Chapter 746 Dark Brotherhood
The whole command room was quiet. After looking at the two, the staff officers silently lowered their heads to continue their work, and the other regimental commanders did not say anything. They seemed to be watching how Sine would answer this difficult question.
Signe didn't even look at Ron, but looked straight at Sauron and sighed, "It's time, and Chief Ron still wants to do these little moves. In this case, I really don't see any hope of victory.
When Ron's face changed, he was about to have an attack. Adam shouted, "Enough, Ron, there is no room for you to speak here. Sit down!"
Ron looked at Adam and gave Sine a resentful look. Although he was unwilling, he still chose to obey.
Sauron muttered, "Indeed, the high-level combat power is our hard injury. But there is no solution..."
Sine and Adam showed a thoughtful expression. They remembered that Leo and Frank were only eighth-order when the three armies were on an expedition to Cannon. But when they went on an expedition, the energy level was significantly raised to the ninth level. It's just that the feeling is extremely unnatural. Both of them seem to be raised out of thin air, and they can't suppress their boiling breath. But no matter what, the two were indeed the ninth level at that time.
If all the regimental commanders are promoted to the ninth level, then the Knights will not be in such a passive situation in terms of high-level combat power. It's just that Signe and others really don't know what method Sauron used to abruptly take Leo to the next level. If there is this technology, why hasn't he used it so far that he is subject to it everywhere?
Solon has his own difficulties, and Gaia is not a charity. Last time, he improved his strength for Leo and the other two in order to capture the person he wanted. Since that time, Gaia has been asleep again, so she doesn't know about the failure of Leo and others. At this time, if you want to ask him to improve the strength of Sine and others, it will wake him up and let him know that the last incident failed. No matter how you look at it, it is not a happy thing.
Of course, for Guyana's unknown needs, he may help Sauron again this time. But Solon didn't know what kind of reward the man would receive in the end.
"In short, there is still hope to solve this problem, but now, let's predict what the opponent will do next." Sauron did not want to disclose Gaia too early, but now Paul suppresses him everywhere in righteousness in the name of the Son. If it is rumored that there is a foreign strong man hidden in his palace, he can no longer sit on this throne.
Adam and others may cover up for him, but it's hard to say. And let the stubborn old guys of Mendrisa know that they will never support themselves again, and those families will not allow outsiders to enter the circle of the core regime of Rome. If this is exposed, Sauron will show a one-sided disadvantage in the war at any level.
"For this question..." Sine said calmly, "I think the Sea God Group will temporarily stop all actions."
Ron couldn't help laughing: "Creant Signe, it seems that you said that last time."
"Shut up!" Sauron began to doubt Adam's eyes. How could he recommend this fool to be the head of the Eighth Regiment? But now is not the time to deal with this problem. Sauron looked at Sine and said, "What's the reason?"
"Because..."
"Because our front line is too long and the road is closed in winter, our infantry regiment can't reach it. Now only the Trident and us will be unable to continue to go north. After the battle of the Rock City, Sauron will no longer be so careless to give us a chance to take advantage of it.
In the City of Rock, facing a group of warlike followers, Ling said so. Just captured the City of Rock, no wonder they will be excited. Especially Zog, who can't wait to attack the city of Rome directly with two wings on his back. Of course, Zero will not let them do this. He has his own rhythm, and as he just said, it will be them who will continue the war.
Going alone into the enemy's hinterland without backup is no different from looking for death. Although the high level is powerful, it is not a god, and there will be times when the power is exhausted. After the Rock City alone, the Trident troops have exhausted their physical strength, and other high-level troops still have spare power, but they are not right. During the following period, the Pope's Hall and they will have mutual fears, so both sides will have a temporary truce before the winter passes.
"How is the situation in the city?" Zero asked again.
Su came out and said, "Froman has temporarily taken over the task of city defense with the Trident and maintained order in the city. So far, there have been more than a dozen conflicts, but according to your order, just detain the troubler first. The main force of Trident is placed in urban warehouses and several factories, controlling most of the materials. As for the towns of Yoqi, Mr. Boyo, the mayor of the town of Yoqi, has called, and he will send a return letter with the towns of Mason and Bluebridge later.
"It seems that the old mayor has done a good job." Zero-pointed.
But boss, we are outsiders after all. Even if the people below are restrained, the conflict is still inevitable. Without the army, only the trident, it is difficult for the residents of the city to accept our management. Berien said so.
"So I asked Froman to inform the residents of the city to gather in the central square at about 5 p.m., and I will talk to them. What's more, this situation will soon change. If our ally, His Royal Highness Paul, is smart, he should know what to do next. Zero showed an unfathomable smile.
