He had already arrived when Saki first entered the Sapphire Hotel. He only watched Saki's performance and Joseph's response from the outside. It was not until the moment Saki threatened to take action that he broke in.
After entering the door, Roy made a gesture to Joseph. It was exactly the same gesture he made when he met Joseph in the caravan.
From that moment on, Joseph knew that the young man named Roy was here. Not only was he here, but he also brought with him the bandit army that had recently become famous in Munich!
The bandits are actually our own people?
This realization has already surprised Joseph. When he saw the bandits showing off their battle rings, the expressions on the faces of Saki and others were like those of Miss Ant being raped by Mr. Elephant, and he almost laughed.
Internal injuries come.
At this moment, he finally let go of all his worries.
With such strength behind him, even if he is abandoned by Wallace, what does he have to fear? At worst, he can just take off his robe and change places.
He didn't know what the secret monk's background was. His impression of him only lasted since the last time he met in Meiding City. But he felt much closer to Roy. Once they came, they knew each other.
His true identity, and secondly, the other person's age also gave him a sense of security.
And more importantly, through Roy's window, he was able to observe many things.
Ever since he met Roy, Joseph had learned about this civilian boy through different channels. During this period, the more Roy struggled in the academy, the more excited he became in Medina City.
Philip of the Knights of Red Leaves, Grand Duke Adolf of Lullian, and Miss Moya from the Ministry of Supervision, who makes people tremble with fear when mentioning them...these names formed a complex that dazzled a little priest who was at the bottom of the Holy See.
A world of fascination.
A letter of allegiance to the devil has tied him to this mysterious ship. Although he has no ability, it does not mean that he has no ambition. After being immersed in the Holy See for many years, he has long understood that as long as the power behind him is
Powerful enough. Even a pig can become a red archbishop.
From Wallace's protection to the Wenger case, he has tasted the sweetness and understood how he should express his loyalty.
Therefore, whether facing Moon or Saki, he gritted his teeth and stood firm.
And now, everything he has done has finally paid off in the most perfect way, even more than he expected!
What happened later became a game played by Roy and Joseph to tease Saki.
Without Saki's commotion, today's meeting was originally just a private communication. But now, it has become a battle in full view. How to take advantage of this situation, for Joseph and Roy, it is just a glance.
Things you can figure out.
Because, this is originally a ready-made script!
Bang!
The fist hit Saki's nose, and blood spattered.
Saki's face was like a watermelon that had been smashed by a stone, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
The priests in black are extremely ruthless. They are all veterans of executions. They are so familiar with the most fragile and painful parts of the human body that they will not make the wrong move even with their eyes closed. Especially when they need to express themselves, they use
The ability of the whole body.
The fist with the middle knuckle protruding hit Saki's vitals hard with every punch. At first, he could scream twice, but later, he couldn't even scream.
When Saki's voice deepened, the black priests stopped. Kenneth turned to look at Joseph. Joseph looked at Roy.
Roy nodded.
With a click, Kenneth broke Saki's neck.
Saki is dead.
Eyes wide open, eyes wide open.
Tonight, he was supposed to step onto a higher ladder, and the people who attacked him should have been the bones at his feet. He should be sitting in the luxuriously decorated room of the Holy See in the West End, drinking the most expensive wine, celebrating his victory.
.And these people should be thrown into carriages and transported to the crematorium like dead dogs.
Saki doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. This is originally a world of the jungle. As long as he can step onto a higher level, he doesn't care at all about the life and death of these people!
But in less than half a prayer, everything was reversed.
The prey became the predator. The script he wrote himself became someone else's drama.
All of this was already doomed when he saw Joseph hugging the bandit leader. Joseph knew, the damn bandit leader knew it, and he knew it even better.
They took his script and revised it to perfection.
In this script, there is no need to blame the bandits anymore, because the bandits really showed up. There is no need to kill everyone in the Sapphire Hotel to silence them. Because they are the proof that Saki died in
In the hands of a band of robbers, he was the perfect witness to remove Joseph's suspicion.
This is a perfect play.
The only difference is that the victim has changed from Joseph to himself. And tonight, he directed himself, and walked into this place of death step by step.
