Chapter 417: The Blind Archbishop's Back-up Plan

Chapter 417: The Blind Archbishop's Back-up Plan
Michael VIII, sitting on the throne, was both terrified and angry. "I don't need a dead soul to accuse me."

"You are nothing but an undead. Ministers of this country, look here. The army you support is actually made up of undead!"

"Aren't you ashamed?"

"Governor Pierre, please help me..."

Michael VIII turned his head and saw that Governor Pierre of the Platinum Commercial Republic was already preparing to escape.

But the next moment, Vasilian ordered the skeleton dragon to kill it with a breath of dragon breath.

Vasilian jumped down from the sky and said, "I bring the order of the legitimate emperor Sunan Peter to kill the tyrant Michael VIII."

"Anyone who helps him will die."

Michael VIII was very scared when Vasily was approaching him, and he yelled loudly, but at this time, he found that the military nobles behind him also fled in all directions.

The church nobles and secular nobles he had arrested before were looking at him coldly.

Although these people were also surprised that Sunan Peter would send an undead knight to kill Michael VIII.

But it doesn't matter, Sunan Peter is a person favored by God, and this has been confirmed by the church. In addition, the succession to the throne of the Eastern Human Empire has already been unscrupulous and has used all kinds of tricks.

Therefore, everyone can accept an Undead Knight certified by the Lord of Law.

The most important thing is that the Nicomedia Empire has been weak for a long time, so some people even think that it is not bad to have such a powerful undead to help the imperial military.

Michael VIII was abandoned by everyone. His allies were useless. He never focused on the domestic situation, so he didn't have many loyal followers in the country. His loyal followers were also purged.

Now, no one can help him.

Until this time, this great man of the Palaiologos family suddenly thought of his sister, Mary Palaiologos.

Michael VIII looked at Vasily and walked to the throne. He suddenly shouted: "Mary, where have you been?"

"My sister, please come and help your brother. You are the only reliable one at this time, Mary."

In response to his call, Mary Palaiologos actually entered the palace carrying the head of a six-star sorcerer.

Michael VIII was overjoyed. "After all, family members are reliable. Mary, I was wrong about what happened before. The Pure White School is unreliable, and these allies are also unreliable. Only you are reliable."

"Come and save me."

"Once I have suppressed these traitors, I will give you territory. Yes, I will give you the title of co-emperor of the empire..."

Michael VIII was well versed in diplomacy, and at the moment of desperation, he dared to make any big promise.

Mary looked at him coldly and said, "Don't get me wrong."

"My coming here has nothing to do with you. I just want to kill the blind archbishop behind you."

The blind archbishop behind Michael VIII looked at Mary with a smile.

But he didn't know why, and he didn't do anything.

Michael VIII stood there in a daze, and then he became so angry that it overshadowed his fear.

He stood on the throne and angrily shouted at all the nobles and Mary who were watching him coldly: "I know you all hate me. You hate me for betraying your noble universal church and the dignity of our empire, but our country is in trouble both internally and externally."

"If I don't sell out the dignity of our country, how can I get any real benefit in return?"

"Nobles of the Church of the Law, ask yourselves, even if I don't merge the churches, how much influence will you still have now?"

"Mary, I sold you to the Pure White School because I couldn't afford to offend the local wizarding forces."

Michael VIII seemed very angry, and he hated everyone for betraying him. "With the empire in such trouble both internally and externally, I can only sell my dignity so that the surrounding countries can protect me."

"How many resources can I mobilize? The resources I can mobilize are less than one-thirtieth of the former empire. This is all I can do! I can only do that!"

"I can only blind the little emperor's eyes. If that brat had been allowed to ascend the throne, the empire would have perished long ago. I believe I have done my best, but I want to see if the Lord of Law and the emperor you choose can be better than me?!"

Vasily's black knife fell towards his forehead, cold and ruthless, as if he had no hesitation at all because of the fall of this generation of emperors.

The blind archbishop also seemed to be watching with a chuckle, not trying to stop him at all.

But just as Vasilian's black knife made blood flow from the forehead of Emperor Palaiologos and was about to slaughter the emperor, Vasilian's black knife stopped.

Michael VIII, who had seemed very tough before because of his anger, was so frightened that he collapsed on the throne. He seemed to be very frightened, gasping for breath, and could not stand up at all.

The blind archbishop's smile froze.

The blind archbishop said, "Mr. Vasilian, this is your name, right? Why don't you move?"

"Kill the emperor in front of you, and your master will become the emperor."

"Soldiers are valuable and quick."

“One minute at night, something could change.”