At the same time, Sauron, who was working all winter in the command room, suddenly heard a rapid sound of footsteps. Then the door was opened, and the captain of the guard Wessel quickly came in and whispered in Sauron's ear, "No, my lord. His Royal Highness Paul gathered openly in the square again.
"I don't have time to pay attention to that boy now. If he wants to give a speech, let him speak." Sauron frowned.
"But this time it's different, my lord. His Royal Highness Paul actually said that those pirates were messengers sent by God!"
"What?" Sauron was furious: "This boy really has something to do with pirates. Let's take me to see how many ridiculous remarks he has!"
Leaving the command room, Sauron took Wisel and his own guard to the square not far from the Pope's Hall. As expected, there is a rally in the square, and the scale of this rally is far greater than ever. The square was a sea of people, and Paul stood in the middle of a high platform and was talking. He was wearing a pope's robe and opened his arms and shouted, "Dear brothers and sisters, open your eyes and have a look. The dawn is coming, and the messengers of God come from the south. The gospel they bring will bring long-term peace to the earth.
"Peace?"
Sauron's voice overwhelmed all the sounds in the square. He looked coldly at Paul wearing a high crown on the stage and said, "But why did I only see the war? Dear Prince Paul, your so-called messengers of God have just occupied our rocky city. Are these what you call the gospel?
The people were silent and watched how Paul answered.
The young pope panicked and said lightly, "In order to maintain order, sometimes war is inevitable. Our heavenly Father launched a war to expel the demons. As long as the purpose of war is for long-term peace, then war is sacred and righteous, don't you think so, Uncle Sauron?
"Absurd!" Sauron sneered and said, "If you say so, those pirates are sacred, and the city of rocks is a city occupied by demons?"
"The devil lies in the human heart. If the human heart is evil, then it is the devil." Paul answered with a widely circulated sentence once said by his father, the former pope, and vaguely pointed out that the city of rocks was just a city of demons under Sauron's control. The young pope then said, "If they are not the messengers of God, but the so-called pirates and aggressors in Uncle Sauron's mouth... Then Uncle Sauron, tell me and tell everyone. What did they do after occupying Cannon, Cage and even the current Rock City? Have you ever abused civilians or executed them?
Sauron asked him suffocatingly and recalled that the Nephen Group really didn't seem to have done such a thing. At this time, he answered, let alone did not answer. He simply chose to be silent, but the result would not be much better than the previous two.
"Let me answer for Uncle Sauron!" Paul looked at the civilians below and said, "These so-called pirates and aggressors not only did not abuse any civilians after occupying those cities, but also opened up supplies and reduced taxes to them. At present, the residents of these cities have food and work, and they exchange their own labor for compensation. If they are really aggressors, why do they do this?"
"If someone has been to these cities, they will find that the people there live a better life than before. If they are enemies and they are as cruel as the legend, why do they do this? Paul turned his head to Sauron and said, "Please answer this question, Uncle Sauron."
Sauron said with a gloomy face, "This is all a conspiracy! Fate! Even if they have done so much, they can't hide that they are shameful and greedy predators!"
Paul laughed and said, "At least as far as I know, they have looted Uncle Sauron's wealth, right? As for ordinary civilians, how can I see that they don't take a penny?
"This kind of debate is meaningless!" Sauron roared, "Anyway, they are all invaders. As long as they are invaders, I will bombard them out of the mainland!"
Is that right? If it's an aggressor, isn't Uncle Sauron either?"
Solong's pupils shrank and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it?" Paul looked at Sauron without hesitation and said, "Isn't Uncle Sauron not only plundering the former pope, but also the position of my father Paul IV, that has everything today?"
Sauron clenched his fist, and he really didn't expect Paul to tear his face with him in public.
Paul continued: "Uncle Sauron, I have prepared materials to re-examine the cause of the former pope's death. If the result comes out, I think it must be very sensational, isn't it?"
Sauron was finally furious, and Paul had stepped on his bottom line. This young man, whom he has always despised, has raised the truth of the death of the former pope in front of so many people today, which is undoubtedly telling the world that Sauron is the murderer. Even if everyone knows about it, it is one thing to hide it in their hearts and another to put it on the stage.
What's more, in front of so many people, if Sauron secretly interferes with the work of the trial, he is undoubtedly saying that he is the murderer; but if he does not interfere, will the trial make the truth public?
No matter what you do, Sauron will be criticized.
For the first time, Sauron felt a disadvantage in this invisible power struggle. What made him even more annoyed was that he would force Paul into the present situation.
"You are looking for death!" Sauron shouted in a low voice and reached out his hand to grab Paul's void.
The invisible force field covered Paul, but at this time, a figure flashed between them. As soon as the maple horizontal sword was cut, Sauron's power field was cut to pieces. Sauron was shocked. Although he didn't use all his strength, it was not a small thing to catch him angrily. If he is allowed to grasp it, Paul's fragile body will be caught on the spot. Despite this, Sauron will be criticized, but it will be hundreds of times.
