"Father Alexander, what should we... do now?"
The conference room had become quite noisy. Church members from the Principality of West Asia, dressed in black robes, gathered in a circle and were talking in low voices.
Father Alexander, who had appeared in the mirror, frowned: "Are you sure that the holy beast appeared in that mirror?"
"Sure, just before the Grand Duke disappears." One person nodded affirmatively.
Alexander bit his lips, which were already as thin as a knife, and frowned.
What a bunch of rubbish Gascón raised!
It doesn't matter if they reveal their church identity. Anyway, a group of orphans can be labeled as traitors at any time.
But they actually spit out something as important as a holy beast? Was Gascón crazy enough to hand this stuff over to them?
"I am afraid that the prisoner who was brought in yesterday was just to show that they are still alive." Another person, also wearing a priest's attire, said.
Alexander nodded, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said decisively:
"If anything is leaked, the Archduke's woman will definitely try her best to cause trouble with the church before she loses her power. If the holy beast is exposed in this situation, the church cannot bear such a loss."
He glanced sideways at the slowly rotating mirror outline in the center of the conference room and said coldly:
"Inform the leaders of the Fourth and Fifth Knights to take covert action and approach the Simeng people's ship!"
Naturally, Talis only had one boat at this time.
Starship.
The Knights of the State Church are the armed force of the Catholic Church in the Principality of West Asia.
"Holy Nail" Alexander, the leader of the Seventh National Religion Knights, had just set his sights on this ship.
…
On the other side of the conference room, the atmosphere was somewhat different.
Duan Qingzhu sat on the chair with a big belly and looked at Li Zai with gloating: "The Bronze Bird Seal is not your thing. No matter how dizzy your Highness is, you know it now. What are you going to do?"
Li Zai smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Don't ask me, I'm just a small lieutenant. The three of us are just chess pieces, let others play and that's it."
"Then what are you going to do with Tantai Fu?"
Liu Cheng, who was on the side, also asked with a smile: "The National Finance Department is now considered a cold palace, and the information is not well-informed. Or is it that Tantai Ming is already playing chess now?"
"Master Liu is joking. Everyone knows how sensitive the intelligence of the National Finance Division is. As for Tantai... they are both the same."
Li Zai shrugged his shoulders: "I want to know more about His Highness than this."
"What's up?"
"His Royal Highness has made so many tricks during this visit. You two must have your own opinions on such an abnormality."
Li Zai narrowed his eyes and looked at Duan Qingzhu: "As far as I know, the National Military Division has not made any arrangements yet. Could it be said that these are all given by the Imperial Concubine to His Highness on behalf of the Legal Division?"
Add rewards to construction sites, capture spies, and threaten negotiations.
These are obviously not things that His Highness's brain can do, so the most likely person is naturally Jiang Keyin.
Duan Qingzhu showed a funny smile and laughed loudly:
"Master Li is joking. Concubine Yin has no intention of getting involved in political affairs. She has been ill these past few days and is recuperating on the starship. You'd better go to the National Finance Department to take a guess."
When Li Zai heard this, he looked at Liu Cheng, who also smiled and replied: "Master Duan's remarks are biased. Could it be that Master Li just said that the military department has no arrangements, and he really took it all seriously?"
The few people joked and became quiet for a while, but ripples could not help but appear in their hearts.
We are not both enemies. If it is just a confrontation between the two, then it will be easy to push.
But the suspicion between the three departments is like seeing flowers in the fog, and the mystery continues in circles.
It just so happened that this Sansi, who was staring at the other two, had to stand in the same place when standing on the land of another country.
This is really amazing.
"Boy, there seems to be something strange over there."
In the silence, Liu Cheng suddenly spoke.
He was naturally referring to the people from the West Asia Principality Church on the other side of the conference room. After this group of people talked for a while, two people hurriedly walked out of the conference room, not knowing what they were going to do.
"Who will follow?" Duan Qingzhu said.
Liu Cheng shook his head: "You don't have to follow. What matters right now is just here and Xingzhou. Let's leave the two of us here."
"Then I'll go back to Starship."
Li Zai curled his lips: "Just try to avoid the limelight. When something happens, let me calm down. Maybe His Highness can let me go with the Bronze Bird Seal."

"Tell me, is there anything else I don't see?"
Tilda asked.
Han Dongwen swallowed, forced himself to stand up straight, and said, "What you haven't seen is that I am still standing in front of you now."
He raised his hand and pointed at the mirror: "Simeng has proof of such atrocities, and it is not an exaggeration to go into direct combat with you!"
"Meet in arms?"
Tilda raised her chin slightly, and her eyes showed a hint of chill: "Do you really think Simeng can fight with West Asia? As long as I am still the Grand Duke of West Asia, Simeng will never have a chance of winning!"
"good!"
Han Dongwen nodded, put his palms together lightly, and clapped his hands: "What a noble statement, worthy of Grand Duke Tilda, but Simeng and West Asia are at war, even if you dare to respond, I would like to know if Taka is willing See this situation!"
He raised his hand and waved it, opening his palm towards Prince Gao who was sitting beside him: "I would like to know, if you are not afraid of Simeng, do you not even take Taka seriously?"
The upper country of Taka, facing the dispute between two small countries that are vassal to itself and indirectly controlled by itself, naturally has no reason to encourage it.
If a small country falls into war, where will it be able to pay tribute? Where does the profit come from?
This is something that all children understand!
Tilda's body was trembling slightly with anger, and her chest was rising and falling slightly with her rapid breathing.
Suddenly, she spoke:
"what do you want?"
Han Dongwen's eyes were as bright as fire, and he took a step forward: "Tianying City will be returned to Simeng forever, and West Asia will not be allowed to get involved. In the remaining five cities in Bailan Mountain, Simeng people can come and do business, and citizens of West Asia must be inspected!"
"The annual tribute from the royal merchants will be reduced by half for one year. Taxes will be reduced or exempted for private business travelers. Trade in the five cities of Bailan Mountain will be under the control of Simeng!"
Tilda had a frosty face and replied coldly: "That's all?"
"I haven't thought of anything else yet!"
Han Dongwen said loudly, suddenly feeling that his momentum was a little weaker.
"Ah."
Tilda sneered and crossed her arms: "What if I don't agree? They might just be a group of gangsters who secretly learn the church's magic. This kind of thing may not happen."
Prince Zigao stood aside, stroking his chin with interest, observing the two of them.
When Tilda asked, he turned his head and looked at Han Dongwen.
"If so."
Han Dongwen suddenly smiled and spoke slowly and seriously:
"If this is the case, all the West Asian thieves captured by me in Simeng will be executed to death, and their corpses will be hung on the star boat and floated throughout the Talis area. When the star boat returns to Tianying City, the thieves will be beheaded and their bodies will be exposed on the city wall. Above, there is a hundred-mile river of blood, and the gate is open for all West Asian citizens who step into the Simeng border to pay their respects!"
"You want Sky Eagle City? I will send it to you, along with dozens of corpses on this star boat, and the overwhelming resentment of Simeng people all over the city!"
"Do you want to get up?!"
