That's right, Lugpu also didn't receive the news in advance. He didn't expect that things would develop like this. Indeed, he had voted for Li Huailin, and he also wanted to launch a coup together with Li Huailin, but he was still completely unprepared. Li Huailin didn't tell him anything before inexplicably killing Pope Rutledge, and then he was immediately nominated. Lugpu was completely unprepared.
"Why are you so anxious?" Lugpu was really a bit resentful towards Li Huailin. He naturally believed that this matter was done by Li Huailin, and he didn't even inform him about it. Now, this situation was giving Lugpu a headache, because according to his original plan, he could control the high-level members of Dark Church first, so he naturally wouldn't be afraid. But now, Gurt had brought two bodyguards, this … if the negotiation broke down, and Dark Church directly started a war with Li Huailin, then what would happen to him, a guy who looked like a traitor?
At this time, everyone in the conference room was looking at Lugpu. Some were questioning, and some were angry, which made Lugpu very anxious. He understood that everyone was looking at his reaction, and he could only choose two things. One was to directly express that he didn't accept this proposal, which would naturally offend Li Huailin. The other was to directly express that he was willing to succeed Li Huailin, which was practically telling everyone that he was in contact with Li Huailin. This was the time to declare his position.
Under the tremendous pressure, Lugpu pondered for a moment, then gritting his teeth, he stood up and said: "I think what Sir Gurt said is very reasonable. At present, the Dark Church is in chaos, so we really need to confirm the new Pope. Only then can we command the entire Dark Church to continue investigating the murderer who killed His Excellency the Pope."
Loganpu's words were obviously in support of Geert. Everyone instantly understood that this guy really had a secret relationship with the continent's government. It was too obvious. From the looks of it, this whole thing was probably Loganpu's doing, and Pope Rutledge's death was definitely related to him.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anger, hostility, and disdain. This caused Luo Gump to feel even more pressure. However, he had already decided to say this, which meant that he was prepared to follow Li Huailin to the end. After all, if he gave up now, there was no need to talk about the position of Pope. Once Li Huailin truly took control of the Dark Church, he would definitely be the first to be disposed of. Luo Gump still believed that Li Huailin would be able to control Dark Church in the end, so he could only hold on like this for now.
"Logan!" Elder Therok, who had the worst temper, could not help but stand up. He pointed at Gump and said, "Tell me, do you have anything to do with His Highness the Pope?"
The entire scene quieted down. Yes, everyone wanted to ask this question, but no one dared to step forward. They had never thought that Elder Therok would step forward. Everyone turned towards Luo Gump and Geert to see what they were going to do.
Geert didn't speak, but Luo Gump couldn't bear it. He couldn't take the blame for this. Moreover, he really didn't know anything about this matter. He pointed at Therok and said, "Elder Therok, what do you mean by this?"
"You know what I mean in your heart!" Therok had already determined that Luo Gump was the traitor, so he bluntly said, "That year, I knew that you weren't a good guy. It was His Highness the Pope who promoted you, but now you actually did this kind of thing!"
"What did I do, Therok, don't slander me!" Luo Gump immediately roared. He definitely couldn't admit it at this time. But looking at the expression of the people present, Luo Gump felt a headache. No one believed him at all.
"This elder." At this time, Geert spoke, "What do you mean? According to you, this Bishop Luo Gump is related to the assassination of His Highness the Pope? Don't tell me that the mastermind you are talking about is him? "
Everyone was about to roll their eyes, okay? The mastermind is your continent's government, okay? This Luo Gump is one of your people, how can you still say such words?
"How could I assassinate His Highness the Pope!" Luo Gump immediately said, "I am loyal and devoted to Dark Church! Therok! How can you slander me! "
"Yes, according to the information on our side, Lord Luo Gump is indeed loyal and devoted to Dark Church. Moreover, most of the people know about it, right?" Geert swept the people around him, "How about this, before I said that Luo Gump is the Pope, our continent's government supports him. If any of you think that he is the murderer of His Highness the Pope, then raise your hand and oppose him becoming the Pope. If no one raises their hand, then it means that you all trust him and are willing to elect him as the new Pope. My proposal is not bad, right? Naturally, we don't have the right to vote, I am just proposing. "
Geert emphasized on 'proposal', but everyone knew that this wasn't just a 'proposal', it was the final ultimatum. It all depended on which side they stood on. Obviously, everyone knew the truth, but it depended on whether you were going to oppose it or not. Everyone immediately tensed up.
