Chapter 413 Don’t Do Stupid Things

Rebia Kingdom, Lantimat Cathedral.

The sky had darkened, and Pope Anthony's face was gloomier than the sky.

His face was ashen, and his palm slammed heavily on the desk:

"Asshole, how dare Andre?!"

In recent days, the number of fishmen in the kingdom has increased dramatically, and the defense pressure in various places has suddenly increased. There are even two cities that have been surrounded and attacked by a large number of fishmen.

Encountering such a problem, it must be that the defense of the Kingdom of Sintland was weak and too many fishmen were allowed to come.

Therefore, the church sent two archbishops to the Storm Spire in Sintland to inquire about the situation, but they found that it had been occupied by fishmen.

Seeing this scene, the two archbishops hurried back.

Anthony was also shocked when he got the news. Logically speaking, the church's seat of the Holy See has the strongest defense and cannot be broken by fishmen.

He immediately sent a large number of airships to Sintland to verify, and got a message that made him extremely angry:

'Pope Andre Williams of the Storm Lord Church gave up resistance and led the troops and the citizens of Bilvia into their secret base. ’

This is equivalent to the Storm Lord Church completely opening its doors. The fishmen will surely march straight in. It is only a matter of time before the Kingdom of Hinterland is completely conquered. The western part of the Kingdom of Ribia will face the impact of the large fishmen army.

Andre's actions completely disrupted the deployment of the Church of the God of Knowledge, which will have a profound and adverse impact on the entire continent.

Although the material of the desk is hard, how can it resist the angry attack of the fifth-level transcendent?

It fell apart without any drag.

Pierre stood opposite the Pope and couldn't help being frightened at this moment. The fifth-level transcendent released his pressure without reservation, which had a great impact on his mind.

He coughed and said sternly:

"The Storm Lord Church's actions have put allies in an unjust position. Your Majesty, a joint meeting of the entire continent must be held. We must unite with other churches to sanction them."

"Sanctions? How to sanction? Since Andre has done this, it means that he is determined to withdraw from the alliance. Can we still send a joint force to wipe them out?"

Anthony was very angry, but helpless.

If they had won the battle against the evil god, it would still be possible for the coalition of the churches to attack them. But now that the evil god is about to revive, the alliance will not do such an unwise thing.

As long as the Storm Lord Church exists, it will be a force to resist the evil god. It is far more valuable to destroy them than to keep them.

Besides, there will be casualties in the elimination of the Storm Lord Church.

He also understood that the previous practice of the alliance was equivalent to using the Kingdom of Sintland as a barrier to the south of the continent, but did not provide enough assistance to the other party.

However, he never expected that Andre would just give up.

Normally, they should not state the actual difficulties they encountered to the churches, and then bargain with all parties. In the end, the Storm Lord Church still stood at the forefront of the resistance.

The other party did not play by the rules. Now, their wishful thinking collapsed.

Anthony waved his hand weakly and said:

"Notify all the archbishops who stayed in the Holy See to come to the meeting. In addition, send the news of Andre's abandonment to other churches.

Notify the Church of the God of Harvest and the Church of the Lord of Fire first. These two kingdoms border our west and are connected by a river network. The fishmen will soon reach them."

"Yes," Pierre responded and turned to leave.

Anthony half-lying on the chair, closed his eyes and raised his face to sigh deeply.

He sent battlefield observers to evaluate the intensity of the fishmen's attack on Xintland, and deeply understood the difficulties of Xintland.

However, the Church of the Lord of Storms is a powerful church second only to the Sun God and the Moon God. Both the population and the geographical area are larger than that of Ribia. He thought that the other party could hold on for some time.

Now Andre directly overturned the table, and the situation in Ribia would take a sharp turn for the worse. How to break the situation is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. He fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Pierre returned to the room and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the archbishops are already waiting in the meeting room."

Anthony opened his eyes and suppressed all his pessimism: "Let's go."

The two entered the meeting room one after the other. After the Pope sat down, he said straight to the point:

"Everyone, time is running out, I'll be brief.

