The entire command room was silent, and after glancing at the two of them, the staff officers silently bowed their heads and continued their work, while the other regimental commanders did not say anything, as if they were all watching to see how Sine answered this difficult question.

Sine didn't even look at Ron, but looked straight at Sauron and sighed, "It's all this time, Captain Ron still wants to do these small actions." In that case, I really don't see any hope of victory. ”

Ron's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure. Adam exclaimed, "Enough, Ron, there's no room for you to speak here." Sit down!"

Ron looked at Adam and glanced at Sine resentfully, although he was unwilling, he still chose to obey.

Zoro muttered, "Indeed, in the area of high-level combat power, it is our hard wound. But there is no solution......"

Sine and Adam had thoughtful expressions, they remembered that when the three armies went on an expedition to Canon that day, Leo and Frank were only in the eighth order. But when they set out on the expedition, their energy level had significantly increased to the ninth order. It's just that the feeling is extremely unnatural, and the two of them are like liliang who have been promoted out of thin air, and they can't suppress their boiling breath. But no matter what, the two of them were indeed ninth-order at the time.

If all the regiment leaders are promoted to the ninth order, then in the area of high-level combat power, the knights will not be in such a passive situation. It's just that Sine and the others really don't know, what method did Zoro use to raise Leo and the others by a level, if there is such a jishu, he still doesn't use it, so that he is controlled everywhere?

Zoro has his own agenda, and Gaia is not a charity. The last time he promoted Liliang for Leo and the others, it was to capture the person he wanted. Since that time, Gaia has fallen into a deep sleep and has only woken up, so he doesn't know about the failure of Leo and others. At this time, if you want to ask him to promote the Liliang of Sine and the others again, it will wake him up, and second, it will let him know that the failure of the last incident is not something to be happy about no matter how you look at it.

Of course, out of Gaia's unknown needs, he might do Sauron another favor. But Zoro didn't know what kind of reward that man Zuihou would receive.

"Anyway, there is hope that this problem will be solved, but for now, let's estimate what the opponent will do next. Sauron didn't want to reveal Gaia's story too soon, and now Paul was suppressing him in the name of the Son in all respects. If it is rumored that there is a strong man from outside hiding in his palace, then he will no longer be able to sit on this throne.

Adam and the others may cover it up for him, but it is difficult for Sine to say. And let the stubborn old fellows of Mendrisa know that they will never support them anymore, and those families will not allow outsiders to enter the circle of the core power of the city of Rome. If this matter is exposed, then Sauron will be at a one-sided disadvantage no matter what level of war he is in.

"To that question...... "I think Poseidon will stop all movement for the time being. ”

Ron couldn't help but laugh: "Captain Sine, it seems that you said the same thing last time. ”

"Shut up!" Zoro began to wonder how Adam's gaze could recommend this idiot to be the head of the Eighth Regiment. But now is not the time to deal with this problem, Zoro looked at Sine and said, "Why?"

"Because ......"

"Because our front is stretched too long, and the roads are closed by heavy snow in winter, our infantry regiments cannot reach them. Now there are only Tridents and us, and if we continue to go north, we will not be able to do it. After the battle of Rock City, Sauron and the others will no longer be so careless to give us a chance. ”

In the City of Rocks, in the face of a group of followers with high fighting spirits, Zero said. Having just captured the City of Rock, it's no wonder they're excited. The Zog, in particular, was eager to carry his wings on his back and attack directly into the city of Rome. Of course Zero won't let them do that, he has his own pace, and as he said before, it will be them who will continue to fight.

Going deep into the enemy's hinterland alone without backup is no different from looking for death. Although the high-level is powerful, it is not a god yet, and there will be times when Liliang is exhausted. Just by taking the city of rocks, the Trident troops have exhausted their physical strength, and the other high-level troops still have spare strength, but it is not right. For the rest of the year, the Papal Chamber and they will have mutual suspicions, so there will be a temporary truce between the two sides until the winter has passed.

"How's it going in the city?" asked Zero again.

Su came out and said, "Froman has taken over the task of defending the city with the Trident, as well as maintaining order in the city. So far, there have been more than a dozen clashes, but on your orders, the troublemakers were just imprisoned first. The main forces of the Trident were housed in city warehouses and several factories, which controlled most of the supplies. As for the towns of Yoz, the mayor of Yoz, Mr. Boyo, had already called, and he would later send a letter of surrender together with the towns of Masson and Lambrich. ”

"Looks like the old mayor is doing a pretty good job. Zero nodded.

"But sir, we're outsiders after all. Even if the people below are restrained, conflict is inevitable. Without an army and only a trident, it would be difficult to keep the inhabitants of the city under our control. Berrion said.

"So I asked Fromman to inform the inhabitants of the city, and told them to assemble in the central square at about five o'clock in the evening, and I would talk to them. Moreover, this situation will soon change. Our ally, His Highness Paul, if wise, should know what to do next. Zero smiled inscrutablely.

