A man in the ark was forced to become a king

"This……"

The pope was silent, and so were the other cardinals.

How to fight such an enemy?

They couldn't kill each other, but the other side could easily destroy their armies and cities.

Send strong men to fight in a duel?

Who can challenge a monster that cannot be shaken even by the army's firepower?

That's simply a fantasy.

Based on what Mostima said, it would probably be useless to fill in all the people in Lateran.

Didn't they send strong men before?There are many in the special service team who are strong enough to travel around the world alone.

But that's no use.

It's not that their army is not strong enough, nor that their warriors are not strong enough. It can only be said that the enemies they encounter are too powerful.

The Pope Knight, who could fight against enemies dozens of times his own, used a revolving gun that had no effect on that person. He was completely turned into a decoration and harvested at will like leeks.

The special guns of the special service team can name enemy officers from a long distance, but they can also only cause some negligible damage.

Moreover, according to Mostema, even if a miracle occurs and the person is really beaten, what's the use if he can't be killed?

This war was a dead end from the beginning.

The enemy was so powerful that they couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

There is no solution. This is a proposition that has no solution.

Before today, they had never thought that Rutland would be driven to a dead end by one person.

That kind of monster shouldn't exist in this world at all.

"Well, Mostima, can you contact that person? I think we can talk."

After silence, the Pope looked at Mostema and spoke slowly.

Facing an unsolvable enemy, the best thing to do is not to let the war continue and stop the losses in time. Although it is frustrating to do so, it is not unacceptable compared to the survival of Rutland.

"I'll try it out."

Mostima also felt very sad. Rutland was her hometown after all, and she didn't want it to become a dilapidated ruin.

……

Outside the city, Lin Lu stopped, looked up and glanced at the white city wall that could be seen clearly, took the golden leaves that fell from the void, and crushed them casually.

As expected, it was news of peace talks.

There is the 'conspirator' called Mostima over there, and there was another big battle just now. A smart person should be able to tell that the situation is not good.

In this case, it is natural to have the idea of ​​​​stopping losses in time.

Continuing to fight would not do Rutland any good. When he entered the city, it would be difficult for this ancient holy city to escape being reduced to ruins.

But that wasn't what he wanted.

His purpose from beginning to end was to bring Lateran under the control of the Golden Law.

If you can accept it, the war will end here.

He couldn't accept it, and there was no need to talk. He would fight until Rutland was willing to surrender.

The third option never existed.

However, since my wife has spoken, she still has to give her face, and she can't make it too ugly.

Thinking of this, Lin Lu summoned a golden leaf, carved a message on it, and threw it into the void.

……

slap~

The leaves were broken. After reading the information engraved on them, Mostima felt complicated, his lips trembled, and he didn't know what to say.

Lin Lu was willing to give her face, so she was naturally a little happy.

It's just that the face given... doesn't seem to be much different from nothing.

This is very difficult.

"How about it?"

Seeing the change in her expression, the Pope knew that there was a high probability that this would not happen, but he still asked.

"He said that if Lateran was willing to surrender and accept the rule of the Golden Law, the war could end here."

"If he doesn't want to, he will also give Rutland a chance. If we don't enter the Holy City, we can come up with any method. He will accept it all and fight until we don't want to fight anymore."

Fight until you don't want to fight anymore. Is this the leeway of the strong?

In the Pope's Hall, everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

These remarks were extremely arrogant and did not take Rutlan seriously at all.

However, the other party does have the strength and the qualifications to say such things.

"Submission is impossible. Lateran will not abandon the sacred law, even if he fights to the last man."

In the end, it was the Pope who made the decision.

They will never surrender.

Yes, the enemy is indeed very strong, so strong that he can fight the entire Rutland with one person and still gain the upper hand.

But when they are really at the end of their rope, they are not without the power to resist.

Nothing more than dying together.

Others don't know it, but the Pope knows very well that underground in Lateran, the essence of the law is buried, as well as the relics left over from ancient times. There, there is their last resort.

"Next, follow my orders, gather the children, let the SWAT team escort them, and leave from the other direction."

After some reflection, the Pope issued his order.

Since there is no possibility of peace talks between the two parties, they will not give up.

Before that, he wanted to save the last fire for Rutland, and sending the children out was the last thing he could do.

Perhaps, after this battle, there will never be another Rutland in the world.

But at least the history of Lateran and the blood of Lateran can still be passed down and will not disappear.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope."

The cardinals nodded silently.

However, before they made any move, they noticed that the sky outside the Pope's Hall lit up.

……

When sending the blade over, Lin Lu considered Rutland's possible decision.

There are only two options, surrender, or fight a decisive battle with the determination to die together.

Surrender is easy to say, the war is over, and Rutland is merged into the Golden Tree.

If you don't surrender, you will fight to the end. Rutland will definitely keep the fire of civilization as much as possible and send some people out so that Rutland's heritage will not be lost in the war.

