The guard's hurried footsteps broke the silence of the ring hall, the sound of iron boots falling on the marble floor was crisp and loud, and Teflon put down the breakfast in his hand with a little dissatisfaction, and looked at the comer with a panicked expression, "Is there something wrong?"
"Your Excellency, something has happened to the Coldwind Ridge," the guard whispered in his ear, "Lord Soli Dahl seems to have suffered a heavy blow over there. Then he recounted what he had heard as quickly as he could.
"What are you talking about!" Teflon was too surprised to believe his ears, "more than half of the advance army is lost, and Solley is seriously wounded?" the old bishop grabbed the guard, "Where is he now?"
"It has been sent to an almshouse. ”
"What about the Divine Punishers?"
"The order to wait in place is now gathered in the church hall. ”
"Immediately inform His Holiness the Pope and Lord El, report the matter to them, and put the men on this expedition under the watchful eye of the people, close the doors of the church, and temporarily prohibit the rest of the congregation from entering!" he did not even bother to eat breakfast, "I will go to the almshouse at once." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
How so?
Teflon only felt his heart pounding, the team of 1,300 people, and 300 people were Divine Punishment Warriors, it stands to reason that there would be no problem in dealing with Cold Wind Ridge. Before he was promoted to bishop, Solly was also the battle-hardened presiding judge, and one of Mayne's most powerful subordinates, even if he encountered the devil or the wasteland, he would not lose so many people!
Despite the turmoil in his heart, the old bishop still knew very well that the most important thing at the moment was to block the news to avoid shaking his faith, and the second was to find out what happened to Soli Dahl in the Coldwind Ridge as soon as possible!
When he arrived at the almshouse, El had already arrived - apparently the other party had another way to get information, and the two looked at each other and walked into Soli's medical room with a sinking face.
Seeing a pure man medicination on the wounded archbishop—one of his arms was missing, the wound was tightly bandaged with cotton cloth, and at the sight of the other two archbishops, Soli's confused eyes suddenly became focused, and he struggled to sit up.
"You go down first," Teflon helped the Pure One to his feet as he let him go, "How's the injury?"
"I want to see Her Majesty Mayne!" soured Soley, "take me to the Privy Council!"
"Tell us what happened," El said coldly, "and then we'll consider whether you should send you to the Pope, or throw you into a dungeon and wait for the tribunal to judge." ”
"Bastard, now is not the time to fight," he said through gritted teeth, "Coldwind Ridge is a trap, Roland Wimbledon has a firearm far more terrible than Tifeco's, and I must let His Majesty know—"
"I don't want to be kept in the dark and wipe your ass, Mr. Solly Dahl!" El's voice rose a little, "Do you know how embarrassed you are to come back?
Teflon knew that El was right, more than a hundred divine punishment troops were almost equivalent to the total losses of the church in the past two years, and the enemy was only a small town in the mountains, which was definitely a shame for the church.
Even more fatal, once the news spreads, the faith of the believers will be dealt a heavy blow.
Ever since the Divine Punishment Army was dispatched to fight against the evil beasts, there have been rumors of the invincibility of this invincible samurai. In fact, it seems that even the terrifying and ferocious giant beasts are no match for the Divine Punishment Army, what kind of enemy can defeat them?
Just as he was about to persuade him, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
"I hope I'm not too late," the white-haired witch Jero walked in, "His Holiness the Pope wants to see you and asks you not to reveal the details of the battle for the time being, can you still walk on your own?"
"Lord Jero, we can't—" El protested.
Jieluo interrupted her, "Don't worry, the Pope is just worried that the secrets of the Divine Punishment Army may be revealed, and I will repeat it to you in full when he finishes asking about it." ”
"What's the secret?"
"I have no comment," Gerlo smiled, "because I don't know either." ”
"I ...... You can go," Soli struggled to roll over and get out of bed, and fell to the ground after taking two steps.
"Don't be pushy," the Pure One snapped his fingers, and two blue-cloaked guards walked through the door and lifted him up, "Once you're in the Privy Zone, you'll be able to move freely in a wheelchair." ”
"Damn bitch," it wasn't until Solly and Jero left that El spat hard and walked out of the infirmary without looking back.
Teflon looked at the back of the Pure One in the distance, and did not speak for a long time.
......
As he walked down the stone steps into the deep cavity of the church, Solley's expression became excited, it was obvious that this was the first time he had come to the core of the church, and he was even breathing a little shorter.
"How are you going to explain to Lord Mayne this time?" After changing into a wheelchair, Jieluo personally pushed him to the forbidden ground.
"This failure is indeed the result of my carelessness, and I accept any punishment. The archbishop hesitated, "And, I ...... I want to apply to His Majesty to become a Divine Punishment Samurai. ”
"Are you sure? Do you want to be a puppet-like punisher of God with the position of a good bishop?"
"They're not puppets!" Solley couldn't help but argue, "Every Divine Punishment Samurai is a brave and determined warrior, and because of this, they will dedicate their lives to fighting for the glory of the Church! The best way to make amends is to put in the work and make up for the mistakes I made!"
"Really?" said Gerloid, shrugging, "but I don't think the Pope will grant your request." ”
"I'll try to convince him, I'm sure Mistress Mayne will ......"
"That's not the reason," she shook her head, "The Transformation Divine Punishment Army needs the blood of witches, and every witch is hard-won, and now that you have lost your arm, even if you successfully transform, your combat ability will be greatly reduced...... You say, how could the Pope waste a witch's blood for a defective product?"
"What did you say? Wait...... Stop!"
Jero pushed her wheelchair through the long corridor and paused at the end of the agency area.
"Any questions?"
"The Transformation Ritual of the Divine Punishment is a secret that only His Holiness can grasp, how do you know what the ritual entails?" Solley's eyes widened, "There's no way Lord Mayne would tell you about such a thing!"
"You're right, he really can't," Jie Luo pushed him into the cage unhurriedly as the guards opened the cage railing, "and I don't need him to tell me, because ...... I'm the Pope. ”
"Y-what?" Solley looked back in disbelief, only to see a ghostly light rushing towards him.
