"What! you say the city of 'Monte' has been breached?" the Pope nearly jumped from his exalted throne.

"Your Holiness the Pope, to be precise, Bishop Boniel was breached the day after he arrived in Monteon...... "One of the cardinals had a gloating look on his face. Many bishops in the temple looked down on this colleague who had jumped two levels in three years, although they did not know about his affair with the Pope, but the usual attitude of Bonnel in front of the Pope had already caused their dissatisfaction. Even the last time he 'draw' lots, it was the archbishops who 'yin' him and deliberately let him 'draw'.

"There are more than 2,000 'elite' soldiers in 'Meng' Guocheng, and there are more than 20 level 8 powerhouses to assist in the defense, how can it be defeated so quickly?" No matter how powerful the Crusaders were, they couldn't have stormed the city so quickly, right?

Because Benel did not obey the Pope's orders, he ordered the garrisons of the city to go out of the city to meet them. As a result, the generals of the former royal family rebelled against the 'rebellion', fought back, broke open the 'gate' of the 'Meng' Guocheng, and attacked the 'Meng' Guocheng together with the rebels of the Crusaders. Lord Bonnier was sniped by the other Son, and fled back to the fortress of Mada alone, leaving the troops in the city uncommanded and defeated. A cardinal was quick to answer the pope's question.

"The rebels have only 300 men, and the remnants of the former royal family are only 800 people. Of course, there are more than 1,000 soldiers and 10 or so level 8 powerhouses in the city, and if they resist desperately, they may not lose the city. In this battle, Bishop Bonnier could not escape the blame...... "The purpose of these cardinal archbishops is to get the Pope to punish Bonnier. It seems that Benniel's usual colleague relationship is really not very good.

"Now it's not about who to be offended! It's about finding a way to resist the rebels!" The Pope shouted angrily: "Booneel was originally elected by you, but now he is guilty, and none of you can escape from it! I want you to choose a person who presides over the overall situation, not for you to choose a person to take the blame! When is this happening, I know exactly what little calculations you have in your hearts!"

This Benel's wife is a wonderful man...... Defeat is defeat anyway, and Boneill's punishment will not save anything. Then, just punish him a little......

"Summoning Bonnel back to the temple to await punishment. You nominate another person to preside over the overall situation, and if there is anything wrong this time, all of you will be punished!" the Pope snorted coldly and looked at the people below solemnly.

The cardinals below looked at each other, but this time they were shooting themselves in the foot and setting themselves on fire.

In the middle of the ring, a cardinal came out and said cautiously: "My subordinates think that His Excellency the Pope should report this matter to His Highness the Lord of Light as soon as possible." Only if our lord intervenes can he order the Knights and the Inquisition to send reinforcements. The temple is now largely unoccupied...... None of you here know anything about military affairs, and whoever goes there will probably end up like Lord Bonnel. The remnants of the former royal family are also unreliable at the moment, so naturally they can no longer be dispatched. If the Motor Fortress is breached again, the matter will be irreparable. ”

"But God has already commanded me not to call him again until the time of the baptism of the Holy Maiden. "The Pope actually wanted to tell the God of Light about this, but he always had concerns.

"The stakes are even more important than the baptism of the Holy Woman. If the rebels once attack the Holy Capital, the consequences will be unimaginable. The cardinals all nodded yes.

"If there is another catastrophe of the Holy Capital...... I fear that my lord will be very angry when he finds out. Another bishop added.

"And this time someone has falsely claimed to be the Son and blasphemed my Lord, so it is inevitable that such a matter must be reported to my Lord as soon as possible. Another bishop chimed in.

"While the current strength of the rebels is not yet in the climate, as long as the Inquisition and the Knights send troops at the same time, I believe that the rebels can be eliminated soon. Now that all the cities in the north are occupied by the rebellious crusaders, after a long time, they will cultivate their 'essence' and accumulate their strength, and they will 'bewitch' people's hearts, and it will be difficult to destroy them again!"

The Pope pondered for a while, then finally nodded.

"Indeed, this should be told to my lord. I'm going to see God...... Let's pray he'll grant my request......"

In the middle of the church, the heart of the temple, a room that only the Pope can enter on weekdays.

A five-meter-tall statue of the god of light, with a golden light emitting from its entire body, seems to be made of gold. There was also a 'milky' white holy power flowing around the statue like mercury, and a thin layer of transparent energy covered the vicinity of the statue of light.

The whole room was filled with a chilling sense of coercion. Even though the Pope has been here more than once, he still can't help but feel a trace of awe and even fear in his heart.