The last thing reflected in Saki's pupils was the faces of a group of black-clad priests.
From the faces of these people, what he saw was resentment towards himself, as well as fear and admiration for Joseph. The moment his consciousness completely left, a thought solidified in his mind.
Both himself and the people in Buron County underestimated Joseph.
This white and fat middle-aged man may really be just a sheep. But when there is a tiger standing behind him, he is more terrifying than the most ferocious wolf!
The reason why these priests attacked themselves so unreservedly was because they were eager to prove their reliability in front of the secret they had just obtained.
A bit of fiery red shone in Saki's eyes.
The rising sun in the sky has jumped beyond the horizon, bringing another brand new day in this troubled world.
.............................
.............................
"I came over as soon as I received your letter," Roy and Joseph stood on the porch of the small hotel building.
The sky was gradually getting brighter. The door of the hotel dozens of meters away showed a broken figure in the dim light.
Not far away, the bandit army was counting the harvest of the plunder. The knights of the Western Holy See were not strong, but their equipment was really good. In this world, getting trophies from dead enemies was originally the main source of wealth for knights.
The guards of the Holy See of Bronn County and the priests in black were helping. They peeled off their armor and valuable jewelry, and immediately ran over and put them in the pile of belongings of the bandits. They were a little too attentive. As long as the bandits got the
The military knight's approval. Or just a few words, and these guys laughed without eyes or teeth.
Although they were all his trusted subordinates, and he gained a lot of satisfaction from their increasingly awe-inspiring attitude, Joseph still felt a little blushed when he saw their appearance.
However, this cannot be blamed on his subordinates.
In the Holy See, a small county bishop is just a low-level figure. Besides, Bronn County is just a rural place in the south. Compared with the big counties in Di Du, it is simply inferior.
When he saw the bandit army, a group of high-level knights, he wanted to go and please him personally, not to mention this group of country bumpkin subordinates who had not seen much of the world?
Looking at the knights in front of him and listening to Roy's words, Joseph burst into tears of gratitude.
Compared with the mysterious monk who saw the dragon but never saw its tail, the young man in front of him had a more realistic feeling. He didn't know that the two people were the same person. He just felt that if he wanted to be worthy of his trust and reliance, the mysterious
The secret monk is the best choice. When it comes to dealing with cooperation, Roy makes him relax.
However, Joseph was not so arrogant as to think that he could stand on the same level as Roy. Facing this young man, his attitude was respectful and humble.
"Master Roy," this is the name Joseph heard from the bandit knights. He also called it fluently. "I'm really embarrassed to bother you to go there personally for such a trivial matter."
"Sir, you did a good job." Roy pulled his tiger skin to make a big flag, feeling a little strange.
However, he knew very well that for someone like Joseph, his age and appearance were really not suitable for him to be a loyal master. On the contrary, a mysterious and powerful symbol was more suitable. Let him continue to be in awe.
In his mind, the secret monk is better.
With that said, Roy turned to Joseph and said, "How are you going to deal with Wenger's matter?"
Although few people know about it, the grudge between Roy and Wenger is not a secret. As long as you know Roy's previous experience in Borabel, you can understand his attitude towards Wenger with a little thinking.
In Joseph's opinion, the secret monk and Wenger may not have any hatred, but they just want to kill them all because of Roy's relationship. Knowing this, he naturally knows how to speak.
"I listen to you, young master." He turned his head and looked in the direction of the cellar, which was guarded by several priests in black. A fierce light flashed in his small eyes, "How about I kill him now!"
Roy was greatly satisfied with Joseph's knowledge and interest.
This kind of guy who has no bottom line and is good at flattering has always been the most popular subordinate. Although Big Head has hundreds of high-level knights under his command, there is no one like Joseph.
The elves are born by nature, and the knights have the pride of knights. Their loyalty will never be used for flattery. Even old Grandet, the one he admires the most is Miss Malt, who is more ruthless than him in terms of money.
He often criticized this young master for spending money recklessly, which made Roy very embarrassed.
Therefore, although he knew that Joseph did not think so, his words sounded really comfortable.
Of course, since the subordinates have expressed this, a wise superior will not be so stupid as to put the other party into an embarrassing situation. Besides, in the current situation, Wenger is still useful.
