A ray of sunshine broke through the dawn, and the whole city of Guangming was still harmonious and peaceful. Caravans and buyers were bustling in the downtown area, and no one felt the undercurrent of the Holy See.
In the Temple of Light.
Xu Shuo was studying the magic book here. Suddenly, the formation in the center of the temple lit up and a small jade floated out.
This jade will appear in the Pope's small temple instead of in the priests' temple, which means that it is not a message from the Knights of the Sun.
It's news from the royal capital, or news from the far north.
Xu Shuo put down the book and called Jade over.
After unfolding the message and reading it, his face remained calm, his silver-white eyes showed no fluctuation, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After just a moment of thought, Xu Shuo reported back the news that the Pope would go to the royal capital to crown the eldest prince, and that the Holy See Army would go to the Northland disguised as the Knights of the Sun today.
Even if he didn't know whether the other party was a player, since the other party was willing to take the initiative to pass on information to him, Xu Shuo didn't mind giving him a copy of the information here.
Of course, it depends on whether the other party’s information is true and whether the information he gave is true.
It does not matter.
After delivering the news, Xu Shuo continued to read the magic book. Not long after, he sensed an attendant calling him at the door of the Palace of Light.
He put the sun crown that had been set aside back on, covering his silvery eyes, and then stood up and walked out of the temple.
…
The heavy door flashed with golden light and opened automatically to both sides.
At this time, in addition to the acolyte, there was also a twilight archbishop wearing red clerical robes with gold trim.
"His Holiness the Pope."
When the two saw the bright and powerful figure, they quickly bowed their heads and saluted.
Xu Shuo nodded slightly, turned around and sat down on the Holy Seat in the main hall. After the Archbishop walked in and bowed again, he said in a low voice: "What about the Far North?"
There was no surprise in the Archbishop's eyes, and he just continued: "There was an incident in Silver City last night. A strange woman walked out of the Far North Mountains and commanded the magical beasts to attack the city. The Duke of Silver responded in time and brought a silver shield with him.
The legion's resistance ended at dawn, all the monsters were wiped out, and the woman was also beheaded."
This is naturally what the official notification said.
The news that Duke Baiyin sent to Xu Shuo just now clearly stated that the elves had appeared and had fled to the mainland.
The convenience of magic is fully demonstrated in military battle reports.
It was calm in Guangming City last night.
But in the far north, the war was raging, with heavy snow falling and blood flowing, and humans and monsters fighting to the death all night long.
Legend has it that Warcraft is a pet kept by ice and snow elves, and this rumor is also true.
In addition to the wolf monsters, as the battle situation changed drastically, more and more monsters rushed out of the mountains to join the battle. It was not over until the elves escaped from the siege and escaped from the extreme north.
In this battle, it is said that the Silver Duke was seriously injured, and the Silver Shield Legion suffered countless casualties before they could defend the city-state.
In addition to the news from the Holy See, the Royal Capital also received the battle report, as well as the Duke of Silver's request for the Royal Capital to send troops for support.
Because the Silver Shield Legion is unable to fight anymore, if the Warcraft takes this opportunity to sneak attack on the mainland, the Silver City-State will probably fall.
The above is all official news.
Xu Shuo put his right hand on the armrest, and while listening to the Overlord's report, he tapped his fingers here and there.
Until the Overlord finished speaking, the hall gradually became quiet, and there was no sound at all.
Although there was light lingering in the Palace of Light, it was just ordinary illumination. Xu Shuo's gaze passed through the shield of Douchi and fell on the two gray figures.
After a long while, he said: "Are you ready to go to the royal capital?"
But what he said was far different from the topic of the Far North just now.
The Overlord was stunned for a moment before replying: "We are ready. The Obsidian Knights have set off as the vanguard army and will wait for the main group in the city-state of Auckland in front. At noon, the Bright Moon Knights will set off together with the Holy See Army, but
Our route is different from that of the Holy See Army."
In addition, there is also a Holy See army disguised as the Knights of the Sun and marching towards Cassel Castle.
It can be said that the three knights under the Pope went in different directions. In the end, a total of four teams dispersed towards the royal capital.
This kind of behavior is semi-secret and semi-public.
If the royal capital planned to ambush the Pope's vehicle midway, it would have to send at least four teams.
But if this is really done, it is impossible for the Vatican to not get wind of such a big movement from the four armies.
Whenever the king finds the wrong team, they can respond in time.
This is a little bit of conspiracy. After all, this operation can be regarded as the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. The Pope of the Holy See is bound to be unable to travel calmly.
Hearing this, Xu Shuo nodded and continued: "Change the itinerary of the Holy See Army going to Cassel Castle. Let them wait there for the Duke of Silver, and then go to the Royal Capital together, or follow the other party's instructions."
The Archbishop paused: "Duke Silver is also involved?"
When he said this, the elder's eyes looked slightly strange, as if to say: How many other things are you secretly doing, Your Holiness, without telling us?
Moreover, the battle report just received said that Duke Silver was seriously injured and was about to die.
The reason why the Holy See of Light pays attention to the situation in the Far North is because there once was a clan of elves dormant there.
The history that others may not know, even ordinary bishops in the Holy See, is that the war a thousand years ago was actually caused by the dispute between the ice and snow elves and the Holy See of Light.
Ice elves worship their goddess of dawn.
The belief in the human continent is the God of Light.
This... violates faith.
Therefore, the Holy See of Light has always been paying attention to the situation in the far north.
Now is the moment when the divine power and the royal power are fighting at their peak, but the disappearing dragon clan has appeared, and something has happened in the far north that has been silent for thousands of years. Could it be that the battle of faith thousands of years ago will happen again?
This power struggle seems to be more complicated.
After explaining the matter, the white-haired and pale-faced bishop left with a heavy heart.
Xu Shuo was not in a hurry to return to the temple. He sat on the high throne and looked at the priest waiting at the entrance of the palace.
"Come in."
Xu Shuo said calmly.
The church attendant at the door paused, then hurriedly lowered his head and walked into the hall, knelt down under the throne and saluted.
His posture was respectful and respectful, and he was lying on the ground with extremely lofty faith. He did not dare to raise his head and look directly at the Pope's face, until he found a swaying robe hem on the floor in front of him.
"stand up."
The voice came from close to Chi Chi's head.
The teaching attendant did not dare to neglect at all and stood up quickly, but still lowered his head.
Xu Shuo looked at his body shape and the vague aura of light on his body, his eyes slightly satisfied.
The Curia does not only have four separate teams.
There are five.
Xu Shuo himself was one of them, because he did not intend to follow the Holy See step by step from the beginning. He planned to go out for a run by himself.
But before that happens, a pope is needed to cover up the situation.
