The Second Coming of the Myth: I have obtained the blood of the Candle Dragon

Chapter 159 Papal Allegiance
"A heretic who believes in light says this in front of the Pope of the Eternal Night Church. Aren't you afraid that I will execute you on the spot?"

Joan looked at Su Lin expressionlessly. The anger in her body seemed to have disappeared, and she was just calm.

"heresy?"

Su Lin smiled and said, "My beloved His Majesty the Pope, you and I don't need to use these words between us, right? We all know that the so-called darkness is sacred and eternal night is supreme, these are just remarks made by the rulers to fool the people. That’s all.”

He walked on the stage like a performer, with exaggerated body movements and open arms as if embracing the sky. "God? There is no such thing in this world. It is never God who can save the world, but mankind itself, you and me." Such people."

He turned to look at Joan of Arc, "And you know better than anyone else in your heart that God does not exist. If God really does exist, how could the Eternal Night Church develop to this point?"

He walked into Joan of Arc, and with Joan of Arc's frightened and angry eyes, he leaned close to her body, lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "Stop lying, you are the biggest heretic."

Joan of Arc took two steps back, shook her sleeves, and the powerful energy forced Su Lin back, "How reckless!"

Su Lin shrugged, "Whether it's light or dark, whichever doctrine can bring the greatest benefits to people will be the one people will believe in. Wake up, the era of ruling people with fear is coming to an end. Can you hold your head high?" Live in the light, no one wants to endure fear in the dark."

Joan's expression was gloomy. She wanted to kill this daring man, but also wanted to refute his impudent views.

But she found that what the other party said was right. She had also investigated the Nim Country. The citizens of the Nim Country were living in the light, and they lived happily, and they did not suffer from strange intrusions.

Although the education she had received since childhood and her belief in Eternal Night told her that the man in front of her was an evil heretic, she knew in her heart that no one did not long for light.

Even the big shots who hold power within the Eternal Night Church will light a bonfire in private, read a book and sip a glass of wine in the warm light.

Rather than enjoying the dark night, mortals are afraid of weirdness. As Su Lin said, they are just ruling the masses with fear.

The benefit that the Eternal Night Church can give to its believers is to protect people, and to protect people in the dark night.

It is precisely because people are afraid of weirdness that they succumb to the Eternal Night Church, but what if they can be protected from weirdness in the light?
Joan of Arc didn't dare to think about it, but the Kingdom of Nim seemed to have given the answer. The teachings of the Church of Eternal Night were simply untenable in the Church of Light.

When the two ideals collide on the big stage of the masses, the Eternal Night Church will be completely defeated.

They had hoped to crush the Light Cult before it rose, but the greed of the theocratic families gave Su Lin a protective umbrella, and now the situation is out of control.

If the Nim Kingdom launches a foreign war, the people of the lands it captures will be quickly brainwashed.

And once the people accept the ideas of the Church of Light, they can never go back.

People can endure darkness if they have never seen the light.

What really shocked and angered her was that what Su Lin said in her ear hurt her, because as the pope of the Eternal Night Church, she really didn't believe in God!

As Su Lin said, if there really is a God of Eternal Night in this world, how could the Eternal Night Church be so corrupt?
Shouldn’t the God of Eternal Night be loving and equal?

But why sit back and watch 50 billion believers suffer, with no way to rise?

Not only did she not believe in God, she was even curious about the light in Nim Country and wanted to see what the bright world looked like.

This feeling of guilt made her struggle very much.

"Admit it, the Church of Eternal Night and the Church of Darkness, the three major churches are all the same. Your founders never thought about bringing happiness to people. After the church established a foothold on the mainland, it could have killed the weird ones. To become a rare creature and ignite the bright holy light, but you don’t have it.”

Su Lin continued, "Because once people's happiness level increases, the number of weirdos will decrease. Without weirdness, you will have no gift of the night, and you will not be able to continue to cultivate your own army of extraordinary beings and maintain your dominance."

