Section 38 Showdown

"Who can tell me! What the hell is going on!" Murdorf was in the church in the city of Tilling, angry at the senior staff. "It's been five days! Why haven't Kazak and Kawa come back yet!"

"It stands to reason that since the city of Moscow has been captured, they should lead their men and horses to retreat immediately. A white cardinal asked. Three days earlier, more than a dozen remnants of Moscow's army had fled into the city, and Murdorf had learned that Moscow had fallen before reinforcements arrived.

"I also know that this is the case! But! Why don't they have any news now?" "According to the distance, even if Kazak had led his troops to the city of Moscow and turned back, he would have returned long ago.

"Could it be...... Kazak, are they greedy for merit, and they want to retake Moscow?" guessed a level 8 holy knight.

"Fart! With their little strength, 'Bo' Nev has twice as many troops and masters in his hands, and he is still easily defeated in the state of defending the city. Why did he Kazak retake Moscow? Could it be that the God of Light could not possess him!" Murdorf roared, already a little furious. One hundred 'elite' soldiers, two masters, that's it...... Gone?

"Said possession...... According to the accounts of the fleeing soldiers in Moscow, it seems that the Son of Adam really has the possession of the God of Light...... Could it be that he ......," said a white-clad bishop, hesitantly.

"I don't want to hear such blasphemy a second time. Murdorf looked at the white cardinal with a grim face.

"Villain...... The villain is guilty!" The cardinal felt a chill in his heart, and quickly defended: "I just want to remind my lord that there must be something strange about that holy son. ”

"Of course I know that!, but now no one can uncover his tricks, and the untouchables and Imperial soldiers in several northern cities have been 'bewitched' by him!Damn!" Murdorf slammed the table.

"It's not Kazak, they've already been ...... by the enemy," a level 8 ascetic said suddenly.

"I'm afraid that's unlikely, isn't it? If he encounters an enemy, at least a few people will flee back, right? Kazak is not a fool!

"That's not necessarily, haven't you heard that someone used the royal family's holy sword technique that day! I suspect that Prince Semetis has already defected to that rebel army! It is likely that the rebel army was formed by Prince Semetis! Isn't there news that he happened to flee to the area of Tanta City?"

"Anyway, Kazak and their eighty percent have an accident!" Murdorf summed up the nonsense, and then said angrily: "Useless thing! Lost a hundred of our 'elite' soldiers in vain!"

"Since the other party can take down Kazak and them silently, the strength must be very amazing!" "It is not difficult to defeat Kazak's team, but if you want to destroy them all...... This is not something that ordinary strength can do.

Of course, this speculation is only based on the fact that they do not understand the art of war.

"Ask the temple for help!" said a white-robed cardinal, weakly. At present, the strength of the city is only five hundred, and although there are many masters, there are still some drums in everyone's hearts.

"This matter must be reported to the temple. Murdorf thought for a moment and said, "But the temple is currently too busy to take care of itself, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of us." ”

"Ten days ago, several powerful heretics suddenly invaded the Holy Capital and slaughtered many of the big people in the Holy Capital. If it weren't for the arrival of the Temple of Light, I'm afraid that the Pope would be difficult to ......" Murdof's face changed, and then continued: "In short, I'm afraid the Holy Capital has no spare strength to support us at present. His Holiness the Pope is also going to 'draw' local bishops above level 8 to return to the Holy Capital to preside over affairs!"

"How is this possible?" the crowd obviously didn't know the news yet, and they suddenly exclaimed.

"It's true!" Murdorf had apparently received some instructions from the Temple, most likely to have him return to the Temple. But at this time, he couldn't walk away.

"What if the rebels come and attack us?" it seems that Harry's Crusaders have scared the timid Templars out of their hearts. For now, the strength of the city is stronger than that of the Crusaders.

"It's only one step at a time! Now we don't know the purpose of these rebels...... His Highness of Light stands up for the untouchables?, how is it possible!" Murdorf looked disdainful.

