"What do you mean?" The Pope seemed interested in Antonio's words.
Antonio temporarily stopped what he was doing and replied with a smile: "The military tactics of our Western Continent and the Eastern Continent are always somewhat different. In the final analysis, it is the difference in concepts. This difference is mainly reflected in two aspects. The first one is our Western Continent's.
If the intelligence work is not done well, the second is that our confidentiality work is not done well.”
The Pope frowned and asked: "This war is a war. It is nothing more than two parties fighting based on their strength. Wouldn't it be great if we defeated the enemy with strong power? Besides, we now have sufficient reasons.
Let’s launch a holy war. As the righteous party, we will win!”
Antonio didn't know how to persuade this old stubborn guy. Although he knew that the pope had a stubborn personality, as an old friend and current ally, he had to find a way to persuade this old guy: "I'm talking about Paul, not you, you are all
When did you think about it? War is for victory, for defeating the other side. There are so many rules and regulations. You just want to find an excuse to hit others. Now, everyone knows that you are going to hit others, so naturally you will
Be prepared and think about it for yourself. Is it easier to just sneak up on someone's door and beat them, or is it easier to tell them: 'I'm going to beat you?'"
The Pope thought for a moment and replied: "Well, of course it is easier to beat others secretly. However, our Western Continent is different from the Eastern Continent, and our people of the God of Light are also different from those despicable people. Naturally, we cannot do such a thing."
Low things come.”
After hearing this, Antonio couldn't help but want to scold the Pope for being pedantic, but he didn't say it out of consideration for the past.
"Hey, Paul, okay, you need a reason to fight. I understand this, but you don't need to make it known to everyone? You said that by doing this, the other party will know exactly how many hairs you have on your body.
Chu, what are you saying about this? You've been here for a long time and haven't understood the outside world for a long time. I've been out and about for a few days, but many generals are privately complaining about your ignorance, Paul.
, I’m not talking about you. As a pope, you have done a good job, but as a military commander, you are far behind. Let’s not talk about how much you know about military deployment. Let me ask you what Castro did this time.
How many legions are there in the war, how many generals are there, how many mages are there, how many magic cannons are there? Do you know all these questions?"
Although the Pope is very good at intrigues and political work, when it comes to military affairs, his eyes immediately darken.
"Well, Antonio, these are things that only the generalissimo needs to know. Besides, it's useless if I know it. I just need to give them support and help. I think this is my responsibility." The Pope felt guilty when he said this.
Antonio nodded and continued: "Okay, even if you don't need to understand this problem, there is a problem you must understand."
The Pope hurriedly asked: "What is the problem?"
"This question is very simple, that is, who is the enemy we have to face, and how powerful is our enemy?"
The Pope was immediately confused again. Most of the information he knew was about the royal family or important political figures. As for other things, he usually didn't catch his eye at all, so he couldn't answer Antonio's question now.
"Well, Antonio, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, can we talk about something else?"
Antonio was so angry that he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Paul, I remember you were very studious when you were young. Why have you changed now? I know you have always looked down on orcs, thinking that orcs only have strong limbs and big brains.
Simple guy? If your thinking is still at this level, then I must tell you that you are wrong. Before I decided to cooperate with you, I have been in Rennes for a long time. It can be said that Rennes has changed for me in the past few years.
We basically know a lot about it. Not to mention that the orcs are physically stronger than humans, but looking at the new Renaissance movement that broke out some time ago, we can see that the orcs are different from the previous ones. You may think that these orcs are promoting evil gods, but
For Easterners who don’t believe in God, this approach is a sign of progress and development. I won’t say more nonsense. If you believe me, I advise you to strengthen the confidentiality of your subordinates’ power from now on. In addition,
, I hope you can send some people with better skills to detect the enemy. This is my suggestion to you as a friend and as an ally."
After listening to Antonio's words, the Pope turned into a thoughtful look.
"Well, what you said seems to make sense. I will seriously consider your suggestion. It seems that an acquaintance is here!"
Before the Pope could finish his words, a figure in white clothes rushed in.
"It's over, it's over, Paul, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Antonio complained in a low voice to the Pope beside him.
