Although he betrayed the country, Milton is now dead, and everyone else is dead too. The Pope should not know this now.
Moreover, if the other party really finds out, what awaits me will not be a whip, but a knife.
Why weren't I informed of the royal family's actions against the Papacy immediately?
Pope Jubilee, his face dark, questioned Pollitt.
Pollitt immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Because Lord Milton had already returned by then, I had already reported this matter to him."
Lord Milton instructed the archbishops of the other districts to keep a low profile so as not to give Grace any leverage over them. He then sent me to assassinate Grace, but I failed because Yang Cheng stopped me.
After that, Lord Milton decided to take matters into his own hands, and his subordinates dared not make any rash decisions.
It wasn't until a day after Lord Milton disappeared that his subordinates consulted with the other priests who remained and informed His Holiness the Pope.
Pollitt's actions were actually correct, and there was not a single point of doubt about them.
If Milton were alive, and he went over his head to inform Pope Ubbs, even Ubbs would be displeased.
When Milton disappeared, he immediately realized something was wrong and even consulted with the priests who remained in the Vatican before making a decision.
Although those priests were direct descendants of the Papacy, their status was lower than Pollit's, so he had done a perfect job.
But Yubis, unable to vent his anger, lashed out at Pollitt again, yelling, "Useless! All of you are useless!"
Turning to Ubbs, he asked, "Where are York and the others?"
A cardinal said, "At their speed, they should have entered St. Brand by now, but strangely, there's still no sign of them."
I just contacted them, but York hasn't replied.
Suddenly realizing something, Ubisoft quickly said, "Contact Rhodes, Jellal, and everyone else you can reach!"
The high-ranking officials within the Vatican possess secret communication devices for long distances, but after a moment, the cardinal's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! We can't contact anyone!"
Ubisoft's face darkened: "I knew it!"
Since Clough dared to take action, he must have made thorough preparations.
That old guy has some nerve! I never even considered completely breaking ties with the royal family; I only dared to make plans in the shadows.
I never imagined he would dare to openly and blatantly slaughter high-ranking officials of my Holy See!
Pollitt, kneeling on the ground to the side, sneered.
Even now, Pope Ubbs still doesn't understand who his opponent is, and he deserves to lose!
Just then, a series of loud booming sounds suddenly erupted, and a violent tremor suddenly came from within the Vatican, as if an earthquake had occurred.
A priest rushed in, looking disheveled, and said, "Your Holiness, something terrible has happened!"
Hundreds of alchemists from the Alchemist Guild surrounded the Papacy, while Ulysses led the Dragon Riders to protect the alchemists on the perimeter.
They have already set up their formations and alchemical cannons, and are beginning their attack on the Holy See!
Disbelief and rage flashed in Yubis's eyes.
"What audacity!"
Everyone hurriedly ran towards the outside of the Vatican, completely ignoring Pollitt, who was still kneeling on the ground.
As he watched the Pope and the others walk away, Pollitt's eyes flashed with boundless hatred and madness.
Outside the Papacy, Ulysses, leading thousands of elite guards from the Dragon Riders, fought alongside alchemists. Yang Cheng stood beside him, watching as the Papacy, radiating pure white holy light, was engulfed in artillery fire.
"Mr. Yang, this is the final battle, please!"
Ulysses bowed to Yang Cheng with a solemn expression.
Having lost his longsword, which was imbued with sharp power, his strength was greatly diminished.
Therefore, in this battle, he could only assist in the attack from the sidelines and could not truly contribute.
Yang Cheng squinted and said, "Don't worry, the Holy See has already been half destroyed, what are you still worried about?"
Ulysses sighed, "Of course I'm worried about that sacred object that can summon angels. It's an angel, an apostle of the God of Light."
Yang Cheng suddenly asked, "Which is more powerful, a god or an angel? I have already slain a god, so why would I fear an angel?"
Ulysses was momentarily stunned.
They had dealt with gods like Homunculus who descended to earth, and Yang Cheng even had the feat of forcing back the cherubim, the god of wisdom. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be afraid of angels.
However, the God of Light is a legendary supreme god, formed from the heart of the Creator, unlike other evil gods.
The angels under his command must be stronger than other gods.
As Ulysses was still pondering this question, a golden shield rose up and enveloped the entire Holy See, from which Pope Ubs and others emerged.
