Public trial?You deserve it too!

Especially when Claude discovered that this Felix knight was not the same kind of person as the Claude knight he played. The other party was not a guy who was passionate only for the glory of the empire—so why did this guy choose this path? , is an interesting topic.

But Claude is not in a hurry, just grind it slowly, ask a question today, and ask a question tomorrow, anyway, with the system, the polygraph machine, you can always find a flaw.

Although the polygraph machine has been a bit noisy recently, there is no sloppy work in this matter.

Now all his attention is on the handover in front of him.

They are now at the border of the Turin Province of the Empire. Although it is a bit of a detour to go here, the terrain and roads are very suitable for the march of the brigade, so the Jiujin Cavalry entered the Theocracy along this road.

The supplementary soldiers brought by Lieutenant General Maxim will also accompany them, but other ordnance supplies will stay here, and will not be officially loaded and shipped until the two parties have finished the negotiation.

Looking at the flag of the Rebel Cross in front of him, Claude still couldn't bear the bad taste of his senior - why don't you use a sickle and a hammer, rounding it up is also a cross, isn't it? Anyway, one is used to nail people and the other is used to Hanging people, no difference.

"I am the head of the Church's office, Cardinal Livière, and I will be in charge of all your affairs and security in the Church—may I ask which one is Your Excellency Claude?"

A man in a black teaching uniform smiled lightly and rode out.

"it's me."

Claude also rode out, but the other party's clothing and position made him frown a little. Isn't there only a cardinal in the Theocracy?When is there a cardinal?And what kind of organization is the main hall? Why does it sound the same as the pope's hall?

"I have long admired your name, Knight Claude."

The man named Livière looked at Claude, nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture.

"Then, please come with me, Your Excellency, and I will act as a guide to lead the way for the knights of the empire."

Claude took a few steps forward and drove side by side with the other party, and the knights of the Theocracy and the Empire also lined up side by side, walking towards the territory of the Theocracy.

"I don't know when His Excellency Levier was promoted to the position of cardinal? Forgive me for my ignorance, but I have never heard of such a position—and it seems that there are no other cardinals to assist you in the handover?"

Claude went straight to the point. He didn't expect to get any decent answers, but as long as Livière spoke, he could extract knowledge and intelligence from it.

"It's normal that Your Excellency Claude hasn't heard of me. After all, this position has just been born, and I even suspect that this title was just made up."

Livière showed a very talkative image of a good old man.

"The so-called cardinal literally means the leader in charge of all the cardinals—however, it's funny to say that there are not many cardinals left, but at this time a new one has been established. Position, do you think this is funny?"

Claude was taken aback, and looked at Livière, who was half-smiling.

What did the other party say just now?

How many cardinals were killed?

"Your Excellency was probably joking with me just now? Cardinals are the pillars of the Theocracy. Without them, I'm afraid the normal operation of the Theocracy will be difficult, right?"

"Well, I was only the cardinal's group of stupid guys who had such an idea, but will even Lord Claude have such an idea?"

Livière said pretending to be distressed.

"Oh, how could the Theocracy fall into chaos because of the loss of a group of insects? After all, the people they commanded, appointed, and sent were all believers with firm beliefs. Man, there is no difference."

"It's better to say that without these guys who are only full of selfish desires and have forgotten their beliefs, the integration and unity of the entire Theocracy have been improved to a higher level——Your Majesty the Emperor should also recognize it? After all, it wasn't just now Did you just kill all the great nobles? And you also personally wiped out the insects in the empire."

Livière obviously puts the skill of yin and yang strangeness very high.

"Oh, I originally thought that as the two knives in charge of cleaning, we could have a good chat between us--it's a pity that your words, Mr. Claude, have lowered my senses a bit. .”

Claude's heart sank. When the other party said these words, his arrogance could be called arrogance-and he could be appointed as a cardinal under the current situation and was also responsible for purging other bishops. It is impossible for Livière to do this for the sake of People who mocked the empire and themselves, and began to expose the secret information of the Theocracy.

So the other party's performance now can only explain one thing - this is an act that has been instructed.

So what is the purpose?Is it a demonstration?or...

"It's true. After all, there are these guys. Apart from dragging the country's hind legs, they have no effect."

The knight chuckled, nodded, and approved of Livière's words.

"Yeah, yeah, after losing these guys, I always feel a lot more relaxed—ah, by the way, please tell your Majesty the Emperor about something, that is, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has been a little too restless recently, so we Cleaned up all of them without any hassle, and please don't be angry, Your Majesty."

Livière smiled again and threw out a blockbuster.

"Anyway, the three places are already gone. If they all need to be rebuilt, adding one four places won't add much work, right?"

Claude frowned.

