Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 458 Reinforcement
The door to the interrogation room was locked with a simple ceremony, but that was nothing to the experienced Cowboy Bebop.

"Before coming in, I carefully observed the terrain. As long as I make a hole from this side, the East Church Square is outside. Now the Embers and the wounded have gathered in the West District. It's a pity that I lost my revolver."

Coyote Twelve said.

As a precaution, the Inquisitor confiscated his weapons.

This revolver had accompanied him for many years and had been with him when he was a regiment commander of the Rangers.

Fortunately, the Ashes believers didn't know much about machinery, so as long as he wanted, he could always conjure up a weapon that could make a hole in the wall of the cathedral.

"The question is, where do we go after we escape?"

The Fortress had been away from the Holy City for a long time, and this place was filled with a large number of equipment they had never seen before. As long as people were still on the territory of the Church of the Embers, the Inquisitors would always be able to find them.

The Third Prince was thoughtful. "The Pope mentioned before that this war will end soon."

Judging from the Pope's tone, he seemed to have never taken the outbreak of war between Universal Company and the Chamber of Commerce seriously, which made people suspect that this was another means for him to eliminate dissidents.

If this war is lost, the biggest losers will be the Semites.

But when the Third Prince thought about it carefully, he immediately discovered that although the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce has been very powerful recently, every family is falling apart.

Morgan VII's Laurel was wrecked, and he also lost a trump card that could turn the tide of the war.

If he could use the power of the "cocoon" planet on the front battlefield, the situation would undoubtedly be reversed immediately. The Saintfield family was in chaos. Jean Saintfield, the favorite contender for the position of head of the family, died in the Holy City. Rather than caring about the war on the front line, the heirs cared more about who would become the next family leader.

Thinking of this, the Third Prince suddenly had an idea, "The Pope wants to use the name of war to disintegrate the power of the Semites."

On the surface, the Semites thought they were in control of the situation, but they had no idea that they were being tricked by the Pope.

"When I was still working in the company, I heard that the Shan people's faction was independent in the senior management. They seemed to trust the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce more than the internal departments of the company."

Coyote Twelve said.

It was no secret that the relationship between the different consortiums in the company was tense. The Mandragora Consortium, which was good at business and controlled the economic lifeline of the company, was naturally a thorn in people's eyes. "The direct descendants of the Saintfield family were also assassinated the most times. For this reason, they paid a large amount of money to the Long Branch Committee in exchange for personal security services."

If the Pope's plan can be successfully implemented, the Church of the Embers will be the biggest winner.

The company will usher in a new era without the Semitic chaebols and dominated by the Church of the Embers.

When the third prince continued thinking along this line, he was suddenly shocked by another terrifying situation.

"Now the top executives of various consortiums of Universal Corporation are here."

Due to the accidental conflict between the company and the Chamber of Commerce, for safety reasons, the company's top executives did not leave the city on their respective flagships.

It was the Pope who summoned everyone in the name of the Sun King. Among the various forces, their status is even higher than that of the deceased Jean Saintfield.

If the Pope also signed a contract with these people, it would be equivalent to controlling the entire Universal Company by himself.

As to whether this was the will of the Sun King or the Pope's own ambition, it goes without saying.

"Shh, there's some noise outside."

Hearing the footsteps in the corridor, Coyote Twelve retreated to the door and ambushed in the blind spot behind the door, ready for a sneak attack.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to blow a hole in the church wall.

The noise would immediately alert the Inquisitor and the Staff Squad, making their subsequent jailbreak plan difficult. A better way would be for them to knock out a guard and sneak out of the church without raising any alarms.

While the Inquisitor is busy extinguishing the flames on the Pope, it's the perfect time to escape from prison.

As expected, the footsteps stopped at the door of the interrogation room. Soon, a rustling sound was heard from the handrail.

A woman's voice came at the same time. "Mr. Coyote Twelve, if you plan to knock a bump on my head, I will definitely cast a love spell on you and the sow."

The voice sounded familiar, and it directly mentioned his name.

More importantly, the love spell is a code.

When the Fortress was sailing towards the Holy City, September mentioned to them the interesting things that happened on the eco-ship. The person in the mirror who had been with her since she was a child was a survivor of the Wizard Star, and he also personally taught her how to cast spells on the eco-ship.

The first spell that September learned was the love spell.

When Coyote Twelve proposed that September cast the spell on him and popular interstellar star Maria, he was ruthlessly rejected and was elbowed in the chest.

"Ms. Chenxi?"

Through a door, Coyote Twelve asked tentatively.

"it's me."

After the two confirmed the secret code with each other, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open from the outside.

The head of a beautiful witch floated into the room in an eerie manner.

"Oh my god, there's a ghost!"

Coyote Twelve's body trembled, and the operating system installed in his brain crashed for three seconds.

Only a few people who know him well know that this seemingly fearless cowboy also has weaknesses. He has no resistance to evil spirits.

Once, when Mockingbird pretended to be a ghost to scare him when he was drunk, he was so frightened that he accidentally set fire to a battleship.

"Keep your voice down!"

Chenxi glared at him fiercely and took off the cloak wrapped around her body in front of the two of them, and her body was revealed. "This is an invisibility cloak, Wizard Star technology."

After that, she handed over two identical cloaks to the two men.

Coyote Twelve put his cloak over his arm and gestured back and forth like a bumpkin, looking at the mechanical arm that appeared and disappeared, and let out a strange and low laugh.

The Third Prince could not bear to watch this. After all, Coyote Twelve was a member of the Fortress. This appearance really damaged their image. So he asked Chenxi to divert her attention, "Didn't you lead the survivors of the Wizarding Society to escape?"

"They have settled down. My intuition tells me that maybe you need help here."

Chenxi lowered his voice, "This is not the place to talk, put on your cloak and follow me."

The Third Prince and Coyote Twelve hurriedly did as they were told.

They thought of many ways to escape from the Holy Metropolis Cathedral, but they never expected that they would end up leaving from the front of the cathedral in front of the staff-bearing team.

However, the staff-bearing team did not have the extra energy to pay attention to their movements now, as the church hall was packed with people.

They were dressed in fancy clothes, had grim faces, and many of them looked like they had lost their patience.

Not long ago, the Pope summoned all the company executives and left them waiting here for nearly an hour.

Just when they could no longer endure it, an inquisitor came to meet them.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The Pope is ready to meet you."

He apologized to the senior executives and said, "Please follow me."
