On the Holy Mountain, as the meeting of the Terran Alliance approached, the atmosphere within the Holy See became more and more tense.

Although the Blood Moon Horn was returned, the Holy See's past black history was still so much more "100 million" lost.

Under the deliberate promotion of various countries, messages that are unfavorable to the Holy See continue to be transmitted in the continent of Aslanth.

There are even some local churches that openly declare that the headquarters of the Holy See are under the control of the devil and will no longer receive any orders from the headquarters.

Even the activities of the Holy See in the Orc Empire have been poked out. It is rumored that this orc invasion is the revenge of the Alpha Kingdom after offending the Holy See.

In short, the current public opinion is very unfavorable to the Holy See, and the people who eat melons are overwhelmed. Regarding the Holy See, there are more melons in the last year than in the past few decades.

There were more and more crimes, and Pius VII didn't bother to explain. The main reason is that there are too many flaws left, which cannot withstand scrutiny at all, and the more you explain, the more problems will be exposed.

"Bishop Sauron, where is the PR for the nations? How many supporters do we have now? ”

It's an awkward topic, and kingship and theocracy are inherently opposed. Even some countries that usually have good relations with the Holy See do not want to see the Holy See's hand stretched out more and more.

"Your Majesty, the situation is a little delicate now. Although we have won the support of some countries, most of them do not carry much weight.

Even the Frankish rivals, the Kingdom of Libya, were very cautious in their attitude on this issue.

Maybe our previous action was too big and caused everyone's bad associations, so ......"

Seeing that the Pope's face was not right, the words came to his lips, and Bishop Sauron swallowed them back.

Admitting that you are wrong is far more difficult than making excuses. Even everyone knows that the bad situation that is now unfavorable to the Holy See is caused by their death.

"Okay, it's enough to have some small countries to support it. The north is in the dark, the orc army has just made a breakthrough, and the other alien races are also starting to move.

At this juncture, the Franks attacked us, and the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

As long as we deny all our accusations against them, the matter will soon pass. At best, it's a bit of a reputation. ”

Pius VII said with a gloomy face.

It seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is a deep helplessness.

Successive popes have done this, but during his tenure, it was detonated.

On the one hand, he encountered a male protagonist who was not easy to mess with, which ignited the fuse of contradictions; On the other hand, after the expansion of the Holy See, the expenses continued to increase, and in order to fill the shortfall, the means were excessive.

The reactions of various countries were fierce, and most of them were stimulated by the great movement of the Holy See, awakening the terrifying memories that were sleeping in everyone's hearts.

If the expansion of the army had not stimulated everyone's sensitive nerves, and the Franks only shouted loudly, the countries would not have followed so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the armies of the northern orcs are raging. The Alpha Kingdom is still able to hold on, but the Duchy of Moxie and the Warhammer Kingdom are already in danger.

Especially the Principality of Moxi, if there is no external assistance, it is unknown whether it will survive this year.

In addition to the conflict between us and the Frankish Kingdom, another major theme of the Terran Alliance meeting must be to send troops to support the three northern kingdoms.

Fighting against aliens is the foundation on which the Terran alliance is built. As was the case in the past, the proposal to send troops to support the northern front would have passed.

Now that we are infamous for colluding with orcs, we may not be able to explain it if we are just putting on a show as before. ”

Blake struggled to perform.

The return of the Blood Moon Horn has temporarily spared him, the head of the crumbling Knights of Judgment, but his position is still precarious.

The more times like this, the more you have to make achievements. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be driven home by the opponent, after all, the Holy See has also paid a big price to recover the Blood Moon Horn.

In particular, the crime of colluding with the orcs is also related to the Knights of Trial. Although he is acting on orders, this kind of thing can't let the Pope take the blame, right?

Pius VII's brow furrowed.

Now the position of the Holy See in the Terrans is very embarrassing. Nominally supreme power, he is the leader of the religious community.

