The Pope looked at the envoy and the young guard with complicated eyes, and kept repeating three words in his heart—

Hit the trick!

As soon as the oracle's words were finished, Gregory's mind raced, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Eliot's greatest intention in saying those words at the luncheon was not to incite the masses to persist in resistance, but to completely anger his own Pope with an insulting betrayal;

"Elliot, what the hell do you want to do?" the Pope gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Chen, his thin body shaking.

"I don't want to do anything, my dear crown. "It's just what you wanted to do to me—you may have been frightened just now, but the order I gave to the little brother of Alexandria was only to knock you unconscious." I thought, you're working too hard these days, so you might as well rest for a few days and leave the church affairs to me. ”

The Pope stared at Lu Chen in a daze, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:

"Elliot, you want to take my power?"

"Why are you so surprised by this?" Lu Chen grinned, "I thought that after you put Lord Cromwell under house arrest, seizing power has become a legitimate act in the church!"

The usual sharp edge in the Pope's eyes is gradually dissipating. This old man, who had led the church for decades, shook his body and couldn't say a word in a trembling voice.

Lu Chen glanced at Alexander:

"Alexander, His Majesty the Pope seems to be tired, you go and help the next one. ”

Alexander said yes in a deep voice, and walked over to the Pope with his sword in hand.

The Pope took three steps back as if he had just woken up from a dream, pointed at Alexander, and said loudly:

"Guards, watch your actions! Are you going to infringe on the supreme leadership of the Holy Church?"

"Yo yo yo, why didn't you think of asking Captain Alice to arrest me when you asked her to pay attention to her behavior?" Lu Chen glanced at Alice next to him, who was trying to stand firm, and said sourly to the Pope.

The Pope glanced at the oracle in a panic, but did not bother to refute: His Majesty was constantly retreating in order to avoid Alexander, who was approaching his steps.

"Your Majesty," Alexander said in a solemn voice as he continued to approach the Pope, "only the policy of resistance of the Divine Envoy is in line with the will of the Holy Spirit, and I have decided to pledge allegiance only to the Divine Envoy from now on, whether it is to you or the Emperor, as long as there is an order from the Divine Envoy, I will raise my sword." ”

"This—this is trespassing!" cried the Pope in alarm, his back already touching the corner and unable to retreat, "young man, what kind of ecstasy soup has Eliot poured on you!"

"This is the power of truth, dear crown!" Lu Chen said falsely on the side, "Compared to you, little brother Alexander can only see what is right, and that's it......"

- "Stop!"

The sudden coquettish sound startled all three of them. Alexander finally stopped approaching the Pope, while Lu Chen and the Pope hurriedly looked at the speaker-

Alice, the deputy head of the Holy Knights, stood up tremblingly with her two-handed sword. The knightess's silver hair was already spread out, and her crystal eyes were filled with emotions of anger, humiliation, and shame, making her look like a mother beast that had just been attacked.

Eventually, the knight straightened up, but her whole body was still trembling with pain. She raised her two-handed sword "White Warbler" and pointed it at Alexander:

"Stop, guard. You're only seven steps away from me, and if you get any closer to the next step of the Pope's crown, my thrust will kill you!"

Lu Chen looked at the female knight's indomitable figure with interest, and Alexander glanced at Alice with contempt, as if he had not heard her warning, and was about to continue to approach the Pope.

"Stop, Stop!" Alice roared hoarsely, settling for a thrust—

"Stop, Alexander. "The gods gave the Lord a fluttering command, and at the same time prevented Alexander's advance, Alice's dash, and the tragic fate of the Pope's crown.

The young guard stopped five meters in front of the Pope, then turned around and stared at Alice with his sword like a tiger before it pounced.

The female knight retreats with her right leg, pulls out a lunge, holds her sword horizontally in front of her, and stabs forward in a lunge stance.

The two warriors were tense, the Pope was shrunk in the corner and shivering, and Lu Chen and Lu were examining the scene in front of them with relish.

"Lord God, Guard," Alice said in a deep voice, squinting her eyes, "Today, as long as I'm here, I won't allow you to touch a single hair under the crown!"

"That's a big breath. Lu Chen smiled and pointed to the scars on the female knight's flank armor, "Could it be that after Alexander's sword just now, do you still have the ability to continue fighting?"

The female knight took a deep breath, stared at the divine envoy, and gritted her teeth:

"There is no despicable sneak attack that can hurt a paladin protected by the Holy Spirit!"

Before Lu Chen could answer, Alice suddenly raised her arm and raised her clenched right fist into the air. Suddenly, wisps of dazzling golden light burst from the fingers of her leather gloves, and these golden rays flowed down the knightess's arms like some kind of liquid, and finally plated the surface of her entire body into a scorching golden yellow.

Yo, you're in good shape. Lu Chen looked at the curves of the female knight's body outlined by the holy light, and blew a flirtatious whistle that only a veteran hooligan would blow.

The light faded quickly, but Alice's whole person was already refreshed: she stood up majestically and deftly pulled the two-handed sword "White Oriole" in her hand into a sword flower, pointing at Alexander.

At this moment, any onlooker will have the illusion that the female knight in front of her was not hit by Alexander's blow at all just now!

But Lu Chen knew in his heart that this was the power of the Holy Technique "Healing Light".

In the combat records in the history of the Holy Knights, there are many glorious achievements such as "fighting two thousand with one hundred battles and killing seventy percent of the enemy".

As the saying goes, if you punch your master to death, even if the paladin is strong in martial arts, how can he defeat an enemy several times his size?

The real secret is the powerful recovery power that holy magic brings to the paladins.

Holy arts, a unique method passed down by paladins, do not require the user to be as gifted as a magician, but only need to be devout to the Holy Spirit and practice diligently. The entry standard for a paladin is to master more than two basic holy arts, and in history, the more powerful the legendary paladin, the more powerful the holy arts, the more powerful the holy arts, and even the combat power has increased exponentially.

The Holy Technique "Healing Light" is an entry-level trick that most paladins can master, but the power is not to be underestimated: just like Alice in front of her, after being irradiated by this "Healing Light", a person can heal in the blink of an eye as long as they are not fatally injured, and immediately return to a healthy state.

Historically, countless enemies of the Holy Church have been humiliated to death by this healing holy art on the battlefield: no matter how many paladins they have cut down, as long as the holy light shines, these paladins will make a comeback like the undead, and they can be called the undead on the battlefield.

At the same time, if you think about it with your ass, you can also know that the more it is used on the strong, the greater the benefit of the "Healing Light": an ordinary soldier, after being cured, will go up to continue to be cannon fodder, and after a dying master recovers from his injury, he can completely kill seven in and seven out.

And Alice, the deputy head of the Holy Knights and the dignified first-class knight chief, how strong can she be after being treated by the "Healing Light" and returning to her peak state?

- Lu Daguan smiled and looked at the battlefield in front of him with anticipation.
