The thoughts of the Roman Emperor were unknown to others in the Roman Empire.
After they arrived at the imperial palace of the Roman Empire, they began to discuss how to deal with Lin Tian's army with the Roman Emperor.
"Your Majesty, that army is so powerful, how should we respond?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! This army cannot be underestimated. The twenty thousand strong Crusade army was defeated by them. If we are not careful, we may be in big trouble!!"
"Your Majesty, do you have a plan to deal with this enemy army?"
In fact, many people already had their own ideas about how to deal with Lin Tian's army.
Their idea was very simple: concentrate all the strength of the Roman Empire and then destroy Lin Tian's army.
They believed that although Lin Tian's army could resist the twenty thousand strong Crusade army, it certainly could not resist all the armies of the Roman Empire.
After all, the number of armies in the Roman Empire far exceeded that of the twenty thousand strong Crusade army.
Moreover, knowing the outcome of the twenty thousand strong Crusade army, they would naturally be more cautious.
Therefore, although they were asking the Roman Emperor, their hearts were already thinking of persuading their Emperor to mobilize all the armies of the Roman Empire later.
The Roman Emperor was actually aware of their thoughts.
But knowing it did not mean he would do it.
What he most wanted to do was to seize this opportunity to take down the Roman Pope.
Thus, the Emperor of the Roman Empire spoke at this time.
"It is indeed not easy to deal with that army. The defeat of the twenty thousand strong Crusade army by them further proves their extraordinary strength."
"Therefore, for this matter, we must concentrate the strength of our entire Roman Empire to ensure that they are completely resolved without any mistakes!"
"Therefore, I intend to recruit more soldiers to join this campaign, to ensure that this campaign is foolproof!!"
"More soldiers??"
Hearing this, many people were confused.
Because there were not few soldiers in the Roman Empire at this time.
Although they lost two cities and tens of thousands of soldiers,
If they truly mobilized soldiers, they could assemble an army of 300,000.
Their 300,000 strong army to deal with Lin Tian's army of more than 100,000 was a very simple matter.
As long as they were careful enough, defeating Lin Tian's army was entirely possible.
Under such circumstances, they had no need to recruit more soldiers.
However, since their Emperor had said it, they felt a little worried.
What if Lin Tian's strength exceeded their imagination? What if their 300,000 strong army could not deal with Lin Tian's army? What would they do then?
So, in this situation, recruiting more soldiers did not seem to be a problem.
It's just that recruiting soldiers and mobilizing soldiers are different. Mobilizing soldiers only requires a military order, and the army can set off.
Recruiting soldiers, on the other hand, requires a certain amount of time for them to gather, and then send troops.
There was a big difference between the two.
So, some people began to worry about it.
"Your Majesty, recruiting more soldiers will definitely take a lot of time. During such a long time, unforeseen events may occur. I think we should gather soldiers and quickly resolve that enemy army!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Although recruiting a large army will make their numbers greater, the time consumed is also longer. Once the opportunity is missed, it will be a huge crisis for our Roman Empire!"
"Your Majesty, I actually agree with recruiting a large army, but I also think that our 300,000 strong army should be enough. With 300,000 troops, there is no problem in destroying them!!"
Many people did not want their Emperor to waste time on this matter. They should seize the opportunity to quickly defeat Lin Tian's army.
However, they did not understand their Emperor's plan.
"I know that the timing of the battle is very important, but the strength of our enemy is also evident, and no one can question this!"
"Even a slight mistake, and our army might be defeated by them, so recruiting a large army is also inevitable!"
"Therefore, I have decided to send 200,000 troops first to guard the cities near the enemy, to guard against them, and to prevent them from attacking us or escaping from the Roman Empire at any time!"
"The other 100,000 troops will go to recruit more soldiers. When all our armies are assembled, we will launch a general offensive against them!"
"Everyone, what do you think??"
Many people actually felt that this method was not proper at all.
200,000 troops, although not a small number, but do not forget that the 200,000 strong Crusade army was defeated by Lin Tian and his men.
Sending another 200,000 troops now was actually a very dangerous thing.
Although their Emperor said that the other 100,000 troops, after recruiting soldiers, would join the 200,000 troops.
But who knows how long this recruitment would take!
If it took a long time, no one knew who would win or lose.
So, some of them still felt it was not right.
"Your Majesty, I think...!"
"Alright, it's settled. We'll send 200,000 troops first. They won't engage in battle, but will hold them back first. After all our troops and the 200,000 troops have converged, we will then move against those people!!"
"Now you go and dispatch the troops! Mark, stay behind!!"
Mark was a confidant of the Roman Emperor, and the Roman Emperor kept him behind because he had something to tell him.
Mark knew this, so he stayed put obediently, waiting to receive his Emperor's orders.
After they left, the Emperor also had the guards around him withdraw.
Then, he said to Mark:
"You will be in charge of recruiting soldiers, and you will lead the 100,000 troops!"
"But, the matter of recruiting soldiers and killing enemies needs to be put aside for now. Before that, I have one more thing for you to do!"
"That is, you must seize this opportunity to kill the Roman Pope!!"
"What? Kill the Pope??"
The Roman Emperor's words directly startled the general named Mark.
The identity of the Roman Pope was only slightly lower than that of the Roman Emperor.
In the hearts of many people, the Roman Pope's identity was even higher.
To be ordered to kill such a high-ranking and powerful person made him extremely shocked and afraid.
