 Chapter 471 Sigrid’s fateful battle

 The halls of Parliament were filled with tension and concern.

 No one dared to respond to Bishop Asksan of Annihilation.

Just waiting for Sigrid to respond.

The premature personal demise of the two cardinals made the imperial nobles and ministers present look forward to this contest, but as the situation heated up, many of them began to feel afraid.

Although Franklin Hall is isolated by a barrier and the great sage Isis is stationed there, they are still worried that once these two powerful men, who are like natural disasters, really take action, the aftermath of a close-range war may be devastating. reach them.

Isis listened quietly. As the great sage of the empire, her existence itself was a symbol of authority and power.

 She has no intention of intervening in the disputes within the Resurrection Church.

 Or if the problem can be handled internally by the Resurrection Church, she just prefers to wait for the Resurrection Church to solve it.

“Different identities, different occasions, different things to do.”

Sigrid spoke slowly,

“Some people never solve problems through rational means. Although they are adults, their hearts and behavior patterns are still like those of a one-year-old child.”

 She looked at Askesan and said with a smile.

"Sigrid, don't try to change the subject. I accidentally killed several of your high priests before, so you came to me to fight for your life. Now that I give you such a chance to kill me, you don't dare to challenge me. Are you feeling guilty? ?”

Askesan did not think that Sigrid was scolding him at all, and continued to ask.

"I don't have to fight. I said, if you see me again in a month, you will have no choice but to run away like a mouse."

Sigrid’s eyes only thought Askosang was ridiculous.

 A shameless person.

"It's a pity that you have thought too far. Look at the expressions of everyone in the Protos Empire in the seats. They have begun to question your strength. It shouldn't be difficult for you to take action. You would rather lose the hard work. After preparing for the election for so long, you still have to hide your strength, right?"

Asksan’s words were provocative and sharp, and his voice was full of disdain. He put pressure on Sigrid.

"It's because of a useless bishop like you that your saint died so miserably... You can't blame me for this, and I don't blame Agniello either. If I do, blame her for being a Catholic tyrant like you. "

These words made everyone present in the empire sweat.

 Asksan’s every word seemed to be testing Sigrid’s bottom line.

Facing such a provocation, Sigrid's fingers trembled slightly, and she seemed to have tried her best to stay calm and try to avoid escalating the situation.

Everyone knows that once you take action, the consequences will be unpredictable.

 However, Sigrid's continued avoidance of war and tolerant attitude also caused different reactions among the nobles and ministers sitting at the table.

More and more people began to doubt Sigrid's true strength. Discussions in the parliament hall gradually became more frequent, and the expressions of doubt and suspicion became more and more difficult to conceal.

 This is undoubtedly a huge pressure for Sigrid.

 The high priests of the Tyrant branch can clearly feel that no matter what Bishop Asksan said is true or false, his goal has been achieved.

Asksan’s provocation is exactly what he wants. If all the supporters in the south are shaken, it will be a devastating blow to Sigrid’s chances of winning in the next bishop election.

 If this continues, the Batian branch will definitely lose. “Sigrid, it’s time to prove that our Resurrection Church cannot deceive the Protos Empire.”

Askosan asked patiently, as if telling Sigrid that he was always waiting for Sigrid to prove her strength to the powerful people of the Protos Empire, and he was happy to be a sparring partner.

 Amid the stalemate, Askesan looked around at the upper levels of the parliament.

No one dares to speak for Sigrid now.

Although Sigrid’s mysterious Son of Tyrant may be a noble of the Protos Empire, we cannot rule out the possibility that he participated in today’s election as a member of the House of Lords and is not in the seat of the Archpriest of the Tyrant branch.

But no matter where the Tyrant Son is hiding, Askesan is sure that that guy must have come to the scene today to help the isolated Sigrid.

"Askesan, what I want to show to the Protos Empire is not the intimidation and force you are accustomed to, but the possibility of cooperation and coexistence. But if you must ask me to prove that I have power over If you have superior force, I will accompany you."

Sigrid’s voice became colder as she finished her sentence to Askosan.

She stood in the center of the parliament hall, her figure looking particularly decisive in the atmosphere that was about to reach the critical point. In full view of everyone, she looked up at Isis sitting on the high seat, with a hint of helpless determination in her voice,

“Great Sage Isis, I request you to witness a fair competition between bishops. Let everyone here see whether I, Sigrid, have the strength that a cardinal should have at this moment.”

 Sigrid accepted the challenge, and Franklin Hall was immediately in an uproar.

Although I am still not sure who is true and who is false in what Asksan and Sigrid said, at least Sigrid is willing to take up the challenge!

 Askesan’s expression changed slightly when he heard this, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually softened.

 That is the state of being ready to kill the old enemy.

 Emperor Protos, next to the seat of Franklin III.

　　　…”

Isis tapped the armrest with her right hand, but did not respond immediately, as if she was thinking about something.

The restrictions here cannot be lifted, otherwise Asksan and Sigrid may kill many high-ranking empire officials in one go.

 If you change the location, there may be big changes on the way.

Herrom, as the heart of the Protos Empire, has an extremely high population density. Although it has multiple possible battle sites with ancient barriers, her barrier blockade and control can also allow the two cardinals to use their full strength. Take action, but every choice needs to be made with fairness in mind to ensure the impact of the battle is minimized.

 She also has to think about how to decide the outcome and intervene to end the battle when necessary.

Otherwise, if a cardinal dies in their Protos empire, there may be some trouble when the pope comes back in the future. If the pope must bite him to death because their Protos empire instigated and assisted the cardinals in fighting, then At that time, the Church of Resurrection will be unyielding towards the Protos Empire.

Sigh, why are humans so troublesome? I would have known better that I would not have agreed to help Emperor Franklin protect the Protos Empire.

If one day in the future she encounters the historical projection of the Holy War a hundred years ago in the shadow world, she will definitely advise herself this way.

Isis rested her chin with her left hand, sat cross-legged on a high-backed chair, and looked at the hall distressedly.
