[I actually traveled to so many places in such a short period of time. 】

[I guess the people in these places must have been frightened speechless by the host's generosity. 】

【Hey hey hey...】

[However—Host, you don’t seem to have established a good cooperative relationship with those businessmen. 】

The system has been calling 12345 for a long time, but some data still cannot be displayed, which makes it quite puzzling.

[Many of them don’t have a very good attitude towards you. 】

[But, hey, Venier’s attention to you has increased very quickly——]

[Host, the progress this time is gratifying. 】

【The strategy is promising! 】

Chapter 54 - Telling lies with open eyes

"I, we—"

Venier took off his glasses and wiped them, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Have to stop him!"

"If that Khitan man is allowed to continue acting like this, things will get out of hand!"

"You actually knew that things would get out of hand?" The admiral was almost annoyed by Venier.

"Then why didn't you think at the beginning that it would bring another terrible war to our country that is currently experiencing war?"

As a military admiral, he may not be as good as those members of the parliament in politics and business.

But the sense of war is much stronger than theirs——

At this point in time, Willis is fighting to the death with Milan for Italian hegemony.

Originally, Willis thought that with his abundant treasury and the absolute numerical advantage of mercenaries, he could easily defeat Milan, expand the territory thousands of miles, and leap from a city-state to a country.

But just as Willis and Gerea had a powerful navy, Milan had a ferocious army.

But Willis's army was similar to other countries at the same time, with lax discipline, weak combat power, and questionable loyalty...

The result is that Milan, who has a much smaller army, is always pushed to the ground and beaten.

"Last year we were losing ground in the battle with Milan, and the situation was so tight that we even had to send armed sailors ashore."

The admiral said: "Even if I try to gather a reinforcement force of 4000 people, I can't do it at all -"

"What on earth are you thinking? At this time, you have to provoke an extra powerful enemy."

"Excuse me, distinguished Mr. Congressman, how much water has gone into your head?"

numb.

Really numb.

The Admiral couldn't figure out how this kind of resolution was passed in the parliament——

Are the brains of these profiteers disguised as politicians so surprising?

"That's why!" Venier retorted: "We need that route more!"

"A golden route that can bring spices, silks, and porcelain!"

"..."

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense with someone like you."

The admiral was so angry that he slammed the door and left.

"I will not accompany you!"

"You idiots, just wait here to die!"

"you!"

"Mr. Congressman, stop arguing now." The gray-haired Athenian ambassador stopped Venier who was about to have a fit.

"Let's discuss first how to deal with it now."

Venier took a few deep breaths, then pondered for a while, and began to make plans.

"Let Admiral Crete lead the fleet on the island to the city of Thessaloniki to show off his muscles and see if he can scare the Norma Emperor."

"Let all the remaining mercenaries gather in Moria. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is rugged and unsuitable for cavalry."

"The nobility and church in Constantinople can also fight for it——"

"Emperor Norma's reforms seem to make them very angry."

"Finally, contact the Principality of Athens..."

The current situation in the Principality of Athens is very delicate - frightened by Shu Yichao's military front, the fleeing Osmans, the original Western Europeans, and the converted Norma people are all crowded together here.

Originally, there were many conflicts between this group of people, but Shu Yichao got so excited that he didn't care who was on the other side - and in the end, they united.

"If the Khitan Caesar arrives, the Principality of Athens will fight to the death—"

Combined with Shu Yichao's deadly style before and the recent reforms of Constantine XI asking for money, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, these people will risk their lives until the last moment.

Vinier starts off again, with classic Willis fanning the flames.

"We can give them some aid and let them and the Khitans go as hard as they can."

"As long as the Principality of Athens delays the Khitans for a while - maybe we can find a chance to talk to the Norma people, or find other opportunities..."

After thinking for a while, Venier stood up.

"To ensure success, I will personally go to the Principality of Athens."

The Principality of Athens welcomed the Willis MP very warmly.

