Chapter 1558 Take advantage of the glorious Holy See’s illness and kill them!
(The strong sea monster leader adds 7 updates)
The Pope leaned on the soft couch with his eyes closed, his face pale. Half of it was tired, and the other half was nervous and embarrassed.
Although a person may not be able to live or die under a magical spell, flesh and bones are not a problem at all. Especially for a great magical spell such as the Holy Glory Illumination, the light shines everywhere, and as long as there is still one breath left, one can be pulled up.
If the effect of magical treatment is not good, and the treatment is getting worse, then it must be that the person being treated is not good, or has fallen, or is contaminated...
However, if one or two people cannot be cured, it can be blamed on the person being treated; if 10,000 or 20,000 people cannot be cured, they are simply cured to death. Could it be said that there has been widespread corruption or pollution?
Not to mention, among the dead were the leaders of the Holy Knights, many ascetics known for their piety, as well as many bishops and low-level monks who had direct contact with believers and comforted them.
If we say that all these people have been corrupted, or that there has been widespread corruption and pollution in the Glory Holy City, where is the majesty of the Holy City? Where is the legitimacy of the Holy See?
At that time, not to mention those people in the Eastern Empire who have been clamoring about "justification by faith" and "everyone can go directly to the kingdom of God of our Lord", will all look sideways at the Holy See.
Even the dioceses in various places, the powerful archbishops, and the legends wandering around, will inevitably have their thoughts... those legends...
The Pope closed his eyes silently. Those legends are the indestructible cornerstone of the Holy See and the help of the Holy See to the outside world;
But internally, they are also supporters of various factions. When there is a crisis in the Holy See, such as when the predecessor suddenly dies and the inheritance is uncertain, several legends will use their strength in different directions to tear the Holy See into pieces at any time...
"Pass my message to Your Excellency [Pale Sword], Your Excellency [Ice Guardian], Your Excellency [Unsullied Walker]..."
He called the names of five or six legends in one breath, paused, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the young bishop standing in front of him, who stopped writing and looked over, before continuing:
"Please ask them to return to the Glory Holy City immediately, the sooner the better. Just say that the Holy City is in catastrophe and needs their strength."
Among these legends, the Pale Sword was the former leader of the Holy Knights. Because he disagreed with the then pope on the issue of intervening in the succession of the throne of the Kingdom of Kent across the strait, he resigned in anger and traveled around.
This paladin has a noble temperament and hates evil. He has a light wooden sword in his hand, which can kill all evil, regardless of dark creatures, nobles, or bishops. As long as he is seen doing bad things and deserves death, he will cut them off with one sword.
.
Everyone in the Glory Holy City had a headache when they saw him before, and everyone was thankful to God, hoping that he would go out for a trip and never come back again.
But now, the leader of the Holy Knights has fallen, and the essence of the Knights in the Holy City has been completely wiped out. The Pope has no choice but to invite him back to use his majesty to control the situation.
There is also [Ice Guardian] Your Excellency, who was born in the Kingdom of Lain and has long been dedicated to guarding the border and protecting the people from the plundering of the barbarians in the wilderness.
Because the Holy See suppressed the Kingdom of Lai Yin, especially several border electors, there was a bit of discord with the Holy See. It wasn't like they would start a fight, they just looked down on each other.
But now that things have reached this point, the Pope can only ask him to come back and use his reputation and popularity to make the Kingdom of Lai Yin quieter.
This is also a matter of both prosperity and loss. Although there are daily conflicts with the Holy See headquarters, if the Holy See encounters a catastrophe, they should not stand by and watch...
After mentioning the three legends who were in other places and the three legends who traveled to other worlds to explore and practice, the Pope closed his eyes again and thought about it carefully.
In this way, the power of the Glory Holy City should be enough, but the power outside will be reduced. Expansion cannot be done for the time being. It has to shrink and guard against enemies... In addition to enemies, there are also heretics...
"What? Tiber City was punished by God?"
The Patriarch of the Norman Kingdom held his scepter tightly and walked over quickly, his purple robe fluttering with his footsteps. As he walked, the corners of his mouth were already raised:
Should!
Those heretics should have been punished by God long ago!
They shout "Glory Holy City" and "Glory Holy City" all day long, as if they are the orthodox ones, who doesn't know who they are!
During the Great Empire, five dioceses were established in front of the Great Emperor, and the five patriarchs were parallel. Their position as the Norman Patriarch was clearly ahead of the Tiber Patriarch!
Of course, the Levant Patriarch is at the top of the list. It was the place where the first high priest came when the Glorious Religion was established. It has unique religious significance, so it has the highest ceremonial ranking;
However, the Archdiocese of Levant and the Archdiocese of Antioch fell into the territory of the Kingdom of Orcs, and the Ptolemaic Archdiocese was buried in the wind and sand. The remaining Norman Patriarch, even if he is not higher than the Tiber Patriarch,
At least they are on equal footing!
