"Pa, tap, tap, tap" The messy footsteps echoed in this hazy afternoon) In the Royal Palace of Lana City, the palace maids who occasionally passed by saw the hurry of our group and retreated to their own dormitories, leaving Atu and the others to guard them. After four weeks, he gave instructions to Ah Tu and the others: "Go find the liaison officer from the Shibao Cultural Office. I want five liaison officers on standby at any time." After saying that, he took Osten and Bock into his study.
After walking into the study, she immediately threw the document she had just received to Sister Mindy, who was buried in a pile of books. "Pope Alisander VI has died of illness."
"Why so fast? Wasn't it fine when we boarded the ship at the pier?" After hearing this, Min Di quickly opened the document in the mailbox and read it twice quickly. "It's impossible, this thing is too weird. "After saying that, Min Di raised her head and looked at me.
"Uh, may I ask, why do you sayweird?" Ostan seemed to hear other meanings in Mindy's words, so he asked
In fact, the "weirdness" mentioned by Min Di just now refers to the legend about the Spear of Destiny. People who get but lose the Spear of Destiny will die quickly. But now the real Spear of Destiny is in our hands, and we still have it. I have tried it specifically. It is the real Spear of Destiny. But Pope Alisander VI has never encountered the real Spear of Destiny from beginning to end. Can this be regarded as gain and loss? If this is the case, the ownership determination of the Spear of Destiny is too intelligent.
"It is no longer important to us whether Pope Alisander VI died of an unknown disease or murder. What matters is who will become the next Pope Lana, and what measures we should take What is this?" As I spoke, I noticed what Mindy was looking at before we came. It was not a document, but a briefing.
"The information sent by the guard Changfeng a few hours ago is about the secret agreement between Pope Alisander and the Eastern Lana Empire." Mindy raised her head and said to Ostan and Bock: "Lord Ostan, Bock Sir, please step aside."
"Okay we'll be outside." After saying that, Bock and Osten nodded lightly, turned around and left the study.
"Your Highness, please take a look at this information first." After Bock and Osten left, Mindi handed the file on the desk into my hands. "Although I don't know all the terms of the secret agreement between His Majesty the Pope and the Eastern Lana Empire, However, the two items currently known to the Stone Castle Cultural Office are certain that the Pope allowed the Eastern Lana Empire to continue some of its past traditions, including the use of eunuchs in the court and the retention of 'female priests' in the Orthodox Church of the Eastern Lana Empire. Existence, this is a fragrant saying. You can understand that the female priest believes that in exchange, His Majesty the Pope¡¯s returning fleet was loaded with many gifts from the Imperial Court of the Eastern Lana Empire. I believe that the Lana Pope will soon Something big has happened. I think the Eastern Lana Empire sent those unknown gifts not in exchange for His Majesty the Pope's promise, but for other purposes. Should we inform the Lion Duke? Your Highness."
After listening to Mindy's report, I frowned and guessed that this was another thing caused by Roland. I didn't understand how she could reach out to places that they couldn't control again and again without any help. army
The Rana Pope Territory is at the heart of the Lion Principality. We have been using various means to maintain the chaotic situation in that area. For us, the Rana Pope Territory separated by local lords and the divided Western Continent The south is beneficial to us. As long as they maintain the pattern and chaos, the Holy Rana Empire can develop within ten years to a scale that the southern countries can no longer reach. You know, if the Two-Headed Serpent Principality, If the Winged Lion City-State is unified with the Holy Ranah Empire, the unified country's business and culture will be superior to the current Holy Ranah Empire, its population will be equivalent to that of the Holy Ranah Empire, and its military strength will also be greatly strengthened.
At the beginning, I only used one Gordon Legion to capture the city of Lana. Two companies of cavalry to support Duke Cizer were enough to help him defeat other local lords in the Papal Territory of Lana.
What I'm worried about is that Roland gave Duke Cizer something he shouldn't have given to deliberately break the balance that the Holy Lanner Empire has maintained in that area. That was also the result of the Holy Lanner Empire's march into Lanner. If this happens, In other words, then the colonial conquest plan of the Holy Rana Empire will be shelved indefinitely. At least until the affairs of the Rana Pope territory are dealt with, we can no longer invest our experience in the plan to conquer the Eastern Land.
After thinking about it, I immediately called Ostein, Bock and the liaison officer on standby to start contacting various agencies in the Holy Rana Empire to make preliminary adjustments.
When we left New Lana City and returned to the Holy Lana Empire, the fleets of the Three Lily Kingdom and the Three Lions Kingdom also began to set sail towards the holy city of Baines across the sea.
A month later, we returned to the place where we fought so hard in the heavy snow - Lanyuanbao Pass. Although Lanyuanbao PassThe north is already a land of snow, but it feels much warmer here than in the south. Even the heavy snow that coats this land with a layer of silver now looks like a thick velvet blanket to me.
