Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 135 Roland's Horn

Holy City, Vatican.

St. Peter's Basilica.

In the small three-meter-square quiet room, on a small white oak table, there was a small statue of the Valkyrie. The sunlight came in from the round window, and sprinkled on the white statue of the Valkyrie, reflecting a hazy white light.

On the ground in front of the statue of the Valkyrie, there was an exquisite kneeling rug, and the white-haired Patriarch Richelieu was kneeling on this kneeling rug, closing his eyes, praying silently, and waiting silently.

Waiting for the summoning of the Holy City Cardinals.

He has been in the holy city for several months, but he has been busy and worked hard, paid a lot of money, met many big people, and got some verbal guarantees, but he knew that none of these depended on Spectrum, what really determines his fate is the ongoing meeting of cardinals or the decision to be made in the conference room.

After retreating under the Pope's crown all the year round and ignoring world affairs, the four distinguished cardinals and the cardinals formed by them held a council of cardinals, covering the entire continent, the highest decision-making center of the Christian Valkyrie power.

Because of this tragic failure, he was no longer able to attack the honorable seat that was about to be vacant, and instead was about to be determined by them in his future fate.

All because of his failure!It was a total failure!
After the revolutionary army gained the support of many city lords and lords, defeated the royalist army at the racetrack, broke through the obstacles, and escaped from birth, he knew that everything was over.

Struggling to death, the weak lines of defense he had built were useless, they were broken in one blow, and then the revolutionary army pointed straight at Paris, causing the great "God on Earth Plan" in his heart to be aborted just as it started .

This damned Napoleon, why is he still alive?Why is this damn revolutionary army so tenacious?This damned revolutionary party, why did you rescue that damned Napoleon?This damned judge, why did the gang of revolutionaries run out of Paris?Damn it. Damn it all!
How perfect is my plan, destroying the royal family, supporting puppets, gathering strength, and driving away the stupid British, so that this wonderful land, that huge country will be completely under the control of the holy religion, and under my control Down!If we continue our strength, destroy that Germany, those small countries, and then expedition to England, the entire continent will eventually belong to our Holy See, and will eventually become a great kingdom of God on earth!I will also replace that old and immortal St. Matthew, get the holy name, and become a cardinal!After the Pope crowned the gods, it may not be impossible to peek at the supreme throne!
What a wonderful, bright future this is.But, but, they were all ruined by those incompetent, damned judges who deserved to go to hell!

My future, everything about me, is ruined because of their incompetence!
*********************
In the resplendent and resplendent hall, made of gold and decorated with precious stones, four people were already seated on the five extremely luxurious chairs.

Only the tallest and most luxurious throne in the middle is empty.

Four noble cardinals in red robes and gold rims were sitting on the other four chairs, discussing something.

In the huge, empty, and incomparably luxurious hall, except for the four people on the chairs, there were no other people, no attendants, and no guards.

Only the words of their discussion were clearly audible in the hall:
"In my opinion, the plan is unreliable from the very beginning. Conversion and belief are very difficult things. It takes enough time to cultivate piety. The Kingdom of God can be established without such high pressure and persecution."

"Actually, it went relatively smoothly at the beginning. The key is Napoleon and the revolutionary army. If we could support some forces at the beginning, we could actually extinguish their resistance."

"What's the use of talking about it now? It's too late. They've grown bigger. It's not so easy to eradicate them."

"Alas, this Richelieu has been calculating shrewdly all his life, but finally failed. It seems that the glory of Lord Valkyrie has not come to him."

"That's because he was trying to be brave and refused to ask us for help. Alas, if he had come to ask for help from the beginning and killed all the revolutionary army, he might have succeeded."

"He wants to eat alone. After so many years of hard work, it's understandable that he doesn't want us to pick peaches."

"Anyway, the plan has failed, so don't make any excuses. He will stay in the Holy City in the future. It just so happens that Castel Sant'Angelo needs an experienced manager."

"That's not good. He is considered a martial saint anyway. It's not suitable to be a teacher. I think it's better to let it out. See if there is a vacancy for the patriarch of a small country, and just send it over."

"Leave it out? Is it a shame to let it out? If you are a loser, you can stay in the holy city."

"Okay, second, but this position can be discussed. I don't think it's suitable to be a teacher. Isn't there a shortage of people in the court? He just happens to have some strength, so he can make the best use of it."

"Seconded."

"Well, that's it, second."

"Then let's discuss the issue of France. Although Richelieu brought most of his devout believers to the holy city to take refuge at the last moment, he preserved his strength and avoided certain losses. But now there are ten Holy Sees in various cities in France. In Jiukong, there are very few devout believers, but most of them have been severely suppressed, even brutally suppressed. It can be said that the power of the holy religion in France has been fundamentally destroyed, and France has become a land of unbelief. If this continues , can’t do it.”

"This is easy to handle, just send a new Patriarch over there. Don't they dare not accept it?"

"Well, the relationship between everyone is stiff now. Even if you send it, you should be more tactful. You can send an envoy or something to communicate, and say that what happened before was Richelieu's own idea, and it has nothing to do with us. Our internal meeting If we deal with him, everyone will have a step down."

"Well, you can also bring back those believers from France. It's not a problem to eat and drink for free in the holy city."

"You can't take all of them back. Some of the strong ones can stay. It's a grace. After all, there is a shortage of people everywhere."

"That's a good proposal. Let's screen it first and keep those who are capable. For the rest, let's go back to France with the new Patriarch, and send some weaker priests to form a team for him."

"Does anyone have a recommendation for the new Patriarch?"

"The relationship is not good now. It's not suitable to send someone who is too tough. It's better to send someone with a softer personality. Of course, you still need your own strength."

"Then let me think about it. How about Fleury? He is strong enough. He has always been low-key. He has a good reputation in Austria. He has been transferred to the Patriarch of France, which is considered a high promotion."

"Actually, Gregory is fine too. He's been in the Holy City for quite a few years. Let's give him a chance this time."

While they were discussing intensely, a loud horn sounded suddenly from outside the door.

"What sound? Who is blowing the horn?" A cardinal frowned.

"No, this trumpet sound... this trumpet sound is" a cardinal stood up.

"This, shouldn't it be." Another cardinal walked towards the door.

The door was opened, and the four cardinals walked to the window and looked down from a height.

On St. Peter's Square, there stood a young man in linen clothes with an ordinary appearance. He wore a long sword at his waist and was holding a small golden horn in his hand.
