Eight hundred and twentieth chapters quell the rebellion
"I see, you are indeed His Majesty the Pope! But even if you are very predictable and know that I will rebel, you can't stop me. Now the entire church is surrounded by my people. As long as I give the order
, they will rush in immediately, even if your Majesty the Pope is unparalleled in cultivation, you probably have no chance of winning against a large crowd of people, right?"
Joseph was just stunned for a moment, and then regained his confident gaze with a proud look on his face.
"What do you think? If you are wise, write the edict of abdication immediately, and three days later announce in front of all the believers in the world that you will pass the throne to me! Otherwise..."
As he said that, Joseph's face condensed, and his eyes were full of sinister looks.
"not so good!"
However, the Pope's expression remained unchanged and he looked indifferent.
Joseph originally thought that when he said these words, the Pope would immediately become panicked, but it was not as he imagined, which made him a little strange.
As a result, Joseph couldn't help but frown slightly. The Pope's calm attitude was so abnormal, which made him feel slightly uneasy.
If the Pope is like this, is there anything he can't do next?
Then he felt that he must have overthought it. Now that the entire church was surrounded by his own people, what kind of trouble could the other party cause?
Thinking of this, Joseph immediately sneered: "Is His Majesty the Pope really not afraid of death?"
"How happy is life and how painful is death! And now it is not certain who will live and who will die?"
"What, do you think you have any chance of winning now? Look, except for the troops surrounding the church outside, they are all my people now!" Joseph pointed to the seven red archbishops behind him and said.
"so what?"
Pope Paul just looked at him lightly, as if he was looking at him with contempt.
This made Joseph slightly angry. He suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the Pope and said: "How about it? Then I will give you a good explanation!"
"Before you announce in public that you will pass the throne to Jacob, once you die, Jacob will not be able to inherit the position of pope. When you die, our thirteen cardinal archbishops will vote to decide who will be the next one.
As long as they support me in selecting the Pope, I will have an absolute majority of votes in the Holy See. Will I not easily ascend to the Pope's throne then?"
After saying that, Joseph couldn't help laughing, as if he had already seen himself sitting on the papal throne and being worshiped by all the believers in the world.
But the Pope just looked at him and smiled quietly, with the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes full of ridicule, almost bursting into laughter.
Seeing the Pope's expression, Joseph couldn't help but stop laughing. He looked at the other party with cold eyes and said, "Are my words ridiculous? You have such an expression!"
"Of course it's ridiculous, and it's also whimsical!" The Pope nodded immediately and said without covering up at all.
"What did you say?"
When Joseph heard this, he felt a fire rising in his chest.
"Old guy, are you mocking me?"
Joseph no longer pretended to be polite to the Pope, and his disrespect for the Pope was directly expressed in his mouth.
"How is it?"
The Pope doesn't care either. A person who wants to rebel against you doesn't need the other person's respect.
Joseph's face turned cold when he heard this, and he said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to mock me? You have to understand that now your life is under my control. You will die if I let you die, and live if I let you live!"
"Really, if you really think so, then I have to say that you have disappointed me!"
Facing the roaring Joseph, a trace of disappointment flashed across the Pope's face.
"disappointment?"
Joseph couldn't help but frowned, not understanding what the Pope meant.
At this time, a red archbishop behind Joseph suddenly said with a cold face: "Don't waste any more time with him. Since he is so uncooperative, just get rid of him!"
Joseph nodded upon hearing this, and the eight of them prepared to join forces to attack.
But at this moment, the Pope suddenly interrupted everyone.
"etc!"
"What, have you changed your mind?" Joseph looked at the Pope with a sneer.
The Pope shook his head and said: "I just want to ask personally, have you really decided to commit suicide with them?"
Naturally, they were referring to Joseph and the red archbishop who just spoke.
The six people immediately looked at each other, and finally they all nodded. Since they had already boarded Joseph's boat, there was no reason to go back to shore.
Seeing these people nodding, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the Pope's eyes that was not easy to detect. No wonder he was so. He had already given these people a chance, but they didn't grasp it.
"Now that you know the answer, just go and die!"
Joseph's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and without waiting for his orders, seven people surrounded the Pope.
The reason why Joseph didn't directly instruct Arnhem to bring people in to kill the Pope was because he didn't want unnecessary losses. After all, he had spent a lot of effort to build that private army.
