1346 The Reversal of the Heart (2)

Hobert's wolf bèi caused everyone in the room to be nervous, everyone didn't know what was going on, "what the hell is going on" someone asked nervously in the dark, Hobert's bellows-like voice was intermittent, as if he was being squeezed by something, neither admitting nor denying, just trying to say "outside...... Outside...... Imperial Army ......"Imperial Army...... The two words "outside......" are like an electric current of 10,000 volts, touching everyone's nerves.

"Boom" Before Hobert could finish his words, he was stunned to see that the room was in chaos, like ants that had been blown up in their nests, and the people sitting in their seats began to stir, "What to do! We are surrounded!" someone screamed in horror

"Hobert, you traitor, did you bring the Imperial Army here!" someone began to curse,

"I ...... There is no ......" Hobart looked aggrieved, he wanted to try to make his words clear, but who cares about him,

At this moment, everyone's hearts were like being pinched by countless giant hands, an invisible sense of oppression, making everyone feel that the outside of the door was too calm, calm like a brutal imperial soldier, who would break into the door at any time with a wooden smash, holding a bright sword to chop everyone here into pieces, peeling and cramping!

It was a sign before the storm, and almost for a moment, the fear in the heart made the hairs stand on end,

"Hell, I should have thought of that a long time ago,"

Suddenly, a fat figure stood up, he was the highest-ranking presiding priest of the Ashton branch among the temple priests seated, Kaith, his status in the temple was second only to the high priest of the Presbyterian Church, he was the backbone of the Southern faction in the temple, and the main planner of the Holy Maiden plan, according to the plan, as long as the new holy woman ascended the throne, and the high priest Parschena happened to be stabbed. The Holy Maiden can rightfully become the new High Priest, and the Southern faction can take advantage of this opportunity to regain control of the Holy Church.

Just like the predecessors who once dominated the Holy Religion hundreds of years ago, they used the divine power and the human heart to reach an equal agreement with the secular royal power, so that the glory of the divine power will continue.

But now, his fat body jumped up as quickly as if he had pressed a spring, and his hands hurriedly pressed the priest's hat over his bald head. "I'm sorry, but I must go back to the temple right away!" It's too dangerous here, I have a hunch, the Imperial Army has lifted the blockade just to lure us out and catch us all" "I should have thought of it a long time ago" This mantra with a strong southern accent sounded full of funny and ridiculous feelings, even more than my colleagues mocked as "Kathy who should have thought of it a long time ago", but now people who heard it had a different feeling,

Seeing that he was leaving, the priest Archibald, who was equal to him, also stood up. He glanced at the other middle-level priests with complicated eyes, and said in a condensed voice, "I agree with the opinion of the superior priest of Cathy, this is a trap of the imperial army, and everyone will leave immediately." Or maybe there's a glimmer of hope, good luck to you!"

Priest Archibald tried to suppress his voice, trying to look calm, but his trembling hands betrayed him. Nervous, he even put his hat upside down, revealing the white fleece on the inside of the priest's robe, after realizing that something was wrong. It took several fiddling to finally put the hat on his head, and if it was ordinary, the Archibald priest gave the impression of a kind of composure, but now, like a mouse targeted by a cat, jumped out of the back window with unimaginable decisiveness,

Completely forgetful that just a few minutes ago, he was holding his glass high and loudly praising the arrival of the new era of theocracy, "Bang, ah!" The sound of a heavy weight falling to the ground was the sound of Archibald priest knocking over something,

He himself and the collider, almost together outside the window, let out a dull cry of pain, sounding full of comical joy,

"What is this!" Seeing the two high-ranking priests who presided over the matter, jumping out of the window in a panic, the other middle-level priests who had no way to escape were suddenly dumbfounded,

They were all summoned by these two high priests, this place is very close to the residence of these two high priests, they only need to climb over the vine wall behind them, even if the imperial army is looking for it, the two high priests believe that there is enough reason to clean it up,

But what about the people themselves, so many middle priests secretly gathered here, it is difficult to explain,

"It's over, it's dead this time!" the minds of some of the mid-level priests who attended the meeting had already begun to flash through the horrific scenes of the Empire's past cases of this matter, arrested, executed, and the entire family would be wiped out of the land,

The bloody human head hung on the wooden frame in the square for public display, and the corpse hung on the wooden frame, and when the wind blew, it creaked and swayed miserably, turning into a black terrible hole with no eyeballs in its eye sockets, and the black crows pecked at their own flesh one by one, until they became dried corpses, or the horrible white bones of the forest, from children to old people, no one was spared, although it was mostly hearsay, everyone was convinced that the empire must have done this, just as they showed ruthlessness in the slaughter of 30,000 punks in the Black Forest,

