    It¡¯s time for the gathering held every ten days at Dragon City Cathedral again.

    During the assembly, in addition to the lowest trainee priests, thousands of clergy in Dragon City will gather together to listen to the bishop convey the will of the Holy Light and assign the latest tasks in the magnificent cathedral.

    The power of the Holy Light Sect in Dragon City is very powerful. There are dozens of high-level professionals in the priest team alone. Among them, Archbishop Luo Wan is a high-level mid-level person who can be converted into a Nascent Soul.  There are another seven or eight people at the same level, and there are hundreds of mid-level professionals.  So many priests gathered together to sing psalms in praise of the Holy Light. The power of devout faith, guided by the bishop, would cause the Holy Light in the cathedral to rise into the sky, like a divine sword penetrating the heaven and earth.

    This scene happens every ten days, but every time it still makes people who see it fascinated.  This is a rule set by Archbishop Rowan decades ago. This daily ceremony must be used to continuously imprint the mark of the Holy Light on people's hearts.  As for the effect it can be seen from the number of believers that has increased tenfold in the past few decades.

    Wearing a gray robe, Peter has been busy since before dawn.

    As a mid-level pastor of the church, if placed in other places, he can already become the bishop of a small town with all the power. However, in the Longcheng Diocese, there are hundreds of clergy like him, and the mid-level pastor is nothing special.  .  But fortunately, he got the attention and respect of Archbishop Rowan, and he has a much brighter future than those with popular faces.

    That was probably ten years ago. By chance, the archbishop inspected the priests¡¯ dormitories.  Among the young priests, most of the dormitories were a mess. Peter was the only one who arranged everything in an orderly manner. This left a good impression on the archbishop. In the following years, he gradually assigned some trivial chores, and Peter could do it every time.  Beautiful, no omissions.

    So now, Peter is able to take charge of the meetings held every ten days.  It sounds simple, but it is also a test of ability to arrange thousands of people in an orderly manner. Peter started preparations with the servants in the cathedral before dawn, and finally arranged all the people one hour before the meeting started.  Work is ready.

    Then, he waited patiently for more and more priests to gather from all directions, waiting together for the arrival of the archbishop.  According to common sense, he would appear in the middle of the square, first chant hymns, inspire faith, inspire the holy light, and make the sword of holy light penetrate the sky.  After this ceremony, the work for the next ten days will be arranged.

    Peter stood next to the high platform where the archbishop was speaking, waiting quietly. However, until the time passed the agreed time, the archbishop still did not show up and was actually late.

    Peter was shocked. For decades, unless there was a special mission in the Holy City that kept the archbishop free, he had never been late for a meeting.  Could it be that¡­¡­

    Peter winked at a young priest behind him and asked him to go to the archbishop's bedroom to explore.  But before he finished assigning tasks, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the square was a little strange.

    Turning his head, Peter was surprised to find that the high platform where the Archbishop used to stand had an extra person at some point.

    A tall, thin man with a holy white robe. Surprisingly, the man's face was blank, with no facial features. He looked eerie and creepy.

    "who are you?"

    Peter immediately wanted to ask a question, but found that he could not open his mouth at all, let alone make a sound.

    ¡°Obviously, the same is true for other people in the square, otherwise someone should have come forward to question why this stranger is standing in the position of archbishop.

    "Quiet." The faceless man raised his hand, "I am the new chief referee appointed by the Holy City."

    Before anyone had time to question, the faceless man released a special holy light: "This is the proof of the Holy City

    Most of the thousands of people present had enough knowledge to recognize the emblem of the Holy City. After seeing that it was indeed issued by the Holy City, everyone relaxed their vigilance.  I just wonder in my heart, how come the tribunal, which has always been low-key and invisible, suddenly became so high-profile?

    In the past few decades, the judges of the Inquisition never attended the meeting.  More than 80% of these thousands of clergymen have never even met the chief judge, Count Conrad. It is even more unclear why the church suddenly changed the chief judge.

    "I know that many people are wondering why the referee changed from Conard to me, and why, as the leader of the shady organization of the referee, should I appear in a gathering of you, a group of upright people. To put it simply,  I am here with a sacred mission. I need to change the status quo of this city. Many old rules will be broken and new rules will be established."

    The Faceless Man said: "For example, from now on, I will replace the former Archbishop Luo Wan to exercise the power of diocese management. I hope you can cooperate with my work seriously."

    As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. As the great masterPeter, a close confidant of the church, was so surprised that he even dropped the scriptures he was holding to the ground.

