Lord of War

   Putting the "Steven" aside for the time being, Sean turned and walked into the small meeting room.

  In the conference room, there are already three people sitting at this time.

  Cecilia, Xuefanio, and Hitley.

  The three people obviously did not expect that Sean would appear here suddenly, so they were obviously surprised by the appearance of Sean.

   "Lord Lord."

   "Sean?"

Hitley did not have much dealings with Sean, that is, they met when he helped Sean deal with the injury. Later, about the life church preaching the doctrine and recruiting believers in Sean’s territory, it was all done by Xi. Terry and Neal are in charge of negotiations. It’s just obvious that Hitley, who has not been deeply involved in the world, is not good at these tasks. Therefore, only two negotiations were conducted. Hitley had been completely defeated. If it were not for the life church to send an emergency. Someone who is good at negotiation comes over, I'm afraid Hitley will even sell herself.

  A future saint selling herself to Sean, this kind of thing looks like a very ironic joke no matter how you look at it.

   However, for Xuefanio, this is not a big deal. Anyway, not only her, but also the goddess of ice and winter, Eswinter, who is nominally her ancestor and now her immediate boss, has sold herself and the entire church to Sean, so Xuefanie On the contrary, Austria is very accustomed to this situation. When she was communicating with Hitley in private now, she even encouraged Hitley to sell her to Sean many times, and of course she beautified Sean to look like a god.

  For Hitley, a small white flower who is not deeply involved in the world and has a pious belief, the lethality is indeed not light.

   Therefore, after seeing the appearance of Sean suddenly, Hitley obviously didn't know what to do, but looked at Sean dumbly.

  Shirfanio squinted at Hitley, but she started to laugh inwardly: "Old woman, I did a good job."

   "It did a great job." Esther and Xuefanio have a direct blood relationship, so Esther can naturally feel what Xuefanio sees and hears. Although she was threatened by Enkos and had to let the followers of the Goddess of Life propagate the doctrine and recruit believers in Shaun’s territory, it did not mean that she had to cooperate with the future saint belonging to the Church of Life, at least the saint Eiswenter would still be very happy to see anything dragged into the water.

  Unlike Hitley and Xuefanio, Cecilia was really happy when she saw Sean’s appearance.

  Sean greeted Xuefanio first, and then sat down beside Cecilia before turning his head to greet Hitley. It’s just that the latter’s expression of Ai Ai really made Sean feel a bit at a loss. In Sean’s memory, Hitley shouldn’t be such a talented person. After all, the last time Hitley was healing him, he was decisive. The heroic posture really makes Sean a little unforgettable.

"Now that everyone is here, then we will start." It seems that feeling some subtle changes in the atmosphere in the conference room, William just glanced at Sean and Hitley, and then made a decision." Don’t waste each other’s time. After all, everyone’s time is very precious."

  Hearing William's words, everyone in the meeting room immediately calmed down, even if it was Xuefanio, who was thinking of pranks, he had to calm down immediately. Because the relationship between Ice and Snow and the Winter Church and Sean can be said to be a grasshopper tied to a rope, and whether it was the previous war with the Chiraff or the Daj, or the later actions in the Wildlands , Xuefanio and Sean are both born and died, and they are naturally somewhat different in their emotions. So before today, she had received William's reminder to know what the main content of today's meeting was.

  In fact, only Hitley is the only one who knows nothing.

  According to normal circumstances, today’s meeting should not be Hitley, but a diplomat sent by the Church of Life to stay here temporarily in the void city. However, William and Neal did not notify the diplomat of today’s meeting. Instead, they used "Hitley to be the main person in charge of the future garrison" as an excuse to let him come and participate in the meeting-whether it was a nobleman or a god. Or other people are all the same cunning.

   Dealing with Hitley, this pure little white flower, is much easier than dealing with priests, priests, and diplomats of other life churches.

   "I would like to ask Miss Hitley, if there is a war in the future, what kind of help can your life church give?" William spoke straightforwardly, without a hint of embarrassment at all.

   Faced with William’s direct opening remarks, Hitley was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly replied: "According to the agreement we negotiated with Archon Neil..."

"No, no, no." William shook his head and interrupted Hitley's speech very strongly, "That is the agreement between your Church of Life and Archon Neil on political affairs. What we are about to discuss now is about the future territory. Military issues... Government affairs and military affairs, these are two concepts, Miss Hitley, can you understand the meaning?"

   Hitley was stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand the meaning of William's words.

Regarding the results of the negotiations between the former diplomatic officer from the Life Church and Neal, Hitley certainly also read it. After all, she was the head of the Life Church who stayed in Pandaling and even in Shaun’s territory afterwards, not The person in charge of foreign affairs. According to that agreement, Life Church must pay Sean a symbolic tax every year. In addition, Life Church must also be obliged to treat Sean’s soldiers after the war. Of course, this means Minor injuries, like Sean’s last time, require the help of divine grace to be able to heal. The Church of Life has the right to refuse.

   But if these are all government duties, what do military duties mean?

"At this point, in fact, our requirements are not high." William saw Hitley revealing some confused gods. He did not destroy Xiao Baihua's psychological shadow at all, and said simply, "I only hope you It is enough to be exactly the same as the promise given by the Snow and Winter Church. There will never be more stringent requirements than the Snow and Winter Church. After all, if we can’t treat them equally, this will really damage our reputation."

