Chapter 0516: Restless Pope
The Holy Cult's advance was hindered, and Anrida looked dejected when she heard this. "Damn, those green-skinned idiots, why are they involved in this war, what benefits do they get. ”
He asks the Shadow for help, but the Shadow says there is nothing he can do. "The Orcs Storm Summoner come from their ancestors and possess the power of the earth rivaled that of the dragons' breath. ”
When the victory reached the kingdom's capital, the inhabitants took to the streets to celebrate, and His Majesty's bad mood finally improved, and he even began to reflect on his prejudice against the orcs.
"Look, their warriors are brave enough to know how to fight evil, and we should help them enough, and not always be prejudiced against them. His Majesty said this to his subjects.
At the same time, negotiations in the East had begun, and the Imperial Palace of the East was more majestic and solemn than any other royal palace, and it was a great journey to enter the palace with a chamberlain, and after three hours of marching within the high walls of the palace, he finally saw the most majestic palace.
"Damn, I've got a bit of a problem with my legs, I've never walked this long before. The old man, who was the translator, gasped, beat his fists on his legs and complained, "Doesn't it be that His Majesty the Emperor of the East never needs to go out when he lives here?"
"I think so, there is everything here, countless servants are at his disposal, and if there are no accidents, His Majesty the Emperor of the East should stay here forever. "Tang Ning has seen too many peculiarities, the service of the East is completely different from theirs, although he has seen it from Zheng Shi's place, but because Zheng Shi's sailing at sea, the crew has changed into a more convenient Western sailor's suit.
A long and loud voice resounded in the square in front of the main hall, and the old man said excitedly: "His Majesty the Emperor let us in." ”
There were quite a few people standing in the main hall, dressed in oriental specialties, and they were officials here, and according to local custom, they were required to kneel and bow, but Tang Ning refused and took out a letter of authorization from the king of the Eternal Kingdom.
The power of attorney was handed to His Majesty the Emperor, who was dressed in golden silk, and the officials looked at this young man from a foreign country like a monster, and it was not surprising that if someone here went to the Eternal Continent dressed in the traditional service of the East, they would also be watched by those from the West.
The officials whispered, and soon after, His Majesty the Emperor of the East asked questions, and the old man translated. "Your Emperor wants to empower you to do whatever you want. ”
"Our Imperial Majesty is in some trouble and needs your troops to send reinforcements. "Downing gets straight to the point, the culture is different, and there is no need to play some tricks on the language.
His Majesty the Emperor and the officials let out a mocking laugh, and one of the officials clasped his hands together and gestured to Downing, which was probably Eastern etiquette. The old man translated. "Why should we get involved in someone else's war. ”
"Because of the interests. Downing explained to the questioning officer. "If we can help our Emperor to retain power, there will be a steady stream of gold and goods coming from there. ”
His Majesty the Emperor was obviously not very interested in this, and his expression was a little proud. "There is nothing lacking in the East, you have what you have here, and you don't need to turn to others for help. ”
"Of course, the territory of the East is vast enough, but I don't think anyone would refuse to have a large amount of gold transported here, a great fortune, and only need your troops to send troops. Downing patted the other horse's horse at the right time.
But His Majesty the Emperor was obviously not satisfied, and put forward even harsher conditions. "Your king must be loyal to me and become my subject, and this is my condition for helping you. ”
Become a subject of the other party, if it was that His Majesty the King, he would have screamed hysterically when he heard such news, but at this moment he had given all the negotiating power to himself, Tangning didn't care if the other party's power would be provoked, and defeating the Holy See was the only goal.
"No problem, our Imperial Majesty is willing to swear allegiance to you. Tang Ning agreed without hesitation. "But you have to send the best troops. ”
The negotiations eventually reached an agreement on the betrayal of the king, and he had to hurry back to the East, where he would wait for reinforcements from the East, and the Holy See would not have expected the existence of such a mysterious force.
I've been in the harbor long enough, desperate to get news of Downing's return, those troops from the far east have temporarily stopped attacking, and there is no problem with the safety of these port cities for the time being, but waiting is an ordeal, especially for Taylor, business is wrong, she doesn't have anything to be nostalgic for here.
And the mood of the residents here has gradually stabilized, the port city is no longer as chaotic as it was at the beginning, when dusk comes, it means that no ships will leave the port, and the wind and waves on the sea at night are unpredictable, so at this time the ships will generally rest in the harbor.
Taylor was disappointed and about to leave the harbor, hoping to see the young man returning from here tomorrow morning, and saw a familiar figure as he walked through the harbor.
