Ryan galloped along the boundless Rhine River. The Blood Demon King's head was rising and falling behind him, and his eyes were full of thoughts and despair.
The top leaders of the alliance refused to send troops to assist Daxia. Even though he was already in a high position and enjoying the popularity of thousands of people, he still felt unprecedentedly tired and powerless at this moment.
He wanted to take the knights to support Daxia.
But he didn't dare.
Most of the Knights and their families are within the Alliance.
It is both protection and weakness.
The top leaders of the alliance have made it clear that they will not send troops. If Ryan insists on going his own way, I am afraid that no one in the Knights will be willing to risk the death of their families and follow him to Daxia.
While walking, Ryan came to the front of the knights.
On a night when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying, everyone in the Knights looked at their leader with worried faces.
They saw the fatigue and despair on the leader's face.
Ryan opened his mouth to ask the knights for their opinion, but he hesitated and shut up in silence.
"Captain, we have to go to Vatican City for business."
Deputy Captain Qius reminded.
Looking at the deputy with a strong figure and silver-white holy armor in front of him, even though the two of them had a very close relationship in private, Ryan still could not open his mouth to ask Qius for his opinion.
"Well, let's go to Vatican City."
...
Vatican City.
Inside the church hall.
Looking at the head of the Blood Demon King in front of him, Red Archbishop Moby's eyes were very complicated, and he finally sighed silently.
Looking up, Moby was a little unwilling to allow Ryan to continue to take risks.
There are even times when he feels that this heroic knight leader is qualified to be the future of the alliance, rather than a waste like him who is increasingly physically declining.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
Different from the past, this time Moby personally made a cup of coffee, brought it to Ryan, and asked gently: "Your face is full of worries."
Ryan did not refuse Moby's kindness and nodded silently while drinking coffee.
"What's bothering you? Maybe I can help you."
Moby asked seemingly casually as he turned around to grind the coffee beans.
Ryan laughed, both mockingly and helplessly.
"Dear Cardinal Archbishop, you just need to continue assigning me restricted area tasks. You don't need to care about whether I am worried or not."
Moby's hand grinding coffee beans remained still in mid-air, and his pale face turned around. On that bloodless face, the two sunken eyes looked at Ryan helplessly.
"Ryan, I don't want us to be enemies, and it's not necessary."
"I don't mind spending a little time and effort if I can help you."
Ryan smiled: "Okay, don't you want to know what's on my mind? I'll tell you now!"
"I don't want to continue eradicating restricted areas in the west. I want to go east, to Daxia, and to join the war in the Hoh Xil Mountains!"
Ryan's tone was like a broken jar. He stood up irritably and walked around the hall. His anger was written on his face, and the carpet was wrinkled by walking.
"how!?"
Ryan looked at Moby fiercely.
"Let me tell you clearly, even if you send me a mission, I am not willing to go!"
"Hey, I'm so messed up. What can the respected red archbishop do to me? Do you want to use a helicopter to tie me to the Western restricted area?"
"Then come and tie me up!"
Ryan stretched out his hands, as if he was helpless, but his eyes were full of provocation.
Moby burst into laughter, shook his head and sighed: "Ryan, getting angry won't solve any problems. It can only make yourself depressed. You are so irrational."
"Haha, it doesn't hurt to stand and talk. Anyone can say sarcastic remarks that have nothing to do with you."
"Then you go to Daxia, no one can stop you."
"What's the use of going alone? Can I change the situation of the war?"
"Then you can take the Knights with you. Anyway, the Knights seem to be convinced by you now. If you want to take them to fight in Daxia, they shouldn't refuse."
"Yes! Even if they won't refuse, they will consider their families."
Ryan sat down at the door of the hall and sighed: "Moby, stop pretending to be a good guy. I know you want the Knights to belong to the church. You are eager to let me take the Knights out, and then the alliance will use their families to let If they become hostile to me and then extend an olive branch, they will most likely be swayed and join the church."
Hearing this, Moby burst into laughter again.
He never expected that Ryan, who seemed mature and steady, would actually have so many scenes in mind.
"You mean, the league's top leaders will use their families to blackmail them?" Moby held the coffee cup and slowly walked to the door of the hall. The bright sunshine still couldn't warm his bloodless face, but he calmly Give Lane directions.
"Perhaps, you can temporarily place all their families in the Vatican City under the protection of the church, and then you can take them and set off without any distractions."
Ryan raised his head and sneered: "What's the difference between handing it over to the church and handing it over to the top of the alliance? Wouldn't it be just in your will to hand it over to the church? You just have the leverage to blackmail the Knights."
This time, Moby lowered his head and stared at Ryan with a sincere and serious look.
Ryan still stared at Moby fiercely, his eyes full of distrust.
"Oh, Ryan, your hostility towards me is too obvious." Moby raised his head, slowly drank coffee, and said calmly: "Sooner or later, others will catch you and you will be killed. You need more More time, more human tempering.”
"Ryan, this is your only choice."
"Choose to believe me and move the Knights' families to Vatican City."
"I, Mobi, can guarantee that when you come back, everyone will be able to pick up their family members without any obstacles."
The bright sunshine shone on Moby's pale face. This time, Ryan seemed to notice the change in Moby. He was silent for a long time, like a statue.
.......
In the afternoon of the same day, all the families of the Knights moved to Vatican City.
Moby stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the main hall, and the cell phone in his hand kept making crazy noises.
The old man reminded helplessly: "Archbishop! What you are doing is equivalent to arm wrestling with the alliance's top brass! The families of those knights are protected by the alliance's troops. Now you are moving them to Vatican City without authorization. Many top leaders of the alliance are going crazy. Come ask for information!”
Moby raised his head and looked outside the Vatican City.
There, Ryan was leading the knights towards Daxia.
"Let's fight arm-in-arm." Moby murmured without looking back: "Even if the church doesn't have real power, the alliance's top leaders don't dare to do anything to us. After all, they still need the church to win over Western people."
"The Vatican City is in the West and has billions of believers."
"They are reluctant to part with it..."
