Back at the church, the messenger of the Doomsday Party was already waiting for Mavi in the room.

The messenger was a young man with square-rimmed glasses, who looked to be in his twenties and thirties, dressed in a suit and shiny leather shoes, and very politely got up to greet Mavi: "Your Majesty, I am Asmin Liszt. ”

Glancing at the status-symbolizing badge on the young man's chest, Ma Wei sat down on the sofa and said, "Your status within the Doomsday Party should not be low, Mr. Liszt. ”

"It seems that the Grand Pope has some knowledge of the hierarchy of our Doomsday Party." Liszt smiled slightly: "You are right, I am a mentor at the level of the Doomsday Party, although it is only average, but I came with sincerity." ”

The Doomsday Party has a strict hierarchy, with the lowest rank being the worker, and the upper rank being the worker, the wise man, the mentor, the elder, the gospel, and the party leader.

Don't look at the mentor who is only ranked in the middle, he has a very noble position in the party, and is the key hub for the superiors to control the subordinates, controlling countless apprentices, that is, the so-called subordinate members.

The upper echelons of the Doomsday Party are very mysterious, and the investigation level by level can only find the level of the mentor, and it is impossible to go deeper, and those who can serve as mentors must be members who are trusted by the Doomsday Party.

As for Yasmin Liszt, who was sent by the Doomsday Party to negotiate, Holmes mentioned that he was from the Liszt family, and the Liszt family is one of the two major families within the Doomsday Party, and countless family members are in high positions.

"Just say it if you have anything to say, I'm busy and I don't like to go around in circles." Ma Wei said bluntly.

Hearing this, Liszt immediately took out a letter and handed it over: "Please take a look." ”

The envelope was blank on the surface, and when opened, there was a handwritten letter signed by Russell.

Russell's rank in the Doomsday Party is the Gospel, second only to the party leader, Ma Wei knows, but Liszt doesn't know that he knows, and he reminded: "Russell is my brother, two levels higher than me, and it is the gospel of the party, since you know something about our Doomsday Party, you should understand the sincerity of the members of this level of the Gospel to sign the letter." ”

Needless to say, Mavi also knew what Russell's handwritten letter meant.

The Doomsday Party, like the Freedom Society, is always elusive, the top of the mentor level, even the name has to be kept secret, and the information is pitiful, such a handwritten letter of the Gospel is undoubtedly to confess his identity and status in the party to Ma Wei, trying to make him understand the importance and sincerity of the Doomsday Party to negotiations.

The content of the letter is also very simple, Russell first congratulated Ma Wei on annexing the Goddess of Fate Church and establishing the Northern Alliance, said a bunch of compliments, and then expressed the heart of friendship, and finally euphemistically proposed win-win cooperation.

"I heard that the southern slave army is retreating one after another, and it is no longer able to resist the attack of the Apocalypse Divine System, and defeat is just around the corner."

Ma Wei put down the letter and said, "Now that you are proposing to cooperate with the Church of Truth, do you want us to send troops to support the Southern Slave Army?" ”

"The Great Pope has misunderstood, we are not asking the Church of Truth to send troops to support, but we hope to establish an alliance with your Church in order to jointly resist the Apocalypse Divine System."

Liszt said: "Because of the return of Nereida, our offensive has been blocked, the weapons developed by the Doomsday Party are not yet mature, and they cannot compete with the Apocalypse Divine System, defeat is inevitable, and our Party has long been ready to retreat." ”

At this juncture, it is simply unrealistic to expect the Church of Truth to rush out to block the Apocalypse Divine System, not to mention whether it can be defeated, why should the Church of Truth sacrifice its life to help them?

Therefore, Liszt did not have the hope of the Truth Church participating in the war from the beginning, and the top of the Doomsday Party also made a decision to abandon the southern slave army and retreat to the south.

"Where have you decided to retreat?"

"Aztec Empire!" Liszt said truthfully: "Don't dare to hide it from the Great Pope, in fact, in recent years, the Doomsday Party has already controlled the royal family of the Aztec Empire, and we have long found a way to retreat, and once we encounter difficulties, we will retreat to the Aztec Empire." ”

Mavi frowned, he sent Goncharov just to unite with the Aztec Empire and other small countries in the Western Continent, but he didn't expect the Doomsday Party to take the lead.

However, this can also see the cautious style of the Doomsday Party, who have been handed down from the real era to the present, if they were not cautious, they would have perished in the long river of history.

