312 Blooming Head (2/2)

It was as if there was a thunderclap. Peter was dumbstruck and his heart was jumping crazily.

The Archbishop and Holy Woman have defected? H-How could this possible? There must be a mistake!

Looking around him, the people on the square were also similarly in doubt, their eyes were filled with shock.

Faceless One begrudgingly gave further explanation, taking his time to say, ”The defection of the two was influenced by the Dragon City Master Bedivere. Filled with ambition, Bedivere attempted to use the top to bottom infiltration to disintegrate the influence of Holy Light in Dragon City. Fortunately, the Holy One in Holy City was so discerning that he exposed his plot ahead of time. Now that the two traitors have defected, we must bravely pursue the enemy, nailing the traitors and the manipulator behind the scene Bedivere on the stake. Well, in short, we must launch a war against Dragon City.”

Launch a war against Dragon City? Peter’s heart was tightened. These words were extremely far away from the minds of Dragon City priests. Although everyone knew that Dragon City and the church might end up in a war, everyone felt that they at least would not see that day!

”Hm, this war thing must start as soon as possible. And since all the staffs are basically here, I think we should start now. We will hit them while they are still unprepared.”

Who in the end was caught unprepared here?

”But, if there’s no proper command, we would just be like a mob. Therefore, I give you your commanders.” Faceless One lifted his hand and in front of the Cathedral square immediately appeared over a hundred bright golden figures.

Peter looked up and immediately recognized these golden figures.

”Bright Archons!”

They were puppets of Holy Light, designed to crusade against heresy. They had no independent thought but was unparalleled in the war. These Bright Archons could establish a mental link with dozens of priests through their common faith to the Holy Light, and then give each of them a precise command, which made them able to skillfully grasp every detail of the battlefield; they were a natural war machine.

These Bright Archons were very powerful in the large-scale war, a rare super-class basic commander. Holy Light Religion has always regarded them as the trump card and would only be deployed in order to deal with unusually stubborn opponents. Now, unexpectedly, there were more than a hundred of them! Such a scale was not less than a holy war!

”Let loose of your spirit, I have assigned your respective commanders. At the appointed time, you just need to do according to the order. With this, dealing with the heresy is very simple.”

The priests on the square were in a state of disbelief. There was so much change in a short time this morning that it overwhelmed them. They also felt that this Faceless One was too vigorous and resolute...

Seeing that nobody spoke about the consequences of the war, Peter who was the nearest to the podium had to muster up the courage to say, ”Your Grace Chief Inquisitor, launching a holy war is a very serious affair and must be cautiously handled.”

Faceless One said, ”Are you questioning me for carelessly handling the affair?”

”I do not dare. It was just that, this is all too sudden for us.”

”As the current manager of Dragon City parish, with the authority from the Holy City, I do not need to solicit anyone’s opinion in regard to launching a holy war. As for being too sudden…” Faceless One turned around. ”If not too sudden, don’t tell me I should let a spy like you to tip them off in advance?”

Boom!

Facing that pale face, Peter felt that it was impossible for him to hide all the secrets in his heart.

Indeed, he was the mole placed in the church by the Dragon City. In the decades of dealing with each other, Dragon City and Holy Light Religion have infiltrated each other to the very high level. Even he, as the trusted subordinate of the Archbishop, was not the highest. Since the two forces didn’t have any big frictions for decades, these moles didn’t have enough merit. They didn’t need to come forward to do any big moves. But just do things in day to day operation that if accumulated could change things dramatically. Therefore their existence was actually very hidden. For example, even the Archbishop didn’t see that he actually has ties with the Dragon City.

However, now his identity has been laid bare by this foreign Chief Inquisitor.

Boundless fear fell from the sky and enveloped his mind.

”Mm, in short, since we’re going to go to war, we must first clean up the traitors.”

Faceless One waved his hand, and suddenly, Peter felt his head hot. And then, with a crisp popping sound, he didn’t know anything anymore.

At the same time, on the square, there were similar hundreds of blooming heads.