"...What's the use of telling me about this kind of thing?"

"Hey? Isn't your Excellency the director of the First Division of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau? I think as a colleague, it's okay to help spread the word. After all, His Majesty the Emperor trusts you a lot. Otherwise, if you don't trust us, wouldn't you be disappointed? Did we try hard?"

Livière's expression didn't change at all, and he was still smiling.

"...The Theocracy is really well-informed."

Claude just snorted coldly, didn't speak any more, just continued walking with his head sullen.

The performance of the other party is clearly trying to confuse the public and make his emotions fluctuate, so the credibility of the words he said is extremely low until the authenticity is verified-this also means that it is no longer possible to learn from the other party. Get any valid information.

Seeing this, Livière didn't say much anymore, but continued to do his duty of leading the way with a smile, keeping pace with Claude.

--------------------------------------------------

Five days later, Holy City, Vatican.

The Ninth Guards Knights and [-] Constantine knights as supplementary soldiers were stationed outside the city, and only Claude, as the general who negotiated a common marching route, entered the city with the mission.

Unlike the imperial capital, the Vatican has a city wall, but in terms of population, of course it is an overwhelming shortage here.

However, outside the holy city, a huge settlement has formed, where countless people live, and from time to time, people can be seen devoutly praying in the direction of the Vatican.

So if the Vatican is regarded as the palace city within the imperial capital, then the entire region is no different from the imperial capital.

Claude felt a little pity. After all, he must not see anything in the Vatican. He wanted to stay outside the city with the army, but after all, he still had the status of an envoy, so he had no choice but to give up.

General Maxim and his deputy head of the nine cavalry, Dothan, stayed in the army outside the city, but with the other party's character and attitude towards the Theocracy, they definitely couldn't serve as Claude's minions.

Fortunately, he has backup means.

"Dorson, you don't need to restrain your subordinates too much during this period. After all, you will spend a long time on the ship and in no-man's land. Let everyone relax. Discipline is enough not to let outsiders enter the barracks."

Claude ordered, and even Maxim did not refute this order - after all, not every soldier is a superman with steel nerves, and these people will stay on the front line of Constantine for at least ten years in the future. Get them on their nerves now.

The head of the knights winked at his chief of staff, Georgi, who immediately understood.

Just as the emperor promised, after Claude took down the three offices of the entire Imperial Intelligence Bureau, his meritorious service finally reached the lower limit of the first-line knight order, so the entire nine-nine cavalry was quickly doubled, and the number of Mithril knights It reached 8000, but the number of dragoons remained unchanged at 4000.

And Georgie and Irwin, naturally relying on this expansion, joined Claude's command, one became the commander and chief of staff of the Dragoon Regiment, and the other became the head of the intelligence and logistics department.

Although the current abilities of these two people are still a little immature, and together they may not be enough for Gorman alone, but they are also the leaders of the younger generation. This time, let them be in charge of intelligence collection in the Theocracy. Some utility.

However, Claude didn't hold much hope. After all, according to Villiers' tone, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau should have been uprooted, so he maintained higher vigilance against the Ecclesiastical Intelligence Agency.

He hasn't figured out until now why the other party wants to tell him about things around. It stands to reason that in intelligence warfare, the superior party should take advantage of the situation that the inferior party does not know to pass false information, or insert spies in the opposite direction. Planning to give the empire a big one.

But the Theocracy just said this?Although the emperor and Claude would not take the information from around too seriously, the Theocracy shouldn't be such a waste of cards - after all, they can only fight against the current empire with all their strength.

But there is one thing that can be verified now.

Claude narrowed his eyes, looked at the cardinals who were hanged on the reverse cross, and his heart sank slightly - he now knows why Humphrey's proud layout was not caught by the Theocracy's intelligence agencies .

Because they also hope to use this situation to hold back the bishops.

Today, the bishops at the first level in the church have been completely purged. It stands to reason that this is a major event that shakes the country. Whether it is a reshuffle of power or such an act of throwing the political table, it should cause an uproar——

But along the way, Claude didn't notice any waves in all the towns and villages he passed.

It's as if no one cares about it at all.

This shows a very terrifying reality-the pope has never lost control of the entire church country, from politics to the army to the people, the whole country has always been loyal to each other's feet.

As for the bishop...

It is probably for the empire to see. After all, as long as these guys exist for a day, the empire will not think that the church can win them. It's mange--

Parliamentarianism, occasionally a god, but always a madman.

Here in the Theocracy, it was the same before, with these bishops pulling each other, and intelligence everywhere, the empire can turn a lot of attention to other directions.

It's just that now, the bishops are dead, but to the Theocracy, it seems like a few insects have died. There are no constraints and no interests. attention!