The people living in the stone fortress received the imperial army's return and
After the Kite Castle Pass, he pulled out his own horses, put on sleds and rushed to the pass. He carried the soldiers of the Gordon Legion and drove to the Stone Castle talking and laughing. This had been approved by Osten. Those who arrived at the Stone Castle Soldiers will gather at Gordon Military Camp outside Stone City
Of course, not every topic discussed on the sled is a good one. Many soldiers in the Gordon Legion are from the Stone Castle area, so the soldiers in the Stone Castle area also suffered the most casualties among the Holy Lanadi Corps.
Some civilians can see their sons or husbands who have returned alive among the soldiers, while some can only get news about their relatives from fellow villagers who were recruited by the empire together with their sons or husbands. On the snow next to the town of Lanyuan Castle, Performing scenes of joy and sorrow
"What's wrong? Ostan" looked at the crowd on the snow and saw that Ostein next to him was a little strange, so he asked
"I was thinkingin the war with the Mutu people, how many mistakes did I make after fighting each battle?" As he said, Ostan sighed softly: "If we had deployed more carefully, there would be more people today." More happy crowds¡±
"Yes" nodded silently, and after a while he turned back to Ostan and continued: "If you can think of better ways to improve our deployment mechanism, it is inevitable that people will die in a war, but if you don't fight, If you do, wait to be beaten.¡±
"You are a wise monarch. Your Highness, I can't think of any other words of praise right now. You have allowed our empire to sacrifice many fewer soldiers. The mere fact that you have made the war more orderly is enough to make you one of the greatest in history." Commander's procession"
"It also killed more people. The mausoleum we built for Mutu's fallen soldiers outside the pass has made our officers and soldiers understand that they are not killing each other for God the Father, and the pagans are not pigs and dogs, but just like us. I don¡¯t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for me as a commander-in-chief.¡±
"Haha, they are not because of orthodox beliefs, but because of obedience. Whether it is obeying orders or respecting those opponents who admire us, I think this is the spirit of Gordon and the virtue of the knights of Gordon.
¡°This is not a conflict, Your Highness¡±
"Soas the Minister of Military Affairs of the Holy Rana Empire, I hope you can remember what you saw today." After saying that, he looked at Ostan and was silent for a moment: "You have done a good job." After that, he turned around He patted Bock on the shoulder: "You too, I believe that the Earl of Golden Oak and His Majesty the Emperor will also be pleased to see you today."
"Wellthank you, your highness, uhyour highness, our guests are here." As he said that, Bock pointed behind me.
Looking back, I saw Mr. Dong Liangjun and Ding Chao Zhengshiyong walking toward us in a cloud of white mist. Their attire looked a bit weird. Outside the Lanyuan Castle pass, they heard that the army had passed through the Holy Lana Empire. After crossing the border with the Eastern Lana Empire, in order to show their friendship and solemnity, all the officials of the Ding Dynasty envoy put on their Ding Dynasty official uniforms. However, the cold in the Gordon area was a bit beyond their imagination, so I also sent people to send coats and boots to the members of the mission.
So they have what they look like now: wearing the official hats of the Ding Dynasty, wearing the gray coats of the Gordon Legion officers, wearing the official uniforms of the Ding Dynasty robes underneath, and then wearing brown leather boots. This looks like real people. It's a time-travel, but fortunately it doesn't look bad either.
"Haha, you two adults can't wait to see the scenery of the Holy Lana Empire?" He walked forward with a smile and continued in front of them: "But I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. Now, brother The winter of Dun has arrived, and there is a blanket of white snow all over the Holy Lana Empire. There are no beautiful scenery and winter will last for a long time. You must know that it can only be regarded as the end of autumn in the southern part of the Western Continent."
"We think it's pretty good." After listening to the Mulander people's translation, Dong Liangjun smiled and pulled up the collar of his coat. "We were walking around just now and saw the custom of returning people from your country."
"What is the custom of returning?" After listening to Dong Liangjun's words, I looked at Bock and Osten behind me. What I got from them was also a questioning shake of the head. It seemed that they didn't know.
Seeing this, Master Zheng Yong answered: "Yes, we just saw a lot of noble officials praying in front of a stone tablet outside the city wall, saying, 'Through the valley of death, there is no fear.' If so, does the Valley of Death refer to this place?"
¡°¡¡¡¡± After listening to the words of the Ding Chao envoy, we fell silent
After a while, Bock behind him muttered silently: "?The Father above is my Shepherd, and I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in green pastures, and leads me beside still waters; he revives my soul, and guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me; you prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint mine with oil. Lord, make my cup of blessings overflow. Grace and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of God the Father forever."