    Replacing Archbishop Luo Wan to preside over the work?  What kind of number is this?  Luo Wan has been the administrator of Longcheng Diocese for more than thirty years. During this period, he has worked conscientiously and has never made any major omissions.  And now that he is old, most people think that he will stay in the position of archbishop until he retires - the senior clergy of the Holy Light Church are lifelong, so it means until death.  So, why did a new chief referee suddenly appear and take away Luo Wan's authority?  Moreover, even if you want to find someone to replace Luo Wan, he should be promoted from local priests.  There are more than ten or twenty senior priests in Longcheng who are eyeing the position of archbishop, and each of them has the capital to succeed.  At worst, the saints of the parish can be promoted, at least their popularity is strong enough.  And the tribunal, which has always walked in the shadows, why is it now jumping to the front?

    "Because there is no one available in the Longcheng diocese." The faceless man made a seemingly helpless move, "Your archbishop and saint turned to the enemy and rebelled. The Holy City believes that the clergy of the local diocese can no longer be trusted, so I am the only one left.  Come take control of everything.¡±

    Boom

    Like thunder on the ground, Peter felt dazed in front of his eyes and his heart was beating wildly.

    The archbishop and the saint turned to the enemy and rebelled?  This, how is this possible?  There must be some mistake somewhere

    Looking around, the people in the square were also in disbelief, and they all cast shocked looks.

    However, the Faceless Man even hesitated to give a further explanation and said to himself: "The rebellion of the two was caused by the conspiracy of Bedivere, the Lord of Dragon City. Bedivere was ambitious and tried to use top-down infiltration to destroy the Holy Spirit.  Fortunately, the saints of the Holy City knew everything about the power of the Light Sect in Dragon City and exposed his conspiracy in advance. Now that the two traitors have defected, we must bravely pursue the traitors and the mastermind Bedivere.  On the stake. Well, to put it simply, it is to launch a war against Dragon City."

    Launch a war against Dragon City?  Peter's heart was even tighter. The word war was already too far away for Pastor Longcheng.  Everyone knows that there may eventually be a battle between the Church and Dragon City, but everyone feels that at least they will not see that day

    "Well, war is something that needs to be done sooner rather than later. I think we have all the troops now, so we might as well set off now. Catch them off guard."

    Who was caught off guard?

    "However, so many people, if not commanded and coordinated properly, will become just a mob, so I have prepared a commander for you." The Faceless Man said, raising his hand, and hundreds of lights suddenly rose in the square in front of the cathedral.  A golden figure.

    Peter¡¯s eyes narrowed and he recognized those golden figures.

    "Archon of Light?"

    The puppet life form specially designed by the Holy Light Religion for the war against heretics has no real independent wisdom, but it has unparalleled war talents.  The Light Archon can establish spiritual links with dozens of priests through their common belief in the Holy Light, and then conduct precise command over each of them, skillfully grasping every detail of the battlefield, and is a natural war machine.

    This kind of puppet life form is extremely powerful in large-scale wars and is a rare super-level grassroots commander.  The Holy Light Religion has always regarded it as a trump card, and will only use it to deal with extremely tough opponents. Now it turns out that there are more than a hundred of them, which is no less than a holy war.

    "Relax your spirit. I have assigned your respective commanders to you. Then you only need to follow my orders. Dealing with heretics is very simple."

    The priests in the square were all surprised and confused. This morning, too many changes had taken place in a short period of time, which was overwhelming.  The faceless man's vigorous and decisive actions are too

    Peter, who was closest to the high platform, saw that no one was talking nearby. Thinking of the consequences of starting a war, he had to muster up the courage to say: "Master Magistrate, launching a holy war is of great importance, so we need to act with caution."

    Faceless Man: "Are you questioning my rashness?"

    "I don't dare, it's just that it's too sudden."

    "As the current manager of the Longcheng Diocese, with the authorization of the Holy City, I do not need to seek the opinions of anyone else to launch a holy war. As for whether it is sudden" The faceless man suddenly turned his head, "If it is not sudden, how can I let you guys  Did the spy inform you in advance?"

    Boom

    Facing that pale face, Peter felt that all the secrets in his heart had no way of hiding.

    Yes, he is indeed a nail placed in the church by Longcheng.  Dragon City and the Holy Light Sect have been dealing with each other for decades, and their mutual penetration has already reached a very high level.  As a close confidant of the archbishop, he is not the highest-ranking one.  The two forces have not had major friction for decades, and these nails have done a great job in mediating.  They don't need to step forward and make any big moves. They just need to add a little bit of effort somewhere in their daily operations without anyone noticing, and they can make things happen very quickly.??Changes, so their existence is also very hidden. For example, even the Archbishop did not realize that he was actually connected to Dragon City.

    However, now, his identity has been revealed by an outside referee.

    ?Boundless fear fell from the sky and enveloped my mind.

    "Well, in short, since a war is about to begin, let's clean up the traitors first."

    The faceless man waved his hand, and in an instant, Peter felt a heat on his head, as if he heard a crisp explosion, and knew nothing else.

    At the same time, hundreds of flowers of blood bloomed on the heads of people in the square.