Claude froze for a moment.

Before, he had always had a doubt, that is, when the Theocracy was deploying other forces, it was clear that it was going to delay the time, so that the empire would have the idea of ​​accomplishing all its achievements in one battle, and turn all its energy to the Theocracy.

So they also prepared the pawn Augustus, the purpose of which is to anger the emperor, make the emperor hate the Theocracy to the bone, let anger prevail, and raise troops in anger-as long as they can grasp this flaw, they can disrupt The empire's Millennium Plan has thus opened a gap in this impenetrable strategy.

Claude knew that with the ability of the Theocracy, if the opponent wanted Augustus to die, then he might not be able to save Augustus, and facing the layout, the lower level must be the one who broke the game, because it was a passive response .

So in order to deal with this situation, he immediately started his own plan - he started to arrange for Shire at the end of the school year, and brought out the combination of Shire and Gorman, the illegitimate son and the Avenger, and sent it to the cloth The Lietani Peninsula pulled the Merchant Alliance into the water,

His purpose is very simple, it is to let the business alliance jump out to attract firepower. After all, no matter how much the old emperor likes Augustus, the behavior of the business alliance going ashore and jumping face can definitely divert his attention.

Compared with killing his son and humiliating the country, as long as the old emperor is not completely crazy, he must know which one to deal with first.

But Claude never imagined that the basis of the empire's millennium plan was not to bet on faces, betting that each of the offspring would be SSRs, but to preserve the consciousness of all emperors and stack them into a UR—this made Claude De's plan seemed a little out of character, because the emperor had already calmed down when Augustus died.

So after knowing that the Theocracy's plan was bound to go bankrupt, Claude has been busy with his own affairs in a relaxed and happy manner—also waiting for the Theocracy's response.

And because of the emperor's purge of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau and the quietness of the Theocracy, he began to neglect this aspect.

So a new problem of blackness under the lights appeared, and it was not until now that Claude discovered this problem——

That is...does the Theocracy know the current state of the emperors?

This is a very, very, very fucking question.

Claude doesn't believe in the Church and doesn't know.

Because when he looked back belatedly at this time, he realized that the current mainland dramas are actually no different from what the Theocracy expected before——

The business alliance's face-jumping did not bring about the emperor's anger. The former emperors not only helped the current emperor calm down when facing the death of Augustus, but also helped the emperor calm down when facing the business alliance's face-jumping .

After all, what Claude thought before was that the emperor must consider his own image - after all, the previous emperors did not lose an inch of land, and now he has lost the land and let the merchant alliance go ashore, which makes him have no face to meet his ancestors. .....

As a result, the ancestors directly waved their hands and said it’s okay, we forgive you, you can just keep doing it, I think this is a good opportunity blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Then the emperor immediately found the value of Claude's move. After all, opening a bloodletting hole for the merchant alliance on the Brittany peninsula is easier than letting the North Sea Fleet and the Armada Fleet die at sea. Much more effective.

The specific result is that the front of the Brittany Peninsula and the Merchant Alliance has once again fallen into a long-term confrontation between the two sides, which is no different from that on the ocean.

And the situation that Claude hoped, that is, the situation where the empire first mobilized to attack the business alliance, has been postponed indefinitely again——

This is exactly the same situation as the Theocracy wanted to create before!

The Burning World: Chapter 253 Chapter 230 Six Cultural Treasures

"The current situation is no different from what the other side hoped to see when they laid out the layout... The current situation of the empire is still the same as I analyzed before, that is, the other three fronts of the empire can be settled with delay. To be able to wait for victory, the only way to face the Theocracy is to take the initiative to attack—and if it wins here, it will be the victory of the entire continent!"

Claude rubbed his fingers, but there was no expression on his face.

It's not anxiety or anger—it's something he only does when he's fully excited.

"Everything still developed according to the direction you thought...Obviously I have let Shire and Gorman make things the biggest, but are you still caught?"

"You are not worried about the merchant alliance going ashore, because you have already thought about it, this matter will not disrupt the Church, no, it will disrupt your plan...Then what you have to do next, Instead, he wanted to help the Merchant Alliance gain a foothold on the Brittany Peninsula, because the more he did this, the more the emperor would delay the general attack on the Merchant Alliance—he wished that more members of the Merchant Alliance would go to the mainland to kill him !"

good, very good.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still on the march, he would have laughed almost immediately.

Claude had to admit that this time, he was the one who was out of shape.

Although the emperor's anomaly can be used to blame, but Claude doesn't bother to do this kind of thing at all-every move is a bad move, he wants to compete with the opponent, but obviously the game he made is too small , was directly inserted into the bread, so that it failed to make any splashes.