There was a sarcastic smile on his lips, "In the final analysis, it is just the selfishness of the rulers. You need weirdness to bring fear to people, and you need people in the darkness and fear in their lives to give birth to more negative emotions, and then more will be born. Weird, producing more gifts of the night.”

Su Lin walked to the bench and sat down, leaning his back against the wall and crossing his legs. "In fact, the current situation you are not happy to see is the peak that the founder of the Eternal Night Church most hopes to see."

Joan's expression was gloomy. She understood what Su Lin meant. Now the Eternal Night Church is very corrupt, and the lives of the believers below are very depressing. But it has to be admitted that the church has developed very well in recent years, and a large number of extraordinary people have emerged. , the reserve of Gift of the Night has doubled.

"You want to overthrow the Eternal Night Church, how can you be my friend?"

Joan's voice was low.

"What you are trying to do is also overthrowing the Eternal Night Church. My dear Pope, you should understand that the Eternal Night Church will not last forever. You should ask yourself in your heart whether you want to be the Eternal Night Church." The Pope should still be the Pope of these 50 billion people.”

Su Lin smiled and said, "If it's the former, then you can kill me now. If it's the latter, I will let you see the sun."

"sun?"

Joan of Arc chewed on this unfamiliar word, and she knew that the sun once existed in this world, but the sky blocked everything, and the continent fell into eternal darkness.

"It is a bright and warm thing. It shines sunshine on everyone equally, regardless of high or low."

Su Lin said, "Now, make your decision."

Joan was silent for a long time, then raised her hand and took off the ecclesiastical crown on her head. Her long golden hair spread out and fell to her waist and hips.

She looked at Su Lin with her blue eyes, "One last question."

Su Lin also stood up and became more serious, "Excuse me."

"what do you want?"

Joan of Arc asked. Even after saying so much, she still didn't understand what the man in front of her wanted.

change?She felt that it was just the purpose of the man in front of her, but to say that he wanted to be a savior felt a bit ridiculous.

Because she felt that the man in front of her was really absurd. He walked carelessly in the church and wandered around the mainland cynically. No one could see through his heart. She didn't know whether there was a huge light in his heart or a deeper darkness hidden in it.

"I want too much, and I don't need to think so noble. I just want to regain the glory that the Silvis family deserves, become an unprecedented conquering king, and ascend the only throne on this continent."

Su Lin said with emotion, "I want to lift this false sky and feel the light of the sun again."

Joan of Arc felt that her question was in vain. She could not tell whether this was what the other party was thinking, because she could not sense the ambition of the man in front of her at all.

The plan mentioned by the other party did seem to be completed, but she did not feel the other party's desire, as if such a grand undertaking was not his lifelong goal, but just a... game.

"Would you be a tyrant?"

Jeanne asked.

"tyrant?"

Su Lin smiled and shook his head, "I think this has nothing to do with me. Maybe I am just enjoying the process of conquest. After the reunification is really completed, I will let you go and leave it to you. After all, managing a country is a troublesome thing. "

After that, he turned and left, waving his hand, "No need to send her off, we will see you soon. I believe you already know what to do next time we meet."

Joan of Arc watched this mysterious man disappear into the church, and soon his breath disappeared, and even her senses could not find him.

"The sun..."

Joan of Arc stood there and murmured to herself, "If there is one, I really want to see what a bright and beautiful thing it is."

…………

"nailed it?"

Outside the Jingluo Archdiocese, Lu Zhixue looked at the handsome man exiting the two-dimensional space.

There are twenty Nightmare Machines behind her. If something goes wrong, she will break through to support. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Su Lin ended this major diplomacy calmly.

"It's very simple. It's said to be the Pope, but in my opinion, it's just a little girl."

Su Lin smiled.

What he said was true. The pope of the Eternal Night Church is not young, but she has actually been living in the circle drawn by the Eternal Night Church. To be honest, it is really a miracle that someone like her can become the pope.

