Chapter 441 Dark Clouds

Hermes Cathedral, Tower of Babel Chamber.

Typhron looked at the witch opposite and couldn't help but sigh.

"Does Lord Mayne really have no time?"

"Of course," the witch smoothed her golden curly hair, "otherwise he wouldn't have sent me to attend the meeting. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Isabella, the Pure One under the Pope's Crown."

"Lord Teflon, this..." The other two newly promoted bishops, Solly Dahl from the Trial Army and El from the Arbitration Tribunal, looked at each other. Although they knew that the church maintained a group of secret witches, they did not expect that the other party could also Participate in such a high-level meeting.

"She is a direct subordinate of the Pope, and her position is equivalent to that of a bishop, but she does not hold an actual position in the church," Teflon explained helplessly. "In addition, the bishop can also have his own pure ones. After the Demonic Month ends this year, , you can select a few witches to train."

"So, that's it," Solly's eyes widened, "Then... what kind of abilities do they have?"

"This is top secret and only His Majesty the Pope knows about it."

"What do we train witches for?" El looked quite dissatisfied. "If the believers below find out, the reputation of the church may be seriously affected!"

"Of course I will help you complete some shady tasks," Isabella raised her eyebrows, "Besides, I can also accompany you to sleep, vent your anger, or play some other tricks... You know , the taste of a witch is not something ordinary women can compare to."

"absurd!"

"Ahem, that's enough," Typhron coughed twice, "Lord El, I said that the Pope's pure ones are on the same level as the bishops. When acting as agents, they can even be regarded as His Majesty himself. You should know the most basic courtesy. . And Lady Isabella, please don’t make such exaggerated jokes. They are not like me, an old man with one foot in the coffin, who will take it seriously when they are angry."

"As you wish, my lord," Isabella smiled.

"Huh," El made a nasal sound and ignored the other party.

"Then let's get down to business first," Teflon said, stroking his beard, "Do you have anything to report?"

"I don't understand why Your Majesty Mayne suddenly asked church organizations in various places to escort the captured witches back to the Holy City. Even if we transform the God's Punishment Army, the price we pay is not small." El was the first to speak, probably for the pure ones. Expressing her anger, her tone was rather blunt, "Since this order was issued, we have captured a total of three witches. However, during the secret escort, one person escaped from the prison and killed all the escorts. We have not found him yet. Her whereabouts."

"Without the iron collar?" Solly asked.

"Not all churches are equipped with the most advanced Locks of Divine Punishment," El said angrily. "For this witch, we lost sixteen believers, four of whom were warriors preparing for trial. How many more times will this happen? , I’m afraid everyone will be afraid of catching witches.”

"However, we all know that fighting witches are only a very small part of the population, and most of the fallen have no ability to resist, so this kind of thing must not be too common." Isabella said in a relaxed tone, "And every time you bring more With the return of a wild witch, it is possible to add two new divine punishment warriors to the church. Which one is more important, I shouldn’t need to elaborate on it, right?"

"I agree with Lady Isabella," Solly nodded. "Now the pressure on Hermes' defense line is increasing day by day. We urgently need more God's Punishment Army to fight against the evil beasts. The role of a God's Punishment Army on the battlefield It’s enough to support three or four trial warriors, let alone a reserve army.”

"Since His Majesty the Pope has made a decision, we just have to implement it with all our heart," Teflon turned to Solly Dahl, "How is the situation on the defensive line?"

"It's very difficult. Ordinary hybrids are easy to deal with, but the most difficult ones are the hell beasts. Every time they appear, a God's Punishment Warrior will be injured or sacrificed," Solly shook his head. "The method of burying snow powder in advance and then detonating it is good, but We can't guarantee it will pass over the powder every time."

"Your Majesty has also considered this," Isabella said bluntly, "He plans to use siege beasts in advance."

"what is that?"

"A kind of siege equipment controlled by the Pure One. Its range, accuracy and power far exceed that of the trebuchet. It is also the trump card for conquering the Wolf Heart Kingdom." The Pure One explained, "The siege beast was originally used to deal with devils and giant evil spirits. The beast’s weapon, since the hell beast appeared in advance, it’s time to drag it out of the secret area.”

"Why didn't we use it from the beginning?" Solly wondered.

"Because of wear and tear," Isabella shrugged, "we can't build new ones, we can only partially repair them."

"Then where did it come from?" El asked with a frown.

"This is confidential and you have no right to know."

"you……"

Seeing silence in the secret room, Teflon clapped his hands to break the silence and said, "Okay, since all you bring is bad news, let me share some good news. Except for a few cities in the Wolf Heart Kingdom, they are still resisting. , the nobles in other places have already defected to us, just like the bunch of losers in the Kingdom of Everwinter. More and more believers are joining the church. By next summer, the Holy City's income from various resources will double. The same is true for the scale of the Judgment Army. In addition, the Kingdom of Dawn has also caused riots because of its large-scale expulsion of believers. My men are secretly assisting them to fight against the suppressed nobles. I estimate that they can persist until the end of the evil month."

"Finally heard some positive news," El breathed out, "just now I thought the church was going to be doomed."

"What nonsense are you talking about," Solly glared at her, "Aren't we making steady progress as planned?"

"Well done," Isabella nodded approvingly, and then glanced at the three of them in turn, "Now that you have finished speaking, I will explain the new decree of His Majesty the Pope."

The three archbishops immediately set their sights on the Pure.

"Your Majesty requested that we adjust the direction of next year's attack and prioritize the capture of Graycastle, with Dawn coming last."

"What?" Solly Dahl was stunned, "But all the previous plans were formulated for the Kingdom of Dawn, and the same was true for the mobilization of materials and supplies. If the plan is changed now, the attack date may be greatly delayed."

"Isn't this order planned by Lord O'Brien when he was in power? Why is it being changed now?" El Ye said in great surprise, "Both kingdoms will fall sooner or later. Is it necessary to pay attention to who comes first and who comes last?"

Teflon didn't say anything. When His Majesty Mayne asked him to send the Pure Ones to Graycastle to plan for the Western Territory, he had a premonition of this change... His Majesty's intention was not to focus on the capital of Graycastle, but the capital of Graycastle. A border land.

When the two stopped talking, he said in a deep voice, "I have no objection to the will itself, but it does involve a lot. Before it is implemented, I would like to see His Majesty Mayne. Can you tell me something?"

"No need to go to such trouble," Isabella raised her lips, "Your Majesty also wants to meet you." (To be continued.)
