The Great Conqueror

Chapter 574: Situation in the Imperial Capital

After shutting himself up for a long time, Zou Liang finally figured out that Duolan City needs to be prepared, and fortunately, he was also prepared.

"Brother, what happened?" Avril was also a little anxious.

"Weiwei, this matter is a bit serious. It concerns the entire empire. To put it simply, the Holy See has power, and there may be a big war in the future. We must plan ahead."

Zou Liang said.

Avril Lavigne was not particularly surprised, her expression was quite calm, "Brother, I will do whatever you say. If there is an imminent war, supplies will become extremely important."

"So, your main task recently is to get the stock of the Jackman family, eat as much as you can, and we will use it in the future!"

"...We can't use that much, can we?"

Avril was stunned for a moment.

"Hehe, not only us, but also the Holy See."

Zou Liang said, this is probably the Pope's headache. In the past, the whole country could be mobilized with just a word from the Pope, and they could get what they wanted, but now they are everywhere.

He can't sit idly by, he always needs something more, whether it's fighting the orcs or the monster race, food and grass are the most important thing, nothing to mention without logistics.

Maybe it doesn't matter to ordinary orcs in other empires, but the war is bound to happen.

"Wait, find a way to buy more food from other empires through channels. The conditions are easy to negotiate, even if they want to rent the miraculous land in Dolan City."

Zou Liang said.

Those who trade with them must be civilians, and usually there is nothing, but once a war breaks out, the Kingdom of the Wind and the Saron Empire will suffer a bit. As for Hannibal, this matter is really troublesome, and Zou Liang didn’t think about what to say to the old ghost. Fortunately, Hannibal is not controlled by the demon clan, otherwise Meng Jia would be dead. Just look at Hannibal’s national strength.

"Brother, the opportunity is actually quite good now. My news network has heard that the Jackman family is very panicked. I think they will visit you in the near future. I don't think it will cost us much to eat up their inventory. If we can give them some benefits in Dolan City, they will even be more grateful, but I'm not sure if they also know the news."

"Nerbero also knows this news. As for whether it will reach the Jackman family, I don't know. However, the Jackman family who has just been put together may not believe it. It doesn't matter if it can happen or not. I think the Pope will definitely have a way."

Zou Liang said that he doesn't have to worry about things beyond his ability.

At this time, the butler knocked on the door, and Ritter came in, "My lord, miss, there are people from the Gabriel family, please come over, my lord."

Avril looked at Zou Liang, Zou Liangliang nodded, "Just tell him, I'll be there in a while."

Obviously Master Bixiu can't sit still, Gabriel's popularity is not very good, the problem of arrogance is common, although the strength is strong enough, it is really difficult to infiltrate at this time.

Of course, Zou Liang hoped that Bixiu and the Gabriel family would stand by him at this critical moment. This time he had to go, and it was just right for Bixiu to invite him.

Sitting in the carriage, Zou Liang felt the tense atmosphere in the imperial capital, quietly thinking about what to say. Since the Pope mentioned the monster clan in front of Nebero, he probably didn't intend to hide it.

The Feklo family was completely baffled. Fifty million gold coins, where did they get them out in a short while, and the entire imperial capital’s property was seized. In fact, if they really wanted to give the Fikelo family time, they would definitely get it out, but the Pope was just making use of it. Over the years, the Fikelo family has accumulated countless wealth with the Nicholas family through various means.

It also makes sense to choose Ficklow. After all, the Nicholas family is more troublesome, and the Pope is also taking it step by step. The Holy See’s power collection this time is not for internal struggles, but for holy wars. The unity of the major families is what the Pope wants to see. Otherwise, this time it will not only target Lavandun Ficklow, but the entire Ficklow family.

To complete the unification of Mengjia at the least cost. Of course, it is one thing for the Holy See to show its strength. The other point is to see how far Nebello can do it.

The Jackman family was taken aback by such a major blow to the Ficklow family. Obviously, they had touched the bottom line of the Holy See. The main reason is that the Holy See has been too weak these years, so that these people have forgotten what the Holy See is like. Otherwise, they would not dare to seize Dolan City with their courage.

It's only now that it's too late.

The Ficklow family has been punished, who will be next?

The family meeting of the Jackman family is still in progress, and they are obviously discussing a final idea.

Lolita was also among them, seeing her relatives quarreling one by one, she couldn't listen to it for some reason, and she knew why it was so in the first place.

She suddenly thought of what Arthur had told her, that it might be better if the Jackman family could stop in time.

It's a pity that she didn't understand it at that time. Even if she understood it, it was useless. In the eyes of these people, probably nothing is more important than wealth and status, and she is just a pawn, a useful pawn.