At the same time, Sauron, who was deploying the entire winter work in the command room, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps. Then the door opened, and Captain Wessel walked in briskly, whispering in Sauron's ear, "Oh no, my lord. His Royal Highness Paul is again openly assembled in the square. ”

"I don't have time to pay attention to that kid now, if he wants to speak, let him speak. Zoro frowned.

"But this time it's different, my lord. His Highness Paul said that those pirates were messengers sent by God!"

"What?" Zoro was furious, "This kid really has something to do with pirates. Let's go, take me to see how much more ridiculous remarks he has!"

Leaving the command room, Sauron took Wither and his own guards to the square not far from the Pope's Chamber. Sure enough, there was a rally in the square, and this time it was much larger than before. The square was crowded with people, and Paul stood in the middle of a high platform, talking, dressed in papal robes, and with open arms, he shouted: "Dear brothers and sisters, open your eyes and look." The dawn is coming, and God's angels from the south are bringing with them the gospel that will bring lasting peace to the earth. ”

"Peace?"

Zoro's voice overpowered all the sounds in the square, and he looked coldly at Paul, who was wearing a high crown on the stage, and said, "But how come I only see war. Your Highness Paul, your so-called messengers of God have just taken possession of our City of Rock. Is this what you call the gospel?"

The crowd watched as Paul answered.

The young pope was flustered and said lightly: "In order to maintain order, sometimes war is inevitable. Our heavenly Father waged war to drive out demons. As long as the purpose of war is for long-term peace, then war is sacred and just, Uncle Zoro, don't you think so?"

"Ridiculous!" Zoro sneered, "If you say so, those pirates are sacred, and the City of Rock is a city occupied by demons?"

"The devil is in the human heart, and if the human heart is evil, then it is a demon. Paul replied with a well-circulated quote from his father, the previous pope, who implied that the City of Rock was nothing more than a demonic city under the control of Sauron. The young pope then added, "If they are not messengers of God, but what Uncle Sauron called pirates and invaders...... Then Uncle Zoro, tell me and tell everyone. What did they do after they took Canon, Cage City, and now Rock City? Have they tortured civilians or executed them?"

Zoro asked him a suffocating question, and when he thought about it, it seemed that the Poseidon had never done such a thing. At this time, he didn't answer, let alone didn't, he simply chose to be silent, but the result would not be much better than the previous two.

"Let me answer for Uncle Zoro!" Paul said, looking at the civilians below, "these so-called pirates and invaders, after they took those cities, not only did they not abuse any civilians, but they also opened up supplies and reduced taxes to them. The inhabitants of these cities now have food and work, and they are paid for their labor. If they are really aggressors, they are going to do it?"

"If anyone has been to these cities, they will see that the people there are better off than before. If they are enemies, and they are as brutal as the legend says, weishenme are they going to do this?" Paul turned to Sauron and said, "Please answer this question, Uncle Sauron. ”

Zoro said with a gloomy face: "It's all a conspiracy! Illusion! Even if they do so much, they can't hide that they are shameful, greedy predators!"

Paul Haha smiled and said, "At least as far as I know, what they have plundered so far is probably Uncle Zoro's wealth, right?

"There is no point in such a debate!" Zoro roared, "Anyway, they are all aggressors. As long as it is an invader, I will blast them out of the mainland!"

"Really, if it's an invader, isn't Uncle Sauron?"

Sauron's pupils shrank and he said, "What did you say?"

"Isn't it?" Paul looked at Sauron without giving in, "Isn't it because Uncle Sauron plundered the previous pope and the position of my father Paul IV that he has everything he has today?"

Sauron clenched his fists, he really didn't expect Paul to tear his face with him in public.

Paul continued: "Uncle Zoro, I have prepared the materials to propose to the Inquisition to re-investigate the real cause of the death of the previous pope. If it comes out, I think it's going to be a big deal, isn't it?"

Sauron was finally really angry, and Paul had stepped on his bottom line. This young man, whom he has always looked down on, actually proposed to retry the truth about the death of the previous pope in front of so many people in front of so many people, which is undoubtedly telling Quan Shijie that he Zoro is the murderer. Even if everyone knows about it, it's one thing to hide it in your heart, and it's another thing to put it on the stage.

Moreover, if Sauron interferes with the work of the Inquisition in private, he is undoubtedly saying that he is the murderer, but if he does not interfere, will the Inquisition make the truth public.

Whatever he did, Sauron would be criticized.

For the first time, Sauron felt disadvantaged in this invisible struggle for power. He was even more annoyed that he would let Paul be forced into this situation.

"You're looking for death!" Sauron snorted, reaching out and grabbing Paul's void.

The invisible force field shrouded Paul, but at this moment, a figure flashed between the two of them. With a single slash of the maple horizontal sword, Zoro's force field was shattered. Sauron was shocked, even though he didn't use all his strength, but it was not trivial to catch him in anger. If he is allowed to grasp it, Paul's fragile body will be caught on the spot. Despite this, Sauron will be criticized, but it will be a hundred.