Everyone also nodded. How could the God of Light stand up for those untouchables? This is definitely a rumor!

......

Another five days passed, and the temple finally sent instructions.

"Defend the city of Watts. If the enemy army is strong, preserve the living force and retreat to the city of 'Meng'. If the city of 'Meng' Guo is still unable to hold it, it will be withdrawn to the fortress of Mada. Gather all your forces and fight the rebels to the death. ”

It seems that the temple has received the power of the royal family, and there are still some talents who know how to do military affairs. Rather than being crushed by the rebels individually, it is better to gather forces for a big battle. The loss of the city is not in the eyes of the temple, as long as the living force of the rebels is eliminated, those untouchables have nothing to fear.

Moreover, the Motor Fortress is already very close to the Holy Capital, which is also convenient for the temple to mobilize forces. In front of a large number of masters, any tactics are useless!

......

"Our biggest problem right now is ...... There are too few masters!" Bibbo said solemnly to Harry.

"Indeed...... We don't have a level 9 master on our hands. And there are more than 100 level 9 masters in the temple!not to mention level 8 masters......" Harry also frowned.

"We are now making a small fuss in the north, and the temple is afraid that it is too lazy to 'spend' a lot of effort to suppress it. So if we just stay in the north, I guess we can still support it. I want to attack the Holy Capital, but it's still not enough. Biebco shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

"That's not what you said!" Harry was annoyed. His purpose is not to divide one side and become a prince!

"So, didn't I come to discuss with His Highness? In the face of Harry's anger, Bibs looked indifferent.

"What can you do?" Seeing that Bibcok seemed to have something to say, Harry calmed down first.

"Actually, you and I, our purpose is not to destroy the temple. My identity...... Presumably His Highness should have guessed it!" Bibbo said slowly.

Oh, it's going to be a showdown with me so soon?' Harry was slightly shocked.

"But the identity of His Highness ...... Forgive me for being clumsy, I really can't guess!" Biebke shook his head and said seriously: "Personally, I don't like uncertainties. Originally, I thought that after many temptations, I would always get some information about His Highness, but I failed...... I can't figure out who you are!"

"For the sake of our happy cooperation in the future, I wonder if Your Highness can tell me your true identity?" asked Bibek, or Prince Semetis, word by word.

"You want to know who I am, what is the purpose?" Harry didn't dare to say that he wasn't from the Holy Light Empire at all! Although Semetis was against the Temple, it didn't mean that he could tolerate heretics!

"I want to be sure that His Highness is harmless to me...... Can you rest assured?"

"I can guarantee you! I don't pose any threat to you. Unless...... You threaten me first!" Harry looked at Semetis deeply, without a hint of expression on his indifferent face.

"Your Highness doesn't want to tell me your identity, and I don't force it. But at least you're going to tell me what you're rebelling against the Temple, right?" Semetis thought for a moment, and changed the question.

"Don't tell me that it's just to liberate the untouchables and help them out of their misery...... There may be this factor, but it is by no means your main purpose!" Semetis affirmed: "Your Highness understands my purpose, but I do not understand His Highness's purpose...... Speaking of which, this is not fair! What's more, I know His Highness's purpose, so I can better cooperate with His Highness, isn't it?"

"Okay! After the matter is completed, the Holy Light Empire will belong to you! I only need the current Holy 'Maiden'!" Tang Ling is a member of the Free Empire, and only a very few high-level members of the church know about it. Semetis had rebelled before Tang Ling's return, so it was naturally impossible to know.

"Holy 'woman'?" Semetis couldn't help but laugh, "just for a 'woman', you don't hesitate to be the enemy of the temple?" she ...... Is it really that appealing?"

"You don't care about this! Just tell me you're not satisfied with this answer!"

"I can't see that His Highness is still a lover. Son...... Holy 'Woman'...... Sure enough!" Semetis scrutinized Harry and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake.

"Also, I want an unbaptized holy woman...... That said, we've got four months left at most......" Harry added.

