Chapter 103 Who...knows Xu Huai?

The open door quickly attracted the attention of the other guards.

With the reminder of one of the guards and the spread of information among the guards, the East Church, which was originally a bit noisy, quickly became quiet.

Bailey looked at the door of the East Church with a nervous look.

When he saw believers walking out of the open church door one by one, his face covered by a bright silver helmet suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Could it be that...

these believers couldn't stand the pressure of being surrounded and decided to give it a try?

Thinking of this, Bailey couldn't help but curse:

"Damn it!"

"How dare these fanatics get out of that turtle shell?"

"Are they looking for death?"

While cursing, he raised the metal spear engraved with mysterious patterns in his hand and prepared for the battle.

Other guards also cursed in low voices: "I said at the time that we should have extended the encirclement a little further!"

"That's good..."

Obviously, they didn't want to see the believers leave the church gate on their own initiative - this meant that the two sides would inevitably have a head-on conflict, and conflict meant death.

These guards, whose spirits were completely wiped out by the Wall of Sighs, didn't want to risk their lives for this.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

At this point, they could only change their original attitude of laughing and joking, and raised the metal spears in their hands, pointing the spears at the believers who walked out of the East Church.

Against the backdrop of the metal spears and bright silver armor, a faint iron-blooded aura rose spontaneously.

Next to them.

Listening to the undisguised curses from the guards, Holt, who was isolated from the guard group, moved his lips slightly.

He wanted to tell these guards the truth, and also wanted to clear the name of the believers in the East Church.

But...

thinking of his previous experience, he finally swallowed the words on his lips with a gloomy look.

...

The opening of the church gate is not the end.

Surrounded by a large number of guards, the metal wall of the East Church, which had been closed, slowly cracked again and sank into the ground.

After several hours of waiting, the main church hall was once again exposed in the center of Varela City.

On the side of the church hall, the broken bodies of countless priests and deacons were piled together.

As for the captured priests and bishops, they were locked up in the side hall of the church by Xu Huai - with the remote assistance of Youyi and Chen Fan, these closed side halls would be the perfect prison!

Xu Huai, wearing a white robe stained with a little blood, stood in front of the believers with a calm expression, facing the metal spears of the guards.

Under the light of the church, a holy atmosphere arose spontaneously. Under

Holt's gaze, she and the believers stood silently in front of the church, as if waiting for something.

As for the guards, they put on a posture as if they were facing a great enemy.

Holt, who was watching the confrontation between the two sides from a distance, couldn't help but sweat.

Don't think too much! !

Holt cast his eyes on the guards who were ready to move, and prayed silently in his heart.

That was the incarnation of the goddess in the world. If they attacked rashly and angered the goddess...

God knows what kind of divine punishment they would suffer! !

What you fear will come true.

With Holt's thoughts in his heart, the stalemate between the two sides did not last too long. "Form a

formation!!!"

A rough roar broke the balance that the two sides had been struggling to maintain.

Amid the heavy footsteps and the crisp sound of armor colliding, the guards wearing bright silver armor subconsciously moved their feet and quickly changed their positions.

"Attack!!!"

The roar sounded again.

The originally scattered footsteps quickly became orderly.

Under the gloomy sky, the metal spears engraved with mysterious patterns flashed with a faint reflection.

The murderous intention spread out and swept towards the group of believers in the center of the encirclement.

Xu Huai was the first to bear the brunt and endured most of the pressure.

Just as the guards were about to launch an attack under orders, extremely dull and rapid footsteps came from the cement street in the distance!

Then, a loud shout rang out near the East Church.

"Stop!!!"

Bailey paused, and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

When he saw the armor engraved with mysterious patterns, he suddenly widened his eyes.

This is...

the captain of the guard? !

Could something big have happened?

Why would the captain of the guard leave the Wall of Sighs and come to the cathedral in person?

For a moment, countless confusions arose in Bailey's heart.

"The Pope has ordered!"

Under Bailey's gaze, the captain of the guard shouted again: "Immediately stop attacking the rebellious believers!!"

Before Bailey could come back to his senses, the captain of the guard said the second shocking order.

"The oracle of the goddess."

"From now on, the Pope resigns, and the new Pope..."

The captain of the guard was silent for a moment, and finally whispered in an uncertain tone: "The new Pope will be Xu Huai, the messenger of God."

After that, he turned his head and looked around: "You..."

The voice of the captain of the guard became weaker and weaker:

"Who knows Xu Huai?"

...

There was an uproar.

Hearing the two pieces of news from the captain of the guard, Bailey felt his head buzzing.

The former is good news - he is an old man who has guarded the Wall of Sighs for decades. If a fight really breaks out, he will probably be the first to die.

But the latter...

isn't it a little too exciting?

He subconsciously asked his companions around him in a dry voice: "Xu, who is Xu Huai?"

No one could answer his question.

Not to mention Bailey and the guards present, even the guard captain was at a loss.

Until Holt's voice came from a distance.

"Xu Huai is the leader of those fanatics."

The moment the voice fell, the East Church not far away heard an extremely strong shout.

"Pope!"

"Pope!!"

"Pope!!!"

Amid the shouts, the pedestal of the holographic statue in the center of the church hall lit up again.

The huge holographic statue appeared again above the city of Varela, showing the power of the goddess unscrupulously to the surrounding guards.

...

Bailey stared straight at the East Church in front of him and the holographic statue above the church.

I came to suppress the rebellion, and you told me that the rebel leader has become my direct superior?

Is this how it works?

Not to mention Bailey and the other guards, the captain of the guards was completely stunned when he saw this scene.

On the other side, under the bright silver helmet, Holt showed a relieved smile on his face.

The Pope resigned, and Xu Huai became the new Pope. This is undoubtedly the best ending.

There is no need to increase useless casualties, and the city of Varela will be back on track...

But...

all these wishful imaginations were shattered with a move by the captain of the guard.

Under the gaze of Holt and all the guards, the armored captain of the guard moved his mechanical prosthesis, walked silently to the guards in the attack formation, and then drew the sword at his waist.

"The above is the Pope's order."

"Next, my order!"

The tip of the knife flashed with a cold light and pointed to the East Church in front:

"Follow my orders!"

"Launch an attack on the rebels!!!"