The successive popes of the Eternal Night Church are very scheming, mainly because of their age. They have worked hard for many years in the top ranks of the church to reach this position. Of course, they are very old.

But Joan of Arc's half life before becoming the Pope was too smooth. Rather than relying on her talent and strength to become the Pope, it is better to say that she was pushed to the position by the major theocratic upstart families. She was just a pawn. I believe in her these years. Got it too.

Her style of doing things is not sophisticated enough, which is why so many families have rebelled. She is still not familiar with the trick of boiling a frog in warm water.

And her intentions and heart are too easy to see through. I just said a few words to let her break through. This only shows that her character is not up to par. If such a person is in the same belief camp, it is easy to control her. .

But if you are in a camp with different beliefs, it will be difficult to control your will, and you will be very stubborn.

"Oh? But I heard that the little girl is quite beautiful."

Lu Zhixue's focus was always strange. She leaned closer to Su Lin and sniffed with the tip of her nose, "You smell like her."

Then Su Lin saw Lu Zhixue's eyes turned red, which was a sign of personality switching. A dangerous personality replaced the original Lu Zhixue.

"It was a little too close when talking, you know, just some pressure tactics in negotiations."

Su Lin raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, because the cold blade was already on his neck. The personality he was least good at dealing with was this killer sister.

Now, he has accepted his past, but getting along with Lu Zhixue is like having many different female friends.

Some are easy to coax, others are dangerous.

He didn't want to end up with a hatchet by accident.

Hongying took it back, and Lu Zhixue turned around as if nothing had happened, "Let's go, didn't Linlin say that we should hurry up and refine the weapon?"

Su Lin was stunned for a moment, then followed.

A woman's mind is really hard to figure out.

…………

In the year 3813 of Yongye History, on October 10, in this late autumn season, the largest civil strife in history occurred.

His Majesty the Pope, who had been silent for a long time in the Eternal Night Church, took the lead in taking action. He organized several crimes and sent troops to annihilate the Haquin family with thunderous force.

Tens of thousands of Yongye Holy Army rushed into the ancient castle. The eight hundred nightmare mechas in the Haquin family failed to protect their master's life and turned into a pile of scrap metal under the might of the Holy Army.

The next day, the entire Inquisition Bureau mobilized to implement martial law across the southern continent. All people were prohibited from going to the realm, and supplies were distributed by the Eternal Night Church.

Anyone who behaves abnormally, the Inquisition Bureau has the right to kill them first and then report them, and kill them all on the spot.

The entire Eternal Night Church was collectively shocked. Even many cardinals were invited to the bureau for tea by the local director of the Heresy Tribunal before they could even realize what was happening.

But one thing is clear to all the clergy, and that is that things have changed.

The trumpet of war has sounded, and no one expected that His Majesty the Pope, who has always been restrained, would have such courage and attack a new theocratic family.

The intelligence of the war leaked out and soon reached the hands of the clan leaders of the major families. They were not surprised that the Nightmare Mecha was defeated so quickly, because they were facing the fully-organized Eternal Night Holy Army!

What's more, that battle was said to have been personally fought by His Majesty the Pope. The Eternal Night Holy Army was just suppressing the battle and did not take action at all. The Pope's Majesty alone swept away [-] Nightmare Mechas and took away a batch as experimental reference. .

On November 11st, the Heinrich family, the Camor family, the Lorraine family, the Feren family, and the Reinhardt family joined forces to attack the current leader of the Eternal Night Church, Joan of Arc St. Neo Solanra. A crusade was issued to denounce the Pope's overstepping of authority and violations.

They said that the current pope had believed in heresy, and without the vote of the cardinals, he privately used the Eternal Night Holy Army to destroy a theocratic family that had made outstanding contributions to the Eternal Night Church. This was a serious act of judgment.

On the same day, the meeting of cardinals collectively passed the dethronement of the current pope. Joan of Arc. St. Neo Solanla is no longer the legal pope of the Eternal Night Church. She is now a heretic of the Eternal Night Church, and all her powers have been removed by the Eternal Night Church. The church took it back and put it on the Inquisition's kill list.

