Section 672 Playing with the Pope
This made the people around him anxious, so he quickly treated him, and he was busy for a while before he woke him up.
After the Pope woke up, he remained silent, but a cardinal next to him proposed, "Your Majesty, now we have orcs in front of us, elves blocking us, and the army of the Seven Princesses chasing behind, and to the north is the elven forest full of demonic beasts, all of which are impassable. But why don't we go south? Just a few hundred miles further on, and there will be the sea, where the navy of the Marshal of West Asia will meet us, and we should be able to escape, oh no, we should be able to move back!"
"But over there is a large number of metal dragons chasing in the direction of the Angel Miserable, and if they come back, even if they only touch us even slightly, it will be bad!" the other cardinal hurriedly objected.
"Not necessarily!" said the first cardinal, "the metal dragon has a big target, we can easily find out, and when the time comes, we can just disperse, and they will have no way to take the people who are all over the mountains, right? ”
"But the question is, what will we do when we get to the beach?" said another cardinal: "The metal dragon may not have attacked the scattered personnel, but presumably they will not let go of the sea ships of the Marshal of West Asia.
"Then what do you say!" the cardinal was annoyed by the rebuttal, and had to ask his opponent a rhetorical question.
"In my opinion, the most suitable direction to break out right now is precisely the Elven Forest!" said another cardinal, mysteriously.
"Are you crazy? There were only a large number of Earth Demon Wolves there last night, and we suffered heavy losses. It can be seen how dangerous it is. There is only one way to kill if you rush in!" the cardinal and the others all looked at the guy with shocked expressions, and even the Pope turned his gaze.
"Not necessarily, I have a basis for saying this!" said another cardinal, triumphantly, "you think, since there is a demon wolf there." It means that there will be no other enemies there, unless those wolves are raised by people, otherwise they will never be with any other creatures, because the place where the wolves operate is not allowed to exist in any other magical beasts, and this of course also includes orcs and elves, right?"
"Ah, I see!" the Pope was the first to react and continued, "If that's the case, then it means that the danger in the Elven Forest comes from a pack of demon wolves, compared to the enemies in the other three directions. Whether it's the orcs, the elven alliance, or the seven princesses in the back and the metal dragon next to them. It's much more terrifying than the demon wolf. We were able to repel the attack of the Demon Wolves yesterday when we were unsuspected, and now, losing them last night is even less of our match. As long as we (3) can beat the interception force of the orcs from the Elven Forest and reach the seaside. Even if it's safe. Even if there is no warship to transport, we will have time to build a raft now, and there is absolutely no shortage of wood in the Elven Forest anyway. In addition, the strait we have to cross is very narrow, so we should be able to cross it easily. ”
"Your Majesty!" everyone immediately snapped their ass.
"Huh. The Pope then nodded a few words of approval to the guy who came up with the idea, and after fully satisfying the vanity of the other party, he decisively ordered: "The army is assembled, I will say hello to those two old friends first, and you will have to work hard, and explore the way in the Elven Forest first!"
"Yes!" everyone agreed, and went about their jobs.
A few hours later, the forces of the Holy See finally met the Orc Army. The two sides were not in a hurry to start a battle, and the orcs were in a tight position and had already lined up their formations. The humans began to form 1,500 meters in front of the orcs. Because they were all prepared in advance and were well-trained elites, they quickly lined up.
It's just that although the two sides are facing each other, their morale is obviously completely different. The Holy See is a newly defeated division, and it is still in a state of escape, plus it didn't sleep well last night and was not in good spirits, so it looks like a group of listless and tired soldiers.
On the contrary, the orcs have been here to recuperate, and they are fat and strong, plus there are more than a dozen Beamon beasts in their troops, which can really be described as murderous, and their morale is extremely high.
As soon as the Pope came out on his horse, he first noticed those Beamon, and his heart was immediately shocked, and he said that with these guys here, there was no need to fight this battle at all, and he knew that he would win or lose. However, the loser does not lose the battle, and now he is embarrassed to retreat, so he has to come to the front, and at the same time, there are two people on the opposite side, one is the great prophet who rides Beamon, and the other is the elven queen who rides a unicorn.
The Pope first said to the Queen: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are really still in style, is this always okay?"
"Hehe, I'm fine, thank you Your Majesty for your concern. The Elven Queen laughed. Listening to the tone, I didn't know that I thought the two of them were good friends, but in fact, they both lost the duel and almost died together. Until now, I can't wait for the other party to finish it soon.
"Yes!" the Pope smiled and nodded, and then knew to the Great Prophet, "May I ask if the Great Prophet of the Orc Empire is on the other side?"
"Hehe, I've seen His Majesty the Pope!" said the Great Prophet to the Pope first.
