The Dark King

The tax reduction treaty of Patton’s succession to the Pope has plunged the outer wall into a sea of ​​cheers. In this era of clear class system, the tax burden is far more than ordinary people’s imagination. At this moment, no one will protest the new pope. Facts, however, except for places such as the military department and the knight palace.

"What does the Holy See want to do this time? Tax cuts? Want to use this means to gather people's hearts?"

In the conference room at the headquarters of the military region, many generals and chiefs of staff, led by the three commanders-in-chief, sat in the hall, some of them were worried, some were deep, and some were lost in thought.

"According to the latest information, I have found the source of the identity of the new pope. If you say it, you might think I'm joking." A general, a five-star general, looked around the crowd with a trace of mockery and coldness on his face.

"You don't want to sell it, just say it!"

"What identity?"

General Luohu said indifferently: "This little boy named Barton is not from a noble family, nor has he been crowned a knightly medal. In fact, he is an orphan boy from a ghetto! I have found the orphanage where he came from. Verified his identity."

"what?!"

"what are you saying?"

"He's a ghetto?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at General Luohu in disbelief.

This reaction was entirely within the expectation of General Luo Hu. When he first got the news, the reaction was exactly the same as them, but at the moment he felt only a trace of ridiculousness, not that his peers were ridiculous, but that the practice of the bright Holy See was ridiculous. An untouchable to insignificant pariah, sitting in the position of the pope, said no one would believe it!

"He is an orphan in a ghetto, how can he join the Bright Church?" a heroic female general frowned.

General Luohu shrugged slightly, "Did the Bright Holy See change the recruitment rules a few years ago, as long as the nobles were born, they would be exempted from the assessment and enter the probationary stage. He was adopted by a lonely noble before entering the Holy See. No one knows why the nobles adopted such a humble person."

"Did you ask?"

"I can't ask the dead man's mouth."

"They are dead?"

"When my people investigated, they had been dead for a long time. The whole family was killed, and even the children were spared, and there was no living mouth, including the distant relatives who came to visit their home, but unfortunately suffered!" General Luo Hu said indifferently.

Another burly general, with a sullen face, said in a urn: "So, they were killed. It seems that all this is a carefully prepared plan, what conspiracy the Holy See is going to do. Why does staying support a slum in the ghetto to succeed, is he not afraid of blasphemy?!"

"It's not a day or two since the Bright Holy See blasphemed. It is extremely despicable to teach civilians in the name of God and ask for their money!" The previous female general said coldly.

"I disagree with you." The other blonde and white-skinned general looked displeased. "Although the Holy See is excessive in some places, the outer wall area would not be so peaceful without the Holy See spreading the energy of justice for so many years. Disasters and poverty will bring riots, and the Holy See appeases the emotions of civilians. This is something our soldiers will never be able to do. We can’t point everyone with swords, spears, and spears, and tell them not to fight or make trouble. Must be sanctioned?"

The female general sneered: "Can you be sure that the person who spreads the energy of justice is the person of justice? We did not deter civilians with swords and guns, but others have already done so. If there is no light knight touring around, you see there will be How much riot?"

"You are ridiculous!" General Blonde said angrily: "Who stipulates that the person who spreads the energy of justice must be a person of justice? Even if the purpose of the pope is for profit, at least what he does has a good impact. On the one hand, this is enough!"

"Okay." The commander-in-chief, who was over 80 years old, raised his hand slightly to stop the quarrel between the two, saying: "The contribution of the Holy See is undeniable, but the Holy See has become more and more unscrupulous for so many years. Behind the rights, there is the word interest, and the Holy See is no exception. We have suffered a lot in the hands of the Holy See in recent years. You should all know that if you allow the Holy See to continue to expand, wait for the nobles and civilians to fall to their side. At that time, we as the maintenance of public security in the outer wall area could only look up at the Holy See."

"Your words are serious." Another equally elderly white-haired old man beside him smiled indifferently. "What can civilians do, even if they all become believers in the Holy See? How dare they fail?"

"Why not? I don't think we should underestimate the power of civilians. Although they are weak, they are large in number. If they are gathered together, they may not become the power to shake us!" The former 80-year-old man said in a deep voice.

"You are too worried." The white-haired old man chuckled lightly: "If you don't say that these civilians dare not do this, even if they listen to the Holy See and do the right thing with us, they will just take their own lives and die. The iron lion under our hands Crusaders, are you still afraid of these unarmed civilians?"

"Look at the civilians, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss!" The 80-year-old sullenly said.

"I agree." A general echoed.

The white-haired old man glanced at him indifferently: "It's better to talk about the Holy See than to care about these lowly civilians. This time they recommend the new Pope to succeed to the throne. They must want to do a big thing. I am most worried about it. It’s the inner wall area behind the Holy See... If it’s guided by the inner wall area, this matter is in trouble."

Hearing his words, everyone looked at each other, their faces hard to look.

"Commander, if the Holy See intervenes in the inner wall area, should we apply to the defenders in the inner wall area and ask them to send people for reinforcements?" the previous female general asked immediately.

The old man with white hair chuckled and said, "Nothing happened, just speculation, please come to the inner wall area. Do you want to set off a war in the inner wall area?"

The 80-year-old man sitting next to him was silent, did not agree, and did not refuse.

When the female general heard his words, there was a trace of loss in her eyes and a deep sigh in her heart. She knew that the military area always disliked the request for reinforcements from the inner wall area. Even if the savages had violated the fortress and broke the fortress last time, the military area was still rubbing towards the inner wall. The district applied for reinforcements, and the reason is that many generals present are opposed to the request for reinforcements, because once the inner wall district sends people over, they will face the possibility of being reshuffled, especially the three commanders-in-chief , Will also face the possibility of being governed, and no longer supreme!

"I think it's better to use our eyeliner, and then investigate the details to see what the Holy See is going to do." General Luohu Hu said before, breaking the deadlock.

Someone immediately agreed to agree.

During the meeting in the military area, the meeting hall of the Knights Hall shouted and shouted on the pilasters, "Boree! Are you a spy sent by the Holy See? Who allows you to make good claims and support the Holy See on behalf of our entire Knights Hall?" Do you want to draw our knight palace into muddy water?!"

It was an old man with white hair and a master of the knight palace, Vic Jones!

The crowd stared down at a thin old man, waiting for his explanation.

Borry smiled bitterly. When he commended the new pope as his legendary knight, he knew that he would face this scene. He quietly worded the words and said: "The Lord of the Hall, I did not represent the entire Knight Palace, I just represent Personally, I have read the resume of this new pope. I think this person is very good, and he will be an excellent pope in the future, so he commended him."

"Individual?!" Vic-Jones said angrily: "Do people outside think that you represent an individual, do the military districts think so, do the courts think so? I tell you, the Pope's succession to the Holy See has always been due The inner wall area is in control! The pope's sudden replacement of the pope this time must be that the inner wall area suddenly has any plans, otherwise it will never be so sudden! You drag us into this muddy water, it is to destroy us!"
