After entering the study, he immediately threw the documents he had just obtained to Sister Mindy who was buried in a bunch of books, "Pope Alisander VI passed away."

"Why is it so fast? Wasn't it okay when boarding the boat at the dock?" After hearing this, Mindy said as she quickly opened the documents in the message tube and read it twice quickly. "Impossible, this matter is too weird." After saying that, Mindy raised her head and looked at me.

"Uh, please ask, why is it... weird?" Ostan seemed to hear other meanings in Mindy's words, so he asked.

In fact, what Minti said just now refers to the legend about the Destiny Gun. Those who get but lose the Destiny Gun will die soon. But now the real Destiny Gun is in our hands, and we have also tried it specifically. It is the real Destiny Gun. Pope Alisander VI never touched the Destiny Gun from beginning to end. Can this be considered to be gained and lost? If so, the ownership of the Destiny Gun is too intelligent.

"It is no longer important for us whether Pope Alisander VI died of unknown diseases or murder. What is important is who will become the next Pope Rana, what should we take? Well... what is this?" In my words, I noticed what Minti looked at before we came. It was not a material, but a briefing.

"The information sent by the guard Changfeng a few hours ago about the secret agreement between Pope Alisand and the East Rana Empire." Minti raised her head and said to Ostan and Bok: "Master Ostan, Bok, please avoid it."

"Okay...we're outside." As he said, Bock and Ostan nodded slightly, turned around and left the study room

"Your Highness, look at this information first." After Bok and Ostan left, Minti handed over the file on the book to me. "Although I don't know all the terms and contents of the secret agreement between the Pope's Crown and the Eastern Rana Empire, the two currently learned by the Stone Fort Cultural Affairs Office are certain that the Pope's Crown allows the Eastern Rana Empire to adopt some past traditions, including the use of eunuchs in the court and the permission to retain the existence of the 'priestess' in the Orthodox Church of the Eastern Rana Empire. This is a scent. You can understand that the female priest believes that in exchange, the fleet of the Pope's Crown returns was loaded with many gifts from the imperial court of the Eastern Rana Empire. I believe that something big will happen soon. I think the Eastern Rana Empire gave those unknown gifts not in exchange for the promise of the Pope's Crown, but should we inform the Duke of the Lion with other purposes? His Highness?"

After listening to Mindy's report, I frowned and guessed that this was something Roland had done. I didn't understand how she could reach her hands again and again to a place they could not control without any army.

The Pope Rana is at the bottom of the Duchy of Fighting Lions. We have always been maintaining the chaotic situation in that area through various means. For us, the Pope Rana ruled by a local lord and the split southern part of the western continent is beneficial to us. As long as they have been maintaining the pattern and chaos, the current state of the Holy Rana Empire can develop to a scale that the southern countries can no longer reach within ten years. You must know that if the Duchy of Snake, the Wing Lion City-State and the Pope Rana Commander are unified, the business and culture of that unified country will be better than the current Holy Rana Empire, the population is equivalent to the Holy Rana Empire, and the military power will be greatly strengthened.

At the beginning, I only used one Gorton Legion to capture Lana City and support the two companies of Duke Cizel, which was enough to help him defeat the other lords of Pope Lana's territory.

What I am worried about is that Roland gave Duke Cizel something that should not be given deliberately breaking the Holy Rana Empire has been maintaining balance in that area. That is also the result of the land obtained by the Holy Rana Empire's march into Rana. If this result occurs, the colonial conquest plan of the Holy Rana Empire will be put on hold indefinitely at least before handling the affairs of the Pope Rana territory, we cannot devote our experience to the plan of conquest of the East Land.

After thinking about it, I immediately called Ostan, Bock and the liaison officer on standby began to contact various institutions in the Holy Rana Empire to make preliminary adjustments.

When we left New Rana City and returned to the Holy Rana Empire, the fleet of the Three Holy Kingdom and the Three Lion Kingdoms also began to sail towards the Holy City of Byns, opposite the sea.

A month later, we returned to the place where we fought hard in the vast snow - Lanyuan Castle Pass Although it was already a snow country north of Lanyuan Castle Pass, it felt much warmer than the south. Even if we wrapped the earth with a layer of silver makeup, the heavy snow seemed to me like a thick velvet blanket.

