ββ¦β¦ From this point of view, the so-called 'division is famous' in the ancient East fits this point - whether forged or framed, for the relatively free speech of the League, any diplomatic and military decision must be based on reasons sufficient to convince the people, and although this cost reduces the administrative efficiency of the League, it also brings a great benefit - compared to the ACA and the cavalry media, the people - even the ACA or the three Nordic countries - compared to the ACA and the cavalry media - the people - even the ACA or the three Nordic countries - In the past 20 years, the League has successfully transformed the media into one of its most powerful weapons, although the control of this weapon is still controversial, but if the Alliance declares the heir of the cavalry team illegal tomorrow, then I am afraid that the majority of True God believers will immediately split......"

"We just received the news that she and Ling Yu are together, the attack on Istanbul Port has been successful, the defected officer has been rescued, Ling Yu stayed and was trapped in Istanbul Port just to cover His Excellency Jiesi, who suddenly fell ill." Payne raised his hand to open an electronic board, projecting the message into the air.
"Ling Yu......"
Sauron still frowned. However, the expression on his face when he heard this name was a little gentler, and in that case, he still did not give up the seriously injured Jiesi, which more or less made Sauron have a little more affection for Ling Yu.
"With all due respect, Your Excellen......cy," suddenly the researcher standing next to him spoke, and although he hesitated, he said it anyway, "The 'Achilles' project is a top secret for the cavalry, and it ended in failure after paying a huge price, although Miss Jeuness is your friend. But her situation ...... You know that too. If she can't make it, it's not a good thing. β
"If you say something like that again, I'll cut you."
Sauron stopped and turned his head. Like a falcon watching its prey. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword. Word by word, he opened his mouth fiercely.
"Forget it, Sauron." Barrett reached out and gently stopped Sauron. Then he shook his head at the researcher, was silent for a moment, withdrew his hand, and made a "please" gesture, "Your Excellency Little Rasmiusen, please take a step to speak." β
Sauron didn't really want to kill the researcher, glared at him viciously, then turned around, nodded at Barritt, and followed him into a nearby room.
"Your Excellency Rasmussen, Jr., allow me to ask a question first." Barrett motioned for Payne to stay outside the door, then closed the door and asked a straightforward question that Sauron hadn't thought of, "Jeunse. Miss Miele, who the hell is it? β
"This ......"
As if he didn't expect to come up directly to this problem, Sauron was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.
"Sauron, I know Jeunse. Miele is your best friend, and I have a way to save her, but it's not that simple. Barrett frowned slightly, showing a hint of eagerness, "Her identity is a key. β
"Can I get a more detailed explanation?" Sauron closed his eyes slightly, leaned back slightly, and the eagerness on his face disappeared in an instant, as if it was all pretended.
"The only one who can save Jeunese now is the Alliance." Barrett turned his head, pressed the hilt of his saber with his left hand, and circled the room - although the little Lord Rasmiussen in front of him was still very young, somewhat uncontrollable, and not good at political struggle, but he lacked talent and intelligence at all, and anyone who really took him for a fool would be a fool.
"This is from a physical point of view, the Knights do not have the ability to deploy rescue troops to Turkey in twelve hours, there is no chance of success in the assault, and there is not enough time to infiltrate." Barrett closed his eyes, rubbed his chin with one hand, and explained to Solon, "Only the Alliance has the ability to get the rescue force to Istanbul in such a short time. β
"So, we have to give the alliance enough benefits for them to take this risk," Sauron walked to the chair next to him, sat down directly, and crossed his fingers on his chest, "And this benefit, you and I can't give it, you have to give it to my father, so in the final analysis, my father doesn't nod, it's because of Jeunse's own value, right?" β
"That's right." Barrett walked over to the table next to the room and leaned back against it, "With all due respect, if you are not the kind of person whose emotions overshadow reason, and although you have been trying to disguise you as that, you cannot fool us, your father's old subordinates. β
"If Jesse. Miele, if she were just your ordinary friend, you might indeed save her, but only if it didn't hurt the interests of the cavalry, but after all, Jesse. Mino is the only survivor of the 'Achilles' plan, and if the alliance is allowed to intervene in this matter, then the 'Achilles' project may be exposed, which is undoubtedly a not too small handle in the hands of the alliance. Barrett continued to speak unhurriedly, "Although this handle is not too big and not fatal, it is still a decision that is not good for the cavalry in any case. β
"Even so, do you want to save Jesse?" Barrett smiled lightly, with a playful smile, as she looked at Sauron sitting in his chair.
"Uncle Barrett, should I say, fortunately, you're on your father's side?" Sauron gently hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at Barrett standing next to him, and then took a deep breath, "Then I'll sue you, and Jesse will be saved." β
"Why?" Barrett remained unchanged and kept smiling.
"If you don't save Jeunse, you and the Rasmiusens will be losers. The only winner was Marvin. Greg. β
Sauron gently stretched out two fingers, and without waiting for Barrett to ask, he said two words lightly.
"First, Jeunse's real name is, Karin. Rasmussen. β
"Second, Ling Yu, who is now by Karin's side and will not leave Karin behind when he dies, I am eighty percent sure that he is the 'son of God'."
Sauron looked up. With a smiling expression. looked at Barriet, who was slowly retracting his smile on the other side, but there was only a sharp pain in his heart.
Karin, you must be safe.

