Chapter 217: Looking Away, Roland Continent!

Roland Big 6?

Roddy's first thought was, could it be that the old skeleton knew that he had obtained the "Scepter of Moses" and wanted to start a war of aggression?

But then he rejected the idea - impossible!

Without the "God's Smile" mask, Andy couldn't sense his movements. There's no way he'll know he's got the scepter.

Moreover, in less than two years, the empire fought the Northwest War and the Roland Holy War. Two large-scale wars were fought in two years, and the national strength of the empire was already somewhat insufficient, and it was impossible to provoke another large-scale war.

Although the last holy war was won, the empire also paid a heavy price. It weighed heavily on the empire like a heavy burden.

It's not war, so what does Andy mean? Thinking of this, Roddy looked at Andy with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Andy understood what Roddy was thinking, he didn't speak, just glanced at the Marquis of Caroline.

The old marquis handed Luo Di a scroll, and Luo Bian looked at it, only to see a large string of things written in Roland script on the slightly yellowed thick paper scroll.

In the lower right corner, there is also a coat of arms that symbolizes the Temple of Roland, and the badge of the six-pointed star is obviously a magic mark, and it seems that it is still shining.

"What is this?" Rodi frowned, he couldn't read Roland's words.

Marquis Caroline's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "A letter, or a notice." It's a notice issued by the Roland Big 6 Temple to announce the entire Big 6!"

"Announcement?" Luo Di thought for a moment, "Is it a mobilization for war? Isn't the temple willing to accept the defeat of the last war and want to provoke war again?"

The Caroline Marquis smiled and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency Roddy." It's not what you think - in fact, the general idea of this text: the first few paragraphs denounce the incompetence of the various kingdoms of Roland6 and the failure of the jihad. Immediately, the temple said that a fragmented Roland 6 would not be able to complete the great cause of the crusade against the infidels...... So, hum ......" Speaking of this, the old marquis's tone was a little gloomy, and he sneered twice before he said slowly: "So the temple is to inform the world." Archbishop of the Shrine Elder decided to be crowned ...... Pope!" After saying the last two words, a strange color flashed in the old marquis's eyes.

"Pope!" Roddy's expression immediately became serious: "He wants to be the Pope?!"

Luo Di looked at the Marquis of Caroline, then at Andy, and suddenly sneered: "Could it be that the people of the Roland Temple are crazy? Pope? In the history of the Divine Cult for thousands of years, there has only been one Pope! That is the first Pope Moses! The later Divine Cult was divided into two, and no matter how fiercely the two factions competed, they did not dare to claim to be the 'emperor' of the Divine Cult." Even our Cult of God of the Great Bright 6. Although it has covered the entire empire, the Divine Cult Territory only dares to call itself the 'Pope', and does not have the courage to be any 'Pope'! Could it be that he was a madman? Moses became the pope by virtue of his great achievement of splitting the Thundering Strait and leading mankind to conquer the Great 6 of Light...... Why is this elder of the Roland Temple? madman!"

Andy still didn't speak, just looked at the Marquis of Caroline. The old marquis sighed: "Your Excellency Count Roddy." I'm afraid that this Elder Xi of the Roland Temple is not a madman! In fact, he has been planning for a long time. ”

At this, the smile on his face seemed to be a little deep, staring at Roddy.

Roddy's thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. Then he suddenly said loudly: "Is this war?"

The old marquis nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and said with a wry smile: "We have always been suspicious. The war that has just ended with the Roland people is simply inexplicable. Although the Roland people made a lot of noise, they could not win the war in any way. They sent an army of 800,000 men...... Hmph, let alone 800,000, above 6 lands, even if they have an army of 1.8 million, it is impossible to defeat our land. Why would they start a war that we don't know with any certainty? It's a question we haven't been able to figure out......."

A smile bloomed at the corner of the old marquis's mouth: "Although the Roland Temple has always had a deep influence in Roland 6, it is still only a spiritual leader after all, although the sages they assign to various places have no less authority than the king, but after all, the real power of each country is still in the hands of the king...... Now it seems that the plot of the Roland Temple is really not small, they want to turn the entire Roland 6 into a religious empire!"

Luo Di closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and then slowly spoke: "Well, yes! First call on the entire dozen kingdoms of the Big 6 to mobilize troops, and then send more than half of the army of the Roland Big 6 to us to start a war." Use this war to exhaust the armies of more than a dozen kingdoms of Roland 6! In this way, the balance of power between the original temple of Roland 6 and more than a dozen kingdoms has been broken! In the war, although the temple also lost some holy knights, but in comparison, those kingdoms were even more demoralized! Haha! Okay! What a sword to kill!"

Marquis Caroline smiled and said, "Your Excellency Count Roddy is right! After the balance of strength is broken, the kingdoms of Roland Da 6 will not have enough strength to suppress the temple, and the strength of the temple will prevail! Now the Grand Elder of the Temple will be crowned pope...... Hmph, Count Rodi, you must know what the Pope means, right?"

Roddy showed a complicated expression on his face, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I know!"

According to the history that Roddy knows.

The only pope in the history of the Cult of God, Pope Moses, was almost the co-leader of mankind when he was in power!

The real leader is in power, and he says the same. To put it more simply, it is dictatorship! It is the emperor!

The current Grand Elder of the Roland Temple is going to be crowned Pope, and it is obvious that he wants to unify the various kingdoms of Roland the Great 6. Then build a vast religious empire that can rival the Empire of Light!

After all, in the Empire of Light, religious rights and state rights were still separated, and the emperor and the pope kept each other in check. However, what the Roland Temple wants to build is an empire with completely unified national and religious rights! There is no difference between the emperor and the pope, and the pope alone combines the rights of the "emperor" and the "pope"!

"It's crazy! crazy thoughts, crazy actions!" Roddy's tone was a little bitter.

Marquis Caroline shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not just crazy. We thought about it. Although their move is crazy, it is undeniable that their timing is really very good from any point of view!"

The old marquis's tone was a little helpless: "The existence of the Thundering Strait makes it impossible for us to take advantage of the situation even when they are in civil strife, after all, the Roland Navy is still there, and it is impossible for them to give us a chance to fight over." And after a big war, we don't have the strength to fight them! We also paid a heavy price for the victory of that war...... Your Excellency Count Roddy, I'm afraid you don't know. The Empire's finances are struggling right now...... A great war in the north cost the empire tens of millions of gold coins! This does not include the consumption of the northwest battlefield......"

Borrow a knife to kill someone!

Typical borrowed knife killing!

A so-called "holy war" is actually that the Roland Temple used the Bright Empire to greatly consume the strength of the various kingdoms of Roland 6, and then ...... Hum.

Thinking of this, Luo Di said: "Then let me go to Roland 6, what is it for?"

Andy finally spoke, his face still showing imperial dignity, and said in a deep voice: "Negotiate peace!"

Rondy frowned. Marquis Caroline smiled and said, "That King of the Sauron Kingdom of Roland 6 is a very smart guy. The Kingdom of Sauron was a powerful country in Roland. Naturally, he was unwilling to be annexed by the temple...... If the temple really fell out with those kingdoms on Roland 6, then it was certain that the sword soldiers would meet each other! It's just that they lost most of their troops in this holy war, and they were worried that they wouldn't be able to compete with the temple, so they ......"

Roddy already understood in his heart, and said, "So the kingdom of Sauron has asked us for peace!, right? Does King Sauron want us to bring troops to help them fight against the temple?"

"Not really. The Marquis Caroline laughed, "Have you forgotten?

Roddy's eyes lit up!

POW!

In a holy war, the empire captured 500,000 troops of the other side, and those armies have been scattered in the north as slaves under the management of General Ziggy! These 500,000 people, but the elite army of those kingdoms of Roland 6! Especially the royal knights of the kingdom of Sauron are also among them, as well as their elite and powerful chariote!

Marquis Caroline continued: "The secret envoy of the Kingdom of Sauron has come to the Imperial Capital, and through me he has asked to see His Majesty, conveyed the intention of King Sauron, and asked us to return the captured army so that they can resist the suppression of the Temple. ”

Luo Di pondered for a moment: "Can we agree to release the prisoners of war? After all, it is hundreds of thousands of troops! It is not a good thing for us to release the enemy's army back." ”

The Carolingian Marquis also seemed to sigh: "Of course it's not a good thing. After all, it was Duke Tulip and the warriors of the empire who paid countless lives and blood to win the war, and now we are not reconciled to release the prisoners of war...... However, Lord Rodi, I think that if those prisoners of war are not sent back, then the temple of Roland 6 can easily defeat those kingdoms, and soon Roland Da 6 will be unified! At that time, a strong and unified empire will appear in our north! That will be an even greater threat to the empire!"

Luo Di nodded, a smile appeared on his face, but that smile made Marquis Caroline feel cold, and then he heard Luo Di say slowly: "I understand! For the sake of the future of the Bright Empire, the Roland people must continue to be divided, and they cannot be allowed to form a unified empire!"

Marquis Caroline rolled up his sleeves, bowed to Andy, and whispered: "So, Your Majesty means to invite you to go to Roland 6 once and act as the envoy of this negotiation on behalf of the Empire!"

With that said, now is the time for the show.

Luo Di also immediately pretended to be respectful, bowed lightly to the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Please give an order from Your Majesty!"

Andy smiled slightly and said, "Although it has been decided that peace can be negotiated with the Kingdom of Sauron, but after all, it is hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war!

The next step is to negotiate some terms for peace talks. Andy didn't need to speak, the Marquis of Caroline had already made up his mind. This old fox is indeed a good hand in the political arena, and although his conduct is not very good, he is indeed a capable minister! He has already thought of a large set of plans and prescribed a long list of conditions.

Roddy didn't intervene much, just stood and looked at Andy and the Marquis of Caroline coldly, compared to Andy, an old guy of more than two hundred years, the Marquis of Caroline can only be regarded as "small") The two foxes were discussing the conspiracy of how to slaughter the Roland people with a knife.

Luo Di frowned secretly when he heard this, but when he saw the fat man Tianlie who was pretending to be a guard of the Guards next to him, he couldn't help but have a fascinated expression, listening to those conspiracies, and his face showed an expression of "That's how it should be".

Luo Di could only smile bitterly, he knew that these old guys had more ghost ideas in their hearts, and as for the conditions of the negotiation, they didn't have to worry about it at all. They can definitely scratch the Roland people hard!

Hmph, I heard that the kingdom of Sauron is very rich......

Roland 6 ...... Alas, Roland Big 6!

Roddy remembered the day he was standing on the walls of Thundering City. Thinking of the magical flame blooming into tulips above the starry sky that night, Roddy couldn't help but be a little stupid.

Crape...... Miaosi ...... I'm going to Roland 6!

Thinking of this, Luo Di subconsciously touched his chest, and the iron ring given to him by the black gauze hung on his chest, and the hard, cold metal was attached to the skin on his chest, Luo Di had a strange feeling in his heart, and a boiling blood surged into his heart!

Miaosi, you must be looking forward to seeing us again......
