The response given by the Holy Church came earlier than Nadia imagined. In fact, when she was ready to make a statement to the Supreme Council, the Holy Church's response to the negotiations had already passed the Holy Word.

The document was passed to Nadia's hands again, but after reading the reply from the Holy Church, Nadia had a complicated expression.

"What's wrong? Nadia Paladin?"

Seeing Nadia's frowning expression in front of him, Oldman was worried in his heart. Could it be that the Templar Order was planning to withdraw? If that was the case, then Nadia's worried expression could give him some relief.

An answer. But what Oldman didn't expect was that after hearing his question, Nadia hesitated and then answered.

"No, the Supreme Council's answer is... to continue negotiations."

"call……………"

After hearing this, Oldman finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Supreme Council insisted on negotiating, the most serious situation he imagined would not happen. But even so, his eyes when looking at Nadia were full of doubts. After all,

The expression on the lady paladin's face just now didn't look like nothing was wrong.

"So why don't you look happy at all?"

"That's it..."

Facing Oldman's inquiry, Nadia pondered and thought about how to answer this difficult question. In the end, she hesitated for a moment and decided to speak directly.

"In fact, it was not us who proposed continuing negotiations, but the Parwood family who first proposed it."

"The Parwood family proposed it first? What are their plans?"

Although he had been mentally prepared, Oldman was still stunned when he heard this incredible answer. Like Nadia, he originally thought that the Parwood family had already begun to prepare to stop negotiations after Jenn raised the central question.

Just like what Delly thought at the beginning, since the Freedom for National Salvation Army has lost its legal legitimacy, then the Northern Alliance can directly send its troops southward, and then completely defeat the power of the Freedom for National Salvation Army and regain the lost territory.

But what Oldman didn't expect was that the other party was actually willing to continue negotiating? What was going on?

But soon, Oldman understood.

"The Parwood family proposed to negotiate with the Holy Church..."

"What?"

Oldman was shocked when he heard what Nadia conveyed. What does it mean to negotiate with the Templar Order? They are negotiating with the Templar Order, but what about the Free National Salvation Army? Where should the Free National Salvation Army be placed?

At this moment, Oldman only felt dizzy. He did not expect that things would turn out like this in the end. Originally, the Free National Salvation Army and the Parwood family were supposed to be leading the negotiations, with the Templar Order as the third party. But he did not expect that.

Only a few days later, the situation changed. The National Salvation Army was kicked aside, and the Templar Order actually became the core of the negotiations. How could things become like this?

"Nadia Paladin, what on earth is going on?!"

Thinking of this, Oldman looked at Nadia with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes. After all, he was from the militia. He was not as precise as Delly when talking about politics. For Delly, politics itself is a tortuous process.

The mountain road may take longer, or the route may be a little different. But no matter how many times you go around, as long as you can reach the destination smoothly, it is equal to victory. Any savvy politician must learn to compromise and benefit.

Exchange. And grasp the big ones and let the small ones go, shelve the dispute. Take this matter as an example. The Parwood family first wants to fight for their own interests, and then the interests of the Northern Alliance. But the other way around. If they are asked to choose one of the two, then the Parwood family will

The Wood family will give up part of their own interests to fight for the interests of the Northern Alliance. Because this political resource also carries interest, and if others borrow usury from them, there will be a day when the loan is repaid. This is very important to the Parwood family.

It can be regarded as an investment. Sometimes, retreat is also a good choice. That's why they would rather let Zhan take the lead than let the negotiations completely stalemate.

But Oldman was only born as a militiaman after all. He was somewhat unable to accept the truth that a noble lady like Delly naturally understood. This is also a shortcoming of these people who come from a rough background. They trust their emotions more than their reason.

.In their view, friends are friends and enemies are enemies. Therefore, they are quite uncomfortable with the nobles' behavior of talking and laughing in front of others and stabbing in the back. But for any kind of communication involving superiors, this is not acceptable.

It is necessary. So after learning that his National Salvation Freedom Army had been kicked away, Oldman's first reaction was to be dissatisfied with the Templar Order. In his opinion, if it weren't for the Templar Order being so powerful,

, their National Salvation Freedom Army will not be brought into the current situation.

"This is the choice of the Parwood family, and the Holy Church has no choice but to accept it."

