Hearing what Pope Rana said, I turned around and took a book from Mindi, placed the study on the table in front of Alexander VI, and turned to one of the pages. It was a New Testament of the Word of God, and the page we opened was "The Suffering of the Son" in Chapter 19, Verse 34 of the Gospel of John.
After turning the pages of the book, I pointed to a line in the book and replied to Rana Pope Alisander: "Because we still have something in their hands. Do we allow them to return to the Mutu Empire with that thing?" ?His Majesty the Pope.¡±
"Impossible" After hearing this, Alexander VI shook his head: "That thing is now being kept intact in the cabinet of St. Peter's Church on the Holy Mountain of Lana. How could it possibly fall to the Mutu people?" hands."
"Your Majesty the Popeplease listen to me. The spies of the Holy Lana Empire have passed the news to me through secret channels. Of course, I am not doubting the sacred object enshrined on the Lana Holy Mountain. But out of concern for The concerns of the Holy Orthodox Churchwhat if?" He put his hands on the edge of the table and stared at Rana Pope Alisander VI for a moment: "What if there is someone who is under the control of Emperor Mutu Haji VIII? What should I do in my hands? Since the spies have told me this news, and what happened in the Mutu Empire seems to confirm this."
"Then what should we do? Should we ask them for it during negotiations?"
"No, Your Majesty the Pope." At this moment, Min Di stepped forward and said, "Even if you ask them for help, you won't get the real holy object. They can just forge a holy object and give it to us. Please give it to us. Let's take some time, and it won't take long before everything will be clarified. And we also need to wait. Now is not the best time for peace talks. We should wait until Haji VIII dies before negotiating with them. If possible, We¡¯d better make Prince Muta understand this.¡±
"You mean" Halfway through, Alisander VI suddenly stopped speaking, then smiled and nodded
At the next meeting of the princes of the Holy War and Crusaders Alliance, Pope Alisander VI decided to temporarily reject the Mutu people's peace proposal after discussing with those princes and princes, and conveyed our message to the envoys of the Mutu Empire. hint. I believe that when the envoy returns to New Lana City and reports the matter to Prince Muta of the Mutu Empire, as long as Prince Muta is not too stupid, he should know what we want.
Although the real emperor of the Mutu Empire, Haji VIII, is now seriously ill, he is only seriously ill. We cannot guarantee whether Haji VIII will survive and return to the city after releasing those Mutu people from New Lana City. The Mutu Empire's mainland, if he can return to the Mutu Empire's mainland alive, it will not be a good thing for us. Because the last period of Haji VIII's life is likely to destroy the situation that is now favorable to us. If Prince Muta is too strong, after he quickly takes care of his younger brother who has ascended the throne, after a period of recuperation, there will be a powerful Mutu Empire at the door of the Western Continent.
"Will Muta, the prince of the Mutu Empire, take the bait?" I asked Min Di in a low voice while walking on the road after coming out of White Rose Castle.
"Yes. As long as Prince Muta decides to kill his father, he will definitely find the holy relics hidden by Haji VIII. As long as the vultures know where the holy relics are, the next thing will be easy to handle. Let us We¡¯ll see.¡±
"Okayhehe. We'll see."
One week after the Mutu Empire returned to New Lana City. Emperor Haji VIII of the Mutu Empire died of illness. Prince Muta of Mutu, who had been accompanying Haji VIII, immediately ascended the throne in New Lana City with the support of Beilebe Mutak in the north of the Mutu Empire. Became Muta III, Emperor of the Mutu Empire. At this time, the Mutu Empire was officially split into two countries, North and South. In the north, the nobles from Hajira City supported Muta III. To the south are the Bains nobles who support King Haji IX. The civil war in the Mutu Empire has begun
The war begins. King Haji IX, who had just signed a peace agreement with the Muland Empire, immediately marched towards Hajira Port, the capital of the Mutu Empire in the north, with the Bainsbelebe Banner Army as the main force. And the army of Muta III. The Northern Bellebey Banner Army suffered heavy losses in the decisive battle at Odessas Port. The New Ranabelebe Banner Army exists in name only. The Mutu Guards were destroyed. The remaining troops were trapped in New Lana City. Across the sea of ??fragrant violets, there is nothing to do.
So Murtagh III, who had just ascended the throne in New Lana City, became even more impatient. Frequent envoys were sent to the Crusader League. There are more and more concessions. Except exiting the Western Continent. In addition to returning the land they occupied and paying a large amount of gold. Murtagh III even promised the rights of free trade to every country in the Holy War Crusaders Alliance. There is also the right to dispose of Mutu civilian land in New Lana City.
at this time. It took the Holy War Crusaders Alliance to reach a consensus. AgreeAccepted the peace agreement of Muta III of the Mutu Empire. And set off south to formally sign with Muttah III. What is the clause in this peace agreement that displeases me the most? That is undoubtedly the benefit that the four western countries of the Western Continent have gained from this peace agreement. The armies of these four countries have not fought a single battle since they came here. Got this without even firing a shot. Thinking about it really makes me feel unwilling.
