"What should I do?" Clement watched the vengeful warrior General Victor being blown to pieces by an enemy cannonball, and finally couldn't help but ask.

This situation was not foreseen by the Holy See, and in so many military exercises organized by the Holy See, almost everything was counted, but only its own artillery array was not calculated to be destroyed so easily.

These more than 1,000 artillery pieces have condensed the efforts of Western Europe for five years, but they are gone in such a short period of time, how can this battle be fought!

As one of the deputy marshals of the Crusaders, Kuhn's face was full of shock, but he still said in a deep voice: "At the time of the Battle of Andorra, the coalition army was also heavily damaged by the armed army at the beginning of the war, but the brave and fearless crusader soldiers still broke through the defense line of the armed army and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.

"What does General Kuhn mean?" Clement asked modestly.

"Nothing else." Kuhn snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, we have millions of brave warriors, and behind us there are millions of believers who are willing to die for the holy war, and then there are dozens of kingdoms and God's people in Europe, we have no way to retreat, if we retreat, no one in Europe will be able to resist the attack of the martial country, then the whole of Europe will fall, the people of God will be enslaved by the warriors, this realm of the gods will also become a paradise for infidels, and our holy land will also be trampled on by the infidels, Your Majesty, If Europe loses even the holy places of God, the majesty of God will be lost, and the followers of God will feel that God has abandoned them, and they will question their beliefs, which will be a catastrophe! ”

Clement shuddered and said, "Then how to deal with the enemy now?"

"The fish dies and the net is broken, and it is born to die!" Kuhn gritted his teeth and said: "The biggest advantage of the crusaders is that we have an army of millions and a steady stream of soldiers. We can do whatever it takes, no matter how many people die, even if the million army dies, let the reserve army, the reserve army die, let countless believers go up, resolutely do not give the Wu country a little respite, keep fighting, no matter whether it is day or night, I don't believe that the Wu Dynasty can have as many shells, I don't believe that their artillery will not explode if they continue to fire artillery, we use the sea of people to consume human lives, consume until the Wu country runs out of ammunition and food, and consumes the military army exhausted, and at that time, we will usher in the dawn of victory！ ”

Ruthless, ruthless!

Clement looked at Kuhn with blazing eyes, and gave this guy a pertinent evaluation in his heart.

"What is Your Majesty still hesitating about!" Kuhn shouted: "The ambition of the Wu Kingdom has begun since the day they landed in Europe, they are not the whip of the barbaric God, this is an invasion of the Eastern country with an extremely clear battle plan and a more clear strategic goal, they are in the camp step by step, they occupy as much territory as they want, not for the purpose of killing, they want the whole of Europe, they want to turn Europe into a unified country like the Eastern Dynasty, and there will be no soil for the survival of the believers of the gods in this country......"

Clement was stunned for a moment, in his opinion, no matter how ruthless the Orientals were, even if they really won the holy war, then as long as they were in Europe, the kingdom of God, with the power of faith, they would definitely make the Orientals become believers in God...... In fact, there is no essential difference, this is faith assimilation!

As for why he has not been able to proselytize among the Orientals in the past few years, in Clement's view, it was the incompetence of the previous pope, or he did not think about reform at all, and the ultimate goal of the previous papacy was not assimilation but elimination!

Wipe out the kingdoms and armies of the pagans of the East and enslave the civilians of the East to wash away the shame of the Battle of Andorra!

However, Kuhn's words seem to want to assimilate the Orientals with faith, and there is no possibility!

Kuhn seemed to see through the Pope's thoughts, and sneered: "Your Majesty, give up unrealistic illusions, the Oriental people have no faith, since hundreds of years ago, the Holy See sent missionaries to the East, I clearly know in the missionary notes that there is no faith in the East, the common people in the East can go to worship the Buddha today, tomorrow they can go to worship the Tao, if they are interested, they will go to the church, and if they want to use their faith to influence them, it is impossible!"

Clement took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly became sharp, he looked at Kuhn and said: "I don't understand military affairs or war, but I know that any army, when the casualties reach a certain proportion, the soldiers will be afraid, you said to use millions of people to play with the martial country, I want to know, if this million army suffers 300,000 or even 500,000 casualties, will the surviving soldiers still have the courage to continue fighting!"

"Your Majesty, do not doubt the faith of the believers, let alone doubt the faithfulness of the believers to the Lord." Kuhn said: "This is a holy war, every soldier will feel that it is an honor to die for the Lord, and His Majesty can issue a decree and order all cardinals, priests, and priests in the Holy See...... Singing hymns on the battlefield and bathing every warrior in the divine radiance, the Crusader warriors will surely be able to arouse boundless courage and fight to the end without fear of death! ”

Clement is still a little undecided, as the Pope, what he needs to consider is not a simple military level, what he needs to consider is the interests of the Holy See!

From the perspective of the Holy See, if the battle of the Rhine is won this time, then everything can be said, the prestige of the Holy See will inevitably reach its peak, and he will become one of the greatest popes in history.

Even if it is defeated, as long as it is not a miserable defeat, then there is still room for turnaround, after all, even if the Wu Dynasty immigrated as many as four million people this time, but now the population of the East on the land of Western Europe is still less than 10 million, and Europe still has a huge advantage in terms of population base, and this advantage is the capital for negotiation!

After all, judging from the strategy of the Wu Dynasty, it is simply unrealistic for a few million people to occupy how many places, and a few million people want to swallow the whole of Europe!

The army and population are the capital of the Holy See after the defeat of the war, once again forcing the Wu Dynasty to the negotiating table, this time the Battle of the Rhine, the Holy See launched a holy war, of course, it is preparing millions of believers to become warriors, but if these elite Europeans are killed or captured in battle, then the Holy See will lose all its capital!

The essence of war is politics, and in Europe, the interests of war are theocracy!

So Clement didn't dare to gamble and didn't want to bet, but now Kuhn is so bad that Clement's belief has been shaken......
