The communication between smart people and smart people sometimes doesn't even require words, just a movement, even a look.

In addition to wanting the emperor of the Byron Empire to be painful, the main purpose of Ren's coming to the Byron Empire was to meet the Pope, which was also his only chance.

If it's at home, let alone that he's going to see the Pope, as long as he heads in the direction of Sunset City, I'm afraid Empress Pars will be restless.

The foundation of the church is so deep that you can't see the bottom.

There have been countless dynasties in history, and there are no immortal empires, but there are immortal religions. As the church with the longest history, even dating back to the mythological age of the gods, no one knows how many things are hidden. Yes, under the influence of the low tide period, all professions have been severely weakened, but the weakening does not mean that it is cut with a knife, there is still some power.

It's like battle energy, it's like mana, it's like holy power!

The number of high-level professionals in a profession is not what is mysterious, but the audience of people. Why are there still many high-level professionals among the swordsmen and knights in the Orlando Empire? It is not because the accumulation and advancement of these two professions is easier than other professions, nor is it that the geniuses with talent have chosen swordsmen and knights instead of becoming a mysterious magician or alchemist, but a matter of base.

The Orlando Empire's registered battle qi cultivators, including swordsmen and knights, numbered more than two million. Among them, many people have been hovering in the top three levels all their lives, and there is no possibility of promotion until they die, but there are also some people who have gained more strength and have been promoted to high-level professionals. Looking at magicians on the other hand, the number of registered magicians in the entire empire is not even 100,000, so why can there be more high-level professionals than swordsmen and knights?

Everyone is a genius out of a hundred people, and they can climb to the sixth or seventh level in one breath, and one has a foundation of two million, and it is easy for twenty thousand high-level professionals to appear. One has less than 100,000 people, and it is lucky to have seven or eight hundred.

So among the many professions, which profession has the most people?

There is no doubt about this, and that is the believer. Many people don't think of believers as professionals, but believers are professionals. When believers believe in the so-called God of the Father and God of Light, they step into the realm of professionals. Many people may not be able to convert from believers to apostles, but of all the occupations in the entire empire, apostles are the most numerous.

Didn't you see that the Knights Templar and the Templar Order casually put together tens of thousands of armed forces to make the Orlando family worry for the past three hundred and seventy-five years?

No matter how much the empire suppressed the church, it never used force, because the imperial magnates knew this very well, and once they used force, they gave the church the opportunity to use force. They wouldn't have put their faces out of the church and slapped them a few times!

If Wren wants to see the Pope, he must not know that if a golden nobleman hooks up with the Church, no matter how much Empress Pars indulges Wren, she must first settle one of the two sides before she can stabilize the current situation in the Empire.

Wren, or the Church, who is better to be destroyed?

Undoubtedly, it's Wren!

Therefore, in order to fight for the opportunity to meet with the Pope, Wren did not hesitate to go into danger and did not hesitate to pile up an opportunity with his human life.

And he believed that there would be absolutely anyone in the elite mission who could see his plan, and it was true, that both sides were in an orderly dialogue that led them to a common place.

Of course, there are a lot of smart people, and it is impossible for Wren to expect that there will not be a smart person in the entire Byron Empire, that is unrealistic, if this is the case, the Orlando family would have already moved eastward, instead of passive defense, so he has another arrangement.

In the blink of an eye, the three-day march had passed, and there seemed to be something suffocating in the air, and the oppressive feeling made it breathless. Five kilometers from the city of Nedea, Wren brought the team to a halt.

Further on, the more people there are, the more dangerous it is, and perhaps the wise people in the Byron Empire have already set a trap and are waiting for him or the Church's mission to crash into it, so the more critical it is, the more we must not rush and panic.

"From here, you go north. Wren took out the map he had with him and spread it out, their location was located in the north-west of the Byron Empire. The Byronic Empire's sphere of influence was not divided into provinces as in the Orlando Empire, but by the territories of various races and nobles. The place where they are now is the former royal court of Nidea, and there are dozens of large and small territories around them.

Wren pressed his hand on the Rite Territory in the north of the Byron Empire, "This is close to the Salme Mountains, I have arranged for the black barbarians in the forest near here, you go and join them first." ”

The generals and the captain of the thousand-man team raised their heads and looked at Wren in astonishment, and asked almost in unison, "Lord Wren, aren't you going?"

