Chapter 367, Tsing Yi Ronald
The almost perfect victory of the white cardinal St. Zachari and the white-armored chief paladin Christian in La Rochelle caused a global sensation and once again pushed the prestige of several conservative bishops to a high level.
Of course, several bishops who were radicals could no longer sit still, and the white cardinal St. Zachari and the chief paladin Christiana were transferred back to the planet Aramis as heroes, ostensibly in triumph, but in fact the radicals were afraid that they would rob them of their exploits.
Originally, the strategy of the radicals was to use the war with the Bordos to consume the conservatives' troops, so most of the troops sent out on the expedition this time were troops from the conservative diocese, and as long as these troops suffered heavy losses in the battle, the conservative diocese would naturally become unstable.
The radicals' plans were shattered by a hearty victory for Saint-Zachari. Not only captured the city of La Rochelle, but also inflicted heavy damage on the forward fleet of the Bordos star. The merits of this battle made the radicals red-eyed, especially the Orange and Green Bands, both of whom actively wanted to go to the front.
So after some procedures were completed, Cardinal St. Zachari and Cardinal Tsing Ronald were replaced from the front.
Unlike Saint Zachari's spring breeze, Ronald is full of iron.
Obadiah did not fulfill the instructions given to him by His Holiness the Pope, and although it was not a formal task, it was more important and secret than the task. Although Ronald did not know what the secret of the mysterious pot was, he believed that it must be something of great importance to His Majesty the Pope, but Obadiah lost it.
Obadiah was now in a state of guilt. He didn't wear a shirt. You can see the blood marks on his body that have been pumped out. He was pale and limp and locked in a cell surrounded by a laser fence.
His Holiness received the two victorious bishops in the Holy See and awarded St. Zachari and Ristiana a gold cup as an honour and reward in the presence of tens of thousands of Catholics and clergy.
After the solemn and grand ceremony of receiving the heroes. Richelieu met separately with Bishops Ronald and Obadiah in the Holy See.
Richelieu's lounge is lit with a few candles as illumination, and the flickering candlelight shines on the black solid wood desk and bookcase, showing a simple and solemn feeling. Richelieu sat on a red leather couch with a glass of bright red wine in his hand, and in front of him was Obadiah on his knees and Ronald standing on his knees.
Ronald can be said to have put a lot of effort into this paladin chief who is more than ten years younger than him. From the first sight of the two at the community church, Ronald identified the lost young man.
Ronald's success lies in his loyalty to the Pope. Nobody knows. Ronald, who was only a seminary student at the time, had a very deep exchange with Richelieu, who taught history at the time.
Ronald and several of his classmates were under Richelieu's care, and discovered that the history teacher was very knowledgeable and had a completely different understanding of the development of the church.
This is how several students at the time were attracted to the history teacher. They also formed a unified idea of each other through mutual communication and subtlety, an idea of the possible future development route of the church.
After graduating from seminary, Ronald and several of his classmates went to their respective communities to serve as community priests, and the history teacher suddenly became the president of the seminary.
Ten years after that. Richelieu began to work his way up the ranks. Unexpectedly became the Pope.
Ronald and his classmates also became radical bishops.
For his former mentor, Ronald has mixed feelings in his heart. After Richelieu became pope, the first few years of his life were very close to the bishops, and the church was also flourishing, and the conservative bishops were suppressed to the point of silence.
But since last year, Richelieu has not spoken to him formally for more than half a year. The Pope began to live in seclusion, and apart from an increasing number of public speeches proclaiming the doctrine and the Holy See, Ronald was rarely able to see the former teacher.
Ronald, who was already wondering, was not very optimistic about Richelieu starting this war. But as a consistent supporter, the other five bishops of the radical faction did not waver in the slightest.
War will consume a lot of manpower and material resources on Aramis Star. Shifting the focus of the congregation allows for a covert purge of supporters under conservative bishops. Only their radical ideas can propel the entire planet of Aramis forward, and the conservatives are a praying mantis standing in the way of this historical progress.
Ronald accepted the Pope's secret assignment to put something he didn't know about in the highest position in the center of La Rochelle. At the same time, he made the most trusted paladin chief Obadiah to protect him, and specially sent heavy troops and the Holy Knights, but he didn't expect that there was still a problem.
Richelieu took the last sip of red wine in his glass. The ritual just now was so long that it made him feel uncomfortable in his throat. He was an elderly man, and his previous career as a teacher had made his voice a little hoarse.
"Ronald, there's no need for you to embarrass your Paladin like this." Richelieu said, "He has done his duty, I know Obadiah, the enemy does not have enough strength, he will not give up easily." ”
"Your Excellency, this ......" Ronald originally wanted to intercede for his brother, but seeing the Pope take the initiative to say this, half of the burden in his heart has been lifted.
"Your Excellency, I know that I will be severely punished for my mission, but please also listen to what I have to say about the enemy. They had at least two strong men like me, and I fought with them for more than ten minutes but couldn't tell the winner. There are also some strong people with the same strength as the captain of the Holy Knights, although the number is not large, but ......"
Obadiah was about to continue, but Richelieu slowly reached out to stop him.
"I understand your two faithfulness to the church. I'm not going to pursue this matter, but I need your assurance that you won't reveal the task and the details. Richelieu's hoarse voice contained an awe-inspiring tone that shook Ronald and Obadia's bodies slightly.
You must know that Obadiah is a ninth-order Skywalker, but Richelieu can use his momentum to make him feel shocked.
"Your Excellency, we're not going to talk about it!" Obadiah spoke loudly, resolute and determined in his tone.
Richelieu nodded, a spark flashing in his old eyes. "There are two kinds of people who don't reveal secrets."
Both Ronald and Obadiah were taken aback, and the tone of their speech was a far cry from that of His Majesty the Pope, whom they were familiar with.
Richelieu still said slowly: "One is the dead. And the other is my soul puppet. ”
The four conservative bishops all returned to Alamis, and the original Blue Cardinal Ulysses and the White Cardinal St. Zachari commanded the battle in the frontline fleet, but now they were replaced by the Orange and Green Bishops.
The conservative bishops began to connect with each other, and although they were all inseparable from their respective dioceses, they still found time to come out for a video conference.
Saint Zachari also knew about the house arrest of the three bishops some time ago.
During the video conference, Saint Zachari frowned and said, "It seems that the Holy See is ready to start the operation?" ”
"It should be. This time, it should be their plan to transfer you back from the battlefield. Only if we are all on Aramis can they deal with each other together. Lattimore said. He had clearly smelled the conspiracy.
"So, it's best for us not to get together during this time, so as not to give them a chance to catch them all."
"What forces will the Holy See mobilize? Adjudication committee? ”
"I don't know yet, but it shouldn't be Rudolph. Last time I saw some aliens with the coat of arms of the Holy See, maybe ......," Bishop Ulysses guessed.
"It's too passive, we can't just guard against them."
"Yes, although we are called conservatives, it doesn't mean that we can't take the initiative!" Lattimore clenched his fists and said. (To be continued......)