"Heresy", "excommunication" and "excommunication" are being carried out all day long. Who is afraid of whom? Are you able to destroy the Norman Kingdom, or is it that our magic has failed and we cannot call upon the power of the Lord of Glory?
Already?
Those arrogant, extravagant and lewd guys who hang out with nuns or young monks all day long, bah!
"Let's all discuss how we should respond to the group of heretics in Tiber City who were punished by God." The Patriarch entered the conference hall in high spirits and sat down:
"Although everyone knows that we, the Orthodox, are the orthodox servants of our lord, for a long time, we have been unable to eliminate the heresy in Tiber City, and we have not even been able to advance the territory a hundred miles westward.
Now, Tiber City has been punished by God, which is a good opportunity for us. Let's discuss how to take this opportunity to show the majesty of our Lord and expand the influence of our orthodox religion!"
In the hall, a group of red-robed priests looked at each other. For a long time, the closest senior priest to the left of the Patriarch whispered:
"This...if we need to send troops, should we discuss it with His Majesty the King..."
His words seemed to turn on an invisible switch. In an instant, everyone was rushing to speak. The frequency was so high that it almost drowned out the Patriarch's voice:
"Yes, the vast majority of the kingdom's army is still in the hands of His Majesty the King... Although we are armed, we can't push through alone..."
"Also, half of us are bordering the Kingdom of Laiyin, and the other half is bordering the Black Forest... If we send troops rashly, we must consider the attitude of the vampires and whether we should communicate with them first..."
"There is also the Orc Kingdom! There was a disaster a few years ago, and the orcs just came over to grab some of them, and it was easy to fight them back! We move our troops to the west, what will happen to the Orc Kingdom?"
"I think... it is more important to restore the Levant Archdiocese...
Under the guise of restoring the Holy Land, we can also deceive some people from the west. Whether it is the Kingdom of Lain or the Kingdom of Brolin, reinforcements will come from time to time... If we turn around and attack Tiber City, there will be no reinforcements.
…”
There were all voices speaking out, and they were all voices of opposition. The face of the purple-clothed patriarch gradually became gloomy, but it was difficult to refute. Finally, he sighed longly:
"I understand! - I will not consider sending troops for the time being, but other means cannot be left behind! Let's discuss how to weaken Tiber City and how to emphasize our legitimacy!"
As long as there is no war, you can do anything. As soon as the Patriarch's words came out, the discussion atmosphere in the entire conference hall suddenly became heated:
"Preach heretics in the Kingdom and be punished by God! Let the believers in the Kingdom know that as long as they are heretics, they will definitely be punished by God. We are the shepherds appointed by God and the earthly walkers under the Lord's care!"
"The spies over in Tiber City... can get rid of a group of them! Tell them the situation and let them convert! Let them admit that they are heretics! If you still refuse to convert with this kind of ironclad evidence, just go to the police
The rack is ready!"
"Send a caravan over to publicize the divine punishment of Tiber City! It may be difficult to attack near Tiber City, so go further! Go to the border elector! Go to the Kingdom of Brolin! Go to Capet
Go to the Kingdom and the Netherlands!”
"The Orc Kingdom... forget about the Orc Kingdom, but in the wilderness, you can let the caravan spread the word..."
On the one hand, the Norman Patriarchate is rejoicing, on the other hand, it is also somewhat alarmed. The two Patriarchates have always regarded each other as heretics, but on the other hand, they have always had a tacit understanding and help each other:
In history, several times when barbarians and vampires launched large-scale attacks, or when the princes within the territory attacked the Holy City and were about to overthrow the Glorious Holy City, masters from the Norman Archdiocese came to help;
And when the Orc Kingdom's offensive seems overwhelming, legendary masters from the Glory Holy City, and even troops from the Kingdom of Brolin and the Kingdom of Lain will come to help.
During the period when the Kingdom of Kent was under the rule of the Glorious Holy See, a certain king of the Kingdom of Kent even led an army to them and tried to regain the Holy Land, but unfortunately he was captured...
Be careful!
At this moment, you must be especially careful!
"In the legend of traveling to another dimension, please come back! Suppress the situation and prevent any changes in the orc kingdom!"
The Patriarch of the Norman Kingdom received news relatively quickly, but the Protestants in the Netherlands, Capetian Kingdom, and remote areas of the Kingdom of Lain did not receive the news so quickly.
——However, the shock of a piece of news does not diminish its power just because it spreads too slowly.
As the news spread, countless people beat their chests, cheered, and cried.
In a remote village in the Netherlands, Jean Madeleine immediately rushed out of the small church where he preached, rushed to the grave of Bishop Miria, and cried bitterly:
"My Lord Bishop! My Lord Bishop! Have you seen it! Have you seen it! It is they who are blaspheming! It is they who are blaspheming!
——It’s not you who should be deprived of your religious membership, it’s not you who should be burned at the stake, it’s them, it’s them who have been punished by God!
