empire, holy city.

In the Emerald Cathedral, high-level officials of the Holy See gathered together. Only candles were lit in the conference room, and the flickering firelight made everyone's faces look gloomy and uncertain.

The church has been having a tough time lately.

Just after recovering from the "Evil God Invasion Incident", problems occurred frequently in dioceses across the mainland.

After the New Year, in just two months, six countries that mainly believed in the goddess of light had coups or uprisings, changes in royal power, burning churches, and even massacres of believers, which had a very bad impact.

The church's response was not slow, and it sent the old captain Richard to lead two thousand elite Knights Templar to the Balganas Kingdom, the third kingdom where riots broke out.

But before they entered the Kingdom of Balgana, they were ambushed by a group of mysterious people. They suffered heavy losses and were forced to turn back.

"Everyone, cough cough... This is by no means as simple as a normal change of kingship. There is a mastermind behind the fall of the Six Kingdoms, cough cough, cough cough."

Captain Richard was sitting at the long table, his face was pale and he kept coughing.

His condition was very poor. His right arm was wrapped in a bandage. The smell of blood in the wound was pungent and there was a faint black air. It was some kind of vicious curse that even the Pope could not cure quickly.

The Pope, the presiding judge, Saint Kate, Saint Archbishop Timo and other high-level officials were also sitting in the conference room, all with solemn expressions.

Gonzalez, who has become a high-level legendary powerhouse, looked at the seriously injured teacher with an angry look on his face, slapped the table and said:

"Balgana, Mangrove Sea, Baoyu Kingdom... In just over two months, the six kingdoms have fallen, and they are still dioceses with strong faith. This is obviously targeting the church. This matter must not be let go!"

“But many people in the Six Nations Alliance publicly claimed that they had been persecuted by the church in the past, and also published a lot of dirty information about the church, saying that the church harbored filth and evil and was a cult...

The public opinion outside the world is not friendly to us now. If we directly send troops from the empire to press the border, it will easily trigger a large-scale war. In the context of a camp war, we will be under great pressure if we do this."

Archbishop Timo said worriedly.

Under normal circumstances, the church does not interfere much with the change of secular kingship.

Even if a coup or uprising occurs in a country, the Holy See headquarters will usually not be involved. At most, people from the diocesan branches will intervene.

"The key is that the Six Nations Alliance is not weak."

The presiding judge of the Inquisition was wearing a black priest's attire, his face was shrouded in shadow, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was a little cold, "Unless we come out in force, we may not be able to get any benefits."

The Six Nations Alliance officially has three demigods, seven high-level legendary powerhouses, more than 20 ordinary legendary powerhouses, and an army of hundreds of thousands of extraordinary beings. Their combined military strength is almost comparable to that of an empire.

You know, Faloran is not that strong if you don't count the Night Girl.

What's more, there are rumors that there is a mysterious true god-level powerhouse behind the Six Nations Alliance.

The old pope stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. With a tired look on his face, he looked at the saint and said:

"Kate, what do you think we should do?"

Arturia looked through the intelligence information sent from the Six Kingdoms Diocese. The expression on that beautiful face became colder and colder, with murderous intent revealed, like an unsheathed divine sword.

She quickly read the information, stood up directly, and said in a cold voice:

"Let me go and let the Knights Templar, Knights of the Holy Grail, and Knights of Holy Light all dispatch, and start cleaning the Kingdom of Baoyu first!"

Her decisive words shocked everyone.

The presiding judge, who had never liked her very much, was surprised that this usually gentle and kind-hearted saint turned out to be strong and iron-blooded at critical moments.

She only used the word "clean", so you can imagine what she was going to do.

Archbishop Timo looked surprised and hesitated, saying:

"Saint, doing this may lead to..."

Arturia raised her hand to interrupt the old bishop's words, with a cold look on her beautiful face, and said:

"I don't care about changes in royal power or resistance to tyranny. I am even happy to see such things happen. Even if the new ruler suppresses the church and rejects the belief in the goddess, I will not interfere too much.

But these people kill even ordinary believers. Even if they are willing to give up their faith, they still want to be executed.

In the Baoyu Kingdom, the white knight Alfonso II killed 130,000 ordinary believers in the royal city in one fell swoop. It was so majestic!

Is the church corrupt? Have they been persecuted by the church?

Maybe, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, but it’s impossible, right? Everyone of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary believers has stepped on the white knight Alfonso?”

