Chapter 770: Pope Leo's Secret Message
Kingdom of France, City of Paris.
The news of the Jimny's withdrawal swept through the city like a hurricane almost immediately, and everyone reacted almost as much as they did to Louis the "King" at the moment—first in disbelief, then in ecstatic.
The city was already scarred by three months of siege, the streets were in shambles, the houses were in ruins by the magic cannons of the Jimnys, piles of garbage were dumped on the roadside, the air was filled with filth, and a small flag representing the death of someone in the family was hung on the eaves, all of which proved the price Parris had paid during these three months.
But it was worth it, because the Jimnis eventually withdrew, and after three months of day and night sieges, the Jimnis left thousands of corpses under Paris, and then were forced to withdraw in disarray!
The soldiers and civilians of Paris cheered and celebrated the retirement of the Jimnys. The small black flag, which symbolizes death, still flutters sadly on the eaves, but the hearts of those who still survive are full of joy.
A series of post-war reconstruction work, such as burying the corpses, clearing the roads blocked by the war, and restoring order in the markets, is proceeding in an orderly manner, and everything is beginning to stabilize, as if the gods of fate are once again beginning to pity the city and the country.
During this war, the bishops and priests in several churches in the city of France vacated the churches to accommodate the wounded and homeless civilians, and used their magic and medical skills to treat the wounded day and night, winning the unanimous praise and respect of the "King" Louis, down to the common people and soldiers.
Many people were inspired by these bishops and priests to join the Church of Light and become followers of the High God of Light, mainly the lower classes of commoners and soldiers, but also some military officers, children of nobles, and even generals and nobles themselves.
Although there are many believers in the Church of Light in this big 6, its influence has always been mainly within the Spani Empire, overseas Big 6, and the Kingdom of Anglo and Itari, so this success in the Kingdom of France can be said to be an out-and-out icebreaker, and even His Majesty Leo, the new Pope of the Holy See, has come to the commendation order for this.
At noon on the same day, the head of the Church in Paris, the purple Bishop Richelieu, who was in charge of the central and eastern archdioceses of the Kingdom of France, gathered several other vicarships together and held a secret meeting in a secret room.
"Lord Richelieu, why do you have to summon me in such a hurry?" A dusty vicar had just arrived in the secret room and couldn't wait to ask.
The vicar's anxiety was justified, for there were still a large number of wounded in his church to be treated, and there were many new converts to communicate, especially those who were either prominent or in military power, and it would be of great benefit to the missionary work in the future.
The Church of Light has been suppressed by the Kingdom of France for three hundred years, and this is the best time, and no one is willing to give up this opportunity.
The other vicarships did not agree, but judging by the expressions on their faces, it was clear that everyone was on the same page.
Bishop Richelieu, who was nearly sixty years old and his sideburns were already all white, smiled slightly, and unhurriedly took out a round white ball with a faint light from his arms and shook it in front of the eyes of everyone in the secret room: "Ladies and gentlemen, here is a directive from His Majesty the new Pope Leo, the highest level of secrecy. ”
Several vicar bishops had surprised expressions on their faces at the same time, and they all focused their eyes on the small white ball in Richelieu's hand.
Even after three months of siege, the bishops in Paris City were still informed of many important events through the secret channels unique to the Church, such as the uprising of Bishop Gavin, the defeat of Pope Enhill, and the accession of the god Leo, who had just taken office with a top-secret message, the importance of which can be imagined.
No one would want to offend a pope who had just taken office and obviously had a few decades to live, especially these who served in the vacuum of power in the Kingdom of France, the Church of Light, which was almost equivalent to being matched by the vicar of the frontier, so everyone closed their mouths and waited with bated breath for what should happen next.
Seeing this, the Archbishop of Richelieu nodded in satisfaction, his lips trembled slightly, and he recited a few incantations in a low voice, and a quaint emblem shining with the light of holy power appeared from his hand and shot into the small white ball.
The ball cracked suddenly, and many white holy powers shot out from the ball, forming a young man with a papal crown in the air.
Although they had never met this young man, everyone present knew that this must be the new Pope, His Majesty Leo.
Of course, this isn't Leo making a video connection from side to side, it's just a pre-recorded video.
Leo's image spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the chamber: "Bishop Richelieu and deputies, I have heard of your heroic deeds against the Jimny, and I must say that you have done a very good job, successfully resisting the evil Jimny, and making a remarkable contribution to the spread of light in this great 6. ”
Everyone in the room quietly glanced at each other, and put down a big stone in their hearts, after all, the Jimny people are indeed enemies of the church, but at this moment, the owner of Paris City, "King" Louis, is also regarded as a thief by the church.
Fighting against the Jimny is tantamount to helping Louie, so whether the act of helping to defend the city will make His Majesty the new Pope angry Before the bishops really didn't know that His Majesty Leo's fiancée, Princess Bela's family, died at Louie's hands?
But at this moment, as soon as Leo's words came out, it was equivalent to giving everyone a reassurance, as His Majesty the Pope, it was impossible for Leo to go back on his word, especially in this kind of image in full view.
Leo's image paused, and then continued: "If I'm not mistaken, the Jimny should have retired by now. ”
The bishops looked at each other stunned, this Jimny retreat has only been a few days, and the information has just been transmitted back to the Holy See at this moment, but this image is from the Holy See, and it has just arrived in Paris City after several days of travel, could it be that on the day of the retreat of the Jimnys, His Majesty Leo, who is thousands of miles away in the Holy See, knew that the Jimny people had retreated?
This is simply impossible, so there is only one explanation, and that is that His Majesty Leo predicted the withdrawal of the Jimny, which is a sign of His Majesty's wisdom.
The bishops sat in their chairs and straightened up, and their heads lowered, showing more submission, even if it was only an image of Leo in front of them.
"Bishops," Leo's image continued, "an immortal achievement is now before you, and as long as you can help the rebel coalition to accomplish this great cause, I can hereby promise that everyone present will be promoted to at least one rank!" ”
Promoted to one level! Everyone couldn't help but show excitement when they heard these four words, and some even began to tremble their hands.
Don't look at these vicarins are all vice-bishops, and the archbishops of the province, which is commonly known as the "purple bishop", are only one step away, but such a seemingly simple step is like a moat, and it is a hurdle that many people can't overcome in a lifetime!
And now, that opportunity is just around the corner!
