"Kiro and Riley" Fid still wondered if the other had said the wrong thing, but Rassad's determined eyes already showed the idea of starting with the archbishop's cronies. If the chief knight Kiro and Riley go on such a dangerous mission, then the archbishop will only have Rashad and the female chief knight Selena at his side, and if he wants to carry out a coup d'état at this time

Can Fid only think of the most serious consequences, is this assignment just an attempt to dislodge the people whom Arthur Auerbach trusted?

"You may have thought of my plan," the young and handsome deputy head of the Knights of the Church looked serious, holding the map of the secret passage in his hand, which did not look like he was joking at all, "Only the Papal States under the full rule of the Pope, the people of those other countries will believe us, and a greedy guy like the archbishop will not let the Transriverine region return to peace." Trying to convince Fid with words that he knew the support of the other side was important, Rashhad saw this as a pivotal moment in the power struggle between the two religious figures.

"This map is in your hands, and it's not my right to tell who to go." With that, he left the barracks.

After leaving the barracks, Fei De began to wonder if he had chosen the wrong person in the first place. Now Rashhad only wants to bring down the archbishop and ignore the East Oguna Empire, which is still in front of him. If Glyncor had continued to send troops to Rivercastle, it would not have been so easy to deal with, and he should have taken Rivercastle with all his might, but now the temporary commander-in-chief of the Church Alliance was only concerned with internal struggles, which really shouldn't be.

It's just that three days later, before Rashad could decide who to send to participate in the secret tunnel attack, some news came from afar that could change the strategic situation.

The first thing was that Captain Satnam had returned to the City of Light, and he had brought with him a reply from the regent Shumo, the supreme commander of the Western Oguna Empire - with the promise of the Holy Maiden Goliath and the regent Xiumo at the same time, the Papal States had reached an alliance agreement with the Western Oguna Empire, and they would advance and retreat together in the face of the Eastern Oguna Empire. This alliance agreement included the borrowing of food, the borrowing of national territorial passages, and the support of soldiers on the Eastern Front.

Archbishop Arthur Auerbach was overjoyed when he heard the news, he knew that his henchman Satnam must have signed an alliance with the Theoguna Empire in the name of the archbishop, so he was equivalent to an additional external support. Moreover, the food problem was also solved by the way, and the soldiers of the Theoguna Empire would also support the battlefield on their side, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

In addition to the need to deliver food to the front-line soldiers on the Eastern Front, the regent Shumo also asked to meet with General Guillermo of the Kingdom of Salins to consider proposing a Triple Alliance agreement, so that the kingdom on the west side of the continent could also assist the Western Oguna Empire and attack the Eastern Oguna Empire with all its might.

This proposal was verbally agreed to by Satnam when he met, after all, the tens of thousands of infantry in the Kingdom of Salins were troops sent by the second prince of Amsul, and this Amsoil was relatively close to the Pope, so Satnam could not have the final say.

However, this wonderful atmosphere did not last long, and a piece of bad news followed, much to the disappointment of all the leaders of Crefeld City.

"Windmill City has fallen into the hands of Admiral Sloman, and now Greene has sent another army through the southernmost pass of the Split Mountain Range to advance quickly towards the core territory of the Theoguna Empire!"

Archbishop Arthur Auerbach swallowed in an instant, and he couldn't open his mouth when he wanted to say something. The leaders of the mercenary groups of the other church alliances also frowned, the southern gate of the West Oguna Empire has been opened, and the situation that has been suppressing the East Oguna Empire may be changed because of this.

"How is this possible?!Isn't Windmill City guarded by the shrewd and capable Earl of Francester, as a large port?" "Knight Chief Kiro knows a lot about the domestic lords of the surrounding countries, and he has always heard that Windmill City is a rich city, and the defense ability there is also very strong, but he didn't expect it to be taken down.

"I heard that a mercenary group cooperated with the navy to take down that important southern town!" The knight knelt down on one knee, and did not dare to raise his head, but only dared to tell the truth about the news he had received loudly.

"Mercenaries?!, can't they be those guys from the Mercenary Guild, right?" a mercenary group leader questioned in a low voice.

"Only the mercenary guild can gain trust in Windmill City, and then the inside and outside should cooperate," another mercenary group agreed.

"So the Knights and Mercenaries are also enemies, or are the scavenging birds of the Mercenary Guild currying favor on both sides?!" a regimental leader who sat a little farther away scolded in a low voice.

Most of the people were silent, and the person who invited the mercenary guild to assist the church alliance was the archbishop, so if Arthur Auerbach didn't say anything, then the others didn't dare to say anything.

"Maybe it's not the Mercenary Guild. Knight Captain Riley immediately said, relieving the siege of His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment.

The Pope said sarcastically: "That's not necessarily, except for the mercenary union that has not cultivated its own power in the Marvier Republic, there are their people everywhere on the continent, and the nine mercenary groups are distributed everywhere, and there must be connections and agreements between them." ”

The white-haired general Guillermo closed his eyes and said: "Mercenaries always rush to the last and flee first, these people are not trustworthy at all, they are just outlaws who sell their lives for money." ”

The leaders of the mercenary groups of the other church alliances were dissatisfied and muttered to Guillermo for an apology, but the white-haired general just continued to speak coldly: "The Battle of the River is the best illustration, we are the shield and blade of the Kingdom of Salins, and every soldier lives for honor, isn't it?"

Even the leader of the torn mercenary group, "Sharp Claw", couldn't stand it anymore, and he roared angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are the general of that country, but aren't our mercenaries rushing to the front?"

Seeing that the parliament was about to turn into a place of fierce quarrels, the deputy head of the delegation, Rassad, immediately stopped everyone to avoid making these righteous guys even more impatient. The archbishop also said that it was uncertain whether this was a crisis created by the mercenary group of the mercenary union, so he could not immediately be suspicious of His Majesty's knight mercenary group.

Fei De didn't say much, he glanced at Jennifer, the leader of the Shepherd Dog Mercenary Group, since the other party lost his subordinates, he had no status, and was arranged to sit in the tail seat, with no right to speak, all because her mercenary group was left with only one single leader. Jennifer also noticed that Feder was looking at herself, and although she wanted to participate in the leader's discussion, she was too embarrassed to speak, but her sheepdog kept sticking out his tongue as if it was about to bark twice.

"In this case, the Theoguna Empire will not be able to take care of its own back garden, let alone military support, and it is estimated that it will not even give us food," Fidel interrupted the arguing and stood up and said aloud, "Even if we have just signed an alliance agreement with them, all this will change with the changes in the south, and we cannot stay here to besiege the city any longer." ”

The others were speechless for a while, only the knight chief Kiro said in a slur manner: "If we don't besiege the city, we won't be able to deliver food to those soldiers on the front line, Viscount Hollis and those emperors who come to support will also take the opportunity to escape."

"That's right, but those soldiers of the Theoguna Empire on the front line have been abandoned, and our continued stay here will only be a waste of our army's food and combat effectiveness. ”

"Then what do you say?" Guillermo, as the spokesperson of the second prince of Amsul, must be clear about the strategy of the Papal States.

Fed looked at Jennifer again, "Return to the Holy Light City, and immediately send reinforcements to the Western Oguna Empire after the rectification." ”