Roy shook his head, smiled slightly and said: "Kill him, you will not be able to explain in front of Wallace."
"Should we hand him over to Wallace and let him go?" Joseph puffed up his chest and was filled with righteous indignation, "No, that guy has offended you, young master. Even if I try to be punished, I still have to give you this tone."
Roy's smile at Joseph became warmer. He waved his hand and said: "It's easy to kill him. However, there is no need now. Handing him to Wallace will be a great achievement for you. Besides, now
After Saki's robbery, Wenger's weight becomes even heavier."
Joseph fell silent.
He understands better than anyone that once tonight's incident is exposed, Wallace will be the most outraged. Losing Wenger will mean that he will lose the most important card in his hand when facing the Langley people.
Wallace was only angry at Saki and the group of guys he represented who took the initiative to flatter the Langris people.
This incident signified that those guys were already on the move and dared to break away from his control and take risks.
For Wallace, this was absolutely intolerable.
And if at this time, he discovers that he not only destroyed Saki's conspiracy, but also loyally handed Wenger to her alive even though he knew it was not good for him. Then his status in his mind will immediately change.
He has risen to the position of a confidant. Even if he hands Wenger over to the people of Langley, he will try his best to protect himself.
After all, if such a loyal subordinate was resold by him, then his heart would be too cold. I wonder how many of his subordinates would feel chilled by this.
In this way, although my predicament cannot be said to be completely resolved, at least it will be gone in a short period of time. Maybe I will get a lot of benefits from this.
But, is this really what Roy really thinks?
If he gets all the benefits, what can the young master get? If Roy is as honest, confused and easy to bully as he appears on the surface, Joseph is the first to not believe it. If he offends Wallace, he may not gain anything. If he offends this
Young Master, I'm afraid... Joseph glanced at the busy bandit knights and started to sweat a little.
Seeing Joseph's expression, Roy naturally understood what he was worried about and said: "Of course, I don't mean to let you hand it over to him for nothing. If he really takes refuge with the Lanlithians, then we would be too stupid."
Yes. I think you can say a few more words when you see Wallace."
"Oh?" Joseph asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Roy whispered a few words, and Joseph blinked and nodded frequently.
"Okay," Roy said, "That's it. I'll let Wallace decide what to choose when the time comes."
Looking at Roy's smiling face, Joseph chewed on his words. The more he chewed, the more profound they became. He wiped his forehead and suddenly found that he was sweating even more.
.............................
.............................
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Xilin had just sat at the dining table and had a sip of beef nǎi when Mu En rushed in impatiently and ruined the good mood of the day.
"What did you say?" Xilin looked at Moon, who was sweating profusely, quietly. Only the hand holding the cup tightly and the throbbing veins on his forehead could tell how angry he was at this moment.
Saki is dead? He was killed by bandits when he went to ask Joseph for help?
Damn it. What happened!
"He didn't discuss this matter with me," Moon explained. "I just received the news. It said that he took people to the Sapphire Hotel to find Joseph last night, but unexpectedly encountered a group of bandits who robbed him. Because he and the group of bandits
A conflict broke out and he and the people he had brought with him were killed. Dozens of people witnessed it."
"The bandits?" Xilin's voice almost came out from between his teeth.
"Yes, sir. It's the bandit group called the Bandit Army. These guys have been committing crimes one after another in recent times. Not only have they taken advantage of the underworld, they have destroyed the lairs of many bandit groups, and I heard that even the Fifth Army Corps
The convoy robbery may have been carried out by them. It was simply audacious.”
Moon wiped his sweat and said: "I'm afraid Saki also wanted to show off in front of you, sir, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect that?!" Schilling exploded, roared, stood up suddenly, and overturned the breakfast table, "In order to get that old fox Wallace to hand over Wenger, how many good words did I say and how much effort did I put in?
?It took a lot of effort to get him on board, but that idiot Saki dared to ruin my big event without even thinking about it!"
Schilling's roar shook the entire room. Whether it was Old Wells, Kevin in the room, or the servants and guards in the corridor, they all fell silent in the roar like a volcanic eruption.
This was the first time many people had seen Xilin so angry.