In fact, they, the religious leaders, have long been reduced to rubber stamps. Most of the time, it's used to carry the pot.

Even if he, the pope, gives orders, whether he can carry them out depends on everyone's mood.

Now that the trouble has reached this point, even the position of nominal religious leader may be lost if he is not careful.

"I'm afraid we will have to participate in this support operation. However, it is better to delay as much time as possible, and it is better to drag it out until the situation in the north erodes. ”

Patronus VII said ruthlessly.

As a king of political struggle, Pius VII knows very well that the Holy See in the whirlpool of public opinion is difficult to get out of now.

The best thing to do is to make a big news that attracts the attention of the outside world and downplays the existence of the Holy See.

If you can get some credit in the fight against aliens, and you can use it to publicize, it will be even more perfect.

……

Rutasia, as the venue for this meeting of the Terran Alliance, is now busy preparing.

In all previous meetings of the Terran Alliance, many delegates participated. Not only countries should send delegations, but also a number of big nobles and powerful groups should also send people to participate.

Three hundred and sixty-five councillors represent the highest authority of the entire Terran Alliance.

When there is a change of dynasty and the rise and fall of power, the number of members of parliament also shifts, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the total number of seats.

A faction has multiple seats, as long as its own strength matches, it is also legitimate.

After all, parliamentary seats represent not only power, but also obligations.

When it comes to fighting aliens, assignments are assigned by seat.

Generally speaking, the fiefdom nobles, mage associations, and alchemy associations of various countries ...... All have their own seats.

The level of a country's voice in parliament can be roughly inferred by counting the number of representatives from that country.

As the first power of the human race, the Frankish kingdom naturally has the second largest number of seats, and the most seats are still the Holy See.

It's just that the gap between the two sides is not big, and coupled with the awkward position of the Holy See in the alliance, it is the Frankish Kingdom that has the most important voice instead.

As the ruler of the kingdom, Charles III is looking down on all directions with great vigour.

He has arrogant capital, even the once awesome Holy See, but now he can't get out of power.

"Your Majesty, this is a proposal prepared by the eleven northern countries, and they hope to get our support."

As he spoke, the Foreign Secretary had already handed the paperwork to Charles III.

After receiving the paperwork, Charles III did not mean to look at it at all, and asked casually: "Where has the situation in the north developed?"

Could it be that the Alpha Kingdom, the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Principality of Moxi combined, have not lasted as long as the Alpha Kingdom in the past? ”

There are more allies, and the pressure is shared together, and life is naturally better.

But having more allies does not mean that the alliance will be able to hold out for a longer time under the iron heel of the orc army.

Charles III seemed to be asking, but in fact he was secretly mocking.

When it comes to life and death, the three northern countries are all able to intrigue, which is really unsightly for him.

"Your Majesty, the most dangerous thing right now is the Duchy of Moxi. They underestimated the madness of the orcs too much, and the preparation before the battle was not sufficient.

The fall of Augustburg, the most important line of defense, put the Duchy of Moxi and the Kingdom of Warhammer into strategic passivity.

Especially the Duchy of Moxi, they are now gritting their teeth for support. Although several neighbors have said that they will send troops to rescue, there is no reinforcement in place yet.

Comparatively speaking, the performance of the Alpha Kingdom is much better.

In addition to suffering a lot of losses in the early days of the war, which almost buried the army of a province; Overall, the performance is still good. ”

Jesús replied calmly.

The crisis is that of other countries, and the Frankish kingdom deep in the western continent does not feel the threat of orcs.

No matter how bad the situation is, he believes in the power of the Frankish kingdom to turn the tide.

After all, this is the age of the human race, and the orcs can only be regarded as a minor trouble. Unless all the aliens fight together, the Terrans only need one hand to suppress the orcs.

"Last night I received a letter from Caesar III.

In his letter, he promised to persuade the northern nations to join us in our plan for the new papacy as long as we did our part to push the nations to send troops and wreak havoc on the orc empire in the midst of a great war.

