The news of the capture of Dante's capital quickly spread to the ears of kings of various countries like a swift storm.
For a time, the situation in various countries became tense, and the kings hurriedly convened an emergency meeting.
In front of a huge communication crystal, as the light flickered, the figures of kings appeared clearly on the crystal.
As soon as the call was connected, everyone couldn't wait to start discussing it.
Their discussions focused on two key issues.
First, where did the five elders of the Continental Congress go? Second, what methods did Martin White use to make the five elders disappear out of thin air?
Now, all the domain-level ancestors that various countries originally relied on have died, and they have no way of inquiring about the news from the Sky City. Naturally, they don’t know that the fifth elder has been sent to the duty station to guard the plane coordinates because of the Martin White incident.
During the meeting, someone sighed and suggested, "I think if this doesn't work, we should just surrender. There's no need to fight him to the death. I heard that all the members of Dante's royal family have disappeared. I don't know if they've hidden themselves in a small secret realm or been killed directly."
Someone nearby immediately took over the conversation: "Who says it's not true? I've already sent out all the intelligence personnel I can, but I haven't received any useful information so far."
At this time, another king said worriedly, "Indeed, I feel that this Martin White is inextricably linked to the Continental Congress. Otherwise, how could he have risen so quickly? I didn't pay attention a while ago, but now I see that he already has a Domain Dragon Rider."
The other king, with a look of dejection on his face, lamented, "Alas! It's all over. The kingdom's legacy is coming to an end with me."
As everyone was sighing, the Pope of the Holy Land of Starry Glory looked at them and laughed in his heart.
After a while, he felt the time was almost ripe.
He cleared his throat and slowly said, "Everyone, what do you think of the proposal I made earlier? In fact, we only need to mobilize 200,000 people from each country to have a chance of resisting Martin White's attack."
The king, who had spoken first, was displeased and interrupted the Pope, saying angrily, "Alright, stop talking! Do you really think we can't see what you're thinking? We're not fools. How could we not know what a blood sacrifice is?"
Another king echoed this, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction: "That's right! We've reached the throne. Even if we're not as smart as those extremely intelligent people, at least we're reasonable."
"Your proposal clearly aims to use blood sacrifice to lure creatures from outside the plane to this plane. The consequences are disastrous!"
Another king sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, it is indeed true. No matter how we fight, it is an internal matter of this plane. Pope, your proposal this time is really too much."
Just like that, because this key issue was completely exposed, the meeting, which was originally a heated discussion, ended abruptly.
In the Holy See of the Starry Holy Land, the Pope turned off the communication crystal with a gloomy expression.
He slowly sat down on the chair, his mind racing with thoughts on how to raise the huge amount of manpower required.
He had already given up hope on the kingdoms that participated in the meeting. Was he going to have to draw so many people from the Xingyao Holy Nation itself? Suddenly, an idea flashed on his mind - buy slaves!
That's right, that's the method. It's estimated to cost around three million gold coins, which Xingyao Shengbang can definitely afford.
Thinking of this, the Pope stood up suddenly and strode out of the room. He ordered the knights on duty outside, "Go and inform Charles to come to the Vatican to see me immediately."
After receiving the order, the knight immediately left as quickly as the wind and rushed towards Charles' residence.
The Pope returned to the office hall, sat on the throne, and waited quietly for Charles' arrival.
A few minutes later, Charles trotted all the way to the office hall. When he saw the Pope, he hurriedly performed a standard church etiquette.
The Pope waved his hand slightly and asked directly, "Char, how many gold coins can Xingyao Shengbang provide now?"
Upon hearing this, Charles frowned slightly. After making a rough estimate in his mind, he reported truthfully, "About 40 million gold coins. However, due to the daily maintenance of the believers' activities, this is the most I can give."
The Pope's gloomy mood brightened after hearing this. He solemnly instructed Charles, "Take out 10 million gold coins and buy slaves. And continue to do so."
At this point, the Pope stood up excitedly, raised his arms and shouted, "All of this is prepared for our God, you must do it with all your heart!"
Upon hearing this, Charles knelt on one knee without hesitation and declared firmly, "Your Holiness, rest assured. I will complete this mission at all costs. If I cannot accomplish this, I, Charles, will willingly return to the arms of God."
The Pope nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. Charles understood and retreated respectfully.
On this day, Xingyao Shengbang began to purchase slaves on a large scale in various places, calling it "rescuing the lambs."
Both those who knew the inside story and the public who were unaware of the situation scoffed at this move.
Ever since the Xingyao Holy Nation rose to power and took control of the kingdom, successive kings and nobles of the Western Continent have held a deep dislike for them.
However, it is undeniable that it is easy to make money by doing business with Xingyao Shengbang, which makes people feel disgusted but also have complex and tangled emotions.
In the Royal Dragon City Palace of the Dragon Ridge Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Star Shining Holy State, Martin learned about the large-scale purchase of slaves by the Star Shining Holy State.