But this order did not fully take effect. The Cardinal's order was issued to the entire territory, but the Jingluo Archdiocese was still under the control of Joan of Arc, and the military power of the Eternal Night Holy Army was not shaken.

At the same time, the Inquisition did not actually use its power to eliminate the biggest heretic. It was only fulfilling the last orders of the previous pope to maintain order throughout the territory and protect the people from being involved in the war.

Joan of Arc's childhood friend, classmate, and best friend, Chief Trial Officer Garon Fiorchis, did not carry out the orders of the cardinals, but he also did not lend a helping hand to Joan of Arc again. In this war Stay neutral.

If Joan of Arc can win to the end, he will still be the director of the Heresy Trial. If Joan of Arc loses, the cardinals will not touch him, because his position is in a sense more important than the Pope, and he is responsible for coordinating the overall affairs of the world. Extraordinary things to deal with.

If a director of the Inquisition is replaced before there is a suitable person to take over, the entire territory will be in chaos.

The cardinals didn't care either. They didn't expect the Inquisition to be of much help. Those executive officers were not soldiers, they were more like agents. The effect of agents on the battlefield was not good.

What's more, more than 50% of the extraordinary people on duty in the Heresy Tribunal have disobeyed orders and returned to their respective families.

In the ancient palace in the mountains, rows of nightmare mechas stand neatly there. They are in operation, and the blue veins on their bodies emit a faint light. The nightmare exhaust gas is discharged from the holes, and the silence brings invisible oppression to people. feel.

"Even though it's a bit disrespectful, I think the gods' legion is nothing more than that."

The head of the Carmore family admired, and he began to assign the command authority to each legion, "Sius, you are responsible for commanding the first legion."

Hughes is his grandson. He has shown outstanding military talents since he was a child. There are many nightmare mechas in the first legion. Type Zero, with a total of 500 nightmare mechas, is the strongest nightmare legion of the Camor family.

A handsome middle-aged man stepped out of the line. After saluting, he stepped forward to give command and let the first regiment go out.

But he made several orders but they failed to take effect, which made him very puzzled.

The head of Kamor was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at his son with a gloomy expression.

His son was also very confused, but then he understood, with anger on his face, but his wife had been dead for many years and he could not question her.

The answer is obvious, because the nightmare mecha is controlled by blood, and Hughes is not his direct bloodline, or even has a blood relationship with the Camor family, so he cannot command it.

"Seus, come back, Clara, go."

Mr. Kamor didn't want to talk about his family background at the swearing-in meeting, as it would make him look like a clown, so he just changed his personal assignment in a nonchalant manner.

Clara is his granddaughter, equally talented and decisive.

Clara saluted and went out, but an accident happened again, and she was unable to command the nightmare mecha.

Chief Kamor looked gloomy, "Beren, you are in charge of the first legion."

Beren is his second grandson. Although he is not as outstanding as Xius, he is not a playboy and has some attainments in military affairs.

Beren was inexplicably uneasy when he came out. As core members of the family, they certainly knew about the nightmare mechas. In order to be able to command the nightmare mechas well in the future, he had studied and studied the mechanical principles for a long time.

But when it came time for him to command the strongest first legion, he felt uneasy because both his brother and sister had failed, which made him feel weird.

"Exit!"

Beren spoke loudly, but the nightmare mecha remained motionless.

Mr. Kamor was extremely angry, pointing at his eldest son, "Go!"

The eldest son Glenn was also very angry. When he was young, he was the deputy director of the Inquisition Bureau. He was often busy with official duties outside and rarely came home. He did not expect that such a scandal would happen in the family.

Since the teachings of the Eternal Night Church are monogamy, he only has four children, and now it seems that none of them are his.

What's worse is that he is already 250 years old and is unlikely to have any more children.

He walked toward the First Legion angrily, "First Legion, come out!"

