"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you must not attack the Bonaparte Empire! Today's Bonaparte Empire is no longer the Gallic tribe of the past!"
Cardinal Donatello stopped in front of Caesar and said loudly: "What's more, they are our allies!"
"ally?"
Caesar looked at Donatello calmly: "By allies, do you mean the Bonaparte Empire and the Roman Republic, or do you mean the Cult of Wisdom and the Cult of Plenty?"
"This..." Archbishop Donatello choked: "No matter what, Your Majesty, the current Roman Republic cannot defeat the Bonaparte Empire! Rome has lost its former glory, and Bonaparte The Empire and the Kingdom of Windsor are rapidly rising kingdoms! They are the ones who control the political landscape of various countries today!"
"Napoleon Bonaparte...I have read his information. The supreme emperor in the eyes of the Gauls conquered the land of Rome."
Caesar couldn't help but recall the era in which he lived. Before he took power and became a dictator, Pompey and Crassus were his biggest opponents, especially Pompey, who was known as the God of War. He was so prestigious that the Senate relied on him. For him, what's the result?
Pompey is dead, Crassus is dead, and the final winner is him, Gaius Caesar!
Although he also failed to have the last laugh and was assassinated by the Senate, at least he truly defeated his enemies. He was the winner who climbed out of the bloody storm!
Napoleon Bonaparte....
Just like Pompey at his peak, perhaps better, but Caesar was not afraid.
"Donatello, do you remember my other titles besides First Consul and Dictator?"
Donatello said without thinking: "Remember, Your Majesty, you are the Governor of Gaul."
"Yes, I am the Governor of Gaul." Caesar nodded and said: "I have conquered Gaul before, know the customs and customs there, and understand the importance of the Gaul region. If I want to compete in the world, I must conquer Gaul first!"
Today's era is no longer the ancient Roman period. During the ancient Roman period, the economic and cultural center was in the Rome-Greece area. Gaul and Germanic peoples were just desolate barbarians. When Rome was founded, Gaul and Germanic people were still playing tribes. Woolen cloth!
】
But the glory of the past has faded, and today's economic and cultural center is no longer the Roman-Greek region, but a barbarian region that was once regarded by the Romans as cruel, ferocious, and blood-drinking.
It was meaningless to conquer further east, so Caesar set his sights again on the Gaul region, that is, the Central Continent.
"As long as we can capture Gaul and unite with the Kingdom of Carlos in the west, we will firmly control the Mediterranean area. Not only can we vigorously develop our navy and compete with the Kingdom of Windsor for maritime supremacy, but we can also contain the Barbarossa Empire and the Austrian Empire. Trade exchanges between the Kingdom and other places..."
Caesar walked to the wall, pointed to the world map on the wall and said: "Gaul separates us from the Kingdom of Carlos, like a sharp arrow piercing the throat, making us unable to breathe, and the head and tail cannot be connected. We want to revitalize Rome." , we must conquer Gaul!"
"But Your Majesty, we cannot defeat the Bonaparte Empire now. A blind war will only allow the Romanov Kingdom in the north to take advantage!"
"Donatello, which one do you think is more important, the kingdom or the church?"
"Church." Donatello blurted out: "Don't you think so, Your Majesty? It was Serafina, the goddess of fertility, who resurrected you and gave you a second life..."
The corner of Caesar's mouth raised, revealing a profound smile, and said softly: "I also think the church is more important. After all, God has come, right? Divine authority is above the royal authority."
"Before resurrecting you, Serafina said that she was not a god suitable for expanding territories and conquering wars. She felt that she could only bring endless food and wine to her people, so she regarded you as In order to save the existence of the Cult of Abundance, only you can lead us to victory, and the church is willing to support you with all its strength. This is not an empty talk." Donatello said with great sincerity.
"Oh..." Caesar understood: "In other words, Serafina, the goddess of fertility, only wants to deal with logistics, and leaves all other matters to me. Is this what you mean?"
"Almost...yeah."
A true king will never be willing to submit to others. This is why the churches have never given birth to a great pope who can rival the great emperors in history, unless God is willing to let a strong man who does not believe in himself serve as the pope, but Who dares?
Situations like that of the Truth Church are, after all, just an exception.