"Lord, your divine power is omnipotent...... Your light shines on every people...... You are so noble, so holy, so majestic...... Now, your servant is calling you and asking for your answer......" The Pope knelt before the idol and murmured a low 'groan'.

A faint white 'color' light mist emanated from the Pope's body, which gradually condensed into a trace of 'milky' light. It slowly probed into the energy shield of the Statue of Light, injected into the head of the Statue of Light, and infiltrated into the body of the Idol little by little.

I saw a slight 'stirring' and 'swinging' sound from the energy cover, echoing throughout the room. The sparkle of the Statue of Light is even more radiant. The Pope knelt quietly on the ground, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Half an hour passed. Beads of sweat oozed from the Pope's face and neck, and the light around his body began to dim. The white line also seems to be a little intermittent. But the Statue of Light didn't react at all......

Why didn't my Lord answer my call? This was something that had never happened before! Could it be that he couldn't come because of a lack of energy? What is the purpose of ignoring it like this?

Puzzled and confused, the Pope had to give up. That white line looked inconspicuous, but it actually consumed a lot of his holy power, and it was not easy to hold on for such a long time.

It seems that the god cannot come...... I don't know why, but the god of light must have received his request. Why it didn't come is not something that the Pope can know.

Seeing the Pope return to his seat in a languid manner, the bishops suddenly widened their eyes. The Pope didn't even invite the Divine Lord......

"Go and invite Esin and Lord Puye to come and discuss it...... I don't believe they really dare to stand idly by!" The Pope waved his hand and added: "Today I am tired, tomorrow!"

With questions, big and small, the bishops did not dare to ask more, and they all retreated......

The next day, at the invitation of the Pope, Puye and Esin returned to the halls of the temple. Both of them had a faint mocking 'color' on their faces.

"I don't want to say anything superfluous. Are you knights and the Inquisition prepared to continue to sit idly by?" said the Pope, opening the door.

"What does the Pope mean by that?" Essien said, with a puzzled expression.

"Now that the rebels have conquered the city of 'Mongol', if the fortress of Mada is lost again, the other side may come to the Holy Capital, do you think you will be able to stand by then?" the Pope asked.

"And what does the Pope want us to do?" Essien asked rhetorically.

"There is no one in my temple who understands military affairs, if you want to exterminate this rebellious force, you have to rely on your knights and the ...... of the Inquisition" Seeing that the other party's words were a little loose, the Pope's heart moved, and his tone softened.

"That's fine!" replied this time Essien very dryly, "Since the Pope is in trouble, we will definitely help." In this way, I will send out a staff knight who is well versed in the battle array to assist the Pope in exterminating the Crusaders. ”

"One?" the Pope froze.

"Of course, after all, it is still unclear whether this crusader is truly a traitor. Therefore, the matter of extermination can only be regarded as the internal affairs of the empire, and it is the duty of your temple. Since His Holiness the Pope said that there was no one in the temple who knew how to do military affairs, I would send a staff knight to assist the temple. So...... Any questions?" said Essien, raising his eyelids and laughing.

"I'm asking you to send a few level 9 masters and rebel troops!" the Pope was angry. What's the use of having you as a staff knight?

"I don't understand that. There are also a lot of level 9 cardinals in your temple, so it shouldn't be a problem to send out 10 8. This is originally the duty of your temple, why do you want to push it to our knights and the inquisition?" Pu Ye said straightforwardly, and directly pushed the Pope back.

"They're rebels! they're infidels!" the Pope jumped to his feet.

"Where's the evidence?" asked Essien, with his right hand spread out.

"I said they were, and they were! Esin, Puye, aren't you afraid that the god will blame them in the future?" No, the Pope had to raise the god of light and threaten the two.

"What if the Son is true...... Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Lord will blame him in the future? We are also cautious, because only the Lord knows the truth about this matter. Previously...... We don't make judgments lightly. ”

"You ......" the Pope suddenly felt the urge to vomit blood. If you can summon the Divine Master, where will it be your turn to be arrogant!

At this moment, a great force descended on the church. And the source of this coercion comes from the core of the temple, the statue of light used to summon the god of light!

"The Divine Lord has come!" the Pope rejoiced. Essien and Puye were shocked.

How is that possible! There has never been a precedent for the God of Light to come down on his own initiative. Of course, they didn't know that the Pope had already summoned the God of Light yesterday.

The Pope was actually wondering why the God of Light had come a day late? This had never happened before. But now that the God of Light has come down, all problems can be solved.

"I will go to my lord...... Esin, Puye, you will pay for your actions!" the Pope hurried away.

"It's okay...... Even if the god blames, at most he blames, and we are indeed not to blame for this. And...... I always thought things couldn't be so bad!" Essien seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes a little 'cloudy' and clear.
