

Seeing that no one had spoken for a long time, Latinusa XI took up his responsibility as patriarch and took the lead in an unhurried tone:

"My granddaughter, the beautiful Mi Kelan, if he had proposed it three years ago, I could still consider it, but Mi Kelan is now engaged, how can she break the marriage witnessed by the gods and snatch her love?"

In fact, the so-called horizontal knife snatching love is secondary, the most important thing is that the object of Michelan's marriage is also a noble and noble family with noble and ancient blood, Ruiying has been restored for more than 300 years, only the military nobles have been snatched by the priests and nobles, and there has never been a priest and nobles who have been snatched by the military nobles, and Latinusa XI does not want to make history in this regard.

"In addition, the Chief Inquisitor, who is the supreme commander of all the armies of Ruiying, is responsible for adjudicating all matters related to the army, and since ancient times, it has been necessary to be a military priest or secret priest who has graduated from the Hall of Judgment, and has noble blood, excellent ability, and rich experience can only be appointed as a priest or secret priest, and General Conquest, unfortunately, does not meet any of these conditions. ”

The first of the five conditions for the chief judge is to graduate from the court of adjudication, and Conquist graduated from the Milan Military Academy; he must have a noble bloodline, for a priest, the blood of a military nobleman is considered a fart blood; excellent ability does not refer to military ability, but refers to the ability to worship the gods, so Conquist does not meet it; rich experience naturally does not refer to military experience, but the experience of governing the place; and the last one, the priest, Conquist is not a priest, in fact, he rarely deprives the power of the military priest。

Therefore, the two conditions put forward by Conquest, no matter which one it is, are slapping Luteti's face fiercely, and once he agrees, where will the face of the Luteti nobles go?

But now the question is, what can you do if you don't agree? With Conquest's siege of Kodomi, most of Ruiying's elite army is now in Conquest's hands, and Conquest has become the idol of the national army by virtue of his miraculous victory.

Theoretically, not all of the armies that were besieging Kodomi were commanded by Conquest, but priests with a little common sense knew that as long as Conquest waved his arms, all the knowledgeable and literate aristocratic soldiers under his command would go after their idols, and they would not be able to meet the true commanders.

"I wonder what the supreme god of light thinks?" asked a priest on the side, pinning his hopes on the prayer of King Latinyusa XI to the god of light last night.

Latinusa XI's language was not emotional, lest he be caught, but his inclination could still be seen in his iron-blue countenance: "General Conquest is a devout priest to the God of Light by the people of Ruiying, and fate has blessed Ruiying, and the God of Light intends to canonize him as a saint." ”

"Saint, a saint who has never been a priest, this is a violation!" a priest screamed, and it was clear why it was Latinius XI who sat in the patriarch's seat instead of him, "There is only one saint in Ruiying so far, and that is Lord Penfido II the 'Restored'!

"General, Your Excellency," said Latiniusa XI, whose tone was still cold, and of course the facts he said next were even colder, "and General Conquest replied to us, believing that his current profession was very suitable and that he did not need to change careers to become a priest. ”

In other words, Conquest rejected the courtship of the priestly group and remained firmly in the military group. Because although Conquest is domineering, he is not stupid, his source of power is the army, not the priests, once he joins the military group, then he is undoubtedly a traitor to the military group.

When the time comes, the military group will no longer follow him, so he can only let the priest group control it, and how can his own Wau family, a noble family rooted in the military, fight with those ancient nobles with noble blood in the priesthood?

"General Conquest, Luteti's will, to accept all the general's requests," the excited voices of his followers came from outside the tent, and Conquist smiled, he pushed open the door of the tent, and the sunlight poured in and sprinkled Conquest's body, which in Conquest's eyes was his glorious future.

At the same time, the current patriarch of the House of Ponsar, the 70-year-old grandson of Coonsh'en, Anciweno, is carrying the Seven Objects of the Saints, under the protection of the family's personal soldiers and the Apostle of God, Dante, towards the besieged Codomi.
