Sandro was sitting in the master's seat in the main hall of the Ryan family's castle. He was drinking tea and reading newspapers. Seven or eight maids were waiting in the main hall. If Dudian was here, he would find that the once humble Ryan castle had become magnificent and luxurious. There were no more than a dozen maids and knights in the castle. Now there were dozens of maids and they were all over the corridors.
There were more than two or three hundred knights patrolling outside the manor. It was a symbol of status for the aristocracy. It was no less important than money!
These knights were the legal private military force of the aristocracy. The number of knights often determined the strength of the aristocracy.
At the same time, the town where the Ryan family was located was not the same as before. Four or five farms and pastures had been developed in the mountains outside the town, which were managed by the Ryan family. The food produced was enough to feed all the knights and their squires, as well as servants in the castle.
"New Pope?" Sandro's leisurely expression froze when he saw the news on the newspaper. He quickly put down his crossed legs, opened the newspaper, and read it carefully.
After a moment, his face showed a shocked expression: "The Pope is going to abdicate? The new Pope is such a big event. How come there was no news in advance? Did the Holy Church block the news? "
He was in a daze for a long time before he slowly reacted. He frowned and fell into deep thought. "If the new Pope ascends to the throne, I don't know if the rule that the nobles can be selected as Knights of Light without taking the test will be changed... It seems that I have to get Jasmine and the others to join the Light Curia as soon as possible. If this rule is abolished, it will be difficult to join again."
The butler nodded and went downstairs.
Sandro looked out of the window. He was a middle-aged man. There was a trace of worry in his eyes as he looked into the distance: "I hope nothing big will happen …"
There were twelve figures sitting in the hall of the Philan family. They were the elders of the 12th district. The elder who was killed by Dean had been replaced by someone else. A black-haired teenager and a slender woman were sitting in the hall. The hall was silent. There seemed to be a palpitating force shrouding everyone's body.
Dean looked at Philan who was the patriarch of the Philan family: "General Philan, please take a seat."
Philan Cox was flattered. "Thank you, Mr. Chairman."
An attendant immediately ran up and offered a seat.
Dean looked at him. The loyalty of Philan family to the dark church didn't happen overnight. Their ancestors had been loyal to the dark church. The most respected female general was a member of the dark church. She had killed countless barbarians with the secret help of the dark church.
Therefore, the Phelan family had been working for the Dark Church for generations. They were the biggest chess piece of the Dark Church in the military. This was one of the reasons why the dark church held an elder meeting in the Felan family.
"I'm sure everyone knows about the Dark Moon Plan." Dean looked at the twelve elders and said in a cold voice: "The dark church and the Holy Church will be united as one after the new pope ascends to the throne. We will be in charge of the Holy Church in the future. You don't have to live in the dark anymore. I believe that the military and magistrate will submit to us once the Holy Church falls into our hands."
He said 'we' instead of 'me'. It was just a word difference but many people secretly noticed it. Although they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but there was a trace of excitement and expectation in their hearts.
"All of this is due to the efforts of the president. I will listen to any orders from the president!" One of the strong men said in a sonorous voice. Everyone was in awe of Dean because they were afraid of him. But now they had more faith and expectation. After all, once the new pope ascends to the throne in a short period of time, the Holy Church won't be the opponent of the dark church but the servant of the dark church!
They had been suppressed by the Holy Church for a long time. This kind of thing was only occasionally thought about in their dreams. They didn't dare to think about it at ordinary times. But now it would become a reality!
How could they not be excited?!
Dean nodded: "The civilians don't know enough about the new pope. I hope that you will implement the Dark Moon Plan in full. In addition to the highest core chess pieces, there is no need to hide the chess pieces that we have placed in other forces. Now is the time for them to play their role!"
"Elder, these civilians don't know anything about the new pope. Can we rely on their words alone?" Someone asked in a worried tone.
"Don't underestimate the power of authority!" Dudian said in a cold voice: "There was a very good example. A deacon of the magistrate didn't investigate in detail and easily judged a case. He said that the defendant was guilty. He said that the wronged person was really guilty. No one would believe that a deacon would judge a wrong case. This is the power of authority! "
The person who spoke before was silent.
"Elder, will we be able to rule the entire outer wall after the Holy Church falls into our hands?" A young man who had replaced the 'Night King', one of the three kings, asked in an expectant tone.
Dean indifferently glanced at him: "The other forces aren't fools. They haven't acted yet because they aren't sure. Sooner or later they will know that the Holy Church is under our control after the new pope succeeds the throne. Don't forget that they will have their eyes and chess pieces in the Holy Church and us."
Everyone looked at each other as they heard the words.
Dean raised his hand to suppress the commotion: "You don't have to doubt each other. The outer wall will fall into our hands sooner or later. It's useless even if they know about it. Who can stop us from joining forces with the Holy Church?"
"The chairman is right." Someone immediately agreed.
The prestigious King of Swords immediately expressed his opinion. "The Speaker is right. If the Light Church joins forces with us, the military will not be able to withstand a single blow. As for the Inquisition and the Hall of Knights, hmph, they are just paper tigers. In the past, they were only able to gain a foothold with the military and the Light Church. Now that the Light Church has fallen, they can only surrender!"
"Well said!"
Everyone was excited and happy.
Dean saw that everyone was in high spirits so he explained his plan. He also set up a precaution against the interference of the inner wall. Everyone was in awe as they saw that Dean was so thoughtful. After all, it wasn't as simple as they thought. Once the outer wall was unified then the biggest problem they would face would be the inner wall.
However, no one dared to speak out their worries. It would be tantamount to pouring cold water on them and offend Dean.
He was a person who dared to kill the Night King. It wouldn't be worthwhile if they provoked him and got killed.
However, this worry slowly disappeared after listening to Dean's plan.
"Great chairman's considerations are truly comprehensive." An elder said with a soft sigh, full of admiration.
"I've seen the chairman's strategy and talent when I was in the 9th region. It's really admirable!" Hawkeye who was sitting in the seat of the 9th region complimented.
Dean waved his hand: "If everyone remembers then the meeting is over."
Everyone got up and left one after another.
