A group of people sat together and discussed for a while, but they couldn't find any clue at all, mainly because there was so little news, just a few words, no details at all, how to deduce the future development of events? Of course, this is not to blame Cassano's intelligence system is too incompetent, in fact, now Senate's ruling area has completely begun to implement a cold-blooded military management system, in the villages and towns under his control, the whole family is executed, and the whole village will be titheed and killed by one out of ten people, and once an outsider is found, he will be executed immediately.

Senat's rule cannot last at all, but it can produce extraordinary effects in a short period of time, and the appearance of the undead legion has greatly restrained the power of the imperial capital, making the situation on the mainland fall into a stalemate stage: the Holy Alliance alliance does not have absolute certainty to start a decisive battle against the undead legion, and the undead legion does not desperately expand its own scale so that the Holy Alliance desperately attacked, and when they were holding each other, Senat was caught in the middle just to get some respite.

Compared with a few years ago, the imperial capital was exhausted under the attack of Senat and other three sides, I have to say that everyone's situation has just changed positions now, the orcs have fled north, the Clay tribe has fled west, Senat is only left with respite, and the imperial capital is invincible, which is also the reason why the undead army suddenly intervened in the continent, because once the imperial capital reunites the continent, the demigod lich will have to wait for hundreds of years in the hope that another better opportunity will appear.

Seeing that the discussion did not lead to anything, Ryan sighed, he now knew why Red's mood was so decadent, it was not only a person's self-confidence that had been hit, but even a self-defeat after feeling sorry for the teacher Ibel's instructions. For this ending, everyone present was naturally very dissatisfied, but no one had a better solution, so the entire council hall fell silent.

Suddenly, Sophie's voice broke the silence: "Master Lane, why don't you let me go to Seke City, with my strength, I may be able to gain a foothold over there! If I can gather important information, I will definitely be in the ......"

"No need!" Ryan simply rejected Sophie's proposal, and used a very lame reason: "The imperial capital will send people to do these things, we don't need to waste our energy on this." ”

"But......" Sophie was about to argue a few words, but saw Freya make a gesture towards her, so Sophie closed her mouth and fell silent. And Freya spoke slowly: "Regarding the matter of collecting intelligence on the enemy side, I think the imperial capital side will indeed do a better job than us, so it is better to do what Ryan wants!

"Trouble?" Ryan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but thinking that Freya had inherited the memories of the elven queens of the past generations, and was enough to be his own teacher in this regard, he humbly asked, "What is the impact on the current situation?

"I have to say, Senat is a hero!" Freya began with this sentence and began to state her opinion: "Victor hates nobles, Orlando is limited by his beliefs, and Faras's weakness is you, but your weakness is all the people around him!

Such a figure may not be the supreme ruler of this continent in the history of mankind, but he must be a powerful ruler, standing at the pinnacle of power and looking down on everything, trying to make everything in front of him change according to his will, but he doesn't know that even the supreme gods can't do this at all, because the gods also have to abide by the rules of a plane, at least they won't let their true bodies come here. ”

"So far, Senat's weakness is his identity, anyway, he was once a member of the Holy Alliance Empire, and after he turned his back on this empire, he also took on the title of rebel, which was very bad for the ambitious Sennat, but there was no way to change it for a while. ”

"Now that Senat has begun to openly support Ferdinand of the Church of Light, if my guess is correct, he probably wants to cause a split within the Church of Light, one of the solid cornerstones of the Holy Alliance's empire. If the Church of Light splits, the strength of the empire will be greatly weakened, which is also very good news for the army of the undead. If this plan can succeed, Senat will fully support the forces of the Church of Light that are leaning towards him, and at the same time try to suppress the forces that are leaning towards the imperial capital. ”

"But, Freya, why did Senat attract those cardinals? he was now at an absolute disadvantage, and with the Legion of the Undead behind him, I can't think of anything that could attract the followers of the gods to the side of Sennat, who was inclined to the Legion of the Dead!" Ryan said.

"Yes, maybe that's why Red is so decadent, because he has probably guessed Senate's methods, but he is powerless to change all this!" Freya sighed and slowly said the answer: "Don't forget, a long time ago, well, before Alexander's Third Reich, the highest authority on the continent was not a certain honorable monarch, but His Majesty the Pope of the Church of Light!" However, when Andrew forcibly unified most of the continent by force, the power of the Church of Light began to slowly weaken, and the last Pope Franz II came from the Holy See to the coronation ceremony of King Alexander under the escort of Andrew's force, and personally brought Andrew's Bauhinia tiara, a symbol of power!"

"Ahh

Alexander's coronation also led to the decline of theocracy in this plane, and after the death of the last Pope Franz II, at the behest of Andrew, a suitable successor was not elected, and he could only temporarily assume this position in the name of archbishop, which is the origin of the current position of archbishop. ”

"Therefore, the fall of Alexander's Third Reich may not only have the figure of the undead legion, maybe the Church of Light also prayed during the period, right? Otherwise, how could that great lich Nicholas appear by Andrew's side without being reversed into a human and become his chief magician? Not to mention Catherine's transformation and the sudden severance of the entire Andrew's bloodline!"

After Freya said this in one breath, she found that except for Ryan, everyone else was completely stunned, this kind of old secrecy was only afraid that it had been completely cut off in the human world, but Freya, who had the memories of the elf queens of the past, still knew it clearly, and Ryan already knew a lot about Andrew and Catherine's past, so such news was not very sudden for him, and through Freya's description, Ryan suddenly guessed the best means that Senat used to win over the Church of Light.

"Re-establish the Pope?" Ryan slowly spat out these four words, and at the same time awakened the others present.

"That's right, compared to restoring the honor of the Church of Light in the most prosperous period of this continent, a mere rebel leader, and even the figure of the undead legion that has been loomed behind him is nothing at all, and even these clergy will comfort themselves like this, after cooperating with these heretics and re-establishing the Pope, the Church of Light can have more power, and can also deal with the undead legion in turn, isn't it?"

After listening to Freya's words, Ryan thought about it sideways, and suddenly added: "In fact, neither Senate nor the Legion of the Undead can personally support a force that they can't control, so I think this new pope must only be a puppet, but it can be extremely confusing. As you said just now, the coronation of kings in the past can only be officially recognized with the approval of the church, and now that Senat has coerced the Pope to crown himself, in a sense, he is no longer a rebel leader, but an imperial king who can be equal to the Holy Alliance Empire!"

"Yes, Red must already know this, but he can't do anything now, because he knows very well how attractive the position of Pope is to those cardinals, and the Imperial Capital will never agree to such a request. Freya became the protagonist of tonight's council room, and she pointed out sharply: "The Church of Light, which has already had cracks inside, coupled with the temptation of huge external interests, except for a very few people who really see everything clearly, I am afraid that the vast majority of the members of the Church of Light will fall to Senate's side,"

"Ryan, this is completely a life-and-death juncture for the Church of Light, but at this time, Red has no way to prove the legitimacy of his power, and the only thing he can do is to be a bystander! The crisis of power is probably the biggest reason for Red's current decadence. ”
