Chapter 609: Crisis (2)

After a moment of irritability, Ribbingènev raised his hot gaze and looked at his companion: "Leonardo, you came from Odiega, and you have dealt with that Hathaway many times. In your opinion, should we sit back or turn a blind eye? ”

From this sentence, Leonardo already knew that the bishop, who had always been known for his iron will, had already made a decision in his heart, and even if he raised his own objections, it would be useless. However, since his opinion is sought, he must tell the truth.

"Lord Bishop, it is certain that the more time Hathaway is left, the more powerful she will become, and the more uncertain the future will be, so it is better to settle it sooner rather than later. However, in the current situation of the church, it may not be possible to succeed by relying on the power of the Inquisition. ”

"What does it matter if it doesn't work out? As long as we try, that's enough. Ribbengenev's eyes flashed.

"But why wouldn't we want to seek a success that would be equally satisfying?" Leonardo Road.

"Is that possible?" Ribbengenef shook his head disappreciatively, "Leonardo, I never dream unrealistically, with our current level of support, it will be difficult for us to achieve a substantial victory...... No, it's simply impossible. ”

Leonardo sighed, knowing he couldn't stop the other party: "How are you going to start?" ”

"Wei Ning'an, they are all working with the female lord of Otiga, seeking to start in Otiga, especially those Protestant believers, who are at home in Otiga. It all started with that Hathaway. If you want to act, you must be decisive and resolute, and you must not leave regrets. ”

"You've decided? Not only is she surrounded by too many strong men and armies, but her own strength is also difficult to measure, even if the two of us join forces, we may not be able to solve her. ”

"Not necessarily. It's just that neither of us has a chance, except for the old guys in the church. But they were hindered by the rules of the ancient gods, and they would not attack until the enemy reached the same level as them, or the church headquarters would be attacked. Otherwise, it will not be shot. The frenzied light in Ribbingène's eyes had not faded, but his expression was extremely calm. Not affected by emotions in the slightest.

"What do you mean? :”

Leonardo's eyes lit up, and it seemed that Ribbingènev had not been affected by the change in his mood.

"We need outside help, that guy has quite a powerful warrior, mage, and troops around him, and even Kennett suffered a big loss last time. And this time, if we go far away. That's not easy. Therefore, we have to rely on external forces, and we can only bring shame on ourselves by our own strength. Ribbengenev said lightly.

Leonardo's mind raced. So who can help? Kennett them? It seems unlikely, Wei Ningan and the others are also drifting away from themselves, and it is obviously impossible for them to join.

"Who? Who can take on this responsibility? ”

"Augustus, and his Knights of Judgment."

"Huh? Augustus? He? Leonardo was astonished, and for a moment he seemed to think that Ribbingènev was mad, and that Augustus would only obey the orders of the Pope, and would not accept orders from anyone else.

"You don't believe it?" Ribbengenev smiled slightly.

"Will Augustus join forces with us?"

"Don't think of Augustus as being so dull, they all have their own judgments, even the Pope has never interfered with their opinions, let alone deliberately influenced their inclinations, which is our opportunity. I have made a formal invitation to Augustus and his Knights of Judgment to help us eradicate the heretics. ”

"Their answer?"

"There is no clear answer yet, but they have not refused, which is already implying something, and I am sure they will make a wise choice." Ribben Genev was confident that with Augustus on board, the chances of success would be at least 90 percent.

"Augustus alone may not be able to do it alone, unless all the paladins of the Order of the Ruling Order are dispatched." Leonardo hesitated for a moment before saying.

"I know that this time we will be foolproof," said Ribbingènev, whose face darkened, "and I could give up everything, including my own life, for the glory of the goddess." ”

"Your Excellency,"

A priest hurriedly walked in and reported, "Lord Augustus, please go to the Colosseum with Lord Leonardo. ”

"Got it." Ribbengenev and Leonardo looked at each other, and both smiles appeared on their faces.

……

Hathaway was immersed in the power she had just gained at this time, although she faintly sensed the imminent crisis in her heart, but it didn't happen, and she didn't know where the crisis came from. After Stephen reached a tacit understanding with the Church of Nature, the situation suddenly became clear, and after losing the covert support of the Church of Nature, the knights of Pillsburg suddenly found themselves so isolated.

Everyone around is scrambling to flatter Hathaway, and the rebuilding of the Ostiga Empire seems to have become an inescapable reality, but the Fervinville Dynasty has changed dynasties and become the imaginary Hathaway Empire.

It is still difficult to say whether the Bell family will become the true symbol of this empire, after all, this young lord is very secretive about his family, not to mention that the Bell family is the founder of the Southern Will Federation, and judging from the attitude of Hathaway's close friends and close ministers, she does not seem to want to link this empire with the Bell family, and even she herself does not want to have anything to do with the Bell family, but the political structure of the empire is gradually becoming clearer.

……

The Colosseum is the seat of the Knights of the Church of Nature.

In the Church of Nature, the three major knights of the Judgment, the Unicorn, and the Holy Bear seem to stand on their own, but those who are familiar with the details know that the status of the Judgment Knights is difficult for the latter two to reach.

Regardless of the actual combat effectiveness, the two knights of the Unicorn and the Holy Bear are responsible for daily military operations. The cardinal archbishop or even the head of the Inquisition could order them, and the Ruling Order was one of the final forces of the Church, which was directly ordered by the Pope or commanded by the head of the Order, and no one else had the right to command it at all.

