From this shining hall of Saint White, you can see the entangled pattern of the Holy Tree Dynasty's royal power and the power of the Church.

The bloodlines of the Glorious Lord God and other people in the heavenly realm are circulating in the royal family. Because of this, most of the users of the heavenly armed forces in the past dynasties were from royal blood. Holy war angels such as Uriel, Gabriel and Raphael simply became a structure passed down from generation to generation.

The cabinet meeting was originally an internal meeting of the dynasty, but in fact, cabinet members composed of prime ministers, military affairs and interior affairs, as well as four great dukes, could only sit on the right side of the long table, and on the left was the seat of church personnel.

In cabinet meetings, the church also has a say and can even exercise its voting rights in matters involving the Church of Light.

However, the left side of this meeting seemed empty, and there were seven seats with the Pope and St. Martin. Others such as Lufield and St. Thomas, who were supposed to be in the list, were not present.

The dynasty emperor looked about fifty years old and had a obviously fat figure, but he was not as good as Philip.

After Philip used his strength to defeat the rising sun, his motto of appetite determining strength set off a wave of fat as beauty among the mainland nobles. Not many people who intentionally gain weight, but many fat people can look up and walk from now on.

The emperor of the Holy Tree Dynasty was named Louis XIII. He was not stupid, but he had never done anything dazzling. In fact, under the restraint of the Church of Light, it was not easy for previous emperors to make a difference.

Louis XIII sat down at the end of the long table, first glanced at the people present. He sat on his right hand, while his left hand was empty.

Seeing this scene, Louis XIII showed an unaware smile, then raised his face and gently tapped the table, and the cabinet meeting began.

A great duke said first: "Richar must be severely punished! The crime of murdering the dynasty marquis must not be forgiven. Otherwise, once this precedent is opened, wouldn't it be a threat to all the nobles of the dynasty?"

Another great duke accompanied him and said, "We should seriously consider the war."

This is how the last two cabinet meetings began.

After two fierce discussions, it was already a consensus to severely punish Richard, but there were serious differences on how to severely punish him.

The two great dukes from the south and military ministers advocated the dynasty and nobles to go to Arcmond to fight. However, the two great dukes and interior ministers in the north strongly opposed it. They believed that the dynasty and the church should send troops together, and even the church's power could be the main force.

The differences between the two sides are actually obvious at a glance. The Minister of Military Affairs was also from southern nobles, and the south was very far away from Richard. When the dynasty sent troops, the main force was the private army of the major lords.

But the problem is that the lords in the north have been fighting with Archmond for more than a year or two. At that time, Alice gradually accumulated territory and resources through the war with the northern nobles of the Holy Tree Dynasty and climbed to the position of Count.

After Richard took office, Alice suddenly became strong and powerful. She needed to have a number of troops and equipment. If she wanted to build a knight, she had a knight. For a moment, she had a border lord headed by Duke Solam in the north suffered a lot.

Later, when Archmond broke out from the Holy Alliance, an Allied War broke out, and the "Ukrainian War" triggered by Marquis Brahms. In the two wars, Richard severely damaged the lords of the northern part of the Holy Tree Dynasty, and the lords' private army suffered a total of more than 400,000 losses!

It can be said that the northern nobles were already a little scared by Richard. In the past, when Alice led the army, the two sides could still tug-of-war and win and lose in several rounds. But when the war came to Richard, the Archmond army became completely flawless, and its combat power was soaring. Even if it was two to one, it would be defeated. How could this be fought?

Therefore, the two great dukes in the north firmly disagree with the plan of sending troops mainly based on the dynasty. Under this plan, no matter how much the south is, the troops deployed will be limited, and the losses will eventually be the north. The northern and southern nobles of the dynasty are not harmonious. Once the power is unbalanced to a certain extent, other situations may arise without any intention.

Although the meeting proposed a plan to send troops from the church, the Pope looked drowsy and said that such things must be decided at the Cardinal Conference.

However, everyone knows that in the last battle of the Ukrainian War, all the cardinals of the church died. When will they get the resolution of the Cardinal Council?

The cabinet ministers and lords looked at Martin and the pope with a strange look.

At that time, in the end of the World War, hundreds of thousands of noble private troops were present, and everyone saw that the war actually turned into a civil war in the church.

At that time, the Pope and the Son who fought to the death were like nothing happened in a blink of an eye, sitting together to attend a cabinet meeting, which made people feel awkward no matter how they looked.

