Chapter 137 – 137 – Hyde Excommunicates Cusan at the Council of Priests #2

137 – Hyde excommunicates Cusan at the Council of Priests #2

Before dinner time, the priests of Barakhan put up a poster.

It was a story of officially dismissing Kusan’s advisors.

People cheered loudly at this poster.

“I don’t have to see girls who aren’t even virgins bragging about it, trusting that guy Kusan!”

“I feel refreshed inside!”

This was a passage that showed how severe the tyranny and exploitation of the advisors was.

Archbishop Hugo also clapped loudly and was delighted.

“It’s finally getting back to normal! Kahaha! Priest Hyde, you are more resourceful than I heard! As you said, let’s contact Medici and hold a council as soon as possible!”

A conference where all bishops with silver medals or higher gather.

The holding of a council, which will be held to determine the policies of all priests and theologically important directions, is not far away.

Zek-.

Archbishop Hugo took out a document from a drawer and stamped the paper! After he had taken the picture, he called his servant and said, “Tell Archibald.”

“Ruler. Now it is only a matter of time before the council is held. Hyde. You will face Kusan head-on. “Through discussion, winners and losers will be decided through voting, right?”

“That’s right. The priests will each receive one vote and a winner will be chosen, but in reality, it is a meaningless process. Because I will win.”

I was the type of person who was completely self-made under the providence of Lord Elohim.

If an orphan like Kusan, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and I, who have been through all kinds of hardships before birth, were to face each other in the same place, it would be natural for me to win overwhelmingly.

Soon Archbishop Hugo was rummaging through his office drawers and laughing.

“Did you say that the theme of this council was ‘Weapons’? Hyde. You made a mistake. Kusan has extensive knowledge and talent when it comes to weapons. This is the new weapon he will announce.”

Crunch-.

Archbishop Hugo placed a device that appeared to be approximately 1 meter long on the table.

“It’s a crossbow device developed by Kusan and his knights in Barakhan. It is the latest weapon developed by the Rose Knights of Naive through torturing and interrogating Psycoz heretics.”

Zek-.

Girik, Girik, Girik-.

“If you just load it using a tool like this…”

Hugo loaded the bolt into his crossbow and aimed it at the iron armor in front of him.
Paaang-!

The string that was pulled with all its might exerted strong tension and fired a sharp bolt.

It easily pierced the steel armor commonly worn by knights, and its destructive power surprised Lucy and Miss Watson, who had been dozing off.

“Hi!”

“Ying… !?”

Lucy and Watson looked around and touched the pierced iron plate.

“It’s like an arrow shot by magic… !”

“Kyuiing…”

Hugo saw that and laughed.

“It’s exhilarating power! It’s a weapon powerful enough to pierce the iron plates of knights without the use of magic or aura! Training is easier than that of archers. Even priests like me can handle it easily!”

The iron plate armor of knights was equivalent to the armor of tanks in the Middle Ages.

The knights wrapped in iron are truly a symbol of fear and powerlessness.

A weapon that can pierce the armor of such people has been developed─.

“The battlefield will change greatly in the future. War as we know it may now disappear from the world.”

I also knew well about the power of the crossbow.

About a year ago now.

When we were making various efforts to invade the castle, the priests of Barakhan came out with crossbows and began to use them wildly.

When I thought about that time, I felt dizzy in many ways, but—.

“What. Great. In that case, I will also send a letter to the Agarpe family. I hope the council will be held when people from the Agarpe family arrive.”

# # #

“Load! Fire!”

Pew pew pew pew-.

Papa papapa papapapot-!

Training of crossbow soldiers was in full swing at Barakhan.

Among the crossbowmen, there were ordinary people and many priests who had never held a weapon.

“What the. Priests who had never held a sword in their lives stabbed the hearts of bronze knights through their iron plates. I don’t like it.”

“It looks like we’ll act as a shield for the crossbowmen.”

Tsk-.

Knights of the Knights Templar clicking their tongues.

They seemed offended that their armor, which symbolized their authority and pride, could be easily broken like parchment being pierced by a sword.

“Hey. Many wizards joined the queen’s army. “I don’t like it, but I need a weapon like that to deal with them.”

“Is this an achievement of King Kusan?”

Barakhan, whose advisors had been noisy, was gradually finding a stable atmosphere as time passed.

It seems that the resentment and anger towards Kusan is gradually recovering due to the “Crossbow” He released.

“Hyde. Can I really overcome Cushan and become Pope at the Council? I don’t know anything about weapons and I don’t know much about war…”

Parr-.

Lucy seemed anxious about the whole situation.

Miss Watson, who follows Lucy, also says, “Kyuiing…” “He made an anxious sound.

But the good news was that there were people who did not lose confidence even in this situation.

It was me!

Even if everyone else was anxious, as long as I was confident, it was enough!

“Just trust me. Miss Lucy. I am a person who never breaks my promises. Whatever I say I can do, it goes without saying. That’s how it is.”

Kuwoouk-.

Soon Lucy seemed to gain courage from my story.

