Fifty-six, the dark demon changes hands (medium)
The Pope was very unhappy, he just fell asleep, but he woke up the chamberlain, saying that Nicholas asked to see him, although he was very unhappy, but during this period of time, he still knew about Nicholas's intelligence, and he knew that he was a rare talent, such a person was absolutely trustworthy, if it wasn't for an emergency, Nicholas would not come to disturb him at such a late hour, so although he was unhappy in his heart, he still got up to meet Nicholas.
In the small conference room, the Pope met with Nicholas and said, "Dear Nicholas, why did you come to me in such a hurry?" "Failed?" "Yes, and this matter has also caused a very serious consequence, the black-clothed Shura has already entered the Dark Demon Empire, and I am afraid that he will become the new emperor of the Dark Demon Empire in the near future." β
The Pope stood up, thought for a moment and said, "Is the news confirmed?" "It has been confirmed, twenty days ago, that is, on October 12th, the wife of the black-clothed Shura, the witch Lorissa of the Dark Temple, led the army to capture the Dark Demon City and captured the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh alive, and at the same time, more than seventy percent of the dukes of the Dark Demon Empire have expressed their support for the black-clothed Shura, it can be said that the war of the Dark Demon Empire has ended, and our secret agents have blocked the news and the distance of the black-clothed Shura, so this news is much late. β
The Pope understood, and said, "So, everything we did before is useless?" "Yes, Your Majesty, we had people bribe the important ministers of the Dark Demon Empire before, and let them provoke a war between the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh and the Black-clothed Shura, and hoped to take this opportunity to get rid of the Black-clothed Shura, this plan has failed, and the Black-clothed Shura will get a chance to develop rapidly, his territory has been expanded dozens of times, and it has become more difficult for him to restrain it." Nicholas had a sense of powerlessness, this plan was originally very successful, and the war broke out in the same way, but the victor was not the Dark Demon Ninety-Seven as they expected, but the black-clothed Shura, which was really the biggest defeat.
The Pope and Nicholas are both smart people, and they both know that things are a little bad, and now there are still twelve years before the next battle of light and darkness, twelve years, if you give the black-clothed Shura another twelve years, what will he develop the entire Dark Demon Empire into? I'm afraid that the national strength of the Dark Demon Empire will more than triple again, with money, and a large number of machinery and various war materials imported by the Yanhuang Clan, when the time comes, the Dark Demon Empire will be strong enough to threaten the situation of the entire Temple of Light's conquest army, and what's even worse is that even if the black-clothed Shura doesn't come out, when the time comes, on the battlefield of light and darkness, the Temple of Light will send a large force to guard its flanks, otherwise, it will definitely die, with a powerful Dark Demon Empire to contain it, the future of the next battle of light and darkness is not bright. The Pope understood why Nicholas was going to pull him out of the bed in the middle of the night.
The Pope asked, "Nicholas, is there any way to remedy it?" "Let's talk about it. "The first way is to send spies to lurk in the Dark Demon Empire, causing them a little damage from time to time and delaying their development. I think that although the black-clothed Shura has entered the Dark Demon Empire, those nobles are still an obstacle to the development of the Dark Demon Empire, although the black-clothed Shura is currently supported by the nobles, but sooner or later, the black-clothed Shura will have to eliminate these nobles, and it may be our opportunity at that time, so we need to be prepared. β
The Pope smiled and said, "Okay, Nicholas, I will leave this matter to you, and I will prepare it for you tomorrow, and all the materials and funds you need will be available." "Nicholas thanks the Pope, just this one, Nicholas has more power in his hands, and he can handle several times more materials.
Nicholas continued: "The second way is to let Kaigula develop faster, we must send some men to Kaigula, and when it comes to the battle of light and darkness, send Kaigula to deal with the black-clothed Shura, so that we can deal with the black-clothed Shura, otherwise, if we change anyone, the consequences will be very bad." "Nicholas's trick is amazing, after all, Kaigula is the sworn brother of the black-clothed Shura, I think the black-clothed Shura will not kill his sworn brother.
The Pope said, "Kegula is not stupid, if we send someone to help him in such an open and honest way, won't he doubt it?" We still have time, so we can't send people so openly, but there are many young people in the academy, some of them worship Kaigula, we just need to give them a small hint, then, they may go to Kaigula after graduation, we don't need to control Kaigula, we just need him to develop faster, I believe that after twelve years, Kaigula will have enough strength to form a strong army. β
The Pope smiled: "Nicholas, you are so clever, what a treasure given to us by the great God of Light, well, just do as you say." "Thank you for your trust, Nicholas will do his best to contribute everything to the great God of Light. Nicholas hurriedly expressed his loyalty, after all, there is no harm in expressing more loyalty, but what is a bad thing not to show it?
