Chapter 731: A Covenant Doomed to Betrayal

The Pope or something, the most annoying....... I mean, from the very beginning, the Templar forces have been our potential competitors, and as the earthly walker of the Lord of Light, the most powerful and prestigious Pope in this world, Kaloma, has always been a wall that we can't bypass.

I used to think about how nice it would be if some assassin had a good fortune and picked up this bargain, or if the old guy ate a walnut cake and stuck in his throat one day, and hung up like that without getting a breath.

But there are some things that are enough to think about.

To be able to stand at the top of the Templar Church with many heroes, regardless of strength and mentality, Caloma is not to be faulty, many popes have died of old age, but only a handful have died in battle.

To be able to sit in this position, you have the combat power at the top of this plane, don't look at the previous popes have a drooping and decrepit face, but the average has held the power of the church for more than 170 years, and this pope has only been on the throne for about ten years, and he may not die if the cardinal dies.

This Kaloma had a track record of killing the god of waves during the cardinal stage, and now has the Pope's inheritance, and is definitely one of the top combat forces in the world.

But now, looking at the trembling old man in front of me, I am a little happy.

"Hey, old man, aren't you dead yet?"

And the previous meeting, although it is still that face, but the complexion has been much worse, first go is a kind face and bottomless feeling, now the body exudes amazing coercion, but it gives me a very funny feeling, because the old lion king who has aged to the point of being challenged to his authority must show his sense of existence all day long.

I smiled gloatingly, making no secret of my joy.

"Ro....... Roland? Rowland! ”

His squinted eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief. Next. But it was undisguised hostility.

"Hmm. Is it me, didn't you recognize it? That's right, I'm already a transcendent, and I don't need to rush to take this step without your step-by-step pressing. ”

I looked at the little old man in front of me with malice, how steady he was two months ago, but now he was like a frightened bird, looking at the wrinkles and tired look. I haven't seen him in a few months, but he looks at least a dozen years older.

What could be happier than making a big progress, naturally after making progress, you find that your opponent has taken a big step back.

For theologians, the state of mind is more important than anything, a firm will is the most important attribute of the priesthood, faith shaking and soul fall are the greatest original sins, the successful priest and archbishop are more calm than the other, as the pope, Kaloma's mentality has obviously been unbalanced. It is inevitable to lose one's life, and if you don't do it, your strength has regressed greatly.

"Why aren't you dead yet? We can save a lot of things when you die. ”

"Heresy!"

The papal guards roared one after another, and the most impulsive one had already drawn his sword and rushed over.

Then the black shadow flashed, and the black wind blew, and the warrior disappeared without a trace, and his roar still echoed in the air, but the figure disappeared.

This strange scene made the guards stop and consciously protect themselves in front of the Pope.

I had no intention of explaining, so I took out my nail clippers and leisurely began to lower my head and reduce my nails, without looking at them, and the scene fell silent for a while.

"You're not here to see the excitement."

Yes, of course I'm not here to see the excitement, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have the leisure time to watch other people's excitement.

The other party also knows that if I come with hostility, I won't talk nonsense at all, and I will cut it when I come up.

And since it's not a good thing to say, it's a matter of sincerity anyway.

However, if someone is going to fight against me, I don't mind charging some interest first.

I remained silent, just patiently building longer and longer nails, and I was a little negligent in my busy journey these days.

After a long silence, I finally spoke.

"On behalf of the Lan Alliance and the Southern Sect, I have re-concluded an alliance with you. Happy, I'm here to give you a hand. ”――

If I want to discuss who has the most bitter enmity with the Templar Church, I'm afraid I'm definitely at the forefront.

If anyone in this plane wants the Templar church to finish playing, I'm definitely at the forefront.

My own enmity, the enmity of the Lan country, the enmity of Estrada, the grievances of the Lan tribe in the north over the years, and the recent open and secret fighting, I was besieged and killed not long ago.

I really want the Templar to finish playing quickly, but on a global scale, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Templar to finish playing quickly.

The tree was so big that the sky fell down on the top of the tall people, and now the tallest one was undoubtedly the Templar Church.

It was inevitable that the Abyss side would pursue the Templar forces fiercely, and if they did not find trouble with the Templar forces, they would naturally seek trouble from other countries and organizations.

The current situation is undoubtedly a trap for the Templar Church.

Continuing to be involved in the civil war will not only damage its prestige, but also the constant flow of Templar reinforcements will consume its vital strength and bleed on its massive torso.

If you abandon San Antonio, your reputation will be damaged, and you will lose a lot of blood.