This middle-aged man, who had always been unhurried and gentle, had completely lost his calm demeanor at this moment.
After yelling, Xilin ripped off the scarf around his neck and looked at Moon coldly: "Go on."
"The city defense force only received the report from the owner of the Sapphire Hotel this morning," Moon said. "They sent a whole brigade of cavalry and two brigade of infantry to rush there and blocked the intersection. However, the bandits had already
He had already run away. On-site inspection revealed that, except for Saki and his guards, everyone else was just robbed of money and a little frightened. No one was injured. But..."
"But what?" Xilin gritted his teeth and said.
"The testimonies of these people are very unfavorable to Saki..." Moon whispered the victim's testimony that Saki tried to impersonate a bandit, but was overheard by the real bandit, leading to a conflict and death.
Xilin kicked the fallen chair away and pointed his finger at Moon. His face was ashen and he was so angry that he could not speak.
The Sapphire Hotel is quite famous in the city of Munich. Even he, who has just arrived here not long ago, has heard of it. Those who can stay here are all dignitaries. These people, if they are alone with him, Xilin
Yes, he is not afraid of anyone. But this does not mean that these rich country people are easy to mess with.
This is their territory, and they have ten thousand ways to hide, gossip, and put pressure on those who have a relationship with them.
Schilling could fully imagine how angry those people were when Saki tried to impersonate the bandit army and kill everyone there. From their testimonies, we can know that this was the time when the bandit army only robbed their property without killing them.
Their reason is that the bandits don't want to take the blame, and at the same time, they also want to make the Holy See lively and lively.
Xilin didn't know what kind of people the bandits were, but this stick hit him right where it hurt the most.
Think with your butt. He also knows how angry Wallace will be now!
"Prepare the car!"
Xilin strode out and said angrily.
"Go to Munich Cathedral!"
…………………….
…………………….
At this moment, Munich Cathedral was in chaos.
Morning classes have stopped. Believers, deacons and priests wearing robes of different colors are standing in groups of three and five in the courtyard, corridors and steps, talking incessantly. The ascetics have shaved off their top hair.
, also walked out of their dark and simple retreat rooms. They looked at the groups of Vatican knights and guards rushing back and forth, with worried expressions on their faces.
Looking down from the window on the upper floor of the church, outside the wall, many people were pointing in this direction. Occasionally, some malicious people took advantage of the chaos and threw stones or rotten fruits here.
The robbery that occurred at the Sapphire Hotel at night has spread throughout the city of Munich. In this extraordinary period, any movement will trigger riots in the city. What's more, Fano sent a whole team of aggressive soldiers to report
.
It was said to be a report, but the leading guy was very arrogant and rude in his words. It was as if everyone here was Saki's accomplice.
"If you have done the same thing before, you'd better confess it as soon as possible! Don't think about blaming it all on Saki alone. Hey, the district bishop pretended to be a robber. This is a good idea."
These were the exact words of the damn captain of the guard. Not only him, but the face of the police chief next to him also looked very ugly. Those eyes looked like a thief to everyone.
It's no wonder when you think about it.
The position of the Holy See in the St. Solan Empire is already awkward. The believers may be polite. These guys only come to the church once a year and a half for business, and they are hostile to the Holy See from the bottom of their hearts.
On a normal day, they might not be disrespectful, but once something like this happens, and in this wartime where everyone is holding back their anger, they immediately feel like they have been given a shot of blood, holding back their energy to fight.
Find trouble.
Although the team leader only saw the monks who were responsible for delivering the message, after they left, everyone still heard the roar coming from Archbishop Wallace's room.
"Find Joseph immediately! Find him!"
Everyone knew what Saki was going to do. Pretending to be a bandit and plundering someone was just spreading rumors. However, for Archbishop Wallace, this was of a much worse nature than if he actually became a bandit.
Therefore, finding Joseph is the most important thing now. Several bishops and papal knights were sent out. They must find Joseph before Archbishop Wallace's anger escalates.
If anything happened to Joseph, or if the man he imprisoned died, Munich Cathedral would be reduced to ashes by the wrath of Archbishop Wallace.
However, just as everyone was rushing around like ants on a hot pot, suddenly, the guard on the Holy See Tower blew the horn.