At this time, in the center of the gladiatorial arena, there were three people, two of whom were none other than Bishop Ribbengenev and Leonardo, while the other was wearing a knightly hunting suit decorated with the emblem of the Church of Nature and was slender. Resolute countenance. Graceful and magnanimous in his gestures, he is none other than Augustus, the current head of the Ruling Order.

"She must be stopped, and the only way to stop her is to destroy her!"

Ribbengenev's eyes were like torches. If someone else is in front of him. He believed that his momentum was enough to overwhelm everything. But in front of this person, he did not have the slightest such thought.

"Bishop Ribbengenev, are you sure that she has reached a tacit agreement with Wei Ning'an and the two cardinals?" Augustus asked with a frown. He was a little incredulous. It would be inconceivable if even the upper echelons of the Natural Church had come to an agreement with the infidels.

"Captain Augustus, I swear in the name of the Goddess that they all have some kind of contact with that lord, and from the current situation it seems that they must have reached some kind of compromise, these opportunists have completely forgotten the oath they made when they believed in the crown of Artest, and they are dishonoring the goddess!"

Augustus frowned slightly, the leader of the Inquisition seemed to be behaving a little out of shape right now, and losing his composure would only make the problem worse, maybe the situation was serious, but it shouldn't be like that.

Whether it is a cardinal or a Protestant follower of Wei Ning'an, after all, it is a matter within the natural Church, even if they are now showing a tendency to separate in one way or another, but it does not matter, he needs to think about the pagans now, especially when a pagan has achieved the pinnacle of secular power, this crisis is even more serious.

The Pope has not yet left a word, although he has not left a word for himself, but Augustus has never forgotten the duty of adjudicating the Knights, defending nature and eradicating heresies, which is the unavoidable duty of all Templars, and the Pope has never given himself intentional guidance, judging right and wrong, only his heart.

Now seems to be the time to make your own decisions.

The quiet sunlight shone on Augustus's broad forehead, shining with a bright color, and his iron-gray eyes drooped slightly, as if thinking about something.

Ribbengenev also held his breath, and the decision of the other party will decide everything.

"Lord Ribbingènev, it seems that your concerns are justified, but I have no right to comment on Wei Ning'an and others, nor do I have the right to interfere, as for the heretic you are talking about, as long as you have evidence that he is indeed endangering the cause of our natural church, we will rule that the Knights will not hesitate to take action."

"Evidence, of course, I can tell you responsibly, Captain Augustus, under the command of that Lord Hathaway, there is a team of abyssal fairy warriors, they have come out many times in war, assassinated the elders of the Church of Nature, and in her hands there is an evil dragon from the abyss......"

At this moment, Ribbengenef didn't care much, it didn't matter whether Hathaway was really a heretic or not, as long as he could successfully arouse the anger of the knight in front of him, in fact, there were many things he guessed, but most of them guessed more accurately, but the conclusion was a little wrong...... Hathaway was not a believer in any god at all.

"What?!" A surge of anger filled Augustus's chest, and if this was true, was it tolerable, "You say she colluded with the evil Abyssal Goblins to assassinate the senior members of the Church?" ”

"No lie!"

"Very good, very good!" Augustus laughed angrily, "If she is so rampant, what are you doing in the Inquisition?" Bishop Ribbengenev, you seem to have neglected your duty. ”

"Master Augustus, she is now more powerful than we imagined, and the Inquisition is also weak in many cases, especially since she also has the support of some people within our natural church...... Captain Augustus, in the last war, both the captains of the Knights of the Unicorn and the Knights of the Holy Bear were wounded. ”

Augustus bowed slightly, unmoved, "Then let's talk about the true strength that the lord possesses. ”

This time, Ribbengenev did not add to the fire, he knew that only by seeking truth from facts could he win the approval of the other party, he only introduced everything he knew in detail.

"So, in addition to herself, there are also the Green Elf Mages and the Barbarian Priests? This is the magician power she has? ”

"No, not exactly, there are some mage powers beside her that we are not familiar with, but not inferior, and I need to draw the attention of Captain Augustus to this point."

"Is that all?"

"Another thing is that Lord Hathaway is still a very good alchemist, and she has researched a lot of magic devices that can be used for large-scale armed forces, which is why she often achieves great victories with inferior numbers. Many people just ignored her ability in this regard, and finally ended up losing and ending dismally. ”

"Oh? Who did she learn her alchemy with? ”

"I don't know, we've looked into the magic academy she attended, but according to the people in the academy, she was even more ordinary when she was at the academy. Maybe she got the mage inheritance from her maternal grandfather's family. ”

"Good, I see." Augustus did not take it lightly in the slightest.

"And then there's her knights."

"Do you mean the knights of Otiga? After all the wars, almost all the experienced knights have been killed, who else? ”

"Not only that, in addition to the few newly formed knights of the Terrans, there are also some barbarian knights and green elf warriors by her side. Those talents are her true strength. ”

"Hmph, it seems that this lord's identity is extraordinary, and he has actually entangled so many ghost characters, it just so happens that the Ruling Knights have not been soaked in the dirty blood of these ghosts for a long time, if they are all together, they can plow the court and sweep the holes, and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots."

Augustus has been successfully aroused by the opponent's fighting spirit and blood, and being confined to the gladiatorial arena for a long time has not made his ambition wear down, but has accumulated too much anger, and he needs a battle too much to vent his inner fighting spirit.
