Chapter 148: Roman Evacuation

"This is the case, my honorable Pope, I think the situation is very dangerous at the moment. We must evacuate the residents of the Roman city. The defense line ahead is in danger. The Black Death is about to spread to the city."

After the narrative was completed, the Defense Minister respectfully begged that after these days of training, he finally gained some understanding of the Black Death, and finally realized that the enemy he faced this time could not follow the means in his experience.

Although the opinions he put forward at this moment are not the best, there are some reasonable points. If implemented, they can at least play some role.

However, before the pope could speak, the old Cardinal Samael, standing beside him, coughed and said, "No! Rome will never fall!"

First, Cardinal Samael paused for a moment and began his own declaration: "Rome is holy! God's eyes will always be here. I believe that with the help of God, the city of Rome will definitely survive this storm!"

His tone was sacred and solemn, and anyone would be moved by his heart when he heard it. Some ordinary people who had never been in contact with religion, and after hearing Bishop Samar's words, they might immediately feel that they were inspired by God and became the most devout believer.

Samar still has some real skills to become a cardinal, at least this acting is beyond words.

When he heard Bishop Samar opposes the evacuation of Rome, the Defense Minister smacked his lips bitterly, but couldn't speak.

He had already seen Bishop Samar's plan clearly, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This old man, because his territory under his name is in Pescara, would hinder his territory, which would threaten his territory, so he fiercely stopped this matter."

Not only did the Defense Minister see this clearly, but everyone present also knew something, but no one dared to say it out loud.

Samar is the chief cardinal and the electorate, and he himself represents an extremely terrifying force.

Aren't they the naughty green who dared to kill the nobles like Eugen, who was unscrupulously. They were terrible assassinated after they killed Eugen? There was even a siege of robbers, which was an obvious threat.

The Minister of Defense really wanted to imprison Cardinal Samael, or simply cut it off with a knife, but he was not Eugen after all, and Samael was not Earl Mead, so he could only think about some things in his heart.

The Pope, who was sitting at the highest point, listened quietly to Cardinal Samael's speech with his eyes closed, without any reaction, as if he was asleep.

The current Pope Pisa Mail is still old and is already seventy-six years old. No one knows when he accidentally returns to heaven to serve his God.

The old man returned to the old man, but his power did not weaken a little. Under his suppression, there was no dispute within the church for the position of the pope.

The next pope, Bishop Samael, is not qualified to run for the election. After all, he is old and has great power. Other large forces will never sit idly by and watch his strength grow unlimitedly.

Therefore, the candidates for the Pope must be chosen among the other three cardinals. There is no final conclusion yet. Who will fall in the family depends on how much they can make to the church.

"Cough cough..." After a long but full of breath coughing, the pope opened his eyelids and slowly spoke: "Bissar Samael said it right. We cannot abandon Rome. This is an eternal city. No disaster can be erased!"

Bishop Samar did not show any expression on his face, but anyone could feel his pride in his plan.

"But..." At this time, a turning word from the Pope made Bishop Samael's expression stiffen.

"But these people in the city are all children of God. They will get sick, suffer, and die. And we have the responsibility to save them from suffering!"

With this sentence, the defense minister's originally depressed mood was aroused. He looked at the pope with an excited expression and suddenly felt that the pope had extraordinary wisdom.

Bishop Samar's face turned gloomy, but since the Pope had spoken, he couldn't object.

"I announce that the people in the city of Rome have begun to evacuate inland, and all the people of the Holy See will be transferred together by the arrangements of the commander of the disaster relief army. I will stay in the city of Rome and pray for everyone!"

The solemn and heavy voice of the Pope came and echoed in the hall.

The Minister of Defense is the current commander of the disaster relief army. He immediately respectfully thanked him and accepted the appointment.

Other cardinals, including Bishop Samael, persuaded the Pope to leave together. After all, if everyone else leaves, staying here will inevitably face the threat of death.

But the Pope has made up his mind and is ready to coexist with the city.

With the permission of the Pope, things went much smoother.

The Minister of Defense focused on the city of Rome and established a defense line across the Italian Peninsula, hoping to resist the terrifying Black Death here.

There was news of evacuation in the Holy See, and most of the citizens in the city responded eagerly, but a small number of people refused to leave.

Most of these people have purchased indulgences.

"Since there is no threat, why should we leave?"

They could neither admit that they were false believers nor say that indulgences were of no use. Out of faith, they decided to stay here to face the coming of disease.

This is just one of the reasons, and the other is that they want to stay in the city as others leave Rome this time and make a fortune.

If a city has no basic managers, it is like a treasure that has opened its doors and can be requested by them.

For this reason, there are always people who don’t want to leave here.

In any case, staying and leaving are voluntary. The Minister of Defense did not force those people to leave. In his opinion, this was not a big deal.

However, if Eugen was here, it would be impossible for these people to stay here no matter what. Eugen only prepared two roads for those people, one was to leave and the other was to be locked in the quarantine area and wait for death!

With the advancement of the Black Death, Earl Mead, the territory of Cardinal Samar, Pescara, is now at the forefront of the Black Death.

Many nobles here, such as Viscount Lorence and Viscount Ed, were completely disdainful of this.