The reason for the recent surge in the number of murlocs in the kingdom has been determined. Andre of the Storm Lord Church tore up the Holy Covenant, and the Kingdom of Hinterland fell. We are the next target of the murlocs."

"What, how dare they do this? This will make them the public enemy of all churches on the entire continent."

"Is Andre crazy?!"

"The Storm Lord Church will definitely be removed from the alliance, and they must be held accountable."

The discussion started, and the scene was noisy.

Anthony slapped the table impatiently and said sternly: "Quiet!"

When the meeting hall was quiet, he continued:

"No matter what happened in Sintland, the situation is already like this, and nothing can be done to save it.

As for holding Andre Williams responsible, that will be after repelling the evil god.

Now, we have to think about how to overcome the crisis in front of us. The situation is extremely critical. Every improper order we give will cause many people to lose their lives.

Today, we must discuss a feasible plan."

"We must send more troops to the west of the kingdom to keep the fishmen out of the country.

In addition, notify the alliance and obtain troop support. "

"I don't know under what circumstances Andre made the decision to give up defense, but I imagine they must have felt they had lost hope.

Objectively speaking, the Storm Lord Church is stronger than us, but they have all given up, and it is very difficult for us."

"What you are talking about is that in the past, our church now has all kinds of new types of strange objects, and we are not afraid at all when facing the fish-men army."

“Our magical items are indeed very effective against flesh and blood creatures, but how to resist contamination?

If a war breaks out, there will inevitably be countless casualties. At that time, the pollution will be several times stronger than usual, and undead creatures will be bred in batches. "

Anthony watched with cold eyes, waiting to see if anyone would tell him the plan he had thought up.

This plan undermined the Pope's authority and he could not be the first to propose it.

Archbishop Mario stood up, clapped his hands and said:

"Everyone, the parish I am responsible for is in the west of the kingdom, and I was also sent to the Hinterland Kingdom as a battlefield observer.

Your proposals are not realistic, and you do not have a deep understanding of the power of the fish people.

With all due respect, if we were faced with a situation like the one in the Hinterlands, there would be little better we could do than them.

Our factories must run twenty-four hours a day in order to produce war supplies that sustain consumption.

Our only advantage is that the terrain is more favorable than theirs. The Argis Mountains divide the kingdom into two parts. To the east of the mountains is the plateau. There are few rivers here and are not the first priority for the fishmen to attack.

In the western part of the kingdom, the river network is well developed and the water is abundant, making it the favorite battlefield of fishmen.

Frankly, I don't think we have a chance of winning if we fight in the west.

Unless, unless we can assemble a super force led by the Silver Rank and composed entirely of Level 3 or above Transcendents. "

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as his words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Well, finally a rational person expressed this point of view. Anthony was overjoyed and said:

"Since Archbishop Mario has conducted a detailed investigation into the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves, can you tell us what is the most advantageous thing for us to do?"

"Your Majesty, I think giving up the west is the wisest choice."

"Mario, what you do is no different from Andre's cooking."

"Haha, Archbishop Phil, you are the person in charge of Sargas Province, you really don't feel pain when you stand and talk.

You are in the eastern part of the kingdom. Even if you have to fight to the death with the fishmen, you will stay at the rear.

Well, if you are willing to lead the troops to the west to participate in the defense in person, I am willing to live and die with the diocese, how about it? "

"You" Phil pointed at the other party angrily.

"We are here to discuss possible solutions, not for you to quarrel."

Anthony slapped the table hard and continued:

"Let's do this. I will mobilize an elite force from the east to experience the difficulty of defending the western city, and then decide how to act.

If the intensity of the fishmen's attack is within our acceptable range, then we will deploy troops from various eastern parishes to defend them.

If the murloc attack is really fierce, we will retreat from the west. There is no other way. As long as our people are here, there is hope. "

Anthony paused and then said:

"Each diocese in the east will send a silver-level archbishop, plus fifty third-level transcendents. The city we are defending will be placed in Dunkirk."

