` Roland Continent Roddy's first thought was that the old skeleton knew that he had obtained the "Scepter of Moses" and wanted to start a war of aggression But then he rejected the idea as impossible Without the "God's Smile" mask, Andy couldn't sense his movements.
It's impossible to know that you've got the scepter.
Moreover, in less than two years, the empire fought the Northwest War and the Roland Holy War.
Two large-scale wars were fought in two years, and the national strength of the empire was already somewhat insufficient, and it was impossible to provoke another large-scale war.
Although the last holy war was won, the empire also paid a heavy price.
It weighed heavily on the empire like a heavy burden.
It's not a war, so what does Andy mean to think about it here, Roddy looked at Andy with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Andy understood what Roddy was thinking, he didn't speak, just glanced at the Marquis of Caroline.
The old marquis handed Roddy a scroll, and Roddy looked at it, only to see a large string of things written in Roland script on the thick, slightly yellowed scroll.
In the lower right corner, there is also a coat of arms that symbolizes the Temple of Roland, and the badge of the six-pointed star is obviously a magic mark, and it seems that it is still shining.
"What is this" Roddy frowned, he couldn't read Roland's words.
The Marquis Caroline's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "A letter, or a notice.
It is a proclamation issued by the Roland Continent Temple to the entire continent."
"Circular text" Luo Di thought for a while: "Is it a mobilization for a war, is it that the temple is not willing to accept the defeat of the last war and wants to provoke a war again" Marquis Caroline smiled and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Roddy, it's not what you think In fact, the general content of this document is: The previous paragraphs denounced the mediocrity and incompetence of the various kingdoms in the Roland Continent, which made the holy war fail.
Immediately, the temple said that a divided and leaderless Roland Continent would not be able to complete the great cause of crusading against the infidels, so, hum" Speaking of this, the old marquis's tone was a little gloomy, and he sneered twice, before he said slowly: "So the temple is to inform the world, the chief elder of the archbishop of the temple, has decided to be crowned as the pope" After saying the last two words, a trace of strange color flashed in the old marquis's eyes.
"Pope" Roddy's expression immediately became serious: "He wants to be the Pope" Luo Di looked at the Marquis of Caroline, then at Andy, and suddenly sneered: "Could it be that the people of the Roland Temple are crazy, in the history of the Pope God Cult for thousands of years, there has only been one Pope, that is, the first Pope Moses, and the God Cult is divided into two, and no matter how fierce the two factions fight, they dare not claim to be the emperor of the God Cult."
Even the Divine Cult of our Bright Continent, although it has covered the entire empire, the leader of the Divine Cult only dares to call himself the Pope, and he does not have the courage to be the chief elder of the Pope's Roland Temple, is it a madman, Moses back then became the Pope by virtue of his great achievements in splitting the Thundering Strait and leading mankind to conquer the Bright Continent, why is he a madman?"
Andy still didn't speak, just looked at the Marquis of Caroline.
The old marquis sighed: "Your Excellency Count Rodi, I'm afraid that this chief elder of the Roland Temple is not a madman Actually, he has been planning for a long time. ” Speaking of this, the smile on his face seemed to be a little deep, staring at Roddy.
The thought in Roddy's heart flashed like lightning, and then he suddenly said loudly: "Could it be this war?"
The old marquis nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and said with a wry smile: "We have always suspected that the war between us and the Roland people that has just ended is simply inexplicable.
Although the Roland people made a lot of noise, they could not win that battlefield in any way.
They sent an army of 800,000, let alone 800,000, on land, even if they had an army of 1.8 million, it would be impossible to defeat us.
Why would they provoke a war that we are not sure of at all."
A smile bloomed at the corner of the old marquis's mouth: "Although the Roland Temple has always had a deep influence on the Roland Continent, it is still only a spiritual leader after all, although the sages they assign to various places have no less authority than the king, but after all, the real power of each country is still in the hands of the king Now it seems that the plot of the Roland Temple is really not small, they want to turn the entire Roland Continent into a religious empire" Luo Di closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and then slowly spoke: "Well, it is the first to call on the more than a dozen kingdoms of the entire continent to mobilize troops, and then send more than half of the army of the Roland Continent to us to start a war.
With this war, the armies of more than a dozen kingdoms in the Roland Continent were exhausted, so that the balance of power between the original temple and the dozen kingdoms in the Roland Continent was broken, in the war, although the temple also lost some Holy Knights, but in comparison, those kingdoms were even more depleted, haha, a good sword to kill people."
Marquis Caroline smiled and said: "Your Excellency Count Rodi said that after the balance of strength is broken, the kingdoms of the Roland Continent will not have enough strength to suppress the temple, and the strength of the temple has prevailed Now the chief elder of the temple is going to be crowned as the pope Hmph, Count Rodi, what this pope means, you must know" With a complicated expression on his face, Luo Di took a deep breath and said slowly: "I know" According to the history that Roddy knows.
The only pope in the history of the Cult of God, Pope Moses, was almost the co-leader of mankind during his reign The true leader is in power, and he says everything.
Commanding the world, everything can be said more simply, that is, reading is the emperor The current Chief Elder of the Roland Temple is going to be crowned Pope, and it is obvious that he wants to unify the various kingdoms of the Roland Continent, and then establish a huge religious empire that can compete with the Empire of Light No, perhaps an empire more powerful than the Empire of Light is, after all, in the Empire of Light, religious rights and state rights are still separated, and the emperor and the pope check each other.