"Don't dare, I've seen His Majesty the Great Prophet!" the Pope hurriedly replied. At this time, but in front of the two armies, in front of the public, no one refused to lose their manners, and then they would be laughed at for a lifetime.
After the vain was finished, the Pope first got to the point, saying: "The Holy See has never had any grudges with the two of them, so I don't know why they suddenly blocked the path of our army? Aren't you afraid of causing a religious war?"
The Great Prophet laughed first and said, "Oh, your majesty, don't get me wrong, I have brought people to block the road this time, but in fact I am only being hired, and the employer has told us to defend a section of the road on his territory for ten days, during which time no one will be allowed to pass through unless the employer's permission is obtained." That's why I'm here. I'm not here just for you!"
"Hire?" the Pope was a little angry. "The Great Prophet is joking, right? This is obviously a human place, how can it be possible to invite orcs to defend it?"
"Why not?" the Great Prophet smiled, "According to the division of your human nation, this is the land of the Kingdom of Kasia, and I was entrusted by Her Royal Highness Princess Helen, the regent of Kasia. Isn't there anything wrong with coming here to defend?"
"But Helen has fallen into the enemy of God, she will be abandoned by God, abandoned by the people, and I will strip her of the title of princess and make her a prisoner. Therefore, she is not qualified to invite you here!" said the Pope angrily, "I think it is better for Your Excellency to leave!"
"Haha, it's ridiculous, Her Royal Highness Helen is well respected in the country. And as the regent princess of Kasia, even the king of Kasia has no right to deprive her of the title of princess, so why should you take it away with a word?" the Great Prophet said amusedly: "To put it mildly, if Your Majesty really has the ability to do this. You should turn around and go to the capital of Kasia and capture Her Highness Helen. ”
"Hmph!" the Pope blushed at the archprophet's prickly words, and finally forced his anger down. Because he knows that it is not possible to be tough on the orcs, and no one will be optimistic about his current situation. Therefore, he planned to tempt the orcs with benefits instead, so he turned to the Great Prophet with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, you see how burly and strong your warriors of the Orc Clan, especially with such a powerful fighting machine as Beamon, it is really a pity that you are so strongly armed and forced to live in the dangerous Warcraft Forest all year round. ”
"Hehe!" the Great Prophet smiled bitterly, "It's not that we haven't tried, but we were beaten back by the troops sent by His Majesty at that time, you won't forget it, right?"
"Ahh I really shouldn't have saved Vaana, saved the white-eyed wolf of the Seventh Princess, she turned her face and didn't recognize people!"
"Oh, is it?" said the Great Prophet, pretending to be helpless, "What a pity!" but he laughed inwardly. The heart said, "I told you to be nosy, and you deserved to be unlucky."
"Alas!" said the Pope, "let's not mention the past, I have a proposal now, I wonder if the Great Prophet is interested in hearing it?"
"Oh, His Majesty the Pope's opinion, of course I am listening!" said the Great Prophet with a feigned seriousness.
"As the Pope, I can formally form an alliance with you, and invite you to join in the Holy War to exterminate the Cult of Deities, so that you can justifiably attack the Kingdom of Vanna. With your strength, the Seventh Princess will definitely not be able to stop you. As long as I contain Long Sutian's main force here, you can easily occupy Vanna and even the Han and Kasia, and after destroying the Nature God Cult, we can even use the Liuhua River and the Elven Forest as the boundary, so that you can get the land of the three kingdoms!" The Pope said as sincerely as possible: "How about your proposal?" The Pope said in his heart, I don't believe it, you will not be tempted by such a big piece of cake?
The Great Prophet touched his beard and said with a wry smile: "It's false to say that you don't want to be tempted, it's really a good proposal!"
The Pope was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Is Your Excellency the Great Prophet going to agree?"
"No, no!" the Great Prophet pretended to be embarrassed and said, "We need to think about it, it's a big deal, and I still have to discuss it with His Majesty the Beast Emperor!"
When the Pope heard this, he was immediately a little disappointed, but he still said, "I can understand, but now you can get out of the way for us? I don't think you want your future allies to lose a lot, do you?"
"Oh, that's not going to be easy!" the Great Prophet pretended to be embarrassed, "Orcs are the most faithful, and when we were hired, we all swore an oath, I can't go back?"
When the anxious Pope heard that there was still something to follow, he immediately asked, "But what?"
"We agreed to only watch for ten days, but now it's been seven days, and His Majesty the Pope can wait for three days, and I'll definitely let you go when the time comes!" said the Great Prophet with a smile.
"Is Your Excellency playing tricks on me?" the Pope said with fire, "I can't wait for a day!" Of course, he couldn't wait for three days, because the army of the seven princesses would arrive in a day at most, how dare he wait.
