Chapter 654: Assassination [ First Update ]
[ time goes back to half an hour ago ]
“I’ve already waited for an hour. Is His Holiness still unwilling to see me? !”
In a side hall at the top of Utto Mountain, Roland stared angrily at a deacon of the Holy See in front of him. From the other party’s delaying attitude, she could already see that it was useless for her to come here. The Holy See was not just here to Judge Commander Bryson, they wanted to fight a decisive battle with their military!
“General Roland, please calm down. His Majesty asked me to invite you over,”the middle-aged deacon said with a smile.
Roland was so angry that he choked. She had already planned to leave. At such a critical moment, it was impossible for the Holy See not to know her purpose of coming here at such a high speed, but she had left her here on the pretext of “Handling official business”. It was clearly a deliberate delay!
However, she had waited for so long and now she was leaving.
She clenched her teeth: “Lead the way!”
Soon, she followed the middle-aged deacon to the temple behind St. Mark’s Square. She was stunned as soon as she entered the temple. She saw Barton who was wearing a pope’s robe and holding a scepter sitting on one side of the table. She recognized Dudian who was sitting on the other side of the table!
She had heard about this genius. Especially during the last barbarian invasion the news that the latter donated a legendary item for free spread throughout the outer wall. As a soldier she knew the situation better than anyone else. She knew that the effect of the legendary item was shocking. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the effect of the legendary item that turned the weakness of the military into victory, banishing the barbarians from the country!
Because of this, many soldiers and generals in the military were grateful to him. This was not just a simple victory or defeat in a battle, but it saved countless soldiers’lives and also saved countless families!
Barton looked up at the female general who came in. He was a little nervous and uneasy, and he forced himself to be calm. “You want to see me?”
Lorraine came back to her senses. Her heart was filled with anger. She resisted the impulse to fly into a rage, “Your Holiness Pope, you found out that Commander Bryson of our military region colluded with the dark church. Is It True? Commander Saint Lorenzo thinks that there is something fishy about this. I hope you can investigate in detail so that our military region will be clean!”
Barton didn’t know how to respond. He turned to look at Dudian.
Roland was staring at the new pope’s face. He was stunned when he saw that Barton turned his head to ask Dudian’s opinion, he subconsciously looked at the Holy Genius who had appeared out of nowhere and disappeared. He found that the latter’s temperament was calm and indifferent. There was no emotion in his expression. He was as unfathomable as the starry sky.
“How can you say that he is innocent?”Dudian glanced at Lorraine.
Lorraine was stunned. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She opened her eyes: “Mr… Mr Dean? What did you say? !”
“I said that you are black. How Can I bleach you?”Dudian patiently repeated.
Lorraine was sure that she wasn’t hallucinating. She couldn’t help but turn to look at the new pope who was sitting next to her. He was quietly watching but didn’t speak. It seemed that he had given the right to speak to Dudian, she was confused and confused. Although she had always admired the young genius but the latter was just a divine genius. This involved the chaos of the outer wall. What did he know?
However, the attitude of the new pope made her feel incredible!
“Mr. Dudian, I hope you don’t talk nonsense. You should be responsible for your own words!”Although she was confused but she still stared at Dudian. At the same time her good impression of the new pope decreased.
“Of course I will be responsible.”Dudian glanced at her: “Just like I said I will replace your military region. I always keep my word when dealing with the enemy.”
Roland was stunned as he looked at dudian in disbelief: “Are you crazy? What are you talking about? !” He turned to Barton: “Your Highness, Mr. Dean has maliciously insulted our military region. I beg you to punish him immediately!”
Barton slightly spread his hands: “I can’t punish Young Master.”
“Young Master?”Roland was a bit confused.
Dudian shook his head as he saw her slow reaction, “The military region has asked you to come over to mediate in private. It’s really stupid. If you like to hold a bit of illusion when dealing with the enemy then you will be the one who will be harmed.”
Roland looked at him in a daze. Although he did not understand what he meant, he already somewhat understood. However, the truth that he understood was too unbelievable and too terrifying. It made her feel as if she was in a dream, “You, you’re the real pope? How, how could it be? How could richelieu give up his position to you? And even work for you?”
She couldn’t imagine that a genius in the field of divine arts would be able to do this.
“You don’t need to think about it because you are losers. Losers will never know why they have failed.”Dudian put the Teacup on the table as if it was a foregone conclusion, “The three commanders have no way out. They should be planning how to make us suffer and swallow the ‘consequences’of their recklessness. I guess they will create a bigger scandal to cover up the matter of Commander Bryson. Then they will take the opportunity to attack the holy church and gain nominal justice…”
Roland looked at him in a daze.
“Unfortunately, you never know how many spies I have in your military.”Dudian looked down at her, “Moreover, the military sent a general here. It is really a heavy coffin cover.”
Roland was stunned for a moment. She suddenly woke up. She had a strong premonition: “You, what do you want to Do? I’m just here to deliver a message. You Can’t kill me…”
Dudian glanced at her indifferently and turned to Barton: “Are You Ready?”
Barton bowed his head and said, “I am ready, my Lord.”Then he revealed his arm, which was wrapped in white bandages under his robe.
Lorraine froze.
..
..
In a conference room at the military headquarters.
San Lorenzo raised his hand to suppress the generals’praise, saying: “Just do it. Time is of the essence.”
“Yes!”
The generals immediately accepted the order.
“Report!”
Almost at the same time, a report came from outside. A major ran in quickly with an express report in his hand.
Everyone’s eyelids twitched when they saw the express report in his hand. They instinctively felt an ominous feeling. Every express report that came today seemed to be bad news.
“What’s going on?”Saint Lorenz stood up and looked over.
A general at the end quickly took the report and looked over. His expression immediately changed, and he cried out involuntarily, “General Lorraine assassinated the Pope? !”