She ran over and excitedly said, "Cybertron, Anna, you're here. ”
Cybertron and Anna leave the Wishing Fountain of Sola and go to the port, intending to leave the port on a freighter and return to the Eternal Kingdom, as the Paladin said, he has to help the young man solve the problems about the Holy See as soon as possible before he can go to Heaven.
But here they had some trouble, and now in the evening the ships were all stopped, and they would not leave the port, at least until early to-morrow morning, and the worst of all was that the ships were full, and even the basement warehouses could not be seated, and they had already asked many ships, and they had all touched nails.
Although the situation has stabilized a bit recently, there is no guarantee that the invaders from the far east will not change their minds and suddenly attack this place, so there are still some people who have fled, taking up all the places where the ship can sit, but now Cybertron must return to the Eternal Continent as soon as possible.
Nothing had progressed with the owner of the freighter, and now that the girl's voice was heard, he looked back and saw Taylor, who was here, meaning that the young man should be here.
Anna and Taylor hugged each other affectionately and asked each other about the recent situation, Taylor wondered, "Why are you here?"
Cybertron shrugged. "I'll have to ask your sweetheart. ”
Taylor was a little embarrassed, this must have been Downing's bad idea to trick the paladin here. "Well, just because I didn't ask anything, it's great to see you here. ”
Cybertron looked around. "He doesn't have to hide from me, let him come out, I have no ill will towards him, I know that he deceived me, now I just want to help him quickly finish the matter of the Holy See and send me to heaven. "The paladin's mood was quite calm, and there was no sense of anger.
"He's not here. Taylor told about Downing.
Looking for a helper to deal with the Holy See, and the most eastern army, Cybertron knew Downing's intentions and teased, "He is more fit to be a king than anyone else." ”
"I think it should be soon, he'll be back soon. Taylor was finally in a better mood. "With you with me, at least the waiting time is not so boring. ”
The Holy Army's progress was hampered, and the Orcs and Storm Summoners made the advance extremely slow, which made Anrida a little worried, and if progress could not be made in a short period of time, the believers who had turned against themselves would waver, and these guys were only interested in the immediate benefits.
What worries him the most is military spending, faith alone cannot make those believers who join the army die to serve the Holy See, and the families of those believers need to live, this part is usually provided by the Holy See, if the family members cannot get the guarantee of life, the soldier's military spirit will be greatly affected.
But now that the king no longer gives the necessities of life, the Holy See has no continuous source of income, the cost of money in the war is astronomical, and the coffers are emptying day by day, so the war must have a result as soon as possible.
In the dark chamber, Anruida knelt in front of the wall. "Great Lord of Darkness, the war is in trouble, you need to help me, our funds won't last long. ”
Dark shadows appeared on the calm walls, and a thick black fog drifted everywhere, enveloping the chamber, and the sound of emptiness lingered in the mist. "Anruida, don't worry, I'll have a way. ”
"But we won't be able to hold out for long, maybe a month, maybe only half a month, and after half a month we won't have any money in our coffers, you know that war is usually very expensive for money. Anruida cried and looked depressed.
"Calm down, Anrida, don't always whine like a sissy, you have to stabilize the morale of the army and tell them that if they win this war, they will have endless wealth. The shadow was impatient, and his tone became a little harsh.
Anruida glanced up, her body shrinking back slightly. "Those idiots don't see the future, they only see the immediate benefits, these words don't help them, we have to come up with something practical, if you can provide gold, I don't think there will be any problems with this. ”
"Magic can't make real gold, and I'm not the creator. Half of the black shadow's body poked out of the wall, and its hideous and terrifying face approached Anrida. "I have supported you enough, and if the Holy See is so stupid and weak that it cannot satisfy even a worldly war, then I will not hesitate to abandon you. ”
Anruida was dissatisfied, and at this time the other party seemed to start shirking responsibility, but his face was still respectful and his head was bowed. "My king, if you can get your army to join the Holy Cult, maybe the tide of the war will soon change, and we will soon be victorious, and we don't need those idiots at all. ”
"I have disrupted my plans and used some dark magic to help you, which may attract the attention of Heaven and Hell, it is quite dangerous, if I expose my army in advance, Heaven and Hell will never sit idly by, and the consequences will not be borne by you and me, my army can only be used against Heaven and Hell. The dark shadow explained a little irritated, and the black fog flowed faster in the secret room. "Of course, I'll think of a way, don't worry, leave here now, go back to your position, and encourage your army. ”
Now the voice of the black shadow has some threats, if it continues to entangle, not only will it not get any help, but it may even take its own life, the attitude of the black shadow is changeable, and he can't take risks, Anruida got up and saluted and left.