When mentioning the brutal killing of hundreds of thousands of ordinary believers, the faces of the old pope, Archbishop Timo, Captain Gang and others all looked ugly.

In the church's more than a thousand years of history, such tragedies have never happened several times.

This is no longer simply about suppressing the church and rejecting faith, but it is about digging up its roots and killing them all.

"But the six countries have united, and it is very difficult to suppress them. Unless we implement decapitation tactics, we will launch a large-scale war." Archbishop Timo said solemnly.

At this juncture, the human camp is engaged in a large-scale civil war. No matter whether the church loses or wins in the end, the dark camp will laugh out loud.

"Kate, you should know what it means if the church chooses to invade the country with an army."

The old pope said seriously.

"certainly."

Arturia's eyes were filled with golden divine flames, and her golden pupils were full of majesty. She said resolutely, "I will never compromise with such an executioner! Compromising will only encourage their arrogance and make them do more bloody and cruel things."

Come!"

The Six Kingdoms Rebellion did not affect the church much at first, but later became more and more excessive.

They drove away believers, smashed idols, killed clergy, burned churches and temples, and later even killed unarmed ordinary believers.

This touches Artoria's bottom line.

"Ahem... I suspect there is collusion between the Six Nations Alliance and the dark camp. There are so many powerful people suddenly appearing, and they may have the support of big figures in the dark camp!"

Old regiment leader Richard was covering his injured arm, his face was pale and his tone was cold.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But we don't have any evidence." said the chief judge of the Inquisition.

"They all said they got the opportunity from ancient mysterious realms, and emphasized that they were resisting tyranny and purging cultists."

"Opportunities obtained from the ancient mysterious realm? Huh, is it so easy to obtain the divine power in the ancient mysterious realm? When did the most dangerous secret realm with the highest death rate become a paradise for careerists?"

"There is no evidence that White Knight Alfonso and others are colluding with the dark camp. Our unilateral suspicion is useless, let alone a reason to send troops."

"Whether there is any reason to send troops or not, I will go and ask His Majesty the Pope for permission!"

Artoria's attitude is very firm. Even if there is no evidence that the six countries are colluding with the dark camp, she will go to the Baoyu Kingdom and kill the white knight Alfonso.

Trapping and killing ordinary believers was beyond the limit of her endurance.

She is a saint in this world, but in the moon world, she is the king of knights.

In order to protect Britain, she had her hands covered with blood. She would never hesitate when raising or lowering the knife with her hands, let alone bow to evil forces.

"Even if you risk a large-scale civil war, do you want to go?"

The pope looked at the saint and said seriously.

"Yes!"

There was no wavering on Artoria's face, and she said coldly and resolutely, "In my eyes, White Knight Alfonso is already a dead man.

I want to see who gave them the courage to do such a thing!"

Captain Gang: "..."

It turns out that the saint is so strong.

Old leader Richard: "..."

I really didn't realize that the saint was so strong at heart.

Archbishop Timo: "..."

This is completely different from the well-behaved, sensible, gentle and kind-hearted Saint Kate in his impression.

But it seems to be a good thing...

After Arturia said those words, Captain Oka, Old Captain Richard, the presiding judge, and Archbishop Timo all looked at the old pope on the throne.

"Forget it, let's take action."

The old pope stood up, holding the scepter in his hand, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up with incandescent fire, and a majestic holy power was released, so powerful that the conference room almost instantly turned into a sea of ​​light!

The divine fire burned, getting stronger and stronger, and almost instantly ignited the old man's entire body.

The old pope's whole body was bathed in divine fire, and his wrinkled face looked extremely majestic. Within his body, a vague polygonal prism crystal solidified instantly, exuding immortal brilliance!

The divine power was so majestic that it radiated outward in an instant, causing the sky and the earth to lose their color, turning into either black or white.

Then, a slightly older voice was heard throughout the Holy City and beyond.

“I, the Eleventh Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Light, Gregory II, am officially anointed today as the patron saint of the Holy See and the god of discipline!

All believers bear witness that I, the goddess of light, am my main god and will never betray you!"

The loud voice almost resounded throughout the world and reached the ears of every resident of the Holy City. For a moment, everyone was shocked and shocked.

In the direction of the palace, Emperor Ugo suddenly raised his head, left all the ministers behind, called a carriage, and rushed to the Emerald Cathedral.

In the conference room, the divine fire on the Pope's body disappeared, and the sea of ​​holy power that filled the void slowly dispersed.

He looked at Saint Kate with some relief and said:
