Huh? Are they all real?...

After repeatedly confirming my plan.

This storm marked the beginning of the most daring and radical gambler in the history of the Church, who embarked on a high-stakes gamble where he risked everything.

He first summoned his three knight commanders and seven bishops.

During the reign of Richard the Lionheart, the defensive forces of the holy city of Camelot were naturally mainly composed of the Knights of the Round Table and the Army of the Round Table.

But ever since they successfully expelled those outdated and conservative Knights of the Round Table.

The military defense of the Holy City was then taken over by the newly formed church army.

Aside from the basic Guardians of the Faith, the main force consisted of the twelve Knight Orders. In the beginning, both the Guardians of the Faith, which had the largest number of members, and the twelve Knight Orders, which had the best combat strength, were the main force.

They are all subject only to the Pope.

The College of Cardinals has no authority over them whatsoever.

However, over the years, through the open and covert struggles between successive popes and the College of Cardinals, the situation has changed.

Within Camelot, the Pope only had one knightly order that he could fully control.

The remaining friars and knightly orders were divided among the College of Cardinals.

Göring was the one who took over all the power of the First Cardinal of Moss.

They commanded three full knightly orders, plus the friars of the faith each under the control of seven other bishops.

Although overall it still can't compare to the rest, the rest aren't a monolithic entity either!

They are all forces from different factions.

The more Göring thought about it, the more he realized that his plan, his ambition, was very likely to succeed.

So when the people he called all rushed over.

Göring then clapped his hands and closed the door.

Then, amidst their strange looks, he said to them:

"Gentlemen, I promised you that I would bring you a future even better than Cardinal Moss described."

"And now, it's time for me to deliver on my promise."

Those two sentences were enough to make the eyes of the ten people below light up.

Good news came so quickly?!

But immediately, they heard Göring say to them:

"I will use force to eliminate those who oppose me, and then I will take direct control of the entire Holy City. At that time, I will share the entire Camelot and the Church of Storms equally with you all!"

In short, it made the people below suddenly stand up.

"Are you crazy?"

A bishop blurted out those words without thinking.

Göring glared at him fiercely.

Those fierce, wolf-like eyes immediately made the other person freeze in place, too intimidated to speak further.

"What do you mean 'crazy'? I'm not crazy. Two cardinals are dead, and the entire church is in a state of panic. Our Pope, His Holiness the Pope who should be the one to stand up and lead us through this crisis, has been locking himself in that great hall."

"You should all know that we can't count on the Pope, so what about the rest of them? We can't count on those good-for-nothings either!"

"Only with me, only by believing in me and following me, can you safely overcome this current difficulty and obtain far more benefits than you have now."

The crowd's surprise gradually subsided, but they still remained silent.

Goering wasn't in a hurry. As long as no one slammed the door and left immediately, he had already won half the battle.

How could someone who has already formed a faction simply extricate themselves from it?

He raised his head, smiled, and looked at the ten people below, saying:

"No one expected us to dare to do this, so we are sure to win. Then you will be the new cardinals, patriarchs, and great knights."

He shouted the last three titles higher and higher, and the crowd's breathing became heavier and heavier with each shout.

They are still quite far from those locations!

Noticing this, Göring laughed:

"Yes, you heard me right, so are you coming?"

The crowd's breathing became more rapid, and their gazes changed. Goring took in all of this with great satisfaction.

That guy's methods are really effective.

Meanwhile, others below also expressed the same questions and concerns as him:

"But this is a rebellion! If we fail, we'll be sent to the Inquisition!"

Good heavens, it's exactly what I said.

This almost identical performance made Göring laugh.

Then, he pointed repeatedly to the sky above his head and shouted:

"Failure is rebellion, success is reform!"

Göring knew all too well how much appeal this statement carried for people like them.

So when he shouted those words out loud.

The crowd below erupted in cheers.

-

By the afternoon of the third day.

As the sun's rays gradually painted the sky red.

Before nightfall and the two moons take over the sky.

Several invitations from Göring were then sent out.

