Chapter 677: Threat
"St. Paul!" Cardinal Abraham took advantage of the protest of various countries and major temples, and his voice also became high-pitched and loud, and he shouted: "St. Paul, you are trying to steal the throne of the Pope of Light in the name of the God of Light, which is really a great crime.
Abraham's loud shout, not to mention that he didn't stop St. Paul, even the thirty-six white-clothed bishops on the periphery sneered with some disdain. When did the internal affairs of the Church of Light still have outsiders to interfere? Cardinal Abraham's cardinal nature has just exposed his fierce and inward-looking nature, and some of Abraham's old bishops were still a little hesitant in their hearts, worried that Abraham would turn the situation around, and were considering whether they should stand up and support him, but now the discerning people know at a glance that he is already at the end of his crossbow and cannot fight St. Paul at all.
Originally, among the three cardinal archbishops of the Church of Light, St. Paul, who was in charge of the Inquisition, was the least popular, and apart from a few fanatics, there were not many whiteclothed cardinals who supported St. Paul;
It's a pity that Abraham doesn't have a good father like St. Paul, who has the hardest thighs on his back, plus Abraham deals with internal affairs all the year round, so he is not as knowledgeable as Cardinal Owen, and he doesn't have the ruthlessness that St. Paul has cultivated all year round to hunt down heretics and clean up blasphemers.
When Cardinal Owen lost power, if Abraham could resist the Pope's foreign orders and not leave the Holy City, he might be able to win the support of the majority of the whitelords, even if Pope San Francisco was strong, he could not ignore the opinion of the majority of the whitelords.
But Abraham's insensitivity to current affairs made him miss a good opportunity, and the father and son of San Francisco and St. Paul took advantage of the opportunity of Cardinal Abraham to leave the Holy City, and used various means to forcibly integrate the whitecoats under the command of the original Cardinal Owen, relying on the strength of the two factions to force those whitecoats who originally supported Abraham, and using the means of breaking down one by one to pull those whitecoats into their camp one by one.
By the time Cardinal Abraham rushed back to the Holy City under Leo's reminder, the tide was already over, and he could only try his best to win over a few of his close friends. And before the coronation, the secret meeting of the Dark Speaker gave Abraham a new glimpse of his hope of seizing power, and under the ideal vision that the Dark Speaker tried to portray, Abraham once again naively thought that he could save everything.
But what he did made the white-clothed bishops who had followed him faithfully once again see his naivety and unreality, and with the constant coercion and temptation of St. Paul, the opening scene was produced, in which all 36 white-clothed bishops were on St. Paul's side.
Standing on the pulpit, St. Paul looked at Abraham in the audience with a playful look like a clown, and said to him with a look of sympathy and contempt in his eyes: "It is a pity that Abraham, according to the canons of the Church of Light, I have won the support of all the white bishops and unanimously passed to become the Pope of Light." As for you and the envoys and priests who support you, I can only regret to tell you that this will not affect the internal decisions of the Church of Light at all!"
After speaking, Pope St. Paul slammed the papal scepter in his hand on the pulpit, and announced to the thirty-six white-clothed bishops with solemn faces: "I now issue a decree of my new pope: to immediately remove Abraham from the post of cardinal archbishop in the name of colluding with foreign forces to interfere in the affairs of the church!"
"Bastard, you dare?!" Abraham cried out as if he had been stepped on as if he had been stepped on by his tail when he heard that St. Paul was going to be relieved of his position as cardinal.
The envoys and priests in the audience also turned dark, they didn't expect that under the collective opposition of so many countries and temples, St. Paul would completely ignore it, and even launch a counterattack, which simply ignored them at all.
"Your Majesty St. Paul, I would like to remind you from the bottom of my heart that the papal position of the Church of Light is very important, and it will involve the historical trend of the entire continent and the stability of the human alliance, please consider carefully before making a decision!" said to St. Paul with a gloomy face and a hint of threat.
"Yes, for the sake of the stability and development of the entire human alliance, the Church of Light must not make such a hasty decision!" As if inspired by Duke Rawls, the priests of those temples also began to stand up in support.
Even a gentleman like Prince Moraya in the crowd had already begun to threaten and threaten: "If the Church of Light insists on going its own way, our missions will not sit idly by, and if anyone is hurt at that time, everyone's face will not look good!"
Since the Church of Light did not prevent the entrance of the mission guards when they first entered, the envoys of various countries brought their guards with them, and the large area of the Chapel Hall of the Cathedral of Light was enough to accommodate the thousands of people, and it was not crowded.
Hearing Prince Moraya's words, the knights of the guards also pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, making a tense and threatening gesture. Seeing this scene, Abraham's heart felt as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and he even wished that the knights of the mission would rush up and kill St. Paul on the spot, so as to avoid future troubles.
The envoys of various countries dared to make such arrogant threats, naturally because those knights of light had already withdrawn from the Cathedral of Light, and now there were only thirty-six whitelords in the chapel hall, except for the two popes of St. Paul and San Francisco, and the number of guards and knights brought by each mission was more than dozens of times that of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten that the position of Pope of Light is an internal affair of the Church of Light, and you have no right to interfere at all? Have you forgotten that this is the most sacred Cathedral of Light in the Church of Light? Do you really think that the Church of Light is easy to bully? Do you really think that I, St. Paul, have no temper?"
St. Paul's rhetorical questions one after another, like a cold wind from the northern wilderness, instantly blew through the entire chapel, making many envoys instantly remind many of the many terrifying methods of the Church of Light, once they retaliated, it would be tantamount to a catastrophe for their own country!
"Hmph, who wouldn't say a big thing, just a few of you, can you stand up to so many knights? Do you think you are a god of law or a saint of law?" asked the prince of Moraya, who did not believe that St. Paul could resist so many knights.
