Pollitt was struck on the heart by Yang Cheng's words. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot and he was extremely angry, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on.
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Angry? That's the right thing to do."
Any normal person would be angry in this situation.
But what happens after the anger subsides? Do you just remain silent and suppress it?
Although I don't know the inside story of what happened back then, I can guess that the guy who came to pick the peaches was killed by your scheme.
"You dared to do this back then, why don't you dare now?"
Pollit stared intently at Yang Cheng, his voice filled with despair and helplessness.
"It's not that I don't dare, it's just that it would be useless to do it!"
Eight cardinals, the grandmasters of the three major knightly orders, the high priest and the pope—what can I do with all these people looming over me?!
I had no choice, that's why I let you kill me.
"If I die here, at least they won't bother my men."
In Yang Cheng's view, there are not many people who can be utilized within the entire Holy See, and Polite can be said to be the only one.
He was a follower of the Church of Light who joined the faith later in life, and he also had many grievances against the Church of Light.
Most importantly, the Night Watch is arguably the department within the entire Church of Light that has contributed the most to the kingdom's people.
Before their falling out with the royal family, the Night's Watch genuinely helped the kingdom's people eliminate many dangers, but at the same time, they also suffered enormous losses.
However, precisely because of the immense damage, the Papacy never includes its own members in the Night's Watch.
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Let your men go? After you die, the Night Watch will probably disappear altogether."
Why do the Night's Watch exist? Because the Papacy wants to compete with the royal family for prestige.
Now that the Church of Light has a reputation and has fallen out with the royal family, is there still a need for the Night's Watch to exist?
Therefore, after your death, the Night's Watch will only be used by the Papacy as disposable resources. Once they are all used up, they will naturally be phased out.
As Yang Cheng finished speaking, Pollitt's hands gradually clenched.
Although the Night's Watch is an organization of the Holy See, it is his life's work!
For many years, the Papacy has left the Night's Watch largely unsupervised.
Normally, they only provide some funds and resources, which are nothing compared to the three major knightly orders.
Everything else was done by Pollitt, the leader of the Night's Watch, including things like training new recruits.
How could he bear to see the Night's Watchmen end up like this?
Pollitt suddenly let out a long breath, looked at Yang Cheng and said in a deep voice, "Why are you not killing me and instead telling me all this? Do you want me to do things for you?"
But working for you won't end well for me either, and besides, you're no match for the Papacy.
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Whether I am a match for the Holy See or not is another matter. As long as you can help me deal with those cardinals and the three major knightly orders, your situation will be completely transformed."
Why does the Vatican dare to ignore you and treat you like a tool? It's because the Vatican's high-level combat capabilities are too weak.
How do you think your strength compares to the eight cardinals and the captains of the three great knightly orders?
Pollitt said proudly, "Each of them possesses a sacred relic of the Holy See. If they didn't have the blessing of the relic, I wouldn't be afraid of them based on my own strength alone."
In his heart, Pollitt even looked down on those hothouse flowers.
He led the Night's Watch in battles against monsters, superhumans, and sometimes even against descending evil gods.
In terms of both combat experience and fighting spirit, he was no less than those cardinals.
However, the opponent is enhanced by the sacred artifacts left behind by the former high-ranking officials of the early Papacy, making their external combat power even stronger.
It is said that those sacred objects were blessed with power by the God of Light, and there are only a dozen or so of them in the entire Vatican.
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Since you are so confident, then after I eliminate those archbishops, cardinals, and the leaders of the three major knightly orders, all the experts in the Papacy will be wiped out. Who else can they use? Only you!"
Pollit stared at Yang Cheng: "But you're making me completely betray the Church and destroy it!"
"Without the Papacy, does the Night's Watch still have a purpose?"
"Of course!"
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "The Night Watch is there to deal with supernatural events and protect the people of the kingdom from the harm of dark forces, not to be the henchmen of the Holy See."
Whatever you gain from the Papacy, you can gain the same things by aligning yourself with the Assyrian Kingdom after I eliminate the Papacy.
And I don't want to destroy the Vatican; I just want to get rid of these high-ranking officials who are currently holding positions of power but are not doing their jobs.
The Church of Light has been rooted in the Kingdom of Assyria and even the entire continent for far too long. The people have become accustomed to the Church of Light's presence, and they also need a religious faith.
So even though the Pope and others are all dead, the Holy See of Light still exists.
And you and your Night's Watch will be the pinnacle of the Holy See's power.
The scene Yang Cheng described left Pollitt speechless for a long time, unsure whether he should take the gamble.
Right now, the Vatican is using him as a tool and a pawn. Whether the assassination succeeds or fails, he is going to die.
Yang Cheng urged him to betray the Holy See, but such a mad thing could lead to certain doom if one wrong step was taken.
After a long pause, Pollit said in a hoarse voice, "Are you really confident in annihilating the high command of the Vatican?"
Although I haven't had any real contact with the Vatican's top leadership, I know that the Vatican's true power is far more terrifying than you can imagine.
