"What? Say that again?" Bezerra roared at the person who came to deliver the news.
"The new Dark Pope, Lord Mosendra, passed away." The messenger lowered his head and said.
"This … this …" Bezerra was stunned, but he immediately said, "Did the continent's government do it? Have they already dispatched their army and occupied the headquarters of the Dark Church? "
"No … it's not like that." The messenger shook his head.
"What? It's not? Then what's going on? "Bezerra immediately asked.
"The continent's government simply hasn't dispatched their army. Lord Mosendra … he died by himself."
"Died by himself?" Bezerra directly gawked.
"Yes, it's a relapse of his old illness. He collapsed while giving a speech and then passed away."
Bezerra was dumbfounded. He was too unlucky. Just when he wanted to rise up, the new Pope died? How could he continue to play now?
"Then what about now? What about the remaining higher-ups of the Dark Church? What did they decide? They will choose a new Pope to continue resisting, right? "Bezerra asked anxiously.
"This … there's no news yet." Bezerra's subordinate lowered his head and said.
"Quickly go and inquire about the news!" Bezerra roared. Currently, he couldn't stop here. He had already pulled in so many people, how could he stop? He could only hope that the Dark Church would immediately send someone to continue resisting Li Huailin and the continent's government.
So what was the situation of the Dark Church? Now, Li Huailin was in the headquarters of the Dark Church. Yes, not long after the new Pope Mosendra died, Li Huailin came here. Moreover, he only brought a few guards. It didn't seem like he came to fight against the Dark Church, but to participate in the funeral.
Welcoming Li Huailin was a group of the remaining higher-ups of the Dark Church as well as a large number of Knights of the Dark Church. Everyone was surprised by the appearance of Li Huailin, but no one knew what to do. The new Pope really died. Now, they had returned to the situation of no one leading them.
Li Huailin walked into the Cathedral of Dark Church as if there was no one else present. When the higher-ups of Dark Church saw Li Huailin walking over, they automatically made way for him. In the middle of the cathedral was Pope Mossendra, who had just fallen not long ago. Mossendra's body was still lying under the statue of the Demon Deity in the middle of the cathedral before it could be disposed of.
Li Huailin walked directly towards Mosendra's corpse. However, at this time, a figure appeared in front of Li Huailin, blocking Li Huailin's path. "What do you want? You murderer! "
Li Huailin raised his head and saw that the person who stopped him was an old man called Winterlace Therok. Yes, Elder Therok. Of course, Li Huailin didn't recognize him, but from his attitude, he could tell that he wasn't on his side. His name was also blood-red.
"What are you waiting for? He is the one who killed Pope Rutledge. Now that the new Pope has just been appointed and suddenly died, it must be related to you. This person is the enemy of our Dark Church. Knights, quickly catch him! "Elder Therok pointed at Li Huailin and shouted.
"Ahem … …" Li Huailin coughed lightly and then directly said, "Come, chop him to death."
Before Elder Therok could react, a dark knight beside him suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed it into Elder Therok's chest. Elder Therok was completely stunned because the person who stabbed him wasn't the guards brought by Li Huailin, but the dark knight standing behind him. He thought that it was one of his people.
"You … … How did you … …" Elder Therok looked at the dark knight who stabbed him to death in confusion. But soon, his vision turned black and he fell down.
"What?" The crowd gasped in shock. What was going on? How did the Dark Knight suddenly kill Elder Therok? Was he trying to apostatize? Did this dark knight also suddenly apostatize? Everyone didn't know what was going on.
Of course, Li Huailin wasn't surprised because the dark knights present were basically Mosendra's people. Mosendra had already told them that after his death, they would directly listen to Li Huailin's orders.
The dark knight who killed Elder Therok didn't say anything and didn't intend to explain to everyone. He directly pulled Elder Therok's corpse with one hand and stood to the side. As for Li Huailin, he directly walked to the podium and looked at Mosendra's corpse. "What a pity. He was indeed a talent, but unfortunately, time doesn't wait for people."
Yes, so far, everything was going according to Mosendra's plan. Even his own death was the same. Li Huailin also sighed. Mosendra was really powerful, but unfortunately, he couldn't stop him.