What do you guys think? ”

Charles III asked with a smile.

The establishment of another Holy See was a plan he had been planning for a long time. It's just that the involvement is too great, and the countries of the human race are also arguing on this issue.

In order to win over other countries, the Frankish kingdom also made many efforts.

It's a pity that everyone is not stupid.

The Holy See is indeed hateful, and everyone does not mind stepping them into the abyss if possible.

The question is, is the new papacy led by the Kingdom of the Franks getting along with each other?

The current Holy See is a rubber stamp, and as long as you ignore them, at most you will occasionally disgust people.

The unknown new papacy, combined with the support of the Frankish kingdom, who knows what will happen next?

People are always full of fear of what they are not sure about.

There were not enough supporters, so Charles III's plan was forced to shelve, and he could only ruin the reputation of the Holy See first, and then slowly carry out the plot.

Now the opportunity has come, with the support of the northern countries and the Franks' own younger brother, the foundation for the establishment of a new papacy will be in place.

If a few more countries were fooled into participating, it would almost change the color of the Terran countries on half of the continent.

Even if the Holy See were to form a conquest army, I am afraid that the rest of the countries would only have to deal with it.

After all, there are alien races peeking outside, and no one dares to provoke a large-scale civil war.

"Your Majesty, Caesar III's promises should be reliable. The Alpha Kingdom and the Holy See are also deeply resentful, and it is not surprising that they have the opportunity to pull the Holy See off the horse.

The only question is whether they will be able to deliver on their promise to persuade the countries of the North to join in.

But this kind of thing is a good thing for the kingdom after all.

Success or failure, it never hurts to give it a try. ”

Prime Minister Bergson responded with a smile.

If you can't win over the northern countries, you can also pull the Alpha Kingdom. When it comes to confronting the Holy See, no one dislikes many allies.

……

The fluttering flags tell the hardships of a thousand-mile march in the summer heat.

Crossing the border, Hudson always felt a sense of loss and unease in his heart.

Fighting in a foreign land, it is not possible to be vigilant at all times.

Fortunately, the griffin cavalry brought by Crown Prince Caesar played a role in the reconnaissance, which made Hudson feel a little more at ease.

Hudson also refused the invitation of the nobles along the way, and left the barracks as little as possible.

These vignettes did not cause the slightest ripple. The guest of honor for the banquet was Crown Prince Caesar, not his little viscount.

If you can send an invitation, it's all for face. If you don't participate in the banquet, there is really not much of him, and there is not much of him.

This is still based on the premise that the name of "the elite of the Wright County Army" is far and wide, otherwise people don't even know who Hudson is.

Watching Crown Prince Caesar wander among the nobles from all walks of life, Hudson was envious.

This kind of ability is not something that can be learned if you want to. It's hard to do this without a great talent for communication.

Of course, the most important thing is to cast a good tire.

The status has gone up, and someone will help to explain positively in every word and deed.

Polite, that's aristocratic temperament.

Wild and uninhibited, that is arrogant and informal.

In short, every word and deed of the big man is right.

If you find that there is a problem, it must be your own problem.

It would be better for Crown Prince Caesar to go out to banquets a little more, so that the speed of the march can be reasonably reduced.

It's a pity that Hudson's wishful thinking didn't start after all.

Within a few days, all the posts of the banquet disappeared, and even the nobles who came to visit were fewer.

With a little brain, you will know that it is not that Crown Prince Caesar's face is small, but it is more likely that the high-level officials of the Principality of Mossi will intervene.

The front line is still waiting for help, and the rear is eating and drinking and dragging its feet, what is this?

After all, the beating of the orcs is not enough, if the Principality of Moxi is beaten a few more times, it is best to almost destroy the country, and keep them all obedient.

Looking at the performance of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom, you can know that even if the nobles along the way know that Crown Prince Caesar is in the army, everyone will come out at most to take a picture.