However, what the Temple of Roland wanted to build was an empire with completely unified national and religious rights, and there was no difference between the emperor and the pope, and the pope alone combined the rights of "emperor" and "pope".
"It's crazy crazy thoughts, crazy moves" Roddy's tone was a little bitter.
Marquis Caroline shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not just crazy.
We've thought about it, and although their move is crazy, it's undeniable that their timing is really good from any point of view."
The old marquis's tone was a little helpless: "The existence of the Thundering Strait makes it impossible for us to take advantage of the situation even when they are in civil strife, after all, Roland's navy is still there, and it is impossible for them to give us a chance to fight over."
And after a big war, we don't have the strength to fight them, the victory of that war, and we also paid a heavy price Your Excellency Count Roddy, I'm afraid you don't know, now the empire's finances are very difficult, a big war in the north, which made the empire pay tens of millions of gold coins, not counting the consumption of the northwest battlefield" Borrowing a knife to kill someone.
Typical borrowed knife killing A so-called "holy war" is actually that the Roland Temple used the Bright Empire to greatly consume the strength of the kingdoms of the Roland Continent, and then hummed.
Thinking of this, Luo Di spoke: "Then let me go to the Roland Continent, what is it for?"
Andy finally spoke, his face still showing the dignity of an emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Negotiate peace" He and Roddy frowned, and the Marquis of Caroline smiled and said, "That King of the Sauron Kingdom of the Roland Continent is a very smart guy.
The Kingdom of Sauron is the most powerful country on the Roland Continent, and it is naturally unwilling to be annexed by the Temple, if the Temple on the Roland Continent really falls out with those kingdoms, then it is certain that the sword soldiers will meet each other, but they have lost most of their troops in this holy war, and they are worried that they will not be able to compete with the Temple, so" Luo Di already understood in his heart, and said: "So the kingdom of Sauron has sued us for peace, is it possible that King Sauron wants us to bring troops to help them fight against the temple?"
"Not really."
The Caroline Marquis smiled: "Have you forgotten that we still have hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war in our hands?"
Roddy's eyes lit up POW In a holy war, the empire captured 500,000 troops of the other side, and those armies under the management of General Ziggy have been scattered in the north to serve as slaves for these 500,000 people, but the elite armies of those kingdoms on the Roland continent, especially the royal knights of the Sauron Kingdom, are also among them, as well as their elite and powerful chariot teams Marquis Caroline continued: "The secret envoy of the Kingdom of Sauron has come to Yanjing, and through me, he has asked to see His Majesty, conveyed the intention of King Sauron, and asked us to release the captured army back, so that they can resist the suppression of the temple. ” Luo Di pondered for a moment: "Put back the prisoners of war, can we promise, after all, it is hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is not a good thing for us to release the enemy's army back." ” The Carolingian Marquis also seemed to sigh: "Of course it's not a good thing.
After all, it was also Duke Tulip and the warriors of the empire who paid countless lives and blood to win the war, and now we are not willing to let the prisoners of war back, but, Lord Roddy, I think that if you don't let those prisoners of war go back, then the temple of the Roland continent can easily defeat those kingdoms, and soon the Roland continent will be unified At that time, a strong and unified empire will appear in our north, which will be a greater threat to the empire."
Roddy nodded, a smile appeared on his face, but that smile made Marquis Caroline feel cold, and then he heard Roddy say slowly: "I understand that for the sake of the future of the Bright Empire, the Roland people must continue to be divided, and they cannot be allowed to form a unified empire."
Marquis Caroline rolled up his sleeves, bowed to Andy, and whispered: "So, Your Majesty's intention is to ask you to go to the Roland Continent once, and the plenipotentiary representative of the empire will act as the envoy of this negotiation."

With that said, now is the time for the show.
Luo Di also immediately pretended to be respectful, bowed lightly to the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Please give an order from Your Majesty."
Andy smiled slightly and said, "Although it has been decided that peace can be negotiated with the Kingdom of Sauron, but after all, it is hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, and it will always make the Roland people pay some price."
The next step is to negotiate some terms for peace talks.
Andy didn't need to speak, the Marquis of Caroline was already confident.
This old fox is really a good hand in the political arena, although his conduct is not very good, but he is indeed a capable minister who has already thought of a large set of plans and prescribed a long list of conditions.
Roddy didn't intervene much, just stood aside and looked at Andy and Marquis Caroline coldly, one big and one small Compared with Andy, an old guy of more than two hundred years, Marquis Caroline can only be regarded as "small" The two foxes are discussing the conspiracy of how to slaughter the Roland people with a knife.
Luo Di frowned secretly when he heard this, but when he saw the fat man Tianlie who was pretending to be a guard of the Guards next to him, he couldn't help but have a fascinated expression, listening to those conspiracies, and his face showed an expression of "That's how it should be".
Luo Di could only smile bitterly, he knew that these old guys had more ghost ideas in their hearts, and as for the conditions of negotiation, they didn't have to worry about it at all.
They can definitely scrape the Roland people hard Hmph, I heard that the kingdom of Sauron is very rich, alas, the Roland continent.
Roddy remembered the day he was standing on the walls of Thundering City.
Thinking of the magical flame blooming into tulips above the starry sky that night, Roddy couldn't help but be a little stupid.
Black yarn Miaosi, I'm going to Roland Continent Thinking of this, Luo Di subconsciously touched his chest, the iron ring given to him by the black yarn hung on his chest, hard, cold metal attached to the skin on his chest, Luo Di had a strange feeling in his heart, and a boiling blood surged into his heart Miaosi, you must be looking forward to seeing us again To be continued:
