After sending Orlan away, Franklin returns to his office to see Zero standing in front of a plasma plate showing a topographical map of the Western Continent.

A striking marking line crossed the map, and to the south of that line was the area occupied by the Poseidon Order, including the city of Cage. Zero's gaze landed north of the marker, and he looked intently at Sauron's territory with a fierce look.

When Franklin came in, Zero didn't even look back, but said, "You're just in time, come and see where our next target should be?"

"I want to know more, you plan to fight all the way to Rome, in that case, Pope Paul probably won't agree, right?"

Zero smiled: "Of course not, so he must force Sauron down from power in internal affairs before I enter the city of Rome, so that he can have the capital to negotiate peace with me." Otherwise, he will worry that I will pretend to be a real person and sit on the throne of the king of this continent. ”

"Would you do that?"

"If Paul didn't have that strength...... Zero said solemnly, "I would!"

Franklin nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved." ”

Zero Qi said: "I thought you were going to say that I was going to go back on my word." ”

"That's just the idea of mediocrity, which strong person does not adapt to the situation of the times to create the most beneficial situation for himself, if he sticks to the so-called promise, he will never reach the peak of the realm. The giant said disdainfully, he himself was a figure sitting at the pinnacle of an era, and he was naturally qualified to say this.

"I didn't think that far ahead, but if the order that was finally restored was brought back to the continent because of an incompetent pope, I would always feel sorry for the soldiers who died in battle. "Zero stalls.

Franklin didn't discuss the issue with him, and the giant walked up to the plasma plate, and with a sweep of his gaze, a large finger landed on a point on the map. It was a castle with the words "City of Rocks" next to it: "If it were me, I would choose this place." ”

"Same as I thought. Zero smiled and said, "The Jade Stone City is located in the northern stronghold, and it is the key point of the entire northern region. If it is laid, it will be a strong wake-up call for both Sauron and Paul. After that, Sauron should be tempted to come to us for a decisive battle, right?"

"You can't be wrong about that. It's just that it's winter now, and yesterday there was a new snowfall, and now the road conditions and radiant snow are not conducive to long-distance marches. It was more than 2,000 kilometers from us to the city of rocks, and by the time we arrived, many of the soldiers were probably sick. Franklin frowned.

Zero patted him on the arm and said, "Even if you think so, then Zoro will definitely think that these three months of cold winter will be a truce, but I want to make him miscalculate." But you're right, ordinary soldiers can't march in snow, so this time, let's go out to the Trident, and ordinary soldiers will stay in the fortress and other bases to train. ”

"I'm afraid it's a little too strong for the Trident, right?" Franklin worried.

Zero shook his head: "Enough, such an environment is not good for us, and the soldiers of the Knights will be an exception." I have already calculated that under such conditions, their combat power will drop by thirty percent, or even more than half. Besides, I don't plan to attack the city head-on, and I don't have to overthrow its walls to take the city of rocks. ”

"Since you say so, then do as you want, what do you need me to prepare for you?"

"Mobilize the members of the Trident, and tell Hewei that they have work to do. Give them two days to warm up and set off on the morning of the third day. Zero said: "But I need you to stay, we need to fight quickly in this siege, you are not good at speed, and the goal is too obvious." Second, I need someone to sit in the rear, and our Highness Paul has two more places to fulfill the oracle, and you are the only one who can command the Destiny except me. Therefore, this side is up to you. ”

Franklin had no objection and nodded, "I see." ”

While Zero was planning to attack the City of Rock, thousands of miles away in the city of New Rome, Sauron was roaring angrily. Natov Island was one of the three areas where his private army was stationed, and overnight, Natov Island was gone, and even the commander of the private army, Natov, was not heard from, which made Sauron swallow this breath.

This morning, he had just woken up from his sleep when he received the news that he had lost contact with Natov Island. Ever since that day that Paul claimed to have received a prophecy that would foretell that the island of Natov would be sent by heaven, Sauron made it necessary for Wisel to contact the island once a day. The first three days were uneventful, but this morning, when Withssel contacted the island's headquarters, he couldn't be contacted.

So Zoro immediately sent a survey team, and soon at noon it was reported that Natov Island had disappeared from the previous sea area, and the two large islands that played a hidden role in the front and back were divided in half by some kind of destructive impact. According to the investigation of the colonial islands in the area, as well as a valuable video recording, a bright light came from the south that night and hit the three islands, including Natov Island, which led to the sinking of Natov Island.

The intensity of the light and the magnitude of the momentum were beyond the reach of ordinary weapons, not even King Arthur of Sauron, whose cannon could not do it. The video quickly spread throughout the city of Rome, and Paul's metaphor was confirmed, and for a time, many people took to the streets and called Paul the Son.

Until now, the citizens of the city of Rome have gathered in front of the square of the Papal Chamber, and Paul is already receiving them and once again giving another oracle. Pointing out that the island of Florosa would soon be subjected to another repatriation, he appealed to the island's inhabitants and soldiers to leave as soon as possible, otherwise their lives would be lost.

With the example of the island of Natov, at a time when almost no one would stand up to criticize Paul's claims, the news spread like a whirlwind through the towns under the control of the city of Rome, causing quite a commotion.

"Bastard!" Zoro threw a delicate statue to the ground, and even if the statue shattered, it couldn't restrain his anger. There was a fire burning in his chest, and Sauron wanted to go to the square right now and tear Paul's boy to shreds. Little did he know that the docile sheep suddenly bared its fangs and bit down hard at his lion.

And the bite is quite deep.

"How the hell did he do that?" Sauron repeated as he walked back and forth across the room.

Wessel on the side whispered, "Could it really be ...... Mythology?"

"Bullshit!" cried Sauron, "you pig, you believe this kind of deception to those fools, if there was a god, he should have appeared a long time ago, why would he come out at this time to add to the fire." Ishtar, Poseidon ...... Now it's Paul, and there must be some connection between the three that I don't know. It seems that I really underestimated Paul, this kid, in this case, the previous meekness is probably pretended, and the purpose is for the present!"

"My lord, if you don't let me ......," Withssel made a decapitation motion.

Zoro snorted: "He is winning the hearts of the people now, if I kill him at this time, do you want those old men in Mendrisa to catch the handle and rebel?"

"Then we're going to leave him alone?"

"Of course not. Sauron said coldly: "Find a few capable ones and kill Paul quietly for me." Remember, they will have to die when this is done, but their families and relatives will receive a large pension. ”

"I know what to do. ”