In the end, the meeting was stuck on the issue of how to send troops.

Seeing that the cabinet meeting this week was about to end again, a great duke from the north snorted heavily and looked at St. Martin, and his eyes gradually became sharp: "His Highness St. Martin, I heard that in the battle that day, you were actually fighting on Richard's side. Now when discussing how to punish Archmond, the church is always ruling responsibility. It is not the reason for you, right?"

"Finally I'm talking about it." St. Martin stretched, sat up straight, and looked back at the great duke. His face was always smiling, but this glance made the great duke in the north suddenly shudder!

St. Martin's eyes swept over the lords and the three ministers in front of him, and then said to Louis XIII: "My Majesty, I admit that when the war broke out, there were conflicts within our church. However, that war was a disagreement within the church. Simply put, we, as servants of the Lord, had a disagreement on how to better implement the will of the Lord of Glory, but the disagreement was a bit big."

All the lords looked disapproving of Martin's statement.

The differences are indeed a bit big, so big that they have lost all four jihad angels, one archangel, and all the cardinals. It is indeed difficult to make it bigger.

At this time, St. Martin smiled and asked, "Sir, are you interested in participating in the differences in the church?"

The Grand Duke and the Ministers suddenly felt a little nervous. They participated in the church internal struggle? They didn't have this idea.

The lords and ministers who could sit here knew the bad debt behind the church. On the surface, it was a war between the pope and the Son, but in fact it was definitely a battle between the various factions in the heavens who fought behind the scenes. Of course, it would be better to have less trouble in this kind of mixed water.

Seeing the lord retreating, Martin smiled and said, "It was indeed a dispute within the church at that time, and Richard was just willing to stand on my side. As for his killing of Marquis Brahms, it was later, and this matter has nothing to do with me."

Since St. Martin has made his attitude clear, all the lords breathe a sigh of relief.

What they had been worried about before was this unfathomable Son. Everyone knew the result of the internal war in the church. St. Martin could be said to have won a great victory. Just wait for a suitable opportunity to force the Pope to abdicate, and he would transform from the Son into the Pope. If the Church of Light insisted on standing on Richard's side, then the punishment would be left to nothing.

St. Martin said slowly at this time: "I must remind you that Archmond's strength was almost completely undamaged. The private army of the lords in the north suffered heavy losses. Is it appropriate to be eager to start a war now?"

This is actually the reason why the two great dukes in the north strongly opposed the dynasty's war. They need time to rest and recuperate.

At this time, the Military Minister coughed and said in a deep voice: "His Son's words are very reasonable. In the Ukrainian War, Archmond's losses were far less than the losses they should have. The noble lords in the north need time to re-arm their troops. So what we need now is time. I suggest that all lords in the north rebuild their troops, and in addition to providing half of the weapons and equipment, each duke should also provide two planes for a year's source of troops and hand them over to the lords in the north. What do you think?"

"Very good suggestions!" The two great dukes in the north agreed immediately, and the pressure on their expansion of the army was reduced by one third at once.

The two great dukes in the south thought for a while and thought it was very appropriate. After all, if they did not work hard, the north would definitely not be willing to move troops. If they wanted to use Archmond's hand to weaken the north, no one would be fooled with such an obvious trap.

The Minister of Internal Affairs said: "Our dynasty has a total of 22 dukes, and there are more than 60 planes that can provide military sources. How can I compete with us for the potential of war with Archmond? I agree with this plan. Even if I give Richard some breathing time, it's nothing. Time will stand on our side."

St. Martin simply applauded and praised: "Genius and wonderful advice! I agree."

The resolution agreed on this that it would take half a year to re-enlarge the military training. After half a year, the Holy Tree Dynasty will formally hold Richard accountable for the killing of Marquis Brahms.

The cabinet meeting ended, and this difficult puzzle finally came to a solution at this meeting.

At the end of the meeting, St. Martin insisted on leaving the last one. After all the lords and the pope left, he left the Hall of Shining of Saint White. Looking at the backs of everyone, there was something else in his smile.

Time, is it really on the side of these lords?

St. Martin suddenly shrugged and left quickly.

The result was quite good, and for him, he exchanged for three free Midalen with just a few clever words, and the deal seemed quite cost-effective.

When Richard returned to Norland from Greenson, it didn't take long.