“Then I’ll do what I can too!”

Lucy was a very kind-hearted person.

Lucy and Watson helped with odd jobs toward the hospital beds of the poor who were isolated from society, or carried stones at a construction site.

Seeing that, people were greatly impressed and impressed.

“It’s like seeing Pope Gregory when he was younger.”

“Indeed, their hearts deserve to be called the three flowers of the kingdom.”

“The wife next to me, Ying Yaing, is also nice.”

People liked Lucy and Watson.

It was strange that there were beautiful girls who helped people, but there were people who didn’t like them.

Anyway-.

With that feeling, about a week passed quickly.

And he arrived in Barakhan.

“Father-in-law. “It’s been a while.”

He was the Count of Dovan.

Doban frowned slightly as he looked at the priests and walls of Barakhan.

It was probably because for him, Barakhan was not a very welcoming place.

“The last time I was here, I had to bring a humiliating surrender letter to the cult. It wasn’t a place I really wanted to come to. Son-in-law. Hyde. “I came here at your request.”

“Very good. So, did you bring what I asked for?”

“Ah. If that’s the case─. I brought it. Even so, I couldn’t sleep for days because of it. But I… I really don’t know if this is a good thing.”

Doban seemed a little worried.

As an experienced count, he probably fully understands how much trouble the events that will take place at the council will cause to the world.

Dovan seemed to be about to say something, but then he closed his mouth and slowly looked at Barakhan.
I took my craftsman Doban on a tour around Barakhan, and after looking at Barakhan for about half a day, Doban gave a light review.

“This and that is clumsy. In the end, is Barakhan without Pope Gregory this much? Gregory. Although he was a person I personally did not like, he was truly a strong leader. He was talented.”

Dovan, who had directly confronted Pope Gregory, seemed to have noticed that Pope Gregory’s position was greatly vacated.

Certainly, Barakhan is a ragtag bunch these days.

But that too will change today.

“Archbishop Archibald Medici.”

We visited the offices of the archbishops.

Doban stretched out his hand toward the Medici Archvolt, who had arrived first, and the Medici Archvolt also grabbed Doban’s outstretched hand.

“Count Dovan Agarpe.”

The two men were speechless over that.

I don’t know if it was because there was no need to say anything or because he didn’t want to say anything else.
In the first place, these two were opposites who fought in D’Urgien with swords pointed at each other’s throats, so it would be natural for them to feel awkward if they were together in the same place.

Fortunately, Medici Archibald was a man with excellent management skills.

He spoke to Doban first.

“Your daughter and my daughter are being held hostage together in the royal capital? We must hope that the outcome of this council is good. The fate of the daughters depends on Hyde.”

“Well, I think my son-in-law will do something. My son-in-law may seem incompetent, but he is a very great man. My daughter Psyche would choose me as her husband!”

Doban seemed very proud of his daughter Psyche.

If I had a daughter like Psyche, I would feel proud every day.

Chuck-.

Count Dovan puts his hand on my shoulder.

“Hyde. My son-in-law Whatever the outcome of this council, remember that the Agarpe family is your hometown and family. We will have your back and protect you.”

Agarpe is a great nobleman even though he has fallen.

It was also a powerful story to know that such people were my family and fully supported me.

“Then let’s go. Miss Lucy. Are you okay?”

“I’m so nervous! I also have to give a speech! What should I say? Will people recognize me as Pope? “I don’t know!”

Lucy seemed very scared and trembled.

Doban was impressed when he saw Lucy like that.

“Is she Gregory’s daughter? The pink hair looks a lot like him. Their personalities don’t seem to be similar at all, though. If she were a lady, she would be friendly. I also received many letters from Psyche about her young lady.”

Doban was a man with good sense.

It seemed like he sensed that Lucy was a trustworthy person.

However, Medici’s opinion was different.

“Rather, her personality resembles Gregory. There was a time when he was so cheerful and innocent. No, he was pure until the end. “I admired Gregory for that.”

“That old raccoon was innocent? Medici. “I’ve felt this since I was young, but you and I are not of the same opinion.”

Zek-.

Dovan’s eyes now looked at Miss Watson.

Perhaps surprised by the lion-looking count staring at him, Watson hid behind Lucy and said, “Gyu, Gyuiing…” .” He groaned.

Soon Doban laughed.

“Thorin is an old friend of mine. Even though she’s an enemy now. Is she the wayward daughter of Thorin? “It’s a pity that she got ‘Ying-ying-yaing disease’ because of that mean Rust guy.”

“Ying yaing.”

A hectic atmosphere in many ways.

I applauded to attract attention.

“Ruler. Now, let us head to the Great Hall of the Holy See, where the Council will be held. I dare say that today will change the history of the United Kingdom!”

Kii Iik-.

We finally opened the door to the conference hall.

There were more than a hundred priests sitting there, and King Kusan arrived first and opened his arms toward us.

“Welcome. Priest Hyde. I also praise you for not running away.”

“It’s my story to tell. Kusan. “I assure you, you will be excommunicated as of today.”
