Chapter 2264 Your presence makes me feel at ease
After listening to Wycliffe's words, Qin Yun immediately understood that the Pope of Rome attached great importance to the Calvin Gold Mine, which was a huge fortune.
Now that it has been snatched away by Qin Yun, he will definitely not let it go!
It is imperative to snatch it back from Qin Yun.
In fact, Qin Yun had thought about this when he captured Pei Saka. Pei Saka, as a man of the Pope, appeared alone in such a remote place to mine. Does this indicate the importance of this gold mine?
Now it seems that it is indeed the case!
The Kaliwen Gold Mine is indeed a large gold mine that can quickly increase the country's wealth, but for Qin Yun, it is not that important.
On the contrary, the role of the coal mine next to it will be more important.
Of course, no one would complain that they have too much money.
Therefore, whether it is the Kaliwen gold mine or the large coal mine next to it, Qin Yun will not give up any of them!
He wants them all!
Wycliffe said: "Now the Pope's people are all over the Kingdom of Laches. When I came back from studying abroad, I didn't see any missionaries from the Pope in the city before, but this time when I came back, I could see the Pope's missionaries and their followers almost everywhere I looked."
"Those towering churches have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and they can be seen in almost every town."
"It can almost be said that the Kingdom of Rakis has been 'colonized' in another sense."
At this point, Wycliffe showed a hint of bitterness on his face.
This is also an important reason why the King of the Kingdom of Lakis is eager to drive these missionaries out of the kingdom. If things continue to develop in this way, his country will become the country of the Pope of Rome, and he will just be a puppet.
Qin Yun remained silent. This kind of cultural and ideological "colonization" was more terrifying than normal invasion and colonization.
Because the invasion and colonization of ideology and culture will completely change the thinking and fighting spirit of a nation.
Once the people's minds are controlled, the country will be on the verge of destruction, and even the nation will become precarious.
Wycliffe continued, "On the surface, according to what the king said, they have at least 10,000 glorious warriors scattered across the country, and 50,000 Roman soldiers disguised as soldiers of the Kingdom of Laches pretending to guard the Kingdom of Laches."
"As for those hidden forces, even the king cannot discover them. According to conservative estimates, there may be 100,000 soldiers and horses!"
Qin Yun frowned. If the 50,000 soldiers of the Lakis Kingdom were added, there would be about 200,000 soldiers!
Plus there are 10,000 Glorious Warriors. 10,000 Glorious Warriors can be equal to 100,000 ordinary soldiers, which means there are a total of 300,000 soldiers!
In other words, the combat forces deployed by the Pope in the Kingdom of Laches alone are enough to match an army of 300,000!
"How luxurious and terrifying!" Qin Yun couldn't help but sneer.
He thought that Pesaka was just a guard sent by the Locke family to the Cullivan Gold Mine, but he did not expect that the Cullivan Gold Mine would be so valued.
But think about it, although the Cullivan gold mine is of little use to Qin Yun, for others, money is very much needed.
The reason why the Pope has been able to develop so rapidly in recent years, and even compete with the Roman emperor and occupy half of the country, is that this huge financial strength is the source of power that supports him.
The huge gold mines at Calvin provide enough annual yield to account for half of the Pope's income.
No wonder the Pope attaches so much importance to it!
Moreover, these 300,000 troops are only the apparent strength. No one knows what terrible deployments the Pope has made in secret.
It seems that the Pope is determined to take back the Cullivan gold mine!
Qin Yun sneered and said, "Interesting, I won't let you get what you want!"
"You can go down and rest first. I will gather the troops and deploy the strategy. Soon, I will send troops to the Kingdom of Laches to drive out the dogs of the Pope of Rome!"
Wycliffe showed a happy smile on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty! With the help of a true dragon like Your Majesty, my Kingdom of Lakis finally sees hope."
Afterwards, Qin Yun called Isabella again and told her in detail what Wycliffe had told him.
"The Pope's people actually secretly occupied the Kingdom of Lakis?!"
Isabella was a little surprised.
The Ptolemaic Dynasty was very close to the Kingdom of Lachis, but she didn't know anything about these things. This shows how deep the Pope's thoughts were and how big his plans were.
Qin Yun said: "The Pope's goal is to spread his sect in the Western land and recruit followers. If he is not stopped, the whole world will become his followers. By then, even the king of a country will probably be constrained."
"Like the king of the Kingdom of Laches, he has become a puppet of the Pope of Rome, to be manipulated by others."
Isabella suddenly felt a little scared: "The Pope's ambition is so great, and it seems that even the Emperor of the Roman Empire has not discovered the Pope's ambition."
"This is most likely a person as scary as the Western Alliance!"
Isabella said terrified.
You have to know that the Western Alliance is a superpower formed by the union of the five major Western superpowers. Looking across the entire West, there is almost no one who can compete with them.
Isabella compared the Pope with the entire Western Alliance, which was enough to show how terrifying this man was.
Qin Yun's eyes were extremely deep, and he nodded slowly: "The Pope of Rome should not have grown up yet. Once his strength is fully developed to the peak, the West may be in a bloody storm again!"
Isabella nodded seriously.
"Unfortunately, I must return to Daxia now to resolve the internal problems at home. Otherwise, before the foreign enemies invade, a major crisis will first appear in Daxia!"
A trace of regret flashed across Qin Yun's eyes. "Otherwise, I will definitely kill the Pope in the cradle before he grows up."
Isabella said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. You are the Great Xia Emperor who is more dazzling and brilliant than a real dragon. Even if the Pope of Rome is very powerful, I believe that he is no match for Your Majesty."
"Oh? Are you so confident in me?" Qin Yun showed a teasing smile.
Isabella blushed, but she was not as shy as Sofia and dared not speak. Instead, she raised her head and stared into Qin Yun's eyes, and said very seriously: "Yes, Your Majesty, your presence makes me feel extremely at ease!"
Qin Yun couldn't help but smile slightly. Looking at Isabella who looked shy but spoke boldly, his depressed mood suddenly improved.
Who doesn’t like the feeling of being admired?
