Chapter 622: Sophilia's Counterattack

Lennon City.

If it is placed in other regions, it should be regarded as a prosperous medium-sized city.

But if it is placed in the core area of ​​the Asia Minor Plain, near the capital of Valesta, it can only become the backdrop of this bright pearl, an insignificant satellite city.

Therefore, it is also called the west gate of Valesta.

Once you cross it from the west, it means that you have officially entered the boundary of the royal capital, not far from Valesta.

This spring, this little-known city became extraordinarily lively because a group of people stayed here.

This pedestrian is none other than His Majesty St. George, the new Pope of the Holy See of St. Ether who has just embarked on a missionary tour throughout the alliance.

A series of five large-scale sermons attended by St. George had already transformed most of the citizens of this medium-sized city with a foundation of faith into believers of the Holy See and loyal supporters of His Majesty St. George.

For His Majesty St. George, who has ambitious goals, it is obviously too extravagant to do so.

According to the evangelistic plan that his devout believers helped him formulate, only one or two large-scale evangelistic meetings would be enough for a city of this size, not three at most.

Only Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, is worthy of His Majesty St. George's investment of so much energy.

It was not His Majesty St. George's initiative to invest so much energy in Lennon City, but he was forced to stay here.

The one who can influence his formation is naturally the ruling class of the Byron Alliance, represented by the regent princess Sophilia.

In order to prevent him from preaching in the core circle ruled by the Lancelot royal family, Princess Regent Sophilia did not hesitate to mobilize her Knights of the Iron Rose, posing as if she did not hesitate to kill her.

If St. George dared to lead her missionary team close to the capital Valesta, she would lead people to attack brazenly.

No one dared to question whether the Princess Regent had the guts, including St. George.

The Princess Regent's behavior in recent years has been a bit moderate, making people forget her former nickname, Iron Princess, intentionally or unintentionally.

Not long after he took power, in order to revitalize the royal family and establish his own name, he did not hesitate to challenge the Holy See of Saint Ether. If it were not for the long-term and comprehensive consideration of Pope Delt at that time, the battle between kingship and theocracy would have happened as early as It exploded twenty years ago.

Before Pope St. George took office, he sneered at Pope Delt's gentle behavior.

He believed that it was his style that fueled Princess Sophilia's arrogance and allowed her to push herself forward. Over the years, she has continuously eroded the interests of the Holy See, using the Holy See as a stepping stone to elevate herself even higher.

If the Holy See launches a full-scale counterattack before the Princess Regent has grown up, the entire Valesta will be reduced to their core parish. If it can count millions of devout believers, the influence of the Holy See of Saint Ether will not only increase by one double?

Therefore, at the moment when he took over the scepter of the oracle, Pope St. George secretly decided in his heart that he would never repeat the old pattern of Pope Delt and never compromise easily.

But when things really came to an end, he realized that things were far from being as simple as he thought.

The timing of Princess Regent Sophilia's launch was deadly.

Less than three months before and after Pope St. George's accession to the throne, the road of preaching tour has just started.

Even if they hold the two unprecedented trump cards, the Messenger of the True God and the Holy Power, but most of the Holy See believers have never even heard of his name, the information still stays at the stage where the Pope is Delt, what is the use?

Once there is a full-scale war with the royal family, it may be difficult for the Holy See to reap benefits. After all, the Holy See has fatal flaws in its administrative system.

They rely on appeal, but it is unknown how many believers will respond to them.

The royal family has the ability to enforce, and its efficiency is far higher than that of the Holy See.

What's more, Princess Regent Sophie Liya did not come on behalf of herself.

The actions of the Holy See of Saint Ether this time were too big, and everyone felt threatened.

Grand Duke Barker of the Kingsley family, the Twin Peninsula under the control of the Witches' Secret Society, and Countess Angelbena of the Manyu army all stood by Sophilia's side.

Not to mention the Grand Duke Cedric of Broken Blood Castle and Earl Sean of the Eternal Night Army, one is Sophilia's biggest backer, and the other is her most loyal ally. Recently, there are rumors that the relationship between the two will be go one step further.

When the time comes, the Holy See will not be able to withstand the pressure from the royal family, and Princess Regent Sophilia will point it out again, not to uproot the Holy See of Ether, but to target him, St. George.

