Chapter 488: Deliberately Revealed
A person like the high priest who is above all people is most afraid of death, he is afraid that the glory he has created will be buried in the hands of others after his death, and he wants to keep this right in his hands forever and forever.
He was reluctant to accept this kind of satisfaction of leaning over one side.
So when he found out that things were not as simple as he imagined, and that Jason's strength far exceeded his decades of calculations, he had the intention of escaping.
Because even when the Three Kingdoms united to encircle and suppress the Snake Worship Sect a hundred years ago, there was no such terrifying lineup of strong men.
This is simply forcing him to death!
It's just that Phil doesn't intend to let this extremely unstable factor out of his control, after all, the composition and history of the Snake Worship Cult are definitely not well-intentioned to the Lopez Kingdom.
Most of these people who chose to join the Snake Worship Sect were extremely hostile to the Lopez royal family and even the entire Lopez Kingdom, and if they temporarily joined his side to defend against Jason, Phil would be somewhat relieved.
At most, it's just a matter of being on the lookout for them, but once they're out of Phil's sight, Phil will have to pay an even greater price to guard against the Serpent Cult.
Therefore, Phil said with a sad expression: "Does the High Priest also intend to abandon me at this critical time?" I promise you, when this war is over, I will definitely compensate for the losses of the Snake Worship Sect a hundred years ago, and even the inclusion of the Snake Worship Sect as a legal religion is not a non-negotiable matter. β
Phil's eyes flickered when he said this, and the high priest didn't take this sentence seriously, just kidding, legalize the snake worship, and he was not afraid that the Holy See would run to the north desperately to find him trouble?
You must know that since the traces of the Holy Spirit Clan and other members of the hundred tribes in the north were exposed, the Holy See has shifted some of its attention to the north, he can't imagine what kind of things the group of madmen of the Holy See will do once the Snake Worship Sect is resurrected on the bright side.
Therefore, the high priest simply refused, and he also planned to return to the north and hide all the cultists under his command as soon as possible, at least to change the stronghold that had been operating for decades, otherwise he didn't dare to imagine that Jason, who had received a large part of the information about the Serpent Worship Sect from Hassan, would do anything cruel to them.
It may be that he can't make any big moves with Phil in check, but that won't be the case when the war is over.
As for where to retreat, he had already made a plan, although the Snake Worship Sect's development of the power accumulated over the past hundred years was not particularly terrifying, but it was not to be underestimated, because their tentacles were not only curled up in the territory of the Lopez Kingdom.
Even the interior of the Dolan Kingdom, known as the Pure Land of the North, has been corrupted by them, just like the Lopez Kingdom, where some of the corrupt nobles have been secretly corrupted and controlled by them.
After receiving the high priest's very simple refusal, Phil also knew that it was impossible to do it, so his face became more and more ugly, and he said in a very cold tone: "In this case, I hope that the high priest will be careful on the way back, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." β
After saying that, he let the guards outside send off the guests, he no longer thought about how to deal with Jason's attack now, he now wanted to think about whether there was a way to clean up the high priest and others.
That's right, the current Phil is such a cruel and extremely realistic person, and in his eyes there are only two kinds of people who have come into contact with him, one is a "friend" who can bring benefits to him, and the other is an enemy who may bring disaster to himself.
Now the High Priest is unfortunately included in his list of enemies, because he does not think that a single battle side by side can make this church organization that once fell in the hands of the Lopez Kingdom put aside its hatred and shake hands with him.
Such people are out-and-out madmen, and nothing can be more important than their beliefs.
"Immediately order our men to withdraw as quickly as possible, and we are going back to the north. The High Priest glanced faintly in the direction of the pit rider after leaving Phil's quarters, then turned to the pit viper knights who were following him, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Inform the Viper that the plan can begin." β
Even if he leaves, the plan almost fails because of Hassan's accident, but he will leave Jason and Phil with a lesson that will last a lifetime.
Snake worship is not a soft persimmon and waste, but poisonous snakes have sharp fangs and deadly venom.
After the High Priest left, Phil stood silent in the hall for a long time, and after a long time a rush of footsteps woke him up from his trance, and it turned out to be Cyber who had arrived.
Before he could salute Phil, Phil took a few steps forward and asked with a gloomy gaze, "Everything is done?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the route and time of the retreat of the High Priest of the Serpent Sect have been passed on through the people that Jason has planted on our side. Cyber nodded solemnly and replied, "And the news we released is that they plan to make a detour to attack Jason's camp, and it is not up to us to decide whether Jason will send someone to pursue him." β
Both of them will plant spies in each other's camp, and some of them may not be caught red-handed, as such spies who think they are well hidden can sometimes be very useful.
"Although the Snake Worship Sect suffered a large loss in this battle, there are still about two thousand warriors left, and it is impossible for the two thousand of them to retreat collectively, so the chance of being able to snipe the high priest is still a little small. Phil said with great regret.
He would love to see the Serpent Cult and Jason pinching each other.
It wasn't long before Jason did receive a message from the mid-level of Phil's barracks, and he looked at the small hide in his hand many times, with Arthur, CΓΊ Chulainn, and Hassan standing next to them.
After a while, seeing that Jason had no other movements than to watch, Hassan asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, since you have received information from the High Priest, why don't you give the order to pursue him?"
"Don't worry, don't you think something is wrong, do you think our people are qualified to have access to such a confidential matter?"
"You mean Phil deliberately revealed it to us at this time?" Arthur and Hassan asked, after one look at each other.