Wren shook his head, "I have other things to do, but it's inconvenient to have too many people, and besides, I'm not without the ability to protect myself, so there's no need to worry about this." As he said this, the ground behind him suddenly shook, and many soldiers stood up one after another, pressing their hands on the hilt of their swords. In the next second, a white-gold thorn broke through the ground, as thick as a bucket and more than ten meters high, swaying in the wind, stretching its body.

"It's a thorn!"

A soldier exclaimed in a low voice, this was also the first time that Wren had used his natural ability in front of these people, and the impact on these people was quite large. In the eyes of many people, Wren is unable to practice martial arts and magic, and is the kind of "waste wood" with no combat effectiveness. But no one thought that Wren actually had this kind of ability that seemed to be very powerful, which was simply shocking.

After the shock, there was no surprise and panic left, only a sense of honor, it was a platinum thorn, and the thorn was the family crest of the Wren family!

The general and the three captains of the thousand-man team glanced at each other and nodded. They are not indecisive people, they can be said to be veterans of battle, and they are well aware that in this environment, hesitation and hesitation can only bring greater danger.

Once decided, they sprang into action, and although many soldiers did not understand the purpose of doing so, it did not prevent them from following orders. Watching the team of more than 2,000 people quickly disappear into the wilderness where the grass is half a man's height, Wren became relaxed instead.

He swaggered slowly towards the gates of the city of Nidea.

The defenders of Nedea have received an order from the imperial capital, which states that Wren and the mission are likely to attack Nedea City, and hopes that the defenders of Nedea will be ready to meet the enemy and hold on as much as possible until the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial capital.

The Byron Empire was able to deliver orders so quickly, thanks to the Magic Sound Box from the Orlando Empire. Smugglers never think about what kind of forbidden goods they transported or what punishment they would receive if they were caught, they only cared about how much profit they could bring by smuggling these things. Obviously, the Magic Sound Box had enough profits for them to ignore their lives, and for the sake of those profits, they did not hesitate to take what they were not allowed to sell to other countries outside of the Orlando Empire.

As soon as the order was given, the city of Nedea immediately became nervous, and the soldiers opened the city warehouses and distributed a large amount of war supplies to the soldiers, carrying them under the city walls. A large number of soldiers also began to guard the city walls, and there were soldiers patrolling the city non-stop to deter the bastards who tried to loot when the war broke out.

The garrison commander of Nedea City was not too worried about the possible outbreak of battle, and Nedea City was different from the surrounding villages and small towns after all. As the royal court of the former sheep people, although the scale here is not large, it has everything that should be complete, and there is even a moat. It is important to know that the construction of a moat is not a simple matter, and requires a lot of preparation work as well as a more complex construction process.

The water pours into the rivers that surround the city, and this is well known. But how to stop the water from infiltrating the soil and slowly draining it is not easy to solve. There is no cement, no equipment and paint for water drainage, and people can only use the most primitive methods.

This moat can be said to prevent the possibility of large-scale enemy siege to a certain extent, and the only thing that needs to be protected is the city gate and drawbridge.

The officers defending the city were confident that they would hold the city until reinforcements arrived.

In a tavern in the city, Wren sat at a greasy table, and across from him sat a smiling old man. The old man's hair was not a single variegated color, it was as black as the darkest night, and his bright eyes were full of wisdom. The two sat opposite each other, with a pot of inferior fruit wine and two cups on the table. There was a faint blue-yellow wine in the quilt, and neither of them seemed to have drunk it.

"You want to see me. The old man was the first to speak, and they had been sitting for almost twenty minutes, and they made eye contact with each other, which made the waitress with fat buttocks and breasts inexplicable for a long time.

This old man is none other than the supreme leader of the Church, the Pope!

Wren smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table, and took a sip of the fruit wine from the Byronic Imperial Tavern. There is still the astringency in the unripe peel and the bitterness in the kernel, but there is still a hint of fragrance hidden in this bitter and astringent fruit wine. He took another sip, he liked the bitter and sweet things, such as green tea.

Taking this opportunity, he smiled and nodded, "That's true, Your Majesty Hygra!" refreshed half an hour later