If it's a weekday, let alone help, I'm in a good mood if I don't make up for it.

But now, it has only been ten years since the Holy War began, and he has fallen a little quickly, and in "history", the Templar Church has lasted for nearly two hundred years before it completely exists in name only.

Even if those bishops and pastors were all kinds of failures, because their family backgrounds were really strong enough, they also failed for many years, and it was not like the current situation, and the whole church fell into crisis so quickly.

Looking at the process from the conclusion, it is undoubtedly that I kept digging into the corners of the Templar Church, which made him fall into a disadvantage from the beginning, and after losing the support of the entire human power, compared with the top power that unified all the superpowers in "history", it naturally seemed to be strong on the outside.

The Templar Church can fall, I even hope that he will fall, the Lord of Light should fall, I curse him to fall as soon as possible, but it is definitely not what should happen in these twenty years.

With a little deduction, you can see what will happen to the Templar Church once it falls.

At the level of ordinary people. It was the sky falling, and the general lack of faith. It is also a chain ending of losing confidence in the victory of the entire holy war. Confidence and morale are ethereal things to say, but they are really affecting the situation of the war everywhere.

If the flag falls, it can be re-established, but if it falls so quickly, I don't know if the abyss side will give us time to stand up again.

In my timeline, the Templar Church is supposed to be slowly declining to death, and in the process, a new generation of heroes and gods from all over the world gradually builds new forces and organizations, and flagpoles are planted all over the world. It's nothing if the banner falls.

And from the perspective of high-level combat power, the Holy Light Faith has suffered a major blow, the number of believers has been greatly reduced, and the already weakened Lord of the Holy Light has been sharply weakened and no longer "invincible", then the fun is really great.

Then, all the abyss main gods and demon lords will lose their fears and step into the main plane without hesitation, who will deal with the abyss main gods who will form a group when the time comes.

Now the high-level forces of both sides are in a delicate balance, and as the strongest existence in the world (there is no one). The share of the Lord of Light is too great, once he is weakened. The unspoken rules of the so-called gods naturally disappeared without a trace, and the bigwigs of all parties would appear in person, and the progress of the holy war was greatly advanced.

Although this scene will happen sooner or later, it should at least wait for the new seeds to sprout, there have been many new generations of outstanding people in various parts of the holy war, but it is still very early for them to be able to take charge on their own, those new generations of heroic reincarnations, now only ten years old, and when they reach adulthood, it will greatly enhance the situation in various places.

From Lan Meng's point of view, the fall of the Templar Church was not a good thing.

Because the meat shield that represents the attraction of firepower is gone, and the situation of the Lan Alliance is so good that everyone can see it, then, the demons can also see it, compared to other towering trees that are difficult to shake, the big guys on the abyss side will naturally step on this well-developed small tree bud first.

A new technological revolution is taking place, and every day something new is happening, and the longer it drags on, the stronger the vitality of this plane.

So, at this juncture, the Church must not fall.

Helpless, even if there is a lot of helplessness, even if I am full of resentment and see the overall situation, I can only come alone while nagging "I'm just for myself" and continue them.

Of course, I won't tell the truth, and in terms of face, I'm just exchanging a new covenant as a former ally.

"The covenant between the Lan League and the Southern Sect? At this juncture, it is indeed very attractive, so, the price? ”

The old pope, on crutches, stretched out his hand and asked me what the price would be.

"All...... Ahem, I mean, of course, it's not without a price, and I don't worry if I don't take advantage of the fire to rob you, don't worry, I want a lot. ”

Since I'm here, if I don't want to knock on a stroke, how can I be willing.

After more than two hours, I left with a few scrolls satisfied, leaving the room with the Pope and the Cardinals with grim-faced faces.

What did I want?

First of all, I asked for the Holy Front Alliance of the entire Northland.

Anyway, the Templar forces don't have time to control the north now, and I don't ask those who originally defected to the Lan Alliance as a country, I just ask the several churches in the north to give up their hostility with the Lan League, prohibit the material supervision and control of the Lan Alliance, and then the Templar Church headquarters must withdraw from the north.

This is acceptable to the Templar Church, because they don't have much territory in the north in the first place, and the Holy Front in the north has also caused a lot of controversy in the church, and the large investment of manpower and material resources has no benefit, and they are always worried about causing all-out hostility with the Lan League, and when the situation in the hinterland of the mainland is getting worse and worse, it seems very stupid to invest resources in the north, which is not directly related.

And once the new covenant is decided, that line of defense will be even more wasteful and meaningless.

