My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu
Chapter 272 Discussion
Croun sat upright. After the Golden Light Spell advanced again, his spiritual sense became even sharper, unlike others.
In his 'world', everyone's soul light is different, and those subtle differences are as obvious to him as burning cigarette butts in the dark night.
The Pope's soul light was the most powerful among all present, and those spiritual lights that did not exist in sight were suppressed by the Pope's soul light.
But he noticed a discordant ups and downs in the pope's soul light, like a mouse running under the sheets. This puzzled him, and he lowered his head to think about the cause of this feeling.
Flanders described everything that happened in the Andes, and finally concluded:
"I personally took an airship to the gathering place of cultists and observed that although these cultists were deformed and ugly by the evil power, their fighting power was not weakened, but became stronger.
Their strength is slightly better than that of normal extraordinary beings of the same level, and they also have a numerical advantage over the Rhine City Parish.
Lorent Town also involves a lot of our troops, and we need a lot of support. Otherwise, it will be difficult to resist the attacks of the cultists with just the strength of one of our parishes. Their number is still increasing. There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 extraordinary people. . "
There was some doubt in Drago's tone: "The cultists in the Andes should be the primitive tribes that believed in the evil god Haka and were expelled thousands of years ago. How could they still be so strong after thousands of sieges and killings? !”
After the last holy war, each church spared no effort to hunt down the tribes that had surrendered to the evil god in their territory. Although the intensity of the pursuit was greatly reduced as time went by, this fatwa was never canceled and every pope would urge them.
Especially after the red moon vision, this order was implemented even more thoroughly. Except for some extremely remote areas, there was no place for cultists to survive.
Flanders said calmly: "This is indeed the case. His Majesty the Pope can send an envoy to verify the authenticity of the matter.
I suspect that these cultists have made contact with the Evil God's Familia, and they have been transformed in large numbers in ways we don't know about.
Because the cultists I saw can no longer be called human beings, but another form of life. "
"I was just surprised. I didn't suspect that there would be any problem with Mr. Flender's information."
Drago argued that this kind of important military information must be verified, so the other party cannot just talk nonsense.
Osman's eyes were much sharper. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slowly:
"I will send capable personnel to the Rhine City Diocese. If the number of cultists continues to increase, then we will face a war.
But you need to find the reason why the number of cultists keeps increasing, and you cannot fall into a continuous war of attrition. "
Large-scale wars consume very serious supplies, and it is not easy to start a war. The purpose of storing supplies as much as possible now is to contribute to the final decisive battle with the evil god.
As the Pope, he doesn't like Flanders and others' view that "only by uniting everyone can we finally defeat the evil god", because ordinary people have little role in the frontal battlefield and will only become the playthings of the evil god. Those extraordinary people who do not accept the direct leadership of the church Power may become a hidden danger.
However, if the church faces threats from the forces of evil gods, he will not care about these internal frictions and will unite to fight against external enemies.
Flanders frowned and sighed: "This is a bit difficult. We have to go deep into the Andes Mountains, where the concentration of gray fog is much denser than in other areas.
Even on a clear day, there is gray mist floating in the shadows on the ground. We have reason to suspect that there may be a source of gray fog deep in the Andes. "
He explained in detail the information he had observed so far, and everyone's expressions became more solemn.
Archbishop Ahe asked: "Is it possible that the gray mist blew in from the ocean along some secret passage? According to records, those evil cities have sunk in the ocean."
"It's possible, but we won't know the truth until the Andes are surveyed from all angles.
I have ordered the engineers of the Rhine City Strange Object Manufacturing Association to modify the airship to be able to adapt to the high-altitude environment. This will take time. "
Flender revealed his plan, and it was obvious that this plan would not bear fruit in a short time.
Osman said with a tone that could not be questioned: "Under your suggestion, the Brotherhood forces in Rhine City and the royal government departments are very comfortable, so they also have to send elites to participate in the war."
This is also an opportunity to suppress the forces with different opinions. How could he give up.
"Your Majesty, I understand. I am going to hold a war mobilization meeting immediately when I return to Rhine City. All humans in the Rhine City Diocese must be aware of participating in the war."