He wouldn't allow that kind of thing.

Therefore, he took action directly to stop Rutlan's intention of sending people away.

The branches and leaves of the golden tree poked out from the void, emitting thousands of rays of light. The shadow of the giant golden tree rose from the ground and went straight into the sky. The majestic energy rolled up and the wind and clouds changed color.

Summoning the shadow of the golden tree, Lin Lu raised her hand with the help of an almost endless supply of energy. In an instant, the entire sky was rendered azure, as if a lid had been placed on it, blocking even the sunlight.

A magic emblem so huge that it measured several kilometers appeared on the sky, hanging over the Holy City of Lateran. The magic that spread from the sky connected to the earth, forming a magnificent curtain that encompassed the entire city.

Magic Real Lucalia Seal!

The super-large spell cast inside the Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy can deny all creatures from entering from the outside, and people inside cannot cross. As long as they touch the seal, they will be teleported back to the place where they came from, and they will never be able to leave without a key.

However, the magic seal he used was different from the one in the Magic Academy.

The seal of the academy was built by gathering the power of many magicians and relying on the academy itself. It was a super-large magic circle that continuously operated, and was much more powerful than the one he used.

That thing is almost impossible to break through. Even if the demigod is gone, he will still scratch his head. His duration is limited and it may be broken by violence.

Therefore, in order to prevent anyone from getting out of the seal, he used another prayer.

Above the sky, a golden tree pattern that is as huge as the magic emblem slowly emerges in the golden light, like a huge tree extending countless branches, hanging from the sky, entangling the huge holy city, and the branches and leaves are connected with each other to form a surrounding city. huge seal.

Prayer·Golden Tree Seal!

Similar to the one he applied in the Ursus Snowfield, it relies on the existence of the shadow of the golden tree and is more defensive. Attacks applied on it will be reflected back, and the difficulty of forcibly breaking through is higher than the magic seal.

Gold and blue, the double seal trapped the holy city of Lateran, and not even a bird could fly out.

Rutland must belong to the golden tree, and every plant and tree cannot be missing.

……

"Your Majesty the Pope, we can't get out. The enemy has imposed two layers of spell seals around the Holy City, which are very strong."

When the cardinal sent out to investigate the situation returned to the Papal Hall, the atmosphere in the Papal Hall became increasingly gloomy.

Now everyone knows that what Mostima said just now is not an exaggeration.

That man could really make his spell envelope the entire Rutland, as evidenced by the double seal outside.

From the skylight of the Pope's Hall, you can clearly see the huge coat of arms suspended above the sky. The majestic energy flowing in it can be clearly sensed even on the ground.

If those energy were converted into offensive spells, the entire city would be destroyed, and only a few strong ones would be able to survive.

The most horrifying thing is that the enemy knew that there would be a decisive battle ahead, and that they would be attacked by Rutland with all its might, but they still used two magic seals to completely block the Holy City at all costs.

What does this mean?

He believed that even if he used two spells of this magnitude, he would still have enough power to deal with Rutland's desperate counterattack!

Is it really possible to die together?

After seeing the enemy's shocking methods, the Pope's confidence was not so sufficient.

They had repeatedly raised their guesses about the enemy's strength, but they still underestimated it.

Such an existence is no different from the legendary god. It is not a giant beast, but a real legendary god, which is simply not something that human beings can fight against.

Moreover, there is still a difficult problem before him - should the plan of dying together continue to be implemented?

The Holy City was sealed off and no one could even get out, let alone send out fire.

Now that all of them are imprisoned in the city, if they still want to make a last ditch effort, they will really die together.

Except for those executors and messengers from all nations who failed to return, there will be no other people left in Lateran, all technology will be lost, and their fame will completely disappear from this world.

Survive, or perish?

Rao has made countless major decisions in his life, but at this point, the Pope still hesitated.

He knew that his decision would determine the survival of Rutland. The pressure was so great that it was difficult for him to speak.

"That...have you ever thought about..."

Vallinae pinched her clothes and spoke softly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Under the gaze of many eyes, she swallowed and said slowly: "He is determined to bring Rutland under the rule of the Golden Law, and he also has the power to resurrect the dead."

"That is to say, after we die, he can make us live again. After resurrection, we will still be included in the Golden Law."

"What choice we make now may not matter to him. It is nothing more than the difference between accepting rule directly and being beaten to death, resurrected and then accepting rule."

"Judging from the results, they are all the same..."

Although these words were a bit depressing and meant to exaggerate others' ambitions and destroy their own prestige, after hearing what Verline said, the cardinals had to admit that this seemed to be the case.

If they choose to surrender, abandon the old law, and accept the new law, they will become members of the Golden Tree from then on.

Choose to make a desperate move and die together. If you fail to kill the other party, you will eventually be resurrected and become a member of the golden tree.

It seems that there is no difference.

Submitting directly and forcing you to surrender after being beaten to death are both the same results.
