Chapter 575 Talks (Part 2)

Colin looked at Marquis Garcia's angular side face and finally sighed.

Colin had actually expected the "weakness" of Marquis Garcia.

This Marquis of the Northern Territory was a staunch externalist from beginning to end, opposing all forms of internal struggle.

At that time, the previous Duke of St. Hilde used many methods to make his stubborn brother go east, but Marquis Garcia just put the rich but weak Eastland without caring about it, and would rather go to the ice field of the sky to fight the trolls who were so poor that they were so poor.

In the end, Duke Saint-Hilde had no choice but to take risks, but was almost taken by Mr. Wu to seize the entire northern border.

At this time, the orc army was about to invade. If it weren't for revenge of Vera, Marquis Garcia would never have agreed to let the northern army approach Yulong City.

Now that Vera wakes up, Marquis Garcia has lost the greatest motivation for revenge, he will naturally only be determined to reconcile with the church.

This is true for even the Marquis of Garcia, not to mention others.

Duke St. Grien was silent. Seeing Colin's gaze, he just shrugged and looked apologetic.

Colin was helpless about this.

He also understood that Duke St. Grian only wanted to calm the dispute between the church and the North, and as for whether the North could take the biggest advantage, she would not care at all.

The Eastern Region led his army to the east this time. It was all about Colin's support. Unfortunately, he just bowed his head and was silent now, not daring to welcome Colin's gaze.

To be honest, Colin was also mentally prepared for Count Nicol's retreat. Although this person responded to Colin's call and led the Eastern Army to cooperate with the Northern Army to approach Yulong City, in fact, the Eastern Army has been deliberately slowing down the marching speed, so there is no need to say more about what he was trying to do.

But Collin had no choice but to do so. Although he had already penetrated the Eastern Realm, he had not really conquered this territory after all.

The lords of the East Realm are now in an extremely contradictory state. They are unable to rejoin the church because of intercepting tithes taxes, but they are unwilling to completely turn to the north and become vassals of the St. Heard family.

They were both resentful and afraid of Colin. They wanted Colin to absorb the firepower of the church in front of them, but they were unwilling to cooperate with the North.

In fact, this is also a hidden danger left by Colin at the beginning, because after conquering the Eastern Realm, he encountered a war order and had no time to sort out the forces in the Eastern Realm.

Now it seems that this Count Nicol is still too slippery and not loyal enough.

But Colin had no better candidate.

Although Anna is suitable, she is a blood slave without independent consciousness and cannot control the Eastern Realm for him.

However, the only direct descendant of the San Prous family, Ector, who is the newly recruited student of Colin, is still too young to bear the heavy responsibility.

Therefore, if you want to completely control the Eastern Realm, you may need to think of another method.

Colin couldn't help but think that if he really took the banner of the St. Chapman family, would it be easier to take charge of the Eastern Realm?

"The Earl of Angeles and Marquis of Garcia have agreed to reconcile. What else do you have?" Emperor Reinhardt urged again.

Colin felt tired only.

This time was originally a great opportunity to weaken the strength of the church, but unexpectedly, as the leader of the nobles, Emperor Reinhardt was constantly helping the church and suppressing the northern border.

This ironic scene made Colin suddenly feel a little ridiculous.

But at the same time, Collin also deeply realized that with the current situation where the imperial nobles are divided and each has their own ulterior motives, it is probably difficult to effectively suppress the church.

Suddenly, ambition hidden in his heart suddenly surged into Colin's mind and could no longer linger.

At this moment, Colin unconsciously met Queen Midella's gaze.

From her bright eyes, Colin seemed to understand what the queen wanted to convey—

Now, are you willing to kill this stupid emperor for me?

Colin took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts that kept rolling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to reach a reconciliation with the church."

Before Emperor Reinhart could be happy, Colin added: "But I have one last condition."

Emperor Reinhart snorted lightly, but said patiently: "Say."

"The diocese of the North may not be independent, but the appointment and removal of the Archbishop of the North must be approved by the Duke of St. Hilde!" Colin said word by word, "If the Pope's crown is unwilling to agree to this condition, then I will never agree to reconciliation!"

Gregory immediately understood Colin's plan, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but before he could speak, Marquis Garcia actually nodded and echoed:

"Yes, this is my condition. The final condition!"

Obviously, Marquis Garcia also realized that without this condition, the Archbishop of the Northern Territory, Ajani, who had publicly accused Gregori of the United States, would definitely be liquidated by the church.

Marquis Garcia certainly did not want Ajiani to become the victim of her compromise, so he spoke up with Colin's conditions.

Although Gregori was unwilling to let Ajani go, he had to make concessions in the face of the double pressure from Marquis Garcia and Count Angeles.

"Well, from now on, the church will first seek the consent of the Duke of St. Hilde before appointing and removing the Archbishop of the North."

Colin then breathed a little relieved.

Ajani has an important role in his plan, and Colin cannot give up on her.

Although the church failed to pay enough this time, at least Colin has seen some of the church's trump cards.

Moreover, he also figured out the fatal flaws that existed in his own side, that is, the imperial nobles.

At this moment, Colin finally regained a certain idea he had had.

"Very good!" Emperor Reinhardt laughed and clapped his hands, "Since that's the case, the matter of Turnans' murder of Duke St. Heard was properly resolved.

Next, we must do our best to deal with the upcoming army of orcs!

Now that you are all here, we might as well discuss the countermeasures first.”

Duke Saint Grien immediately responded: "Your Majesty, according to the situation we have discovered before, the orc army will arrive at the western border at the end of March, so the supported army must start gathering towards the western border now!"

"The lord army of the Fierce Flame leader has been assembled and can set off at any time." Emperor Reinhardt nodded, then looked around for another time and asked, "Where are the other three realms?"

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Alliance has also been assembled and can set off at any time." Earl Nicol replied immediately.

"The northern border is also ready." Marquis Garcia nodded.

There will naturally be no problem with these two realms. Emperor Reinhardt finally turned his attention to an old man next to the long table.

He was the representative sent by the Southern Consort to attend the talks this time - the Southern Consort Dulles St. Landes.

This person had been watching the excitement for a long time. This time, seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, he immediately nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the army in the southern border is already on the road, and it is expected that it will be able to reach the western border smoothly by the end of March."

"Very good!" Emperor Reinhardt waved his hand vigorously and said, "I will personally serve as the commander-in-chief in this battle against the orcs!

I believe that it won’t take long before we can completely drive this group of dirty and stupid barbarian creatures back to the west of the Tianduan Mountains!”