"Then there is no way!" said the Great Prophet pretending to be helpless, "We actually don't want to go to war with the Holy See, but we just caught up. There is no way around that.
It's just that there are so many roads here, why do you have to go through our defensive route?" said the archprophet, squeezing his eyes at the Pope.
The Pope listened. It seemed to make sense, and he suddenly remembered the plan he had made when he came. So he nodded to the Great Prophet and thanked him, and then he turned to the Elven Queen and said, "I don't know why Your Majesty is blocking this road?"
"I don't care about this path, if you want to go, I will never stop you!" the Elven Queen assured. She doesn't stop it, it's enough to have orcs, where is she still needed?
The Pope also understood this truth, so he simply asked directly: "Then may I ask Your Majesty what is the reason for coming here this time?"
"Huh. I came here today for two purposes, one is to come to see you, an old friend, Your Majesty rarely comes to lie down. I'm going to go into the Friendship of the Landlords?" said the Elven Queen, smiling happily.
The Pope was immediately angry with her, she obviously came to see the Pope's jokes, otherwise why didn't she see her when she came, and she had to wait until the Pope fled for his life in embarrassment before she popped out and said that she wanted to see an old friend?
Although the Pope knew what the Elven Queen meant, he could not attack in the slightest. After all, everyone hasn't torn their faces yet, and they all have to maintain a certain demeanor. So he had to laugh dryly, and then asked, "Then what is Your Majesty's second thing?"
"Reiterate to Your Majesty the neutrality of our elves!" The Elven Queen then said solemnly, "According to the previous agreement with the Holy See. The Forest of Elves belongs to the Elven Clan, and no one is allowed to enter without our permission, and those who disobey will be killed! Now that the forest has been sealed off by us, I would like to inform you that there will be no misunderstanding that should not have happened. ”
"Did you come all this way to remind me of this?" said the Pope exasperatedly.
In fact, although the Elven Forest is nominally an elven land, it does not actually restrict human access much. Because the Elven Forest is too big, it is impossible for the elven human race to take care of it. And this place is dozens of days away from the base camp of the elven terrans, and powerful demonic beasts are everywhere in between, so the elven terrans have almost never appeared here before. But today, they deliberately ran over and sealed off this elven forest so that no one could enter, which was obviously an action against the Holy See army. That's why the Pope is so angry.
"Of course, it's not specifically to remind Your Majesty!" the Elven Queen smiled, "His Majesty the Pope has long been clear about this matter, and there is no need to remind him at all." But when the Great Prophet first arrived, some things were not very familiar. So I'm here to remind him!"
"Yes, Her Majesty is here to remind me, don't misunderstand Your Majesty the Pope!" the Great Prophet smiled, "I would like to thank Her Majesty the Elven Queen for her reminder here, and promise that I will not let my children enter the Elven Forest at will!"
"Thank you, Prophet!" said the Elven Queen with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, the Great Prophet and the Elven Queen sang and drank, blocking the Pope's way home in two directions. And it's the easiest direction to escape, the whole process is smooth and natural, and it's very harmonious, as if the two of them had agreed on it beforehand. With such an obvious flaw, it is certainly impossible for the treacherous Pope not to see it.
He realized almost immediately that he seemed to be being played by the two of them, but so far, the other party has not shown any flaws, and he is embarrassed to turn his face on the spot. In order to tighten his judgment, he had no choice but to ask tentatively, "Great Prophet, how much benefit did Helen do to hire you to send hundreds of thousands of troops to help her stay here for ten days?"
"Yes!" the Great Prophet pretended to hesitate and said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm afraid of irritating you!"
"It doesn't matter, I haven't seen a big scene?" said the Pope proudly: "Whether it is financial or material resources, Kasia is far from being comparable to the Holy See!"
"Well, that's true, but this time the situation is more special, I'm afraid it will really stimulate you. The Great Prophet smiled and said, "Are you sure Your Majesty wants to know this secret?"
"Of course, I'm sure!" said the Pope without relaxation. The more people try to hide something, the easier it is to arouse the interest of others, and this is the case with the Pope now.
"In that case, then I'll tell you!" the Great Prophet sneered, "The price for Kasia's hiring of our army this time is, hehe, a copper coin for your human race!"
"Hehe!" the Great Prophet burst out laughing with the Elven Queen.
"Ah!" the Pope was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and then roared in grief and indignation: "You dare to play tricks on me!"
"Haha!" The Elven Queen laughed and said, "Your Majesty the Pope, your Holy See has been tyrannical on the continent for thousands of years, and you have always been majesticly playing tricks on others, and you deserve to have it today!"
"Hehe, the feeling of playing with the most honorable pope in human society, well!" the great prophet pretended to say, "It's more cool!"
