Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

"Your Majesty, this is all the information that the old empire has unearthed."

Alberto took the information from his subordinates and stroked his chin to ponder it.

This is another intelligence line independent of Cassius, and it is a secret line controlled by the Angevin royal family that Alberto has not activated for a long time.

It has to be admitted that the remnants of Cassius' old empire were indeed very useful, and Alberto had always regarded Cassius as a friend, but while Alberto was Cassius' friend, he was also the King of Anjou.

Alberto did not doubt Cassius's loyalty, but no matter how loyal Cassius was, Alberto could not just sit back and do what Cassius was promoting.

The latest research results and huge profits have obscured the contradictions in Anjou’s development today, but just because they can’t be seen doesn’t mean they have disappeared, just like the contradictions Alberto is now seeing in the secret intelligence.

Obviously, the intelligence handed over by the Angevin royal family's secret line was very targeted at Cassius, and a lot of space was used to accuse Cassius and those great nobles of colluding with the Church of the God of War.

Alberto put this information aside.

Cassius did have his own agenda, but he was generally loyal, and the research results speak for themselves.

Alberto once carefully studied what Cassius called the old imperial technology, which seemed to involve human consciousness and soul.

The researchers below once explained to Alberto that this technology uses biological means to connect the souls of these warriors to each other through the ocean of consciousness. Although it is not yet possible to connect deeply into the ocean of consciousness, it has reached the common level of the old empire.

Although Alberto did not know the specific technical details, he always wondered if there would be any problems if it was connected to the entire ocean of consciousness of mankind. Would it be better to create a substitute similar to the ocean of consciousness separately?

But the old empire had used this technology for so long without any problems, which should show that this technology is feasible and harmless. It's just that the process and aftermath of the surgical transformation will be very torturous, mainly causing mental pain. This is indeed the case. Some people have gone crazy because they could not bear the mental pressure, but they are only a minority after all.

Now Cassius even has a good relationship with the Church of the God of War. As long as it can improve the combat effectiveness of the warriors, the Church of the God of War has a lot of believers willing to sacrifice themselves.

It was obvious that Cassius got along well with the group of fanatics.

With the help of the Church of the God of War, Anjou's genetic warrior army has gradually begun to take shape. Coupled with the old empire's professional education system, the first batch of specialized professionals have graduated through rapid education, and there will be a steady stream of professionals coming out in the future. Although there is still a gap between these specialized professionals and real professionals, as long as they undergo transformation surgery, they can quickly become a powerful warrior.

Moreover, while the Avars were continuously sending wealth, they were also trying to carry out in-depth cooperation with Anjou. They seemed to be very interested in the technology of the old empire, but Alberto was very wary of these guests from another continent. Although Anjou was doing business with these guests and carrying out some cooperation, Alberto always controlled the nobles under his command and would not let the Avars set foot on the real core secrets.

What really worries Alberto is the Church of the God of War. After obtaining the means of genetic surgery, the Church of the God of War has an extremely high awareness of war. Although Alberto knows that the Avars and the Demons are fanning the flames behind the scenes, the rapidly developing Anjou does need a war to divert conflicts.

Anjou now has high-level professionals, genetic warriors, Avars, and dragons who are watching the situation in the dark but still say they will help. It seems that Alberto can stir up a storm with Capet at any time, just like the first continental war.

Moreover, Alberto understood that even if he used various means to avoid this war, the governor of the neighboring country would sooner or later initiate the war. The governor disliked neither the demons nor the Avars.

But Alberto was still hesitant, because Alberto keenly sensed that something was wrong with the old empire's technology.

The intelligence lines of the Royal House of Anjou, except for the use of smuggling to oppose Cassius, all the data listed are true.

Among those members of the Church of God of War who have undergone genetic surgery, there is a possibility that one out of every ten people will become a madman.

Cassius and those high-level professionals said that this was because everyone's physique was different and not everyone could withstand genetic surgery. Even in the old empire, genetic surgery had the possibility of failure, let alone now.

No one cares about those lunatics, even the Church of the God of War itself despises them because they cannot bear the gift of power.

But Alberto's intuition as a king told him that something was wrong.

This is also one of the reasons why Alberto activated this royal secret line that had been silent for a long time.

Putting aside the subjective and offensive intelligence from the secret agents, Alberto listed all the data collected by the secret agents.

Although some people who have undergone genetic surgery may not be able to withstand the mental torture and become insane, the believers of the Church of the God of War have the highest probability of going crazy.

Moreover, for those ordinary soldiers who do not believe in the God of War, the symptoms of failed genetic surgery are not madness, or they are not quite the same as madness, except that both are mental problems. Those ordinary soldiers can easily become stupid and occasionally talk nonsense, so they are easily attributed to the result of "madness".

The madness of the believers of the Church of the God of War is more like a distortion of mental breakdown after seeing something, and the deeper the faith and the higher the level of divine power, the greater the probability of going mad.

It’s just that those believers of the Church of the God of War who have a high level of divine arts generally do not undergo genetic surgery, so these data are not very obvious. Even the data in Alberto’s hands can only show that there is this trend.

Alberto let out a long sigh. Perhaps all this was just his groundless worry. After all, from Cassius to the Avars, to the nobles and the church, everyone wanted a war. They needed more land and more wealth. This situation where the privileged classes united to do something always made Alberto feel that the situation was beyond his control.

"Send the generals here and call a meeting."

Finally, Alberto gave the order.

When the Church of the God of War learned that His Majesty the King was going to summon all the generals, a twisted smile appeared on the face of a regional priest.

Finally, the war is about to begin.

The original teachings of the Church of the God of War were actually to end war with war and to use fighting to protect the weak. Like other churches, it did not have any special universal teachings.

But since some time ago, the sect of the survival of the fittest has risen within the Church of the God of War. Although the Pope at that time cleaned it up once in the name of heresy, those heretics who believed in the survival of the fittest and that only the strong deserve to have everything have quietly gained a foothold within the Church of the God of War.

After all, the God of War is the god who can bestow the most direct blessings, oracles, and even divine arts, pure power.

Therefore, those heretical doctrines that believe in the law of the jungle can easily begin to spread within the Church of the God of War.

Of course, the mainstream thought within the church is still to end war with war, and believe in using strength to protect the weak, which is somewhat similar to the doctrine of chivalry. However, recently when praying to the god of war, the regional priest suddenly received an oracle from the god of war, which was completely different from the previous oracle issued by the god of war.

"War...more war. Only war can bring our Lord to us!"
