The Great Conqueror

Zou Liang only paused for a while, but still made a very rational decision to tell the truth. Judging from the performance of the Pope today, it is not so accidental that the edict was handed over to him.

"Your Majesty, Snow Maiden and Emma have merged into one, and many behaviors have gradually become like our orcs."

Zou Liang thought about his words.

The Pope smiled, and Bott nodded beside him, "The wilderness invaded, and the Snow Maiden actually acted for you. It seems that the prophecy is not false at all, and the Snow Maiden will also be an important part of this holy war."

Zou Liang cooperated very well with a confused and questioning expression.

"It's normal for you not to understand. In fact, you have a lot of doubts and your own guesses, but basically His Majesty's entrusting the edict to you is also according to the prophecy."

Bott explained that this involves the most mysterious prophecy of the Holy See.

"I didn't hand over the Holy Order to you. Your Holy Order chose you. Although Benedict VIII sealed the Snow Demon Queen in the first battle, he was also severely injured, causing the most powerful power of the Holy See to fail to pass normally. Now, my power is at the cost of my life."

The pope said calmly, seeming to miss it a bit, "The power of each pope will no longer be used at will, and the use is at the cost of life."

It is also a bit sad to say here, when reaching the peak of power and strength, one must also bear the greatest shackles, which is why the popes of all ages are "weakened". For the sake of life, they cannot show their strength at will, unless they are impatient to live, or the Holy See is at a critical moment of life and death.

But in fact, the prestige of the Holy See is still there. The weakening of the Pope only reduces the influence of the Holy See. At the same time, another problem also arises. The weakening of the Pope also leads to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the knights.

Freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, lacking the influence of the Pope's battle song, the level of Meng Jia's fighters has also dropped to a level, to be precise, the entire continent has been lowered.

Today, the Pope told Arthur the biggest secret of the Vatican, and this is also the biggest doubt when contacting Zou Liang. With the divine magic that the Pope has practiced in the arena, as long as he uses it a few times, no one would dare to resist the Vatican. It turns out that there is a price to be paid for using this kind of power. Even the Pope is unwilling to fight casually. After all, no one wants to seek death.

"In order to cope with this situation, the inner court has been hidden. Until today, all the resources of the Holy See have been spent on the inner court, in order to ensure that once the jihad comes, there are people who can fight."

Kurt said, "We will secretly select talents from all over the country to secretly cultivate, but even so, it is still difficult. Fortunately, the eighth generation Pope used the strongest prophecy before his death, leaving a prophecy until your appearance."

"You can use the power of God without paying a price." The pope said word by word.

The so-called power of God is the power of war songs.

After Benedict VIII was seriously injured, anyone who wanted to use this magical power was consuming his life potential. He didn't realize it at the beginning, but as a large number of Warsong priests aged and died rapidly, the Holy See finally discovered this secret, so it was able to make it look like it was lost and downplay it. Of course, it also indirectly accelerated the decline of the Holy See.

The power is still there, it's just too expensive.

As for Arthur, it is obviously impossible to know the secrets of the Holy See. His background is so ordinary that even the shamans don't know about it. Only the Pope and the inner court know all of this.

This made the pope realize that the person in the prophecy had appeared, so the holy order was handed over to Zou Liang, because the newborn Snow Queen was different from the other three demon kings.

The Pope just handed over the decree to Arthur, and no one else could control it. Facts have proved that everything is moving in the direction predicted by Benedict VIII. It is even more unbelievable that the Snow Maiden merged with the orcs, but it does prove the possibility of cooperation, but obviously the bridge is Arthur.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Zou Liang said in a deep voice. He didn't know if there was a god. He even doubted the world once, doubting himself. It was very chaotic and responsible, but now he is an orc and a member of the Holy See. He needs to do something. Maybe there is a power beyond his worldview in the universe. If this power is God, he recognizes it.

Benedict XV smiled and shook his head slightly, "I don't know either. All I have to do is prepare for the jihad. Only you know what you can do, but one thing is certain. After the jihad, you will be the next Pope. If we are still alive, this world is still in the hands of orcs."

The three demon kings have accumulated terrifying power. The most terrifying thing is that they hide among the orcs and use the power of the orcs to fight against the Holy See.

Saying this sentence on any occasion would be explosive, but the three people here are very calm, even Zou Liang didn't do anything because of this sentence.

To be honest, today, he will not be ecstatic just because of a word. The Pope is not something he can become the Pope if he wants to, nor will it be because of a word from Benedict XV, but he also knows that the Pope does not need to come here to tempt him.