"I am the first to oppose!" Before Geert could finish his words, elder Therok directly raised his hand and said, "I can't endure it anymore. In any case, this father is already old, I am not afraid of you. And you guys, before, each and every one of you said how loyal you are to Dark Church, but now, you don't even dare to utter a word? "
Everyone present lowered their head under Therok's gaze. That's right, they felt ashamed. This time's situation (in their opinion) was very clear, it was the conspiracy of the continent's government, and Luo Gump was the mole. Now, the other party wanted to force Dark Church to become the Pope, making the Dark Church become the vassal of the continent's government. But they were hesitating because the current strength of the continent's government was too strong, if they were to oppose it, they might be courting death. Therok also said that he was already old, he was not afraid of anything, but the problem was that they were not that old, so they were afraid.
"You guys!" Therok swept his gaze around, and unexpectedly, no one stood up. He was the only one standing in the hall. He looked at Bishop Xerrod beside him, but what he didn't expect was that Bishop Xerrod also lowered his head and didn't look at him. "Xerrod, why are you also … …"
"In short, only one person is opposing." Geert spoke, then looked at Therok who was standing there, "Elder, do you have any prejudice against our continent's government, or do you have some personal hatred with Sir Luo Gump? You see, only you are opposing, this means that everyone else is very supportive and believes in Sir Luo Gump."
"You bunch of despicable guys!" Therok roared. Everyone present lowered their head again.
And just at this time, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the conference room, "I object!"
"En?" Everyone turned their head and looked at the door. At this time, there was actually someone who stood up to object? As a result, when they saw the person who came, they were also stunned because the person who appeared was actually the last of the three black-robed bishops that they hadn't seen for a long time because of illness, Bishop Mosendra.
"Bishop Mosendra, why are you here?" Everyone was a little surprised because Bishop Mosendra was indeed old, and in recent years, he had rarely participated in the affairs of the church. Although such a big thing happened today, no one was surprised that Bishop Mosendra didn't attend the conference, or perhaps, most of them had actually forgotten that there was such a person.
"How can I not come? Look at what you guys have done to the Dark Church." After Bishop Mosendra finished speaking, he directly waved his hand, and as a result, a large group of Dark Church Knights suddenly appeared behind him and directly rushed into the conference room.
"Bishop Mosendra, what do you mean by this?" Someone immediately stood up and asked.
"What do I mean? To catch the murderer who killed His Excellency the Pope! " Mosendra said coldly, "His Excellency the Pope was obviously killed by the continent's emperor, and this Luo Gump is the traitor, he is the one who led those assassins here."
"What, I'm not!" Luo Gump immediately said, he really wasn't.
Naturally, Mosendra also knew that he wasn't the traitor, because he was the one who led the assassins here. However, he completely ignored the opposite party's words and continued to talk to the others, "All of you know about this matter, but all of you are pretending not to know. What's wrong, each and every one of you are wearing the clothes of the Dark Church, is this how you repay His Excellency the Pope?"
Everyone was once again dumbfounded by Mosendra's question. They originally felt ashamed, but now, they were even more speechless.
"Come, arrest these two guys!" Mosendra also didn't care about them, he directly pointed at Luo Gump and Geert and said.
"What?" Everyone was startled, they actually directly attacked, and even arrested Geert, a person of the continent's government. What was Bishop Mosendra doing?
"Bishop Mosendra!" Someone immediately wanted to stop them, but this group of Knights only listened to Mosendra's words. They immediately arrived at the side of Geert and Luo Gump, and directly pulled the two of them.
"Mosendra! Quickly let me go! You are rebelling! "Luo Gump was very nervous, and immediately shouted anxiously.
"Rebelling? You are the one who is rebelling. " Mosendra sneered and said, "You are very clear about what you have done. Come, take these two guys away."
"Good!" Elder Serok was the first to shout, "Bishop Mosendra, well done!"
However, he was the only one who supported Mosendra, that's all. The other people had anxious look on their face, how could they also arrest Geert, this wasn't...
"Alright." Mosendra directly waved his hand and said, "Now, you have no choice, you should also wake up. The war has begun! "
