Yes, there was no other choice. Bishop Mosendra had already captured Geert. This was tantamount to declaring war against the continent's government. All the high-level members of the Dark Church had different expressions. The current situation didn't allow them to continue to waver. At present, they only had two choices. One was to follow Bishop Mosendra and Li Huailin. The other was to immediately condemn them. Otherwise, when Li Huailin came to find them, they wouldn't be able to get away with it.
"Let's do it. For the sake of the Dark Church, let's go all out." Another elder stood up. He was already feeling sullen. Now that he saw Bishop Mosendra coming out, his blood rushed to his head and he said.
"For the Dark Church!" With the first one taking the lead, several senior executives who were originally feeling apologetic also stood up and said. There were quite a lot of people, but most of them still sat there in silence.
"Come, put all these traitors in prison!" What people didn't expect was that Bishop Mosendra actually pointed at the group of people who didn't stand up and said.
"What? Bishop Mosendra, you can't do this! "This group of people was stunned. They didn't expect that Mosendra would actually dare to capture them.
"Why can't I? You guys are obviously on the side of the continent's government. Don't tell me you want to keep you here to show them the way?" After Mosendra finished speaking, he turned to the people who supported him. It was very clear from their expressions that they were somewhat doubtful about Mosendra capturing these people. So Mosendra said to them, "Now is an urgent situation. We must use extreme measures. At present, we don't have time to waste on these people. We need to immediately prepare to deal with the counterattack of the continent's government."
What Mosendra said was indeed correct. So this group of people also acquiesced to Mosendra's actions. The surrounding Dark Knights were originally Mosendra's people, so they directly carried out Mosendra's order and pulled the high-level members of the Dark Church out of the conference room. Among them, there was actually Bishop Xiluode.
"Mosendra, you are leading the Dark Church to a dead end." Before being pulled out, Bishop Xiluode shouted at Mosendra.
"Yes, I might also be wrong." Mosendra nodded, then walked to Xiluode's side and whispered in his ear, "No matter what, I will leave the future matters to you, Xiluode."
"Eh?" Xerrod stared blankly, not understanding what Mosendra meant. However, Mosendra immediately waved his hand and the Knight pulled him away.
Turning his head to look at the people below him, Bishop Mosendra slightly sighed, then said: "I am very happy that you can stay by my side at the most critical moment of the Dark Church. Now, let us fight side by side."
When they heard the news of Pope Rutledge's assassination, everyone on the continent knew that something big was about to happen. However, they didn't expect the development of the plot to be beyond their imagination. Very quickly, everyone received the latest news. The Dark Church immediately elected a new Pope, the 53rd Pope. And the candidate of the new Pope also made them very surprised, it was actually that Mosendra.
And even more surprising things had yet to come. That was because the new Pope, Mosendra, as soon as he took office, announced the abolition of the supervision treaty signed between Pope Rutledge and the continent's government. He very aggressively expressed that the Dark Church would maintain its independence and refuse the supervision of the continent's government. And according to the news that came from an unknown source, the new Pope even arrested the high-level officials of the continent's government.
This clearly meant that the Dark Church and the continent's government had completely broken off. No one had thought that the new Pope would be so radical. Abolishing the jump system was fine, but he actually even arrested the people of the other party. How could the other party not settle the account with him? Everyone felt that the new Pope's action of arresting people was unwise. At least, he shouldn't give others a reason to attack him.
As a result, not only did this new Pope not listen to their opinions, but he also became even more radical. Not long after, Mosendra announced that according to their preliminary investigation, the person who assassinated Pope Rutledge was definitely related to the continent's government. He also called for all the believers of the Dark Church to unite.
Hearing this news, everyone felt that the continent's government would definitely start to take action. Sure enough, not long after, the continent's government also responded. The content was also very simple. Mosendra launched a coup, detained many high-level officials of the Dark Church, elected his own Pope, and also illegally arrested their Inner Cabinet Prime Minister Geert. Therefore, the continent's government directly expressed that they would carry out military measures. To put it simply, they wanted to start a war.
Naturally, regarding the assassination of Pope Rutledge that Mosendra said, the continent's government also responded. The continent's government pulled out a few people and said that they were the assassins who had escaped from the assassination of Pope Rutledge. Because the Dark Church's Domasili City was under martial law, they really couldn't go out, so they fled to Li Huailin's side to seek shelter. And according to their confession, they were sent by Mosendra to assassinate the Pope. And now, Mosendra wanted to kill them to shut their mouths, so they sought shelter with the continent's government.