Something happened that confused everyone in the Camor family, because even Glenn couldn't command the nightmare mecha.

A pair of eyes soon focused on the elder of the Kamer family, causing the elder's old face to look uncertain.

It was not his daughter-in-law who had the problem with co-authorship.

"That's all, I was supposed to go into battle in person." The head of the family said coldly, and ordered the first legion to be separated, and then began to allocate the lineage to his youngest son. This time there was no problem.

Glenn is 250 years old and an old man himself. Standing next to his old father at this moment, he is helpless and feels that his outlook on life has collapsed.

The other two clan elders also began to delegate their authority. To everyone's relief, his two younger brothers also had the same problem, and he was not the only one who was embarrassed.

As a large family with ancient heritage, the Camor family of course attaches great importance to the parent-child relationship. In the past, when children were born in the family, they would use traditional methods to conduct paternity tests.

But now it seems that the ancient method of recognizing relatives without scientific basis is really unreliable.

Everyone doesn't believe that such high-end technology as the Nightmare Mecha can go wrong, so the only thing that goes wrong is their old monitoring methods.

The same situation was happening in other major theocratic families at this time. When the army was launched, the elders of the family were willing to delegate part of the command power. As a result, some family ethics issues were embarrassingly discovered.

It is still a trivial matter if a son is not his biological son. There are some weird situations where the parent and son cannot command, but the servants in the castle can.

A farce is a farce, these things cannot affect the determination of these theocratic families to send troops, and they quickly resolve the internal conflicts within the family.

Rather, in the face of the big thing he is about to do, his wife cheating on him is just a small problem.

On November 11th, the five theocratic families met in Milan Diocese, thousands of miles south of Jingluo Diocese, and assembled more than 5 nightmare mecha legions.

On November 11, the theocratic families across the territory revolted. Under the leadership of the new theocratic families, they sent troops to the Jingluo Archdiocese and met in the Teran Diocese, eight hundred miles away to the east. A total of 6 Nightmare Mecha Legions were assembled.

On the same day, six thousand Nightmare Mecha Legions approached the western part of Jingluo Parish, with troops [-] miles away.

The Jingluo Archdiocese is filled with smoke and tension, what is Su Lin doing?

He was doing final debugging on his new weapon in the Third Research Institute of Nim.

He is the only one in the Third Research Institute, who is mainly responsible for developing some cutting-edge but obscure things.

In front of him is a huge launch silo. The launch fuel is driven by nightmare fuel. It is very light and durable. It can launch the eighteen-ton giant with a strike radius of up to [-] kilometers.

Well, the strike range is ridiculous, which is impossible with technology on Earth, mainly due to fuel constraints.

Nightmare fuel is different. Its quality is pitifully low. Even if tens of thousands of units of nightmare fuel are concentrated into a fist-sized volume, it is only a few hundred grams.

He hasn't conducted a test explosion yet, but the launch accuracy of the rocket has been tested once. The landing point error is two to three kilometers, which is satisfactory and sufficient.

He said he wasn't going to use this thing on humans, but that didn't mean he wouldn't use it as a deterrent.

At that moment, he completed the final assembly of the warhead, and his technology victory score skyrocketed by [-] points again, breaking through the [-] mark.

He thought the aliens from other camps should understand what this meant. The score itself was a kind of intelligence.

If you are a smart stranger, you will understand what kind of killer weapon you have created.

But unfortunately, the foreigners in the other two camps are too weak. It has been more than a year and they are still struggling on their territory. They have not touched the top leaders of the local church at all, let alone influence their decision-making.

Of course, the news of the civil strife in the Evernight Church cannot be concealed from the neighboring churches.

Su Lin couldn't say that those theocratic families were stupid. They could certainly predict that the Dark Church and the Canopy Church would invade, but they didn't care about that at this time.

The power of the Nightmare Mecha has made them feel that they are going to dominate the world. As long as Joan of Arc is ousted and the power pie is re-divided, they can fight back with the armies of the Dark Church and the Canopy Church later.

