Chapter 657: The Ultimate Goal
"Ah!! The sun never sets on these abominable people! "Tearing the intelligence in his hand to shreds, the Holy Shrine on the papal throne. Alcot angrily tore up the letter of information in his hand and roared at several bishops around him, "Didn't you hear what I just said? Why don't you go and smash all the mercenary guilds in the country for me? ”
For what is sacred. The reason why Elcott became so angry after reading the letter in his hand was not because the president of the Sunset Mercenary Guild directly sent it to St. Saint. Elcot, after all, he can do this kind of thing, and it is estimated that only Sun Lin can do what he says in the entire King Continent, but despite this, what the president of the Sun Never Sets Mercenary Guild has done is similar to the handling plan of some letters with "Guan Lao Tzu's shit": Mobilize the network established by the Mercenary Guild in the entire King Continent to condemn the Holy Light Empire, and directly said that this matter is simply a high-level criminal of the Divine Light Empire who wants to hire him as a mercenary of the Mercenary Association, The Sun Never Sets Mercenary Guild is unlikely to make amends. And for such a situation St. Elcott found himself unable to fight back.
It is no wonder that the Sunset Mercenary Guild, as the first mercenary guild on the King's Continent, has become the only force in the King's Continent that can provide mercenaries to employers, and it is also a non-empire-level force but its influence is much higher than that of the empire-level force.
And because of the mercenary guild's reasonable benefit distribution system, always providing a variety of mercenary tasks with good returns, and being able to provide mercenaries with living security under the protection of the commercial guild of the empire on which the sun never sets, all adventurers in the king continent or many people who are interested in the mercenary position have joined the mercenary association.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that after the mercenary guild made a seemingly crazy decision, but in fact it was a decision that made the mercenary guild irreplaceable on the king continent: with the secret support of the Great Empire of the Sun, borrowing the cheap steel inlay armor generated by the Great Empire of the Sun (many powerful forces think. The excellent armor-casting technique of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets is that the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets can cast full-body plate armor without gaps, but in fact, many people ignore that the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has two major skills in armor casting, the first is to cast a full-body plate armor without gaps but can allow the wearer to move freely, and the second is to create a defense comparable to the half-body plate armor, but the weight is lighter than the half-body plate armor, and compared with ordinary plate armor, it not only has a strong outer skin but can resist the sworn enemy of the plate armor- The steel inlaid armor of the armor-piercing weapon strike), a large number of mercenaries and the operating funds provided by the Sunset Merchant Department in the shadows, the Sunset Empire decided to sell the mercenary legions to the major powers.
On this continent, which is still dominated by crowd tactics, the two sides often compete not in the command ability of the two sides, but in the number of soldiers, the quality of the equipment on the soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers. Among them, the number of soldiers is the best, so most of the imperial generals think that the number of soldiers is the better, so the mercenary guild launched 10 mercenary groups with a number of about 5,000 people that day, and the strength assessment of this mercenary group The mercenary guild also specially uses the evaluation of the strength of the army to divide the strength of the empire. A total of 50,000 mercenary corps were hired in less than a month after its launch, and the other dozens of mercenary corps offered by the Empire of the Rising Sun were treated similarly. This situation not only made the empire behind the Sun Never Set Mercenary Guild a lot of money. Moreover, it also made the mercenary guild become a magic weapon that could make one's army win the war in the eyes of most countries in the King Continent (after all, the mercenaries of the Great Empire where the sun never sets will not be those peasants and miscellaneous soldiers drawn from the countryside.) Most of the mercenaries who can participate in the mercenary corps have been trained by some retired officers who never set the sun, and when they have a certain battlefield, they are several times stronger than the battles of cannon fodder pulled from the countryside.
"But, but His Highness the Pope, we have no excuse to smash those mercenary guilds! If we rush in front of people and smash the branches of those mercenary guilds in such an unknown way, then our reputation on the King's Continent will drop a lot, after all, the Mercenary Guild has given many powerful forces on the King's Continent the ability to turn the tide of the war. This even includes some of our allies. After the crowd looked at each other for a while, finally a bishop came out and said to the saint. Elcott said.
"But are we now watching the great empire on which the sun never sets do evil everywhere under our holy light?"
