The entire meeting was shocked by Anthony's words. After a long silence, Diluni said weakly: "How can we vote on matters within your Bright Church? The resolutions formed are not binding."
Anthony smiled slightly: "So it is not a removal, but a veto, denying his status as pope. All contacts with the Church of Light will be transferred to me."
Guliani's face darkened, and he realized that Anthony had come prepared.
The composition of a power is nothing more than a few aspects, internally it is personnel and finance, externally it is diplomacy, trade and war. If these are taken away by others, then no matter how resounding his name is, it will be nothing more than an empty shell.
Antony used the method of schism to seize the personnel and finance of the eastern diocese, and now he actually wants to seize his diplomatic power?
As long as he does not die, the pope will not be re-elected. However, if his diplomatic power is deprived of power, then his role as pope will be equal to being empty and in name only.
Moreover, Anthony's plan is very likely to succeed, and other members will be difficult to snatch away. If Anthony himself is not the archbishop of the Eastern Diocese, the independence of the East will be impossible.
In fact, even if Anthony is the archbishop, it is unbelievable that the kings and dukes' families support Anthony without any hesitation, as if they were on drugs. It is simply unreasonable.
Because this is a matter with very high risks and very small returns. If Anthony succeeds, their territorial gains will not become larger, but if Anthony fails, they will face liquidation by the Holy See and may have their homes confiscated and exterminated.
.
Risking the confiscation of your family and annihilation of your family to support Anthony, for what purpose?
Even if there are three or five fools, it's impossible for the entire eastern diocese to be stupid, right? What kind of benefits Anthony allocates to them can prompt the entire east to make the same choice?
But now, it is easier to snatch away his diplomatic power than to make the eastern diocese independent, because there is no need to do anything. As long as these people at the meeting recognize Anthony's control of the church, and they will only contact him in the future, then the diplomatic power
It just transferred naturally.
If others don't recognize you and turn to Anthony for anything, then what diplomacy can the Holy Court have?
Based on his understanding of Anthony, if he was not sure, Anthony would not be able to launch it casually. Could he have connected with other people?
No, this resolution cannot be allowed to stand, and this vote cannot be allowed to go out of control. Guliani said sternly: "This is an internal matter of the Church of Light. Please do not interfere."
Tongchui said disapprovingly: "Internal affairs have already been brought here, so what else do you call internal affairs? If you had the ability, you would have solved it internally."
Guliani's throat felt sweet and he wanted to strangle this copper hammer to death. This sentence was too poisonous. It was equivalent to pointing directly at Guliani's nose and scolding him for his incompetence.
Why? Why does the honest dwarf speak so viciously? Why does the thick-browed man with big eyes want to imitate Anthony?
If Anthony could hear his inner monologue, he would definitely wave his hand: No, I didn’t teach him.
Some words are more lethal when told by a simple and honest character with thick eyebrows and big eyes. For example, right now, Tong Hammer shattered the argument of 'internal affairs' with just one sentence.
Guliani's eyes turned sharply and he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry for bringing internal affairs here and consuming everyone's public resources, but this is a matter of the church after all. Please allow us to discuss it internally first..."
"Okay, okay, I'll block all other people's votes, leaving only three of you. You vote first, whether you want to bring this matter here to decide, let's start now." Diluni said impatiently.
.
Guliani couldn't help but frowned: That's not what I meant...
What the hell? What he meant was ‘should not vote’, so how did it become that they ‘voted first internally’?
No, something's wrong. We had a good chat with Di Luni just now. Why did you resort to such a small trick? Was it unintentional?
The act of "voting" is essentially an interference in the internal affairs of the church. It should not be allowed to happen at all. As long as it happens, it is interference.
Guliani took a deep breath. When things got to this point, whether Diluni did it intentionally or not, he had to speak out.
But thinking about it in retrospect, this might also be a good thing. The internal voting took place first. He, Dyson, and Anthony already had two of the three votes, so they could put this matter under the category of 'internal affairs'.
Seeing the flashing light on the teleportation array, Guliani pressed the veto button in frustration.
Regardless of the outcome, pressing down his hand set a precedent for the church and provided a precedent for others to interfere in the internal affairs of the church.
Diluni's voice rang out: "Okay, the results are out, one vote against, two votes in favor, the 'resolution to take this matter to the meeting for resolution' was officially passed, okay, then we will now start to decide whether to veto Gulian
As Pope, he recognized Antony instead..."
Guliani couldn't listen to the rest of the words. Only two words flashed in his head: two votes in favor, the resolution passed...
Why are there two votes in favor? One vote is Anthony's, and whose vote is the other?
Dyson!!!!
