Chapter 571: The Twelve Holy War Knights

"Lavendon Ficklow, you seem to have a problem with your ears. I, Arthur Hebrew High Priest in red is also one of the parties involved. He dared to have someone attack a servant of God. This is a provocation to the Holy See, disrespect to the Pope, and disobedience to the Beast God. It is conceivable that there is something he dare not do. This is the scourge of the empire!"

Zou Liang said coldly, one big hat after another was buttoned up, oh shit, you are not the only ones who know how to wear hats.

"You, this is just your one-sided opinion. If you say what you say, you will be what you say. The empire doesn't let you do whatever you want!"

Lavender yelled angrily.

"Lavendon Ficklow, I, Arthur Hebrew, swear in the name of the Beast God, every word I say is true, and half of it is false, I am willing to suffer God's punishment, and I will fall into hell forever and not be reborn!"

Zou Liang burst out every word and every word, and immediately the elders fell silent.

In fact, everyone knows the matter. There have been a lot of incidents of Nanben's top ten princes robbing civilian girls, but they were all settled by the Ficklow family. This kid probably saw Princess Shana's beauty and didn't recognize Arthur.

Swearing a divine curse is the most severe oath. In the imperial capital, or even the entire continent, no matter how influential the Holy See is, unless it is a heretic, no one dares to ignore such a divine curse, especially the priests. And when Zou Liang said such words, almost everyone believed them, and one can imagine the anger in the heart of the young priest in red at this moment. Embarrassing in front of VIPs, this is simply a slap in the face.

"Ahem, Earl of Lavandome, opening Doran City is the most important decision of the empire in these years. It is necessary to revive the prestige of our Mengjia and make other empires submit to the prestige of God. As a result, at such a critical moment, your precious son actually did such a thing. If you can't deal with it fairly, how can you care about others in the future."

At this sensitive moment, Bixiu said suddenly, Gabriel's patriarch was dumbfounded when he spoke.

And there is no room for it. For Bixiu, any force that cooperates with Nicholas is an enemy. What's more, she must stand by Arthur's side at this time, otherwise she really won't be a mother.

"Some people rely on the strength of their families to do evil, ignore the law, ignore the power of the gods, and dare to do this in the face of the red-clothed priest and the princess of a country. Is there anything in this world that is in his eyes? Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. You are really amazing, young master Feklo."

Everyone knows that the leader of the Adventurer's Guild hates bullying men and women the most. It's just that it was useless for her to oppose it alone. This is an unspoken rule, but it's different now.

For the first time, Bixiu and Odonna agreed, they were both women, but they still didn't look at each other.

Lavender was not feeling well.

"The ranks of the apostles have already intervened in the investigation. Nanben Ficklow has already pleaded guilty. He admitted to molesting Princess Shana, attacking the high priest in red, and confessed to many crimes. Over the years, he has raped more than a hundred women, and he can die hundreds of times according to the law!"

William tepidly took out a crime and placed it on the table.

Immediately the audience whispered.

"Why don't I know about this?" Mr. Consul Sanchez can't just sit idly by. If he doesn't speak, the whole direction of the wind will be dominated by the Holy See.

"Lord Sanchez, you are the Grand Consul, and you are concerned about the affairs of the entire empire. Do I have to report to you one by one when I interrogate a prisoner? There are rules for the ranks of the apostles!"

William still said with a smile, but there was obviously dissatisfaction in the triangular eyes. The apostles' ranks are poisonous snakes that have hidden their fangs all these years, but now that it is exposed a little, it will remind people of something.

This is the ranks of the apostles, the most terrifying place when the Holy See was glorious - the Inquisition.

The aristocrats of the Council of Elders also found that the ranks of the apostles, the Adventurer's Guild, and other forces that are relatively close to the Holy See, which have been keeping a low profile for the past few years, are showing signs of becoming tough.

But the ranks of the apostles are already very domineering. Over the years, they have controlled the ranks of the apostles by suppressing their funds, but recently they have begun to lose control.

Zou Shengun is also increasing his investment in the ranks of apostles. Of course, the ranks of apostles will not be so mixed that they only rely on Zou Liang.

In fact, all of this was in the hands of the half-asleep and half-awake old man. Despite the commotion below, the Pope had no intention of speaking.

"There are no rules and no rules. When did we, Meng Jia, become a barbaric tribe? Some people do whatever they want!" It was the president of the Hunting Shadow Guild who spoke. Recently, the Hunting Shadow Guild seems to be getting closer to the Holy See.

At the beginning, the noisy characters were all small characters, but now it's time for the real thing.

"It's not that serious. I don't think everyone should raise this issue to such a high level."