"The Apocalypse Divine Department doesn't know our plans, but the higher-ups believe that the Apocalypse Divine System is likely to develop in the direction of the Aztec Empire in the next step, which is rich in resources and is a battleground for battle."

Liszt said sincerely: "If the Apocalypse Divine System develops towards the Aztec Empire, it will be difficult for the Doomsday Party to operate and develop under their noses, so I came here in the hope of cooperating with the Truth Church." ”

Now Ma Wei became interested: "How do you plan to cooperate?" ”

"To each his own according to his needs."

Liszt immediately replied: "The Doomsday Party needs a safe place to live, and other parties do not pay attention to it, if the Great Pope agrees, we are willing to facilitate the cooperation between the Aztec Empire and the Church of Truth, and the Church of Truth can preach, operate, and collect resources locally, as long as it does not interfere with us." ”

The believers and resources needed by the belief in the god system are not important in the eyes of the Doomsday Party, what they want is time, time to develop alchemy technology!

If there is anyone who can stop the Apocalypse Divine System at the moment, there is only the Church of Truth, and it is unrealistic to expect the God of Volodus to Dambala, since Nereida's return, he was so frightened that he sent a letter of surrender, saying that he has always been a loyal vassal of the Apocalypse Divine System.

One word, cheap!

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a delaying tactic, and it is obvious that Dembhala is afraid that Nereida will liquidate himself, so he will surrender, and if Nereida does not accept it and has to attack him, then he will definitely come to seek help from the Church of Truth.

If Dan Balazhen came to ask for cooperation, Ma Wei would definitely agree.

The reason is very simple, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is the most correct choice to win over allies, and constantly making enemies is the way to death.

It is impossible for Nereida not to understand this truth, he accepted the surrender of Dembala, and did not attack the kingdom of Volodus and force Dambala to fall to the Church of Truth.

When the war in the United States of Citi is over, what is the next development goal of the Apocalypse Divine System?

Most likely, it is a small southern country in the Western Continent.

The great power game is the economy, especially the battle of faith, how to rob believers without money?

How can you develop without money?

Neither the Church of Truth nor the Apocalypse Divine System could spare the small southern countries of the Western Continent.

Mavi was moved, the Aztec Empire was an important link between the small southern countries, and if it could get the support of the Aztec Empire, the Church of Truth would be able to isolate the United States of Citi and use the Aztec Empire as a base to influence the surrounding small countries.

And the Church of Truth paid a very small price for this, and only had to turn a blind eye to the Doomsday Party.

Seeing that Ma Wei was silent, Liszt thought that he was not satisfied with the conditions offered by the Doomsday Party, and said: "I heard that the Church of Truth is also currently developing alchemy technology, if you are willing to cooperate with us, we can jointly develop the Golden Age Ruins." ”

"Are you willing to share alchemy technology with the Church of Truth?" Ma Wei was a little unconvinced.

"The Great Pope seems to see the Doomsday Party as too selfish."

Liszt smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, the goal of the Doomsday Party has always been to continue the fate of mankind, to be precise, we are an organization born for the fate of mankind, which is also the reason why our inheritance has not been broken for tens of thousands of years, as long as there are human beings, the Doomsday Party will not perish." ”

"And you, the Great Pope, the Church of Truth you have founded, the teachings you propagate are all for the sake of mankind, even if we have different ideologies, but the goal is the same! That's why we're looking for you to cooperate, not to surrender to the Apocalypse, and we're not alone. ”

Liszt's eloquence was good, but Yunia objected.

"Then you still sent someone to assassinate my father?" Yunia pursed her lips.

"It's so wrong." Liszt said helplessly: "We didn't know that Nicholas von Manstein was the Great Pope at that time, and if we knew, how could we carry out the assassination?" ”

Ma Wei didn't dwell on this matter, and said directly: "Regarding cooperation, I will hold a meeting to discuss and decide, and if the majority votes through, I will agree to the conditions of the Doomsday Party." ”

"As soon as possible, please." Liszt reminded: "We have already begun to retreat towards the Aztec Empire, and without our help, the southern slave army will be instantly routed and without resistance. ”

Of course, Ma Wei knew this, and he had guessed from the moment the Doomsday Party sent an envoy that the Doomsday Party would definitely be desperate and would risk its survival.

In the evening of the same day, Ma Wei used the Chamber of the Gods to convene an emergency meeting to discuss with Dino, Christopher, and others whether to accept the conditions of the Doomsday Party.