"I have also heard about the Holy Maiden, and since the infusion ceremony has begun, after the ritual is completed, the God of Light will come down again to baptize the Holy Maiden. The matter ...... If you want to stop it, it's ...... a thousand difficulties" Semetis rolled his eyes, and then said: "If you can help me regain control of the empire, I can enshrine His Highness the God of Light, and you will still be your holy son, and you can also form a pair with the holy 'daughter' in the name of righteousness...... As for baptism or not, what does it matter?"

"No way! If you can't help me reclaim the Holy Maiden within four months, then our 'trade' will be over. You know, I can make you the commander of the crusaders with one word, and I can remove you with one word. "Yes, Harry is the master of the army right now. Even though Biboff already had a high prestige, he still couldn't match Harry's words.

"You already know the Holy Maiden?" Semetis was still tempting, he thought that Harry was a member of the Temple, and because he had taken a fancy to the Holy Maiden, he came to Tanta City to rebel under the guise of the Holy Son. It seems that this is not the case.

"You can't take care of that!" Harry was a little impatient. Looking at Semetis's reflection, it seems that even if he sits on the throne again, it will not prevent Tang Ling from becoming a holy 'woman'.

"The matter...... But it's difficult...... "Semetis's face is 'exposed' and difficult to "color". Who knew that Harry's request was so strange, even if Harry asked him to divide half of the empire, he wouldn't feel any difficulty, but...... This holy 'woman' is about the God of Light, how can I be sure to agree to him?

"In that case, we'll go our separate ways, and I'll figure it out myself. Harry's heart was cold, Semetis couldn't do it, and it seemed that he had to fight hard.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry!" Semetis had the opportunity to easily catch Harry, a big tree that could be used, how could he give up. He couldn't have done anything without Harry. "I'm just saying it's difficult, but it's not completely impossible. ”

"Oh, how?" asked Harry, impatiently.

"As long as we come to the Holy Capital, I will have a way to 'force' out of the Temple of Light to descend. When the time comes, I will be able to convince the God of Light to return me to the throne!" Semetis said with great confidence. "Since the empire is in charge with me, when the time comes, I will strongly persuade the Divine Lord to give up the current holy 'daughter' and re-elect......!" When there is something to be done!"

"How sure are you?" asked Harry, anxiously.

"The chances of success are five-five!" replied Semetis.

"Not 100 percent sure?" said Harry, clearly not satisfied.

"Fifty percent of the chance is already the greatest certainty! If you don't cooperate with me, even if you have the ability to fight the Holy Capital, you will only fail in the end!" Semetis said with certainty.

Not bad...... Storming the Holy Capital by himself, the chance of success is very slim! It seems that he can only continue to cooperate with Semetis, 50%...... It's better than no hope.

"How can you convince the God of Light that you are in charge of the Empire?" Harry wondered, if so, why was Semetis forced to leave the Holy Capital last time?

"This is my secret! Since Your Highness you also have a secret, let's all be with each other. Semetis smiled casually.

Presumably, Semetis would not joke with his own 'sex' life. He can run away at any time, and this Semetis has only a dead end if he fails. What if you believe in him?

"Now that we have negotiated the 'trade', let's return to the question of reality. How to deal with the level 9 master of the temple. "There are still problems that have not been solved, and it is time to talk about some practical things.

"Looks like you have a solution. "Semetis knows far better than himself about the situation in the Holy Light Empire, this collaborator...... It's pretty good.

"I have no intention of inquiring about the miracle that His Highness can 'revea' miracles. But when I look at the holy power of His Highness, it seems that he can only help the other party to baptize or bless. The summoned incarnation of the god of light does not seem to have divine power...... I wonder if His Highness can perform a powerful miracle with threatening 'sex'?" Semetis asked tentatively.

"Are you going to let me deal with the masters of the temple alone??" Harry couldn't help but be angry, he was not a real son, how could he deal with dozens or hundreds of temple masters at the same time!