The pope shrugged innocently and said helplessly: "What's the use if I told you earlier? It won't last past the first day of the Lunar New Year, but it won't last until the fifteenth day. The saint has known about you for a long time, so she will come to you sooner or later. The pain will be gone soon."
It’s better to suffer the pain later and face it bravely!”
"Antonio! You bastard!" The saint began to curse before she could stand upright.
Antonio was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the Pope: "Well, you are a saint now, how can you be so rude? Have you forgotten the code of conduct of a saint? Although we could tolerate you being naughty back then, you have grown so big now
How can you still be so frizzy when you are so old?"
The Saint snorted coldly and replied: "Antonio, don't change the subject again. Back then you broke my toy and actually rushed down the Holy Mountain overnight and never appeared again. I want to ask you, do you not want to
Alive?"
Thinking of how domineering the saint was when she was still a preparatory saint, Antonio and the Pope couldn't help but shudder at the same time. Now that so many years have passed, I really don't know how much the saint's ability to torture people has increased. When I think of myself
Antonio is even thinking about death due to the suffering he may face.
"A gentleman talks with his words but never with his hands!"
"Oh, help me, I'm killing someone!"
"Oh, did you agree not to slap me in the face? You don't know that I rely on my face to make a living?"
"Oh my god, you still kill me!"
"..."
After a lot of torture by the Saint, Antonio was completely reduced to the Saint's exclusive punching bag, and followed the Saint to sign a series of unequal treaties.
Of course, before leaving, Antonio did not forget to hint to the Pope to consider the advice he provided. The Pope nodded knowingly, and Antonio could finally "die" with peace of mind.
"Poor Antonio!" The Pope couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Who made you refuse to suffer back then? Well, now you finally feel the serious consequences of your own actions? But your character has not changed much, it is still the same as before.
I explained everything as soon as I stimulated him. Hehe, you were smarter than me back then. I think your method is worth a try. You should do this wasteful thing of brain cells. I only need to say a few words. Really.
It's a bit relaxing, haha! The Pope has been a religious leader for so many years, so naturally he won't have all the advantages as shown before. In fact, his biggest advantage is that he can quickly understand other people's personalities and psychology. Just like just now, he
Although he knew that what Antonio said was correct, he pretended not to care about what he said. Antonio has always been very strong, and when he was so stimulated, he naturally said everything. There was no need for the Pope to ask.
"Never despise anyone. This is the rule I believe in. Antonio, although you are very smart, your shortcomings are also obvious. It is because you underestimate me so much that you will never reach my level." Pope
I couldn't help but said to myself proudly.
"Haha, speaking of reconnaissance of the enemy, it seems that I still have quite a few people who can do this. Nightingale has also finished the things I arranged a few days ago, and is probably rested now. As long as they are sent out, there is nothing to worry about.
Why can't the military intelligence be detected? However, it seems that confidentiality measures must be taken, otherwise some things will be really difficult to deal with. Dorom has led soldiers for so many years, and his abilities have also improved a lot. It is just a good opportunity to inspect and temper him.
, I will arrange for him to do this well!"
After thinking about it, the Pope did not delay, and immediately sent two letters. Of course, one of them was a secret letter, and it must have been sent to the nightingale. After arranging everything, the Pope became leisurely again, and now he could
He felt much more relaxed, because now the saint was entangled with someone else. This made him feel very good, and he couldn't help but hum a few tunes.
In a certain cave, a group of women dressed in black were talking and laughing together.
Suddenly a falcon flew in and landed directly on one of them's shoulders.
"Sister, has the master received another letter? What is the mission this time?" A voice came from the crowd.
After the person called eldest sister read the letter in her hand, she immediately lit it on fire and the letter turned into ashes.
"The master arranged for us to go to Rennes to investigate the military situation and collect information about the Saint of Rennes."
"I've heard that the orcs in Renn are very interesting. This time I finally have a mission to go there and see them. I'm so happy!" One of the girls shouted happily.
The eldest sister immediately taught him a lesson: "Hey, don't just think about it. It's an emergency. I hope you will pay more attention to hiding your identity when completing the task. More importantly, you must pay attention to safety. I don't want to see anything."
Any accidents happen to people, understand?”
"Sister, we all listen to you!" A group of little girls replied in a flurry of chatter.
