Chapter 562 Lack of food, then borrow some from your old boss

   After one year and three months, the expeditionary force was finally successfully formed, which was exhausting for the Pope.

  The main reason is that the two bishops of trial and precepts are too slow, and he also tried to physically destroy the two bishops during this period, so as to force them to withdraw from the church center.

  The result is naturally a failure, the reason is nothing more than the fact that there are spies from two factions inside.

   If this move is successful, there is no problem. The only difference is that he failed, and he was also backlashed by the two archbishops and the forces under his command, which made the offensive against him even more violent after the two sides formed an alliance.

   Now that the Expeditionary Army has been reorganized, but the power is not in his hands alone. He was divided into two-thirds by the two archbishops of Judgment and Commandment, and instead suppressed him in an all-round way.

   Fortunately, he still has the Guardian Knights in his hand, and the two sides are evenly matched. This makes the originally excellent situation, but because of a failed plan, all the games are lost.

This situation is also normal, you are going to kill them, you can't say that they can't resist and let you kill them, so this is a gamble, the two archbishops of judgment and commandment won in the end, and he will naturally have to bear it if he loses cost.

   Fortunately, the expeditionary force was successfully formed. Otherwise, not only was he seized power but the formation was not successful, then his loss would be immeasurable.

  The biggest loss is naturally the death of Bishop Rust and Grand Knight Hicks.

  As early as half a year ago, he sent people to the Thorn Lion to investigate the situation one after another, but none of the people he sent to come back.

   "My lord Pope, the latest information, the original Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has started recruiting students again." A bishop hurried over and put the information on the Pope's desk.

   This made the Pope even more troublesome.

  Since the last attack failed, the two archbishops had broken with him, and they had long stopped discussing matters with him, for fear that they would kill the two of them again.

   "Any clues?" Pope asked.

   It would be a good thing for him if he could destroy this so-called Witchcraft Academy and then seize its various resources. At least he could win back some bishops who belonged to him through this hand, so as to strengthen his momentum.

   "No, but don't worry, no one has accepted the invitation of this college this time, and they will definitely not be able to recruit anyone this time." The bishop said vowedly, obviously he did not understand what the Pope meant.

  In this regard, the Pope still prefers Rust. Although he is greedy, he can understand his thoughts, so he can become a confidant.

   "Well, very good, remember to give some necessary rewards to these families who have resisted the temptation of the devil, and issue a circular to praise this character." Seeing this, the Pope could only speak like this.

   Otherwise, what else can I do? Obviously, the other party is not someone who can know any clues.

"Yes, Pope." The bishop was also a little surprised when he heard this, and then continued: "Pope, this college was opened by the devil, and the expeditionary force has been successfully formed, why don't we purify it first? This academy is the first battle of the expeditionary force."

  The Pope was speechless after hearing this. You don’t even have a clue, and you want the expeditionary army to mobilize troops. So where is this going?

  Anyway, you have to know where his family is. If you don’t know anything, how dare you make such an opinion.

"I know, I'll think about it." The Pope's words meant that he refused very tactfully. After the two archbishops rose up, the Pope was no longer as domineering as before, but restrained. Get up, and use this to do superficial work.

  As soon as this remark came out, the bishop was also delighted. In his opinion, the Pope had a probability of agreeing, so this matter could become a piece of information and a bargaining chip.

   Naturally, after another compliment, the other party left.

   "Idiot!" The Pope cursed secretly, but he didn't dare to speak directly, mainly because he was afraid of destroying the internal peace.

   "My dear Pope, it seems that you are not doing well these days when I am away."

  Suddenly, a familiar but creepy female voice suddenly rang in his ears.

  At that moment, the Pope's hairs stood on end, and he stood up abruptly to avoid it, waiting for another look.

   He saw a familiar woman standing behind his seat at some point, and that look made him terrified.

   "Who are you?" The pope looked gloomy. He suspected that this woman was an assassin sent by the two archbishops. He had probably been lurking in since last night, waiting to attack him when there was no one around.

   "Pontiff, you actually forgot me. This really makes me so sad." The other party seemed to be crying, but this action showed his full figure.

  The figures of women appeared in the pope's mind. He didn't remember that he had a dewy relationship with this woman. After all, how could he forget such a beautiful woman.

   Fortunately, his eyes were not covered by beauty, but he walked to the door cautiously.

  He doesn't care who the other party is, his own life is the most important thing.

But when his hand touched the doorknob and was about to pull it away and run wildly, he found a weak and boneless hand holding his hand, and the cold feeling made his heart go cold as well. down.

   "I am Rust, Rust Rose Eagle."

  The woman's voice came again, this time lying next to his ear, and the heat came from his ear, which did not make the pope recover, but a nameless fear surged up instead.

   "Impossible! Rust is dead, in the collar of the Thorn Lion."

  Under extreme fear, when the Pope turned around, he drew out the gorgeous dagger hidden in his arms without hesitation. With his roar, the dagger was unsheathed and pierced into the chest of the woman who called himself Rust.

  The blood burst out suddenly, splashing the Pope all over.

  The difference is that it is not bright red, but green and crystal clear.

The smell of blood like ore poured into the pope's nostrils, and he couldn't help but take three steps back, only to realize that Rust didn't respond at all, but slowly pulled out the dagger that pierced her chest .

   "You are afraid, my dear Pope." After Rust pulled out the dagger, he squeezed it into an iron ball with a light pinch.

  The green blood on the chest flowed on the ground, forming a long winding snake.

   "What do you want to do." The Pope knew that the other party's injury was definitely an illusion, and the dagger could be easily squeezed into a ball, so how could he really hurt her.