"I don't want to die!" In the chaos, some people were lying on the table with headaches and crying, and some of their faces were like ashes, and their whole bodies were slumped on the chairs, as if they had lost their souls, "Bastards, we were all deceived!" If it weren't for the tempting promises made by these two guys that were enough to move people's hearts, who would be willingly involved in this turmoil, is the tiger ass of the Vekia Falcon so easy to touch, this can be known by looking at the history of the empire, the war knife of the empire has never been merciful to the rebels,

Although they are not a rebellion, what they are planning now is no different from a rebellion, if everyone is still a little excited and ambitious, raising their glasses to celebrate that they have made the right bet, they only need to wait quietly, they can enjoy the benefits of theocracy,

And now, they feel like chess pieces thrown at them, fish pressed on the chopping board, poured down over and over again by the freezing water,

Dead and alive, from the door of the brain all the way to the tail vertebrae in the back, every piece is moaning in pain,

Who has the leisure to care about the new era of theocracy,

"Snap" A sword light fell heavily in the secret room, and the blonde female horse Munuk knight pulled out her knight's sword and cut off a corner of the long table with a sword.

The cold light and sharpness of the long sword temporarily stopped the panic of the priests,

Knight Mamunuk's eyes flickered, and she said in a cold voice, "The situation hasn't been clarified yet, what are you messing with!Hobert, what the hell is going on?"

It was only at this moment that everyone remembered the forgotten Hobert,

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause such a big panic" Hobert looked at the scene in front of him a little sluggishly, realizing that he had caused a big disaster, and shuddered helplessly, before he said apologetically, "It's just that I didn't have a chance to speak just now, in fact, what I want to say is very simple, that is, the Imperial Army is not here, and there is nothing outside" Hobert's voice stopped, and he saw that most of the priests were looking at him angrily,

In this gaze, he felt like a sinner, which made his apology fly away immediately, and he cursed in his heart, I am not the one who lied to you!

"What was the big thing you just said?"

At the critical moment, the female horse Munouk asked coldly, and Hobert came back to his senses, with the luster of memories in his eyes, and said gloomily

"I went to the city of St. Nicholas at the bottom of the hill to investigate the movements of the Imperial army, but I did not find any scenes of the Imperial army gathering, but there were cheering crowds everywhere,

I saw a proclamation from the Empire this morning, which said that after consultation with the Templars, the Holy Maiden would henceforth be elected from among the commoners, and that the Vicchian Falcon would also attend the ceremony, and that the new Maiden would be blessed in person!"

Although they had just escaped the danger of their lives, under the impact of this news, the priests' mouths were still large enough to swallow a toad.

For them, this news was like a heavy hammer, and they were directly stunned, "How is this possible!" A priest muttered in a trance, "Choose a saint from the poor commoners, can a saint still be a saint!"

"But there is no explicit rule that saints cannot be chosen from among the commoners!" said another priest with a dejected expression, priests are not fools, they are even more proficient in playing word games, otherwise how can they win the trust of the believers?

"What's the reaction of the civilians?" said the knight Mamunuk, still holding on to a hint of luck

"Thunder of joy!" Hobart shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I saw the statue of the Prophet on the bulletin board in the city square,

The one sent by the Imperial Army, to tell you the truth, the most approachable and touching prophet I've ever seen.

Even I think that is what the Prophet is, and the Prophet's initial decision should have been to choose a saint from among the commoners!" "Bastard, how could they do this!"

The knight of the female horse Munouk opened her eyes and slammed her fist on the table, compared to the previous sentence, she cared more about the back,

What does it mean to give a blessing to the saints personally? According to convention, only the divine right has the right to approve the secular royal power.

When did the divine right need the blessing of worldly power,

This is a blatant falsification, a transgression of secular royal power to divine power,

This simple reversal is almost equivalent to directly telling everyone that the royal power of the empire is above the divine power!

She suddenly realized that she had made the strictest mistake, and she didn't even know who her opponent was, so she was too optimistic that she had won the battle.

What she felt was a kind of grief and frustration, all her efforts were in vain at this moment, she had imagined how the empire would react to this holy ceremony, and even had made various plans to deal with it, but she didn't expect it,

The invincible commander of the Vekia Falcon who is undefeated across the battlefield will directly overthrow everything so shamelessly, and completely let himself have no chance of turning the tables! )