At that time, it was still unknown whether the senior officials of the Holy See of St. George would stand by his side.

After comprehensive weighing, Pope St. George had no choice but to accept the Princess Regent's proposal to hold a comprehensive meeting in Lennon.

For this meeting, Pope St. George specially held three more large-scale evangelistic meetings in Lennon, turning this place into his home field.

Therefore, when Sophilia's princess convoy arrived in Lennon City, although there were huge crowds of people, they did not line the road to welcome them, but to protest and boycott. Some even threw rotten vegetables at the princess convoy.

"You are not welcome here, this is already the land of the true god."

"Heretical! Heretics who resist the glory of the true God. The God of Truth is the only true God in the world. You are trying to keep the glory of the true God away."

"The true God is watching you! Only by believing in the true God can your souls be saved!"

"How dare the blasphemer set foot on this sacred land? Defile our sight, hearing and soul?"

"Accepting the true God is the only way of salvation, in order to avoid God's punishment and the doomsday."

"Sinner, I pray for you, and pray that the true God will forgive your sins."

All kinds of impassioned insults and curses were introduced into the princess carriage.

Black Rose Wendy's face was full of anger, and she said with righteous indignation: "Are these guys making a mistake? Whose subjects are they? Who has protected them for so many years?

Ten years ago, when the great plague killed one-third of the city's population, where was their true god? Wasn't it because of the princess's free assistance that they survived that catastrophe? They were so ungrateful, and they got carried away with the appearance of a few true god messengers who didn't know the truth?

No, you can bear it, but I can't bear it, let me go out, I must wake up these bastards. "

White Qiangwei Biluo and Red Qiangwei Amelia pressed her shoulders tightly, preventing her from rushing out of the carriage.

Bi Luo said with a stern face: "No nonsense, if you really go out and make a scene, you will be tricked by the other party instead, and your Highness Princess will be passive in the next negotiation."

Amelia comforted softly: "Although they are devout believers of the Holy See now, they are still the subjects of the royal family. If we kill them, it will put us in a difficult situation. They are only bewitched for a while. After a while, they will understand that the God of Truth is not as omnipotent as they imagined."

"I just don't understand how people can be so stupid and believe what others say." Wendy still couldn't dispel the fire.

"It's not wrong for people to believe in good things. What's wrong is those who use the good things they believe in for their own benefit." Princess Sophilia was tepid, because before that, she knew very well that she was against What is it.

Just as they were discussing, cheers came from outside.

"His Majesty has come, His Majesty St. George has come."

"It's really His Majesty. Your Majesty is more energetic than the legends."

"Look, look, His Majesty is waving at me and smiling at me."

On the street, there is another convoy running in the opposite direction of Princess Sophia's convoy. The atmosphere caused by the passage is completely opposite to that caused by the princess convoy, forming the most stark contrast.

The owner of this convoy is none other than St. George, the new Pope of the Holy See.

In just three months, Pope St. George's body has undergone new changes. There is no trace of burns on his whole body. On the contrary, his skin is as smooth and delicate as a baby's, which is enough to make countless women go crazy with jealousy.

This kind of negative aura seems to be impossible to produce in front of the new pope, because his whole body is filled with a holy and peaceful aura, which even ordinary people can clearly feel, and will unconsciously feel it. Substituted into that peaceful atmosphere, a strong sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

Even the Princess Regent and her party who came here with a vigilant heart were unknowingly caught. Wendy, who was anxious and angry along the way, subconsciously disappeared.

"Put away your tricks of fooling people, otherwise we don't need to continue." Princess Sophie Liya yelled angrily.

Pope St. George said with a peaceful smile: "Your Highness, there seems to be a deep misunderstanding and prejudice against the Holy See and me..."

"Let's go!" Princess Sophilia turned her head and walked towards her princess motorcade without saying a word.

"Wait!" Pope St. George hurriedly called out, "Your Highness misunderstood, I really didn't do it deliberately, the power bestowed on me by the true God is too huge, and I haven't fully controlled it yet, do you think it's okay now?"

Pope St. George took a deep breath. The power called holy power that filled his body had obviously weakened a lot, and he could no longer affect people's emotions as before.

Amelia and Biluo looked as if they had realized something, while Wendy was a little confused, and then her temper broke out completely, she pulled out her scythe, and said with claws and teeth; "Bastard, how dare you?" Use magic on me..."