"I know what you want me to do." Caesar put his hands behind his back and stared at the map and said: "Conquering other countries and making the Roman Republic prosperous and powerful are only secondary needs. The real purpose of Seraphina, the goddess of fertility, is to find the apocalypse. The key left by the god Nelei Yinda was promoted to the main god."
Regarding the key, not long after Caesar woke up, Archbishop Donatello and others mentioned to him that the size of the land was important, but compared with the key to the hope of being promoted to the Lord God, it was not that important.
The Goddess of Fate, the Goddess of Fertility, the God of Judgment, the God of Wisdom... Among these gods, whoever gets the key and is promoted to the main god can unify the former Apocalypse God System. When the beliefs are unified, the country will naturally expand.
Thoughts have no borders or boundaries.
"The key left by Neleyinda has not appeared yet, and there is not even a clue. Fortunately, other churches have no clue..." Donatello sighed.
"Really not?"
"What do you mean?"
Caesar glanced at Donatello beside him and said calmly: "Four years ago, the Pope of the Church of Truth, Marvey Enders, was just an ordinary naval lieutenant. , looted the merchant ships of the Wisdom God, and not long after that, the Wisdom God organized a navy and launched the Battle of Perea."
"Everyone knows the result of that battle. The Saint-Martial fleet was completely destroyed, but Marvie Enders survived. Not only did he survive, he also resigned from the military as soon as possible after returning to China and ran to New Zealand. Rose City became a little priest....Am I right?"
"Yes." Archbishop Donatello nodded: "This is not a secret."
"You seem to have not grasped the point of the problem." Caesar raised three fingers: "First of all, the merchant ship of the Wisdom God was looted near the Sea of Death. Why did they send the merchant ship to the Sea of Death? There should be all It’s a place that merchant ships should avoid.”
"Secondly, why did Marvey Enders, who robbed the merchant ship, immediately found the Church of Truth after returning to China? The Church of Truth has developed into a behemoth today. Is there really no connection between them?"
"Finally, if there is nothing very important on the merchant ship, why would the Wisdom Cult go to such trouble to launch the Battle of Perea? If it is just for revenge, I think there are other better ways."
"Any of the above three situations can be explained by coincidence, but when the three situations occur at the same time... Donatello, haven't you figured it out yet?"
Donatello's eyes widened and he stammered: "The magic secret...Did the Wisdom Cult open the magic secret left by Yinzine Berger?! They got Nelei Yindarius. The key!"
But the next second, Donatello was a little confused: "No, if Anatole got the key, why didn't he be promoted to the main god directly? Could it be that... the key was lost in the Battle of Perea?"
Caesar smiled: "Either the key was lost, or the key fell into the hands of Marvey Enders. However, considering that the Wisdom God Religion has not launched a full-scale war against the Church of Truth, the key is more likely to be lost."
"There is a third possibility." Donatello swallowed and suddenly remembered something: "I remember Serafina mentioned that Anatole, the God of Wisdom... I have always loved him in my heart. Neley Yinda, if she had obtained the key, she would probably not use the key to be promoted to the main god, but would try to find a way to bring Neley Yinda to come. This is also the reason why she has been pursuing the Tears of the Siren, because she wants to Use the Siren's Tears to ascend to the Lord God level, not the key!"
"There is such a thing. So, it is possible that the key is in the hands of the God of Wisdom."
Caesar sneered:
"Now, the interests of the kingdom and the church are completely aligned. Donatello, don't you still agree with my idea of conquering Gaul?"
"This...I want to ask the goddess for instructions and the Senate to vote on this matter. Your Majesty, I must remind you..." Donatello wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked a little embarrassed: "The Roman Republic The people hate war. They care more about noodles, ham, and wine than war, so your proposal will probably not pass."
"What?" Caesar frowned: "The Roman army, which was good at fighting, now hates war?"
"The main reason is that they have plenty of food and clothing, and there is no need for war... They also like to fall in love and are very... well, leisurely."
"Are you kidding me, Donatero?"
"What I'm telling you is the truth... If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, just go for a walk and you'll find out..." Donatello smiled angrily and said, "If the whole country couldn't find a suitable king, Fengfeo Nor would the goddess Seraphina think of raising you from the grave.”
Caesar: "?"