Guliani breathed out holy flames and turned him into a burning man.
The God of Light frowned and looked over in confusion.
The God of Shadows even emerged from the shadows, leaned into the God of Light and whispered in his ear: "Very powerful, damn guy, he has been hiding his strength."
The God of Light nodded and said: "Human beings are very powerful, truth-level ones, and their strength is no less than ours."
"Then why do so many people still believe in us?" Dark Side asked in confusion.
"Faith is the hope of the weak." Guangmian said.
"Then why does he still light the divine fire? He already has power that is not inferior to ours." The God of Shadows asked puzzledly.
Guliani has long had the body of a demigod and can help Dyson ignite the divine fire, but he has never become a god himself. He has long had the strength to become a god, and it was not until two days ago that he inexplicably ignited the divine fire. Since he is already so powerful
Now, why do you still want to become a god?
Guangmian said: "Life, human life is too short."
The dark side's mouth opened wide, speechless. The reason for the light side was simple and reasonable. It was not a god. In the human lifespan of more than a hundred years, it might not be able to see the strong power it had before even after sleeping.
or.
However, from this aspect, it also illustrates the horror of human beings. With a life span of only more than a hundred years, truth masters continue to emerge. If they were given a life span of tens of thousands of years, how terrible they would be.
"So we classify undead creatures and witches as heretics. Undead creatures have eternal life and witches believe in themselves. They are the biggest threats to the light." Light Side said.
"There are demons, where are the demons?" There are demons in the heresy, has the light side forgotten?
"Just to make up the numbers."
"..."
The boundless anger did not go to Guliani's mind after all. As the holy flame began to burn, he slowly calmed down. Looking at the teleportation array that began to flicker, he pressed the reject button.
The results came out. Diluni said: "Okay, the results came out. Six votes were in favor and one vote was against. The resolution was passed. From now on, all contacts with the Church of Light will be transferred to Anthony's side."
This result shocked everyone. First there were two votes in favor, and then six votes in favor. No one could tell now that it was clearly Dyson who also voted in favor.
Oh my God, aren't Dyson and Anthony mortal enemies? He has assassinated Anthony twice, and Anthony has also assassinated him. How did they become a team?
Guliani's stern voice sounded in the teleportation array: "Dyson, why did you betray me?!"
Not to mention betraying the light, but directly betraying ‘me’, which is a bit of a betrayal.
Dyson's voice sounded weakly: "Your majesty, you are indeed not as good as Mr. Anthony. Nicholas has done this to the Western Parish, but you have been conniving at it. Even after I came back and spent so much effort, I still can't get it right. Famine
So many people are starving to death, but Your Majesty, you do nothing. These are God’s people.”
"I can see Lord Anthony's dedicated efforts in saving people and providing disaster relief. He is much more capable than you. Your Majesty, don't be obsessed with power. Let it go. We, the Western Diocese, firmly support Lord Anthony."
Guliani finally lost control and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
All the blame was placed on Guliani's head, and he was justified and justified.
It was Guliani's connivance that made the Western Diocese such a mess, not to mention that after he came back, he only focused on scraping the land and did nothing else.
But it makes sense to outsiders. Dyson has only been back for more than half a year. The famine could not have happened in half a year. The biggest responsibility must be Nikolai's.
Nicholas is dead and cannot argue or take responsibility for himself. The biggest responsibility lies with Guliani, who made an oversight.
After being negligent and failing to do anything, he watched the famine spread and a lot of people starved to death. In the end, Anthony had to lend a helping hand, otherwise more people would have died.
This was based on the fact that there was also a famine in the eastern parishes. Anthony not only dealt with the famine in the east, but also aided the west. In comparison, the church was simply transparent.
You pay so many tithes every year, but you become transparent when something goes wrong?
Diluni was lost in thought, Gallaudet frowned, the copper hammer blew his beard, and Brusque picked up the scales.
If at first they were just helping relatives but not Li, and supported Anthony because of Ange, then now, they suddenly discovered that Li seemed to be on Anthony's side as well.
Helping relatives and helping managers, this is what everyone expects.
If he was accusing someone else, Guliani had ten thousand ways to refute, but the person who was accusing him should have been his, which made him lose all the basis for refutation. Even the phrase "addicted to authority" made all his arguments disappear.
All blocked.
If you don't accept the result, you are "addicted to power", killing people, and even killing your heart.
"Bear the wrath of the gods." Guliani finally said this and cut off the teleportation array.
Anthony hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, cut off the teleportation array, and immediately contacted Dyson's teleportation array. Dyson's voice came over, and he no longer showed the calmness during the meeting, but said anxiously: "Sir Anthony,
To be continued...