He no longer had the patience to play political games with Paul, and he wanted to prove to the world that only Liliang was true. But I didn't expect that even such a demonstration method would be easily destroyed by a stranger. And instead of simply intercepting his attacks, the other party destroyed the connection between him and the force field, leaving him without all follow-ups.

This is indispensable, if Sauron continues to attack, then without the Poseidon Order, the city of Rome will fall into a divided situation.

Zoro just put away his palm hatefully, the danger of the situation just now can only be felt by the high-level. In the eyes of ordinary people, Sauron was nothing more than an angry wave of his hand at Paul, and they couldn't see that Paul was actually spinning around the scythe of death.

Half-squinting, Zoro looked at Kaede on the stage with a dangerous gaze, "You look strange. ”

Kaede said with a smile: "Adults have a lot of opportunities, how can they know a small character like me." ”

"Small role?" Zoro sneered: "A high-ranking person is a big man wherever he throws it, and now there are not many people who can block my blow, and even fewer people can cut off all of my back." If it weren't for the confirmation that the big man of the Poseidon Regiment was in Rock City, I would almost have thought you were him. ”

"My lord has won the prize, how can I compare to that big man. Kaede turned to Paul again and said, "Your Highness, today's speech should be about the same. ”

"Yes, indeed. Paul smiled.

Sauron suddenly shouted, "Listen to me, from today onwards you are not allowed to assemble in the square. ”

Paul changed color and exclaimed, "There has never been such a statute in the Papal Chamber!"

"Now there is, my little Paul. Zoro sneered: "Whoever is not convinced, go to my army!"

With that, he turned to leave, and the crowd made way of a passage.

On the high platform, Paul trembled with anger, and then he remembered that such a domineering was the true nature of Zoro. At the moment when he has a heavy army, his words are the law. If Paul had violated, he would have ended up no better than the common people. After all, he, the pope, has no real power. It's just that in this way, the people's dissatisfaction with Sauron is even greater.

Paul stepped down from the high platform, thinking that perhaps it was time to talk to Mendrissa and Joseph Sr.

In some dimly lit space, a beam of light fell. He wears a hooded cape, his shoulders are decorated with flame patterns, and on his chest is a black coat of arms with an inverted cross. A man in a mysterious outfit said in a deep voice, "I called you today to decide one thing. Our Dark Brotherhood was founded during the darkest of times, and it is through the wise eyes of all of you that we have been able to guide the Papal Hall in the dark until now. But now, the tree we have cultivated has a faint tendency to slip out of our grasp, so I propose to abolish the continued support of Sauron and choose another suitable candidate. What do you think?"

Another beam of light was cast, and the one who appeared in the light was also a mysterious cloaked man. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I agree, since Sauron killed the bloody knight Lambonis by unknown means, he is no longer the obedient dog, and has the idea of biting his master back. ”

"I have privately investigated the death of Lambonis. All traces point to Sauron's palace, but I have sent three groups of spies, but none of them have returned. The third voice sounded in the darkness, as loud as a morning bell, and it shook people's eardrums: "That palace is now surrounded by a huge darkness, and the eyes of the outside world cannot penetrate it at all. Even Sauron himself was jealous of the darkness, and moved to another bedroom, but gave up the palace. ”

"In that case, the dog is not only disobedient, but is also planning to bring in the wolf?" ”

"No, so far, even Sauron is unaware of the existence of our Dark Brotherhood. If it is exposed too soon, it will be detrimental to the purpose for which we continue to guide the Papal Chamber in the shadows. At present, we only have two high-ranking members on the water, Mendrissa and Joseph, and their strength is not enough to defend Sauron. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Let that newcomer do it......" Mendrisa's voice sounded in the darkness, "The leader of the Poseidon Order, the man named Zero, I think he's a good obvious." And by all indications, he has joined forces with His Highness Paul. What's more, he doesn't seem to have any intention of intervening in the power circles of our continent. For some unknown reason, he prefers to overthrow Sauron and put His Highness Paul in charge of the continent. ”

"Ridiculous, how could there be such a person?" retorted the Brotherhood member who was the first to speak.

"I also agree with Mendrissa. This was Joseph's voice, and the two reached a striking agreement on this: "Judging from the information sent back from the eyeliner we planted in the Poseidon Order, this man named Zero has expressed his willingness to participate in the power struggle on the mainland more than once. It seems that he has more powerful enemies, and to be honest, I personally think he is more difficult to navigate than Zoro. I don't know if you know, he once had Leo, the commander of the Second Army, blow himself up into the Well of Divine Tears. But not only did he come back, but he also brought out the survivors who participated in Jihua, the Chosen One. I think you should understand what that means?"

A gasp sounded, and the only woman said, "In other words, the Andula Bug Queen also killed him, and that's a terrible bug, a bug that we can't control!"
