[Sub-quest "Unburned will be extinguished": reduce the approval rate of High Priest Mori to less than 5% - completed] Charles finally crossed the reminder of the completion of the side quest.

It's really not easy. Unexpectedly, it has been so long since Mori was kicked out by the high priests of Sassampos. His support can always be kept above 5%. At that time, Charles knew the significance of this side mission.

Murray was able to attack Constantinople from the territory of Sassanid Persia in a few days, with just three-digit casualties... This is not just a matter of the northern army being transferred to defend the Franks. Only half of the defenders. It's also impossible to not even hinder Mori.

Charles looked through the battles between the Goths and the Persians in the past ten years, trying to analyze the general strategic policy of the Persians, and find out what they wanted.

Based on the analysis of the data provided by Baimon, the Persians have at least five chances to push the entire Gothic East, at least to Constantinople. But they stopped attacking each time after occupying the Euphrates.

Conversely, it's always odd when Goth wins. They defeated the Persian army, but did not wipe out the most dangerous priests in Persia, but kept them as captives and sold them to the decisiveness of the Stone King, which is impossible. He would definitely know that every time a living Persian priest goes to the battlefield, it is at least equal to more than twenty dead Gothic soldiers.

However, it was very difficult to train Persian priests. Except for a few cases like Mori, other priests need their parents to be priests, know at least three languages, be able to read the complete book of Avesta aloud, and recite the scriptures of the seventy-two chapters of "Yasna", And achieve at least "professional" level or above in one subject.

That's right, they understand learning, just for "learning" and "research", to exercise their minds and avoid the curse of ignorance that haunts their hearts. Wouldn't really do that kind of work. Because the priests don't need to work at all, they only need to constantly temper their minds, study knowledge, and manage some bachelors assigned to them; or when necessary, the high priests send them to assist in the battle while supervising the battle. And at the level of the high priest, they are complete scholars. If they didn't make any serious mistakes, they wouldn't even be forced to send Li to the battlefield by the Holy King. It was equivalent to gaining complete freedom, and they could do whatever they wanted. Except that Yiri is subject to the Holy King, they are more relaxed and free than the Marquis of other countries. Then, here comes the strange place.

Stone King after winning. However, after three quarrels with the captured high priest, he was brutally killed. But when he captured the Xitong priests, he sold them back directly without killing anyone. On the record, he declares that this was done to destabilize the Persian regime, and to earn ransom to subsidize wasted war supplies, or to pay out consolation and victory bounties.

General Gothic may have seen a lot, or he may not know the situation in Persia, and he doesn't feel that something is wrong.

But Charles, who knew the political structure in Persia, saw the problem at a glance. A fact that was deliberately ignored was the life and death of the high priest. It will not affect the stability of the Persian political situation at all. On the contrary, the ordinary priests are responsible for managing local politics, while the major priests are more often used to supervise the sacred power of the holy king.

No matter how many high priests die, the political situation in Persia will not be turbulent. On the contrary, it will become more stable.

So Charles had a vague guess. Or... the war between Goths and Persia was actually a tacit understanding between the two sides? For example. Use the hands of the opponent to get rid of some troublesome people and the like... In this way, the task of "the last flame will be extinguished" may be about this. For example, the actual combat power of the Persians has long surpassed that of the Gothic army, but only Mori, the only son of the Holy King, knows this secret.

But no matter what kind of comeback skills Zhenli has, what kind of plans he has made, it is useless until now. Charles stood outside the city, looking at the burning city of Constantine under the night, showing a very gentle and friendly smile.

After realizing the danger of Morrie, Charles decided not to give Morrie any chance—in order to avoid the eyeliner that the Persians might set up, he chose to start from the waterway. And use Asmodeus to hold the fields of wilderness and ocean, and is the demon **** who learns to control beasts, poisonous oceans and barrenness. With the blessing of Charles' psychic power today, his magical range can already cover the entire army. At the same time, Charles still maintains his own psychic characteristics, maintaining the state of soldiers and horses without hunger, thirst, sleep, and rest all day long, just directly at sea. From Rome to Constantinople. After lowering down to Morrie's hideout, he didn't choose to send a letter to Morrie, or use scheming on his soldiers or something... After making sure that the area in the center of the city was almost free of yellow names, Charles went to Very simply, the poisonous wind of the underworld was swept up, and all the scouts who were keeping watch outside the city were killed. They also sent Yastalu and Floros to guard the other two exits, leaving only one way out at the south gate. But the south is not far away and leads directly to the sea. Even if you want to run...you have to have relevant survival skills.

after. He began to destroy the walls of Constantinople. There is no wood sandwich, and all bets are accidental damage to the schist wall. In less than an hour, six steam blasting cars made a whole row of holes in the wall. Because the hole was too close and even directly destroyed the wall, a small piece of the city wall collapsed directly. And to Charles' delight, after the city walls were destroyed. Those red names began to spontaneously gather towards the money office. It would be better to say that this is better - there is no need to turn to street fighting, and there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring Gothic civilians.

So after that, the twelve catapults in front of Charles began to throw primitive grenades into the city without interruption. The wine point is decided by Charles himself-those red names hidden in strange places are out of place in Charles' eyes. The makeshift ramparts the Persians had piled up with chariots meant nothing. Howitzers go around the defense. Exploded directly in their formation. Obviously already occupying an absolute advantage, and still launching a surprise attack at 3:30 in the morning, but still advancing steadily and slowly.

The infantry on both sides did not even engage head-on. What Charles' soldiers were responsible for was simply to control all the ambush points where people could hide. In addition to the trebuchets that guarded the city slowly advancing towards the city, it was the infinite bombing of the trebuchets. The four groups of technicians and field workers took turns to rest, and they couldn't strike accurately at the beginning, but as the number of attacks increased. The landing point also began to become more precise. From more than four o'clock in the morning, until the sky is bright. Charles finally stopped the bombing. The ammunition they brought took three full truckloads of ammunition. Almost all of them were kicked out. After the bombing subsided, the generals under Charles almost no longer dared to look up at him. Their eyes were filled with awe and indelible fear.

When had they seen such a cruel and exaggerated way of war? ! Howling and roaring from the very beginning. Then the sound gradually subsided. Not even half an hour. At this time, as long as the infantry rush in and surround them, it will take less than half a day to easily capture the rest of them. But after that, Charles continued to pour more than twice as many attacks on it... Only then did they suddenly realize that in the previous war with the Goths, King Solomon really kept his hand...

"Next, let me meet the High Priest Zhenli for a while.

Charles said in a calm tone: "I hope he still has the strength to speak and answer some doubts for me.