It was the president of the Engravers Guild who spoke, and at this moment, he regained his balance.

"As far as the matter is concerned, Nanben and the Feikeluo family must bear their due responsibilities!" The person who spoke was the official close to the people.

Monta Iris has never been merciless in his speech.

Lavandome suddenly felt that things were getting out of control. He keenly discovered that the Ficklow family seemed to be the target of the Holy See.

Pope Benedict XV opened his eyes and glanced at Lavandome lightly. At that moment, Lavandome felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Bot, according to the crimes committed by Nanben, what kind of punishment should he be in?"

"The crime is heinous, be tortured or burned at the stake." Bot said respectfully.

The brief conversation between the Pope and Bot was to give Nanben a qualitative time.

The Grand Consul coughed a few times, "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be considered in the long run."

"Sanchez, what are you fussing about?" The Pope glanced at the Archon with a look of disregard in his voice.

Arthur's tossing has already been paved. There are facts, plus the oath of the high priest in red. If you don't take the opportunity to get it done, you will lose your momentum and everything will be in vain, and the Pope will obviously not let it go.

For some reason, Zou Liang didn't really care about this situation. He felt that the chances of winning were in his hands. He always felt that the Pope didn't take this matter to heart, nor did he take the people present seriously.

"This..." Sanchez was also at a loss for words for a moment. They were too ignorant, and they never thought that the Holy See would be so bold as to attack the Feklo family.

The influence of the old family is very strong, the roots are intertwined, and it is easy to mess up when it moves. This is what the Holy See was most afraid of before, but now it seems...

"For the sake of the Feikeluo family's contribution to the empire, Nanben is hanged, and the Feikeluo family imposes a penalty of 50 million gold coins, which will be executed immediately."

Benedict XV said.

At that moment, everyone thought they heard it wrong, and Lavandome was in a trance for a while, and then he heard it wrong.

His son is going to die? ? ? Didn't he just get a few untouchable women? Didn't they just kill a few untouchables?

Fifty million gold coins, crazy? ? ?

"Ahem, Your Majesty, is this decision too hasty?" Mephisto, the president of the Fighters Guild, said.

Everyone else also felt a powerful crisis. Is this the cowardly pope?

It seems that since the moment he became Pope, this is the first time he wants to execute a person at the Council of Elders. The punishment of 50 million gold coins is in line with his greedy nature, but he didn't have such a big appetite before. It seems that tens of thousands of gold coins are enough.

Fifty million? ?

"Your Majesty, I request a referendum by the Council of Elders to decide on this matter!" Grand Consul Sanchez said angrily.

Benedict XV stood up and looked around, his eyes were very calm, but the nobles of the Council of Elders felt the majesty exclusive to the Pope from the Pope for the first time.

Arthur also felt it. In fact, when he saw the Pope and Bot today, he had such a premonition. Originally, he made a fuss this time to provide the Pope with an opportunity, but he felt that maybe it didn't matter whether he had this opportunity or not.

The Pope glanced at Bott, who clapped his hands, and Nebello in the crowd suddenly had a bad premonition.

Twelve people covered in gray robes walked into the Council of Elders. It seemed that the soldiers outside did not stop them. Twelve people stood in the center and saluted the Pope respectfully.

Slowly pulling down the cap of the robe, everyone was between forty and fifty, with a solemn expression and eyes full of confidence of a master.

The members of the Elders' Council looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

"Let me introduce to you, these are the twelve jihad knights of the inner court. Starting today, they will be in charge of the military affairs of the empire. I hope everyone will cooperate. William, the ranks of the apostles will return to the Holy See from today, and will be responsible for cleaning up heresies."

"Your Majesty, this is complete nonsense!" Mephisto, the president of the Warriors Guild, roared angrily. Over the years, with the support of the Grand Consul, the Warriors Guild has indeed been very prosperous. Besides, the warriors are the main force of the empire.

Everyone was stunned by this change, and there was no sign at all. Although Zou Liang didn't know what was going on, he could vaguely sense the power that the Pope or the Holy See had been hiding all along, because the recovery of the four demon kings had also begun to wake up, or the Pope decided to act first.

One of the twelve jihad knights made a lightning shot, and it was the Bill tribe.

Mephisto snorted coldly, he was the majestic president of the fighter guild, and someone dared to provoke him.

boom……

Mephisto flew out, while the holy war knight was unscathed, and Mephisto fell to the ground.

A fighter who was at the peak of Jin Yao was hit hard by a blow, but the opponent looked like he was fine.

Bill who knocked Mephisto into the air didn't even look at him, and stood respectfully back to his original position.

"Peak of Dark Gold." Nicholas, who had been watching coldly, said.