  When William said this with a smile on his face, Sean, who was still drinking tea, was directly frightened and sprayed out, and Sean, who was choked by the tea, let out a series of violent coughs. This action immediately scared Cecilia and Hitley next to him, but compared to Hitley, Cecilia, who was more intimate with Sean, immediately began to help Shaun smooth the back. gas.

After finally relieving Sean, he raised his head and looked at William, but he saw William's disgusting expression. Even Xuefanio next to him was like "What's the fuss? You are still a man. , No matter how courageous it is.

   Sean swallowed a bit hard, he never thought that William was so bold and sent his ideas to the goddess of life with great power.

Others may not know, but William knows very well that the goddess of ice and winter sold the entire church and herself to Sean, which means that Eswintell must be in both military and government affairs. Unconditionally support and shelter Sean. And this is fully reflected in the clergy that is currently training for Sean by the Snow and Winter Church. According to previous reports by Rizi Xuefanio, this clergy is likely to be able to participate in the upcoming and Dabian. The war in the kingdom.

Although William only asked Hitley to make military affairs consistent with that of the Church of Frost and Winter, but not government affairs, once Hitley, the future saint of the Church of Life, nodded and agreed, it also meant that once In formal military operations, Life Church must also fight with Sean's army. Even if this is not possible, at least it must be done not to rescue and assist Sean's enemy forces during the war.

  In other words, once Hitley nodded, all enemies who went to war with Sean would not be able to obtain assistance from the Church of Life, and could only be cured after the war.

  Thinking of this, Sean glanced at Cecilia and Xuefanio. The two gods appeared to be very calm, and it was obvious that they had been angry with William a long time ago. Only Sean, who didn't know anything, was choked by tea when he heard William's bold speech.

  This is a Yin plot against the goddess of life.

   It seems that Sean’s strong reaction caused Hitley’s jingling, she was hesitant on her face, not knowing whether she should agree to it or not. But after thinking for a while, she turned her head to look at Xuefanio, and said softly, "Miss Xuefanio, can I ask about the Church of Ice and Winter and Sir Sean Connery. Are there any cooperation projects in military affairs?"

  Hitley used formal diplomatic language, which means that her attitude on this matter is very serious, at least in the interest of the life church.

  This attitude naturally caused William to give Sean a second glance.

  It's just that, based on William's appearance, he did not make people feel uncomfortable or other expressions at a glance. On the contrary, he had a unique style. It's just that this made Sean even more helpless and frightened, so he simply stopped going to see William, but turned his head to look at Hitley.

"It's nothing." Xuefanio knew that if she didn't answer this question well or was vague, Hitley would definitely refuse. In this case, she couldn't drag Hitley into the water, so she was thinking. After a while, Xuefanio replied: "It's just to fight with Sean's army when necessary.... But most of the time, it's actually going out on adventures with Sean..."

   Xuefanio keenly noticed that when she said "adventure experience with Sean", Hitley's eyes flashed, showing a stronger interest.

"...Like before, we went to the wild land together. Although it's dangerous, it's really interesting." Xuefaniao smiled slightly and continued, "Of course, this is normal.... But if In wartime, I also need to be responsible for assisting Lord William in the battle. After all, if Sean’s territory is taken by the enemy, we will also lose the right to believe in the territory, so for this, I think military assistance In fact, it is still bearable."

Sean glanced at Xuefanio. He didn't expect that even a clergyman like Xuefanio would lie—of course, it’s not actually a lie. It just minimizes many troublesome problems and things. To speak. At least in terms of military assistance, Xuefanio only emphasized the assistance in combat, and did not explain the situation that once a war broke out, whether it was an external aggression or an internal defense of the Snow and Winter Church, it would be involved in the war.

  This is a kind of literal trap.

   Hitley's brows frowned slightly, apparently she hadn't made a decision yet.

   So soon, Xuefanio and William turned their eyes to Sean. At this moment, Sean understood that he had to say something.

After thinking for a while, Sean coughed slightly to attract Hitley’s attention, and then said: “Actually, I still hope you can stay here. Maybe there will be a lot of troubles to trouble you in the future, and I will also deal with you. You are familiar with a priest of the Church of Life, no matter what, I think we should be regarded as friends."

  When Sean said this, Hitley hesitated a little, then nodded, and said, "Okay, I agree."

And almost as soon as Hitley’s words fell, William directly took out a document and handed it to Hitley with a gentle smile: "I have drawn up the agreement. You swear by the name of the goddess of life. Just sign it."

Seeing William's neat behavior, Sean couldn't help but stunned again: Since when did this guy start Hitley's idea, even the contract has been drawn up, will this action be too fast? That's it.

As for William’s actions, Hitley is of course a little skeptical, but the content of the contract is not too much, only two or three pages, and many of the content can be ignored and truly valuable. There is only one treaty, that is, what William said before is the same as that of the Bingxue and Winter Churches. Other than that, there are no literal traps and contradictions.

  But Hitley didn’t know that the content of this treaty was the real biggest trap in the entire contract.

  After confirming that there were no omissions, Hitley did not hesitate to swear by the name of God, and then signed her own name. (To be continued.)
