He noticed that the black-clothed magistrate had lowered his head and did not raise it, and his eyes softened.

Ronis calmly put the angel statue away and said to the black-clothed magistrate:

"You ask first, and I'll listen."

"yes!"

The black-clothed magistrate quickly took out an angel statue and activated it after praying.

The first time he called, the angel statue didn't respond, and Roland didn't answer.

"The Pope..."

"Again."

"yes."

The second time, the third time, and the fourth time, as the number of times increased, Ronis's expression became more and more gloomy.

It was not until the fifth time that Roland finally responded to the statue.

As soon as he came up, he asked in a very impatient tone: "What's the matter?"

The black-clothed judge glanced at Ronis and saw that he had no reaction, so he said to Roland:

"Your Majesty Roland, I would like to ask you again why the Red Castle fell?

This is different from what you promised us before."

"I said it all, I kept it, but I didn't keep it.

How many times do you want me to say it?

That beast Rod Hart didn't keep his promise at all. He didn't just plunder resources and leave. He just wanted to knock down Erathia.

If you have time to harass me, why not think of a way to send more angels to drive away those skeletons?"

The black-robed judge looked at Ronis and indicated that what he said was true.

Ronis finally couldn't bear it anymore and said:

"Roland, have you forgotten the oath you swore in the cathedral?"

On the other side of the angel statue, there was a sudden sound of tables and chairs falling over, and the sound of glass breaking.

Immediately afterwards, Roland's panicked voice came out:

"Your Holiness, I have never forgotten it.

I, Roland, have sworn an oath to work hard for you and the Holy Heaven Church, and to provide the church with the highest political support."

Ronis' voice was low: "Since you have never forgotten, how do you explain what you are doing now?

Are you trying to take refuge in Diya, or am I, Ronis, not worthy of crowning you the Pope?"

At this time, Roland's voice calmed down.

"Your Majesty the Pope, I have not told a lie.

I really can't beat it.

When King Griffin was alive, I was no match for him.

Now he has become an undead, has such a terrifying undead army, and has become extremely cruel, bloody and aggressive.

Now he is like a beast that has broken free of its shackles, and I am no longer his match."

Ronis gradually lost patience:

"Are you playing dumb with me, Roland?

If you can't defeat it yourself, why don't you send Oring and Talis over?

Not only did you not send them out, but you asked them to intercept Catherine?

What exactly do you mean?

You wouldn’t tell me that you are truly attracted to your wife, who you have never held hands with a few times, and you don’t want to watch her step into the trap step by step?”

"of course not!"

Roland categorically denied it.

"Your Majesty the Pope, you know me.

Women are just playthings to me, even if they are legends.

The only thing that attracts me about Catherine is her blood.

But in my eyes, she is just a noble toy.

The reason why I intercepted her was to make our plan go more smoothly.

I bet she is more anxious than us now.

As long as Catherine attacks the Orling Guard stronghold, the fact that Catherine betrayed Erathia will be established directly, and she does not even need to meet King Griffin.

The gods have reason to directly judge Catherine."

Ronis couldn't tell for a moment whether this was Roland's excuse or what he said from the bottom of his heart.

There is no doubt that there is no guilt. In the absence of concrete evidence, Ronis can only take what he said as true.

"Roland, if things are really as simple as you think, do I still need to spend so much effort to make so many arrangements?

Don't make your own decisions, it will only harm me and yourself.

Now, let Catherine go immediately, and then find a way to make up for the missing 160,000 pilgrims."

"Make up, make up?"

Roland's voice sounded very surprised.

"Your Majesty the Pope, for these 160,000 pilgrims, I have sent more than 3.2 million people to King Griffin.

Now it costs another 160,000."

"Then give me another three million.

No, be safe and give me five million."

Ronis's voice was emotionless.

Roland was silent for a while and replied affirmatively:

"Your Majesty the Pope, I understand and I will do it immediately."

Seeing that the light of the angel statue was gradually dimming, the black-clothed magistrate, who had never dared to disturb him, asked eagerly: "Pope, will Roland comply?"

"Whether he knows it or not, we must prepare in advance.

I can't wait any longer."

Ronis stretched out his hands, and some age spots and wrinkles had begun to appear on his hands.

"Notify Inheim to advance the eastbound plan."

"yes!"

…

…

Before going to Griffin Cliff, Qi Ge sorted out the Griffin King incident in his previous life and the Griffin King incident in this life.

He wanted to analyze the plans and purposes of Ronis by comparing the different developments of the two incidents.

But Qi Ge did not expect that when he was sorting it out, he accidentally discovered a suspicious point that he had not noticed before.

The speed of Roland's defeat in his previous life was almost the same as the speed of Roland's defeat in this life.

Roland's leadership fell quickly in this life, and Qi Ge was not surprised.

Roland himself only has three usable true legendary heroes.

Orling and Talis were both transferred to stop Catherine's advance, while Cattleya performed intelligence work near the queen's territory.

Roland's leadership in the Western Territory couldn't even find a top-level general who could handle it, so it was natural that he would collapse.

But the situation in the previous life was different.

Qi Ge can guarantee that Ronis in his previous life was definitely not involved in the King Griffin incident, and Roland was not as hostile to Catherine as he is now.

The entire King Griffin incident was purely Rod Hart's personal behavior.

Even with the two trump cards of Orling and Taris, Roland's leadership was still so thoroughly defeated, which is a bit intriguing.

Even if King Geffenhart is very powerful and has a high strategic level, Orling and Taris will never lose so completely together.

But Roland in his previous life seemed to have no resistance at all. His territory fell all the way, and even Roland's own main city, the old capital of Enroth, Standwick City, was captured by King Griffin.

Already.

Standwick City is a standard comprehensive main city, with first-class defense facilities, logistics capabilities, and troop production capabilities.