All the members of the Senate were dumbfounded at the moment. There are very few dark gold masters in the empire, and almost all of them are under the control of the major families, so they are not afraid of the Holy See at all.

At this time, any shot among the twelve people turned out to be the peak of the dark gold, and one of the twelve holy war knights stepped out, "I will obey the holy order."

"The role of the Council of Elders in the transitional period has ended. Now that Mengjia has entered a special period, all members above the Jinyao level of each family need to report and be ready to enlist in the army at any time."

The pope said lightly, but his voice was unquestionable. The corners of the mouths of the heads of several big families twitched a few times, but they didn't speak.

The twelve dark gold peak powerhouses are here, and their strength determines the right to speak. Obviously, the current situation is no longer suitable for discussion.

"Arthur, Nebello, you two will come over later."

The pope left after leaving a word. The catastrophe that this sudden change brought to the Feklo family was no longer a big deal.

inner court?

what is that?

But it was obvious that Bott knew, and William was not surprised, that the ranks of the apostles were the power of the Holy See.

At this moment, Zou Liang seemed to understand that the Pope was about to launch the fifth jihad. From a higher perspective, no matter how many Mengjia factions, as long as the Holy See has strength, they can be united in an instant. As for wealth, where is it going?

However, Zou Liang still has a mystery in his heart. Since the Holy See is so strong, why should it bear it?

The secret began to be unraveled, but there were even greater doubts, but no matter what, it was a good sign for Zou Liang.

For the nobles of the imperial capital, today is undoubtedly the beginning of a nightmare. They, who are used to enjoying the privileges above the law, suddenly feel a chill.

It's just that the Holy See is more fully prepared and has made great strides.

The one with the ugliest face was Grand Consul Sanchez, who had been in charge of Mengjia for many years and had great ambitions. He suffered a blow to the head, which Sanchez couldn't bear no matter what.

Over the years, the major families seem to have forgotten that they were just courtiers following the Holy See back then.

It's just that the life is too moist, and he regards himself as the master.

Ignoring the already blown-up Senate, Zou Liang and Nebero followed Bott to the Pope's palace.

Zou Liang is similar to Nebeiro, full of doubts, sometimes Zou Liang admires Nebeiro, this city is no worse than his magic stick, the Holy See has shown such strength, but Nebeiro seems like a person who has nothing to do.

For some reason, Zou Liang even felt that Nebeiro was snickering. This feeling was inexplicable, but Zou Liang really felt it.

The two waited quietly, neither of them spoke, obviously they were not in the mood to chat at this time.

It's impossible for the pope to finish with just a few words. I'm afraid it's really about to start, but Zou Liang doesn't know these things at this level.

The two were waiting silently, but the high society in the imperial capital was about to go crazy because of this incident. All the major families felt a strong crisis, but the Pope revealed these twelve people today just to tell everyone that the Holy See wants to take power, and everyone must be obedient if they have something to do.

The appearance of the twelve Holy Knights is just the beginning.

Soon the second thing happened, and that was that the Knights of the Holy War took over the city defense.

There was even a small-scale conflict with the city guards, but it was undoubtedly suppressed. The holy war knights were different from ordinary knights, and their fighting power was amazing, but where did these people come from?

The Apostles and the Adventurers' Guild controlled by William are also in action, and Odona still firmly obeys the Pope's orders.

But the Nicholas family and other big families in dozens of imperial capitals are full of gloom, and the bigger the family, the more fearful it is.

In contrast, the Monta Iris family is much better, because the Monta Iris family smells the smell of war, which makes the Monta Iris family who are tired of their current life very excited.

As one of the five major families, Gabriel's Bixiu was in a state of conflict, because of Arthur, Gabriel obviously had one more chance than the other families, but this incident happened too suddenly. What on earth did the Pope want to do?

Launch a jihad?

It's so inexplicable.

Is this still the Pope?

Zou Liang and Nebeiro were waiting, and it turned out that they waited for a whole night, and they didn't sleep because Bott didn't let them go.

After one night, there were more rumors in the imperial capital, but the nobles were the ones who were terrified, while the ordinary people either didn't care, or were filled with excitement that the glorious Holy See had returned.

Mephisto was seriously injured, and the Warriors Guild was also taken over. There was also a pope in the Warriors Guild. Obviously, Mephisto was not killed because it was not easy to see him become the peak of Jin Yao, but Meng Jia didn't care about such a person.

There are a lot of sleepless people...

Benedict XV did not come back until dawn. The Pope seemed very calm, not agitated, but not as drowsy as usual, as if he had just had breakfast.

Bot was still waiting on the sidelines.

Seeing Arthur and Nebello, the Pope showed a smile, "I kept you waiting for a long time."