The Vatican is a small religious country with a small population and a small population. It is very difficult to form an army of several hundred people. If it is not necessary, he really does not want to lose this army.
With the strength of the eight of them, it is possible to deal with the Pope.
This is also the reason why Joseph did not directly bring in the army, but only brought in seven of their cardinal archbishops.
As long as they join forces, no matter how powerful the Pope is, he will never be able to defeat them.
And even if they are defeated, it won't be too late to let Arnhem outside lead people to rush in.
"If you want me to die, even if I have to disappoint you, you all should come out!"
Seeing eight people surrounding him, the Pope did not show any panic on his face and immediately spoke to the air.
Suddenly, the surrounding doors were pushed open one after another, and a large group of people rushed in one after another, surrounding Joseph and the others.
It turned out that in addition to Jacob and Ryder, the other three red archbishops, as well as dozens of paladins and angels, the Holy See had all its elite members.
Seeing themselves being surrounded one after another, the faces of Joseph and others suddenly became extremely ugly.
"I've said before that you were just thinking too much. Since I knew you would rebel, do you think I would be unprepared?"
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I announced in front of you that I would pass the position of Pope to Jacob was to force you to take action. In the end, you couldn't bear to take action."
The Pope said confidently, looking like he was in control.
"Good strategy, good plan, but do you think you can stop us with these rubbish?" Joseph said with anger in his eyes.
"Then you can try it!"
At this point, naturally there was nothing more to say, so the war was about to break out, and everyone got into a melee.
The Pope just watched all this quietly, with no intention of taking action.
But the strange thing is that although there are eight powerful red archbishops on Joseph's side, they do not have an advantage at all. Instead, they are gradually suppressed by the people on the Pope's side.
Joseph and the others immediately felt strange, and then they figured out what was going on. The Pope must have arranged a magic circle here, which weakened their strength.
Thinking of this, Joseph couldn't help but yell at the Pope: "Despicable, you are still the Pope, and you actually use such despicable methods."
"There is no need to be polite when dealing with rebels like you!" The Pope said disdainfully.
Seeing that the people on their side were gradually losing ground, and some of them had even been captured, Joseph quickly rushed out of the encirclement and went straight towards the Pope, preparing to capture the thief first.
But before he got close to the Pope, the Holy Light from the Pope was directly bounced away. His body suddenly fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Joseph couldn't help but change his color in shock. Although he knew that the strength gap between himself and the Pope was huge, he didn't expect it to be so big!
Joseph was also ill and sought medical treatment. Even under normal circumstances, he could not be the Pope's opponent. In this situation, it is simply a fantasy to capture the Pope.
"Joseph, let's capture him without mercy, so that I can avoid killing you!" the Pope said indifferently, looking at Joseph on the ground.
"You want me to surrender, just dream! Don't forget, everyone is my people outside now, I haven't lost yet!" Joseph quickly got up from the ground and roared loudly.
At this time, everyone except Joseph had been controlled by the pope's people. Panic expressions finally appeared on the faces of the seven cardinal archbishops. They did not expect this situation to happen at all.
Seeing this, Joseph had no other choice but to notify Arnhem and lead his troops to rush in.
But after trying for a long time, Arnhem did not bring any troops in.
Just when Joseph was puzzled and looked confused, Jacob and Ryder brought people in.
Seeing this scene, the Pope knew that Jacob and the others had wiped out the rebels outside, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Even though he looked calm and composed in front of Joseph and others, he actually didn't have a 100% chance of winning.
Although he had made preparations, the Pope actually didn't know how many people there were on Joseph's side, so it was hard to say who would win the battle outside. But now that he saw Jacob and the others coming in, the Pope was slightly worried.
My heart was finally relieved.
Joseph did not expect that he could not wait until Arnhem brought the troops in, but he waited until Jacob brought the people in first, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, Jacob said to him coldly: "Joseph, I advise you not to try again. All your people have been controlled by us, and it is impossible to carry out your orders."
"What! This is impossible!" Joseph was shocked when he heard this.
Jacob sneered, and without further explanation, he directly ordered: "Bring him in."
After a while, Anam was brought in with his hands tied.
Seeing Arnhem with his hands tied, Joseph staggered immediately.
