Soon, Milady's carriage came to a smooth stop in front of the cardinal's castle.
"Mr. Jiang Tian, we've arrived."
Milady opened the carriage door and respectfully invited Jiang Tian to get out of the carriage.
The guards at the door saw Jiang Tian arrive.
With a whoosh, the more than 100 of them quickly stood at attention.
Jiang Tian followed Milady directly to the cardinal's office.
“Mr. Jiang, my old friend, it’s a pleasure to see you.” The cardinal opened his arms and gave Jiang Tian a big hug. “I didn’t expect you to be back so soon. I’ve prepared a huge room for you on the top floor of this castle, so you can rest well here today. The little girl Milady has already said that she’d like to stay with you.”
Milady blushed instantly.
She glanced at the cardinal, then at Jiang Tian.
“My lord, the Duke of Buckingham is in the city.” Milady quickly stepped forward.
"Really? Where is he? Mr. Jiang, did you bring him here?" The cardinal's face immediately showed a hint of displeasure.
"Yes."
"He is an enemy of the Franks. We must not be lenient with an enemy. He should be executed now." The bishop was clearly very agitated.
"Don't get so agitated, my esteemed bishop."
"Now that you've killed the Duke of Buckingham, how are you going to deal with his million-strong, furious army?"
Upon hearing this, the cardinal froze in place.
He had obtained detailed intelligence from the spies.
Of the more than 500,000 troops they sent out, almost all of them died, and only a handful of people escaped back.
It should be noted that this army of 500,000 was the Frankish elite.
They still have over 100,000 troops in their country.
However, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all mediocre and incompetent.
Across the sea are a million soldiers from the British Isles.
To the north, there is also a large Germanic army lurking there, ready to make its move.
If he acts rashly, he could anger both countries.
These two countries will inevitably take action to completely eliminate them.
At that point, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It's uncertain whether he, as the bishop, will survive.
"Are we just going to let that beast Buckingham run rampant here?" The cardinal clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
He couldn't swallow this insult.
He didn't want to swallow this insult.
"Let's treat them well first, and once we've gathered our strength, we'll find a way to lure their million-strong army over and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"Mr. Jiang is right. If we can wipe out their million-strong army in one fell swoop, those fools on the British Isles will not recover even 100 years from now."
The cardinal looked excited.
"But how can we possibly deal with their million-strong army?"
Jiang Tian patted his chest.
Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was all too clear, and it couldn't be more obvious.
To deal with the enemy's million-strong army, one must rely on one's own army.
The cardinal immediately understood Jiang Tian's meaning and snapped his fingers.
Milady walked to the door.
The door opened quickly.
More than 20 people carried in more than a dozen huge boxes.
They placed the dozen or so heavy boxes in front of Jiang Tian.
Milady, the little girl, opened each of the dozen or so heavy boxes one by one.
It was filled with glittering gold coins.
"Mr. Jiang Tian, there are exactly 10 million gold coins here, not a single one more or less. Please count them quickly." The cardinal said with a smile.
Jiang Tian walked over and reached into the box full of gold coins.
Jiang Tian held up a large handful of gold coins with both hands.
It feels so good to hold this gold in your hands.
Splash!
The gold coins slipped through the gaps between his hands.
Jiang Tian casually picked up a gold coin, put it in his mouth, and gently bit it with his teeth.
The gold coin is very soft.
Jiang Tian looked at the teeth marks on the gold coin.
“Mr. Jiang, we are friends, very close friends,” the cardinal smiled slightly. “There’s no need for us to be so distant.”
I guarantee with my integrity that all 10 million US dollars you have are pure gold; not a single one is fake.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for carrying all these gold coins to my room. I will count them slowly when I get back."
The 20-odd burly men nodded, lifted the dozen or so heavy boxes, and walked out of the room, climbing upstairs.
"Mr. Jiang, how do you plan to deal with their million-strong army?"
"This is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires careful consideration. However, if you take the wrong step, your Frankish kingdom will be plunged into an abyss of no return."
When Jiang Tian said this, the cardinal was startled again.
Jiang Tian was right. Their country's main force had been annihilated, which meant that their country's lifeline was entirely in the hands of others. They could do whatever they wanted with them, and they had no ability to resist at all.
Now they could only pray that the English were unaware of the annihilation of their main force, and they also had to pray that the Germans were unaware of the annihilation of their main force.
If both nations knew that their main forces had been wiped out, whether they were Germans or English, they would rush over without hesitation.
At that time, it was simply wishful thinking and a pipe dream for them to fight against these two countries with their mere hundred thousand troops.
Jiang Tian's intentions were very clear.
Jiang Tian's intention was to annihilate the main forces of all the war-fighting nations in Europe.
The thought of that century of humiliation filled Jiang Tian with disgust for these so-called developed countries in Europe.
"Jiang Tian, my old friend, can I trust you?" The cardinal's words were full of pleading.
Jiang Tian originally intended to make fun of them.
But the thought of potentially facing millions of Da Luo soldiers and the possibility of unforeseen events made Jiang Tian pat his chest and point to the blue sky: "I swear, I will definitely help your Buckingham's million-strong allied army."
May those who break this oath be condemned by heaven and earth.
"Thank you, my old friend," the cardinal said, his voice trembling.
Jiang Tian took Milady's hand and walked out of the cardinal's office.
The cardinal watched Milady's retreating figure and said softly, "Milady, everything depends on you now."
The two returned to Jiang Tian's bedroom.
Jiang Tian looked at the dozen or so boxes, the gold coins inside gleaming in the candlelight.
Jiang Tian accepted all the gold coins without hesitation and stored them in his system space.
In an instant, all of the dozen or so boxes were empty.
Milady, the little girl, was stunned by this incredible sight.
