Chapter 738: Turmoil in the North
While the Holy City was reeling from a large-scale uprising in the north, new news came in, and the news was temporarily blocked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Holy City, only the nine bishops of the Holy Council knew about it, because it was too appalling to be known.
Once the word spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation, and the Bishop of Light, led by Griff, is arguing in the church in order to deal with this problem.
After all, no one had expected this kind of thing, and they were not sure about the authenticity of the news, so they were roughly divided into two factions.
"Isn't Lord Gregor leading an army to the east, and that's an army of 100,000 men, enough to crush the Empire, right? But it's only been a long time, and even if you don't get back the good news from Lord Gregor, you actually say that an enemy has invaded our territory?
"Even if they really want to fight on our land, they must first deal with the army under Lord Gregor, who else can fight against the 100,000 army? Forget it, they don't have this strength at all now, the Federation is possible, but it is impossible to divide the victory in a short time. ”
"But the news is clearly here, the two cities of Ghost City and Shura City have fallen one after another, and they are now in a state of collapse, and they are advancing rapidly towards the Holy City, if we don't prepare in advance, when they come to the city, will they all surrender honestly?
The Bishops of Light have never been able to figure it out, it is clear that they are the attackers, but in the past few months, they have become passive defenders.
And this kind of thing has never happened in history, who is the one who did it, to fight against the divine power?
"You don't have to quarrel anymore and be quiet, we have reached this point, there is no way to solve the problem just by arguing, although they are fierce, but they are only in the two cities of Ghost City and Shura City, where there is no city defense, and our foundation is not stable, so it has fallen. ”
"But once we enter the city area under our control, with the support of millions of believers, no matter what kind of enemy there is, there is no way to take our land, and it is simply a fool's dream to attack the Holy City, so before that, we still have to focus on the Valley of Atonement in the north. ”
"It's not the army that can give us a headache, we want as many soldiers, and the only thing that can shake us is ...... I think you should understand what I mean, until the situation in the north is calmed, this news must be blocked, and it must not be known to the believers, understand?"
Griff stopped the bishops' quarrel, and thought that the small uprising in the north would be quickly quelled in a short time.
But he apparently underestimated the strength of the group of exiles in the north who had been exiled for more than thirty years and their descendants, who were repulsed several times.
If it is not suppressed, it will inevitably lead to serious consequences, and Griff's greatest fear is not that he has a formidable enemy.
Because he knew that no matter how powerful an enemy was, he would not be able to defeat millions of believers, but if the enemy came from within, once the embers rekindled.
Then the very foundation of their rule, the power of faith, will be shaken, and that will be the devastating and catastrophic consequences that none of them want to see!
"Is it in the north? There is indeed chaos there now, and I wonder why they have endured it for more than thirty years, and why they are stirring up trouble at this time. ”
"Do you think that the unrest in the north has anything to do with the enemy from the east? ”
"But I really don't know how Archbishop Gregor is doing now, whether he has failed or ......"
The bishop spoke of Gregor with emotion, but quickly shook his head, stopped mentioning the name, and got up to leave.
Another cavalry departed from the Tower of Light, and they were to go to various areas to deliver orders, some of them to the east, and the other to the north.
Alfonso and Austin have been excluded from the core power of the Church of Light for a while, but they have not been idle.
The two of them were keenly aware of the subtle changes in the land, especially Alfonso, who was not willing to sink like this.
He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to regain his authority, and his defeat in the Empire proved his incompetence, which became strong evidence of the attack on him by the internal forces of the Church led by Gregor , but if he was not the only one who failed, but also Gregor was defeated.
Then the strength of the latter will definitely be dealt a heavy blow, and there is no third person within the church who can compete with them.
He will be able to quickly rally his power within the Church, re-defeat Gregor and enter the Holy Council!
The bell tower overlooks the entire holy city, with all the other buildings except for the sacred and majestic Tower of Light.
Alfonso and Austin watched the direction the soldiers left, and it became almost a daily routine to come here to observe the movement of the city.
"Although I have been confined to the Holy City for a while, and I have been excluded from the Holy Council, and I have no access to the core information, after observing for a while, I have found something unusual, and it seems that this silent land will once again ignite ominous flames. ”
Alfonso had a knack for judging the situation, otherwise he would not have developed the power of the Church in the empire.
Had it not been for the Empire's civil war, which ended with Rhaeggar's defeat, the Church's status would have been elevated according to his dealings with Rhaeggar.
It's just that all of this was ruined by the young boy, and both Rhaeggar's ambitions and his ambitions were all burned.
"Ominous flames...... It is now certain that the revolt in the north is intensifying, and the Holy Council has decided to continue to send reinforcements, and if it were normal, the best strategy they would have chosen would be to encircle and seal them off step by step, and completely block them in the Valley of Atonement. ”
"But there have been frequent transfers recently, and it is clear that they have become very anxious to solve the problems of the north in the shortest possible time, and they are so eager to solve the problems at any cost, and the only reasonable explanation is that new problems have arisen, and recently there have been transfers to the east......"
Austin paused at this point, and with his keen instincts as a soldier, he had already captured something unusual.
"Is it the East? Is it true that our previous suspicions are true? But in that case, the land is bound to go through turmoil, and Gregor is defeated...... Then my chance has come, I must go and meet the Pope, I must not miss this opportunity!"
Alfonso was ecstatic, and with his knowledge, it was easy to think of the whole situation, and quickly made his own plan.
He had been a confidant of the Pope in the first place, and now that Gregor had lost power, it would be a good opportunity to eliminate his henchmen.
Lady luck seems to be starting to favor him.
