“Okay, Ive decided,” Petians low voice rang slowly over the hall. “Im asking you to come here not to see you discuss a result, but to answer your questions. Of course, God has given us the power to think, but thinking is the process of judging things wisely, not to calculate a small amount of gain and loss. As my subjects and servants of God, I hope that you can look farther . “
After that, the pope glanced deeply in the elliptical hall with a deep glance, and in his gaze, Archbishop Gagusti stood out.
“Your Majesty, we can understand what you mean, but the Cruzs are our opponents. Right now they are in a turmoil. We can choose to sit on the sidelines or downhole, but we rush in at this time, regardless of His Royal Highness. Is it really possible to win, is it too hasty? “
“I dont think so,” another courtier stood up. “Everyone understands the icing on the cake, but it is precious to send charcoal in the snow. We invest in advance and dont pay much, but if we can weaken our rivals, Enzan said it was a stable business at all costs. “
“Hehe, the Minister of Commerce deserves to be a businessman, with the word of sale, but unfortunately, where is the worlds stable and uncompromising sale? Rodier told us in his book” State “that There are interests and betrayal. The Cruzs eldest son is Cruz first. Even if he really won the throne, he is also the Cruz emperors emperor. These two identities are destined that he cannot stand in the perspective of the Eni people. Thinking about the problem, even if we have signed various treaties with him, he can turn his back on his face. The key is that as two hostile nations lack the necessary means to restrain him, on this premise, I am not optimistic about this so-called sale. “

The Amber Sword book 6 Chapter 228 League II
“… and the war on the east, although Faenzan and the Elves of Elranta have always been good friends, but with a single prophecy, the barrier to the east of the kingdom was removed, and the army went to the great glacier. Is it too hasty? “
“The situation in the TenCity region has also begun to deteriorate. The barbarians invaded the Golden Anchor Port from the north. The two dukes of the Tynor and Hazod family have expressed concerns about the military situation in the north. The commerce and trade will want to expand the mercenary army The strength of this proposal has been shelved to this day … “
The buzzing voices in the hall rose again for a while. Although the courtiers did not stand up and argue this time, the whispering discussion in private fell into Petians eyes, which frowned the Supreme Empire. head.
He looked at Bishop Gaugusti, who stood up first, and replied:
“It is His Excellency Asebantus idea to send the Knights of the Silver Horse south to support the Cruzites.”
This sentence seemed to have any curse, which made the entire hall calm down in an instant. This sudden silence was even more weird than before, as if a lingering north wind whistled past the palace and crowded everyone. His breath froze.
As we all know, Petian III was the pope. In Faenza, the pope was in charge of both the divine and royal powers of the empire, and it can be said to be the supreme figure. But before he was crowned and crowned, his teacher Asebantu XI became even more prestigious, under the majestic crown of today, but in the presence of the previous pope, he was just a child with a scepter.
Asebantu XI was a pope who had experienced jihad. Most of his contemporary politicians, emperors, and even the famous emperor of the Cruz generation have been returned to the dust as blood and fire. Out of the king. There is enough reason under the popes crown to scare anyone.
Even if you add a prefix before the title, its the same.
Petian III seemed to have anticipated the response of his courtiers, so he added: “Moreover, the Knights of the Silver Horse are not to support or rescue the Cruz ’s eldest son, but to support the Cruz.”
“Support the Cruzites?” The courtiers looked at each other, thinking that this might be a sounding excuse to intervene in Cruzs internal affairs?
Petrian III stood up from his throne. His tall and burly figure felt a little breathless for everyone present. He looked at everyone present and said, “Cruzs war is far more complicated than you think. My subjects, this war relationship To each of us, the movement of the Knights of the Silver Horse is just the beginning, and I must explain this to you, because next, I need each of you to be sincere and united. Come with me to meet what will happen next everything of.”
As he said, his face sank at the same time: “For the empire and the church, the next time will be the most difficult. I hope you can let go of your hatred and pick up the share that was a thousand years ago. A holy vow, if anyone is unwilling to do so, or even stalk it, then wait for you. Its not just my anger. “
Petian IIIs voice whispered around the hall. The sense of sensation contained in it made everyone shudder, and the ministers could not help but look at each other for a while.
“Your Majesty …” Bishop Gaugusty froze and asked, “Are all these things you said true?”
Petrian III nodded.
“This is a shrine.”
Suddenly, there was a big noise in the Winter Solstice Palace.
…
In the dark mountains to the west of Mayorthoven. At this moment a little bit of bonfire is rising, looking into the distance, with the glimmer of the Moon of the Golden Sea, you can see that there are winding teams on the plains, and they are entering the forest.
Since the defeat of East Metz. Cruzs retired soldiers fled from the Port of Fattan and north of Ludwig, and partly entered the Evergreen Walkway south, and partly passed through the Mehotophen Basin and westward into the mountains.
After the army of crystal clusters swept the entire Metz, there was no further pursuit, so that the alliance between the fortunate escape of the Black Army and the local nobles in Metz had a chance to breathe, but it did not last long. According to the return of the scouts down the front line, it seemed After a short stay, the crystal cluster army showed signs of continuing to move east.
Click, click
The heavy footsteps of the knight did not make Veronicas mind recover from the military map spread on her legs. The burning light of the bonfire reflected the former Cruzs former regiments face red, and his eyes shone around. Many people were patrolling back and forth, but one of the cluttered footsteps was particularly clear and kept coming to her to stop.
“Teacher, the scouts have returned information. Those terrible monsters have passed the Port of Fattan. It is not clear whether they have moved south, but at least part of them came to Mehotolfin.”
A somewhat tired voice sounded.
Veronica raised her head, and her eyes reflected Fainas figure. Her student had caused her headaches in the past. Although her opponent was very talented, she possessed people both in magic and swordsmanship. Understanding, but the bad temper is really embarrassing, she knew in private that she was a famous female demon in Didu.
But at this moment, the little Qianjin on the flower-leaf collar can rarely find the waywardness and arrogance of the past, and is replaced by mature and resolute Faina wearing a knight armor that she rarely sees on weekdays. With a sabre hanging around her waist, her fair face was covered with a layer of gray, and there were one or two abrasions on her forehead.
But the biggest change is the eyes of the other person. At the moment, those pale blue eyes like the sea are all calm and calm.
Sometimes Veronica couldnt help thinking, if this nightmare didnt happen now, how gratifying she would be to her students.
Unfortunately, assumptions can only be hypotheses.
The battle at East Metz has long been the biggest nightmare in the minds of all who have experienced it, even for her who has experienced that jihad sixty years ago. She sometimes compares her experience in jihad with everything she has encountered these days, but every time, she cant help but think of the scene where Cruzs army collapsed under the impact of the sea of crystals.
