Chapter Seventy-Two: The Problem of Cooperation?
Seeing that Manto was silent, Roderick understood after a little thought, although this Manto Grand Priest seems to be the person with the highest status in the Holy See now, he can't do what he wants, he always has to take care of all aspects of his thoughts, but fortunately, Roderick doesn't have any other ideas.

"Don't get me wrong, Grand Priest Manto, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know if some of the things I talk to you about now can be approved by the Holy See?"
Manto thought for a moment, then shook his head, but after seeing Roderick's disappointed expression, he added: "It's not impossible, it's just that I can't promise anything, and in this situation, all decisions can only be made after deliberation." ”
It can really be described as a turning point, Roderick originally thought that the Pope was missing, and the Holy See didn't even have a person who could call the shots when the Holy Son was in a coma, although this situation was almost impossible to happen, but if the Holy See was really like this, then Roderick could only accept it.
It's better to negotiate than to make a decision at all, and even if it takes a little time, you can always get things done, and this is what Roderick values most at this time.
"High Priest Manto, I would like to talk to you about the issue of the Cram Empire's army. ”
"Oh?"
Manto was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be surprised on the surface, tilting his head slightly to one side and making a posture of listening attentively.
Of course, Roderick would not believe that the Grand Priest of Manto had not thought about how to deal with the Imperial Army of Crumb, in fact, Roderick even believed that Manto already had a plan to deal with the armies of the four countries at the same time, but now Manto wanted to pretend, and Roderick went with him.
"I don't know if Cram's army has also become demons, but I guess Archbishop Manto is not willing to let them stay on the edge of the Holy City anyway. ”
Roderick nodded Manto's thoughts very frankly, and then leaned back, waiting to watch Manto's reaction, but unfortunately, as a Grand Priest of the Holy See, Manto's skills were still enough, at least in front of an outsider like Roderick, he didn't show a little thought.
"If they are willing to stay, the Holy See has no opinion, if there is really any plan, then the Holy See will not be afraid of this small army, and it is only a matter of a moment if it wants to deal with them. ”
"High priest Manto, this is not interesting, can't we be more open?"
It would have been a lot of fun if he had been honest, and he wouldn't have faced just one Crumb army now, but that was just a passing thought in Manto's mind, and he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say such a thing.
"What? Is General Roderick doubting what I said, or is the General actually doubting the strength of the Holy See?"
Roderick didn't understand Manto's behavior, why did he get involved with himself?It stands to reason that at this time, shouldn't he try to unite all forces against the other Cram Empire?
Judging from the situation in the conference room, the Holy See does not have the strength to completely override the other party, especially the kind of power that does not belong to the mortal world, and Roderick gradually figured out that the Holy Son he saw that day was probably not the Holy Son himself, and it was very likely that he was descended by the gods.
Combined with the current news of "the injury of the Holy Son", Roderick naturally thinks that the Holy See should not be too sure, and Manto is naturally bluffing.
I have to say that Roderick's inference did not have any major mistakes, but unfortunately the biggest mistake was that the evidence for the inference was not valid, which means that all the judgments made by Roderick were deduced from false information, and naturally could not be the correct answer.
In Manto's opinion, his performance is quite normal. Even if he knew that Crumb and the demons were colluding, Manto didn't attach too much importance to this, as long as he could unite the other three countries to push Crumb to the opposite side of the continent, everything would be resolved, this was Manto's idea.
Since you want to unite, you must have a leader, although the Holy See is a natural choice, but in the case of the Pope's disappearance and Allen's feigned injury, the Holy See may not be able to achieve absolute leadership.
It is for this reason that although Manto has roughly understood what Roderick means, he is still here to talk about him, just to let Roderick take the initiative to ask for it and take over the power of the leadership.
It's just that Roderick didn't want to waste too much time on this, so he didn't pay attention to Manto's question and went straight to the point.
"That's it, I hope that the Holy See can help us eliminate Cram's army together, and after our Hiss Empire knows the news, we will definitely use troops against the Crumb Empire, which also needs the support of the Holy See. ”
Roderick is so good, of course Manto will not continue to shirk, this is the situation he wants, unless he is stupid, he will continue to waste precious time.
"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but we have to discuss it with the others, and we have to wait until the two generals are sober before we can arrange everything, right?"
Roderick nodded slightly, although he was anxious, but he also knew that it was already the limit to be able to temporarily stabilize the two armies with a letter of his own, and it was absolutely impossible for them to attack the Kram army together, and the only thing he could do was to wait for the two to wake up.
"Ah, it's boring!"
Alan suddenly sat up from the bed and looked up to the sky and yelled, but unfortunately he didn't summon Elaine, in fact, this kind of thing has happened more than once, and Elaine also knows that Eren doesn't have anything, it's just out of boredom, and of course he won't waste his working time.
"Hey......"
Alan sighed, and wanted Elaine to take those documents for her own review, but the thought of the height of the stack dispelled the idea in an instant.
"What's wrong with you again?"
"Hey, you're back, what's wrong with Roderick?"
Alan didn't expect Delia to return to the room after such a while, a little strange, such a short time is just enough for a round trip.
"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that Roderick is waking up. ”
The first thing Delia did when she entered the room was to sit down in a chair, and it seemed that her life in the past few days had made her a little lazy.
"Oh, waking up...... Wake up!"
Some of the hindsight Alan suddenly realized what the news that Delia brought back was, this is not just that Roderick woke up, this is the most important eyewitness to wake up!
It's like a case pursued by the police, there are no clues, and the only eyewitness is still in a coma, and once he hears the news that the eyewitness has awakened, the ecstasy of the person in charge of the case can be imagined.
Even if Alan wasn't that serious, the excitement wouldn't be much different.