"That's not it...... If His Highness had that ability, he wouldn't have to do anything about this uprising. Semetis spoke upright.

"And what do you mean?" asked Harry.

"We can't be enemies of the whole empire, because that would be the enemy of the God of Light. We must take advantage of the internal contradictions of the temple in order to gain a chance for ourselves. Semetis seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and now he began to talk endlessly.

"Because the God of Light only gave the Pope the right to summon him, the Pope is the only clergy who can communicate with the God of Light. This also caused the clergy to have too much power in the temple. In addition to the level 9 ascetics and holy knights who can also hold high positions, even the level 8 powerhouses may not have the right to vote on the affairs of the empire. So...... They weren't so happy with the clergy! They just had to obey them in the name of the God of Light. ”

"You mean that we are going to stir up contradictions between the clergy and the non-clergy within the temple. Take advantage of the opportunity?" asked Harry.

It's pretty much the same, but it's not quite true. Although the non-clergy are dissatisfied with the clergy, it is not easy to provoke. Because they dare not be disrespectful to the God of Light. Unless there is the will of the God of Light, it is impossible for the non-clergy of the temple to attack the clergy. Semetis shook his head.

"What do you mean...... then," Harry was a little confused.

"What we have to do is let the non-clergy of the temple stand by and watch!" Semetis smiled lightly and said, "Nominally, the clergy, including the pope, cannot directly appoint non-clergy. They can only be ...... in the name of God."

"And the God of Light, as far as I know, has come down twice in just three months. One was the one I did, and the other was when powerful pagans were said to have invaded the Holy Capital and 'forced' the Pope to summon the God of Light. And with the arrival of the Holy Woman, the God of Light will inevitably come down and baptize the Holy Woman after the Holy Light is infused...... Therefore, I am sure that before the baptism of the Holy 'Maiden', it will not be possible for the God of Light to come again!"

Heretics? It's right in front of you right now...... Harry chuckled inwardly. It seems that his attack on the Holy Capital is not without any effect, in addition to killing and injuring a large number of masters, he also 'forced' the number of times that the God of Light 'waves' came.

"Of course, even if the God of Light does not come, the Pope can send Temple masters to fight us in the name of God. And what we have to do is to make these masters suspect that the God of Light is not on the side of the Pope...... Just doubt, and we'll get a chance!"

"And what am I going to do?" Harry understood what Semetis meant. It's nothing more than letting yourself fool yourself. But how could the confidants of the temple be so easy to fool?

"That's why I ask you, Your Highness, if you are able to exert a more destructive divine might? We must not only make those people suspicious, but also frightened and surprised! So that they will have enough excuses to refuse the Pope's order. As long as the gods of light do not come, they are not a threat to us......"

"At the same time, we must also proclaim our purpose to the whole country! We do not want to **** the temple, but to wash away the evil forces of the dictatorship of the clergy, the enslavement of believers, and all the evil deeds in the temple, and point all the spearheads at the clergy headed by the pope. Since we cannot threaten the non-clergy, we have the power to determine the 'sexuality' to deter them, and the identity of your Son makes them 'confused'. What other reason do they have to help the Pope against us?"

"They just have to stand by and watch the excitement! Whether we win or the Pope wins, there's nothing to lose to them, is there?" Semetis said with a hint of shrewdness.

It seems that he learned the lessons of the last defeat and knows to concentrate his forces on the main enemy...... I also learned how to divide the enemy......

"Okay! Let me think about it...... "Is it the divine power that determines 'sex'? Where can I find it? With the use of mystical points of light, I can only invoke a large amount of holy power, but I can't transform these holy powers into powerful powers.

"According to my estimate, the clergy will retreat to the Holy Capital, and the decisive battle of the Motor Fortress will most likely be non-clergy masters. As long as we take the Motor Fortress...... The rest, it's up to me!" Semetis's eyes were sharp, and he didn't know what secrets he was hiding......