This was completely putting the blame on others, saying that Mosendra had assassinated the previous Pope in order to become the next Pope. Naturally, no one believed the words of the mainland's government. Everyone could see that it was absolutely impossible for it to be true. These people were randomly found by the mainland's government to frame Mosendra. This was too much of a fake.
Naturally, the irony was that these people were really the assassins who had assassinated Pope Rutledge. Moreover, what they said was completely true. It was indeed Bishop Mosendra who had ordered them to do it. Nevertheless, no one believed it. Even the people on the side of Li Huailin's side only expressed their belief on the surface.
In any case, the continent's government had found a reason to take action against the Dark Church. In short, everyone knew that a war was about to break out. In the end, who would win? The majority of people were naturally optimistic about the continent's government. If the continent's government was really so easy to deal with, then there wouldn't be so many people submitting to their rule. Although the Dark Church claimed to have tens of millions of followers, but didn't Li Huailin also deal with the believers of the Goddess of Harvest? He had done this kind of thing, but he was still fine now. The situation of the Dark Church wasn't the same.
Naturally, the most turbulent place in the entire continent was the Demons. The main believers of the Dark Church were the people of the Demons. So when such a big thing happened to the Dark Church, they would naturally be very excited. Especially when Pope Rutledge was unexpectedly assassinated. In their opinion, the murderer was definitely the continent's government. And now that the new Pope had ascended to the throne, he was very radical in preparing to fight against the continent's government. So they naturally had to support him, so the Demons naturally began to panic.
A large number of believers of the Dark Church expressed that they would support the Dark Church and participate in the rebellion against the continent's government. But how would they support? This was a problem. Because the Dark Church didn't send anyone to contact them. They also didn't know how to organize it. Could it be that they should go to the headquarters of the Dark Church themselves? Nobody knew what to do.
And at this time, the leader arrived. It was none other than the former emperor of the Demons, Baizela. Yes, last time, Li Huailin let him go. Naturally, he wouldn't go back to his home to farm. He had been waiting for an opportunity. And this time, Baizela saw an opportunity. He was originally a believer of the Dark Church. This was known to all the people of the Demons. So, it was reasonable for him to stand up for them.
At this time, Baizela was hiding in the Demons' Laviertel City. This was a border city in the northeast of the Demons. The main reason he was hiding here was because this place was chaotic and complicated. Now, he was still wanted by the current government of the Demons. Although Li Huailin let him go, he didn't cancel the wanted order. And the current government of the Demons was still trying to capture him. Therefore, he was hiding here.
Bayzera wasn't doing very well at the moment. There weren't many people following him anymore. He had suffered great losses in the previous rebellion, and many of those who escaped were uncontactable. Currently, there were only a dozen or so people he could trust. However, he recruited some new soldiers. After all, he still had some influence. Some people were willing to follow him when they heard that it was Baizela. But the number of people added up was only about a hundred.
And hearing the news of the Dark Church, Baizela was simply overjoyed. He hadn't given up. He was looking for an opportunity. And now, the opportunity had come. At this time, if he raised his arm, the believers of the Dark Church would definitely follow him.
So Baizela did this. The effect was … … outstanding. Yes, Baizela appeared in the square of Laviertel City and strongly condemned the government of the continent. After that, he said that all the believers of the Dark Church would follow him and support the new Pope. With just a few simple words, all the dark followers in the city got up. They originally wanted to do this, but they couldn't find a leader. Now that the leader had appeared, and it was the prestigious former Emperor, this was great. Everyone should gather quickly. Zhao Hai looked at Zhao Hai.
With a casual wave of his hand, Baizela gathered 60,000 believers. More than half of the people in Laviertel City were mobilized by him. This also included the majority of the city guards, because they were also believers of the Dark Church. Baizela was overjoyed. He immediately said that he would carry out the next step of his plan. That was to unite the believers of the Dark Church in the surrounding cities. Then, he promised to organize everyone to go to the Holy City of Domasili to support the new Pope.
And then … there was no then. Because at this time, Baizela received a piece of news that made his eyes turn black. The new Pope, Mosendra, who had just taken office a few hours ago, was dead.