If it is said. Marvin. Greg was the right wing of the Order. Advocated that the Order should be expanded. Against the Rasmussen family against the Knights, then this John. Barrett was the leader of the left-wing camp of the Knights, and the vested interests under the control of the Rasmussen family - John Murphy. Barrett followed Isaac twenty years ago. Rasmussen. And it was his closest secretary and adjutant, and more importantly, John. Barriet is not a vase, he came to power by being close to the Rasmussen family, and has always been the closest partner of the Rasmussen family, he once had the opportunity to enter the council, but he refused, because compared to the speaker Isaac, who gave up his direct military power, and the hairy boy Solon, Barrett has a wider network in the army, and in the chief knight Jesse. After Meno left the Guards Cavalry, the new captain was John Brown. Barrett's henchman, simply put, John. Barrett could mobilize four cavalry without confronting the Rasmussons, and of the remaining thirteen, four were loyal to Sauron, while only three were influenced by the right wing, and the rest were charged by the council.
Because of this, Rasmussen the Elder, who represents the Parliament, Rasmussen the Younger, and Barrett can control a total of 14 cavalry, and it is precisely because of this that the rule of Iceland has always been in the hands of the old Rasmussen.
So, this John. Barrett, who is undoubtedly a "royalist", must act in the interests of the left-wing forces in which he lives.
And these two facts thrown by Sauron are the key to Barrett.
If you say, Karin. Rasmussen's identity, if Barrett has to think about whether it is worth it, then "son of God" is a reason he can't refuse.
Moreover, the two have a delicate chemistry together - now, saving Jeuness is not just a matter of helping the Rasmussen family, to be honest, to be able to call this name, most likely this Karin is Isaac's own daughter, and the father who can send this daughter to the test bed, the dear speaker Isaac. Rasmussen may not have put this in the hands of the Alliance for the sake of Jeunse.
But if the Son of God had an intimate relationship with Jesse, then the immediate result would be...... Not to mention control, at least the Rasmussen family has a very important influence on the son of God, and if it is not saved, the son of God will easily hold a grudge against the Rasmussen family, so as to fall to Marven's line.
Although it is still unknown how much appeal this "child of God" can have for the Order itself, the basis of the Order's rule, the sympathizers and hermits of the Knights in the three Nordic countries, Iceland, and the world will inevitably echo it!
Although Ling Yu's identity has not yet been finalized, and the most authoritative way to determine it is only the Ark's main AI Karitas, the alliance has the most powerful, unshakable, and most influential media communication network in the world!
Even if the Cavalry denies it, the Allies' media network can make the Cavalry almost silent - after all, the vast majority of people who believe in the True God are poor and do not necessarily have the ability or conditions to distinguish between them.
What's more, this matter can greatly advance the pace of the Alliance and the Knight Solidarity Alliance.
Whether it was Barret, or Sauron in front of him, or the old Speaker in the Holy Land of ΓsafjΓΆrΓ°ur, they all knew that the alliance between the Order and the Alliance was inevitable, and only by forming an alliance with the Alliance would the Rasmucsen family not be liquidated by the League or the right wing of the Order after handing over power in the future.
However, due to the obstruction of the right wing, this process has not been carried out very smoothly.
And now, if it is the alliance that rescues the Son of God, or if the Son of God itself is inclined to the Alliance, then the right wing must seriously consider the question of alliance with the alliance - this is probably the double-edged sword of religious politics, the Knights have consolidated their rule in twenty years by relying on religious politics, but now, the other side of the blade has been put on the neck of the Order.
While Barrett was thinking about this, Sauron's heart was dripping with blood.
Although he pretended to be rational and offered the knight chief in front of him, the most important ally of his family, who could not refuse, there was only pain hidden under his calm expression.
At the end of the day, do you still have to be used as a tool? Carlin......
Myself, I really don't fit this kind of political struggle.
"In that case, I'll immediately contact the embassy in Icarus and ask for the Alliance's help." Barrett straightened up, as if to comfort Sauron, he pressed his hands down, "Those guys on Icarus, I guess I wish the Knights owe them a favor so that the process of alliance between the two sides can be promoted." β
"Well, that's fine." Speaking of this, a twinkle suddenly appeared in Sauron's eyes, "It is also good for us to form an alliance as soon as possible. β
Forget it, wait for the alliance and the knight unity alliance, find a war zone yourself, and go to be a front-line TF, Lao Tzu passed on the throne to his son, this kind of thing is estimated to only be ridiculed in this era, besides, I have had enough of this kind of dirty transaction based on interests.
Thinking like this, Sauron suddenly became a little envious of Ling Yu.
"Then I'll get in touch." Barrett said, opening the door, then suddenly stopped and turned his head, interrupting Sauron, who was pondering, "...... old Speaker?" β
"Yes, I'll take care of that side, you get the ambassador ready first." Sauron stood up, "The Research Center can talk directly to the 'Ark', and I have permission to use the confidential line. β
"Alright, I'll leave it to you here," Barrett raised his hand and gave a knightly salute, then turned around, waved at Payne, took the deputy knight captain, and walked towards the gate of the institute.
"Lord Sauron, if you can, please don't give up Jeunse," Payne didn't immediately follow, but spoke softly at Sauron, who passed by him, he didn't know Jess yet, but he still took a breath, "We cavalry owe this girl too much. β
"I know."
Sauron patted the knight who was older than himself on the shoulder, then turned and walked deeper into the research center. (To be continued......)
