Assassinate the Pope?

Everyone was stunned.

“Not good!”Saint Lorenzo suddenly realized something, and his face turned extremely ugly. “Damn the Holy See, their methods are actually so despicable. We made a mistake. We shouldn’t have had any hope and let Lorraine go to them to reconcile.”

Hearing his words, the others gradually came to their senses and immediately knew the insidiousness of this. Obviously, Lorraine would never be stupid enough to assassinate the pope. Instead, she was used by the Pope. As a result.., the already disadvantaged situation of their military region became even more passive.

“Treacherous!”

“He actually used the person sent to deliver the message!”

Everyone was furious.

At this moment, another major ran over from outside and hurriedly said, “Reporting to the commander, Generals, Richelieu and the Great Light King have led the Holy Knight army stationed behind to attack!”

“What? !”Saint Lorenza and Bryson suddenly stood up, their faces full of shock.

The other generals were also stunned. Wasn’t the pace of the matter too fast?

“They are actually preparing to attack? Are they crazy? !”Saint Lorenza was extremely shocked and furious, most of them didn’t understand. “Even if Roland assassinated the pope, it was only a subordinate’s matter. They actually attacked our military region? Aren’t they afraid of being criticized? !”

The major was sweating profusely, he hurriedly said, “Reporting to the commander, their attack was not because of the assassination of the Pope, but because a senior colonel stationed outside the compound falsely passed down your orders and shot arrows at Richelieu and the others who were waiting outside the compound. This angered them.”

“What? !”Saint Lorenza was stunned again.

The other generals were also dumbfounded.

“Damn fool, how, how…”Saint Lorenz was so angry that his body was trembling. If he could barely endure the assassination of the pope, then how could his own men attack Richelieu and the others, he couldn’t bear it anymore if he started the war first. The significance of this matter was far more terrible than the assassination of the pope, especially at this critical moment, which was a disaster!

“What’s the situation outside now?”Bryson hurriedly asked.

The major quickly replied, “The senior colonel who passed the fake military order has already been controlled by Major General Moss. However, Richelieu and the Great Radiant King have already led the Holy Knight Army to attack. Our defense has been broken through. I reckon that they will attack here very soon.”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Their minds buzzed and they felt dizzy. The change in the situation was far beyond their expectations. Their minds could not keep up with it.

One had to know that if it was a head-on confrontation, their military region would not be afraid of the Holy See at all. However, the soldiers stationed at the military region headquarters had not entered the state of battle yet, firstly, they did not expect the Holy See to attack them without giving them any warning. Secondly, the soldiers of the military region were scattered in various barracks. These barracks were not in the military region headquarters but in other divisions.

Such a distribution was mainly to facilitate the support of the fire of war.

Although they had already gathered the troops of these divisions, the army needed time to move forward. The Holy See’s attack time was too fast, and the situation instantly went out of control!

“How many troops do we have?”Saint Lorenza woke up and immediately asked the generals. At this point, he knew that there was no point in pursuing the matter of the senior colonel, the Holy See now had sufficient reasons to send troops to attack, and the attack was already in front of them. The only thing they should do now was to defend and defeat the Holy See. As for the rest of the matters, they could only wait until the war was over, they could use other ways to change it.

“Reporting to the commander, the first Legion is on standby. The First Division, Second Division, and Fifth Division of the second Legion are on standby!”A burly general with five stars on his shoulder immediately said.

The other generals had solemn expressions. They knew that this battle had finally begun. Although they were at a disadvantage in name, they had a huge advantage in war. It was not difficult for them to take down the Holy See.

“All the troops are to be mobilized immediately to block the Knights of the Church!”Saint Lorenza immediately said.

Bryson’s expression was gloomy as he said, “Richelieu and the great light king are a little troublesome. I will personally take action. Damn the Holy See. It has been too long since they took action. Do they really think that our military region is a soft persimmon that they can easily crush!”After saying that.., he stood up and left in large strides.

A few generals in charge of the division immediately stood up and followed behind him.

Saint Lorenza did not stop him. After all the generals leading the army left.., he said to the remaining generals and staff officers, “The Holy See came prepared this time. From the current situation, all of this is a conspiracy of the Holy See. The excuse to attack us is too well prepared. It should have been planned for a long time. The attack this time will definitely not be so simple. Although Richelieu is the pope, before he became the Pope, he was the number one person in the Holy See. His strength is unparalleled. Now that he is cooperating with the current great radiant king, the Sea of people tactic may not be effective. Do you have any plans?”

“Commander, in my opinion, one of them will lead a sharp knife team to break out of the encirclement and attack our headquarters. Otherwise, they won’t be able to contend with us by relying on their military strength alone!”A small-eyed old staff officer said in a low voice, “We can set up an ambush in advance and send the poison front team to defend outside our headquarters building. Even if Richelieu can break through the poison front team’s defense, he will still be severely injured. There is nothing to fear.”

“Commander, I think we should let ‘Ghost Dragon’take action and kill Richelieu on the spot before attacking the Holy See.”Another staff officer in his sixties said in a cold voice, “Now that the Holy See has won the hearts of the people and used the name of the dark cultists to attack us, once we lose, we will have nothing. The military region will be like the elemental temple and become a puppet of the Holy See. We can only completely destroy the Holy See. Although the reputation is not very good, the power can suppress all rebellious voices. When the Holy See is no longer around, we can slowly build up our reputation.”

“I agree,”another person said.

Hearing their words, Saint Lorenza frowned and said, “Ghost Dragon is violent. We can’t completely control him. If he takes the opportunity to run away…”

“Commander,”the old staff officer said, “If we let Ghost Dragon Go, we can promise him that as long as he helps us destroy the Holy See, we will grant him freedom!”

Saint Lorenza glanced at him and pondered for a while, then said, “Immediately send someone to find Ghost Dragon and ask if he agrees.”

“Yes.”A general immediately ordered the young captain who was waiting outside the conference hall.

“Commander, should we ask for reinforcements from the inner wall?”Another staff officer looked worried, he said, “It’s too strange for the Holy See to hand over the position of Pope this time and send troops to us. Don’t you think it’s a little strange? If all of this is controlled by the power behind the Holy See in the inner wall, I’m worried that there are experts from the inner wall mixed in with the army of Knights of the church. If that’s really the case, even if we let Ghost Dragon take action, it’s most likely…”

Hearing his words, the faces of the people changed slightly.

Saint Lorenzo was shocked and lowered his head in silence.