As for how many people will die as a result of the invasion of the Dark Church and the Canopy Church, what does that have to do with them?
They are just a bunch of untouchables. If more people die, they can be given more gifts of night.

Even many theocratic families have already thought that in the new era, the cake of Eternal Night Church is no longer enough for them.

After overthrowing Joan of Arc, they can use the invasion war of the Dark Church and the Canopy Church as an excuse to launch a "self-defense war". At that time, they will directly swallow the entire continent, and they will become the supreme and eternal theocratic family.

The Inquisition can only maintain neutrality in this war, and the movements of the Eternal Night Holy Army have been made public, so the major families are relieved to leave, leaving only a small group of loyal and reliable Nightmare Mechas at home. As a basic defensive force.

If the forces of the Dark Church and the Canopy Church are advancing too fast, they will immediately have the family members evacuate under the protection of the Nightmare Mecha, which seems to be foolproof.

Su Lin was not one of those theocratic families who played the game of power and didn't care about the lives of civilians, but he still had to have some conscience.

After all, he was the one who started this war. Those believers of the Eternal Night Church on the border were indeed innocent. If he had to let them pay for it with their own deaths, he would not be able to sleep well at night.

So he is preparing to conduct test explosions. The test explosion locations will be on the ice fields bordering the Dark Church and the Eternal Night Church, and on the desert bordering the Canopy Church and the Eternal Night Church.

Time was too tight, and he finally figured out how to use cursed heavy gold to make an atomic bomb. Don't even think about hydrogen bombs. The technical requirements were too high, and he couldn't do it in a while.

He had considered this situation very early, so when traveling to the land of the Eternal Night Church, he dropped two Nightmare Mecha Zeros on the border as scouts.

Now the two nightmare mechas are observing the movements of the armies of the Dark Church and the Canopy Church. Each of the two major churches has sent out [-] troops.

The Dark Church has the Dark Legion, and the Canopy Church has the Holy Guard. They are both legions of the same level as the Eternal Night Holy Army. Each has 5000 people, which is a quite huge force.

The invasion of the two major churches was not about grabbing territory like a national war. What they launched in the name of a holy war was a holy war, and the enemies they fought in the holy war were naturally heretics.

In short, the two major churches only want land and resources, not people.

After they break into the territory of the Eternal Night Church, they will definitely engage in a battle of annihilation. Wherever they go, there will be no grass growing and no one will be left alive.

Anyway, the number of believers in their territory is large enough. The new resources and land from foreign wars can resolve internal conflicts. When the time comes, just a group of immigrants will be there.

The armies of the two major churches are currently on standby. It is obvious that they are waiting for a fight to break out within the Evernight Church before they advance.

Su Lin has been working hard to get only two nuclear warheads, ready to be launched at any time. As long as the two major churches dare to move forward, the two nuclear bombs will fall in front of them.

…………

On November 11, the Archdiocese of Jingluo was completely surrounded. More than 10 nightmare mechas besieged the city, forcing the Pope to commit suicide.

The war finally started. Joan of Arc tried her best to avoid a head-on confrontation, and after evacuating the people of Jingluo Parish, she enlarged her army into the city and prepared for street fighting.

Although she controlled the damage to the Eternal Night Holy Army, she still did not have a good counterattack.

She personally led the Eternal Night Holy Army to face the enemy head-on, destroying more than two thousand Nightmare Mechas, but was still defeated steadily.

Manpower is sometimes scarce, and no matter how strong she is personally, she still has to stay away from the edge when faced with the combined attacks of tens of thousands of nightmare mechas.

On November 11, Joan of Arc was injured for the first time in the war. Her extraordinary strength could not be sustained, and she led the remaining seven thousand Eternal Night Holy Army to retreat to the cathedral.

Joan of Arc stood on the bell tower of the church, overlooking the Jingluo Archdiocese where the flames were taking off. The war brought flames, but the strangeness attracted by the light could not stop the army's footsteps.

