Riley's eyes flickered, but he did not ask.
Hawkeye glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "You go and pick him up first, I will send five knight leaders to assist you. This is the information on 'Joseph', don't make a mistake."
Riley took it, glanced at it, and nodded, "Got it."
After Riley left, Hawkeye immediately called his secretary, and asked her to write several secret letters, and send them to various places as fast as possible.
"Military, pitiful …" Hawkeye put away the secret letters, and burned them on a candle, sighing softly.
At the foot of Mount Wutuo, Richelieu was wearing the holy armor of the past, sitting on his Holy Sun Dragon Horse majestically. In the large square in front of him, there were constantly Knights of Light gathering, densely packed, occupying the entire square. There were about tens of thousands of people, almost more than 60% of the troops of the Vatican stationed in the business district!
Although the number of Knights of the Vatican could not be compared to the number of soldiers of the army, but in terms of quality, they were far superior.
"Your Majesty!" A burly middle-aged man riding on a three-meter-tall horse galloped over from afar. A three-meter-long sword hung on the side of his horse's abdomen. It was nearly half a meter wide. It was extremely huge.
Richelieu looked at the man, and waited until he came close before saying, "Plo, don't call me Your Majesty anymore. If it wasn't for the fact that this matter is too troublesome, I was prepared to find a field to live a simple life."
Plo's bell-like eyes stared, bright and full of expression, and said, "In my heart, you will always be my Majesty, why did you let that brat … that person be the Pope, is it really like what they said, that you are unwell?"
"I'm old, it's time to step aside." Richelieu shook his head slightly, "Let's not talk about this, this time we will lead the team to arrest Bryson, are you ready?"
"Are we really going to break off relations with the military?" Plo's face showed some seriousness. Although he looked rough, it did not mean that he was brainless.
Richelieu glanced at him and said, "Watch your words. We uphold the belief of punishing evil and eradicating evil. Bryson has colluded with the dark cultists, and the evidence is conclusive. No matter who he is, he must pay the price for his actions. This is the meaning of our existence!"
Plo immediately said solemnly, "Your subordinate misspoke, you are right!"
"Let's go!" Richelieu pulled the reins of his horse and said, "Let the main force follow behind. You will follow me and lead the light cavalry to the military base first. We will treat them politely. If the military base insists on protecting Bryson, then we will consider using forceful methods."
"I got it." Pu Luo nodded.
The news of the movement of the Church's army spread through the streets. Countless commoners and nobles along the way all heard of this news. Seeing the formation, they instantly knew that the Church was serious this time.
The news quickly spread to the conference room of the military headquarters. The people who hadn't left the meeting heard the news and immediately fell into silence.
"Richelieu and the Great Light King, Pulo, are actually going into battle personally? Are they going to start a war with us?! "
"The Light Curia has come so quickly. They're trying to catch us off guard!"
"It seems that they have also expected that this matter will not go as they wish!"
"Damn it, General Rolan has just set off!"
Lorenzo glanced at the furious generals and turned to look at Bryson. He knew that this was not the time for internal strife. Although the three commanders usually fought each other secretly, if they were to fight internally this time, it would only allow the Church to succeed. In the end, even if there was one less commander, it would still cause the military base to lose all its face. It would also cause him, who was also a commander, to lose face.
"Delay them first and wait for Rolan's reply." Lorenzo immediately ordered, "Call back the troops of the City Defense Department and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!" A five-star general who was the head of the City Defense Department immediately stood up to receive the order.
A moment later, Richelieu and Pulo led a group of light cavalry to the front of the military headquarters. The back of the compound was not just a manor, but a vast green field. It contained the military camp of the military base, the residence of the general, as well as the training grounds and many other places. It was an important area of the military base, and also a restricted area for civilians!
Richelieu stopped his horse and looked at a guard who trotted over to the front of the compound. The guard had already received the news from above. Seeing the majestic Richelieu and Pulo sitting on the tall horses, his heart was nervous and in awe. Although he did not believe in the Light Curia, his wife was very religious, including his mother and father. Under the atmosphere of the family's religious beliefs, he was more or less infected. At this moment, facing the two supreme figures of the Curia, he only felt as if there were two mountains on his head and shoulders, making him unconsciously bend down and lower his head.
"Boy, go call someone who can take charge." Pulo shouted before the guard could speak.
The guard was shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I'll go now, please, please wait a moment." After saying that, he did not care about being rude and hurriedly turned around and ran.
After a moment, Lorenzo came out on horseback with several generals. He saw Richelieu and Pulo stopped at the gate. There were dozens of light cavalry behind them.
Lorenzo's eyes moved slightly. He gently pressed on the horse's back and the mount immediately slowed down. He slowly walked towards Richelieu and smiled: "Mr. Richelieu, Mr. Pulo, the people below don't know any better. Please come in with me."
With a smile on his face, Richelieu said, "They say that soldiers are straightforward. Commander, please don't beat around the bush with us. I'm sure you know why we're here. Give us a straightforward answer. Are you going to hand him over or bail him out?"
Lorenzo's smile slowly disappeared as he saw Richelieu being so direct. He looked at him: "Do you have any evidence that Commander Bryson is colluding with the dark believers? There's something fishy about this matter. I think it's better to investigate and then arrest the culprit. After all, Bryson is the commander of our military region. How will we maintain the security of the outer wall if he's arrested by you? "
"Naturally we have evidence." Richelieu said: "If you don't believe me then please let Commander Bryson come out to meet us."
Lorenzo slightly frowned: "Commander Bryson is performing official duties outside. I can help you call him back but it will take some time. How about you come in with me to rest?"
Richelieu narrowed his eyes: "No need. We will wait here."
Lorenzo didn't say much as he saw that Dudian didn't eat soft words. He politely said a few words and then rode back.
"That old bastard Richelieu. He doesn't listen to good words. Does he really think that the military region is afraid of him?" One of the generals said in an angry tone as they entered the courtyard.
Although he deliberately restrained his voice but it wasn't difficult to hear his words since they weren't far from the courtyard.
Lorenzo looked at him and knew that he was deliberately saying this for Richelieu to hear. He said: "Don't be rude. When the matter is investigated, they will give Commander Bryson justice." Although he was reprimanding the general, there was no anger on his face.
"Little bastard!" There was a trace of anger in Pulo's eyes as he heard the voices coming from the back of the courtyard. He tightened his grip on the rope.
Richelieu indifferently said: "Don't be angry. The dog bit you so you can't bite the dog back."
Pulo slightly gritted his teeth. He knew that the other party was deliberately provoking them. The military region would take the opportunity to cover up Bryson's matter.
Richelieu heard the sound of hooves of Lorenzo and others going away. He turned to Pulo: "Don't worry. Since they want to delay then let them do it. The longer they delay the better it is for us."
"Good for us?" Pulo was puzzled.
