Chapter 615 Shaken Faith

The Holy City of Hermes, Basilica Tower. ?

The hurried footsteps of the guards broke the tranquility of the ring hall, and the sound of iron boots falling on the marble floor was crisp and loud. Teflon put down the breakfast in his hand with a little dissatisfaction, and looked at the panic-stricken visitor, "What's the matter?" ?

"Your Excellency, something happened to Cold Wind Ridge," the guard whispered in his ear, "Master Solly Dahl seems to have suffered a serious injury over there." Then he told what he had heard as quickly as possible.

"What did you say!" Teflon was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears. "More than half of the advance army was lost, and Soli was seriously injured?" The old bishop grabbed the guards, "Where is he now?"

"Sent to the poorhouse."

"Where are the God's Punishment Army?"

"I was ordered to wait in place, and now they are all gathered in the church hall."

"Immediately notify His Majesty the Pope and His Majesty El, and report the matter to them. In addition, the personnel who are going on this expedition will be concentrated and guarded, the door of the church will be closed, and other believers will be temporarily prohibited from entering and leaving!" He didn't even bother to eat breakfast, " I'm going to the poorhouse right now."

"Yes, sir!"

how so?

Teflon could only feel his heart pounding. There were 1,300 people in the team, and 300 of them were God's 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 a seasoned judge, one of Mayne's most powerful subordinates, even if he encountered a devil or a wasteland beast, he wouldn't lose so many people!

Despite the turmoil in his heart, the old bishop still knew very well that the most important thing right now was to block the news to prevent his faith from being shaken, and the second thing was to find out what happened to Solly Dahl in Cold Wind Ridge as soon as possible!

When he arrived at the asylum, El had already arrived - obviously the other party had another channel to obtain information. The two looked at each other and walked into Solly's medical room with sinking faces.

I saw a pure man applying medicine to the injured archbishop—one of his arms was missing, and the wound was tightly bound with cotton cloth. Seeing the other two archbishops, Solly's confused eyes suddenly became focused, and he struggled to think. to sit up.

"You go down first." Teflon helped the Pure Man up after letting him go. "How's the injury?"

"I want to see Your Majesty Mayne!" Sully growled, "Take me to the Privy Council quickly!"

"Tell us what happened first," El said coldly, "and then we'll consider whether you should be sent to see the Pope, or thrown into the dungeon, waiting to be tried by the arbitral tribunal."

"Bastard, now is not the time to bicker," he said through gritted teeth. "Coldwind Ridge is a trap. Roland Wimbledon's firearms are much more terrifying than Timothy's. I must let Your Majesty know—"

"I don't want to be kept in the dark and have to wipe your ass, Mr. Solly Dale!" El's voice suddenly rose a bit, "Do you know how embarrassed I was when I came back? When I passed the city gate , everyone has seen the incomplete and devastated advance army! Someone in the holy city has already inquired about the news. If I hadn't asked the arbitration tribunal to arrest a few troublemakers, this damn rumor would probably cause the whole city to rage tomorrow. !" She grabbed the archbishop by the collar, "You should understand how serious this is!"

Teflon knew that El was right. The more than 100 God's Punishment Army was almost equivalent to the total loss of the church in the past two years, and the enemy was just a small town in the mountains. This was definitely a shame to the church.

What's more deadly is that once the news spreads, the faith of believers will suffer a heavy blow.

Ever since God's Punishment Army was dispatched to fight against evil beasts, this invincible warrior has been rumored to be invincible. The facts seem to be the same. Not even the terrifying and ferocious giant evil beasts are the opponents of the God's Punishment Army. What kind of enemy can defeat them?

Just when he was about to say a few words of persuasion, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

"I hope I'm not late," White Witch Zero walked in. "His Holiness wants to see you and asks you not to reveal the details of the battle. Can you still walk?"

"Master Zero, we can't—" El protested.

Zero interrupted her, "Don't worry, the Pope is only worried that the secrets of the God's Punishment Army might be leaked, and I will repeat it to you in full after he finishes asking about it."

"What secret?"

"Forgive me for having nothing to say," Zero smiled, "because I don't know either."

"I... can go," Solly struggled to get out of bed, and fell to the ground just after taking two steps.

"Don't be brave," the Pure One snapped his fingers, and immediately two guards in blue cloaks walked in outside the door and lifted him up, "When you get to the secret area, you can move around freely in a wheelchair gone."

"Damn bitch," El spat hard after Solly and Zero left, and walked out of the medical room without looking back.

Teflon looked at the back of the far away Pure One with a sinking face, and did not speak for a long time.

...

Following the stone steps into the deep cavity at the bottom of the church, Solly's expression also became agitated. Obviously, it was the first time for him to come to the core area of ​​the church, and even his breathing became short of breath.

"The God's Punishment Army suffered heavy losses this time. How do you plan to explain it to Lord Mayne?" After changing into a wheelchair, Zero personally pushed him to the forbidden area.

"This failure was indeed due to my carelessness. I will accept any punishment." The Archbishop hesitated, "And, I... want to apply to Your Majesty to become a God's Punishment Warrior."

"Are you sure? Don't leave the great bishop's position, and become a God's Punishment Army like a puppet?"

"They are not puppets!" Soli couldn't help arguing, "Every God's Punishment Warrior is a brave and determined fighter, and it is because of this that he will dedicate his life to fight for the glory of the church! But I am disappointed It also brought immeasurable losses to the church. The best way to make up for it is to personally invest in it and make up for the mistakes I made!"

"Really?" Zero shrugged, "But I don't think the Pope will agree to your application."

"I will try my best to convince him, I believe Lord Mayne will definitely..."

"It's not that reason," she said shaking her head, "The blood of witches is needed to transform God's Punishment Army, and every witch is hard-won. 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 witch blood for a defective product?"

"What did you say? Wait...stop!"

Zero pushed the wheelchair through the long corridor and stopped at the end of the mechanism area.

"Any questions?"

"The transformation ceremony of the God's Punishment Army is a secret that can only be mastered by the Pope. How do you know what the ceremony requires?" Soli's eyes widened. "It is absolutely impossible for Lord Mayne to tell you such a thing!"

"You're right, he is indeed impossible." After the guard opened the cage railing, Zero pushed him into the cage calmly, "And I don't need him to tell, because... I am the Pope ah."

"You said - what?" Solly turned his head in disbelief, but saw a dim light rushing towards him. 8
