"Have you heard that news?"

After the routine prayer ceremony in the Great Hall, a cardinal suddenly said.

At this time, the graceful saint on the side smiled: "Are you talking about the bloodthirsty demon kingdom? I heard that even the evil queen was killed and her body hung on the city wall."

Abel has heard this rumor too many times these days and is no longer angry.

Anyway, my body was well protected by my brother, but the traitor Madias was the one whose body was hung on the city wall.

"Ahem."

After listening to the conversation between the two, the Pope cleared his throat, "A long time ago, God taught us not to do evil things and to be unhappy in retribution. The affairs of the Demon Kingdom explain this truth well."

At this time, Abel immediately handed over the words: "Holy Father, should we take advantage of the opportunity of these demons being in chaos to send troops to the north and kill these god-reversing people?"

The pope stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, it is said that the demon kingdom has a strict system and the evil queen is strong. How could such a thing happen overnight?"

"What does the Holy Father mean?" asked a cardinal.

"I mean, this matter needs to be carefully considered. If you don't fight, you will have to be sure to completely eradicate the Demon Country. The Crusaders have suffered two consecutive defeats recently and their morale is sluggish. If they have no gains in the Demon Country, they will be afraid they will not recover."

"What the Holy Father said is right. I took great losses to the Crusaders because of my carelessness. I myself..." Abel asked, putting himself in the role of Spart.

The Pope shook her hand: "The Saint doesn't have to feel too guilty. I misjudged the previous episode and underestimated the strength of the God-reversing Cyprus. This time we must learn from the lessons we learned last time."

Although the old man spoke very cautiously, Abel laughed in his heart: If he really learned his lesson, he should have surrendered to his brother obediently, instead of gathering the cardinals together to discuss how to deliver a new round of joy.

"I think the expedition is necessary, but there is no need to shake the foundation of Lomulus. We can use the power of the vassal states to make the army of the vassal states the main force." said a cardinal.

"Then I ask you, the vassal states gathered troops to defeat Fort Transcy. Who is the result of the battle? Will they obediently hand over the land and wealth they have obtained?"

After hearing this, the Pope waved his hand: "That's right, even if the land in the north is handed over to us, it will be enclaves. Not only is it difficult to manage, it is still very barren..."

These words made Abel want to roll his eyes.

Barren? The land of Zhuye Empire is much more fertile than the ghost place of Lomulus.

It’s just that the empire is in the north, with a slightly harsh climate, but it still has crop growth that adapts to that climate.

The pope didn't know Abel's inner complaints. The old man thought for a while and continued, "Land can be divided by the vassal states, and wealth can be rewarded to them, but the Holy Church must rebuild its authority through this expedition. Even if the expedition troops were dispatched from the vassal states, they still needed to bear the name of the 'crusader' and be under the control of the saint."

"The Holy Father is wise. In this way, if the expedition is victorious, then the honor will naturally belong to the Holy Church. If the result is not satisfactory, it is also the reason why the army of the vassal states did not fight with all their might, and the Holy Church will not lose its majesty because of this." said the cardinal.

This is a typical garbage leader thinking. If you have any results, you will take the blame if you have any problems.

However, in this way, it would be difficult for Abel to take complete control of the expeditionary forces, and the lords of the vassal states would not completely hand over their command.

The direction of the war is likely to deviate from Abel's expectations, which makes the situation uncontrollable.

But Abel's purpose is to leave Lomulus and find opportunities to contact his true body. Once he returns to his body, Abel can use nuclear strike magic to force the Crusaders to retreat.

However, she also knew that even enemy troops could not massacre arbitrarily.

Because a large number of humans die at the same time, it will lead to an instant outbreak of resentment, which is likely to activate the cornerstone of the world with negative emotions similar to malicious fragments, resulting in catastrophic consequences.

Moreover, if the strength of human countries in the East Continent declines seriously, it will break the balance of power. At that time, the elves in the East and the lizards in the southeast will not know what actions will happen.

One of the important reasons why the old Zhuye Empire fell apart so quickly was that it dispersed the empire's defensive power in order to resist these two races.

Of course, even if the old Zhu Ye Empire could assemble all its troops, it would probably not be able to stop the rebellious second true ancestor from killing his mother. What should happen will happen, but the country will not fall so quickly. The Zhu Ye Empire can probably maintain a relatively large scale without having to settle in a corner like it is now.

"Holy, what do you think of the Holy Father's proposal?" asked a cardinal.

After hearing this, Abel nodded deeply: "The Father's idea represents God's will, and I naturally agree with it. But when we organize this expedition, we cannot just send me alone, and we all rely on the vassal states to send troops, right?"

The pope smiled: "Of course it's impossible to just let you go by yourself. How many soldiers do you need?"

"At least five thousand elite crusaders are needed," Abel said.

At this time, Lomulus still had about 50,000 crusaders. Abel's original plan was to take at least half of it and send it to Fort Transcy as a blood bag.

But now the plan has changed, so at least one-tenth of Lomulus's military strength will be weakened.

"Five thousand, don't the saint feel that there is a little less?"

"With these five thousand elite troops as the main force, each vassal state will also gather at least 70,000 troops. If they are a little more radical, it will not be difficult to assemble an army of 100,000 troops."

The Pope nodded: "It is true, but as the Holy Maiden's personal guard, there may be a little fewer than five thousand people. So, I will add a thousand Fearless Crusaders to you, how about it?"

But Abel shook his head: "While commanding five thousand men, I cannot distract myself from this thousand fearless crusaders."

What she meant was that it was very difficult to control the Fearless Crusaders.

"It's okay, this thousand fearless crusaders will be ruled by me personally," said the Pope.

Of course, this old man would not go to the battlefield in person, but he would be in Lomulus wearing a helmet of dominance.

To put it bluntly, this Fearless Crusader is like a military supervisor, guarding against any abnormal movements of the Saint.