In the smoke and flames of war, the once prosperous Jingluo Archdiocese has turned into a hell on earth.

The Eternal Night Holy Army had been fighting continuously for several days and was exhausted. It was faith and respect for the Pope that supported the children in fighting, and they had already retired.

"Your Majesty, this is our last chance to counterattack. We can break out from the east, withdraw from Jingluo Parish, and still have a chance to make a comeback."

Raines, the Knight Commander of the Eternal Night Holy Army, knelt on one knee behind Joan of Arc and persuaded her to break out.

He didn't understand that with His Majesty the Pope's strength and the Eternal Night Holy Army, which was still intact, there was a clear hope of finding a way out, but His Majesty the Pope had always avoided a full-scale conflict.

They have no way out, what are you waiting for?
After several days of continuous war, the Eternal Night Holy Army only lost 1000 people. He felt that His Majesty the Pope was too precious to the Eternal Night Holy Army, and the knights of the Eternal Night Holy Army were all willing to die for her.

"Stick to the cathedral, they don't want to confront us at this time."

Jeanne ordered calmly.

"But we will be surrounded!"

Raines persuaded, "Those nightmare mechas don't need to eat or drink to fight tirelessly, but we are humans!"

Yes, they are humans and still need to eat, drink, sleep and rest, but the Nightmare Army does not.

Once they are besieged in the cathedral, the dirty theocratic families outside do not need to fight to the death with them. They only need to wait for their own fighting power to collapse.

Now, while they still have strength and the legion's combat strength is still intact, shouldn't they fight to the death, rush out, and then find a way out?

This is a truth that anyone with a little knowledge of military affairs can understand. His Majesty the Pope should not be ignorant of it.

"Renes, don't worry, I made a bet with someone."

Jeanne looked at the fire in the darkness and said.

"bet?"

Raines was stunned for a moment, wondering what His Holiness the Pope was saying at this time.

"I lost the bet, so he's going to take over."

Joan of Arc sighed, she wanted to turn the tide, but the reality was that she really couldn't wipe out this group of traitors.

If she did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the Knights of the Eternal Night Holy Army, perhaps she would launch a strong attack from the beginning, and she would indeed have a slight chance of victory, but that was not the result she wanted.

The knights of the Eternal Night Holy Army trusted her and worshiped her, so they were willing to follow her to this day. She could not let them die on such a battlefield.

It was her selfishness and hesitation that ruined the lives of those knights, and she could not make any more mistakes.

Tread-tap-

The sound of neat steps came from the darkness, and the flames were separated. It was the nightmare army moving forward, and the commander at the head was the leader of each major family.

The camps of the old and new powers are also clearly divided. The five ancient families are on one side, and the emerging theocratic nobles are on the other side. They have besieged the cathedral, and today's harassment war is about to begin.

"Joan of Arc, why bother? How long will you continue to be stubborn when you know that you have lost? Those Eternal Night Holy Army are also precious talents of the church. Do you want to ruin all the family wealth your teacher entrusted to you?"

Chief Kamor stood up and spoke.

Joan of Arc's beautiful eyes were locked on the head of the Camor family, "You are the real worms in the Eternal Night Church. There are no civilians here, so why do you use these words?"

Lord Camor was dressed in military uniform and was surrounded by Zero Nightmare mechas to prevent Joan of Arc from risking his life in a surprise attack.

He smiled calmly, "Your defeat is doomed. Now commit suicide. We will not make it difficult for the Eternal Night Holy Army."

"Joan of Arc, commit suicide."

There were other theocratic patriarchs who spoke, and soon the commanders in the city started shouting, making Raines next to Joan of Arc turn blue.

"You think you've cornered me?"

Joan of Arc asked calmly, her voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the city.

"Isn't it? You may lead the Eternal Night Holy Army to break through desperately, but you know what that means. You will be just an exile in the future. The church will not recognize you, and the believers will cast aside you."