Dunkirk is a city where the Rhine River flows into the Hinterlands. It has always been an important defense town for the Kingdom of Ribia, and it also faces the most severe threat from the fishmen.

There, the true strength of the fish-men troops can definitely be tested.

"I agree with Your Majesty's plan. We must be prepared in advance," Pierre was the first to respond.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Anthony saw that most of the bishops agreed and nodded with satisfaction:

"The official letter will be sent out later. Do you have anything else to report?

If not, we will take action immediately. "

Mario raised his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, the frontline needs more medicine, especially two new types of holy water.

The effects of these two kinds of holy water are very good, but the loss is more serious. They are often used up within a few days of being replenished. "

Anthony frowned slightly and looked at Pierre unconsciously. He was not completely unaware of the new type of holy water.

Pierre coughed and said:

"It is not easy to make a new type of holy water. I will try to increase the supply on the front lines, but I cannot guarantee how much supply can be increased."

"The Archbishop must try his best to increase the production of the new holy water, which can save the lives of more soldiers."

"I tried my best!"

After discussing a few more issues, Anthony announced:

“The meeting is over, let’s implement the plan we discussed.

Hurry, we don't have much time left. "

After everyone dispersed, the Pope asked seemingly casually:

"What kind of new type of holy water, I don't think I've ever heard of you talking about it."

Piergan laughed and explained:

"We maintain trade relations with Mr. Crown of the Faruk Kingdom. If I continue to use the brands of Golden Light Potion and Heart-Cleaning Potion, it will have adverse effects, so I came up with the idea of ​​adulterating the holy water with potions.

After a series of rigorous experiments, this solution is proved to be feasible.

The new potion has the dual properties of the original potion and holy water, and it is entirely produced by the church.

No one will care that we bought materials from Farouk, and the reputation of the church will not be affected in the slightest. "

Listening to Pierre's story, Anthony recalled that the other party had reported this matter, but he himself forgot.

"I see, has the number of potions provided by the Chamber of Commerce of Crown increased now?"

"Not yet, but they have made it clear that starting from next month, the supply of both potions will increase by 50% each.

The production of our new potion will also increase. I plan to use the potion reserves to increase the supply of new potions for the front line, and get through the most difficult days first."

Anthony nodded and said:

"You are responsible for purchasing holy water from all churches except the Church of the Lord of Fire and the Church of the Lord of Storms, experimenting with the latest potion, and conducting the most rigorous effect comparison test between the new potion and the holy water of each church, and handing it over to me after getting the parameters of the new potion. ”

He wanted to see how much stronger the new potion was than the church's holy water. If the effect was good enough, he would join other churches to put pressure on the Kingdom of Farouk and ask Clown to hand over the potion formula.

The reason, of course, was for the benefit of all mankind and to better resist the evil god.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

"In my name, send envoys to the Kingdom of Farouk and Clown again to ask them to increase the supply of potions. We have plenty of gold spirit coins."

Pierre nodded:

"Okay. I want my brother Pisaru to be the person in charge of the mission. He has dealt with the other party twice and is familiar with it. "

My younger brother has advanced to silver, but it has not been announced to the public. He wants to find a good position for the other party.

The number of people who have advanced to the silver level is gradually increasing. Without sufficient merit, they can't get a good job at all.

Anthony said, "Hmm," and said:

"You can arrange it yourself. As long as it can help the church, I have no objection to who you choose. "

Pierre is his confidant, and he is happy to give him some sweet benefits.

Otherwise, why would others support him? It's because they can eat meat by following him.

Pierre was delighted and said goodbye:

"Your Majesty, I will arrange it immediately."

He turned and left, then left the church, found his brother, and told him the details, and then said:

"Grasp the opportunity well, as long as you make some achievements, I can ask Your Majesty to give you a good job."

Pisaru's eyebrows were twisted together, and he said seriously:

"I am willing to go on a diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Farouk, but I have one thing to warn you, Lord Crown is more powerful than all of you expected, don't do stupid things against him!"
