Chapter 490: Zell the Thief
……
This time to defend against the invasion of the Church, Gervais prepared to suppress it with cannons and muskets.
Bernard Blacksmith is already on his way to the City of Glory, and as soon as he arrives, he will be able to take the original blacksmiths of the City of Glory and start forging cannons and muskets in large quantities.
As for the nitrate ore, Gervais also asked them to bring Vali over, and when the time comes, exchange it for a blue kiwi fruit and give it to it, then Vali can become a pokemon, the space will be expanded tenfold, and the nitrate ore can be increased again.
……
While Gervais's side was in full swing to deal with the Church, Pope Longfellow was also holding a meeting to arrange an attack on the City of Glory.
Today, although Longfellow is still injured, he is able to move freely, and when his injuries are completely healed in a short time, it will be the time for them to launch a general attack on the Duchy of Jean.
"Bishop Ferdinand, tell me about the movements of the two principalities in the past few days!"
Longfellow himself was very aware of the movements of the Duchy of Jean in the past few days, but the rest of the church could not know about it, so he first asked Ferdinand, the bishop in charge of intelligence, to explain it to everyone.
"Yes, sir!"
Ferdinand, of course, had no opinion, and respectfully answered the Pope, and then addressed everyone.
"According to the latest news, Lawrence, the king of the Duchy of Jean, died of his wounds the day after returning to the City of Glory, and now the king of the Duchy of Jean is the knight of the white flag called Gervais."
"And, King Hayden of the Duchy of Alban, has shown his allegiance to the new king and has become a vassal count of the Duchy of Jean!"
"At present, there are more than 20,000 soldiers in the Glory City of the Duchy of Jean, most of whom are elite."
"And they're reinforcing the defenses of the City of Glory, and they're also stepping up forging two weapons called the Little Steel Cannon and the Musket."
"Although these two weapons don't do much damage to the knight of the title, the damage to ordinary soldiers is considerable! We, the soldiers I captured, had seen his might. ”
"At the moment, these are the news from the spies from within the City of Glory!"
With that, Ferdinand nodded to Pope Longfellow before sitting down again.
After listening to Ferdinand's words, the people below did not talk about anything.
Because the church is not a principality of aristocracy, the hierarchy here is even more stringent, and at this moment the pope is present, no one dares to speak much when they are not allowed to talk.
Even if they were to be discussed, the final decision on the matter would be in the hands of Pope Longfellow.
"The situation in the Duchy of Jean is now known! The pagans are not willing to be enveloped by divine grace, so we need to wipe them out of the island once and for all, and make it a place where we can welcome the development of the new gods. ”
"Although the Duchy of Jean has a White Flag Knight as king, I have already figured out a countermeasure, so you don't have to worry."
White Flag Knight!
Even in the Divine Continent, it is an existence that cannot be underestimated.
Now there is such a white flag knight on this lonely island, and he will seriously injure himself, which will put a lot of pressure on his subordinates.
Therefore, he directly made a guarantee at this meeting to let his subordinates work with peace of mind.
As for how to deal with Gervais, for the sake of secrecy, Longfellow naturally wouldn't tell them.
"Ferdinand!"
With that, Pope Longfellow set his sights on Ferdinand again.
"My lord, my subordinates are here!"
"News has come from the temple, and the orcs have already negotiated, promising to send troops in advance this year! So you sent the word to the Duchy of Jean and ordered them to get started! ”
"Yes, sir! The subordinates will order them to open the teleportation array later."
Ferdinand immediately responded.
In his heart, he secretly said that the sudden appearance of the White Flag Knight really made the temple higher-ups anxious.
Although the orcs have cooperated with the Templars, in previous years, the orcs would only come out in the dead of winter and come here through portals.
Because the orcs need to raid the human territory of the Holy Continent in the autumn of every year, the orcs are naturally reluctant to send cannon fodder here at this time.
It is only in the dead of winter that the orcs will begin to survive the fittest due to lack of food, driving the weaker races here to plunder and leave them to fend for themselves, and then return to them in the spring of the following year.
At that time, not only had the weak been eliminated, but the remaining orcs could return to the sacred continent to work as coolies, farming and hunting for other powerful orcs as slaves.
And this year, if the orcs can promise to let these orcs cooperate with the temple operation in the autumn, it will definitely have to pay a big price.
"Conid!"
"Your Majesty, the villain!"
"Those captured soldiers will be managed by your Duchy of Xis in the future, and you have to let them make enough siege equipment as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Conid, the king of the Duchy of Xis, was completely devoid of his majesty in front of the pope, as if he were really a lowly servant.
"Very good, then you guys go out first!"
Now that the Church and the Duchy of Jean have started a big war on the surface, this time it is a collision of strengths, one side attacking the other and the other reaping, and Longfellow has no other superfluous things to explain to these people.
"Zell, you stay!"
"Yes! My lord! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, the people in the council hall retreated, and only the man named by Pope Longfellow remained.
This person named Zeer was in his thirties, his appearance was mediocre, he was inconspicuous anywhere, and there was no trace of cultivation on his body, no different from ordinary people.
In addition to this, he did not have a staff in his hand, indicating that he was not a magician.
"Zel, I'll leave the task of solving that Gervais to you this time!"
"My lord! The teleporter reel arrived? ”
Zell asked.
Zell is a thief, and a very good thief.
Although he can't see any fighting spirit on his body, in fact, his real strength is the silver knight, and the reason why he can't see cultivation is just because he has cultivated special secret skills.
"Yes, the messenger has already sent the teleportation scroll!"
"Don't worry, sir! Now that he has the teleportation scroll, his subordinates will definitely make that Gervais disappear forever! ”
"Hmmm! I'm very relieved that you are doing something, and you did a good job of the Earl of Odell of the Jones family last time! ”
Pope Longfellow nodded and said approvingly, obviously taking this subordinate named Zell very seriously.
"The subordinates don't dare to take credit, it's all because the temple gave the subordinates a teleportation scroll, otherwise, with the strength of the subordinates, if they really assassinate the White Flag Knight, there is only half a chance that they can succeed!"
"Huh! Zell, you're still young, you're only thirty years old now, and although the teleportation scroll is also precious, you are what the temple needs most! ”
"Lord Xie values it, and his subordinates must swear allegiance to the temple and welcome the arrival of the new god!"
When Zell heard Pope Longfellow's words, he was immediately filled with gratitude and excitedly shouted out his words of allegiance.
"Well, then you go and get ready! I'll have the teleportation scroll delivered to you, and the date is set for the night before the big battle. ”
"The sudden disappearance of their king at that time will surely catch them off guard, and when they attack the city, they will be able to reduce our losses!"
"Yes! My lord! ”
