Reluctant to tell her what kind of plan she had, Natalie took it as a sign that Lorne didn't trust her.
But she herself also distrusts men.
If Lorne hadn't just said something about the heretical fighting methods, which proved that he was indeed paying attention to those who invaded the empire, the Holy Knight Captain would definitely think that this man was just bragging.
The conclusion of their experiment can be obtained by relying only on limited information.
At least in terms of war, Natalie recognized Lorne's ability.
Because of this, the Holy Knight Captain changed his meaning when he originally planned to reject Lorne.
"If you don't tell me your specific plans, I can't guarantee your requirements."
It would be very difficult for the two forces that originally hated each other to sit down and cooperate.
Lorne didn't intend to negotiate good terms with Keira in one breath, or rather his idea was to delay for a while.
After His Majesty the Pope could no longer withstand the pressure of the heretics, these women would naturally obey.
Therefore, Lorne, who was so rested, was not anxious at all, and even crossed his legs unconsciously.
He answered Natalie: "How can I reveal my plan while fighting those cunning heretics?
What if the entire empire is leaked?
That would be bad As for my requests, you can report them to Keira.
Anyway, I still have a lot of things to be busy with during this period, and I also need to take charge of the pensions for the fallen soldiers.
You don’t know how busy I am after becoming the de facto ruler of the North. " Showing off his current status and calling the Pope by his first name, Lorne's arrogant attitude made Natalie not want to stay for a moment longer.
Just when the Holy Knight Captain stood up, the man's voice came again.
"By the way, the orcs in this expedition have consumed our food reserves in the north.
If we want to go south, you will need to pay more attention to logistics.
I remember that the territory of the Barton family has not been captured by the heretics.
In order to prevent them from getting our empire's Food, I suggest that they move everything to our northern border first.”
Lorne was underestimating that the imperial army would continue to retreat under Keira's command.
In fact, he was very surprised that it could persist for so long under the baptism of muskets and artillery.
But this is also Keira's limit.
When he heard that the Li family was willing to put aside their status and actively integrate into the empire family, Lorne knew that they were not far from victory.
In the latest news, he even heard that many nobles who surrendered to the Li family were enfeoffed.
Buy the nobles with land and drive the common people with faith.
With such a huge advantage, the Li family didn't have any impatience and still wanted to slowly and steadily eat away at the empire.
Lorne would definitely not have such good patience.
The way he ate in the North also proved the ugly face of a man.
As for his request, Keira almost tore the letter in her hand into pieces after receiving Natalie's report.
Even with the obstruction of the veil, the paladin responsible for delivering the message could still feel the anger of His Majesty the Pope.
It's not surprising that the Pope, who has never been angry since Keira became the Pope, would have such emotions.
Because too many things have happened in recent years, the change of emperor is nothing.
The invasion of heretics is the biggest crisis for their church.
Although Keira was successfully re-elected as pope, facing the onslaught of heresy and having lost almost half of the empire, it was normal for the pope to feel unhappy.
What's more, this letter comes from the north, as a qualified paladin.
The woman in charge of delivering the letter understood what this meant, that the people in the North were unwilling to lend a helping hand, and it was not beyond her expectation.
On the contrary, she would only think it was a conspiracy if those Yankees sent troops regardless of past suspicions.
Just looking at Keira's appearance, the paladin couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the heresy has been blocked.
As long as we understand their weapons and let the believers and nobles who are bewitched by them know their true colors, victory will belong to us.
This is Our Lady’s test for us and our opportunity to completely eliminate those heretics. " Being negative is not helpful in the situation, so Kayla encourages a positive attitude.
The words spoken by the paladin were all propagated by Keira herself.
But that kind of thing can only be used for self-satisfaction.
What you really want to win is still your own strength.

It's a pity that their church has already used all its strength.
The fact that the heretics were blocked from going deeper actually had little to do with their efforts.
Keira knew that the reason why those heretics suddenly stopped attacking was only because they were digesting the fruits of victory at this stage due to their inherent deficiencies.
After the digestion was completed, Keira knew what a powerful enemy she had to face.
And she also understood that with their current strength, they simply couldn't resist.
With the successive defeats and the loss of the powerful Stuart family, she didn't even have the extra strength to counterattack.
If she hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have chosen to join forces with Lorne.
Of course, at the beginning, Keira's purpose was just to use Otto to control Lorne.
Unfortunately, Natalie's report already proved her failure.
The man who was not threatened actually wanted to coerce her.
He re-read Natalie's report about the true identity of the Holy Fire Messenger, thinking about the scene where the man actually treated the church priest as his favorite.
As the Pope, Keira did have reason to be angry.
But after listening to the paladin's words, she calmed down.
She couldn't possibly agree to all of the man's conditions, but there was one thing that Keira didn't hesitate at all.
"Where is Baron John Carter now?"
Asking about the location of Holy Knight John, the baron who fled from the north can be regarded as a new celebrity in the imperial capital.
The northern cavalry he brought had helped them survive the crisis many times, so they still had a good impression of Baron Carter and the Paladin.
Although the northern side has always claimed that John was a fugitive, they did not like those savage Yankees.
The Paladin would naturally have some favorable impressions of John, who was rejected by the northerners.
So when Keira asked her, she could answer immediately.
"Baron Carter accepted His Majesty's order to go to the Barton family to receive a batch of grain.
Judging from the time, he should be back in two days."
Lorne used up the food reserves in the North due to the expedition, and Keira also consumed a lot of logistics due to the large number of conscription.
As for John, in order to integrate more smoothly into the imperial capital, he would accept any task no matter what.
Especially when there has been no major war recently, it is Baron Carter's new responsibility for transportation logistics to ensure the stability of the front
