Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1565 1560: Red Archbishop

The vivid red, in the Holy Land of the Church, those qualified to wear the red robe, aside from the Cardinals, are only the more powerful Red Archbishops!The Cardinals are the core strength of the Holy See, but the real power players are the few Red Archbishops!

Above the Red Archbishops is the spiritual leader of the Holy See, the Pope.

Within the Holy See, the Pope holds the highest authority, but is not without checks and balances.

The Cardinal Council is composed of seven Red Archbishops.

If four out of the seven Red Archbishops in the Cardinal Council deem the Pope incompetent, there is a chance to depose the Pope.

This has indeed existed in the history of the Holy See.

But without exception, it led to turmoil and instability in the Holy See.

To become Pope indicates that one's ability in dealing with people and various capabilities have reached the pinnacle.

They have gained the recognition of everyone in the Holy See.

Moreover, the Pope is almost always elected from among the Cardinals, so they naturally wouldn't slap themselves in the face.

And those who serve as Red Archbishops are often older Cardinals, some being elders of the previous generation of the Pope, others contemporaries of the Pope, but current Pope's junior successors.

But coincidentally, wonderful people and events always exist, and some exceptions will always be made for special people.

Back to the topic, walking into Nock's sight is a Cardinal, or more precisely, a Red Archbishop who holds a seat in the Cardinal Council.

"Child of the Lord, may I ask why you appear here?" The old voice doesn't make one uncomfortable, but rather brings a unique warmth and comfort.

Seeing this Red Archbishop in front of him, Nock's tense mood relaxed immediately: "Father, it's you."

It can be seen that the relationship between this Red Archbishop and Nock is quite deep.

"Child of the Lord, you have not yet answered my question." The old man's voice, though gentle and calm, contained undeniable authority.

Nock didn't feel a strong pressure or aura.

His mindset gradually relaxed, and he began to tell the old man about his experiences.

However, this Red Archbishop had lived for many years and had extensive life experience.

As soon as he heard Nock start, he knew something was fishy.

Sure enough, after learning that Nock and others had intruded into the Nopheler Family, one of the Bloodline's Thirteen Clans, he couldn't help but let out a cold humph.

This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface; the information Nock and his team received must be problematic, someone must have done this intentionally.

And the purpose is precisely to put Nock to death!

Nock was his chosen successor, as well as the leader selected by their faction.

Now, Nock is still a fragile little seedling, not yet fully grown. If he were thus extinguished, choosing and cultivating a new successor would take unknown amounts of effort.

The Red Archbishop, Homanfu, who had cultivated patience for many years, felt anger for the first time, an extreme provocation!

But fortunately, he had left a backup plan, imprinting Nock with a space transfer mark.

This might also be one of the benefits and conveniences of being a Red Archbishop.

Aside from the Pope, each of the seven Red Archbishops has three opportunities to imprint transfer marks on others.

This is something that can be crucial in saving lives at critical moments.

It was precisely because of the space transfer mark on Nock that he managed to escape from the Nopheler Family Castle.

However, there are ways to prevent the use of space transfers, but it requires setting up obstacles and restrictions in advance. Obviously, the Nopheler Family did not possess such means, or rather, did not expect anyone would perform a space transfer.

"This matter won't just rest like this." Homanfu Red Archbishop's voice was icy cold.

Homanfu was certainly not a kind soul; anyone who could reach his current position must have some shrewd means and scheming, or they'd have perished in some ditch long ago.

Nock being deliberately conspired against had already harmed the overall interests of their faction, and he needed to discuss with other members of the faction.

It's worth mentioning that Homanfu's faction was not part of the Royalist Party and did not align with the Pope.

On the other side, in a seemingly dim room, a few slightly sinister and secretive figures quietly gathered: "Archbishop, the matter has been handled; the person should be dead."

That figure, with his back to the others, moved slightly: "Are you sure they're dead?"

His voice was calm, as if there was no fluctuation at all.

"The information I gave them was that the opponent was from two small families, but due to the luck of having a Marquis-strength Vampire, they intended to resurrect a Middle Ages Vampire Duke. With Bro's temperament, he would certainly take people to hunt without hesitation and wouldn't notify other members of the Heresy Court…"

The person spoke with confidence because his true identity was indeed one of the Deacons of the Heresy Court…

Bro was his biggest competitor, so he obviously understood Bro well.

"Hmm, make sure this is done perfectly, leaving no evidence, or else not only you, but even I will suffer!" The owner of that voice was unprecedentedly serious.

"Yes!" The Heresy Court Deacon speaking trembled all over and quickly responded.

"You've done well in this matter; in a while, I will recommend you to Justice Chief Eusylis to become the new Deputy Director of the Heresy Court." That figure said nonchalantly.

But these words greatly excited the person below: "Praise the Lord, praise Lord Argi, I will certainly strive to serve you, and serve the church…"

However, he didn't notice the trace of cold glint in the eyes of the Red Archbishop Argi, whom he called his lord, beneath the cloak.

His fate was already sealed!

Argi Red Archbishop, like Homanfu, was one of the Seven Red Archbishops in the Cardinal Council.

But they belonged to two different factions.

Argi Red Archbishop represented the Revival faction; they were fervent believers, and as the prophecy of the Lord's advent drew closer, the activities of the Revival faction grew more frequent.

They also contacted the representatives of the Neutral faction, like Homanfu, several times.

But Homanfu and others offered no response to Argi and his group's rhetoric.

And simply relying on the two Red Archbishops of the Revival faction, there's no way they could overturn the decision of the current Pope in the Holy See.

For in the Holy See's current lineup of seven Red Archbishops, three are staunch followers of the Pope, also known as the famed Royalist Party; two are Red Archbishops of the Revival faction led by Argi, and the remaining represent the neutral faction with Homanfu as a leader.