He has no patience to play political games with Paul, and he wants to prove to the world that only power is true. But I didn't expect that even such a demonstration could be easily destroyed by a stranger. And the other party did not simply intercept his attack, but destroyed the connection between him and the force field, making him lose all the means of succession.
This matter is irreconvincable. If Sauron continues to take action, the interior of Rome will fall into a divided situation without the sea god group.
Sauron just put away his palms with hatred. The dangerous situation just now can only be felt at a high level. In the eyes of ordinary people, Sauron waved angrily to Paul. They couldn't see that Paul was actually turning around the sickle of death.
Half squinted, Sauron looked at the maple on the stage with dangerous eyes and said, "You look very strange."
Feng said with a smile, "Adults take care of thousands of machines every day, how can they know a small role like me?"
"Little role?" Sauron sneered: "A high-level person is a big man thrown anywhere. Now there are not many people who can stop my blow, and there are very few people who can cut off all behind me. If it hadn't been for the fact that the big man of the Nephen Group had been confirmed to be in Panshi City, I almost thought you were him.
"My lord is flattered. I can't compare with that big man." Feng turned to Paul and said, "Your Highness, today's speech should be almost done."
"It is indeed." Paul smiled.
Sauron suddenly shouted, "Listen, you are not allowed to gather in the square from today."
Paul changed his color and shouted, "There has never been such a law in the Pope's Hall!"
"I have it now, my little Paul." Sauron sneered and said, "Whoever is not convinced should judge with my army!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, and the crowd gave way one after another.
On the high platform, Paul trembled with anger, and then he remembered that such arbitrariness was Sauron's true nature. At the moment when he holds heavy soldiers in his hand, his words are laws and regulations. If Paul violates it, I'm afraid it won't end much better than civilians. After all, he, the Pope, has no real power. Only in this way, the public's dissatisfaction with Sauron is even greater.
Paul walked down from the high platform and thought it might be time to talk to Mendrisa and Joseph the Elder.
In a dim space, a beam of light fell down. Wearing a hooded cloak, his shoulders are decorated with flame lines, and on his chest is a black coat of arms with an inverted cross. A man in a mysterious costume said in a low voice, "I'm summoning you today to decide something. Our Dark Brotherhood was established in the darkest period, and with the wise eyes of everyone here, we can secretly guide the direction of the Pope's Hall until now. But now, the big tree we have cultivated has a faint tendency to get out of control, so here, I propose to abolish continuing to support Sauron and choose another suitable candidate instead. What do you think?"
Another beam of light cast, and appearing in the light is also a mysterious fighter. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I agree that since Sauron killed the bloody knight Lambonis in an unknown way, he is no longer the obedient dog, and he has the idea of biting his owner back."
"I have investigated the death of Lambonis in private. All traces pointed to Sauron's palace, but I sent three spies one after another, but no one came back. The third voice sounded in the darkness, and the voice was as loud as a morning bell, which made people's eardrums hurt: "That palace is now coiled by a huge darkness, and the eyes of the outside world can't penetrate. Even Sauron himself was very afraid of the darkness and moved to another bedroom, but gave up the palace.
"In that case, the dog is not only disobedient, but also intends to bring in the wolf?" Obviously, a woman is talking: "If this happens, do we have to act first?"
"No, so far, even Sauron does not know the existence of our dark fraternity. Exposure too early will not be conducive to our continued purpose of secretly guiding the Pontifical Council. Now we have only two senior members, Mendrisa and Joseph, on the surface of the water, and their strength is not enough to defend Sauron.
"What do you mean?"
"Let the newcomer do it..." Obviously, Mendrisa's voice sounded in the dark: "The leader of the Nepity, the man named Zero, I think he is a good and obvious. And from all the signs, he has joined hands with His Royal Highness Paul. More importantly, he seems to have no intention of intervening in our mainland power circle. For some reason we don't know, he prefers to overthrow Sauron and let His Royal Highness Paul manage the continent.
"Absurd, how can there be such a person?" The first member of the fraternity to speak retorted.
"I also agree with Mendrisa." This is Joseph's voice, and the two have reached an amazing agreement in this regard: "According to the intelligence we put in the Nepity, this zero man has more than once expressed his intention to participate in the mainland power struggle. It seems that he still has stronger enemies. To be honest, I personally think he is more difficult to control. I don't know if you know that he had let Li Ao, the regimental commander of the Second Army, blow up into the sobbing well in a self-destruct way. But he not only came back, but also brought out the survivors who participated in the God-elected program. I think you should understand what this means?"
The sound of inhaling cold air sounded, and the only woman said, "That is to say, the Andura worm also killed him? That's a terrible bug, a bug that we can't control!"
