Chapter 632: Two major forces confront each other

"Is the palace preparing to put pressure on the Holy See?"

Jiang Chen suddenly looked startled.

He remembered that the previous monarch Ji Ruqing summoned him for this matter.

Because An Xiangguang, one of the four bishops of the Holy See, was killed by Ye Qingjun, and the Holy See's "artificial angel project" for experimenting on human bodies was learned by the palace.

The palace was ready to take the opportunity to attack the Holy See.

Jiang Chen originally thought it wouldn't be so fast, but he didn't expect that the imperial palace had already started taking action, and it was still so high-profile!

Seeing this massive group of hundreds of soldiers coming from the north, Jiang Chen was both surprised and looking forward to it.

Soon, the soldiers walked into the central square of the imperial city in phalanx.

All the players in front were scolded away.

Jiang Chen also stepped aside and watched this scene quietly.

Immediately, under the leadership of the Grand Commander Emiya, the phalanx of soldiers passed through the central square and headed towards the southern district of the imperial city.

"Go and see!"

Jiang Chen quickly followed behind.

Most of the players near the square were very curious about this and also followed.

Just like that, in front was a phalanx of soldiers arranged neatly and in unison, followed by players who came to join in the fun. Everyone walked south along the avenue.

In addition to players and soldiers, NPCs are constantly joining in along the way.

Among them were people from the Imperial City, as well as some shop owners and clerks, who didn't even do business and came over to join in the fun.

Some NPCs are not even seen normally, but now they are out.

The players were amazed by this and were even more curious about what would happen next.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, a majestic white church appeared at the end of the road.

This is the outer cathedral of the Temple of Light.

In front of the church gate, there is a fountain several meters high.

At this time, there were three people standing in front of the fountain.

In the middle is a friar wearing a robe. He is a tall man, about thirty years old.

To his left and right were two nuns in white dresses.

As you can see, this friar’s name is Levi.

He looked at the phalanx of soldiers approaching with a very serious expression.

However, he still walked up calmly and shouted loudly: "This is the Holy Land of the Vatican, stop coming!"

Wei Gong, who was in front of the soldiers' formation, continued to take a few steps forward, and then said: "I am Wei Gong, the commander of the imperial city, and I am here to question you!"

"What crime?"

Levi frowned, looking unkind.

"I'm asking about the sins of the Holy See. Who are you?"

Emiya said expressionlessly.

"I am Levi, the deacon of the Holy See."

Levi announced his identity and then asked: "Master of the Imperial Palace, don't you know what the Holy See's crime is?"

"A mere deacon is worthy of asking me?"

Wei Gong said sternly: "Is there no one in your Holy See? Let someone with enough qualifications speak out!"

"It seems that Commander Emiya is here to cause trouble today."

Levi's face darkened and he said, "However, no one can be presumptuous in front of the temple!"

"Keep him safe for me!"

Emiya seemed too lazy to say anything more and just raised his hand and waved.

The soldiers at the front quickly stepped out and walked towards Levi.

Just when the soldier was about to hold the latter down, a penetrating voice suddenly sounded:

"Commander Emiya, what are you doing?"

At the church door, a figure wearing a red robe and holding a golden scepter walked slowly over.

This man is none other than Cardinal Benedict!

He is the youngest cardinal in the church.

Rumor has it that he is also the most promising person to succeed the pope.

"Archbishop Benedict, are you willing to give up?"

Wei Gong looked at the visitor with a very cold expression.

"Chief Commander of the Imperial Palace, are you not complying with the law if you come to our Holy See to mobilize troops and mobilize people?"

Benedict glanced at the soldiers behind Emiya, and his tone was firm.

"Law?"

Emiya sneered and said, "If the Holy See abides by the law, I wouldn't be here today!"

"Commander Emiya, are you mistaken?"

Benedict came closer and asked slowly: "Why does our Holy See of Light not abide by the law?"

"Come here, read out the charges against the Holy See!"

Emiya drank immediately.

Immediately, a fat man wearing a palace uniform took a step forward and shouted loudly: "The Holy See of Light set up an underground altar privately to conduct human experiments. It is a serious crime and should be severely punished!"

"What nonsense!"

Benedict's face was gloomy and he refuted: "I, the Holy See of Light, love the world, and my Holy See, the Holy Light, will never do such a thing. The Great Commander, please don't spit on others!"

"If Archbishop Benedict denies it, then let the Pope come out and confront me face to face!"

Emiya took a step forward and spoke in an extremely strong tone.

"Want to see His Majesty the Pope?"

Benedict paused, and then said coldly: "Go to the temple to pay homage. I will meet you by chance."

"It seems that the Pope doesn't want to come out?"

Emiya's eyes narrowed slightly and he said solemnly: "Then I can only surround the church and wait for the Pope to come out."

"you dare!"

Benedict pointed his finger and shouted angrily.

"Why don't you dare?"

Emiya looked cold and shouted: "Everyone, listen to my order and surround the church. No one is allowed in or out!"

"yes!"

The soldiers behind them shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers walked towards the church in orderly steps.

"Emiya, do you want to declare war on the Holy See?!"

Benedict suddenly emitted an astonishing magical fluctuation.

"Are you threatening me?"

Emiya was not to be outdone, his blood was surging, and he confronted the opponent head-on.

"Emiya, do you really think that there is no one in my church?"

Suddenly, a dull voice sounded.

Not far away, more than a dozen figures came over.

Jiang Chen knew the two leading ones.

They were the other two cardinals of the church, Jin Dafu and Eretis!

Behind the two, there were more than a dozen ascetics of the church wearing magic cloaks.

The group came, and the power generated was so great that the air around them was slightly distorted.

The hundreds of soldiers who were originally moving forward suddenly showed uncomfortable expressions on their faces, as if there was a wall blocking them, making it difficult for them to move forward.

Looking at the people coming, Emiya also took a deep breath, his face was extremely solemn.

At this moment.

White beams of light suddenly fell.

Then, one after another, figures with extraordinary momentum walked out.

Emiya's face suddenly relaxed a lot.

Jiang Chen, standing in the distance, looked at these people with a look of surprise on his face.

Even though he could only see their backs and partial profiles from afar, he could still whisper the names of these people: "Chief Great Mage Hogg, Qiantian City Lord Qianye, Zhenlei City Lord Hols, and Taiyi City Lord..."