??Especially the White Castle Kingdom and the Red Lion Kingdom. As for the Three Lions Kingdom and the Three Lily Kingdom, I am not so unwilling, because even if they get some benefits from this agreement, they will not
They will enjoy the benefits of this peace agreement for a long time. With time, Minti will give them a chance to continue fighting the war that has not yet ended. It is just a halftime break now.
On the day I signed the agreement outside New Lana City, I finally saw this thousand-year-old ancient capital. After arriving in the Western Continent, I have already seen two of the three major cities famous in the Orthodox world, Lana City and New Lana City. Now there is only one holy city left that I have not seen, Bains. I don¡¯t know if I will have the chance to see that ancient capital that has been plagued by the same disputes for hundreds of years in my lifetime.
Of course, while seeing New Lana City, I also met Muta III, the brother of Prince Haji of the Mutu Empire. I don¡¯t know how to evaluate Prince Haji¡¯s brother. If Prince Haji is a dead king, then Murtagh III can only be regarded as a living person compared to him. At least I didn¡¯t see it in him. The amazingness of talent and character. Of course, he is not as cowardly as Prince Haji said. Perhaps it is because of the embarrassment of Mutat III at this moment that he temporarily restrained his bad habits when he was the king of the Mutu Empire. However, his father-killing behavior directly speaks to us. It explains his personality.
After the agreement was officially signed, the Allied Forces of the Holy War and Crusaders entered New Lana City and began to disarm the Mutu Emperor's rebels in the city. According to the agreement, the disarmed Mutu Emperor can follow their new emperor on board the Mutu Empire's cargo ship from Hajila and return to the Mutu Empire. As for the Mutu civilians in the city who have not yet starved to death, unless they can pay themselves a sufficient ransom, they will be assigned to the Holy War and Crusaders Alliance and sold as slaves to the Muland Empire. As for the Mutu people who can pay a sufficient ransom for themselves and their families, if they want to go to the dock area through the port wall of New Lana City, they will have to pay an additional toll, and will they be able to board the Mutu docked at the dock? It's none of our business to try to capture the imperial ships. We only gave them a week. Anyway, it will definitely not be a good thing to wait for the Mutu civilians who stayed in Xin Lana City. According to the Western Continental people's practice of revenge, they must be sold or killed. This is something agreed upon in the agreement. If the remaining women think that their appearance can save their lives, they may become washerwomen, but among the washerwomen who follow the army in the Western Continent, I believe their lives will not be easy.
From the army in front of the Lanyuan Fort Pass that was willing to die rather than surrender to the army in New Lana City, to be honest, it is hard for me to believe that these two completely different armies actually come from the same country. Maybe this is what is called a collapse. It does look scary.

Two large theaters, four large public meeting halls, eight luxurious city public baths, one hundred and fifty-three private baths, fifty-two street colonnades, five granaries, eight elevated aqueducts, fourteen churches, fourteen palaces and 4,388 noble residences. The design of the new Rana City is completely modeled after Rana City and is divided into fourteen districts. The same seven hills as Rana City can also be found in the city. Several elevated aqueducts bring running water from plain rivers dozens of kilometers away to supply the daily needs of the city.
This is Rana City Due to a series of special policies adopted by the Eastern Rana Empire, the new Rana City replaced the old Rome very early. The emperor who founded the city personally approved the free movement of the Rana nobles into the noble residences of New Rana City, and the Senate of New Rana City also gained the same legal status as the old Senate of Rana. This series of strategies has greatly promoted the development of New Rana City. The city's population grew dramatically, and within a few decades of its founding, New Lana's population reached between fifty and one million. Looking at the entire world of Orthodoxy and Salatism, no city can compare with it. Whether in ancient times or in the Western Continent in the Middle Ages.
Whether in ancient times or in the long Middle Ages, it was the most prosperous city in the entire Western world. All the wealth and culture of the Eastern Lana Empire were concentrated here. Now walking in this city, even though the incense people in the city are afraid to go out because of the entry of the Holy War Crusaders, and the Mutu people are driven to the city near the port area, which makes the streets of this city look a bit deserted, but the wide The streets and the marble buildings next to them still allow me to fully imagine the bustling scene of this city in the past.
The occupation of the Mutu people left many people in the cityThe buildings were remodeled, and the looting and massacre after the war greatly reduced the city's population. It¡¯s no wonder that people in Xiangjin still regard Tuesday as an unlucky day, because Tuesday was the day when the city fell decades ago. Of course, there is also the word "fall". Even though the grandfather of Mutu Emperor Haji VIII moved a large number of people after occupying New Lana City in an attempt to restore the city's former glory, the city's subsequent History is undoubtedly bleak. Even in the information age in my previous life, even in my hometown that has little to do with this city, mentioning the historical events of the occupation of that city would always include the words "blood and tears" and "blood and tears". Suffixes like "fall". From these suffixes alone, we can see the regret of the people after the city was captured.
And now, I stand in front of the empty Hagia Sophia, looking at the crescent moon on the top of the church I am imagining how people in the future of this world will evaluate what we have done today.
