Dongfang Mu lay on the bed, not moving.

When the whole country was shaken and the whole people were excited, he, the culprit who single-handedly ran the Eastern Crusade, did not want to move at this time.

It's still the same bed, it's still the same room. Even though he is now a gold-level adventurer, he has not yet moved out of the free hotel provided by the adventure guild when he first came here.

Now that he has moved to live in the Van Pou family's estate, there will be nothing, and no one dares to gossip about the gold level.

However, there are many people with mixed eyes, and it will always be uncomfortable to live in the big village.

What's more, Nia and Catalia, the fiancée, always feel like they want to touch.

To avoid this, it's better to stay in the old place.

After his manipulation, Altalia went on a crusade to the east, and the initial goal was finally achieved.

The command of the Crusade Army, consisting of the king and three Dark Gold ranks, and he himself was incorporated into the vanguard troops.

He is confident that he can control the general direction of the entire Eastern Crusade Army by means, and then, he only needs to give some hints at the right time, and it will not be difficult for Altalia to drag down the Northland Quad Alliance.

The only fly in the ointment is that the time for him to complete the goal is quite late from the expectation, and the other two doppelgangers, Ximen Feng and Wang Xiaoming

However, after spending some time in the country, he found another second, third, and fourth goal.

Now, it's time to accomplish another goal.

"My lord, it's almost time." Nia said to the Oriental Wood lying on the bed.

Dongfang Mu turned over and got up.

"Let's go."

At night, several horse-drawn carriages converged on the post road towards Asteria.

Sitting in these carriages are big people who can shake a party by throwing out their names.

Cardinal.

In the whole of Altria, there are three cardinals.

Above the red cloak is the Pope.

They are under one man and above ten thousand in the whole church.

And the church is a behemoth in the kingdom, and the other forces can only be regarded as stars and moons in the face of the church.

These cardinals have a swagger on the outside, even in front of the king.

This is the arrogant cardinal.

Yesterday, the Pope issued a royal decree summoning all the cardinals to the city, and so they came.

Three red-clothed men entered the chamber one after another and sat down around the round table.

It was a secret room for the Pope and the Cardinals, with no windows on all sides, only candlesticks, and walls covered with dark curtains.

The whereabouts of several people are completely secret, and only each other knows about them.

"What about Kane?"

"I don't know."

"As a newcomer, he shouldn't have all arrived here, but he still has to wait for him, right?"

Because the fourth cardinal, the new Kane, has not yet arrived, and the three veteran cardinals immediately made a dissatisfied voice.

"Ahem, forget it," said the Pope, "he is in the city, and he must not be without a count." ”

"Why don't you wait for him?" It was proposed.

"Don't be too anxious," said the Pope, "just a few of us, and it doesn't hurt to wait." ”

As soon as the words fell, the four of them felt that the ground was trembling.

The candles were messy, and fine stones fell overhead.

"What's going on......"

The question went unanswered, and the ceiling fell vertically in the air, just crushing the four people sitting around below.

Immediately, two figures also fell and landed on the ceiling.

It was Dongfang Mu and Nia.

Blood slowly trickled down from beneath the ceiling.

"Perfect." Dongfang Mu stared at the blood and carried the giant sword in his hand on his shoulder.

"If they hadn't sat so close, they wouldn't have been able to catch them all." Nia next to her said.

"Who told them to make this secret room so small?" Dongfang Mu said, "Okay, before being discovered, let's leave." ”

He knocked over the candlestick, igniting the curtain that hung on the wall, and the light soon spread from all sides.

At the same time, Kane had already brought people to the Knights.

He was sweating profusely, and the stranger had just told him that the Pope and the three cardinals would die at the same time.

He still couldn't accept this fact, and he couldn't believe that the Pope would die at the same time as the three reds in front of him so coincidentally.

But no matter his intuition, or the gambling nature of his personality, he still chose to believe him and act according to the advice.

The first three days after the Pope's death are the most important golden moments.

He must pinch the leaderless church power to his own maximum within this time period.

According to the order of succession, if all the Cardinals and the Pope die at the same time, then the successor of the Pope in the first place automatically becomes himself.

He now has nominal justice, and if he can't win the support of force, he will become a hot pot on a fire.

His current actions directly determine his future life.

Therefore, he came to the Order as soon as possible, and planned to use his eloquence to quickly take the Order into his hands.

……

Kane did not live up to Dongfang Mu's expectations.

Three days passed, and he used the fastest speed to hold the knights in his hands, and to encircle the Asterian defenders to the greatest extent.

Now the church city is in his hands.

More than half of the remaining district bishops have already surrendered to him, and some of the old and powerful district bishops "strong branches" can be quickly resolved by making a reasonable assassination or bribery plan.

Dongfang Mu is very satisfied with this result.

First, Kane, unlike the other clergy, was truly loyal to the Lord.

Second, he also knew that his position depended on Dongfang Mu's efforts in it, and Dongfang Mu was completely impossible for him to deal with.

In this way, Dongfang Mu completed a double clamp on him from two identities.

Wait until you officially become the dark gold level, and then through the king and princess, you can achieve complete domination of the country.

Unlike his previous useless vassals, the Kingdom of Altalia has a very good foundation, has developed peacefully for so many years, and the tribute provides a lot of points.

A conservative estimate is that if the effect of corruption is removed, the country can provide 300 points of input per day.

It only takes more than 3 months for his next key dominance policy to be pointed out.

When that policy point is out, the natural disaster forces will be completely liberated.

The current natural disaster forces, the general situation is roughly like this:

There are a total of 22 nests, of which 5 are originally laid, all of which are on the island of birth, and they are all level 3 nests. The territory is very well developed, and it has occupied the entire island, and with the offshore waters of the entire island, it can generate a huge amount of resources and various points every day.

There are 12 nests in Dongzhou, of which 3 along the coast are paved first, and the infrastructure has been built, and the nests are all level 2 and are being upgraded to level 3.

Once these 3 nests reach level 3, the maintenance cost of the combat unit will be greatly reduced, and he will be able to explode without pressure.

The other 9 inland nests, although they occupy the best quality plots on the mainland, have not yet developed due to lack of time, and can only barely fill the defenses first.

The other 5 nests are on the Xiying Continent. The trouble on Dongzhou's side has not been dealt with yet, and he heard that the vassal countries on Xiying's side are making a rebellion, and he doesn't have time to go to Xiyingpu City.

He planned that after all the player forces in the northern continent of Dongzhou were arranged, his military technology should already be very strong at that time, and he would not bother to make trouble with Xiying at that time, and whoever disobeyed would blow him up.

At this moment, Ximen Feng on the other side of the Misty Forest happened to be in trouble.