"Protect Your Majesty!" The Pope's guards around St. George also drew their swords and blocked St. George.

"Wendy, step back."

"Stop, back off."

Princess Sophilia and Pope St. George scolded at the same time.

"Your Highness, they are bullying too much." Wendy's anger was still there.

"Back off." Princess Sophilia's voice raised several decibels, and there was not much sense of blame in it. Obviously, she was also very dissatisfied with Pope St. George's actions, but for the sake of the overall situation, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Of order." Wendy reluctantly agreed, still staring at Pope St. George with a fierce gaze, she really didn't like the feeling of being manipulated before.

Wendy restrained her attacking stance, and the Pope's guards beside Pope St. George retreated naturally.

Princess Regent Sophilia said with a blank expression: "Only this time, if this happens again, I will regard it as provocative to your Excellency, and will not negotiate with you in any form. The royal family will regard the Holy See as an enemy. Carry out all-round extermination."

"His Highness's will is clear to me." Pope St. George's expression did not change much from the beginning to the end, as if wearing a gentle mask on his face, "But now His Highness seems not qualified to make such an important decision on behalf of the royal family."

"Do you have the guts to try?" Princess Sophie Liya asked back.

"Don't dare to try." Pope St. George shook his head and said, "There is no need to try. I never thought of going to war with the royal family. We are just servants of the true God. In order to spread the gospel of the true God and gain more believers for the true God, This is not only harmless to the rule of the royal family, but even beneficial, I don't understand why Her Royal Highness is so mobilizing so many people?"

"It is beneficial to the rule of the royal family?" Red Rose Amelia sneered, "When His Excellency the Pope said this, please go outside and see what attitude your followers treat His Highness, they only remember that it is the Pope now I don’t remember being a member of the royal family anymore, if this continues, should we also call His Majesty the Pope your Majesty?”

"Please, Ms. Amelia, don't make such a joke. I can't bear such a big crime." Pope St. George argued, "These believers must have misunderstood something, otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a big crime." Those who committed the crime, if Her Royal Highness does not believe it, can definitely attend one of my evangelistic meetings, and see if I have ever promoted anything that is not conducive to the rule of the royal family during the process?"

"Your Excellency the Pope is really good at calculating. If Her Royal Highness the Princess personally attended the evangelistic meeting of His Excellency the Pope, wouldn't it cause misunderstandings to the people below? Let them mistakenly think that Her Highness the Princess has also converted to your Holy See?" Amelia's face said The sneer is more obvious.

Pope St. George could no longer maintain a gentle mask, and frowned: "Ms. Amelia has too much prejudice against the Holy See. Use your prejudiced eyes to look at the Holy See. Everything we do Everything is done with ulterior motives, if we continue to talk with this mentality, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get any results."

"The recent actions of His Excellency the Pope, it is really hard for people not to think about it, especially what you have done to His Royal Highness Laurie." Amelia still had an aggressive posture.

"What did we do to His Royal Highness Laurie?" Pope St. George looked puzzled, "Ms. Amelia, don't frame anyone. Have we ever done anything outrageous?"

"Stop pretending to be confused here." Amelia said angrily, "Saint Enid is your goddaughter, she tricked His Royal Highness Laurie to join the Holy See, ready to accept your baptism, don't say it's not From your instruction, don't tell me, you don't know about it at all."

"So you said this." Pope St. George suddenly realized, "I know about this, but you said that I sent Enid to seduce His Royal Highness Laurie, that is an out-and-out false accusation Now, this needs to be based on real evidence. Faith is a matter of your will. How could we make His Royal Highness Laurie believe something? Did you misunderstand something? I think it is better to ask the person directly if you ask me about this matter. "

"Whether other people have this ability, I don't know, but His Excellency the Pope has this ability, it is certain. Didn't Your Excellency try to influence our emotions just now?" Amelia's offensive was sharp and direct.

"This is a groundless accusation, whether it is against the Holy See or me personally." Pope St. George denied it with a mouthful, and said with a serious expression, "Neither before nor in the future, our Holy See will not use such means of the devil .”

"Do you mean that the devil did this? Or is your goddaughter Enid a devil believer? The devil is helping the Holy See to do things? Your Holy See is the biggest beneficiary of this matter." Amelia A new round of charges was issued.
