Chapter 552 (1/2)
The sound of the horse's hooves shaking on the mountain road was soon noticed.
The crowd on the mountain road was first chaotic in the rear. Driven by these knights, some fell into the weeds on the side of the mountain road, and some kept retreating and shrinking. The scene of shouting suddenly became much quieter.
After all, in the face of a sharp sword and gun point, people can quickly calm down.
This group of knights encircled from both sides of the mountain road, drove and opened the way, and finally arrived at the main gate of Shijian palace, surrounded the crowd like words.
”Silence
”Silence
With the constant drinking of these knights, the crowd in the field finally calmed down.
”Chief Otis“
”Does he do justice for us“
They whispered, some thought that Otis was the Party of justice and would uphold justice for them, others didn't believe in him, and more people stood in the same place dubiously and separated slowly with the entrance of the man in heavy armor.
Otis, with a dozen or so elites, walked slowly to the center of the crowd.
”Be quiet, everyone.”
”I know people are angry and uncomfortable.”
”But such behavior has destroyed the order of the holy mountain and will not bring good results.”
He appeased the angry crowd, but it didn't work.
”How can we trust you? Can you get justice for us, sybis?” Cried an extreme clergyman.
Otis looked at the hysterical priest with his neck and face, and said in a calm voice, ”you believe me and the church. This will be an account for you.”
As the guardian of church order, Otis could not allow the destruction of order.
He went on and said as he walked.
”Ten swords palace is the law and law enforcement agency in the church, which should solve everyone's problems. This is an important part of the order in the church. As the head of the order of the holy spear knights, I have an unshirkable responsibility for maintaining the stability of the church.”
With his words, these people gradually settle down and look at the mighty and tall knight with the eyes of hope.
In this way, Otis comforted the crowd all the way, and then came to the ten sword palace.
The guard of the golden armour still didn't get out of the way.
It's not surprising to see this scene, and what he needs is this opportunity.
When the public opinion is turbulent, to be its representative and put pressure on the ten sword palace, if the ten sword palace still does not respond at this time, it is tantamount to blatantly violating the order and rules of the church.
However, if the ten swords palace responds, whether it agrees to the wishes of the people or explains and shirks its responsibilities, it will become a stepping stone for the rise of Otis, which will naturally lead to a decline in momentum and prestige, and will inevitably lose in the future papal election.
After the end of this incident, Otis will be famous in the church and become a hero in the hearts of many low-level monks.
If only... Things really went as he expected.
The gate of Shijian palace opened with a creak, and an archbishop in a white robe in Phnom Penh walked out slowly with the support of people around him.
”Sibes!”