The First City Defense Commander of the Papal Army, responsible for the defense of Camelot's inner city this quarter; the Third and Sixth Cardinals in charge of the two major armories in the southeast; the Grand Master of the Eighth Knights, who is on duty to defend the Great Cathedral of Camelot; and the Grand Master of the First Knights, directly under the Pope.

They were all obstacles to Göring's success.

Therefore, he wants to eliminate the other party directly.

His biggest advantage is that the other party will not expect him to do anything crazy.

Therefore, when faced with his invitation at this time, they would certainly assume that he wanted to talk about something.

For example, things like recruitment.

So they will definitely come!

Sure enough, when Göring's invitation arrived...

Although the five people had different expressions, they all accepted the invitation.

Then the First Knights Commander left in a carriage.

Having witnessed all of this, Goring turned to Moen and said:

"So, you really can kill the Pope?"

Moen nodded and said:

"The Pope will definitely die."

Göring asked with utmost seriousness:

"How are you going to deal with the Pope's necklace? It's the greatest asset of all the Popes throughout history, and the greatest treasure of the entire Storm Church today."

The source of the power of the Hearts of Seven necklace, crafted by the Lionheart himself and bestowed upon the first Pope, remains a mystery to this day.

It is said to be a secret passed down orally from one pope to another.

However, people are clear about one thing: this necklace, called the Seven Stone Heart, possesses incredible power.

It is a treasure specially crafted for mortals by Lionheart, who spent his entire life fighting evil, out of concern that the higher orders might fall back into corruption.

This was to avoid the predicament of ordinary people having no one to rely on after he left.

But it's quite obvious that the legacy of the king has been abused.

That became the foundation of the Pope's power and authority, and the basis upon which the Church oppressed mortals.

Regarding this question, Moen paused for a moment before looking up at Goring and saying:

“The necklace is not the problem. What you need to make sure of is that I can face the Pope alone.”

After Göring nodded, he said:

"The Pope has been locking himself in that great hall, the throne room with the round table. I can't let you in directly because I can't transfer the First Knights directly under the Pope. I can only help you deal with their commander."

"However, this is a detailed map of the interior of the Great Cathedral and their rotation schedule. It not only marks the routes inside the Great Cathedral, but also accurately identifies every sentry post and defense ritual."

"The methods for dealing with the rituals and today's slogans are all written on it."

A scroll was handed to Moen by Goring.

"Then, I certainly can't help you deal with the knight outside the gate, but I can give you this."

Goring took out a dark blue talisman.

"That door is an impregnable barrier protecting the throne; even angels couldn't break through it. And this is the key to open it!"

Chapter 299 Chaos in the Holy City

Looking at the scroll and talisman in his hand, Moen revealed an extremely satisfied smile.

This was the main reason he found Göring.

All of this could only be obtained by someone of his rank in the church.

Without the scroll, Moen wouldn't even be able to walk halfway through the sanctuary.

Without the token, Moen could only stare helplessly at the solid wall.

Indeed, Camelot was the palace of the Lionheart.

Moen even knew how many secret passages there were and where they led.

But in that case, the one who killed the Pope would be the return of the Lionheart, a mortal who could never replicate his legacy, rather than the mortals represented by Moen.

Goring might even directly disrupt the entire Camelot.

His reason for agreeing to this was not because of royal command or divine will, but simply because Moen had stirred his desires.

Admittedly, even so, the path Moen took is a miracle that is difficult to replicate.

But, as Mohn said to the mayor.

Why would killing a villain of this caliber be so easy?

Moen never imagined that anyone could replicate his path or achieve the same miracle.

Moen just wants people to see and know that someone else in your group succeeded!

So why can't you give it a try?

And why don't you think they could kill you?

The pyramid structure of this world is something that even Moen cannot change.

But Moen can also try to make the situation a little better.

Otherwise, things will remain the same as before.

He came, and everything became better.

He's gone, and everything is over.

So, Moen wanted to give it a try this time, not just because he had promised the child.

Even if this is likely still a futile effort

Moen, having carefully put away the talismans and scrolls, said:

"Don't worry, the Pope will die no matter what."
