"Fallen heretics in Stormcastle?" Kasmai continued with a sneer, "There are no heretics in Stormcastle, and everyone is extremely devout believers. Will, you insulted the bishop of a city without any evidence, are you blind to the canon?"

Carsmai's sudden remarks and insults were completely beyond Will's expectations, a little abandoned bishop of Storm Fort actually dared to insult himself?

"Kasmai, you dare to insult me?"

Faced with Will's disbelieving expression, Carsmai completely let go and replied, "I insulted you? I just feel glad that the seminary taught you a bishop who can't even memorize the law, but fortunately I didn't go in." ”

In fact, in terms of mouth cannon ability, Kasmai is not weak at all, but he was limited by his identity before, which caused him to endure all the time. Now after letting go, Kasmai is also a bishop of a city, even if it is customary within the Holy See that the bishop of a small city is half a level lower, but on the bright side, Will and Kasmai are at the same level!

Now Will was completely shocked, although Carsmail had always been on the same level as himself before, but in the diocese of the French Empire, almost no one regarded Carsmail as a bishop, a person who was looked down upon or even ignored by himself, and now stepped on his face, this insult to Will was naturally unbearable!

"Kasmai, in my capacity as a deacon of the Judgment, declare your betrayal of the Faith of Light. From now on, you will be imprisoned by the Teutonic knights and sent to the Holy City to face the trial of Tendy!"

Will was furious at the moment, and he was ready to arrest Kasmai directly and put him on trial by Tente.

Almost at the same time as Will announced, Carsmai replied in the same loud voice: "Joke, I am also a bishop, and without the decree of the Cardinal of the Holy See of France, you are worthy of declaring me a betrayal of the Faith of Light by virtue of you, a judge deacon?"

The dismissal and resignation of a bishop in an imperial diocese requires a decree from the highest clergy, the cardinal, to take effect. Will can only judge the status of a deacon at most, and cannot judge an ordinary priest, not a bishop of the same rank.

Sure enough, when Carsmail said this, Will's face turned green, he used to look down on Carsmer's small role, but the reality is that no matter how powerless Carsmai is, his priesthood is still not low, and he has no legal principle of judgment.

However, Will did not intend to obey the fatwa, because this time the conquest of Stormcastle did not have the cardinal's order.

"Teutonic knights, arrest this apostate!"

Will gave orders directly to the Teutonic knights at this time, although these knights knew that according to the law Will had no right to directly arrest Carsmail, but Ryder and Archbishop Auray had already given orders, and Will's orders must be carried out, so the Teutonic knights tightened their horses and prepared to start the operation.

But at this moment, a lazy voice sounded: "Arrest people on my territory, have you asked me?"

The person who made this voice was naturally Duke, and although Kasmai was not a confidant before, he did already play for Stormcastle. And in this case, if Casmeel is arrested by Will, where will he put the face of the boss of Storm Castle, and a little brother can't cover it?

Duke's words added fuel to the fire of Will, who was already extremely angry. Kasmai is also a clergyman, and even has the status of a bishop, so he endured it. Duke is something, just a small viscount, the nobility is not as good as a dog in front of the Holy See, even if it is the emperor of the French Empire, Will doesn't need to give much face.

Because no matter how arrogant he is, secular power can't dispose of himself, so the papal army and clergy in the empire are almost the same as the foreign lords of the concession in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, which is why Henry IV chose to rebel.

"Duke, are you provoking the Holy See?"

"I didn't, but this is Stormcastle, and it's not good to arrest a bishop like that. ”

Duke still smiled back, not paying any attention to Will and the Teutonic knights in front of him. He may not be able to stop the Holy See's army, but this knight squad of more than 100 people, Duke really didn't pay attention to it!

Will almost felt that he had heard a joke, the Holy See arrested heretics and apostates, and still need to see the territory of the lord? If it weren't for the fact that he only had a hundred Teutonic knights, he might have arrested Duke directly.

At this time, Ott also came out and fanned the flames and said: "Duke, you are just a little Lord of Storm Castle, and you actually prevent the Holy See from trial, do you really think that Duke Otto can protect you!"

It's good that Ott didn't speak, Duke had almost forgotten about this person, and this speech reminded Duke that this was not the son of Count Fili of Alpine City?

"Is there anything you have to say here, what are you?"

Duke replied mercilessly, not even a serious gaze, because for a small character like Ott, who would put him in his eyes when he left Alpine City.

Ott thought that when he came over this time, he would see Duke begging for mercy from the Holy See, and then he would be able to return the humiliation he had received that day. As a result, when I arrived at Storm Castle, I realized that Duke was as arrogant as ever, and even the Holy See Inquisition didn't pay attention to it, so couldn't he really sanction this lord?

"Lord Will, Duke not only obstructed the law enforcement of the Inquisition, but also openly opposed the Holy See, and now that the evidence is conclusive, I think he can be directly judged a heretic!"

Hearing Ott's words, Will's face turned cold, and indeed Duke's actions were enough to be regarded as a provocation to the Holy See. But if he is convicted, he must arrest Carsmail and Duke, and with only a hundred Teutonic knights around him, it is almost impossible to arrest him with a huge numerical disadvantage. But if he is convicted and does not arrest and leaves, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the Holy See and himself, and the Holy See has not yet dared to arrest him.

After much thought, Will decided to start a trial, the Cult of Light had no precedent for bowing down to a minor lord, and he firmly believed that Duke, no matter how bold he was, would not be stupid enough to challenge the Holy See at his own death.

"The Teutonic knights have been ordered to enter the Storm Castle to conduct a religious investigation, and anyone who dares to stand in the way will be condemned as heretical!"

After saying this, Will looked at Duke with a cold face, at this moment he finally began to show the momentum and majesty of the bishop of a city, the Holy See enforces the law, and never needs the consent of the lord!

At the same time, the Teutonic knight also held up the black cross shield, drew his long sword to face Duke, and prepared to start charging! As one of the three major knights of the Holy See, the Teutonic knight naturally had his own pride, and he didn't take the lord's private army in his eyes at all!
