Chapter 538: Abdication

The arrival of the Wyvern has once again brought panic to the inhabitants of Pritz City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But this panic quickly turned into reverence for Archduke Pritz after Leo jumped off the back of the two-legged wyvern.

The strong are respected, which is the immutable rule on the Alpha Continent. No matter how powerful Leo's legions were, and how powerful his generals were, they couldn't compare to the strength he himself showed. The people revered and believed in the strong, and after Leo showed that he was strong enough to make even the Wyvern surrender, his prestige in the city of Prydz instantly refreshed to a new level.

Countless young girls cheered for Grand Duke Pridzer, countless mercenaries waved their fists to cheer for Grand Duke Pulitzer, and countless residents vigorously cheered for Grand Duke Pulitz with their palms in celebration. At this moment, Leo felt the attention of all the people and the admiration of the people, this warm atmosphere made his heart surge, and finally understood why those emperors in history were so attached to and keen on power, it was really this feeling that people couldn't stop feeling a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

When Sidney jumped off the dragon's back with Leo, the head of the rose knight immediately felt the envious and jealous eyes of countless girls in the crowd, which made the proud head of the rose group raise his head slightly, and gently grabbed Leo's arm as if declaring sovereignty, and the little bird snuggled up to Leo's side, waving to the enthusiastic residents with him.

Compared with Leo, who was in high spirits at this time, His Majesty Pope San Francesco of the Church of Light had a dead and dejected expression. Abraham, who was sent to negotiate peace with Leo, has not yet received Leo's terms, and the captured church knights have not yet been ransomed, but the Holy Griffin Empire's pleas for help and alarm letters have been sent to the Pope's desk through magical teleportations.

Regarding the disappearance of the divinity of the god of the swamp, in fact, the god of light and other human gods also have senses, but it is not as obvious as the beast god lineage. Through communication with the God of Light, His Majesty Pope San Francisco had already learned the news, but he didn't expect the orcs to react so much, and the revenge came so quickly, and he didn't even care that the cold winter was coming.

The army of orcs who had been wrecked brought extremely heavy pressure to the major human kingdoms on the continent. This is different from the previous raids of the orcs, this is a life-and-death battle between races, if they can't resist it, I am afraid that humans will become slaves and food for the orcs.

As the second most powerful country in the continent, the Church of Light, which has always been the head of human faith, has always played a vanguard and leading position in the past counterattacks against orc invasions. The Knights of Light and the Knights of the Holy Inquisition have also made a name for themselves in several counter-attacks.

But this time is different from the past, the Knights of the Holy Judgment have all been captured, and the Knights of Light have also lost a small part of the Knights of Light and most of the trainee knights, although the strength of the main knights has not lost much, but it is a heavy blow to the morale of the Knights of Light. This huge loss of military strength also made the surrounding countries that had been bullied by the Bright Sect in the past ready to move.

However, at this time, the orc invasion occurred, and the under-armed Bright Sect could no longer afford to scold Fang Xuan as usual, and perhaps could only be reduced to a second-rate country that provided military resources and property for the human alliance on the mainland, which was difficult for the arrogant Bright Sect to accept.

His Majesty Pope Francisco, who is in charge of the entire Church and the Church, is really to blame for the repeated setbacks in a small principality, and there is a lot of gossip about His Majesty the Pope in the Church of Light, and this trend is getting more and more intense, and it is very obvious that someone is deliberately stirring up trouble behind the scenes. But in the eyes of His Majesty the Pope, these tricks are just trivial things that do not hurt the itch, and what really concerns the Pope is the crisis of confidence and the decline in reputation caused by the repeated setbacks of the Church of Light, which directly leads to the withdrawal and abandonment of some believers.

The Pope's authority stems from the approval of the God of Light, but after the loss of some believers, even the God of Light has shown dissatisfaction with San Francisco, and this is what really worries the Pope.

In view of this, His Majesty the Pope of San Francisco, after thinking about it for a long time, took advantage of the fact that Cardinal Owen was under house arrest and Cardinal Abraham was far away in Pritz City, publicly announced his abdication to the Church of Light and the Holy State, and appointed Cardinal St. Paul, who was in charge of the Inquisition and the Holy Orchestra, to succeed the pope.

Although Pope San Francisco has a bad reputation recently, the bishops and priests who stand on the side of Pope San Francisco still occupy the majority in the church, plus Cardinal Owen has no leader, and Cardinal Abraham is alone, so he can only pinch his nose and admit His Majesty the Pope's decision.

When the news of the Pope's abdication and the new Pope's inauguration spread across the continent along with a letter from the Holy Griffon Empire asking for help from the Orc Invasion, all the nations of the Human Alliance on the entire continent were plunged into horror and panic.

On this day, when Cardinal Abraham was giving an impassioned speech to Leo in the Grand Duchy's palace in Pritz City, Feng Xifan hurriedly came in from outside, with a rare look of urgency on his face.

After quietly reading the letter of request for help and the letter of abdication, Leo raised his eyes to look at Cardinal Abraham, who was slightly excited by his speech. With some narrowness in his heart, he handed two urgent letters to Abraham.

Abraham, who didn't know what was going on, took the two letters, and after reading them carefully, he couldn't help but be shocked: "This can't be! This is absolutely fake!"

Although Abraham knew in his heart that the abdication was clearly stamped with the papal seal, it was filled with the power of light that was difficult to forge. But Cardinal Abraham still couldn't believe it.

"Damn! This must have been done by San Francisco and his son while they were away from the church, no, it was a trap, they deliberately framed Cardinal Owen, and then deliberately transferred me out of the Holy City, and then created the established facts! It must be like this! They are simply too cunning! No, I can't just sit back and wait!" Cardinal Abraham's face was blue and red, cloudy and cloudy.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke of Pritz, I am very sorry for the rude because of the internal affairs of the Church. Unfortunately, it happened so suddenly that I was afraid I would not be able to stay in Pritz City any longer. Moreover, the orc invasion is imminent, and according to the wartime agreement of the Continental Human Alliance, all human kingdoms must put aside all their prejudices at this time and unite with the outside world, so I implore you to release all the captured church knights immediately, so that they can continue to make their due contributions to the human alliance, of course, the corresponding ransom will be made up by the church for you after the war. ”

It has to be said that Cardinal Abraham is indeed a talented person who handles internal affairs, and at such a moment, he still made a clear and completely reasonable request to Leo, so that Leo had to agree.
