inner city.
When the city finally came into Suli's sight, even he could clearly sense the oppression that was sweeping over him.
The city gates were tightly shut, but the people queuing at the gate were entering at a moderate pace. If you watched for just three or two minutes, you would be able to see that the queue was moving forward.
Parallel to the door for entering, there is another door symbolizing exit, which is fastened tightly.
At least during the half hour that he waited in line to verify his identity to enter the city, Sully did not see anyone coming in or out of that door.
Fortunately, the requirements for identity verification to enter the inner city were not very high. The soldiers guarding the city only took a glance, and after Euphia got the identity cards for Suli and others from the neighboring city of Sadina, they were allowed in directly.
The people who came to the city this time, besides Sully who had to participate, included Egbert, Lan Zhe, and the crow who turned into a crow again.
Of course, this also includes Roy, who firmly believes that if a bodyguard is separated from his employer, he is no longer a bodyguard.
Once in the city, Sully joined up with Ophelia's men.
After Ophelia's men took a few people to a nearby hotel, they took the initiative to explain some of the recent situation in the city.
The first was that the Dark Church, which had been silent for many years, took action again. As soon as it took action, it directly caused the king to be seriously injured and fell into a long coma from which it was unknown when he would wake up.
The second thing is the strict security in the city.
"It is said that those members of the Dark Church who assassinated the king did not flee out of the city immediately after the assassination. Instead, they targeted some of the nobles in the city."
"After sacrificing some nobles, the king's army completely surrounded the city, blocking any means of entry and exit. Not only that, those soldiers are checking for people from the Dark Church every day."
The messenger nodded slightly and said, "The princess said that the current situation of this city is that it is easy to enter, but it is as difficult as climbing to heaven to leave."
The messenger added one last sentence: "After the princess told us to pass on this information, she also wants to tell you something else. She said that she will act according to the plan next, and you also need to make corresponding preparations after the plan is completed."
As soon as he finished speaking and made sure that Suli nodded, the man turned around and left.
The so-called plan is something that has not been made clear before but has been tacitly understood by both parties.
After that day, Ophelia told Xia Zuo: "Something went wrong in Licheng. My men sent me a message saying that my father had been assassinated and had fallen into a coma."
"It is difficult for a large army to move. Moreover, although they have a large number of people, they are no match for the three-star mercenaries in the Mercenary City."
In short, it means: "I need to go back to Leeds to see the situation for myself, but you can't."
"Xia Zuo, you need to stay here to guard the army and unite with the people from the Church who will arrive later to besiege Sadina. After all, if I go back to the inner city now, you will be the only one left to represent Amicbee's rule over Sadina."
Whether it was a reason or an excuse, everything made sense, not to mention that Xia Zuo still existed and obeyed Ophelia's orders.
So the princess left Sadina under the cover of night.
She needed to return to Licheng a day in advance to create an intelligence connection environment that would not be interfered with by others for Suli, who would rush to that city the next day.
For example, the hotel where Sully will be staying for quite some time.
This is one of Ophelia's powers.
It was not until this moment that Suli had time to explain to a few people what the previous tacit understanding, in which there was no discussion of subsequent cooperation, actually meant.
"Ophelia should have spread the news in the city by now that her mother cheated on the king and gave birth to a child with amazing talent for the Pope."
This passage contained too much information and made several men stunned on the spot.
Egbert's head was instantly filled with question marks, and Lan Zhe was also directly silenced by the reality of the situation. Only Roy, who was a little slow to react, asked back: "What do you mean, the child born to the Pope is incredibly talented..."
After that, he understood.
Then he fell silent.
Egbert said in a daze, "Could it be that the princess wants to put her true identity on Xia Zuo's head?"
"Yes, that's what you think." Su Li nodded affirmatively, "Ophelia is an egoist who is extremely unwilling to be controlled by others. It is impossible for her to obey the Pope's order and let Xia Zuo become the new king of this country."
Sully had known she would do this.
"Because only in this way can Ophelia guide the officials of the inner city to worship her as queen in the shortest possible time."
"Once the true identities of the siblings are exposed, Ophelia will never be able to sit on the throne. If she can't sit on that position, it means she has no capital to fight against the Pope. Without capital, it means she will never get the freedom she really wants."
Therefore, as soon as the cooperation was reached, Ophelia returned to the city and started to cause trouble.
For a princess who already knew her true identity, the idea of sitting on the throne and becoming queen could not have been formed overnight.