A cavalry team, surrounded by a carriage, drove quickly along the road to Mount Oder and entered the gate that the guards hurriedly opened.
"Joseph, it's Joseph."
Seeing the mark on the carriage, everyone present was excited. Crowds surrounded him from all directions. When Joseph got off the carriage, everyone cordially greeted him.
At this moment when Archbishop Wallace's anger was hanging overhead and an unreasonable disaster was affecting the Lurian Church, they had never felt that Joseph was so pleasing to the eye.
"Joseph County Bishop. Your Excellency is waiting for you." Wallace's confidant Brooke personally greeted him down the steps and led Joseph who got off the carriage into the foyer. This is a rare scene in the Munich church. You know
Although Brooke was only a monk, several district bishops were respectful when meeting him.
"Master Brooke, you are too polite." Joseph, who had a dusty face and looked extremely tired, followed Brooke up the steps.
"Master Joseph, don't be polite to me," Brooke said. "I don't know, Wenger..."
"Alive and in a safe place." Joseph replied without hesitation.
As soon as he heard this, the nervous expression on Brook's face obviously relaxed. When he turned into the corridor, he suddenly reached out and patted Joseph's shoulder gently. A smile of approval appeared on his face.
"Lord Joseph, your future is bright!"
This is a clear and unmistakable way of lowering one's stature and deliberately making good friends. It is not subtle or subtle, and even a fool can understand it.
Normally, no one would have heard such words in front of a person as profound as Brooke. Even if he showed kindness, he would remain silent. But now, he showed such an attitude, obviously he looked at Joseph differently.
However, this was not what flattered Joseph the most.
When they walked through the quiet corridor and reached the door of Archbishop Wallace's room, the heavy door opened, and the respected Archbishop Wallace had actually greeted him at the door.
At this moment, Joseph finally understood what a huge gift Roy had given him.
The rhetoric had already gone through Joseph's mind countless times. When Wallace asked, he recounted what happened last night, including how Saki appeared and how he seduced himself into betraying Wallace.
How he became so angry after being rejected by himself. How he pretended to be a bandit, and then the bandit happened to show up. He was angry at Saki for pretending to be his name, and he heard the rude remarks made by Saki's knights, so he immediately killed him...
This narration made Wallace's forehead throbbing with veins. If Saki hadn't already been dead, he would have strangled him to death with his own hands!
When Joseph finished speaking, Wallace and Brooke looked at each other and nodded quietly.
They knew more or less the details of last night's robbery. Judging from the testimonies of the hotel owner and passengers, they corroborated Joseph's words. The only strange thing was that the mysterious and ruthless bandit army was so big this time.
Out of mercy, he only killed Saki and his gang, but left Joseph untouched.
Of course, no matter how rich their imaginations were, they would never have imagined that Joseph had colluded with the bandits, and that the bandits even went to the Sapphire Hotel just for Joseph.
You know, Sacchi has ruled the Western Church for so many years, and he is so tyrannical that he can only rely on his eight just knights. And Joseph is just a newly appointed county bishop, and hundreds of knights take action for him? What a joke!
Not to mention Joseph, not even Wallace!
The only explanation may be that Joseph's luck is really incredible, and that damn Saki is really unlucky to the extreme!
I heard that Wenger was still alive and in the hands of Joseph. The more Wallace looked at Joseph, the more he liked him. This guy may be a little less talented, but he is a lucky guy. If he hadn't got the Wenger case, I'm afraid
Now I have no bargaining chips with the Langris people.
What's even more valuable is that this guy is loyal.
If it were another person, I'm afraid he would have taken advantage of last night's chaos to kill Wenger and blame it directly on the bandits! But this guy, knowing that handing over Wenger would do him no good,
Still, he rushed over as soon as the incident happened. Looking at his dusty and tired face, it was obvious that he was frightened and had not rested. Who would be willing to abandon such a subordinate?
Wallace hesitated for a moment.
The situation in Lullian is unclear now, and he does not want to offend the people of Lanlith at this time. Handing over Wenger is almost a certainty. However, once Wenger is handed over, he will be on the ship of Lanlith and will never get off.
To hand over or not to hand over?
