"The time is not yet ripe."
In the study, Mavey put forward his own idea: "The key to taking London is not the army stationed in the suburbs, but the church."
"Not long ago, demons invaded, and three goddesses descended on two. This is enough to show that the defense focus of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is here. Acting rashly will only make our plan fail."
"Well, that's why I haven't taken action for a long time, waiting for you to come back." Ture sighed: "Who could have thought that such a change as the arrival of gods would happen two years ago? If there is no god, the church is just a vassal of the royal power, and there is no need for such a change. Trouble. A few years ago, when you went to New Ross City to establish a church, did it have anything to do with the coming of God?"
Saying this proved that Ture suspected that Ma Wei knew in advance that the gods would come two years ago, so he went to New Ross City to establish the Church of Truth and fight against the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. However, he was also undecided. What was Wei's original intention in establishing the Truth Church?
"The candidate to go to New Ross City to contact the fourth prince is decided by everyone's vote, not necessarily me. As for why I want to establish a church, it is just because I hate the profit-seeking behavior of King Rhodes IV. It has nothing to do with the coming of God." Ma Wei said seriously: "I had no idea that God would come two years ago."
"I believe you." Tu Lei nodded lightly: "Thanks to this coincidence, we have the strength to fight against the church. Can the Church of Truth defeat the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny now?"
"no."
"But didn't the Church of Truth defeat the Church of Wisdom last year?"
"The defeat of the Wisdom Cult involved a large part of luck." Ma Wei said: "The Wisdom Cult only sent one archbishop and some members to infiltrate the Romanov Kingdom, and did not come out in full force at all. In the decisive battle of Tver, If it hadn’t been for the help of the ancient god forces, who summoned the Demon Gate to block the Kungunir thrown by Anatole, I might have become a revenant now.”
In the decisive battle in Tver, although the Church of Truth successfully defeated the Wisdom Cult, it was not them who really contributed, but the forces of the Ancient Gods!
Anatole, who has completed three awakenings, is only one step away from the main god. Even if Yunia fights him back and forth with her ungrateful street skills, she still cannot defeat him head-on and will lose sooner or later.
It was the Devil's Gate that scared Anatole away. He was afraid that the Devil's Gate would open in his own kingdom, and in that case, he would have no room for escape.
Anatole alone, a god of faith, cannot be the opponent of the ancient gods.
These are all facts. Ma Wei will not take all the credit on himself, thinking that the Church of Truth already has the strength to defeat the three-awakened God of Faith.
"I still need some time, it won't be too long."
"We have been waiting for 5 years, and we are not short of this time." Toure nodded and said: "Silva's ship will leave at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Pier 1 of the Port of London. In order not to be exposed, I will give up my seat. Silva put him in the bottom cabin and sent him to the Romanov Kingdom."
After finalizing the ship issue, Mavey left with Yunia and Levin. The next afternoon, he went to the apartment to find Kovalev and came to Pier 1 with him.
A frigate is moored at Pier 1, which is responsible for protecting the main ship and temporarily docking at the Port of London to replenish supplies. As the largest navy in the world, the Royal Navy has ships returning and leaving London every day, and it has a great influence on the Royal Navy. With the powerful Toure, it couldn't be easier to get someone on board.
On the frigate, Toure, who was supposed to be in confinement, was talking to a young man wearing a captain's hat. After signing the crime sheet, old Duke Crowley had no reason to continue to confine his son. He thought My son figured it out!
Seeing the arrival of Ma Wei and the others, the young man standing next to Tu Lei suddenly became excited. Although his face was calm, his outstretched palms were trembling, not with fear, but with excitement, and his eyes were very warm.
Mavie has great trust in the 137 survivors of the Saint-Martial fleet, but the level of trust is different. The young captain standing in front of him, the former deck mopman Padfoot Silva, is one of the people Mavie and Toure trust the most. one.
Arriving at the captain's cabin, Silva finally dared to speak with confidence: "Lieutenant, you are finally back! We are all waiting for your good news!"
"Now that he is the Pope, you can't call him Lieutenant." Toure joked.
"It's better to call me Lieutenant. I'm not used to it when you call me Pope." Ma Wei sat on the sofa and declined the rum offered by Silva. He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that all the poor boys back then became captains. Okay, look at this outfit, your military rank is already higher than mine."
"Being promoted so quickly is partly due to luck." Silva said with some embarrassment: "In last year's war, the Royal Navy was attacked by unknown creatures in the East China Sea, which caused great losses, so the military promoted some young generals. , it was Captain Toure who used family connections to secretly help me, otherwise I would not be qualified to be the captain at all."
Nodding, Ma Wei asked: "I heard that you are responsible for cruising the Arctic waters this time?"
"Yes, I was ordered to protect the merchant ships of the United Kingdom of Ruiwei. The superiors are afraid that the navy of the Romanov Kingdom will be detrimental to these merchant ships."