Arthur and Nebello didn't dare to take big shots, and they both stood up.

"Sit down, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, the two of you are here to make it clear to you, who will ask first?"

The Pope took a slow sip of the tea that Bert brought.

Apparently, Nebeiro had more doubts than Zou Liang, "Your Majesty, if you are so fierce, you may cause a strong reaction. In fact, you can use another method."

Although Nebello didn't know much about the inner court, there were historical records. Few people had such a deep understanding of the Holy See like Nebello.

Legend has it that the Holy See is an inner court, the core of the Holy See's power and strength, but I heard that it has been cancelled, but I didn't expect it to still exist.

Benedict XV smiled, "I am going to launch the fifth jihad, to be precise, the fifth jihad is coming."

"You mean the Thunder Demon King has really recovered?" Zou Liang frowned.

"Not only the Thunder Demon King, but also the Wind Demon King has recovered. In other words, their power has been spread. Five hundred years have passed, and it's time to understand again."

Benedict XV did not have any fear, but also a little expectation.

"Aren't they wiped out?"

The four demon kings, the seal of the seal, the destruction of the destruction, but neither the destruction nor the sealing is completely wiped out.

"When the power reaches a certain level, it cannot be completely wiped out. The Thunder Demon King is revived, and the power of the Wind Demon King and the Fire Demon King will be inherited." The Pope said a few words, and signaled Bot to continue with his eyes.

Bott nodded, "The Thunder Demon King controlled some orcs, mastered the Wilderness, and proclaimed himself the God of Thunder, and Fengtuo of the Kingdom of Wind is the carrier of the Wind Demon King's power. The battle between the Kingdom of Wind and the Wilderness will only stop when the soul of Fengtuo's Wind Demon King awakens."

Both Zou Liang and Nebeiro were stunned by the "truth". It turned out to be like this? ? ?

I thought that the two sides were afraid of consumption, but it turned out that they were "our own people".

Regardless of the Thunder Demon King or the Wind Demon King, the biggest enemy is the Holy See.

"Could it be that the Fire Demon King is the Hannibal Empire?" Nebero couldn't help asking.

"No, the Fire Demon King is the national teacher of the Saron Empire, and the current king of the Saron Empire is the son of the Fire Demon King and the orc."

Bot's words were like bombs one after another, and Qilunhuo Saron, the king of the Saron Empire, was also the one who broke the army in the seven kills.

Fengtuo, Aiolia, Qilunhuo Saron, and the three stars of Shapolang gathered together.

In fact, Hannibal's Xuan Ye is the Ziwei star with three sides and four uprights, and he is also a normal orc.

Nebeiro is the crape myrtle lone star.

From beginning to end, Master Yi made a mistake, because they did not ignore the factor of the Yaozu.

The Holy See had lost its power due to the holy war with the Snow Demon Queen. In order to meet the new holy war, the Holy See had to hide its capabilities and bide its time, and was unable to expand its secular power.

The four demon kings are existences with both strength and wisdom. After the three demon kings recovered one after another, they all chose to remain silent. On the one hand, they were also severely injured and needed time to recover their strength.

After the confirmation, the pope can no longer wait, and must start mobilizing strength now.

Both Zou Liang and Nebeiro were overwhelmed by the news, but this was just the beginning.

"In the battle of the Heaven-reaching Realm, the monster race will also enter. There are things in the road to the sky that determine the balance of the war, so we are bound to win. Once the monster race gets it, the consequences will be disastrous."

Bot's words surprised the two of them again.

"Then why did Huxie open the road to the sky?" Zou Liang couldn't help asking.

"Because we also need this power, but the rules for obtaining this power are not made by us. The power to bluff the Lord is just the key to the beginning."

Bot explained, "Your Majesty and Mr. Huxie are brothers."

Zou Liang was stunned again.

Damn it, it's all my own people around the circle.

"The reason for discovering this secret is also thanks to the daughter of Mr. Hu Xie who took the risk."

As the successor of Master Yi, Hua Xie's daughter would not be so stupid as to send her to her door. Master Yi was already prepared to sacrifice, and this was the fate of every Master Yi.

"Nerbero, the power of the Holy See alone is not enough for jihad. I hope you can shoulder your share of responsibility." Benedict XV said.

Nebello was silent for a while, "Your Majesty, I need to think about it."

The Pope nodded, and Nebello got up to leave. He knew what the Pope meant, and this decision was definitely not something that could be taken lightly.

Only the Pope, Bert, and Arthur were left in the room.

"Arthur, how is Snow Girl?" Benedict XV asked directly.

Although Zou Liang was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by this straight-to-the-point.