Vasilyan ignored the blind archbishop's words and retracted the black knife.

Mary looked at this scene in confusion. Before, Vasilyan killed the governor of the Platinum Republic and the knight commander of the Papal State without any hesitation.

The only person who could make Vasily stop was Sunan Peter.

Mary asked, "Mr. Vasilian, does His Majesty have any new orders?"

In the palace, the nobles and priests looked at Vasily with confusion and curiosity. Could this be the first order of the new emperor whom they had never seen before? They would have to listen carefully.

The old butler, Warwick, had arrived. He explained to Mary, "It was the young master who ordered Mr. Vasilyan to stop."

"Change the kill order to a prison order."

Michael VIII angrily shouted at the werewolf Warwick: "Monster, what gives you the right to imprison me? I am the emperor!"

"Who has the power to judge me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Nan appeared next to his throne and said, "No, there is actually someone who can judge you."

Sunan, who used illusion to maintain his human form, kicked him off the throne, took out two documents and threw them to him.

"The first document is from the Nicomedia City Council. The Nicomedia City Council believes that you are not the legitimate emperor because there is a lack of a full election by the citizens of the capital. Therefore, you need to either hold an election for the entire capital or abdicate yourself."

"The second document is from the new Patriarch, Mr. Valentinius, who acknowledges that you are not the legitimate emperor and asks me to arrest you on his behalf."

Michael VIII stared at the two documents on the ground in a daze.

Sunan said to everyone, "I'm sorry that it took a little longer and took some legal procedures. Since this country is governed by law, if we want to overthrow tyranny, I think we should also base it on the law."

The nobles and priests were a little dumbfounded when they saw Sunan, who was too young.

They did not expect that Sunan organized such a large-scale attack, and the first thing he did when he entered was not to kill the former emperor or occupy the palace, but to go to the church headquarters and the city hall first.

Just for two empty documents!
But Sunan's attitude of respecting the law unexpectedly won the favor of many people present.

After all, in the kingdom of the Lord of Law, everyone does generally have some respect for the law.

However, Sunan seems to attach great importance to respecting the law.

Everyone looked at the mark of the Code of Law on his forehead, and seemed to feel a little relieved about Sunan's character.

At least the new emperor was willing to respect the laws and ancient traditions.

Suddenly, someone from among the nobles came out, his hands still bound by ropes. He knelt on one knee in front of Sunan and said, "Your Majesty, I am David Thompson. Michael VIII is extremely cunning."

"Please kill him immediately to prevent future troubles."

Sunan shook his head. "No, I want him to be punished by law."

Michael VIII sat on the ground, saying nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

And Sunan looked at the blind archbishop.

At this time, the blind archbishop's face had turned completely black, as if something had happened that he had not expected at all.

The blind archbishop said: "I have read your life and through analysis, I found that you are not a person who abides by the law. Why are you so law-abiding today?"

"Wouldn't it be better to kill that old emperor?"

"If I were you, I would not hold back. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

"Today these nobles will betray him for you, and tomorrow these nobles will betray you for him. Don't you understand this truth?"

Many nobles present changed their expressions.

"Don't talk nonsense. Michael VIII is a tyrant. How can he compare with Your Majesty? Your Majesty is a person favored by God."

"He is also a traitor invited to our country by Michael VIII! Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by him!"

Sunan stared at the blind archbishop and said, "Don't waste your time. When I came here, I met a man who used tarot cards to tell fortunes for me."

“He taught me that the process is more important than the result.”

"So...you don't have to lie to me anymore, Tudi."

"Although I don't know what you are going to do specifically, I can be sure of your purpose - your backup plan can only be triggered after I kill the emperor."

"And now, I have a bold hypothesis."

Sunan said: "You and the Blind Judge seem to look alike, like twins. If one of you dies, will the power be transferred to the other? The power of the Blind Judge seems to be the law of ruthless kindness."

The blind archbishop smiled. "Interesting."

"It turns out that someone helped you and saw through my plan in advance."

"No wonder you don't want to join the game."

"It would be great if you had just killed Michael VIII, but unfortunately there is no...ruthless kindness."

A code appeared behind the blind archbishop, and the ink of order appeared on the blank pages of the code, writing continuously. "Human before me, I pronounce you guilty."

"The first crime was attacking the capital of the Nicomedia Empire."

"The second crime is killing people."

"The third crime is subverting the state."

"The fourth crime is threatening the emperor!"

"In the name of the blind king, this is the highest law. There is no sympathy, no morality, only the law. This is a ruthless and kind law. I sentence you to death!"