Ma Wei is quite clear about the strength of the Romanov Kingdom's navy. It is not weak, but it is no match for the Royal Navy. Protecting merchant ships is also one of the frigates' responsibilities, which is equivalent to an official protective umbrella.
"When heading to the extreme northern waters, don't go deep and only move around the periphery. If you see a group of whales, don't think too much and run away immediately."
"Understood." Silva nodded heavily: "The church has told us about the potential dangers in the extreme northern seas. There will be a bishop and two priests on board the ship. They are the spies installed by the church. In order to prevent them from discovering it, we let Let this friend suffer in the bottom cabin for a few days."
The bottom hold is a place used to store cargo. Under normal circumstances, few crew members go to the bottom hold. Although the environmental conditions are a bit worse, there is no need to endure it for too long. The Kingdom of Windsor has a high latitude and is not far from the extreme northern seas. , he will be able to reach the edge of the Far North Sea in less than a week. By then, Kovalev will be able to set foot on land again and return to Mosk.
Silva also wanted to reminisce with Mavie. He hadn't seen each other for five years and had a lot to say, but Mavie had no intention of lingering. He put on his hat and said: "There is nothing more joyful than meeting again after a long separation, but it is a pity. It’s 4 o’clock in 10 minutes, it’s time for you to go, Silva.”
Realizing that time was running out, Silva quickly asked: "Lieutenant, do you think we will succeed?"
Mawei paused as he walked to the door and glanced back at him: "We are dead souls who are good at creating miracles. The enemy in the Battle of Perea couldn't kill us, and neither can the church!"
Looking at Ma Wei's retreating back, Silva suddenly noticed that Toure's eyes were complicated and asked curiously: "Captain Toure, what's wrong with you?"
".fine."
Toure said silently: "I am remembering my dead brother. It will be Quim's birthday soon, and it is also the day of worship. I want to go to the cemetery to visit him."
The next day, the Capitol.
The spacious streets were busy with traffic, and luxurious carriages came one after another. The well-dressed MPs with delicate beards walked into the door with suitcases containing the proposals they had prepared. Today is the day when the House of Lords and the Lower House meet together.
The Parliament of the Kingdom of Windsor is very special. The House of Commons, commonly known as the House of Commons, holds the greatest power. All members of the House of Commons are elected, and the cabinet members who assist the king must be elected from the House of Commons. Therefore, many prime ministers and cabinet members will give up Own aristocratic title and prepare to enter the center of power.
The power of the House of Lords is far less than that of the House of Commons. The members are divided into two parts. One is the clergy members, elected from the state religion, that is, the Church of the Three Destinies, and appointed by the pope; the other is the aristocratic members, personally appointed by the king.
If a proposal of the House of Commons is rejected by the House of Lords, the House of Commons can make a new resolution. On the contrary, if a resolution of the House of Lords is rejected by the House of Commons, it will be immediately invalidated.
At the semi-annual general meeting, if two consecutive proposals put forward by the House of Commons are rejected by the House of Lords, the resolution of the House of Lords will be invalid and the proposal will be forcibly passed.
The House of Lords can delay the passage of a bill, but it cannot invalidate it.
One of the reasons why Mavey refuses to contact Freya is to enter the House of Commons, which has substantial power through elections. The Conservative Party and the Liberal Party are both members of the House of Commons, and this is where the eldest prince and the second prince mainly compete. If Mavey marries If he loses Freya and becomes a Duke, he will not be able to become a civilian member of the House of Commons. At most, he will become a member of the House of Lords without much power.
It is worth mentioning that the chamber where the House of Commons is located is the only place in the Kingdom of Windsor where the king is not allowed to enter.
Unlike the members of the House of Commons who wore suits, many members of the House of Lords wore red robes with family crests on them, and together with the clergy members, they entered the large chamber to wait.
Ma Wei also put on the attire of a clergy member and followed Archbishop Brandon into the crowd into the main hall. Yunia looked left and right among the crowd, following closely in her father's footsteps, looking out of place.
Members of the House of Lords sit on the left side of the chamber, and the more numerous members of the House of Commons sit on the right side. When most of the members are seated, the black stick officer who is responsible for ceremonial arrangements and access control of the whole house wears a headband The crowned King Rhodes IV walked into the chamber, and the king entered. The left and right members all stood up and waited for the king to take his seat before sitting down one after another.
At this time, Ma Wei noticed that the crown jewel on the head of King Rhodes IV was one size too small, which obviously did not match the pothole. It was easy to know that this was Levin's masterpiece.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the last few members entered the chamber. King Rhodes IV looked at the black staff officer. The black staff officer raised his black cane with understanding. The ceremony attendants waiting on both sides of the door opened the door at a steady speed. Close slowly.
Click.
The door closed and the parliament officially began. Speaker Lambert stood up first, walked to the stage in the center of the aisle, and said loudly: "Dear members, it is an honor to preside over this meeting."