The existence of the hotel also proves this.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Before Ophelia left Licheng, she probably already had the idea of swapping identities with Xia Zuo.
After all, Xia Zuo is a light element master who has a super high affinity with light elements and extraordinary strength.
And Ophelia...
But it is incredible, inheriting the unique water element of the Amicbee royal family.
But rather than saying it was an inheritance, Suli now thought that he had also felt that Ophelia should have hinted to him that this so-called water element also had a meaning that could not be ignored...
But that information is not very important at this time.
The cooperation that Suli had previously reached with the princess was that after she took action, he would stand on the same front with her and jointly resist the ensuing conflict.
"Ophelia left Xia Zuo in Sadina City because she thought she couldn't completely control Xia Zuo. She probably also wanted to swap their identities so that she could drag Dizi into the water once she was sure of the truth."
Sully decisively hammered this point home.
But Egbert once again had a question mark on his head.
"What does this have to do with Deeds?"
If Egbert, who first met Sully, had three tons of sea water in his brain, then Dez's brain itself was a Pacific Ocean.
Can dragging this kind of person into the water really make him act as you expect?
Egbert could not understand this.
But he could guess that Sully was already very satisfied.
You know, Roy is still sighing at this moment: "No matter how far Ophelia can plan in the end, it will become a stain on her by revealing what her biological mother did."
The gap is already obvious.
At least Egbert knew that the highly egoistic Ophelia was a person who cared about results. As long as she ascended the throne, all those gossipers would just become meat on the chopping board and be cut by her at any time.
Just thinking about this, Sully felt that there was nothing wrong in explaining the situation to Egbert.
"Rather than saying that Ophelia is plotting against Dizi, it is better to say that once Xia Zuo's situation is exposed, it is bound to cause a small split within the Church of Light."
"Theocracy has always been selected from among the light element personnel who suddenly mutated in the civilian world. Except for the special case of my mother, all the popes in history did not leave any descendants. However, the current pope gave birth to a son, and his power is so strong..."
"In this case, it is clear what other people in the Vatican will think."
This will more or less imply that you, the Pope, have definitely violated the basic setting that theocracy should dedicate their body and mind to God.
This is where doubts arise.
Moreover, before this, after Egbert was planned to leave the Holy See of Light, Deze had become the only heir in the open.
Once Xia Zuo is accused of being the Pope's son, even if Dizi does not want to be an enemy of him, he will definitely be supported by his supporters to confront Xia Zuo.
Of course, Ophelia's purpose was not simply to make the two of them fight. Her purpose was to let Diz restrain Xia Zuo.
The power of the Pope should not be underestimated.
No one can accurately judge how many cards a powerful person who has lived for so many years and has even been the Pope for so many years may have.
In this case, it would be better to think of the Pope in the most terrifying way.
It won’t be that bad anyway.
In this case, Xia Zuo, the uncertain factor, will change the existing situation because of his personal strength, so it would be better to kick him out directly and let him compete with Diz.
Another point is that the Holy See has also made the intention to take action against the city of Sadina.
The Patriarch Lucien, who had previously fought against Euphia but died at her hands, will go to Sardina City next when his situation is reported back to the Holy See, and it will become the same as it was in Zizo Town.
This brick of Diz, which is moved wherever it is needed, will definitely be thrown into the city of Sadina.
Looking back at the previous incident, Ophelia acquiesced to the Vatican's decision to take the lead in attacking the city of Sardina, and the reason behind this incident became very clear.
Sully sighed: "I'm afraid Ophelia had already thought about the present at that time."
Diz and Xia Zuo are both in Sardina City. The two are pulling at each other, and some of the backbone forces of the Holy See will shift to Sardina City.
Even if it does not leave the Pope alone for a time, it can at least weaken his overall strength to some extent.
Secondly,...
Sully's eyes darkened for a moment before he said, "Ophelia's change of identity will be known to the Pope once he hears about it. He will know that one of the siblings must have betrayed her."
Since no one knows the true identities of Ophelia and Xia Zuo, the most likely thing to happen next is...
The Pope of the Holy See of Light came to Licheng in person.
The people in the Dark Church, the royal family represented by Ophelia, and the mercenaries represented by Sully, these three forces will not let the Pope of Light go.
Licheng had long been a chaotic city like a quagmire.
As long as the Pope comes, this place will completely turn into a place where beasts are trapped.