"You should know the purpose of my coming. What do you think of this matter?" Wallace looked at Joseph and frowned tightly.
Unknowingly, he had regarded Joseph as his confidant. However, this sentence was not so much a question for advice, but rather a question he was asking himself. These days, this question has been bothering him.
Until now, he has not made a final decision.
Facing Joseph, he asked almost subconsciously.
As soon as he heard Wallace's words, Joseph knew that the opportunity had come. From the moment he walked into Munich Cathedral, he thought about the words Roy told him all the time.
"Sir, originally it was not my turn to speak on this matter," Joseph took over the conversation under Brooke's somewhat surprised gaze and said sincerely, "However, after what happened last night, I think we might as well think about a few issues...
….”
Wallace took a deep look at Joseph and said, "Say."
"First, where did Saki get such courage," Joseph said, "This is your parish, sir. As a subordinate, he actually dared to put his hand on your head. What did he rely on? And what else?
How many people are like him?!"
As soon as Joseph's words came out, Brooke's expression changed.
He realized that he had really underestimated this guy with a useless look. The first question he asked hit the target.
Needless to say, what did Saki rely on? The target of the attack was naturally the people of Langris. And the latter question swept a large area. Not only did several district bishops get involved, but he also pointed out implicitly that since they
Or your subordinates, they can betray you and wait for the Langris people's ship...
Unfortunately, this is what Wallace hates and worries the most!
"Go on!" Wallace's face was ashen.
"Secondly, although Grand Duke Adolf is in danger, after all, worse news has not yet come. Moreover, below the Grand Duke, there is General Fano and the lords loyal to him. There is also the royal family and the entire aristocratic class above, and they may not be able to
How can you admit defeat so easily? What if the situation reverses in a few days..."
Both Wallace and Brooke nodded. In fact, the possibility of this question is very small, but in such a conversation, this is also Joseph's idea, and there is no need to refute it.
"The Langris family wants to fish in the troubled waters of Lulian. Who knows if there are others?" Joseph murmured to himself, "I was really shocked when I saw the lineup of bandits last night. Are these guys really bandits?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Wallace and Brooke became serious. Wallace also stood up suddenly and paced back and forth several steps.
Joseph continued: "Third, sir, you know that Wenger's case was originally tried by a secular court. Although we can try it in the name of the Holy See, it concerns secular nobles. Even in the court, local nobles need to serve as joint judges. We don't have it.
Power cannot deal with him privately."
There is no doubt about this. If the Holy See deals with the nobles privately, it is tantamount to declaring war on the imperial power. It may be possible in Pompeii and the Philip Empire, but it is not feasible in Saint-Soulan.
This also means that if they want to hand over Wenger to someone from another country, they will risk Solan's disapproval. And more importantly, they cannot bypass General Fano and the Lurian nobles loyal to Archduke Adolf.
Especially now that this matter has been put on the table with Saki's stupid behavior, I'm afraid everyone is watching!
If you dare to make friends with Wenger, you must first ask the rulers here if they agree!
At this time, even if the Langlis people get Wenger, I am afraid that Schilling will not be able to take Wenger away just like this!
This third question made the room extremely quiet. Brooke was silent and did not speak, while Wallace looked up at the ceiling, thinking deeply.
For a long time, the two looked at each other. Brooke turned to Joseph with understanding and asked: "In your opinion, Joseph, what should we do?"
"Hand over the person," Joseph said without hesitation, "but don't hand over the hand."
"Oh?" This unexpected answer refreshed Wallace. He lowered his head and looked at Joseph, "What do you mean by not taking the initiative to have sex?"
"Since Schilling dares to take Wenger there, he naturally has a way to take him out of Munich." Joseph's brows were tightly clenched together, his eyes flashing, "If I guessed correctly..."
"What?" Brooke and Wallace asked at the same time.
Under the gazes of the two people, Joseph said word by word: "If I guessed correctly, they should use the Eastern Expeditionary Army!"
Eastern Expeditionary Army?!
"Pah!" Wallace slapped his hands suddenly. Brooke was stunned, with a wry smile on his face.
In fact, they have considered these issues mentioned by Joseph, but now the situation is pressing and they have to make a choice. Since Schilling's last visit, they have been discussing how to hand Wenger into Schilling's hands.
