If the Holy See is a theocratic state that represents the will of God, then the spiritual leader, and the Council of the Priests is its supreme authority. When the old pope reports to heaven, the new pope is elected by the Council of Priests, which shows its importance, and most of the important affairs of the Holy See must be discussed and decided by the Council of Priests.

There were not many people who were qualified to enter the Council of Priests, including twelve cardinal archbishops, elders of the Supreme Seminary, mentors of the Supreme Knight's Training Camp, etc., the total number of people was only fifty, but the Council of Priests held by the Holy See this time was attended by less than thirty people, because sixteen people were killed in the battle of Tey Castle, including eight elders, seven mentors, and even a cardinal archbishop. Cardinal Becker, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the Holy See, also rushed to Tei Castle with the reinforcements mobilized by Joge to take charge of logistics and rescue of the wounded, but unfortunately died in the melee.

The atmosphere of this emergency meeting, which had not been so badly damaged by the Holy See in hundreds of years, began with a brief moment of silence and prayer, and then got down to business when everyone was seated.

First assessing the gains and losses of this battle, the Holy See battle array under Tei City eliminated nearly 20,000 dark forces, basically destroying the dark creatures in most of the area of Roba Da 6. However, not counting the wounded members of the Holy See, there were only 472 people killed, seven dragoons were lost, and two dragoons were wounded and lost their combat effectiveness.

The Holy See has hundreds of millions of followers around the world, with millions of core believers and hundreds of thousands of magically trained people who master the power of miracles. The losses of four hundred and seventy-two people do not seem to be large, but these people are the core strength of the elite of Gambides, and they are also mobile combat forces directly controlled by the Holy See, and the losses of the fighters that Gambides can directly call on at any time have more than half.

This is different from the mundane concept of the army of the Middle Earth, and it is hard to imagine the concept of a battle formation of nearly a thousand mages and holy knights, a formidable and almost invincible force. It was actually a trump card for Cambydes to maintain his position, but it suffered a major loss under the city of Tey due to a miscalculation of the enemy situation and unexpected changes in the battlefield.

The Holy See looks a lot like a big business in a modern light. The dioceses located in various places are branches of the world, and they do not directly control any secular government, but serve as spiritual symbols of light, justice, and charity. It also has a role that ordinary people don't understand. It is to fight against the dark creatures of this world and those who have the power of miracles to cause chaos. It is a joint body based on regional partition, united by faith.

Therefore, although the Holy See's power in the secular realm is large, the mobile power that it can mobilize in action is limited, for example, it is unlikely that it will gather all the local magicians of the Mountain Demon Kingdom to fight against the Kunlun cultivators in the Zhixu Kingdom. Those people basically only perform the task of protecting the land in the Mountain Demon Country, and the maintenance of their position is largely due to the fact that Cambydes has the most powerful magic battle array.

Therefore, for the Holy See, this battle lost the most core human, material, and financial resources, and everyone made a simple assessment. The number of lost territories can be made up from among the Guardians of various countries, but it will take at least ten years to recover the combat effectiveness, which is still an optimistic estimate without any factors interfering and everything going well.

As everyone assessed how long it would take to recover, Jorge said in his heart, "Why is there always wishful thinking that a great power cannot be decayed, and no one has ever thought that this is the beginning of the decline of the Holy See?"

After assessing the damage, the Pope spoke. The old man looked a little haggard and tired, and his clear eyes were bloodshot. He said slowly in a deep voice: "In the battle of Tey Castle, although the Holy See has suffered losses. But our foundation has not been shaken, and God still blesses us, may the sacrificed souls rest in heaven. This battle has basically swept away the dark forces hidden in Roba Da6 and completely cleared the danger around us, and this sacrifice is worth it. Pressing matter. In addition to rebuilding the Guardians of the Knights of Cambydes and the Praetorian Guard, it is the candidate to add to the Council of Priests, no matter when. Talented and idealistic leaders and organizers are the most important assets. ...... Do you have any opinion on this?"

Fortimore stood up, drew a cross on his chest and said, "Your Majesty." Ladies and gentlemen, this war has brought heavy losses to Gambides, and I, as the initiator, did not anticipate the sudden changes in the battlefield, and I have a responsibility that cannot be escaped. I request to resign from my position as the chief instructor of the Supreme Knight Training Camp of Cambydes, to train dragoons in the jungle of Mania, and to restore the Dragoons of the Holy See as soon as possible. ”

He is quite tricky, knowing that he can't explain and take the initiative to stand up and resign. Then he applied for self-exile to train the Dragoons in the jungle of Mania, which seemed like a chore. From the chief instructor of the highest knight training camp in Cambydes, to the dragoon trainer who suffered in the jungle of Mania, Fortimore's calculation was very loud, and he lost the hidden secret power of his men in the battle of Tey City but did not get what he wanted, and began to fight dragons

Here's the idea.