Flanders would not refuse this order. His idea of uniting everyone was to deal with today's situation.
He paused, looked directly at the Pope, and asked, "How many troops will the church send to reinforce us?"
This is the main purpose of coming to the Holy See. With only the Rhine City Diocese, even if the victory is achieved, it will be a tragic victory, and it is based on the situation of suppressing all the belongings.
If all the family wealth is consumed, then the Rhine City Diocese will exist in name only. An archbishop without subordinate troops is not what he wants.
“I will send an investigation team to the Rhine City Parish this afternoon to compile information on the enemy.
When clear information comes in, we will discuss the reinforcement plan.
You should stay in the Holy See for a while. According to past experience, heavy snow is coming soon. Marching and fighting in this kind of weather is courting death. We have a winter to prepare. "
Osman did not continue the topic and asked: "How is the situation in Llorente Town?"
Lorent Town is the only area in the Farouk Kingdom that is connected to the ocean, and it cannot be missed.
"The current situation is good, but the whispers of the evil god have appeared, and the third-level transcendent can already feel the pollution, and the troops must be rotated.
The intensity of the fighting there was not low, and many of our troops were tied down. If it falls into the quagmire of a two-front war, it will not only be very detrimental to the Rhineland Diocese, but also a blow to the entire church. "
The Rhine City Diocese is one of the five major dioceses in the Farouk Kingdom, and its troops are at the forefront of the entire church. If they are hit hard, the church's war potential will be greatly reduced.
“I understand that it is impossible to leave the Rhineland Diocese alone.
Now, the situation on the entire continent is not optimistic. A few days ago, I received a letter asking for help from the Storm Lord Church. There have been holes in the coastal defense line of the Kingdom of Cintra, and a large number of evil fishmen have launched an attack inland.
If the Hinterland Kingdom cannot defend itself against the Evil God's Familiar's offensive, it will not be good news for us.
I am considering whether to send an army to reinforce them, even if it is just a pretense, they must at least persist until the kingdom of gods comes to the material plane. "
The Kingdom of Sintra is southeast of Faruk, and the two countries have large areas of bordering territory.
Archbishop Martin said: "The Kingdom of Ribia also borders the Hinterlands, and the terrain between them is flatter. Let the Church of the God of Knowledge have a headache.
It was only at the end of the last holy war that the evil forces invaded the Farouk Kingdom. Now that it has appeared so early, we are under great pressure. "
What he meant was to deal with the internal war situation within the church first, and then support others when there was more energy left.
Soon it was noon, the meeting was suspended, and Flanders and his party left first.
Ah asked: "Your Majesty, if the situation in Rhine City is really as Flanders said, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Osman looked at the archbishop who asked the question calmly and asked, "What do you think?"
"Hey," Ah He scratched his head and lowered his voice:
"I think the best way is to support supplies first, and then invest in reinforcements after Rhine City has consumed a number of effective forces."
He could see that the Pope didn't like Flanders, and by saying so, he was playing into his favour.
Drago said: "Now that the Cardinal Assistant Group has been established, the other party has six votes. I'm afraid the final decision is not in our hands."
"I know this situation, but we can start from the reinforcements and try to send out non-elite troops."
Osman shook his head slightly and said:
"If the investigation team reports that the situation is true, I will order the dispatch of elite troops to the dioceses near the Rhine City for reinforcements, and I will also deploy elite troops from the dioceses for reinforcements."
Ah He was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and said: "Wonderful, Your Majesty."
Among the dioceses adjacent to the Rhine City, there are the Diocese of Branden and the Diocese of Kronborg. The archbishops of these two dioceses are also from the Flemish line. Let them send troops to achieve multiple goals with one stone.
Everyone dispatched elite troops, but the Flanders group still consumed the most.
If the war descends into a war of attrition, rifts may develop between these bishops.
Although they are all silver powerhouses, if their respective parishes do not have an elite force, the weight of their words will be reduced.
Drago couldn't help but nod his head in praise: "Your Majesty is still more skilled, I admire you."
