Chapter 46: The Past (10)

"What! three more bishops and one archbishop have been killed!, still in Cité Pierre!" the Pope's angry roar echoed through the Papal Castle.

"My lord, this must be the revenge of the Calais. This time, we can't hold back any longer!" said one of the four cardinals, angrily to the Pope.

The current Pope Peel IV is frowning, and cardinals can vent their anger at him, but he can't find anyone else to vent. Because once the Pope is angry, the impact is too terrifying. He was thinking, the bishops, archbishops, and even cardinals of the Church have lost a lot in these nearly two months, what is it that gives the Calais so much courage to dare to directly challenge the majesty of the Church?

Peel had also considered whether something like the Dark Ages would happen, but that was too unlikely. Moreover, the Lord has stepped in to pacify the darkness. Therefore, Peel only gave up on this idea after a little thought,

In his opinion, at present, only the Calais on the continent possess this ability. If you don't test it, it seems that you will never know what kind of power Calais has acquired. Gained the ability to dare to face the church......? Let's give it a try

Pope Peel announced that the Holy See Archbishop would be convened in the city of Jeho.

will be there

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most devout believers of the Lord, you must have heard of it. The Church has recently sent a blessing to a cardinal, five archbishops and three bishops to the kingdom of heaven, so that we can bless them with bliss in the kingdom of heaven!" The attendees, all imitating the Pope's actions, began to pray.

"Of course we want to bless these children of the Lord who have gone to heaven. However, we must inherit their legacy, to spread light in the world. There are still many places on the continent that are shrouded in darkness, and I hereby call on you to clear the darkness and restore the light to the world!"

When the archbishops in the audience heard these words, their bodies were shocked. Immediately, it was divided into two factions, the main battle faction and the main peace faction.

The archbishops present all knew what darkness the Pope was talking about, and it was clear what the Pope meant that the Calais and the Church were going to war again.

"My lord, our brothers have defended the glory of the Lord with their lives, and we must continue their path and destroy Calais!"

The Pope smiled and nodded. "Archbishop Karsola said it well. However, our goal is not Calais but all the darkness on the continent, Calais is in the same vein as our Yahweh Church, but the philosophy is different, how can it be considered darkness? What we have to do is to make them identify with us in a reasonable way. ”

Isn't the so-called reasonable way the so-called force force?" an archbishop of the Lordship and faction muttered to himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we will raise our hands to vote on whether or not to launch an operation to purge the darkness!

Seeing the Pope raise his hand in support of the action, the original Lords and factions quickly defected and raised their hands one after another. Seeing that the archbishops present supported the operation, the Pope clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"This operation is scheduled to be Jihad Six. Guys, get ready. In the battle against darkness, we will certainly have sacrifices, but I hope that you will move forward courageously and never forget your mission!

On the same day at the Calais headquarters

"The Yahwa side has prepared the Jihad Six plan, and it's time for us to come up with our battle plan. In response to the brutal purge of the church, we decided to carry out Project Glorious Six. Prepare the archbishops, for in the coming days we will fight with the Church for every inch of land. Remember, every battle you fight will be a mark in history!

Miss Li Xuan, who single-handedly created all this chaos, was still drunk and asleep in Pierre City at this time, and she was still wearing the blue dress she had purchased in Wisney City, riding a little white horse. Her aura is completely restrained, just like an ordinary girl. But her unconsciously revealing noble temperament makes people dare not approach her. In this way, in the crowd, Li Xuan came and went gently. Everyone notices her, but they ignore her. Tethered her little white horse, Li Xuan stepped into a tavern, which she came to three times a day, morning, noon and evening.

"Miss, here you go again? What do you drink today? Or rum?"

Li Xuan nodded, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. The bartender here is an old man, dressed in a neat suit and with sleek silver hair.

"Miss, there are very few girls like you who love to drink. ”

Li Xuan didn't answer, her eyes were like black holes, full of endless attraction. No one could guess what she was thinking.

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't reply, the old man didn't talk anymore and concentrated on bartending.

"Old man?" Li Xuan looked out of the tavern through the window, and casually called out to the bartender who was preparing.

"Miss, what do you command?"

"Sir, how many years have you been bartending here?"

The old man wiped his glass, and since it was afternoon, the number of people in the tavern was pitiful. The past flows like water in dry memories. "I can't remember the days I used to bartend here, probably thirty years ago. I always remember those smiling faces, though. Those, smiling faces after drinking good wine. Whenever I wanted to give up my job, it was the people who felt happy with the wine I mixed that gave me motivation. They gave me reason to look forward to the next smiley face. ”

The air in the store became unusually quiet, and Li Xuan was deeply shocked by the old man's words. Isn't what she does the same as the old man, bringing relief to those souls who are really tormented? She sat in front of the bar in the tavern, with her back to the old man and not looking back for a long time, two tears streaming down her cheeks.

She stood up and patted her head gently. "If I can still come back here, then I hope you can continue to pour me wine. The words fell, Li Xuan disappeared into the tavern, the cute little white horse was left in the tavern by Li Xuan, and Li Xuan left a letter on horseback, hoping that the old gentleman could take good care of it.

Seeing Li Xuan disappear suddenly, the old man did not appear too surprised, and he continued to wipe the wine glass in his hand. He muttered, "Good luck my child." ”

The Church and the Calais have their eyes set on the city of Pierre, a city that has just lost an archbishop and three bishops, and the funeral of these deceased people at this special time is a good opportunity to announce the decision of the Church and stir up the hearts of the people. In the same way, Calais believed that if the blow to the Church was completed at this funeral, the blow to the majesty of the Church would be great. Once the church is defeated here, the rest of the action will go much more smoothly. Therefore, around this funeral, both sides began to plan carefully.

Two of the four cardinals of the Church had arrived secretly in Cité Pierre, accompanied by a full ten archbishops. On the Calais side, three cardinals and sixteen archbishops were already on their way, and even though the city of Pierre was close to the headquarters of the church, the city of Jeho, the Calais were confident that they would defeat the church here. Both sides knew that this was another head-on clash between the Church and the Calais since the Treaty of Pudino, and whoever won first would bring great encouragement to the future battles.

Our Miss Li Xuan left the tavern and came to the church, and the people in the church naturally recognized Miss Li Xuan.

"Praise the Lord, is the church preparing for a funeral in the near future?" Li Xuan asked the probationary priest guarding the door suspiciously.

"Yes, Mademoiselle, you may not know that Archbishop Dorto was killed by the Calais Assassins, and the Church is preparing to hold a funeral for him. ”

"May Archbishop Dorto be well in heaven. Hearing the news, Li Xuan immediately prayed for Bishop Dolto.

"Allow me to attend the funeral of Mr. Dorto, the most devout believer of the Lord, who has been the object of my greatest admiration during his lifetime. Li Xuan's grief-stricken probationary priest asked, even though the probationary priest had been ordered by the newly arrived archbishop to strictly forbid anyone to enter the church during the funeral, but ...... This young lady ...... Her eyes are so beautiful........

Indeed, Li Xuan's eyes seemed to have a star twinkling, sometimes bright, sometimes vanishing, and in a flash, the trainee priest had dedicated his soul to Li Xuan.

"A church funeral? Hmph, I'm going to make this funeral a bigger one. Li Xuan said softly. Then, she stepped into the church with a sad countenance, but her eyes revealed firmness, a determination to change the world.