Suddenly Zou Liang saw a kind of determination from the Pope's old face, maybe the Pope didn't think of surviving this jihad.

The three demon kings who have awakened, the three powerful forces, it is too difficult, Mengjia has not yet unified, and the consuls will never be captured without a fight.

Zou Liang also finally understood why the pope wanted to train Nebello. This was a helpless choice. If he did not appear as predicted, it would indeed be the best choice for Nebello to become the pope and solidify Meng Jia.

But all this changed because of his appearance. The Pope hoped that Nebello would make the right decision.

What will happen to Nebello?

Zou Liang didn't know, really didn't know.

Bot smiled, "Don't be so nervous, even launching a jihad is not so fast. You need to prepare in the early stage, and the inner court will deal with these things. The direction you should work hard should be in the sky-reaching realm. Although I don't know what there is on the road to the sky, if you can get it, it should be of great help to our jihad this time."

Zou Liangliang nodded, "I'll definitely do my best, but I'm only at the Jin Yao level now, and I'm still a bit powerless against dark gold masters."

The Pope and Bot looked at each other and smiled, "You know how fast your strength has improved. In just three years, from white clothes to golden glory, it sounds like a joke, but it appeared in front of our eyes. Sometimes, in addition to strength, it also depends on a little bit of luck, or God's blessing."

"Your Majesty, with the prestige of the Holy See, if the monster race is revealed, will it make them mess up?"

"It's not that we haven't thought about it, it's just too difficult. The three demon kings were destroyed, but their power has been passed down through a way we can't control. They have integrated into our society and cannot be separated. They won't have any effect. And the prestige of the Holy See is not five hundred years ago. The problem now is that we have to deal with the three demon kings, and at the same time guard against the ambitious Hannibal Empire."

That's what hurts the most, Bott said, and that's the reality.

Zou Liang was indeed scratching his head. If this is the case, the wilderness controlled by the Three Demon Kings, the Kingdom of the Wind, and the Saron Empire must be together, and there is no possibility of restraining each other. The Hannibal Empire has Meng Jia as its opponent. Meng Jia can neither ignore nor put the main force on the Hannibal Empire.

This is quite a headache.

To be honest, Zou Liang admired the pope. The pope was really exhausted. The pope was really powerful a long time ago, but the current pope is very pitiful, especially Benedict XV. The previous ones have all passed away.

"After the end of the battle of Tongtian, no matter what the result is, it is the day when the jihad begins!"

The Pope delivered an ultimatum.

After returning to his mansion, Zou Liang locked himself up. Avril and others didn’t understand why Zou Liang wanted to trouble the Ficklow family. In fact, he should keep a low profile at this time, but judging from the meeting of the Elders’ Council, it seemed that he had already won. However, there has been a bit of turmoil recently. There are many soldiers on the street, and a different atmosphere is brewing in the entire imperial capital.

Zou Liang was also thinking about it, and he also sorted out a thought. Except for the matter of the Tongtian Realm, the Pope did not give him clear instructions. Indeed, apart from a prophecy, Zou Liang can't be expected to do anything.

But he can still do a lot of things. The premise is that it is clear that the pope did not prohibit him from spreading the word, nor did he allow him to spread it. Obviously, he let Zou Liang handle it according to his discretion, hoping to bring some good changes to the holy war.

Snow Maiden is another card. Among other things, she is fighting against the other Three Demon Kings. If Xue Nu can help, it will be a great help, but Zou Liang is not sure whether Xue Nu will help, but at least one enemy is missing, which is still very confident.

Dolan City might become a breakthrough point. If he were the Pope, he would definitely be thinking about defense instead of offense, but judging from the current arrangements of the Pope, it seems that he is thinking about offense.

Thinking about it, as the holy Holy See, issuing a holy war is an attack, how can you be passively beaten, but the comparison of strength is very unrealistic. Now I don’t know what kind of strength the so-called inner court has. The twelve dark gold peak knights are indeed very cool, but this alone is not enough.

Back then, the Holy See was invincible, not just relying on one or two top powerhouses, the surging golden legion was the root cause.

But the opponents are different. The terrifying monsters back then have been replaced by the orc army, and they are all weakened. We can only see who is weaker.

The Pope has the Pope's difficulties. Even if these words were told to the Nicholas family, they would take them as a joke. There is no fluke in power.

But Zou Liang wants to influence the people around him as much as possible, at least let them make the right decision.

Obviously, the nearest imperial capital will be full of wind and clouds.
