In the Pope's study.
The Pope was looking panicked, wearing pajamas and accompanied by several personal guards.
His eyes were fixed on the door.
Suddenly, there was a bang and the door was knocked open!
The guards immediately became vigilant and only lowered their weapons when they saw that the person coming was one of their own.
The Pope stood up and said nervously: "What's going on! What's going on outside!?"
The soldier was shaking all over and slurring his words: "They're coming! They're coming with a strange weapon. We can't stop them at all..."
"They have started setting fires and killing people everywhere. They have just killed you in your dormitory... and are looking for the Holy See!"
The Pope slumped back in his chair.
I slept well today, but the holy city was attacked for no apparent reason.
Not only did they attack, but they also brought down the Temple Mount.
This is a strange thing that no pope has ever experienced.
The other party also used strange weapons...
If I had known better, I shouldn't have brought all the God's Punishment weapons to the battlefield to show off.
Part of it should be left as a city defense force...
Damn it!
The pope slammed the table hard, his forehead covered with cold sweat.
shame! What a shame! !
"Trash! You are all a bunch of trash! I spend so much money to support you, but a bunch of rebels can't stop you!" The Pope roared, "You want them to fight on the Temple Mount! What are they doing for food? ?!”
"Where are the clerk and the justice? Didn't I ask you to find them? Why don't you come to see me!!"
The Pope was emotionally unstable, but the guard beside him was relatively calm: "Holy See, why don't we evacuate this place now? The opponent's origin is unknown. It's better to wait to evacuate the Temple Mount first, and then launch a counterattack later."
"The other party is just a group of gangsters. They came suddenly and we were not prepared. Once the Holy See stabilizes and redeploys, we will definitely be able to wipe out these rebels."
The pope's face twitched a few times, and he turned around and glanced at the bookcase.
Run...he can run.
Although the Temple Mount is the most important location in the Holy City, it has always been in a state of peace.
However, at the beginning of its construction, various extreme situations had been considered, so secret passages had long been left.
This secret passage is known only to a few people at the highest level of the church.
He still felt that there was hope for him to retreat temporarily, plan calmly, and then exterminate the rebels.
After all, this is a holy city. The other party must have come here in a low-key manner and will not have too many manpower.
The most elite Temple Army allocated half of the Fekar battlefield and the other half in the city.
Coupled with other city defense forces, it will definitely be far superior to the opponent.
But just running away like this... If this matter spreads, there will undoubtedly be a great loss of majesty and reputation.
The Pope gritted his teeth.
Just as he was getting entangled, there was a noise not far from the door.
First there was a crackling sound, then a cry, and finally a cry for mercy.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm just a temporary worker! I'm not the same person as the Pope."
"Temporary workers must die too!"
boom!
The Pope trembled all over and his eyes were dull.
Temporary workers were also killed. These people didn't want to leave anyone alive!
"You guys follow me!"
The Pope no longer hesitated and pushed open the bookcase, revealing the deep tunnel inside. He gave an order and walked into it with several guards.
Before leaving, I closed the bookcase again and everything was as it was before.
Not long after he left, the door was kicked open.
Lai Gouer scanned the room, raised his hand and said, "It's not here, continue searching! Leave no one behind!"
In less than half an hour, all the main buildings on the Temple Mount had been searched.
Most of the enemy troops on the mountain have been killed, and many people took advantage of the chaos to escape.
When everyone gathered back to the main church hall, Lai Gouer looked sad.
Xiaoshuai stepped forward and said: "Brother Dog, I have searched everything but can't find the Pope."
"Including some of the top leaders of the church, they all ran away a lot, either because they saw the situation was not good and fled early, or because there was a secret passage here."
Lai Gouer nodded: "The secret passage... Even if there is a secret passage, there is no time to search. There are still some resistance forces fighting in the city, and they must be stopped immediately to maintain the overall situation."
"Send a few more people to the Pope's bedroom. I remember there are his clothes and hats there. Find a corpse and put them on, smash the face, and declare that the Pope is dead."
"Don't worry about anything else now, take the corpse and go immediately to stop the chaos and open the treasury! Tell the people below that everyone can come to the treasury to collect money until all the gold and silver shines. Those soldiers who are willing to surrender voluntarily , let bygones be bygones! You can get double copies!"
"Yes!" Xiaoshuai responded and led the people away.
...
In the dark tunnel, the Pope and others groped forward.
This tunnel leads directly to the back mountain path and outside the Holy City.
No one has used it since the day it was built.
There was a thick layer of dust inside.
The pope's face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with great pain.
Today's revenge must be avenged! Those rebel thieves will all be punished with death!
After walking along the steps for a long time, I finally reached the door.
The door lock at the end of the passage was rusted and mottled.
The guard knocked hard with the handle of his knife, and the door lock snapped.
Opening the door, a breeze blew in.
The Pope was covered in cold sweat and could not help but tremble when the wind blew him.
When he raised his head, his whole person was stunned.
Someone was peering inside.
That man was the chief judge of the Inquisition!
"Why are you here!" the Pope exclaimed.
The justice narrowed his eyes: "Holy See, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The pope emerged from the passage in surprise, but as soon as he showed his head, two swords were placed on his neck.
The blade of the sword felt unusually cold between his neck.
As far as the eye could see, there were dozens of guards with swords surrounding the chief judge.
The pope was stunned, mechanically twisted his neck to look at the justice, and said dullly: "Did you send someone to rebel?"
The justice shrugged: "It's not me, it's the Emperor of Sangak who wants to invite the Holy See to come over and have a chat."
Sangak...Strange Weapon...
The Pope seemed to think of something and murmured to himself: "Is he rebelling?"
The guard who threatened him with a sword smiled slightly and said: "Holy See, please stop making random guesses. The rebels in the city have nothing to do with His Majesty."
"Those of us have always lived in the Holy City. Your Majesty has already ordered you to escort you to see His Majesty immediately if you encounter special circumstances or if the Holy See is in danger. But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Now His Majesty still has Don’t know what’s going on here, but I imagine he would be very happy to see you.”
"The carriage is ready, please get in!"
The Pope's brain has become a mess, and he can't figure out the current situation at all.
what is happening!
But there was one thing he was sure of, the Chief Justice must have betrayed him...
…
