"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you must not attack the Bonaparte Empire! The current Bonaparte Empire is no longer the Gallic tribes of the past! ”

Cardinal Donatro stopped in front of Caesar and said in a loud voice: "How much more they are our allies!" ”

"Allies?"

Caesar looked at Donatro calmly: "When you say allies, do you mean the Bonaparte Empire and the Roman Republic, or do you mean the Cult of Wisdom and the Cult of Abundance?" ”

"This...."Archbishop Donatro choked: "No matter what, Your Majesty, the current Roman Republic cannot defeat the Bonaparte Empire!" Rome is no longer in its former glory, but the Bonaparte Empire and the Kingdom of Windsor are rapidly rising kingdoms! They are the ones who control the political landscape of all countries today! ”

"Napoleon Bonaparte .... I have read his information, the supreme emperor in the eyes of the Gauls, who conquered the lands of Rome. ”

Caesar couldn't help but recall the era in which he lived, before he took power and became dictators, Pompey and Crassus were his biggest opponents, especially Pompey, who was known as the god of war, with great prestige, and the Senate had to rely on him, but what was the result?

Pompey is dead, Crassus is dead, and the final victor is him, Gaius Caesar!

Although he also didn't have the last laugh and was assassinated by the Senate, at least he really defeated his enemy, and he was the winner who crawled out of the bloody storm!

Napoleon Bonaparte ....

Like Pompey at the height of his life, perhaps superior, Caesar was not afraid.

"Donatro, do you remember my other title besides First Archon and Dictator?"

Without thinking, Donatro said, "Remember, Your Majesty, you are the Governor of Gaul. ”

"That's right, I'm the governor of Gaul." Caesar bowed his head and said: "I have conquered Gaul, I know the customs there, and I also understand the importance of Gaul, if you want to compete in the world, you must first conquer Gaul!" ”

Today's era is no longer the ancient Roman period, the ancient Roman period, the economic and cultural center in Rome-Greece, Gaul, Germanic and other peoples are just barren barbarian land, when Rome was founded, Gaul, Germanic are still playing tribes!

】

But the glory of the past has faded, and today's economic and cultural center is no longer the Roman-Greek region, but the barbarian region that was once regarded by the Romans as brutal, ferocious, and blood-drinking.

There was no point in conquering further east, so Caesar set his sights back on Gaul, the Central Continent.

"As long as we can take Gaul and unite with the Kingdom of Carlos in the west, then we will firmly control the Mediterranean region, not only can we vigorously develop our navy and compete with the Kingdom of Windsor for the status of maritime supremacy, but we can also contain the trade of the Barbarossa Empire, the Kingdom of Otto and other places..."

Caesar walked to the wall, pointed to the world map on the wall, and said: "Gaul has separated us from the kingdom of Carlos, like an arrow through the throat, so that we cannot breathe, and we cannot correspond to each other, and if we want to revive Rome, we must conquer Gaul!" ”

"But Your Majesty, now we can't defeat the Bonaparte Empire, and blindly starting a war will only make the Romanov Kingdom in the north cheap!"

"Donatrow, do you think the Kingdom or the Church are important?"

"The Church." Donatro blurted out, "Don't you think so, Your Majesty?" It was Serafina, the goddess of fertility, who resurrected you and gave you a second life...."

The corners of Caesar's mouth rose, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said softly: "I also think that the church is more important, after all, there are gods coming, right?" Theocracy is above royal power. ”

"Before resurrecting you, Serafina said that she was not a god suitable for expansion and conquest, and that she felt that she could only bring endless food and wine to her people, so she saw you as the existence of the Cult of Fertility, and only you could lead us to victory, and the Church was willing to support you with all its might, which was not an empty word." Donatro said with great sincerity.

"Oh...."Caesar understood: "In other words, Serafina, the goddess of fertility, only wants to do logistics, and leave all other affairs to me, does that mean?" ”

"Almost.... Yes. ”

A true king will never be willing to be subservient, which is why the churches have never produced a great pope who can compete with the emperors in history, unless the gods are willing to let a strong man who does not believe in himself be the pope, but who would dare?

Situations like the Church of Truth are isolated after all.

"I know what you want me to do." Caesar folded his hands behind his back, stared at the map, and said, "The conquest of other countries and the making the Roman Republic prosperous and powerful are only secondary needs, and the real purpose of Serafina, the goddess of abundance, is to find the key left by the god of the apocalypse, Nereyinda, and promote the main god." ”

Regarding the matter of the key, not long after Caesar woke up, Archbishop Donatro and others mentioned to him that the size of the country is important, but it is not so important compared to the key that the main god hopes for.

The goddess of fate, the goddess of abundance, the god of judgment, the god of wisdom.... Among these gods, whoever gets the key and is promoted to the main god will be able to unify the former Apocalypse God system, and when the faith is unified, the land will naturally expand.

Ideas have no borders or borders.

"The key left behind by Nereyinda has not yet appeared, not even a clue, but fortunately the other churches have no clue," Donatro sighed.

"Really, not?"

"What do you mean?"

Caesar glanced at Donatello beside him, and said in a calm tone: "Four years ago, Pope Mavi Enders of the Church of Truth was just an ordinary naval lieutenant, and his fleet of San Martil ransacked the merchant ships of the Cult of Wisdom, and not long after, the Cult of Wisdom organized a navy and launched the Battle of Perea. ”

"The outcome of that battle is known to all, the fleet of St. Martiel was completely destroyed, but Mavi Enders survived, not only did he survive, but he resigned from the army as soon as he returned home, and went to the city of New Ross to become a small priest.... Am I right? ”

"Yes." Archbishop Donatro nodded: "It's not a secret. ”

"You don't seem to have gotten to the point." Caesar held up three fingers: "First of all, the merchant ships of the Wisdom God Cult were looted near the Dead Sea, why did they send merchant ships to the Dead Sea?" It should be a place where all merchant ships avoid. ”

Second, why did Mavi Enders, who had sacked the merchant ship, found the Church of Truth immediately after returning home? The Church of Truth has developed to this day, and it has become a behemoth, is there really no connection between them? ”

"Finally, if there is nothing very important on the merchant ship, why would the Cult of Wisdom go to such lengths to launch the Battle of Perea? If it's just for revenge, I think there's a better way. ”

"Any of the above three situations, any one of which occurs at a time can be explained by coincidence, but when all three situations occur at the same time.... Donatro, haven't you figured it out yet? ”

Donatro's eyes widened and he stammered, "Secret Magic.... Could it be that the Cult of Wisdom has opened the secret of magic left behind by Yorinne Bojie?! They got the key left behind by Nelei Yinda! ”

But in the next second, Donatro was a little dazed: "No, if Anatole got the key, why not be promoted to the main god directly?" Could it be.... Lost the key in the Battle of Perea? ”

Caesar smiled: "Either the key is lost, or the key has fallen into the hands of Mavi Enders, but judging from the fact that the Cult of Wisdom has not waged an all-out war against the Church of Truth, the possibility of the key being lost is higher." ”

"There's a third possibility." Donatro swallowed, and suddenly remembered something: "I remember Serafina mentioned that Anatol, the god of wisdom.... In the bottom of her heart, she has always admired Neilei Yinda, if she gets the key, it is likely that she will not use the key to promote the main god, but will try to make Neilei Yinda come, which is also the reason why she has been pursuing the tears of the Siren, because she wants to use the tears of the Siren to promote the main god, not the key! ”

"There is such a thing, in this case, it is possible that the key is in the hands of the Wisdom God Cult."

Caesar sneered:

"Now the interests of the kingdom and the church are completely identical, Donatro, and now you still do not agree with my idea of going north to Gaul?"

"It's... I have to ask the goddess for this matter, and the Senate votes, Your Majesty, I must remind you...."Donatro wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked a little embarrassed: "The people of the Roman Republic hate war very much, and they care more about noodles, ham, and wine than war, so your proposal will probably not pass." ”

"What?" Caesar frowned: "The Roman army, which can fight well, hates war now?" ”

"The main thing is that there is food and clothing, there is no need for war .... They also like to fall in love, very... Well, laid-back. ”

"Are you kidding me, Donatrow?"

"I'm telling the truth.... If you don't believe your majesty, you'll find out if you go out for a walk...."Donatello smirked, "If it weren't for the fact that the whole country couldn't find a suitable king, Serafina, the goddess of fertility, wouldn't have thought of waking you up from her grave. ”

Caesar: "? ”