The Pope sat down again, drank tea and said, "Nicholas, you come to analyze and analyze, how did the black-clothed Shura fight in this war?" "I can only say that it is beautiful, his move really convinced me, this guy, is definitely a genius on the battlefield, he can reach such a point, I think, if he is allowed to fight me on the battlefield, I may not be his opponent." "Oh, very few people get that kind of evaluation from you, and I'd like to hear why. β
Nicholas said: "The black Shura performed very well in this war, and he used his gold and gold coins simply to be superb, from which it is certain that the black Shura was not only a genius on the battlefield, but also a capable ruler." All his actions were based on his own gold coins, and if he hadn't had so many gold coins, I'm afraid his plan wouldn't have been implemented so smoothly. β
The Pope nodded, this is a fact, if it weren't for the black-clothed Shura's money to burn his hands, he wouldn't have built fortresses everywhere, or the kind of fortress that is so strong that it is deathly, that kind of fortress, the gold coins that cost to build one are massive, and more importantly, it takes a lot of materials to build, even the Temple of Light wants to build such a fortress, it is not easy, there is no problem with money (after all, the Temple of Light has hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, and the money is also a lot), however, those steel and cement are very problematic, and there are many other more materials, many of which can be bought without money, besides, the black-clothed Shura did not only build a fortress, but built dozens of fortressesThe money required is simply a nightmare for an empire.
Nicholas said: "If he hadn't made a way with enough gold, or had made a promise to make a fortune together, I don't think those nobles would have supported him, and only a wise man like the black-clothed Shura could share his gold with others, and few others could do it." "This is also a fact, if it weren't for the black-clothed Shura who regarded money as dung and generously shared his property with other big nobles, those nobles would not support him, those industries can earn a lot of gold coins for everything, a small family can make money as long as they have the same, and the black-clothed Shura can share it with others, this mind is really rare enough.
Next, Nicholas smiled wryly and said: " The equipment of the black-clothed Shura really makes us have nothing to say, his army is simply armed to the teeth, and fighting with such an army, it is not only people who fight, but more importantly, money, that guy, he was able to throw five thousand ninth-level magic scrolls out of the sky at once, I heard that he actually took out forty thousand ninth-level magic scrolls when he recruited Soltola, we can be sure that if we have to face his army in the future, they will inevitably be hit by the magic scroll storm, this guy, I really don't know what Lu Dao should say about him. β
The Pope is also speechless, fighting a war is fighting money, and he understands this, but he has really never seen anyone who uses money like this. The black-clothed Shura simply doesn't treat money as money, even in the light and darkness, millions or even tens of millions of troops go to war, and in the big battle, five thousand ninth-level magic scrolls may not be used, even in the last battle of light and darkness, the Temple of Light used 800 million troops, but all the magician troops have a total of about 100,000 ninth-level magic scrolls, and what about the black-clothed and black-clothed Shura? I really don't know how much Lu Dao has, but I know that Lu Dao threw these magic scrolls worth 20,000 gold coins as stones, which is really using money to bully people. In the face of such an opponent, you will definitely be very depressed.
Nicholas said: "His surprise attack on the Dark Demon City is beautiful, I understand it, if he attacks the city by city, he can't pass the level of the conquest army alone, he is only three million troops to survive, it is almost impossible to deal with the Crusade Army, all he can do is rely on the fortress to hold on, but he is another surprise soldier, and captured the Dark Demon City in one fell swoop, thus reversing the situation and laying the victory in one fell swoop, this move is really beautiful, it is really difficult for him to think of it." β
The Pope asked a little incomprehensibly: "According to common sense, even if he captures the Dark Demon City, however, the Dark Demon Ninety-Seven can completely break through, and the Dark Demon Empire still has a large number of troops, as long as the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh breaks through to the siege, reorganizes the army, and fights to the death with the black-clothed Shura, I am afraid that before the end of the day, the outcome is unknown, I really don't understand why the stupid man of the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh will wait for death there?"
Nicholas said, "No, Your Majesty. In the final analysis, this war is a civil war of the Dark Demon Empire, although the Dark Demon Ninety-Seven is the emperor, but the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh does not take advantage of this war, this is one of them. Second, if the black-clothed Shura was able to capture the imperial capital, he had already proved his strength to the other nobles, and those nobles also understood that the black-clothed Shura already had the strength to compete with the Dark Demon Ninety-seven, at this time, they had to make a choice, whether to choose to support the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh or choose the black-clothed Shura, and because of the activities of the black-clothed Shura's intelligence officers before this, most of the nobles chose to support the black-clothed Shura, because, supporting the black-clothed Shura can have a chance to make a fortune, but if they support the Dark Demon Ninety-seven, they will not get any benefits, so they all choose to support the black-clothed Shuraγ Third, the liberation party of the black-clothed Shura has grown and won the hearts of the people among the lower classes, coupled with the benevolent government of the black-clothed Shura, therefore, countless slaves and freedmen support the black-clothed Shura, in this way, after the black-clothed Shura captured the imperial capital, it caused a chain reaction, and the entire Dark Demon Empire collapsed, and the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh also knew that even if he broke through the siege, he was powerless to compete with the black-clothed Shura, so he stayed in the imperial capital and became a prisoner of the black-clothed Shura. Without the work of slaves and freemen, even if the Dark Demon 97 was able to reload and gather an army, where would the supplies come from? Who would they rely on to transport them? Therefore, the capture of the imperial capital would be the beginning of the collapse of the Dark Demon Empire. β
