Chapter 32: Great Cleanup

"Ha, Lord Antonio, we are already allies now. However, before that, I need you to swear to be loyal to the Angels in the name of the God of Light. In addition, I also need you to write a guarantee to become our ally." Wang Biao said. Otherwise, he would not dare to confirm whether Antonio was sincere in cooperating with them or surrendering. If he turned around one by one, he would betray them immediately, or if he killed Pius VII in the future, he would cast his head on the Lord of Light. Wouldn't that make the Angels tribe work in vain?

"Sir Solic. You don't believe me, why do you want me to cooperate with you?" Antonio was very angry. He knew that if he sat according to Wang Biao's request, he would be caught by Wang Biao and would never be able to turn over.

"This is just to show the sincerity of the Lord." Wang Biao was very determined.

"Okay." Antonio finally had to compromise and could only go along with Wang Biao and the others to the dark.

According to Wang Biao's request, Antonio swears to the God of Light that he will obey the orders of Wang Biao and the angel tribe from now on and never betray him. He then wrote a letter of guarantee for voluntarily being led by the angel tribe and being loyal to the great angel tribe.

"Ha, very good. Lord Antonio, we will be a family from now on. Lord Howard, if you have something to do, let's go first. I can control the rest of the situation."

Howard nodded and flew away. The fewer people knew about his existence, the better.

After dealing with all this, Wang Biao called Elliott in and began to fabricate another person who finally protected the VII.

Already after Antonio was arrested, Elliot was very nervous. Now that Wang Biao asked him to go in, he had the urge to escape immediately. But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and went in. Antonio, a strong man at the median level, had no power to resist, so where could he escape?

After he entered the yard, he found that Wang Biao, Antonio, as well as four six-winged angels including Harvey were already drinking and talking. This change made him confused.

"Sir Antonio, what's going on?" Elliott was very confused.

"Alas, Elliot, after careful consideration, I agreed with Lord Solic. Pius VII is really incompetent. Since he ascended the throne, the influence of the Holy See of Light in the Xuanlu plane has decreased day by day. If this continues, I am afraid that the faith of the God of Light will eventually become extinct in the Xuanlu plane. Think about it, even the Shadow Church and the Undead Union have happened now, which has never happened after the establishment of the Holy See of the Light. Moreover, the despicable Pius VII also used the most loyal servant of the God of Light and the noble angel as cannon fodder. This behavior should be despised. Therefore, I decided to accept Lord Solic's proposal and change this situation." Antonio's words were filled with tears. Not only did Elliot, but also Wang Biao and the others were stunned.

"Talent. If you go to act in a movie, you will be able to win an Oscar." Wang Biao couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ah! Sir, how could this happen?" Elliott was surprised to have a fist in his mouth. He really didn't understand why Antonio had such a big contrast in a short period of time. He had clamored to capture Wang Biao and other lowly angels back and handed them to Pius VII to defeat him. Now he supports Wang Biao and the others and wants to oppose Pius VII. Also, who was the person who took action to capture Antonio in the past? Is it really a superior god? These are all just in his mind.

"Sir Elliot, it's time for you to express your opinion now." Wang Biao said with a smile. At the same time, he gave Harvey and the others a color. The four of them immediately put down their wine glasses and surrounded Elliot in the middle intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah? State your opinion? What's your opinion?" Elliott was still not clear about the situation.

"Oh, it seems that what Lord Antonio said just now was in vain." Wang Biao patted his forehead speechlessly: "Lord Antonio has expressed his willingness to stand with us and overthrow the foolish Pius VII. Are you planning to join us now, or continue to be loyal to Pius VII?"

"What? Overthrow His Majesty the Pope. Are you not afraid of the anger of the Lord of the Glory God?" Elliot jumped up and pointed at Wang Biao and the others and couldn't believe it. At the same time, he also looked at Antonio. He could not believe that even Antonio would betray Pius VII.

Antonio nodded. Once he made up his mind, he planned to do it without hesitation. Moreover, if he could succeed, he could become a high-ranking new pope. Although there were risks, the returns were also generous. An extremely cost-effective transaction!

After receiving a positive answer, Elliot was discouraged. At the same time, he looked at Harvey and others who were vigilant around him, and he also understood his situation quite well.

"If I refuse, I should never get out of here again." Elliot said helplessly.

"Your guess is absolutely correct."

"Okay, I'm willing to join you." Elliot finally made a choice.

“At a moment, you will find that today’s choice is the right one, welcome to join us, Lord Eriot.”

Afterwards, Elliott also swore and wrote a letter of guarantee as required. Harvey presented a glass full of fine wine, and everyone toasted to celebrate the alliance.

"Master Antonio, Archbishop Eliot. I need you to quickly control all the forces of the Holy See in the Empire of Light and clean up all those loyal to Piazza VII. If necessary, you can send them all to serve the God of Light." Wang Biao's tone was extremely murderous. With Howard's help, his first plan had been basically realized. The next step is to firmly control this force.

The power of the Holy See in the Empire of Light was divided into twelve dioceses and one special diocese of the capital. Each diocese had a bishop. The special diocese of the capital had an archbishop, leading all the dioceses of the entire empire.

Many of the twelve dioceses below are loyal to Pius VII. But now with the support of Cardinal Antonio, it is very easy to clean up these people. Then, if you change your own people, you can effectively control all these forces. As for the pastors and priests of the major cathedrals below, without the support of the bishop, they will not be able to make any trouble.

Another powerful force is the Light Guardian Legion stationed not far from the Holy Light City. This legion has millions of elite warriors. Wang Biao's next move is to take this legion into his hands.

After Wang Biao discussed with Antonio and Elliot, a huge purge to eliminate dissidents was launched in the Holy See. Although the entire operation was carried out in secret, at least tens of thousands of people were secretly killed, the purge was noticed by many people who were interested.
