Chapter 352: Silent Confrontation
Just as the four demigods found out, far away in the church in the capital of the Southern Burlingame Empire, Mervyn slowly stood up.
"Your Excellency, good news from the north," a man in a blue robe came running quickly and bowed to Mervyn.
Mervyn looked at the man and spat out a word at him: "Read"
"The Northern Legion is in full swing, and the vanguard has already arrived outside the city of Shengjia in the Cloud Diocese," the man said respectfully to Mo Wen, a look of envy in his eyes.
Mervyn Jervis is an enigmatic man whose appearance has caused a huge personnel change in the Church of the Water God, and at the same time has made a great gift to His Majesty the Water God.
The emperor can not know the Pope, he can not know His Majesty, but there is no one who does not know the bishop.
It is said that this man had been summoned by His Majesty the Water God not long ago, and as for what they were talking about, no one knew or dared to inquire about it.
The only thing that can be known is that since the archbishop came out of the kingdom of God on earth under the crown, the Church of the Water God has undergone a series of personnel changes. The Archbishop of the North was sent to the stake, and numerous clergy of the Northern diocese almost found a bloodbath. And this secret agent of the enemy country who went in was still unidentified, and came out as a high-ranking archbishop of the shepherding side.
This series of changes obviously shrouded Mervyn in a veil of mystery. But Mervyn's heart is as translucent as a mirror, and all of this is really just a string of fog.
Burlingame was a beautiful demigod of the water system, and her woman's city was as wide as the sea.
But under this vastness, there are countless dangers.
She successfully diverted her attention with the blood of tens of thousands of clergy in the northern diocese, and no one could have known, in just a few days. This beautiful demigod has begun to embark on a path of enlightenment to the priesthood of life.
The man looked at Mervyn, who was contemplating, and said to him: "Your Excellency, the most brilliant pearl of the Gainesborer Empire is finally in your pocket."
"No, this belongs to His Majesty and the Burlingame Empire," Mervyn said to the man.
The man hurriedly showed a pious gaze and replied to Merwen: "You are right, this is the pearl that belongs to our Perigram Empire and the crown of our lord water god."
"Your Excellency, the Second Prince has prepared a grand celebration dinner for this purpose, and I would like to invite you to it," the man said to Mo Wen with an expectant face.
Mervyn shook his head: "You refuse it for me"
"This ......" the man looked embarrassed: "The second prince is the most popular candidate for the crown prince, and His Excellency the archbishop's refusal may reflect a change in the relationship between the northern diocese and the northern legion."
"What change?" Mervyn said to the man, his tone a little displeased: "Do you think that this time, the Northern Legion can really completely occupy the Rain and Fog Diocese?"
Hearing Mervin's words, the man replied without hesitation: "Isn't it?Now that the southern legion of the Gainesborough Empire has been crippled, the rest of the Cloud Sect except for the Holy City has fallen into the hands of our empire."
"My subordinates can't figure out what else the Gainesboro Empire can take back the Cloud Parish," the man said to Mervyn.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Mervyn's mouth, but it didn't show it: "If things are really that simple, how could the Cloud Mist Diocese fall into the hands of the Empire until now?"
"Jeremiah McNamara, I'm sure your clever brain will figure it out," Mervyn said slowly to the man.
Jeremiah was shocked in his heart, and said quickly to Mervyn: "Could it be that Your Excellency the Archbishop, do you think that something will happen to the city of Shengga?"
"I don't know, I just feel like the Northern Legion is going too well," Mervyn replied to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah quickly analyzed in his heart: "If it is really the same as His Excellency the Archbishop guessed, then it is very likely that the Northern Legion will suffer a big loss outside the city of Shengga"
"Once the Northern Legion is defeated in Shenggar City, it will affect the second prince in the imperial capital, and it is really difficult for us to contact it now," Jeremiah said to Merwen.
Looking at Jeremia's heavy expression, Mervyn diverted the topic from him: "The success of the Northern Army makes me feel uneasy, you immediately find a way to get the latest military information"
"If the Northern Army loses, report it as quickly as possible, I don't want the Northern Diocese to be caught in the flames of war," Mervyn commanded Jeremiah.
Jeremiah saluted Mervyn: "Yes"
Then he walked in the direction he had turned around.
Looking at Jeremiah in the distance, Mervyn fell into deep thought.
If one day, when the god of fire discovers that the priesthood of salvation and the god of earth have an essential conflict, I don't know what kind of expression he will have. At that time, in addition, the water god found that there was a conflict between the life priesthood and the wood god, and there would be a chaotic battle along the river.
Thinking about it, Merwen thought of the task assigned by the goddess of conspiracy, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. His Majesty threw down such a big weight and revealed the priesthood of life, but it was not for his own enjoyment.
It is necessary to establish a thorough foundation as an archbishop. Influence the decisions of the Burlingame Empire and the Church of the Water God in order to achieve the expected benefits.
The shadow of intrigue has loomed over this world, and the rest is up to Armand to decide, and hopefully he will seize this God-given opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Burlingamem Empire.
Coupled with their own fueling behind the scenes, even if they don't want to break out into a full-scale war, they can't help it.
"Your Excellency the Archbishop," Jeremiah hastily came running at this moment and shouted at Mervyn.
Listening to Jeremia's voice, Mervyn looked over.
Without waiting for Mervyn to speak, Jeremiah hurriedly said loudly: "Just now, there was an urgent report, and the Vulcan Church and Bishop Armand of the Cloud Diocese suddenly understood the true meaning of salvation. blessed by the Lord of Redemption and given great power"
"Due to the lack of high-end forces, the vanguard of the Northern Army has suffered a heavy defeat and has now retreated ten miles," Jeremiah said loudly to Mervyn.
Mervyn combed through the news and looked at Jeremiah with a sad face: "Hey"
"This is really sad news," Morvin faked his sigh.
Looking at Mervyn's expression, Jeremiah was shocked in his heart, and he also showed a sad look: "Your Excellency, we have to prepare for the worst now"
"I'll go meet the Pope now, and I'll return to the northern diocese overnight," Mervin commanded Jeremiah.
Jeremiah replied loudly to Mervyn: "Yes, my subordinates will go to prepare for the return"
After speaking, without waiting for Mervyn to leave, he left quickly.
Mervyn took a deep breath in his heart, the arrow had left the string, and the next thing was to see the tacit understanding between them.
