"Remembering me at this time......" In the palatial hall, a middle-aged man who was very well maintained threw a letter on the table in front of him.

He was about thirty or forty years old, but his face was radiant, and his blonde hair shone faintly in the sun.

He had already read the letter sent by the envoy of the Flame Empire, and the conditions given by the other party had to be said to be very generous, which made the supreme pope in the Holy See very excited.

However, the greater the temptation, the deeper the trap is likely, so he has not yet made up his mind whether to be the first bird to come.

An archbishop standing at the foot of the steps was a little anxious, and said to him: "Your Majesty the Pope...... The Flame Empire is going to experiment with the depths at this time...... It's really not good. ”

"Although I know that he doesn't have any good intentions, I think I should give it a try." The other archbishop spoke at this time and gave a diametrically opposed opinion.

"This ...... His Majesty the Pope...... If we fight with each other to lose both, wouldn't it be cheaper for the Flame Empire? Hearing that someone was opposed to him, the archbishop, who had spoken first, immediately opened his mouth to retort.

"You're right, if we fight with the other party, it is indeed the Flame Empire that will benefit, but if we don't fight, it may not be our Holy See who will benefit." At this point, the minister who suggested meddling continued to defend his claims.

The Pope's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, as if he had just woken up. He glanced at the letter he had thrown on the table, sighed, and said, "I have to think about the benefits we will gain if we win. If the Flame Empire surrenders, then even if we have a real territory, this benefit must be carefully considered. ”

In the past, the Holy See did not dare to start religious wars lightly in order to avoid provoking the Empire. The contradiction between imperial power and divine power has continued until now.

Because of the mutual constraints between the various empires, the Holy See has developed into the current state.

In the past, it was because the empires didn't take the Holy See seriously, so they didn't pay too much attention to such a small force. Who would have thought that a thousand years ago, the Holy See accidentally obtained the Celestial Sword, the weapon of the gods, and became an existence above the four empires.

With the Heavenly God Sword, the Holy See has completely become an existence that no one in the four empires can provoke! Although there is still not much land, the Holy See has become the strongest force to balance the four empires!

If this crisis can be used to gain the territory of an empire, it will be the best opportunity for the Holy See to secure its own "independent state".

Of course? The Flame Empire's promises may not all be fulfilled? It's just that at that time, will the Flame Empire still have the courage to face the Holy Cult Army that has defeated the gods? No one knows.

The Pope continues to speak slowly? He said what he thought: "In addition, we have to purge these outsiders...... Aren't they real gods? Because they call themselves empires, not the kingdom of God! ”

Monarchy and theocracy have been opposed since ancient times? Twin sons who hate each other. Because the cake is just a little bigger? If the clergy takes a piece, the imperial power will have to eat one less, which is a matter of no choice.

Since you can't make a big cake, snatch each other's cake from each other? It has become everyone's inevitable choice - who wants to eat more? This is determined by the greed in the human bones.

It is precisely because of this that the countries that call themselves empires must not be friends of the Holy See! This is determined by position, as if capitalism would not like those who want to take their lives.

So, when the Ranhill Empire asked the commoners to honor only their own emperor? I hope that the Holy See on Planet 2 will become the natural enemy of the Iran Hill Empire!

The same? The Holy See also loves the Ranhill Empire, and it is what they must face now? The most powerful enemy.

"The ideas they instill in the common people, not respect for the gods? Rather, it is subject to the laws of the Empire...... This is contrary to our faith! "The Pope to the two archbishops standing there at the bottom of the steps? He continued to express his opinion: "If they are willing to respect the gods? Then we are natural allies! But they demand that people obey their emperor, which is the natural opposite of the gods we believe in! ”

"So we can only split a winner with them! This is a war that must be fought...... Either way, this is a test God has given us, and we must prove that our faith is as unbreakable as a mountain! He said this and stood up.

This man in his forties was tall and exuded a natural majesty. He wears a patterned white robe with red accents on his shoulders.

"As always! The Holy Cult will fight for the true God! Get the Grand Knight Commander ready! Knights of the Holy Order, come with me! The Pope stretched out his hand and made a gesture to go.

Seeing that the Pope had decided to go to war, the two archbishops could only bend down slightly and sing loudly: "Your Majesty the Pope is wise!" ”

The blonde pope, who had turned around, didn't say anything more, but walked straight to a long corridor dotted with torches behind him.

The promenade slopes downward, flanked by guards in addition to torches. The guards bowed their heads as the Pope passed—and it was only when they did this that they felt as if they were alive.

The Pope didn't stop, but walked on like this, until he came to a huge stone door, and then stretched out his palm.

His hand pressed against a stone, and the stone door began to slowly open. Inside the stone gate was darkness, as if there was no end to it.

By the light of the doorway, the Pope reached out and took a torch from a nearby wall. He continued with his torch in hand, the beating light illuminating only a short stretch of the road beneath his feet.

"Dash...... Da ...... ......"In this empty darkness, only the footsteps of the Pope echoed alone. Finally, in the place where the little firelight in front of the pope was illuminated, a stone platform appeared.

On top of this stone platform, there lies quietly a thing that reflects the light of the torch throughout. The Pope stood there, looking down at the thing lying quietly on the stone platform, and after a moment he spoke: "I'm sorry, but I have to rely on your strength again......"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the thing that was lying there quietly.
