Just when the results of the battle between Feng Wuxiyao and Carter had just been announced

Muriles, the emperor of the Empire of Light above hundreds of millions of people, was leaning on the throne in the palace study with his eyebrows lowered.

Each Tianjiao Battle is a month-long holiday for the courtiers of the major empires

Because during this period, the emperors would temporarily suspend their daily routine court meetings.

It stands to reason that this kind of holiday should have been a relaxing breath for the courtiers!

However, this holiday gave Murilles a long breather!

As the emperor of the current empire, he can definitely be called the most trusted person of the current pope!

But now, Murriles feels that he has become the person most hated by the Pope, or the most hated person by the Pseudo-Emperor!

――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, as early as half a year ago, Murriles discovered the Pope's anomaly!

Because the Pope actually found all kinds of excuses to avoid himself, even if he needed to inform himself of something, he began to send envoys under his command to contact, which inevitably made Murilles feel extremely confused!

Later, he received a report from two important ministers whom he had secretly supported, that the Pope had secretly sent his men to contact them and make them swear allegiance to him!!

At that time, Murilles was shocked, he was very confused!

Because if the Pope really had an opinion about him, he could easily remove him! In such an empire where divine power is greater than imperial power, even if he is not convinced, it is difficult to make any big waves.

But why did he go to such trouble to send someone to secretly contact his courtiers?

Murriles was strange, but he didn't think about rebelling at all, he just watched the national chariot slowly get out of his control!

But it wasn't until more than two months ago that he received the rumor from the city of Byrne in the Bligh Empire, and contacted the previous generation of saint Karrelona's sudden sacrifice!

Immediately made Murilles react, maybe the real problem is the current pope!

And this may be the main reason why the Pope secretly buys his subordinates, but does not directly remove him!

Because this puppet emperor couldn't conclude the unique Bright Seal belonging to Salalco at all, he couldn't forge the revocation document with the effect of the church's rules!

To be able to become an imperial emperor certainly depends on more than just the nepotism of the pope

Muriles, who suddenly thought clearly, naturally couldn't sit back and wait for death as before!

Investigate the true cause of Karerona's death and investigate what happened to Bourne City in the Bligh Empire

One after another, extremely secret orders were sent out by Murilles!

After all, as an emperor who has controlled the empire for more than 30 years, he also has subordinates who are loyal to him!

But Muriles is very careful in everything he does!

Because he was also afraid that once he showed a trace of horse's feet, he would immediately attract the desperate attack of the puppet emperor!

Although the puppet emperor did not do this at the moment, perhaps he was just worried that Murilles would fight hard, which would lead to chaos in the Empire of Light, and then let other empires benefit. And not that there is a fear that Mouriles has the ability to reverse the fate of defeat!

After all, in such an empire where divine power is higher than imperial power, as long as the scepter of God is in hand, there will be countless believers blindly following it!

This is the greatest sorrow of the Empire of Light!

The utter blindness of faith!

――――――――――――――――――――

Leaning on the wide throne, Murilles felt like he was trapped in a huge game, and the slightest mistake would be gone!

And there is no one in this bureau who can help him solve it except himself

"Your Majesty," a figure slowly emerged from behind Murilles, and then said softly in a slightly resentful tone, "At this moment, most of the courtiers have already gone to the Caesar Empire, or Your Majesty will take this opportunity to gather his subordinates and escape from the Empire of Light together!

"No, !!", after hearing the words of the figure behind him, Salalco vetoed without the slightest hesitation, "Salalko entrusts the entire empire to me, how can I give up easily! More importantly, your family members are already rooted in the imperial capital! If I flee with you, not only will the puppet emperor have an excuse to hunt us down, but he will also use your family members to vent his anger!"

After hearing Muriles' unhesitating refusal, this figure suddenly said urgently: "Your Majesty! If you don't leave again, after the puppet emperor has eroded all our forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave again! It's acceptable for my family to lose me, but once something happens to you, Your Majesty, then it will be difficult for us to rest in peace under the Nine Springs!!

"All right, Jace!", shouted Murriles as he stood up again without hesitation, "You don't need to say any more! If I fled at the cost of your family's lives, then I Murriles might as well kill myself right now!"

Slowly looking back at Jace behind him, Murriles comforted: "Although we are very passive at the moment, it is not necessarily certain to die, wait for it!

"Hateful!", Jace said with some annoyance as he listened to Murriles' comforting tone, "Why are those cardinals on the Holy Mountain who only know the devotion of faith so stupid that none of them even noticed that there was a problem with the Pope around them! And where did the Holy Knight Gerov go, even the last generation of saints sacrificed such a big thing could not see his figure!"

"Hehe" Hearing Jace's annoyed words, Murriles couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Don't say those cardinals who only know their feelings all day long! Even these self-proclaimed civil servants and military generals in the empire can see the strangeness of the empire? And when it comes to Gerov's time when the Qingyang Empire was in civil strife, we were still laughing at the Qingyang Empire's protector god Mengxitian, and we couldn't even see a human figure when the empire was in civil strife! I didn't expect retribution to come so quickly. Our empire is on the verge of collapse, but Jerov is nowhere to be found!"

Murilles' exclamation suddenly made the atmosphere between the two of them a little heavy

......

After a long while, after Murriles had reluctantly sat back on the throne again, Jace said with a little confusion as if he remembered something: "Your Majesty! Have you noticed that Count Vakasa and several courtiers of the Holy Maiden family have looked at you with strange expressions in recent days?"

"Well," Murriles said with a slight nod, "I do feel this way, maybe a few of them have also discovered the Pope's strangeness!"

"I think so too!" Jace replied in the affirmative, and then asked, "You see if we need to contact them secretly, after all, they belong to the Holy Maiden's lineage, and even on the Holy Mountain, they have a lot of power, I don't think even the Puppet Emperor would dare to blatantly do anything with them!"

Jace's inquiry immediately silenced Murriles for a while, and then shook his head and replied, "Don't contact them, the power of the puppet emperor is too huge, and one careless will put us in a situation from which we will never recover! So far, we can't trust any other forces, we can only trust our own people!"
