Colin looked at Marquis Garcia's angular profile, and finally sighed.
Colin had already anticipated the "weakness" of Marquis Garcia.
The Marquis of the North has always been a staunch outposter, opposed to all forms of internal strife.
At the beginning, the last Duke of St. Hilde used many means to make this stubborn younger brother march east, but Marquis Garcia just left the rich but frail East, and would rather go to the ice field of the sky and tinkle with the poor. The troll is dead.
In the end, Duke St. Hilde had no choice but to take a risk, but was almost seized by Mr. Ho to seize the entire northern border.
At this time, the invasion of the orc army was imminent. If it was not for the revenge of Vera, Marquis Garcia would never agree to let the northern army approach Yulong City.
Now that Vera is awake, Marquis Garcia has lost his greatest motivation for revenge. At this time, he will naturally only focus on reconciling with the church.
Even Marquis Garcia, let alone others.
The Duke of St. Grian was silent, and when he saw Colin's gaze, he just shrugged his shoulders with an apologetic look.
Colin couldn't do anything about it.
He also understood that Duke St. Grian only wanted to quell the dispute between the Church and the North, and she didn't care whether the North could take the most advantage.
This time, the East Territory led the army to come to Earl Nicole. To say that this person came to the top, it was all thanks to Colin's full support, but unfortunately, now he just bowed his head and remained silent, not daring to meet Colin's gaze.
To be honest, Colin also had some psychological preparations for Earl Nicole's retreat. Although this person also responded to Colin's call and led the army of the east to cooperate with the army of the north to approach Yulong City, in fact, the army of the east has always been In deliberately slowing down the marching speed, there is no need to say what the idea is.
But there was nothing Ke Lin could do about it. Although he had penetrated the Eastern Territory, he had not really conquered this territory after all.
The current eastern lords are in an extremely contradictory state of mind. They are unable to return to the church because of the interception of tithes, but they are unwilling to completely fall to the north and become vassals of the Saint Hilde family.
They were both resentful and afraid of Colin. They wanted Colin to absorb the firepower of the church in front of them, but they were unwilling to cooperate with the north wholeheartedly.
In fact, this is also the hidden danger that Ke Lin left at the beginning, because after he conquered the Eastern Realm, he encountered a war order and did not have time to sort out the Eastern Realm forces.
Now it seems that this Earl of Nicole is still too slick and not loyal enough.
But there was no better candidate for Colin.
Although Anna is suitable, she is a blood slave without self-consciousness, and it is impossible to take charge of the Eastern Realm for him.
And the only direct descendant of the St. Pros family, Eckert, who was Colin's new student, was still too young and overwhelmed.
Therefore, if you want to completely control the Eastern Realm, I am afraid you need to think of other ways.
Colin couldn't help thinking, if he really played the banner of the St. Chapman family, would it be much easier to take charge of the Eastern Territory?
"Count Angele and Marquis Garcia have agreed to reconcile, what do you think?" Emperor Reinhardt urged again.
Colin only felt tired for a while.
This time was originally a great opportunity to weaken the strength of the church, but unexpectedly, as a noble leader, Emperor Reinhardt actually continued to help the church and suppress the northern border.
This ironic scene made Colin suddenly feel a little ironic.
But at the same time, Colin also deeply realized that with the current situation where the imperial aristocracy is fragmented and each has their own plans, it may be difficult to effectively suppress the church.
Suddenly, a wild hope hidden in the bottom of his heart suddenly flooded into Colin's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
At this moment, Colin unconsciously met Queen Midella's gaze.
From her bright eyes, Colin seemed to understand what the Queen wanted to convey——
Now, are you willing to help me kill this stupid emperor?
Colin took a deep breath, suppressed the various thoughts that kept rolling in his heart, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am also willing to reach a reconciliation with the church."
Before Emperor Reinhardt could be happy, he heard Colin add: "However, I have one last condition."
Emperor Reinhard snorted softly, but said patiently, "Speak."
"The Diocese of the North may not be independent, but the appointment and removal of the Archbishop of the North must be approved by the Duke of St. Hilde!" Colin said word by word, "If the Pope is unwilling to agree to this condition, then I will absolutely Will not agree to a settlement!"
Gregory immediately understood Colin's plan, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but before he could speak, Marquis Garcia nodded in agreement:
"Yes, this is also my condition. The last condition!"
Obviously, Marquis Garcia also realized that without this condition, the Archbishop of the North, Adjani, who had publicly accused Gregory, would definitely be liquidated by the church.
Marquis Garcia certainly didn't want Adjani to be a victim of his compromise, so he agreed to Colin's conditions.
Although Gregory was reluctant to let Adjani go, he had to make concessions in the face of the double pressure of Marquis Garcia and Count Angele.
"Well, from now on, the Church will first seek the consent of Duke St. Hilde before appointing or dismissing the Archbishop of the North."
Colin breathed a sigh of relief.
Adjani still has an important role in his plan, and Colin can't give up her yet.
Although the church failed to pay enough price this time, at least Colin has seen some trump cards of the church.
Moreover, he also figured out the fatal flaw in his side, the imperial aristocracy.
At this moment, Colin finally firmed up on a certain idea he had once moved.
"Very good!" Emperor Reinhard laughed and clapped his hands, "If that's the case, then the murder of the Duke of Saint Hilde by Turnance has been properly resolved.
Next, we must go all out to deal with the coming army of orcs!
Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the countermeasures first. "
Duke St. Grian immediately said, "Your Majesty, according to what we have investigated before, the orc army will arrive in the Western Territory at the end of March, so the supporting army must begin to gather in the Western Territory now!"
"The lord's army of Feiyan Ling has been assembled can be set off at any time." Emperor Reinhard nodded, then looked around for a week and asked, "What about the other three realms?"
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Border Coalition has also assembled and can leave at any time." Earl Nicole replied immediately.
"The north is also ready." Marquis Garcia also nodded.
Naturally, there would be no problem in these two situations, and Emperor Reinhardt finally turned his attention to an old man at the long table.
He is the representative of the Southland sent to participate in the talks - Dulles St. Landers, the Southland consul.
This person has watched the excitement for a long time. This time, when everyone's eyes turned to him, he immediately nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the army in the southern border is already on its way. It is expected that they should be able to reach the western border smoothly by the end of March."
"Very good!" Reinhard the Great waved his hand in high spirits and said, "This time against the orcs, I will personally serve as the commander-in-chief!
I believe that it will not be long before we can completely drive this group of dirty and stupid savage creatures back to the west of the Tianduan Mountains! "