People living in the stone fortress are getting the return of the Emperor's team and

After Yuanbao Pass, he pulled out his own horses and put on a sled to the pass. He drove to the stone fort with the soldiers of the Gordon Legion talking and laughing. This had been approved by Ostan. The soldiers who arrived at the Stone Fort would gather in the Gordon Army camp outside the Stone City.

Of course, not every sled is beautiful. Many soldiers in the Gorton Legion come from the Stone Fort area, so the soldiers in the Stone Fort area are also the most casualties among the Saint Ranath** team.

Some civilians can see their sons or husbands who have returned alive among the soldiers, and some can only get news about their relatives from their fellow villagers who were summoned by the empire with their sons or husbands. On the snow beside Lanyuanbao Town, there are scenes of sadness and joy.

"What's wrong? Ostan." Looking at the crowd on the snow, seeing that Ostan next to him was a little strange, he asked.

"I was wondering... how many mistakes did I make in the war with the Mutu people?" As he said, Ostan sighed softly: "If we had made more careful arrangements, there would be more happy people today."

"Yes," nodded silently. After a while, he turned around and continued to Ostan: "If you can think of a better way to improve our deployment mechanism, it is inevitable that people will die in war, but if you don't fight, you will be beaten."

"You are a wise monarch, and I can't think of any other praises now. You have let our empire sacrifice many soldiers. Just to make the war more orderly is enough to make you among the greatest commanders in history."

"It also killed more people. The tombs we built for the fallen soldiers of Mutu outside the pass have made our officers and soldiers understand that they are not killing each other for the sake of the Father God, and the pagans are not pigs and dogs, but people like us. I don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing for me as a commander."

"Haha, they are not because of Orthodox faith, but because of obedience, whether it is obedience to commands or respecting those opponents that we admire, I think this is the spirit of the Gordon, the virtue of the Gordon Knight.

This is not a conflict, Your Highness.”

"So... As the military ministers of the Holy Rana Empire, I hope you can remember what you saw today." As he said, he looked at Ostan for a moment of silence: "You have done well." After saying that, he turned around and patted Bock on the shoulder: "So too, I believe that the Earl of Golden Oak and His Majesty the Emperor will be relieved to see you today."

"Well...thank you, Your Highness, our guest is here." As he said, Bock pointed at me behind me

Looking back, I saw that Dongliangjun and Dingchao Zhengzheng were walking towards us with white mist. Their outfits looked a little weird. Outside the Lanyuan Fort Pass, they heard that the army had passed the border between the Holy Rana Empire and the Dongla Na Empire. In order to show their friendship and solemnity, all the officials of the Dingchao Envoys changed into their Dingchao official uniforms. However, the cold in the Geton area was a little beyond their imagination, so I sent someone to send coats and boots to the members of the envoys.

So... they are now like they are wearing Dingchao official hats, grey coats of the Gedun Legion officers, Dingchao robe and official uniforms, and brown leather boots, which looks like a real time travel, but fortunately, they look good.

"Haha, the two adults can't wait to see the scenery of the Holy Rana Empire?" He greeted them with a smile, walked in front of them and continued, "But I'm afraid you will disappoint you. Now the winter in Gotton has arrived. There is snow everywhere in the Holy Rana Empire, and there is no beautiful scenery. And... the winter will last for a long time. You must know that the southern part of the Western Continent can only be regarded as late autumn."

"We think it's pretty good." After listening to the translation of the Mulander people, Dongliangjoon smiled and pulled the collar of the coat higher. "We just walked around and saw the custom of your people returning."

"The custom of returning?" After hearing Dongliangjun's words, I looked at Boke and Ostan behind me. What I got from them was also shook my head with questions, and it seemed that they didn't know either.

Seeing this, Lord Yong responded: "Yes, we just saw many noble officials praying in front of a stone tablet outside the city wall, saying something like "passing through the canyon of death, fearlessness, etc., is the canyon of death referring to this place?"

"…………” After hearing the words of the Ding Chaozheng, we were silent.

After a while, Bock, behind him, silently recited: "The Father in heaven is my shepherd, and I will not lack Him to make me lie on the grass and lead me to rest by the waters that can rest; He awakens my soul, and guides me through the path of righteousness for his own name. Although I walk through the valley of the shade of death, I am not afraid of harm, because you are with me; Your rod and your rod comfort me before my enemies, and you set up a banquet for me; You anointed my head with oil, so that my blessed cup will overflow my life, and I will be with me, and I will live in the house of God the Father forever" (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log in.
