Assassinate the Pope?
Everyone was stunned.
"Oh no!" Saint Lorenza suddenly came to a realization, and his face became extremely ugly. "Damn the Vatican. Their means are so despicable. We made a mistake. We shouldn't have had a glimmer of hope and let Loraine find them to reconcile."
Hearing his words, the others gradually came to their senses and immediately realized the insidiousness of this matter. Obviously, Loraine was not stupid enough to assassinate the Pope. Instead, she was used by the Pope. In this way, the already disadvantageous situation of the military region became even more passive.
"Treacherous!"
"How dare you use the messenger you sent!"
Everyone was furious.
At this moment, another major ran in from outside and hurriedly said, "Commander, generals, Richelieu and the Great Light King have led the Holy Knight Army stationed behind to attack!"
"What?!" Saint Lorenza and Bryson suddenly stood up, their faces full of shock.
The other generals were also stunned. Wasn't the pace of things too fast?
"They are actually preparing to attack? Are they crazy?! " Saint Lorenza was extremely shocked and angry, but more than that, he did not understand. "Even if Loraine assassinated the Pope, it is only a matter of a subordinate. How dare they attack our military region? Aren't they afraid of being criticized?! "
The major was sweating profusely and hurriedly said, "Reporting to Commander, they did not attack because of the assassination attempt on the Pope. Instead, it was because a senior colonel stationed outside the compound had falsely passed on your orders and shot arrows at Richelieu and the others who were waiting outside the compound. That was why they were angered."
"What?!" Saint Lorenza was stunned again.
The other generals were also dumbfounded.
"Damn idiots, they actually, actually …" Saint Lorenza's body trembled with anger. He could barely tolerate the assassination of the Pope, but the fact that his subordinate had rashly attacked Richelieu and provoked a war was really intolerable. The significance of this matter was far more terrible than the assassination of the Pope, especially at this critical moment, it was simply a disaster!
"What is the situation outside now?" Bryson hurriedly asked.
The major hurriedly said, "The senior colonel who falsely passed the military order has been arrested by Major General Moss, but Richelieu and the Great Light King have led the Holy Knight Army to attack us. Our defense has been breached, and it is estimated that they will attack here soon."
Hearing this, everyone only felt a buzzing in their heads, a feeling of dizziness. The change of the situation was so unexpected that they could not keep up with it.
It must be known that in a direct confrontation, the military was not afraid of the Radiant Church at all. But at this moment, the soldiers stationed at the military headquarters were not in combat mode. First of all, they didn't expect that the Radiant Church would dare to attack them without warning. Second of all, the soldiers were scattered in various barracks, but these barracks were not in the military headquarters, but in other districts.
This distribution was mainly to facilitate the support of the soldiers in the war.
Even though they had already gathered the troops from these districts, it would take time for the army to move forward, and the Church's attacks were too quick. The situation instantly went out of control!
"How many troops do we have?" Saint Lorenza came to his senses and immediately asked the generals. Now that things had come to this, he knew that there was no point in pursuing the matter of the senior colonel. The Holy Church now had sufficient reason to attack, and the attack was already in front of them. The only thing they should do now was to defend and defeat the Holy Church. As for the rest, they could only wait for the war to end and then use other ways to modify it.
"Reporting to the commander, the first legion is on standby. The second legion's first division, second division, and fifth division are on standby!" A burly general with a five-star epaulette immediately said.
The other generals looked dignified, knowing that the war had finally begun. Although in name, they were at a disadvantage, in terms of war, they had a great advantage. It would not be difficult to take down the Holy Church.
"All troops, immediately move out, and block the Holy Knights!" Saint Lorenza immediately said.
Next to him, Bryson's face was gloomy. "Richelieu and the Great Light King are a bit tricky. I will go personally. Damn the Holy Church, it has been too long since they made a move. Do they really think that our military region is a pushover?" With that, he got up and strode away.
A few generals in charge of the divisions immediately stood up and followed behind him.
Saint Lorenza did not stop them. After all the generals had left, he said to the remaining generals and staff officers, "The Holy Church has come prepared this time. From the current situation, it seems that all of this is a conspiracy of the Holy Church. The excuse for attacking us is too well-prepared. They must have planned this for a long time. This attack will not be so simple. Although Richelieu is the Pope, before he became the Pope, he was the number one person in the Holy Church. His power is unparalleled. Now that he is working together with the Great Light King, relying on numbers alone may not be effective. Does anyone have any plans?"
"Lord Commander, in my opinion, one of them will definitely lead a dagger team to break out of the encirclement and attack our headquarters. Otherwise, they will not be able to compete with us with just their military strength!" An old staff officer with small eyes said, "We can set up an ambush in advance. Outside our headquarters, we can send a poisonous vanguard team to defend. Even if Richelieu can break through the defense of the vanguard team, he will be seriously injured and will not be a threat."
"Lord Commander, I think we should let 'Ghost Dragon' kill Richelieu on the spot and then counterattack the Holy Church." Another staff officer who was about 60 years old said in a cold voice: "Now that the Holy Church has won the hearts of the people, they will attack us in the name of judging the dark believers. If we lose then we will have nothing. The military will be reduced to a puppet of the Holy Church like the 'Temple of Elements'. We can only completely destroy the Holy Church. Although the reputation of the Holy Church is not good but power can suppress all rebellious voices.
"I agree." Another one said.
Saint Lorenza frowned as he listened to their words: "Ghost Dragon is violent and we can't completely control him. If he takes the opportunity to run away …"
"Lord Commander." The old staff officer from before said, "If we let Ghost Dragon take action, we can promise him that as long as he helps us destroy the Vatican, we will grant him freedom!"
Saint Lorenza looked at him and pondered for a moment: "Immediately send someone to find Ghost Dragon and ask if he agrees."
"Yes." A general immediately ordered the young captain who was waiting outside the conference hall.
"Commander, should we ask for reinforcements from the inner wall?" Another staff officer said in a worried tone: "It is strange that the Holy Church handed over the position of Pope and sent troops to us. Don't you think it is a bit strange? If all of this is controlled by the forces of the Holy Church in the inner wall then I'm afraid that there are masters of the inner wall mixed in with the knights of the Church. If that is the case then even if we let Ghost Dragon …"
Everyone's face changed as they heard his words.