The Pope looked calm. Shaking his head lightly, he said: "Lord Futimore doesn't have to blame himself too much, after all, the dark forces are massively assembled, and their power is powerful, in view of the fact that your ** and the trauma in your soul need to be recovered." I grant your request. ...... You still enjoy the exalted status of the Honorary Chief Instructor of the Supreme Knight Training Camp in Cambydes, and you don't have to go to the Manian Jungle. ...... Rest for a while, Yog, have you drawn up a list of candidates for the Council of Priests?"

Yog nodded: "I have discussed with you for a few days, and I have drafted an additional list of Supreme Seminary Elders and Supreme Knight Training Camp Instructors, please discuss it, it happened too suddenly. But the Holy See cannot stop functioning because of this, and I suggest that it must be decided at today's meeting. ”

The next topic is the reshuffling of the Holy See's hierarchy, and the list of additions is drawn up by Jorge, which is a great opportunity to take power, which means that one-third of the members of the Council of Priests will be personally promoted in his name. However, everyone recognized Yog's qualifications, and in the chaos of the battle at Tei Castle, Yog was in danger, and turned the situation around several times when the accident appeared, which can be said to have established the greatest merit and established his status.

When Jorge drafted the list, he had already consulted privately with the dignitaries present. The decision was made after balancing the interests of all parties, so the almost unanimous vote was not questioned. At the end of the discussion, the biggest personnel change in the Holy See took place - Cardinal Cardinal Cardinal Powell stepped down. He served as an elder at the Supreme Seminary of Cambydes. And Jögg was promoted to cardinal cardinal archbishop. This is a position of authority second only to the papacy, and he can act in place of the pope when it is inconvenient for the pope to conduct affairs himself. Sitting in this position at such a young age has already made it clear to everyone that he is the next pope.

There were two cardinal archbishops who needed to be added, and at Jorge's suggestion, Archbishop Marco was recruited to return to the Gambides. Succeeds Cardinal Becker of the Fallen Land. Marco was promoted, and he became the only Archbishop of Chi to return to Cambydes unharmed for several consecutive terms. It doesn't look like his work is so vigorous. However, the Zhixu Diocese has expanded its power very much in the dark, and it has not caused as much conflict as the previous ones, which shows that this is a talent.

Marco was nominated by Dempredo to be the Archbishop of Zhixu, and was commended and promoted under Jorge, a nomination that was pleasing to both sides. Marco will be in charge of not only all the magic craftsmen and materials of the Holy See, but also the finances of the Holy See. It's a very important role, and Jorge keeps him in his own hands. Another co-opted cardinal is named Martin. He is a reformer in the Holy See, and has been committed to the innovation and exploration of theological doctrine. Rival with Fortimore. This time Fortimore fell, and the power of his faction rose, and Jorge promoted Martin from the perspective of the balance of power.

Everything was arranged, and the most difficult discussions began. Who will succeed him as the chief instructor of the Supreme Knight Training Camp of the Gambides? Despredo nominated Avtena Wiener and said: "Miss Wiener has rejected the call of the Holy See and is unwilling to return to Gambides. ”

The Pope sighed: "She's a talent, it's a pity she's too stubborn." There is no need to force it, as long as she remains loyal to God and not an enemy of the Holy See, forget about her. ”

Discuss the final result. Fortimore's lieutenant in the Supreme Knight Training Camp Ben Leden was promoted to the position of chief instructor, which was entirely based on seniority, because there was really no better candidate, and it was the only victory that Fortimore won in this meeting after losing face.

The next topic was "post-war reconstruction", and Jorge did not express his opinion. The Pope gave everyone a free voice, and the participants were quickly divided into two factions, one of which was to recuperate. The other school of thought is to feed war with war.

The view of recuperation is represented by Depredo, who believes that after the battle of Tey Castle, the vitality of Gambides has been greatly damaged, and although the foundation of the world has not been shaken, the power of the Holy See needs time to recover, and for the time being, it should not take too drastic expansion moves, and do not make enemies again. Large-scale conflicts should be avoided as much as possible during this period.

Represented by Ben Leden, who holds the view of war and war, he believes that the evil forces that God's light does not shine on in this world will not stop because of the recuperation of the Holy See, which has always replenished its strength by triumphing through expansion. The damage to the Holy See is severe, and it is very troubled financially alone. The reconstruction work is not as simple as imagined, and it will cost a lot of materials and money.

The world's largest uncultivated wilderness is Zhixuda6, where the Holy See has gained a foothold and should take advantage of this opportunity to step up its expansion, and as long as the light of God shines on Zhixuda6 and becomes a symbol of faith in light and justice there, then the losses in the battle of Tei are insignificant.

The two sides are at loggerheads. When Jorge finally spoke, he asked Fortimore, "Lord Fortimore, you are still the Honorary Chief Mentor, what do you think about this?"