"Dear Mr. Congressman!"

"We warmly welcome you to come!"

The officers on Osman's side showed no disrespect to Venier at all because of their beliefs or past estrangements.

It seems that they also know that Willis is the only help they can count on now.

"Our dear friend——" the converted Norma people were almost crying with snot and tears.

"You can count."

"That tyrant and diabolical Caesar is wreaking havoc in this land."

"For the sake of the long-lasting friendship between the two countries, you must help us!"

"Once that devil captures Athens, I'm afraid no one will be spared!"

"Your property will also suffer..."

Although I don’t know when the Osman Empire and Willis had a long-term friendship, does it count as cutting each other with a long sword and a scimitar?

But that doesn't stop both sides from telling lies with their eyes open.

It is important to join forces to fight against Shu Yichao.

Soon, the two sides finalized the amount and delivery time of the aid.

Only when the seal was stamped on the treaty did Venier heave a sigh of relief.

This is good, at least until the last drop of blood is shed by the Athenians, there is no need to worry too much in the Moria area.

I just don’t know what the situation is like in Constantinople——

If you can incite the nobles and priests there to join forces to depose Constantine XI.

Then she can turn this war into a civil war among the Norma people...

However, what Senator Vinier didn't know was that her idea might be on the verge of failure.

Willis people ignore the crisis because of their huge interests and wishfully believe that things will develop as they want.

But that doesn't mean that others can't see the situation clearly——

Constantinople.

After a sermon, the Patriarch received several people in his lounge.

After a while of pleasantries, someone lost his composure and took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Patriarch, don't you think His Majesty's recent actions are a bit out of line?"

"He is spreading heresy at will."

With the deepening of the sinicization innovation of Constantine XI, some Noma people who had studied the classics naturally began to explain and understand certain things in their own way.

As a result, in addition to the nobles, the interests of the clergy were also deeply shaken.

Especially sometimes, it is simply unbearable——

God, my Lord’s Trinity is one qi that transforms the three pure beings!

If it weren't for the fact that those who spread these remarks were all upstarts promoted by the emperor, these priests would have shouted that heretics should be burned to death and sent to the stake!

Therefore, the priests of Constantinople desperately hope that the Patriarch will come out to clarify the rumors and set the record straight.

It would be best to...

"Some dukes and counts have expressed their willingness to support us..." the visitors said vaguely.

Then, they saw the patriarch, who was rumored to be crazy, looking at them with a rather amused look.

"The pyramid outside the city." The Patriarch said slowly: "How many heads are it made of?"

"..."

"During the Holy War, this kind of pyramid was built with nearly [-] large ones and hundreds of small ones -"

"It is said that Caesar has built nearly a hundred of these pyramids so far."

"You might as well do the math, how many people are there?"

"..."

"Finally -" the Patriarch asked: "How many people are there in Constantinople?"

"..." The visitors were all stunned.

Then, under the dull eyes of the visitors, the Patriarch pulled out a book full of Chinese characters and read it with gusto.

As the Patriarch, I have to keep pace with the times.

"Now, who is the heretic?"

Chapter 55 - Athenian Scimitar

[It’s really strange, host. 】

System 12345 stared at the interface stuck in PPT, quite puzzled.

[Host, you are obviously far away from Vinir. 】

[And Vinir is still moving...]

[But why are her senses towards you, the host, constantly changing? 】

[Sentiment, surprise, sadness, anxiety, fear...]

System 12345 suddenly thought of something.

[Oh, host, you must have become a pen pal with Venier. 】

System 12345 feels that only in this way can we explain why Venier's emotional changes are so strange.

Thinking about it, only if the two communicated through letters could such an effect be produced.

[Host, I didn’t expect that sometimes you would be quite good at it. 】

[Boys and girls communicate with each other through letters, and the distance between them is gradually shortened through words. 】

[Every time I open the envelope, I feel shy and anxious, looking forward to it but also afraid...]
