Chapter 748: Dissolution of the Parliament
In the Holy Council Hall of the Tower of Light, Griff stepped forward when Archbishop Gregor of Light was on an expedition to the Empire, and so far there was little news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He, Gregor's confidant, is responsible for the affairs of the Holy Council, and makes major decisions to maintain the day-to-day operations.
This included the decision to go north to suppress the rebellion in the Valley of Atonement, but with the total rout in the north, Griff realized that something was wrong.
He decided to shrink his defense line and retreat to the defense of the Holy Shield City, the Holy Spear City, the Holy Helmet City, and the Holy Sword City, which were actually controlled by the Church of Light.
After all, these urban churches of light have been in business for hundreds of years, and the foundation of the faithful is deep, and the city is too strong.
As long as the battlefield is within his sphere of influence, Griff believes that he will be able to gradually turn the situation around, because he knows the weakness of the other side, even if they are invincible on the frontal battlefield, but the supply line is always a big problem, and it is very disadvantageous to delay it like this.
He only needs to hold this invading army back, and time will be his best weapon to defeat the enemy, which is definitely the most correct decision.
However, at this moment, someone broke into the Holy Council, followed by a group of guards, which made Griff stunned.
"Alfonso and Austin, what are you going to do when you come in? Now is the time for the Holy Council, this is not the place for you to come, you go out immediately, and who gave you guards to break in? What are you going to do here? Find out who you are!"
Griff recognized that it was Alfonso, who had lost power since returning from the Empire, and Austin, the leader of the Knights of Light, who was also there.
"The Holy Council, because of your mistakes in decision-making, the Church has lost control of the north, and now the situation is in chaos, and you, as the agent of the Holy Council, do not think about how to punish the enemy and regain the lost territory, but even think about the defense and retreat, this is an out-and-out betrayal!"
Alfonso accused Griff of all the crimes to his face and directly denounced him as a traitor, which made the latter tremble with anger.
"What do you say? You lost dog who has returned from the defeat of the empire also have the face to say this? You go out for me at once, the Holy Council is not a place for you to come, what about the guards, drive them all out for me, what about the people? Why don't you obey my orders?"
Griff scolded Alfonso for being a secluded man since he returned to the Holy City, and that he had lost his voice in the Holy City and had become a joke.
Not to mention that he is the agent of the Holy Council, even ordinary bishops don't take him seriously, they are simply reservoir dogs.
And at this moment, Alfonso actually broke into this sacred and solemn place and made a lot of nonsense, which made Griff not angry?
"Isn't that where I'm supposed to be? Griff, when I returned to the Holy City from the Imperial Capital, you didn't have such a face, like a pug eager to kiss my boots, and this time I came back from failure, and you completely changed your face, this is really a real villain. ”
"But don't forget, you can be in this position, completely relying on Gregor's power, although I have been suppressed by you everywhere, I am still the number three man in the Holy City, and now Gregor has been defeated, and he has brought more losses than me, plus the complete fall of the north now. ”
"You, Gregory's henchman, also have an unshirkable responsibility, although I was defeated in the Empire, but the Empire is a force that I have single-handedly supported, but you are different, now I have received an edict from the Pope, I will dismiss the Holy Council and re-establish it. ”
"And you will be sent to receive the punishment you deserve because of the defeat in the north, and the Inquisition of Light will decide your fate, in order to quickly calm the current situation, we must grasp the initiative, so marching is the only option, and you must not retreat, so the strategy is...... Attack!"
Alfonso held the edict he had received from the Pope in his hand, denouncing Griff and Gregor for their crimes, and waved his hand to order the guards to arrest them.
"What? Send me to the Inquisition of Light? No, you can't do this, I'm going to meet the Pope, it's not true, you let me go, I'm going to meet the Pope, you are not qualified to arrest me, Lord Gregor he has absolutely not failed, he will definitely come back, you will regret it!"
Griff shouted at the sight of the soldiers gathered around, struggling desperately to escape, but he was too thin.
After a few struggles, the guards dragged him down, and the other Bishops of Light looked at each other, all silent, not knowing what to do.
"Now that we've taken the irrelevant Griff away, we can discuss the next question, and the question we're going to discuss now is, what are you going to do next?
Alfonso walked over to the place where Griff had sat before him and sat down, his gaze scanning over to the remaining Bishops of Light, and the answer was already obvious.
"Everything is at the behest of His Excellency Alfonso, and we do your will. The remaining Bishops of Light immediately took their stand.
In this case, of course, they chose to protect themselves, and it was good to quickly break off relations with Gregor in this land that had been quiet for more than thirty years.
No matter how you look at it, there will be an unprecedented storm, and at the same time, on the highest level of the Tower of Light, in a room that is rarely set foot in.
A man wrapped in a holy white robe slowly walked to the window, he hadn't left this level for years.
He didn't have to eat, he didn't have to drink, he didn't have to excrete, very few people had seen him really be, and on the question of when he left the Tower of Light, some people said it was ten years, some people said it was twenty years, and some even said that it was fifty years, no one had a conclusion, but some were only pious.
Yes, he is the most central figure in the entire Church of Light, and his status is probably second only to the Goddess of Light they believe in.
"Is it starting to rain outside? It's been a long time since I've been out of here?"
"I don't seem to remember clearly, but last time, there was a little ghost named Lin Nandu who broke into this floor. ”
"He seems to have been in his teens at that time, and it was because of him that the night was dispelled, and the light of light bathed the earth. ”
"But now I feel the breath of that imp again in this land, and darkness is about to fall again...... Will the Tower of Darkness open again?"
The Pope of the Church of Light, with supreme authority, slowly looked out the window, his expression was complicated, he could already smell the breath of darkness.
It's not far from the time he leaves this tower!