In fact, Lolita didn't have to think about it at all. In the end, it would definitely fall on her, because only she and Arthur had the best relationship and could talk. Even if she surrendered, she had to send a suitable person.

Undoubtedly, she was the most suitable, and Lolita felt a little disgusted at the glances of those relatives who glanced over from time to time.

Finally, the meeting reached a consensus, and it really fell to Lolita.

When Zou Liang came back from Aurisia, it was dark again. He hadn't slept for two days and one night, but Zou Liang's condition was still very good. This situation was nothing to him. After the shock period, what he was thinking about now was how to deal with it.

Lord Bixiu’s attitude is very good, but it made Zou Shengun a little uncomfortable. Talking with Bixiu, you still have to come to strong medicine. The monster clan is illusory to most people, but such a big family has more or less the background of the jihad back then. What they need to judge now is whether the jihad is real?

Or is it just that the pope found an excuse to seize power.

In the past, the demon king could be seen and touched, but now he has become the king of other empires. It sounds like a story no matter how it sounds.

At this juncture, a choice must be made.

Bixiu didn't give him a clear answer, and Zou Liang didn't say anything. He believed that Bixiu would make the right choice, because Auricia had also met Xuenv, and Aiolia had the aura of the Thunder Demon King.

Meng Jia must be prepared in advance, and it will be too late when things come to an end.

The atmosphere of the Nicholas family is also very heavy. The strong takeover of power by the Holy See means that the glorious era of the Nicholas family will come to an end.

Over the past few hundred years, the Pope has changed one after another, and the Archon has changed one after another, but there is only one Nicholas family.

No matter who has the upper hand, the Nicholas family can always obtain their own interests, but now, the Holy See wants to completely break all this, and the method is quite rough and blunt, without any technical content.

The Nicholas family naturally had to make a choice. At their level, it didn't matter what the Pope said was true or false. What mattered was whether they were willing to give up power.

Sanchez family.

In the past fifty years, the most glorious family in the empire, because the family produced an outstanding archon, and the genius Nebello.

Compared with other family factions, in the Sanchez family, only the Grand Consul and his son have the power to make decisions.

There was no noise, no discussion, the two had to make a decision.

Whether they support the Pope or oppose the Pope, their attitude will determine Mengjia's direction, and if they fail, they may even start a war.

Sanchez looked at Nebello, and the father and son didn't say a word for a whole day.

Sanchez looked at the sky outside, "What do you think?"

The hope of the family does not rest on him, and he is at the end of his career as the Grand Consul. All hope lies on Nebero, so Sanchez respects his son's thoughts very much.

"The monster race... is real."

Nebello said.

"How did you see that?"

"This is what I have known about the Pope for many years. This time it is indeed for the holy war. The Holy See's forbearance these years is also for the holy war. The twelve holy war knights who appeared this time are just a part of the power of the inner court. Since it is so well hidden under our noses, if the Holy See really wants to do it, don't wait until now, and don't need to use such drastic tactics."

Nebello said slowly.

Sanchez nodded, "Even if it is true, the focus is on the interests of the family and your future."

Nebello smiled, "Father, this is an opportunity."

"How to say?"

"Through my many years of understanding, looking through the historical materials of previous popes, and observing the pope, I think that the magical power of the Holy See still exists, but excessive use of power will cost you your life. That is to say, in this holy war, the pope is determined to die. If the war is won, he will definitely elect a new pope. The new pope is undoubtedly the most influential person in the war.

Nebello smiled.

This battle involves the Beast God Continent. Even if the victor can't have everything, his reputation will be spread far and wide, and his influence will last for a long time.

Similarly, the loser will lose a lot. It can be said that this battle will determine many, many things.

Sanchez smiled, and only his son can still see the opportunity at this time.

"How sure are you?"

"If it were peacetime, I would still have quite a few opponents. A group of shamans would be eyeing them. Even if I got the position of pope, it would be a troublesome position. Holy wars are indeed good. There is only one opponent at this time, and that is Arthur Hebrew."

Sanchez frowned, "He, that little Bill, he is just the high priest in red, what can he do?"

"Hehe, father, the war has begun. As the high priest in red, you can do a lot of things, as long as the Pope has the heart."

Nebello said, "What's more, he really has two tricks."

"According to what you're saying, Arthur will be the biggest beneficiary once the jihad is successful?"

Nebello didn't answer directly, "Think about it, sitting in the city of miracles, with the support of Subaru shaman, Odonna, Bixiu, and the ranks of the apostles, you can no longer use the energy of a red-clothed priest to look at it."