And what can Lanmeng gain from it? I can only say many, too many to count.

Secondly, I demand that the doctrine of the Pure Light of the Southern sect be recognized as the orthodox doctrine of the Holy Light (one) and that Estrada be posthumously crowned as a martyr and a saint.

When I spoke, the whole room was silent for five minutes, and all the bishops looked at me and wanted to eat me raw.

The church is a religious organization rather than a political organization, and doctrinal disagreement is a top priority for the church. Even if the whole church is destroyed. Doctrine is also irreplaceable.

The teachings of the Southern Sect that do not honor the Lord of Light are orthodox. So, what is the God of Light, and what is the Templar Church that believes in the God of Light as the supreme god.

This is impossible to agree to the destruction of the entire church.

But since it is necessary to reach an alliance with the southern sect in a certain sense, it is necessary to at least acquiesce in the legitimacy of the other party, and in a sense, it is to recognize the existence of the other party.

It's okay to tacitly acquiesce to this kind of thing privately, and I'm going to pull it out. It's a stupid thing to lose in diplomacy, but I'm very happy to see that angry red old face, and the unlucky guy with an irregular heart to wash himself with holy light.

I know that it is impossible for the other party to agree to "identify with orthodoxy", so I just put forward it to disgust them, and the latter request and proposal is not only disgusting, but also contains evil intentions.

With Estrada's prestige and past exploits, it is really not an exaggeration to give the title of martyr and saint, even if. These claims used to circulate among the Templar forces, but eventually. Everyone tacitly forgot about this old knight who had dedicated his life to the Light.

Cause? It was the incarnation of the Lord of Light who killed him, the will of the Lord of Light.

What, then, is the Lord of Light who canonizes him as a martyr and a saint and as a murderer?

When I said "admit orthodoxy" earlier, those old guys just jumped to their feet in anger, and their hearts couldn't bear it, so they brushed themselves with holy light, and after I asked for Estrada to be canonized, they even fell down directly with their chests in their hands, and they could almost see the artificial respiration between the old men.

And when this situation appeared, I still saw that the representatives of the paladins and the archpriest were very eager to speak, and finally after the eye exchange, they kept a unified silence with a complicated expression.

In a hundred years, Estrada may be able to become the largest black history of the Templar Church, but at present, his disciples, the teachables, and the beneficiaries are still all over the Templar Church.

There are not a few grassroots paladins and priests who privately sympathize with those "martyrs of pure light", but they feel that the Lord of Light is too much, so there are many grassroots people who have shaken their faith in him, so that there will be a voice within the church to speak of Estrada.

I believe that when I am gone, when the Southern Sect and the Templar Church maintain a certain distance and peace in private, the voice of Tie Estrada will become louder and louder, and then, with the passage of time, this will shake the hearts of the people at the root.

"I'm a disciple of Estrada, and I'm also the strongest Knight of Light in the world, and I've inherited the Hammer of Light and the Way of Guardianship, isn't it normal for me to cry out for my mentor?"

My words are very simple, very direct, very sincere, all the truth, all from the bottom of my heart.

After these words, the sword of holy light on my waist became the focus of the entire conference room, and when it was determined that I broke through the concept of demigods was indeed holy light, the other paladins and priests of holy light looked at me with obvious changes in their eyes, and their vigilance was still there, but they had a little more respect and understanding.

The heir to the Warhammer has always been the spiritual leader of the paladin, both titular and in fact, and I am embarrassed to be in this position, but as a full-fledged paladin, at least he will show me friendliness and basic etiquette.

This topic finally comes to the point, after all, the Lord of Light is an existence that we can't bypass, and I'm afraid that there will be a religious war, and we are here to sign the covenant today.

"Well, I know your difficulties, so at least the gag on Estrada can be lifted, it's not something that the Light wants you to do. Estrada has served the church all his life, at least let the younger generations know who he is. That's not too much to ask,"

The surrounding paladins and priests nodded silently, and seeing this situation, Caloma, who sighed, finally made a concession.

Although neither the canonization nor the recognition of the Orthodox Templar Church agreed, they also made concessions, keeping peace with the Southern sects in private was part of the covenant, and talking about and commemorating Estrada in private was also banned.

And these are only the most uncontroversial and acceptable parts of this covenant destined to go down in history.

"In the 10th year of the Dawn Era, the Templar Church signed a private covenant with the Southern Sect and the Lan League, reaching a reconciliation known as the 'League of Betrayers'...... Ha, I like that, write it down in a little notebook. (To be continued.) )