There is no such thing as a high-profile banquet. Whoever dares to violate this unspoken rule will immediately receive a call-up order from the front.

During the war, frugality was practiced, and there were few banquets except for celebration banquets.

Even Crown Prince Caesar left the royal capital and went to serve in the army, but there was no farewell banquet.

The tense atmosphere soon affected Crown Prince Caesar's mood.

After all, he is a teenager who has just reached his twenties, and he has not yet developed the iron face of an old fox, and he can hide all his emotions.

It's okay on the outside, there must be something on the inside.

Crown Prince Caesar, who had nowhere to release his energy, quickly vented his anger on the teams behind.

With a few guards, he mounted his mount and went to the rear camps to inspect them.

Hudson didn't know what was going on, but Crown Prince Caesar's face was very ugly anyway.

It was impossible to get up and scold, but Hudson still couldn't escape the trouble.

Under the backdrop of his colleagues, as the commander of the only "elite legion", Hudson's status is also rising.

I have never been absent from all major military meetings. Most of the time, you'll be asked for advice. ……

"We will arrive in the capital of the Duchy of Moxie tomorrow, and now it is only more than two hundred miles away from the front line, what is Viscount Hudson's plan?"

Listening to the crown prince's questioning, Hudson secretly complained to himself. Is this the kind of use of him as a strategist, or is it the kind that just works without getting paid?

It is impossible to shirk, and when it comes to the next task assignment, you have to find a way to fight for it.

"Your Highness, the Principality of Moxi is in an urgent situation, and it is likely that we will be transferred to the front line soon.

The Leyte County Regiment has not yet adapted to the local climate and environment, and it is easy to cause horrific consequences when they venture into battle.

Personally, I would suggest that you rest for a while in the Duchy of Moxi, and then join this war after reinforcements from all walks of life have gathered. ”

Originally, I wanted to say that the water and soil are not adapted, but this is an era of magic technology, and you have to take anything if you don't accept it with a bottle of potion.

As for whether there will be sequelae, it is difficult to say.

simply changed to a more ethereal rhetoric, directly hinting at Crown Prince Caesar that he didn't want to go to war yet.

This is the Duchy of Moxi, not your own territory. There is no reason to sacrifice one's own strength for the benefit of others.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, rest assured, I will ask these questions. No matter how the situation in the Duchy of Moxie develops, the Leythshire Legion will not go to war anytime soon! ”

Crown Prince Caesar assured arrogantly.

Elite is different from cannon fodder, if such a force is defeated in the Duchy of Moxie and has not achieved a brilliant record, the crown prince will not be able to parry.

From the moment it won the "elite name", the Leyshire Regiment was highly expected by all parties and became a model of publicity.

Caesar is no exception, and the army in front of him directly affects the key to whether he can make a contribution.

The fighter plane didn't find out, how could he be willing to put the most important chips in his hand into the front line so early, and fight with the orc army.

As for when to act, Caesar was in no hurry.

The top of the Alpha Kingdom did not expect much from the Principality of Moxi at all. As long as you can delay time, defeating the orc army is not in the realm of anything.

It seems that reinforcements are being sent, but what is actually sent is confidence.

Sending the Leythshire Legion over so quickly is essentially for the Principality of Moxie to look up and down, to strengthen their determination to fight the orcs to the death.

Seeing this scene, Hudson's nervous heart was slightly soothed.

As long as Crown Prince Caesar doesn't nod, the Principality of Moxie will be easy to handle. No matter how tense the situation on the front line is, it will have to wait until the rest is completed.

The high-intensity march along the way, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Hudson, an officer, was a little tired.

is originally a pseudo-elite, if you drag your tired body to the battlefield again, wouldn't it be a gift to others.

Although in the minds of the soldiers of Wright, the orcs were also the image of slaves in the mountain territory, but it was only used for political propaganda.

The soldiers could believe that if the commander followed the letter, it would be the end of the calf.
