Chapter 66: Follow-up Troubles
In the end, Alan still didn't hear anything from Delia, she seemed to be determined to rot all this in her stomach, and Alan couldn't ask Roderick and the other three generals, otherwise she would have to be exposed, so although she was curious, she couldn't do anything about it.

The witnesses have not yet woken up, but in order to preemptively strike, Alan still ordered Manto to let the following start spreading the news that the Crumb Empire had betrayed the Nine Holy Spirits and taken away the Pope and the three kings by evil means.
As for Alan himself, of course, he was lying back on the bed, and now whether it is inside or outside the Holy See, the news he has received is that his holy son is seriously injured, so Alan naturally wants to play this scene well.
Alan just needs to lie in bed and act, life can be described as quite comfortable, basically just eat and sleep, sleep and eat, if it is not for the miraculous effect of divine power in all aspects, when Alan "recovers" the day, he will definitely gain a lot of weight, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
But this world is like this, some people are idle to death, and some people are so busy that they are about to cry, and needless to say, this person must be the great priest Manto, who is dedicated to his post and loves his work.
In terms of military affairs, there was nothing for Manto to worry about, and Thor, Hansade, and Uriah were enough to manage all the armies in the Holy City, but it was not these armies that bothered Manto, but those outside the city.
Three full days have passed since the incident, and as far as the news Manto has gotten is concerned, the three Rodericks still have no intention of waking up, and the answer they get when they ask Delia is only a meaningless answer like "it's almost there".
Manto didn't know how many days he had agreed with his subordinates before leaving, but it wouldn't be too long, three or five days would be the sky, and now he was at the critical point of time.
"How's it going?"
Manto stood far outside the camp, at this time he could vaguely feel the uneasy atmosphere condensed above this camp, like the oppressive atmosphere before the rainstorm, dark clouds covered the sky, but it was quiet and terrible, everyone knew that after a thunderclap there would be a heavy rain down, but when the thunder sounded, no one could predict.
"Great priest, the movement between the camps has become more frequent, and in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, we have not hindered it. ”
"Well, that's good. ”
Manto praised it, but there was no joy in his tone, what he hoped most now was that the three of them would wake up quickly, and it would be good to wake up only one of them.
It's not that I haven't thought about telling the soldiers of the four countries about "what happened", but Manto is very clear, and the chances of people believing it are so slim, the seeds of distrust have been buried in the soil before, and now they are about to take root and sprout, and they are watering and fertilizing it at this time, isn't it asking for trouble?
He thought of many methods, such as asking them to send someone to visit his general, or to send the three back to the camp, but in the end they were all vetoed by Manto, and he was not sure what the consequences would be, Manto preferred to wait for the moment when the three of them woke up.
"Continue to keep a close eye on the movements, and also, be ready for battle. ”
"Great priest, will there really be a fight, this ......"
In order to show his sincerity, Manto has ordered the withdrawal of many troops, which is a big reason why the Four-Nation Alliance has not moved yet. What remained here now was just an ordinary garrison in the Holy City, and the captain was not a professional soldier, and after hearing Manto's words, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Don't worry, even if you want to fight, you won't be allowed to rush up. ”
Manto shook his head and comforted, of course he wouldn't tell the captain that no matter whether Roderick woke up in time or not, the battle would definitely happen.
If they don't wake up, then there is no need to say more, no matter whether the armies of the four countries want to go or fight, they will inevitably clash with the Holy See, and at that point, Manto can only find a way to resolve it as much as possible.
But if Roderick and the others woke up, it would be even more impossible to be peaceful, Manto didn't believe that these three would be reconciled to the army of the Kram Empire, and it was inevitable that the Holy See would wipe out this elite army of Kram on the edge of Augsg City.
The captain of the garrison suddenly blushed on his face, puffed up his chest and said to Manto: "What does this mean by the Great Priest, if there is a real battle, we will not run away!"
The members of these garrisons are basically residents of Augsg, and it is also the status that many believers want to obtain, although they also participate in some military training, but most of their actual role is equivalent to the police, helping to maintain law and order in the holy city.
And the security of the Holy City is also a mainland civilization, so this job can be described as quite easy, as long as it is not at some existential crisis, Manto will definitely not let such a team go to the battlefield.
But this should not be said, although the original intention was not to let the garrison have casualties, but in the ears of this captain, it seems to say that they intend to escape!
To the ears of these pious people, this was no different from accusing them of not being religious, and if it hadn't come out of Manto's mouth, the captain's reaction would not have been the way it is now.
Someone else, I wonder if a white glove has been thrown on the ground at this time, the meaning is very simple, you insult my faith, then there is nothing to say, duel!
Manto sighed in his heart, he also knew that his words might have touched the other party's sensitive nerves, don't look at Manto is the great priest of the Brilliant Holy Sect, but he is also very helpless about this kind of too much believer.
It was obviously impossible for a man in the Holy See to criticize such behavior, but Manto also discouraged it, an idea that was also derived from Edward IV, a fanatical believer who could well become an instrument of some people's private ambitions.
"Ahem, I didn't mean that, but it's not that yet. Until then, the Holy See will naturally do its best to protect its people from harm. ”
"The Great Priest ......"
"Uh, what's this for?"
Manto looked at the other party's eyes, and suddenly felt a little furious in his heart, what is this?
"In such a time of crisis for the Holy See, the Nine Holy Spirits still care about the safety of us, what a god of love. ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Manto was suddenly choked and coughed, he didn't understand why the Holy See was in a moment of crisis, and what kind of news was spread by someone.
"Wait, why is the Holy See in danger, it's good now. ”
The captain of the garrison looked at Manto with a look that said "Don't lie to me", and said: "What else is there to hide from the Grand Priest, everyone knows the news of the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Pope and the assassination of His Royal Highness the Holy Son, but I think that the Nine Holy Spirits will definitely bless His Highness the Pope to return safely, and His Royal Highness the Holy Son is safe, right." ”
Hearing this, the first thought that popped into Manto's heart was "I don't know if His Highness the Pope will be able to come back, but I know that His Highness the Holy Son must be unharmed, not only unharmed, but also very well!"