Taking a deep breath, Li Huailin looked at the nervous members of the Dark Church below the podium. It was clear that this group of people didn't know what to do now. They had all participated in Mosendra's action against Li Huailin. Now, they were really afraid that Li Huailin would directly kill them all. Elder Therok was already a good example. Now, they really regretted listening to Mosendra's words.
"Don't worry." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "I always believed that I don't have any enmity with the Dark Church. It's just that some people misunderstood me, am I right?"
Hearing Li Huailin's words, everyone felt relieved. It was very clear that the opposite party didn't want to kill them. This was great, so someone immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty Continent's emperor, we all think so."
"That's good. I am a good person. I don't like fighting and killing. "Li Huailin said with a smile.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the corpse of Elder Therok that was being dragged away. His ability to lie through his teeth was too exaggerated.
"Right, let's first release the people that Mosendra captured. Everyone, hold a meeting and discuss what to do next. Don't you think so? "Li Huailin said.
Naturally, everyone agreed. Therefore, the higher-ups of the Dark Church who had been captured by Mossendra were released very quickly. Naturally, Geert was also released. Geert was also released.
"Your Majesty." Geert immediately returned to Li Huailin's side. It was very clear that there was no problem with Geert. It was originally planned, so Mosendra naturally wouldn't do anything to Geert. However, Li Huailin soon heard a bad news from Geert.
"Lugpu is dead?" Li Huailin was a bit surprised.
"Yes, it should be Mosendra's subordinates who did it." Geert nodded.
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. "So that's how it is."
Almost instantly, Li Huailin understood Mosendra's intention. The reason why Mosendra got rid of Loganpu was very simple. Now that Dark Church had three black-robed bishops, Mosendra and Loganpu were dead, the next Pope only had one choice, and that was Bishop Xiluode. The reason why Mosendra killed Lugpu was to tell Li Huailin to let Xerrod succeed as the next Pope.
Xerrod was obviously a devout believer of the Dark Church. He wasn't very loyal to Li Huailin. The reason why he directly sided with Li Huailin was to preserve the Dark Church. But Lugpu was different. This guy was willing to do anything for himself. Therefore, Mosendra's final move was to preserve a somewhat reliable new Pope for the Dark Church, although he also knew that this Pope would be controlled by Li Huailin.
Of course, Mosendra didn't tell this to Li Huailin before, but Li Huailin thought for a bit and just smiled, that's all. Because … he didn't really care about who the position of Pope would be. Previously, it was said that Li Huailin only cared about the transmission array over there, that's all. The reason why he agreed to carry out Mosendra's plan before wasn't to control the Dark Church, but rather because Mosendra's plan could attract everyone's attention to the Dark Church. Finally, he could casually choose between Lugpu and Xerrod. But now that he had no choice, Xerrod was Xerrod, it didn't matter.
According to the current situation, Li Huailin was already quite satisfied. Who else would care about Li Huailin's embassy area now? Everyone's attention was now on this side. Therefore, the reason why Li Huailin did this was to cover up for the other side, and the effect was very good.
"Well, in short, everyone should understand now. Pope Rutledge really wasn't murdered by us, the mastermind was Mosendra. Now that the criminal has been executed, this matter should be over, right?" Li Huailin looked at everyone and said. Naturally, although he said so, Li Huailin also knew that everyone wouldn't believe that Mosendra was the real murderer, although he was indeed the murderer. Mosendra's goal had actually been achieved.
Naturally, no one dared to say anything at this time, and directly nodded.
"Then, Bishop Xerrod should be the new Pope, right?" Li Huailin said. "Is there anyone who objects?"
Naturally, no one objected. Now, only Bishop Xerrod was left, so what was there to object?
"Very well, I hope that the Dark Church can maintain a good relationship with our continent's government in the future. As for this misunderstanding, let it end as soon as possible. Pope Xerrod, please advise me in the future." After saying that, Li Huailin directly shook hands with Bishop Xerrod.
The war didn't start. This news immediately spread throughout the continent. No one had thought that the final result would be like this. It was too dramatic. Things really changed too fast, and people simply couldn't keep up. And after receiving the news, the former Emperor of the Demons, Baizela, directly vomited blood and fell to the ground.
