Duke Leonor took a sip of red wine from his glass and said, "Even if there is some secret deal between the Heavenly Cult and the Parthian Empire, it should not be targeted at your Toulouse Empire.
After all, the Parthian Empire is not a purely Western country. The Pope of the Heavenly Church should still understand the difference between close and distant. "
Duke Carlo shook his head and said, "I have no confidence in the Pope of the Heavenly Cult. If it weren't for your Apulia Empire taking the initiative, our Toulouse Empire wouldn't even be willing to join this Eastern Expedition organized by the Heavenly Cult."
The Apulian Empire can be said to be the undisputed overlord of the Western Continent. If the Apulian Empire had not been distracted by the barbarians in the western wilderness, perhaps many countries in the Western Continent would have disappeared by now.
Duke Leonor took another sip of red wine and said, "No matter what, this Eastern Expedition is an opportunity for all the countries in our Western Continent.
Everyone is well aware of the prosperity of the East Continent.

Of course, our Apulia Empire must get involved in such a good thing."
Duke Carlo hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice. "Duke Leonor, I heard that your Apulian Empire is planning a major operation against the barbarians in the western wilderness."

The Apulian Empire hopes that the attention of all countries in the Western Continent will be drawn to the Eastern Expedition Army so that the Apulian Empire's actions in the Western Wasteland can be carried out smoothly.
