Chapter 543: arrange

Royal Dragon City, Holy Mountain.

The melodious bells with soothing and wonderful power spread throughout every corner of the Holy Light Cathedral.

Cardinal Mensay, in a red robe, walked through the secluded corridor and walked into the prayer hall.

In the hall, another cardinal, Nopton, bowed his head in prayer in front of the statue of Lord of Glory.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Knopton finished his prayers and looked back at Mensay, who was slowly approaching, and nodded as a greeting.

Mensay also didn't care about the other party's indifferent attitude. The three cardinals of the Glory Church were all candidates for the next pope, so there will inevitably be some competition between them, and the relationship is naturally not harmonious.

After the news of Turnance's death reached the Dragon City, Mensay and Knopton's mentality were a bit complicated.

First of all, the sorrow and fright of the dead rabbit and the fox are naturally inevitable, but other than that, it is impossible to say that there is no stealing pleasure. After all, there is one less competitor.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Gregorian may not be able to continue to sit securely in the position of the pope. This makes Mensay and Knopton start to feel something that shouldn’t be there. Thoughts.

It's just that such thoughts can only be hidden deep in my heart.

The two cardinals stood in the empty prayer hall, silent, waiting quietly for the arrival of the pope.

Perhaps because the current atmosphere is a bit awkward, Mensay said softly:

"It is said that the body of Tournans was tied to the cross by the Saint Hild family and stood on the head of Winter City."

Knopton shook his head and sighed: "This is really blasphemy!"

"Count Anglia declared that this was to make Turnance atone for the evil deeds he did during his lifetime, and beside Turnance’s body, there was another empty cross, which was said to have been made by the pope. Prepared." Mensay said lightly, and there was no joy or anger on the expression on his face.

Knopton chuckled and did not comment on it.

The prayer hall fell into silence again, and the never-extinguishing holy light shot down from the glass dome, casting a sacred halo on the two cardinals standing silently.

I don't know how long it took before Pope Gregory finally walked into the prayer hall.

Mensay and Knopton hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Gregorian waved his hand casually, did not speak, but first came to the statue of the Lord of Radiance, prayed silently, and then turned to look at the two cardinals and asked blankly:

"You all know what happened in the northern border? Tell me, what do you think should be handled?"

Mensay and Knopton looked at each other, both hesitated.

But Gregorian obviously made up his mind to listen to the opinions of the two of them, and did not speak, letting the atmosphere on the scene become more and more stagnant.

Under such pressure, Mensay finally couldn't help but coughed slightly and said:

"Under the crown, I think that the majesty of our lord cannot be provoked. The behavior of the north must not be tolerated. It must be suppressed strongly by thunder means, so as to deter other nobles who are ready to move."

"How to suppress with thunder?" Before Pope Gregorian spoke, another cardinal Nopton questioned.

"Of course, it was immediately announced that the St. Hild family and Ajani were blasphemers, dispatched the Knights Templar to the north, and called on devout believers to join this holy war against blasphemers."

"What reason do you use to declare the Saint Hild family and Ajani as blasphemers? How sure is the Knights Templar to defeat the Northern Alliance? As for calling on the believers to help in the battle, hehe, most lords will just watch with cold eyes. As for the enthusiastic farmers that you have recruited, are you sure they will be a help rather than a burden?" Gu

"Reason? Mianxia is the spokesperson of our lord in the world. Does it still need a reason to declare certain people as blasphemers?

As for whether the Knights Templar can defeat the Northern Alliance, Knopton, when have you been so distrustful of the Guardians of Our Lord's Glory?

When this army, which symbolizes the will of our Lord, arrives in the North, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Northern Alliance will not have the courage to take up arms in front of them. "

Knopton curled his lips, shook his head and sneered: "Men Sai, if our lord's reputation is really such a universal, then how can there be nobles with ghosts in mind, and how can there be this blasphemous act in the north? ?

As for the Knights Templar, even if they have the ability to defeat the Northern Alliance, will the resulting civil strife in the empire give the Orc Empire a chance? "

Mensai coldly hummed unconvincedly: "Then what better advice do you have?"

"I think that at such a critical moment, we should try our best to avoid internal fighting that can lead to disastrous consequences! So we should send people to Winter City to appease the St. Hild family. As long as their demands are not excessive, we should make a little Concession is not impossible."

"Concession?" Mensay said angrily, "Your weakness will only make the Northern Territory gain an inch! At the same time, it will also make other nobles feel that the church is weak and deceptive, taking this opportunity to greatly weaken our control in the secular realm!

Don't forget that the lords of the North have also brazenly withheld tithes. Do you want this disastrous move to affect the entire empire? "

"Concession does not mean weakness! Blindly toughness will make the empire fall into an abyss that cannot be saved..."

"In the face of threats, never shrink back. This is the persistence of true believers of our Lord..."

Seeing the two cardinals who were quarreling so hard, Pope Gregory sneered inwardly.

Of course he could see that the two men seemed to be putting on a posture of dedication and generous suggestions in order to solve the current crisis, but in fact, the measures proposed were some obvious nonsense.

After arguing for a long time, it was all emotional vents, but I didn't hear any insights.

Gregorian knew very well that under the current situation of UU Reading www.uukānshu.com, perhaps the two cardinals were still having fun in their hearts. I am afraid they are all looking forward to taking the blame and abdicating themselves under the pressure of the North. The pope's throne was free.

Two old things that want to see their own jokes, how can they give really useful advice.

"Enough!" Gregorian scolded.

The two cardinals, who had been blushing at the beginning, seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and instantly put on Gu Bo's calm mask, leaned over with their hands, and obediently awaited the instructions of the Pope.

Gregory scanned the faces of the two cardinals with cold eyes, and then ordered:

"Men Sai, you go to the north immediately, test the attitude of the Saint Hild family, and ask them what they want?"

Mensay frowned, but before he could speak, he saw that the pope's gaze was already turning to Knopton, and he ordered:

"Nupton, you immediately go to the West, meet the Duke of Saint-Griand, and tell her that the empire is now facing the danger of civil strife, and it is very likely that the orc empire will have a chance to take advantage of it. Please come forward to coordinate and prevent the outbreak of civil strife. ."

"Yes!" The two cardinals hurriedly bowed to take their orders.

The Pope’s arrangement seemed to be to negotiate peace with the North, but the strange thing was that the people he sent to the North were Cardinal Mensay, who advocated toughness against the North.

And the Cardinal Napton who was sent to the West by him, if he understands this person's past, he will know that he once served as the Archbishop of the West, but he was transferred immediately after only three months.

It is said that it was because during his tenure as the Archbishop of the West, Knopton had an irreconcilable contradiction with the St. Grian's family... But now, he has been sent to the West by the Pope.

After the confession, the pope did not give any explanation, turned around and left the prayer hall.