Of course Nadia was aware of Oldman's thoughts, but she didn't know what to say. She could only sigh helplessly and answer. In fact, after spending such a long time with Oldman, Nadia

I have also noticed some of Oldman's shortcomings. Frankly speaking, Oldman is indeed very suitable to be the banner of the National Salvation Army. He is self-disciplined, sincere, has a clear sense of love and hate, and is passionate. He is very suitable to become a "xxx-style hero"

” or “the best pacesetter of xxx type”.

However, just as generals and military advisors have different responsibilities, Oldman also has an unsatisfactory side. The opposite of being clear about love and hate is being a man without leaving any room. What he hates are his enemies, and what he likes are all his friends.

.And Nadia discovered that Oldman is actually very controlling. In fact, to be fair, the reason why the National Salvation Freedom Army can have the power it has now is not because of how strong Oldman is, but because of how powerful Oldman is.

Because he has always followed James' instructions before he died. This is also the good side of Oldman's emphasis on emotion. You must know that in the National Salvation Army, James was no less popular than him. It has been replaced by other conceited commanders.

Official, maybe after James's "death", he would try to overturn all the plans he had made. But Oldman did not do this, but conscientiously followed James' plan to the limit, so he saved the country and was free.

Only the military can do what it does now.

It's a pity that James is not an omniscient god after all, who can always give advice and help to Oldman, so after Oldman completed the task according to James' instructions, he found that he didn't know what to do next.

For example, this is like a person saving money to buy a car. Instead of starting with the lowest-level car, he picked up rubbish and built a Bugatti. And when he got this luxury sports car with pride,

, I looked around and realized that although everyone has four wheels, how to run... there is still something to pay attention to!

Now Oldman is like a rookie driver who immediately drives a luxury sports car after riding a bicycle. He drove the National Salvation Army car in such a weird way that it was a miracle that it didn't hit the roadside and overturn.

"But, are you, the Holy Church, still afraid of the Parwood family?"

"We are indeed not afraid of a certain noble, but what we have to face is the noble class on the entire continent!"

After experiencing so much, Nadia has become a lot more mature. Some of the things Zhan said to her before sounded harsh at the time, but now they make sense in retrospect. She was still a trainee paladin before.

At that time, Nadia may not have been able to understand the decision of the Supreme Council, but now, she found that she was able to put herself in the shoes of the Order.

Perhaps, some things really cannot be rushed.

"Then what should we, the National Salvation Army, do?"

Oldman is not usually so impulsive, but now, he has to be. In fact, Oldman is not stupid. He knows very well that if both parties in this negotiation kick off their National Salvation Freedom Army, then they will really

It has become garbage with no use value.

Maybe Oldman can't see the big picture, but he still has a common sense of smell for the immediate stakes.

"I can't help it."

Nadia can only tell the truth. After all, she is a paladin of the Templar Order, and she is also the representative of the Templar Order here. Although Zhan's intervention completely disrupted their original layout, at the moment

Nadia had no other choice. However, she thought of a good way.

"However, I think you can go talk to Miss Tilis and the others."

"Tillis?"

Hearing Nadia's answer, Oldman was obviously a little puzzled, but fortunately he was not a real fool. In the blink of an eye, Oldman immediately reacted and then punched his fist hard.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?!"

Indeed, as Nadia said, the Templar Order has their own concerns, but Tiliss and the Enclave behind her are different. Although the Templar Order has also provided a lot of assistance to the National Salvation Army, it is not the same as the Enclave.

Lei is incomparable. You must know that they spent an almost sky-high amount of money on the Free National Salvation Army, a large amount of standard equipment, food and material support. If the Free National Salvation Army is finished, the most unlucky thing is

Oldman, but the Enclave!

Although I don’t know what this force wants to do, it must have an extremely strong background to be able to spend so much money. If it can rely on this background, maybe there is still a chance for the Freedom of National Salvation Army! After all, it is to save the country and freedom.

The army has made a lot of efforts. If the Free National Salvation Army collapses, then all the money spent by the Enclave will be basically wasted.

And this is definitely not what the other party wants to see.

"Thank you, Nadia Paladin, I'll go now!!"

Thinking of this, Oldman became more and more excited. He hurriedly apologized, and then rushed out of the room quickly. Looking at Oldman's retreating back and the door that kept shaking, Nadia frowned.

She frowned and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, Nadia said nothing and just sighed helplessly. At this time, for some reason, Nadia suddenly felt a little regretful.
