The Original Vampire - Chapter 677
Royal Dragon City, Holy Light Cathedral.
After the morning prayer, the nobles left the prayer hall one after another.
After the crowd had dispersed, Cardinal Mensay walked towards Pope Gregory.
“When will you be back?” Gregory asked as he motioned for Mensay to follow him out.
“Your Majesty, I came back yesterday. Because it was too late, I didn’t disturb your rest.” Mensayi replied respectfully.
Gregory nodded, but did not speak again. It was not until the two walked out of the prayer hall and came to the secluded courtyard that he asked again:
“How’s the situation? How did I hear that a squad of orcs attacked Winterspring?”
“Everything is going well, Your Majesty.” Mensay said with a smile, “Colin Angele has been controlled by Prince Leahy. As for the orc team, it was indeed an accident, but it did not cause anything to our plan. influence.”
“That’s good.” Pope Gregory nodded with satisfaction, but then he was still puzzled, “However, how could this orc team just happen to attack Winterspring?”
“Maybe it’s a coincidence?”
“Coincidence?” Gregory didn’t seem satisfied with the answer.
Seeing this, Mensayi quickly comforted:
“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry. The number of this orc squad is not large, only about four or five hundred. It is estimated that the orc deserters scattered from the front line of the Loire Valley to the rear.
Moreover, the Duke of Saint Landes and the Knights of Sparton have already gone to the Loire Valley camp, and they will each mobilize 5,000 troops and horses to retreat to encircle and suppress this orc team.
There must be good news coming back soon. ”
“Well.” Although Gregory still had doubts in his heart, he couldn’t think of the reason why the orcs suddenly appeared in Winterspring, so he had to regard it as a coincidence.
After walking for a while, Gregory asked again:
“What is the opinion of the royal family on the disposal of Colin Angele?”
Mensay’s eyes flashed slightly, and then he replied:
“Your Majesty, the royal family is still a little worried that rashly killing Colin Angele will lead to a mutiny in the army of the North, or even greater turmoil… After all, this person has just commanded the victory of the Loire Valley, and his reputation is growing…”
Gregory interrupted impatiently: “Then what are they going to do with it?”
Mensay lowered his voice and said:
“Your Majesty, Consul Fred hopes to deprive Colin Angele of the command of the Imperial Coalition Forces through legal procedures, and make Prince Leahy the Commander of the Coalition Forces, responsible for military operations to recover the Western Frontier.
In this way, Prince Lehi can take the opportunity to arrange the northern army to carry out the most difficult and dangerous tasks, consume the strength of the northern region, and wait until the orcs are completely driven back to the west of the Tianduan Mountains, and the empire will no longer have any external troubles. Angela goes to trial.
At that time, even if the northern lords are dissatisfied with the trial, they will not dare to mess with their strength. ”
After hearing this, Gregory thought for a while, then nodded and said:
“Fred’s plan is indeed more secure, but if you want to deprive Colin Angle of the power of the commander of the coalition, you need the permission of the emperor… But Reinhardt the Great is dead, and the successor Prince Harrison is Colin. ·Angel’s students.
And, as far as I know, Prince Harrison has a lot of respect for Colin, and it’s not easy to get him to obey…”
Mensay laughed:
“Your Majesty, Prince Harrison is just a fourteen-year-old child, how much opinion can he have? With a little provocation and guidance, we can naturally turn his admiration for Colin Angele into resentment.”
After a pause, Mensay’s tone became cold again:
“Of course, if this kid is really stubborn, then we can still use intimidation and other means… Anyway, Yulong City is under our control, and with the cooperation of Archon Fred and Prince Leahy, there is no way we can’t make it. Let a fourteen-year-old give in.”
Gregory nodded thoughtfully and said:
“I know.”
After he finished speaking, he strode out, and at the same time instructed the attendant:
“Prepare the frame, I’m going to the Phoenix Palace.”
Mensay watched Gregory’s retreating back quietly, his eyes deep.
…
But it is said that Pope Gregory came all the way to the Phoenix Palace.
Before entering the hall, I saw two royal knights walking out of the hall holding Princess Judy.
Princess Judy was obviously reluctant to do this, and was struggling constantly, shouting:
“Let go of me! You let me go! Brother! You can’t do this! Brother…”
Gregory thought that the siblings were having a fight, but he didn’t care about it. He turned around and entered the hall.
“His Royal Highness Harrison.”
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry for making you see a joke.” Prince Harrison was drunk, looking like he had just drank a lot, and explained in a muffled voice, “Judy is going to the front line to avenge her father, I can only ask People put her in confinement…”
Gregory smiled slightly and comforted: “Her Royal Highness is also a filial piety, and I hope you can persuade patiently. Of course, I am very sorry for Her Majesty’s heroic sacrifice, and I wish you condolences.”
Prince Harrison nodded, and his eyes turned red again, but he still held back the tears and asked:
“Your Majesty, what’s the matter with you coming to see me this time?”
Pope Gregory sighed and said with consideration:
“His Royal Highness Harrison, in fact, I’m here this time for your father’s death…”
“What? Is there anything hidden behind my father’s death?”
“His Royal Highness, I don’t know if you have carefully read the battle report of the battle of the Loire Valley, but there are indeed many strange things. For example, why did the Central Army suffer the most casualties, and why did your father get injured like this? It’s so heavy that it can even kill you…”
Prince Harrison’s eyes narrowed, he took a few steps closer to Gregory, and asked in a deep voice:
“Your Majesty, what are you trying to say?”
“What I want to say is, don’t forget who was in command of the battle of the Loire Valley? And after His Majesty died in battle and the Central Army was crippled, who would benefit the most…”
Prince Harrison’s breathing gradually became heavier, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He approached Gregory slowly, and seemed to have been persuaded…
Suddenly, he staggered under his feet, as if he couldn’t stand still because of drunkenness.
Gregory reached out to help subconsciously:
“Be careful, Your Highness…”
Chi!
Gregory only felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and then he realized that it was not good, but just as he was about to break free, Prince Harrison had already pounced on him like a hungry wolf.
“You… ah! Ah…”
A knife, UU reading www.uukanshu. com one knife, another knife.
Prince Harrison rode on Gregory and kept stabbing his dagger in the chest like crazy.
Gregory cried out a few times, but there was no movement outside the hall. Obviously, this was a premeditated assassination!
The guards had already been called away.
Gregory struggled again to get the golden horn from his waist, but he couldn’t hold on to the moment when the horn sounded.
The spokesperson of the gods, the leader of the church, and the seventeenth Pope of the Radiance Empire, Gregory, died in such a useless way at the hands of a fourteen-year-old prince.