Fortimore: "Although I am stepping down, I should still contribute my strength and wisdom to the Holy See, and I agree with the strategy of Archmaster Ben Leden to make up for the losses with his exhibition. Chief Mentor Ben Leden has established a secret force in the northwest of the Zhixu Country,

Practitioners play a great role in distraction. In addition, as far as I know, a very important person has been raised in the area of Yosh Kangxi, and it should be harvest time now. ”

Yoge smiled, "Are you talking about that Mr. Gao De Keyin Shang Yunfei, he can indeed cause trouble for Kunlun cultivators at the right time, but I never thought he could be a true leader." ”

Fotimore: "Of course he won't, he's just our ally, he's useful in due time, and the glory still belongs to God, to the Holy See." ”

Yog said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Homoro III: "Lord Fortimore's proposal is also reasonable, and it can be considered, my dear Cardinal Cardinal, what is your decision on this?" Letting Jorge make decisions about this matter also allowed him to establish his authority on his first day in office.

Yog looked around at the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "I think both sides have a good proposal, suggesting that Abbot Dempredo and Cardinal Marco be in charge of the reconstruction of the Knights of the Gambides and the Praetorian Guard, and Mentor Ben Leden and Cardinal Martin are in charge of Zhixu's strategy. I have one more proposal, and I hope that Lord Fortimore will understand and support it. ”

Fortimore: "What is the proposal? as long as it can serve the Holy See." I'm all for it. ”

Jorge: "Marco will be transferred back to Cambydes, the position of Archbishop of Zhixu is vacant, and I propose that Master Fotimore succeed him as Honorary Chief Instructor of the Supreme Knight Training Camp of Gambides. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the venue was a little chaotic, and everyone was whispering, let Fortimore be the archbishop of Zhixu, this is a three-level demotion in a row, and the punishment is heavy enough. Only one honorary title of Chief Tutor remained. The Pope couldn't help but frown: "Yog, why did you propose this?"

Yog: "Since Lord Fortimore agrees with the strategy of making up for the losses with Zhan, let him carry it out himself." Lord Fotimore had suffered humiliation under Bai Shaoliu, so go to the land of shame to re-establish his merits, this is what a real knight does! Lord Fotimore, what is your own opinion? No one will force you. ”

Fortimore frowned at first, but then his eyes lit up as if he had figured out something, and he nodded resolutely: "This is exactly what I want, and I strongly ask His Majesty the Pope and the adults present here to approve this proposal of Lord Yog, and I personally insist on succeeding to Archbishop Zhixu." In the name of God, I will dedicate everything I have to the Holy See and to God!"

Jorge was only a proposal, but in exchange for Fortimore's insistence on the oath, and it was difficult for others to oppose it, the proposal passed smoothly, and the meeting ended. After the meeting, all the forces of the Gambides began to move, and the undercurrent of the Holy See surged. Jorge also became busy.

......

Not to mention Yog's activities in the Gambides, Bai Shaoliu finally opened his eyes on this day, Qingchen was not in the room at this time, and Wu Tong stood quietly like a shadow beside him. Seeing Bai Shaoliu open his eyes, Wu Tong asked, "Owner, how is Chi Yao's situation?"

Bai Shaoliu was not surprised to see Wu Tong when he opened his eyes, as if he had known that he was standing beside him, looked at the Red Refining Divine Bow in his hand and said, "The people in this world who can communicate with me are you and Chi Yao." Chi Yao was injured by Fortimore despite his efforts, and he is no longer in serious trouble. It's a pity that my mana is too depleted to heal her injuries here, so I can only re-seal her into the Divine Bow to sleep, and then use the method of refining weapons to repair the Red Refining Divine Bow after I return to Zahuaiqiu. ...... It was so dangerous, the bow in Fortimore's hand was broken by her, but she didn't want to think about it, her own bow couldn't be damaged under any circumstances!"

Wu Tong: "Chi Yao's heart for the owner of the village is true, but fortunately, there is no major situation this time." ”

Bai Shaoliu: "It's too late when something happens, she's different from others...... Why are you here now, I didn't see you in Tej?"

Wu Tong smiled embarrassedly: "I blew the trumpet for three days, slept for three days, missed all the good shows, and didn't witness your duel with Fotimore, it's a pity!"

Bai Shaoliu also smiled: "You are so interesting, a good show is so fast that Gao Yu retreated towards you, and I didn't see the final ending." ...... You're here, where is Qingchen?"

Wu Tong: "Qingchen went to find Gu Ying, it seems that she has something to ask her, and the two of them don't know where to go to discuss." ”

Xiaobai asked very strangely: "Qingchen has something to ask Gu Ying, what can it be?"

Wu Tong scratched the back of his head: "I guess it's about Miss Helen, you don't know yet, Miss Gu has done a lot of things in the past few days, and even the rudder of Zahuai Mountain Villa in Luoba Da 6 has been established, just waiting for you to nod." ”

Bai Shaoliu: "What? Sitting on the 6-minute rudder of Huaishan Villa Luoba! We are not opening a fragrant hall, where is the rudder, what's going on?"

Wu Tong: "It's Teyi Castle, the rudder is just a joke from my mouth, Miss Gu doesn't mean that, she can understand what she planned." He gave Xiaobai a detailed introduction to Gu Yingdi's aftermath measures-
