Chapter 372 The Archbishop's Inspection
Omniscient religion, general religion.
Ever since the last Archbishops' meeting, Lords Three and Five have had nowhere to vent their anger.
Especially after the merger of the Corps, all data became transparent.
Thinking back to before the merger, he, the Third Lord, was the best in the Church just based on his virus research project, an achievement that no other Lord could match. The breeding plan that was later introduced was also his work. After the merger, the situation changed instantly.
No matter in terms of troop strength, progress in cracking secrets, or the amount of land occupied, they [35th Corps] are all behind Lord Ersansi's [Central North General Corps].
The land area and number of troops that Lord Wu was so proud of were all of a sudden overturned. He had deduced the consequences, but he didn't expect that the data showed a difference of more than half!
Not to mention the two lazy guys, Lord Four and Lord Six, who occupy the least area and have almost the same military strength. They are the typical ones who fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, eating up all the territory they have and then attacking the next one. The soldiers they use are not good enough, and they don't even clean up their subordinates' brains before using them. They call it fun?
As for Lord Er, he hid himself so deeply, occupying the largest area. The number of his divine guards was at least 40, excluding Lord Siliu's!
All the archbishops were deceived by him. At the beginning, Lord Er said that he would bite off the hard and big bone of Zhongbei, and he did bite off the bone, but he lost almost all his troops. The reported strength of his troops was only a few thousand people. It was good enough that he could defend Zhongbei. Who would have thought that he occupied 9 of them!
"Really? All's fair in war!!" Lord Wu angrily squeezed the tablet in his hand. His right hand suddenly turned into a ball of fire, instantly burning the tablet to ashes.
It would be a lie for Lord Wu to say that he had no regrets. It turns out that he was on the wrong side.
It is obvious that he is of the same kind as Lord Er, and is keen on occupying land. Occupying land is so good, not only does it increase the military strength, but the amount of energy harvested is also considerable.
But on second thought, it's no wonder that he chose to be tied together with the Third Master. According to the previous situation, the Third Master's research results have long-term impact. He is a person who looks at the overall situation and cannot be bound by temporary changes.
If so, he might be a little bit short of Lord Er's overall perspective?
At this time, there were two knocks on the door, and then the person outside pushed the door open and walked in.
Lord Wu had his back to the door, and within his range of perception, nothing could escape his sight.
"Third Lord, is there something wrong?" Lord Wu said calmly.
When Lord Third saw the remaining ashes on the ground, Lord Wu did not use his usual sarcastic tone.
He arrived at the right time.
"Yes, of course there is something wrong. I was too angry just now. After I went back and thought about it carefully, we still have a way to turn the situation around."
Lord Wu turned around slowly. Lord San's words aroused his interest and a hint of suspicion: "Oh? What method?"
The Third Lord curled the corners of his mouth, walked to the chair, sat down comfortably, and pretended to be mysterious, which rekindled the anger that the Fifth Lord had just suppressed.
Because the archbishops must obey the orders given by the omniscient God.
Lord San knows that he must now rely on Lord Wu's army strength. Not counting his black-robed envoy Ye Ze, his current four armies add up to only more than 4 troops. He must stabilize Lord Wu. At this time, they cannot have any disloyalty, no matter whether it is true or false, maintaining the relationship on the surface is also a kind of maintenance.
"Master Wu, the matter is a done deal. There is no point in thinking about it. Being at a disadvantage temporarily does not mean that you will always be at a disadvantage in the future. Master Er is holding two time bombs. You and I know the temperaments of Master Si and Master Liu very well."
Lord Wu was somewhat persuaded and sat on a chair at the side. Although he kept a certain distance from Lord Third, the distance was almost 2 meters shorter than before.
Seeing Lord Wu sitting down, Lord San's eyes flashed with a gleam of success in controlling the other party, and then said: "It's a temporary relationship. It's normal to stir up discord with each other. Even brothers have to settle accounts, let alone them."
"Aren't we two also in this kind of relationship, Third Lord?" Lord Wu stopped pretending and spoke openly in a sarcastic tone.
The Third Lord was stunned for a moment, then he put on his familiar smooth smile and said, "Master Wu, we are different from them. We share a common interest. You see, the merger of the Corps will only benefit Master Siliu, but not harm him. Why are they willing to join Master Er? It's because they get a lot. Who would complain about too much benefit? But what about Master Er? What can he get?"
"Find...what..." Lord Wu began to think, and soon he figured it out.
"Huh, so that's how it is. Lord Er has a good plan."
"So, it would be beneficial for us to slightly sow discord among Lord Er San Si and the others. As long as they have internal disputes, their strength will inevitably be damaged. By that time, we will be well prepared and it will be easy to turn the situation around."
Lord Wu tilted his head, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"It's not that easy to instigate this."
"It's not difficult to just mention it at the next Archbishops' meeting." The Third Lord said confidently.
Lord Wu nodded slowly. "That sounds feasible. As for the instigation, let's try it as Lord Three said. However, I think we shouldn't do it at the Archbishops' Conference. It would be best if Lord Four and Lord Six knew about it accidentally or by chance."
"Oh, that's good. For those two lazy bastards, this method of implanting it into their brains will be more effective."
After listening to the conclusion of the Third Master's solution, Lord Wu stood up.
"Master Wu, have you ever thought about bringing Master Yi in as well?" Master San patted the dust on his robe and spoke slowly.
When Lord Wu heard this, he sat back down and wanted to pull Lord Yi into their formation. What a joke, he had no troops, no research, nothing. He was an old man with disabled legs and feet. He only had a loud voice and acted as a messenger. He survived by relying on the tribute handed in by other archbishops. This old man didn't complain about anything.
"Let Lord Layi come in? Lord San, you don't know the situation or you are asking for trouble." Lord Wu frowned, his face full of disgust.
The Third Lord said slowly, "Master Wu, how can you only look at the surface? Yes, Master Yi has no real strength except for talking with a lot of energy, and he will not side with one of our archbishops, but don't forget that the resources are managed by the Omniscient God. If we pull him over, he will definitely be of some help in the future. We just need to promise him some benefits, which is not difficult."
Lord Wu stroked his chin, his eyes gradually became sharp, and he began to think seriously about Lord Third's words.
After a while, he slowly said, "What you said does make some sense. Then go ahead and win over Lord Yi."
"Hey, the 35th Corps consists of two of us after all, so you have to do the instigation. You have to contribute."
Lord Wu frowned and snorted coldly, "Okay, I'll do the instigation, but you have to be careful when you try to win over Lord Yi. If you fail, don't blame me for turning hostile."
"You have done enough quarrels, Lord Wu. Let's go. We need to inspect the environment after the corps merger. After the inspection, I have to go back to the chief instructor." After saying that, Lord San stood up, opened the door and walked out, turning back to wait for Lord Wu to go together.
The two archbishops walked side by side. Lord Wu thought for a moment on the way and said, "After the inspection, let's go back to the Grand Church to win over Lord Yi. It may take some time to change his attitude.