Everyone Kamor said with a smile, "You are wrong. The mistake is that you should not have touched the rules that have been in place for thousands of years. You are too young and do not understand the true meaning of this world. If you act according to the rules honestly, you would But a pope whose name will go down in history.”

"go down in history?"

Joan of Arc sneered, "Does being your dog count as being famous in history?"

She held the scepter representing the identity of the pope, "I was indeed forced into a desperate situation, but you are also the same as me. It is not just me who is defeated, it is us, and it is the Church of Eternal Night."

Patriarch Kamor frowned, and all the commanders present looked confused, feeling that the female pope was crazy.

You must know that they have surrounded the Jingluo Archdiocese and Joan of Arc is at the end of her rope. There is no doubt that they are the victors.

"It seems that you have not only lost your identity as pope, but also all your wisdom. If that's the case, then we'll wait for your dignified exit."

Chief Kamor raised his hand, preparing for the Nightmare Legion to launch an attack. They could not let the Eternal Night Holy Army rest peacefully, and had to harass them every day.

"I don't know if I can exit with dignity, but you probably won't be able to exit with dignity."

Joan of Arc said calmly, looking at a location in the city.

I saw a figure standing on a high tower where the fire was rising. The fire was shining on the man from bottom to top, and his black windbreaker was dancing in the wind.

clap clap-

There was a sound of clapping, it was the man clapping his hands.

All the eyes in the city gathered around and noticed the alien on this vast battlefield.

The fire burned even louder, and as the man raised his hand, it seemed to be spiritual, guarding his feet. The bright firelight illuminated the man's face, allowing everyone to see his appearance clearly.

It was a handsome man with an uncomfortable smile.

Yes, it was uncomfortable. On this occasion, seeing this man, the members of the theocratic family present felt very uncomfortable, because it seemed that things were beyond their control.

Su Lin!

The man standing on the tower is Su Lin, the manufacturer of the Nightmare Mecha!
"Su Lin, what are you doing here?"

Chief Kamor was relatively calm and was the first to ask questions.

Su Lin didn't stop to clap, like a spectator who was watching the climax of a big show.

It wasn't until Patriarch Camor became a little impatient that he took a step in the void. Under everyone's attention, he walked up to Joan of Arc and looked down at everyone from the top of the cathedral.

This seems to be such an obvious statement that people don’t want to ask any more questions.

"Go ahead and kill him!"

The commander of the Reinhardt family said angrily that they would not allow Su Lin to 'rebellion' to the Pope's camp.

They are not afraid of the Pope breaking out, because the Eternal Night Holy Army will fight less and less, and they will eventually be able to surround and kill the Pope.

But if Su Lin left alive, they didn't know how many nightmare mecha troops the Pope would get!

But something surprising happened to them. The always loyal and obedient killing machine did not move, but stood there like dead steel.

Su Lin did not look at the Nightmare Legion and the commanders of the theocratic families under the church, but looked at Pope Joan of Arc, "It seems you have figured it out."

Under the shocked eyes of Raines and many of the Eternal Night Holy Army in the church, Joan of Arc slowly took a step back, took off the papal crown on her head, her long golden hair fell down, and the scepter in her hand was also thrown away. Upstairs.

Under the swirling firelight in the city, nightmare mechas stood upright like javelins, like solemn statues.

Under the gaze of everyone, Joan of Arc slowly knelt down on one knee, like a devout believer meeting a god, or a minister meeting a great king.

"I, Jeanne d'Arc Neo Solanla, from today onwards, declare to be a member of the Light Cult and swear allegiance to the great conquering king, Subai Silvis!"

Joan of Arc's serious voice spread throughout the city, shocking every intelligent creature.

The sword at Su Lin's waist was unsheathed and placed flat on Jeanne's shoulder.

At this time, those nightmare mechas that the theocratic commanders could not control no matter what, collectively knelt down on one knee and saluted, witnessing the new king's ascension to the throne in the light of the fire.