And this problem cannot be circumvented by Fano and other Lulian nobles.
He couldn't get around it by making friends with him, so naturally Xilin couldn't get around it if he wanted to take people out of the Saint Solan Empire.
And obviously, they have a way.
Therefore, Wallace made several insinuations and wanted to ask more clearly, but the cryptic Schilling changed the subject. For them, it was best to hand him over directly and tie Wallace to Langrith's warship.
Benefit.
Wallace is not a fool. If there is a chance to avoid the current conflict with Fano and others without offending the Lanlith people, why would he expose himself to the center of the whirlpool at this time?
However, for the past few days, he and Brooke, the top think tank around him, couldn't guess what Xilin was planning. Until this moment, Joseph said the words "Eastern Expeditionary Army"!
As we all know, with the decree of Pope Nicholas II, the Eastern Expedition has begun. Thousands of nobles, knights and mercenaries have embarked on the Eastern Expedition. In addition to these people, there is another kind of people who are also from the East.
The main force of the war is the criminals who are present in every corner of the human world.
According to the Pope's will and the traditions of various countries, all criminals who participated in the Eastern Crusade can be pardoned. This made these desperadoes choose to join the Eastern Crusade without hesitation.
For them, not only can the Eastern Expedition be freed from guilt, but they might also be able to have a bright future, so why not?
In the previous Eastern Expeditions, criminals who were supposed to be hanged ended up making a fortune during the Eastern Expeditions, becoming rich men and enjoying a prosperous life. This is not uncommon!
According to the convention, as long as the troops participating in the Eastern Expedition hold the flag of the Holy See, they will be protected by the Holy See and enjoy special rights of passage in each country. As long as they do not commit any crime during the march, any attack on them will be regarded as an attack on the Holy See.
Declaration of war with the royal families of the three empires!
Even the Solan royal family, which signed the treaty, had to admit this.
Due to historical reasons, the Solan Empire's Eastern Expedition Army has always been the smallest among the three empires. And in Lulian Province, which is far away from the land of chaos, only a handful of people participated in the Eastern Expedition.
During the Eastern Expeditions in previous years, including the local Holy See, which provided food, accommodation and organization for the Eastern Expeditions, they did not take this seriously. Many matters were left to the low-level personnel below to handle. Anyway, they were just a few guys eating and drinking.
I was afraid that I would not even be able to see the border of the chaotic land and the shadow of the pagans, so I went back home.
Because of this, Wallace and Brooke ignored it.
But when they heard it now, they immediately understood.
Schilling was planning to let Wenger join the Eastern Expeditionary Army so as to leave Saint-Soulan in a swaggering way.
I have to admit that once the Langres family's plan succeeds, the blow to the royal family's reputation will be ten times and a hundred times more serious than sneaking away Wenger! By then, people will not pay attention to how Wenger left, but will only look at it.
The focus is on the great power of the Lanlith family and the powerlessness of the royal family!
Now that they think about it carefully, both Wallace and Brooke have to sigh at the sophistication of the Langres people.
Although there is not enough evidence, the Pope's Eastern Expedition Order was not issued sooner or later, and it was chosen at such a time, which makes people doubt that there are factors involved in cooperating with the southern operations! You know, Augustus
But the Pope’s godson! The influence of the Langris family in the Holy See and the Pompeii Empire is unparalleled!
But...Wallace and Brooke looked at each other and felt relieved. Now that they know their plan and the Saki incident has come out, if Xilin still wants to take advantage of himself, it is just a dream in vain!
"If Schilling wants someone, let him grab it himself," Joseph smiled and said the three of them had the same plan at the moment. "We have done our best by not pursuing Saki's matter and taking the initiative to create opportunities for them."
Okay. Let’s talk about who is going to judge. The Lanlith family has to recognize this favor, right?'
After saying that, the three of them all laughed. Wallace and Brooke looked at each other and smiled happily and relaxedly. Joseph smiled apologetically. The smile was humble, but also had a hint of meaning.
The two people in front of me were a powerful provincial archbishop and a chief think tank with extraordinary ingenuity.
But who would have known that everything they were so proud of was planned by a young man who looked confused and honest.