"Of course." Dino was the first to say: "The next development goal of the church is the Aztec Empire, even if we don't help the Doomsday Party, we have to reach cooperation with the Aztec Empire, and friction between the Apocalypse God System is inevitable." ”

Christopher pondered, "But the Doomsday Party is the enemy of the Church, and they, like the Freedom Society, are trying to overthrow the belief in the divine system, so how can we cooperate with them?" In my opinion, it is better to pretend to agree, first reach a cooperation with the Aztec Empire, find out the location of their headquarters, and eradicate them in one fell swoop! ”

"To do so is to ruin the credibility of the Church of Truth!"

Cardinal Akim, one of Mavi's students, retorted loudly: "What will believers think if they don't keep their integrity? Do they feel that the church is not keeping its word? And what will the member states of the Northern Alliance think? And the wavering little nations that will cooperate with the untrustworthy Truth Church? ”

"There is nothing more stupid than giving up the future for the sake of the moment!"

As soon as Akeem's words came out, he instantly won the approval of everyone, Christopher's strategy is a double-edged sword, it can indeed eradicate the great enemy of the Doomsday Party for the church, but it will also hurt the church, credibility is very important, Mavi has always attached great importance to the credibility of the church.

When it comes to it, it has to be done.

How can an unreputable church attract believers?

There are also many people who support Christopher, they think that the threat of the Doomsday Party is very great, and cooperating with them is to seek the skin of the tiger, and sooner or later they will be counterattacked, so it is better to simply refuse to cooperate with them and take the Aztec Empire with strength.

Edward, Babas, and other leaders of the otherworldly races supported Christopher, and they have never had a good opinion of the Doomsday Party and are staunch opponents.

Ma Wei has never expressed his position, if he expresses his ideas, he will definitely get the support of everyone, then this meeting will not be meaningful.

This is a sign of too much prestige, which will suppress others from expressing their true thoughts, so Ma Wei tried to participate in the meeting as neutrally as possible.

"Let's vote."

At the moment when everyone was arguing, Ma Wei finally spoke: "If you agree with the Doomsday Party, please raise your hand, and if you don't raise your hand, you will abstain." ”

Under Dino's leadership, many cardinals raised their hands.

After recording the votes, Ma Wei asked, "Raise your hand if you oppose cooperation with the Doomsday Party." ”

Christopher, Sarina, Edward, and other church members raised their arms, and even Daniel and Levine were on this side.

The Three Goddesses of Fate and the members of the Hubli I faction all abstained, although they had just joined the Church of Truth, Mavi had already given them the right to vote, but they did not use it, they have always been neutral and follow the choice of fate.

Of the seventy-five participants, seventeen abstentions, twenty-five in favour and thirty-three against.

Ma Wei and Yunia did not vote, and like the three goddesses of fate, they chose to abstain.

"Twenty-five votes to thirty-five I declare that the Church of Truth refuses to cooperate with the Doomsday Party!"

"What? Refuse?! ”

In the room, Liszt, who heard the results of the meeting, had a face full of disbelief and doubted his ears: "Great Pope, I heard you right, right?" The Church of Truth even refuses to cooperate with the Doomsday Party? ”

"It's the decision of the General Assembly." Ma Wei took a sip of the teacup: "What, do you think that the Church of Truth will definitely cooperate with you?" ”

Liszt choked, his inner thoughts shattered.

He was sure that he would win, and he felt that the Church of Truth would seize the opportunity to come to an agreement with them.

Why refuse?

That's what the Church of Truth is supposed to do!

With a nod, the Aztec Empire will join the Northern Alliance!

The Church of Truth doesn't have to pay anything at all!

Liszt couldn't understand, and he didn't want to give up hope, gritted his teeth and asked: "Grand Pope, can I ask, is it you who oppose us at the meeting?" ”

"No, I abstained."

"Can I ask you what you think?" Liszt's heart lit a flame of hope again, if Ma Wei expressed his support for cooperation with the Doomsday Party, then the outcome of the meeting could be reversed!

"I did think about working with you."

Ma Wei said truthfully: "But that is only my personal opinion, in this matter, it must be subject to the decision of the General Assembly." ”

"Why?" Liszt was puzzled: "There are so many benefits to working with us, why not cooperate?" It's good for everyone! ”

"First, it's a matter of principle, and secondly."

Putting down the teacup, Ma Wei said expressionlessly:

"The Church of Truth is not afraid of challenges."
