683 Concession
Chapter 683 Concessions
The afterglow of the sunset shines a gorgeous sunset in the sky to the west.
Colin stood on the top of the Holy Mountain, and the glow seemed to have a sacred halo on him.
Where he is, it seems that the center of the world is clearly on the stairs, but the Holy Light Cathedral, which is towering on the top of the Holy Mountain, seems to be approaching him actively.
The Templars guarding in front of the church looked at Colin, and an irresistible awe arose in their hearts.
It was not until Colin walked into the church gate that this vision of time and space disorder collapsed instantly.
"Mensayi, you deceived me!" Colin spoke coldly, his grand voice as if from above the Nine Heavens.
Cardinal Mensay stood behind a team of Templars, holding the golden horn tightly in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face, and he replied respectfully:
"Earl of Angeles, you misunderstood me. I just helped you achieve your goal in advance."
Colin smiled coldly and said:
"Help me? You just help yourself!"
The moment Prince Harrison was killed by Pope Gregori in East Springs Town, Colin realized that he had been fooled by Mensayi.
Although this ambitious cardinal also wanted to get rid of Gregori, he was also full of vigilance against Colin.
Of course, Colin did have the idea of destroying bridges across the river.
In the original Grace Day plan, after subduing Gregori, Colin did not intend to return the golden horn to the church.
He even prepared to reduce the number of the Knights Templars and suppress the power of the church.
In his conception, even if Mensayi can successfully inherit the position of the Pope, he will be just a puppet who is unable to fight against the nobles. From then on, the church will completely become a faith tool to assist the nobles in ruling the empire.
But Mensa is obviously aware of this.
Moreover, he was unwilling to be just a puppet and a tool.
That's why he took the initiative first, using the information difference and time difference to catch everyone off guard.
Although Collin was angry, he had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the cardinal.
"Count of Angeles, I have no intention of being an enemy of you." Cardinal Mensayi felt the terrifying aura of Colin's abyss and seas. The golden horn in his hand had already been put to his mouth, as if it was about to blow the next second. "And, believe me, you can't bear the consequences of forcing the church to a dead end!"
"Is that?" Colin smiled coldly, "That's the golden horn? Can it really summon angels?"
"You won't want to know." Cardinal Mensayi said coldly.
"No, I want to know." Collin's face was full of jokes. "Not only me, but all the devout believers of the glorious empire want to know whether the omniscient and omnipresent Supreme Lord will still respond to the call of His spokesperson in the world."
After saying this, Colin took a step forward.
Bang!
The entire Cathedral of Holy Light trembled.
The Templars surrounding Mensayi all drew out their long swords at their waists, pointing directly at Colin.
But Colin ignored this and took another step.
Bang!
This step seemed to step on the hearts of everyone in the church.
Bang!
Colin went further.
But the Templars all took a step back.
Bang!
Colin moved forward again.
Mensayi's hand holding the golden horn began to tremble, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down like a waterfall.
But even so, he still did not sound the golden horn.
Bang!
Seeing Colin go further, Mensayi finally couldn't bear such mental pressure and said:
"Earl of Angre! What conditions do you have? You can raise them..."
Hearing this sentence, Colin finally stopped moving forward and showed a smug smile on his face.
He knew he had bet right.
Either the Golden Horn is a scam, or it is that it is too expensive to use, so great that Mensayi would rather bow to Colin than use it easily.
That being the case, Colin had a clear idea.
"Where is Prince Harrison?"
"Your Highness the Prince is resting in the side hall. As long as you are willing to cooperate, you can naturally take him away."
"Where is the body of Marquis Garcia?"
"It's already collected."
"Okay." Seeing Mensayi cooperated so much, Colin's face calmed down a little. "I want you to publicly declare Gregori a blasphemer and reveal all his past ugly deeds."
Mensayi hesitated for a moment and advised:
"Earl of Angeles, even if I declare Gregori a blasphemer, Prince Harrison would not be able to be forgiven. After all, even the Emperor of the Empire has no right to judge, and even kill the spokesperson of the Supreme Lord in the world..."
"You don't have to worry about this. Just announce it as I said."
Mensayi looked at Colin's indifferent gaze and finally nodded with difficulty, saying:
"good."
"And the heir to the throne..."
"I support your opinion unconditionally at this point!" Mensayi said decisively, with a surprisingly good attitude, and even reminded me considerately, "However, the Count of Angle, the situation in the Yulong City is complicated now. Who will succeed the throne, I am afraid that it may not be as you wish..."
"You don't have to worry about this." Colin said confidently.
At the same time, he stopped moving forward and his aura was also restrained.
This time, he had a complete insight into the weakness of the church and also understood Mensayi's character.
This person seems to be vicious and difficult to deal with, but in fact he is weak inside and does not have the courage to fight to the death.
In this case, as long as he does not force him into a dead end, he will be a person who is easier to control than Gregori.
In fact, Colin was not sure whether the golden horn could summon the angels, so when he saw Mensayi surrender, he stopped forcing him.
In order to stabilize the situation in the Glorious Empire, he still needs to teach this ally now.
But when he frees up his hands, he will still come to deal with the church again, and also make Mensayi pay the price for his previous deception!
Mensayi didn't know what Colin was thinking at this time. He felt the aura of the mountain pressing on his body gradually dissipating, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Colin needed his help, he also needed Colin's support at this time.
After all, he is now just the first heir to the Pope and has not really become the Pope.
Mensayi was actually unsure whether the golden horn could summon angels, but he knew that the most terrible deterrence was always when the weapon was not unsheathed. Once the golden horn was used, the church's trump card would be lifted, and if it could not suppress the enemy-
That would be a catastrophe for the church.
What's more, he also knew that the backlash that needs to be borne by using the golden horn is very likely to take his life...
So, at this time, he only wanted to appease Colin and reach an alliance with the other party.
"Earl of Angle, please wait. I will send someone to invite Prince Harrison and the body of Marquis Garcia. I will also arrange someone to send him down the mountain."
"And Gregory's body."
Mensayi frowned and hesitated: "Count Angre, as the pope, Gregori will be buried in the Holy Sect after his death..."
"Is he worthy?" Collin's eyes narrowed and he said disdainfully.
Mensayi and Colin looked at each other for a moment, and nodded after all:
"Okay, as you wish."