"Your Majesty, this matter can actually be done slowly, in fact, I have already thought of a way to deal with those mercenary guilds that never set." Right now. A thief-headed archpriest stood up to the saint. Elcott said, "Your Majesty, as the land where the Holy Light shines, our Great Empire of Divine Light will never allow heretics to walk, especially those who oppose our Great Empire of Divine Light. ”
The words of this thief-headed and thief-brained high priest made the saint. Elcott himself seemed to have seized some opportunity to calm down after a moment of contemplation, and said to the thief-headed archpriest, "What do you mean? Do you already have a way to deal with the Mercenary Guild? ”
"Of course, Your Majesty." The priest replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, now the Holy Light has shone on half of the King Continent, and more than half of the human beings in the King Continent are followers of our Holy Light Sect, and what did the group of heretics from the Sun Never Set did before that?" They dare to make a move against the Holy Light City, the holy land of our Holy Light Cult, then doesn't this clearly mean that the sun never sets on the great empire of the Christian heretics is blaspheming our Holy Light Sect? In such a situation, we only need to classify those heretics of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets as enemies of the Holy Light Cult, then will those Christians in the Guild of Mercenaries who never set still have the ability to resist? And if we create such a situation, maybe we can not only make the group of infidels in the Great Empire where the sun never sets taste the bitterness, but also make that group of heretics become the rats that everyone in the king continent shouts and beats.
"Very good ploy." Saint. Elcott's eyes lit up after hearing the plan proposed by the high priest in front of him, but at this moment, a cathar warrior panicked and opened the door of the Basilica of the Holy Light, ran in and rushed to the Holy Church. Beside Elcot, he handed a letter to St. Brown. Alcott then said to him, "Your Majesty, it's not good, you can take a look at this." ”
"What's wrong? What is this............. what! ”
At this time, the city of Godot in the Maginot Line, thousands of miles away...................
Godot City was originally just a small city in the square area of the coastal cities of the Commercial Alliance, but as the battle between the Great Empire of the Sun and the Great Empire of Divine Light was about to start, the Maginot Line was built rapidly, and many coastal cities like Godot City were connected to the walls of the Maginot Line, and their internal inhabitants were transferred, and the city was transformed into a giant bunker and even a star castle.
Although these cities converted into fortresses were formerly considered commercial districts, the defense of these things did not fall on the walls built on the coastline, which can be seen from the fact that the sun never sets on the side of the city to arm these modified cities with new No. 2 guns, and in the arming of the other walls of the Maginot Line, the number of No. 1 guns and No. 1 guns has reached more than 1,000 and nearly 2,000 guns.
"The main reason why I want to shake out all the bad deeds of those bishops before the Holy Light Great Empire is not because I need to delay the attack speed of the Holy Light Great Empire as soon as possible, because according to my estimates, plus the information gathered before, even if the Holy Light Great Empire starts preparing to start a war now, it will be a few months later, if it is just for this reason, then I can wait for a month or two later."
"Why is that, Your Majesty Sun Lin." Leo asked as he handed the information in his hand to Sun Lin.
"It's very short, because of the influence of the Holy Light Empire, to be exact, the Holy Light Sect that it has." Speaking of this, Sun Lin's brows obviously wrinkled with the word "Chuan": "If the influence of the Holy Light Sect is too great in the King Continent, I estimate that the Holy Light Sect. As long as Pope Elcott is not a fool, he will definitely use the destruction of the Holy Light Cathedral by the mercenaries of our Empire on the grounds that the Holy Light Cultists will directly deal with the people of the Mercenary Guild, and indirectly deal with the Christians of our Empire, so that we will be in an extremely passive state at that time. But what if we now bring to light the bad deeds of those high-ranking members of the Holy Light Sect? As long as we have the ability to prove that these bad deeds are true, then those low-level disciples of the Holy Light Sect who are good at listening to rumors will lose hope in the Holy Light Sect. What if Elcot defines us Christianity as a cult and is the sworn enemy of the Holy Light Cult? The people at the bottom who have lost faith in the Holy Light Sect will not come forward to stand on the side of the Holy Light Sect at all. ”
"I see, Your Majesty Sun Lin, is this the real purpose of what you need those materials?"
"No, it's just one of them, because there's something good in this information that will allow me to confront a mysterious race, and that's the end goal." (To be continued......)
