After seeing olan off, Franklin returned to his office and saw zero standing in front of the plasma panel, which showed the topographic map of the western continent.
A striking line crosses the map. To the south of that line is the area occupied by the sea god group, including cage city. Zero's eyes fell to the north of the sign line, and he focused on Solon's territory with a kind of covetous look.
When Franklin came in, he didn't even look back, but said, "you've come just in time to see what our next goal should be."
"I'd like to know that you're going to fight all the way to Rome. In that case, Pope Paul won't agree?"
Zero smile: "of course not, so he has to push Solon out of office in terms of internal affairs before I enter Rome, so that he can have the capital to negotiate with me. Otherwise, he will worry that I will pretend to be true and take the throne of the king of the mainland. "
"Would you do that?"
"If Paul doesn't have that strength..." zero solemnly said: "I will!"
Franklin nodded and said, "then I'll be at ease."
"I thought you were going to say I'm going to turn back," he said
"That's just the idea of mediocrity. Which strong person doesn't conform to the situation and create the most favorable situation for himself. If he sticks to the so-called commitment, he will never reach the peak." The giant disdains to say that he is also a figure sitting at the peak of an era, so he is naturally qualified to say this.
"I don't think so far. I just feel sorry for the soldiers who died in the war if the order which is hard to restore is changed to the original state because of an incompetent Pope." Zero stall road.
Franklin did not continue to discuss this issue with him. The giant went to the plasma panel, and as his eyes swept, a huge finger fell to a certain point on the map. It was a city with the words "rock city" on its side: "if it was me, I would choose here."
"Just as I thought." Ling said with a smile: "the city of Bishi is located in the north, which is the key point of the whole north area. If we beat it down, it will be a strong alarm for both Solon and Paul. After that, Solon should be unable to help himself to fight with us? "
"That should not be wrong. But now it's winter, and there was a new snow yesterday. Now the road environment and radiation snow are not conducive to long-distance March. It's more than 2000 kilometers from us to the city of rock. By the time we arrive, many soldiers may have fallen ill. " Franklin frowned.
Zero patted him on the arm and said, "even if you think so, Solon will surely think that the three-month cold winter will be a truce, but I'll let him lose count. But you're right. Ordinary soldiers can't march in the snow. This time, let's go out to Trident. Ordinary soldiers will stay in the fortress and other bases for training. "
"If it's just a trident, I'm afraid it's hard to catch it?" Franklin worried.
Zero shook his head: "enough, such an environment is not good for us, and the soldiers of the knight order are no exception. I have calculated that under such conditions, their combat power will drop by 30%, or even more than half. What's more, I didn't plan to attack the city head-on. If I want to take down the rock city, I don't have to overthrow its walls. "
"Since you say so, do as you wish. What do you need me to prepare for you?"
"Mobilize the members of Trident and tell Haiwei that they have work to do. Give them two days to warm up and start in the morning "But I need you to stay. First of all, we need to make a quick decision in this siege. You are not good at speed, and the goal is too obvious. Secondly, I need someone to sit in the rear. Besides, his highness Paul has two places to realize the divine metaphor. Besides me, only you can command destiny. So it's up to you. "
Franklin had no objection, nodded and said, "I see."
While zero is planning to attack the city of rock, Solon is roaring angrily in the New Roman city thousands of miles away. Natov island is one of the three areas where his private army is stationed. But overnight, natov Island disappeared, and even the commander of the private army had no news. How could Sauron swallow this.
This morning, as soon as he woke up from his sleep, he got the news that he had lost contact with natov island. Since Paul claimed to have received a divine prophecy that day, indicating that natov island would be sent by heaven, Solon asked wessel to contact natov island once a day. The first three days were safe, but this morning, when wessel contacted the headquarters of the island, she couldn't get in touch.
So Solon immediately sent an investigation team, and soon got the news at noon that natov island had disappeared in the previous sea area, while the two large islands, which played a role of concealment, were divided into two parts by some destructive impact. According to the investigation of the colonial islands in the region and a precious video record, there was a strong light coming from the south that night, which went straight over three islands including natov Island, resulting in the sinking of natov island.That strong light, the intensity of light, the momentum of the vast, not ordinary weapons can do, even if it is Sauron's King Arthur, its equipped with cannons can not do this. After that, the video quickly spread in Rome, which confirmed Paul's parable. At one time, many people marched on the streets and called Paul the son.
Until now, the citizens of Rome are still around the square in front of the papal hall. Paul has been receiving them and once again issued another parable. He called on the island's residents and soldiers to leave as soon as possible, otherwise their lives would be in danger.
There is the example of natov island. At this time, almost no one would come forward to criticize Paul's statement. As a result, the news spread like a whirlwind in the towns under the control of Rome City, causing a great disturbance.
"Asshole!" Solon threw a delicate statue to the ground, even if it fell to pieces, it could not make his anger subside. There was a big fire burning in his chest. Solon wanted to go to the square now and tear Paul to pieces. He never thought that the docile sheep suddenly showed its fangs and bit him hard.
And it's very deep.
"How on earth did he do it?" Walking back and forth in the room, Solon kept repeating the question.
On one side, Weser whispered, "is it really... Divine metaphor?"
"Bullshit Sauron yelled, "you pig, do you believe this kind of deceiving people? If there was a God, he would have appeared long ago. Why did he come out to add a fire at this time. ISTA, Poseidon... Now it's Paul. There must be something I don't know about these three. It seems that I really belittle Paul. In this way, I'm afraid I pretended to be docile in the past. The purpose is for the present! "
"My Lord, don't let me..." wither made a decapitation.
Solon snorted: "he is winning the hearts of the people now. If I kill him at this time, do you want the old men of mendriza to seize the handle and rebel?"
"So we leave him alone?"
"Of course not." Sauron said coldly, "find some capable men and kill Paul quietly for me. Remember, they're going to die after this, but their family and relatives will get a large pension. "
"I know what to do."