   At this time, he also vaguely agreed in his heart that this woman was Rust. After the other party reminded him, he was able to see the lines of the original male from the general outline.

  Just judging from the behavior of the other party, his temperament has already changed drastically, and he is no different from a woman. He even feels that the person in front of him may not be a person, but some kind of monster.

   "It's just that I haven't seen the Pope for a long time, so I came to see you. Pope, your attitude really makes me feel sad."

   "So sad that I want to rub the Pope into my body."

   Rust's tone was very charming, but every move made the Pope feel chills. He had no idea what kind of torture Rust had suffered to become like this.

   One thing is certain, there is no ambiguity in what the other party said about rubbing into the body, it means literally.

  However, the other party has not yet made a move, which made the Pope secretly relieved. As long as he does not do it immediately, it means that there is still something to talk about.

   After talking, maybe I can still master such a weird power.

  He didn't think it was the power of wizards. If wizards really had this kind of power, how could the so-called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft secretly recruit students, and they would have attacked the Church of Dawn with great fanfare.

   "Tell me, what can I do for you." After forcing himself to calm down, the pope could only speak.

"Pope, you are really unreasonable." Rust said with some resentment. The Pope also felt a little disgusted. Don't look at the other person who is beautiful now, but the former is a fat man with big ears. , it is really unacceptable to the Pope.

   "I heard that the church's expeditionary force has been formed, right?"

  Rust approached in an instant, and the Pope instinctively wanted to push away, but found that he couldn't push.

   "That's right, it's just that I am not the only one in the expeditionary force." He didn't know what Rust and the people behind her wanted to do, he only knew that he was powerless to resist them.

  Yelling?

  I'm afraid it won't work, reason tells him that as long as he dares to shout out, Rust will be able to break his neck immediately.

  No matter how good the power of the church is, it cannot compare with one's own life.

   "I think the first battle of the expeditionary force should be the cursed place committed by the messenger who exterminated the devil, right." Rust got closer and closer.

   "You want me to send an expeditionary army to attack the Thorn and Lion Territory?!" The Pope was shocked. He didn't expect the other party's request to be so strange, and he asked himself to arrange people to attack the other party's territory.

   "Please note, it's the emerald tree collar now, but you're right, that's what I think."

   "I don't know if the Pope agrees or not?"

Rust's hands clung to the Pope's neck and head. The threat was obvious. If you agree, you will spare your life. If you don't agree, you will break your neck and tear off your head. She can go to the trial archbishop and commandments. archbishop.

   "Okay, no problem." The Pope naturally agreed without hesitation. The meaning expressed by the other party was so obvious, how could he refuse.

  If you really refuse, you will be asking for your own death.

   As for what to do in the future, it will be considered after I survive.

   "Hahaha, Pope, you are really interesting." Rust's movements softened immediately.

   "However, to be on the safe side, the Pope still needs to pay a small price."

  When Rust said these words, the Pope suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

  Before he opened his mouth to speak, he discovered that Rust's body actually began to swell up, turning into a strong man with fiery eyes, and his gender could not be distinguished for the time being.

   "Wait, what are you going to do." The Pope was bound by the opponent's big hand, and he couldn't break free even if he wanted to break free.

   "Of course we want to have fun together." Rust's voice changed from charming and sweet to extremely rough.

"ah!!"

  The pope's screams were loud, but the strange thing was that they didn't come out of the room.

   And at some point, the Pope had a green bracelet on his hand, and he didn't even notice it.

   "I didn't expect that in less than a year, the Emerald Tree has evolved to be able to split into daughter bodies."

"And I went directly to the Pope. I have to say that the church is indeed a great convenience. As long as the Pope can be controlled, the entire church, no, even if only one-third of the church obeys the orders of the Emerald Tree , is a huge resource.”

   "Just judging from the current situation, the Emerald Tree does not intend to develop in the long run, but is ready to harvest directly."

  Gu Shanhai was naturally aware of the actions of the Emerald Tree, and the reason why he planned to send the expeditionary force to the Thorn Lion's collar was because the current Emerald Tree needs nutrition, and a large amount of nutrition can make it reach the next stage.

   This thing is said to be a tree, but in fact it is not a tree at all, and it is closer to energy life and silicon-based life.

  In fact, according to the normal development, it is that the offspring go out to hunt wild animals.

   It’s just that the efficiency of doing this is too low. Things like wild animals have to be hunted, which is not so easy.

   On the contrary, if the church's 50,000 expeditionary troops are brought over directly as nourishment, the effect will be surprisingly good, and only one pope will be needed.

  The two archbishops will not stop this matter at all, because this is the purpose of forming an expeditionary army.

   "I really created a monster. I hope the next stage can give me a little surprise. In any case, there is also the halo of the protagonist."

  In the eyes of Gu Shanhai, the current emerald tree is just a little bit weird, and its value is not high.

  If it evolves to the next stage, maybe the Emerald Tree can become a complete Lushang Emperor or the Emerald Emperor, which is equivalent to changing the quality from ordinary to excellent, and it can barely make Gu Shanhai take a look.

   As for what kind of turmoil the whole world will fall into, that is not what Gu Shanhai should care about. He wants to know what level the emerald tree can develop to with the help of the protagonist's halo.

  The higher and faster the development, the greater the value, even if it is only a collection value, it is also a value to Gu Shanhai.

   "I hope you can be faster, my experiment just needs the help of an experimental subject."

To say that the best candidate for magical bloodlines as a springboard to locate celestial bodies is definitely not a little wizard in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, but an emerald tree with the halo of the protagonist. The foundation has already been laid.
