Todd flipped through the pamphlet in his hand, which recorded in detail the high-level list of the church army and recent actions.

Turning to one of the pages, Todd's hand stopped.

"Who is this Katili?"

Yabel replied: "Katiri is the southern connector for this weapon purchase. I heard that this person has a close relationship with the Imperial Army team."

"What kind of person is he"

Abel pondered for a moment, and then said: "This man obviously comes from the southern empire, but he has the face of a man from the northern plains. Whether he speaks or acts, he doesn't look like a soldier, but a little like a desolate nobleman. No matter when and where, he always wears thick clothes with a lingering smell of strong perfume."

"Katili Katili."

Todd recalled it carefully, and the name didn't remember much in his mind.

Just waiting to ask more questions, Evie walked to Todd's side, leaned over to the latter's ear, and said softly, "The Great Commander of the Musi Knights is back."

Todd paused, then turned his head and asked, "Is Cumberland alone?"

Evie curled her lips and said in a lower voice: "The queen of the holy city is also here."

Todd nodded, indicating that he knew it, turned his head and said to Aberle: "I know the situation, and I will let the Prime Minister of the Kingdom confirm with you for the details."

Knowing that the king wanted to leave, Abel lowered his head and leaned back slightly.

Todd got up from his seat, turned and walked into the back passage of the hall.

Evie walked out and raised her eyebrows and asked: "Who are you going to see first?"

Todd squinted her. "Of course it's Cumberland."

Evie shrugged: "Cumberland is in the King's Audience Room, and Mary is in the bedroom. I'm just worried that you are going in the wrong direction."

Todd shook his head helplessly, followed the corridor stairs, stepped onto the second floor of the palace hall, opened the door and walked into the king's audience room.

Cumberland, wearing a armor, didn't even have time to wipe off the dust on his body, just like a javelin, standing in the room of the audience room.

At Cumberland's age, if placed in another world, he would already be regarded as an elderly man.

But whether in words or deeds or behavior, he still gives people an indescribable majesty and tenacity.

"His Majesty."

Cumberland gave a simple military salute to Todd, and then laid a pile of reports and letters on the table in the audience room.

"The situation on the eastern border is not very good, perhaps it should be said that it is very bad. The kingdoms that support the Protestant Church and the Heavenly Father Church have been divided into two forces that are incompatible with fire and water."

Pointing to the dense red crosses on the map, Cumberland said in a deep voice: "Graham, Gonzano, and every parish of Far Lake have become battlefields. Fire and smoke can be seen everywhere on the earth."

"The children of the Knights, even eat and sleep every day, in order to save another village and kill a few more offensives."

"Last week, the Principality of Queconaville was captured by mobs overnight due to the distance being too far, and the family of the Protestant prince was stripped naked, cut off his limbs, and hung upside down on a tree with his abdomen. The cross wound was cut open and all the internal organs were hollowed out."

Cumberland became more and more hot, tapping the desktop with his palm: "Your Majesty, it can't go on like this."

Todd flipped through the document and reached out to stop Cumberland’s roar: “I met with the Cardinal of Heavenly Father’s Church today, and he brought a consecration document.”

Cumberland was taken aback: "Ordination Document"

"They hope to unite the Protestant Church with the Heavenly Father Church and elect me as the new Pope."

Cumberland was a little confused: "Why?"

It took Todd a few minutes to give a brief introduction to Cumberland about the factional struggle within Heavenly Father’s Church.

The latter reacted quickly: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity."

"I understand that if everything is as the cardinal said, then this is the best time to settle religious disputes once and for all."

Cumberland rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "I'll go back and start preparing my arms and counting the soldiers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cumberland turned around and walked to the door. When his hand just touched the handle, he stopped again.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

Cumberland turned around slowly, the expression on his face somewhat subtle.

Todd asked strangely: "What's the matter?"

Cumberland's face showed a rare hesitation: "Your Majesty, I don't like to talk around. I want to ask whether the Twilight Knights have lost their value to you."

Todd looked at the old knight in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

Cumberland sighed: "In the north, you have established the Crusades. These alien soldiers, who are no longer humans, are better than the knights in combat ability. My men often tell me that your majesty values ​​these. The Holy Order, the Knights have come to an end~lightnovelpub.net~ Todd frowned and did not interrupt Cumberland's speech.

"There are many members of the Knights. It is said that the Holy Order Army is the servant of the gods and can enter the kingdom of heaven after death. In order to have a good home after death, they either forcibly leave, or leave without saying goodbye, and give up everything. I took a boat to the north to participate in the transformation ceremony."

Cumberland shook his head and said, "Especially those young people who yearn for the power and status of the Holy Cleric Army. Regardless of the opposition of their parents and the retention of their wives and children, they would rather sever ties with the family, give up all their wealth, and go to the north. Go for a transformation ritual. In their words, if you succeed, you will not only have unmatched power, but also become a member of the servants. Even if you fail, it will be fine. When the soul returns to heaven, There will always be a good home, not to be sent to **** to suffer."

After saying these words, Cumberland lowered his head, tiredness made the old man look a little older.

"Except for those strong-willed old people, the hearts of the Knights have gradually scattered. People no longer admire honor and responsibility, but instead pursue the power and immortality brought by foreign races."

Cumberland raised his head and looked at Todd: "Your Majesty, if you want to replace glory with faith, then I implore you, it seems that in the past, there is at least a suitable way out for the children of the Knights."

"As for me, I'm old. When I get up early in the morning, I can even hear the rusty noise between my bones. I'm used to being a human being. I don't want to see old wives and sons in heaven after I die. At that time, it looked like an alien, so it would be laughed at."

"Your Majesty, when the Knights are no longer needed, it's time for me to retire"

After saying these words, Cumberland paid a military salute to the king, and walked out of the king's audience room with heavy steps.