After a while, Osman said:
"The meeting will continue in the afternoon, so you can go have lunch and rest."
"Resign, Your Majesty."
The two archbishops bowed and left. The pope asked softly:
"Sako, what do you think of this idea?"
A vague shadow appeared behind him, it was the leader of the secret guard.
“I think it’s good that no matter how the war develops, the Rhineland Parish must suffer the greatest casualties.
However, in recent years, those mortals have indeed created a variety of weapons that were difficult to imagine before. If the enemy was only flesh and blood, they would deal with it much easier. "
Osman didn't speak, just smiled flatly.
If the enemy you are facing can really convert a large number of cultists, there will definitely be the followers of the evil god who can affect the spirit.
There is a lot of information in the church that is not open to the archbishop. Those records do not whitewash the church, but completely record all the evil gods and their dependents that have ever appeared.
The power of the evil god exceeded everyone's imagination, and the price paid by the gods of the church was staggering.
Only the Pope can read these messages, and if the news spreads, most people may despair.
"call"
Osman slowly exhaled and asked again:
"Have any good news returned from the secret guards sent to Ribia?"
"Not at the moment. The secret guards have privately contacted the contacts who have not had the mutation, and the answer they received is that the knowledge gained cannot be expressed verbally or written down in writing, as if the current world cannot bear it.
In addition, the strange man in yellow robe appeared without any pattern or sign, so I doubt it."
Sako did not continue speaking, and lowered his head a little lower.
"What do you suspect?"
After a while, Sacco spoke:
"I suspect that this weirdo is also a descendant of the evil god. This evil god masters a special law that we don't know, so he can appear or disappear without warning."
I don't care what he is, as long as it can complement my origin and let me go further, otherwise, what does this prosperous age of being able to advance to the golden level of Stigma have to do with me?
Even if this weirdo is the incarnation of the evil god, but he appears during this period, then I am sure to resolve the pollution caused by him.
My strength is close to the peak of a fourth-level transcendent. Coupled with the church's foundation, I will definitely be able to create the most advanced purification circle.
If I can't advance to become a fifth-level transcendent, my lifespan will only be a few decades, and I won't accept it.
Osman did not speak, but thought a lot in his mind, and finally said slowly: "Let the secret guards continue to pay attention to this incident, and send more secret guards to Ribia."
For him, this is an attempt, and he is not afraid of losing because he thinks he can afford to lose.
. . . .
At lunch, it was Theo who entertained everyone as usual.
The food here is richer than in Rhine City. Kroun tasted it, but found that it did not exceed his cooking skills, and shook his head slightly.
Theo observed that the archbishops had put down their knives and forks, and immediately stood up:
"Your Excellencies, please come with me to the guest room to rest for a while."
Facing a group of extraordinary beings, his spiritual sense was under great pressure. He sighed in his heart: 'It is so stressful to face the powerful men of silver rank now. If you face the gods directly, will you be crushed to death by the pressure? ’
Flanders also stood up: "Lead the way."
It's still early for the afternoon meeting, so it's a good choice to go to the guest room to rest and discuss things.
Everyone followed Theo and came to the guest room after many twists and turns.
"Your Excellencies, this floor has the best guest rooms. You can choose as you like. You should rest first. If you need anything, you can call the nuns."
Everyone else went to choose guest rooms, but Kroun didn't move.
Theo leaned forward: "Sir, do you need anything else?"
Kroun took out a few pieces of broken jade and handed them to the other party:
"Have you ever seen a stone similar to this in Bly City? I'm looking for a jade that's yellow in color and feels warm to the touch."
These jade fragments are high-quality cold jade fragments, and what he is looking for is warm jade.
Theo took the jade and inspected it carefully before returning it:
"Sir, this kind of stone is very beautiful, but it is rare here. I have heard that this kind of stone is only produced in countries with hotter temperatures in the south.
I have seen the kind of stone you are talking about. It was brought from Sintra by a chamber of commerce. I can help you contact that chamber of commerce. "
Crown smiled and patted the other party's shoulder affectionately:
"Excuse me, I like stones like this very much, so I want to find more."
