I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

The location of the Bloody Disaster is very hidden, and apart from the believers themselves, few people know their specific hiding place. After all, as a sect that often causes trouble everywhere, it would not be good if their lair is too conspicuous.

In the past hundred years, the Bloody Disaster has changed nearly five headquarters, and even the Cunning Rabbit has to admit defeat.

But for the Dawn Cult, which is the most powerful and has the largest number of believers, this secrecy is nothing. There will always be Dawn believers traveling around who will accidentally discover their whereabouts and then report this information to the Holy See in exchange for contribution as intelligence.

Upton, the leader of the Knights of Dawn, stopped and looked ahead vigilantly.

He was a little annoyed after getting lost several times, but fortunately he finally found this place.

Before their eyes was a swamp in the northwest of the Western Continent. Rising gray mist enveloped the area, and the crisscrossing thorns blocked their vision. They could only vaguely see a rugged path among the thorns leading to the depths.

The wind whistled through their golden armor, and a gloomy chill swept over their entire bodies. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and only a few shrill cries of crows could be heard occasionally.

According to the location shown on the map, this should be the headquarters of the Bloody Disaster.

"Captain, should we send someone to explore the way first?" asked the deputy commander. Somehow, he always felt a little uneasy.

Upton laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "Do you think there is anyone in the Weir Continent who can compete with me? Is there any force that can defeat the Knights of the Dawn? All conspiracies and tricks are nothing but illusions in the face of absolute strength! Let's go straight ahead!"

"Hey? But the captain..."

Afraid that the man beside him would start nagging again, Upton narrowed his eyes and said preemptively: "Why? You've been with me for so long, and you're still afraid of this and that? If I were to ask you, your uncle the Pope has taught you to be too cautious. You're as timid as a rabbit! No, you're even more timid than a rabbit. You're a follower of divine revelation, so don't lose face for the prophet."

As he said this, he glanced at the person next to him with disdain. How could this timid and talkative guy take over his position in the future?

"Okay, Captain." The deputy captain could only swallow what he was about to say.

Upton turned his head and looked forward with satisfaction. A raging fire seemed to be burning in his chest. He drew his sword and waved to the knights behind him: "Let's go!"

Divine power surged, and the muddy swamp was covered with a layer of gold. It felt like flat ground when the horses stepped on it. The ferocious thorns were no match for the Dawn Knight's long sword and hard armor. The deputy captain felt relieved.

A towering red castle gradually appeared in front of them, and Upton raised his head and asked them to speed up.

At this moment, the deputy leader noticed that the crystal pendant on his waist flashed, and hurriedly reminded him loudly: "Leader, the Vatican is contacting you!"

"Why are you contacting me at this time?" Upton muttered. He was about to rein in his horse, but he saw a figure flash by five meters to his left. The figure was so familiar that it attracted his entire attention.

"Who is it?" His face darkened and he hurriedly chased after him, throwing the crystal pendant to the deputy captain.

"Hey?" The deputy captain took it in a hurry and asked half of the men to quickly catch up with the captain, while he stopped to contact the Holy See.

The crystal pendant is made of the Crystal of Dawn, a powerful crystal that can easily serve as a medium for them to communicate.

Infused with divine power, the light of the crystals gathered into the outline of a human face, which was Elder Aubrey.

Seeing Deputy Captain Chenxi, Aubrey frowned and asked, "Why is it you? Where's Upton?"

"The captain ran after a figure..." The deputy captain was in tears.

"You must hurry to find him and tell him to stay away from the territory of the Bloody Disaster immediately! Three gods have descended there and possessed Miss Melody, Saint Vincent, and Miss Caroline. You are no match for them. You must be careful. Retreat for now and wait for the next order from the Pope!" Elder Aubrey warned.

"Ah?" The deputy leader's eyes widened. "Why are the three of them here? And there's a god..."

"Alright, I'll explain the details to you later. Hurry up and find Upton and ask him to take you out!"

"Okay, okay." The deputy captain realized the urgency and did not dare to think any more. He hurriedly led the remaining knights in the direction of the captain.

Following the horseshoe prints left by the captain, they soon saw traces of the captain and other knights, but the scene before them frightened him so much that he was speechless.

The smell of blood enveloped them, and the swamp was littered with corpses. Those corpses belonged to half of the knights who followed the captain!

Most of their bodies were mutilated, as if they had been eaten by some ferocious beasts.

"This... Deputy Captain!"

The other knights behind him panicked instantly.

Where is the leader? The deputy leader forced himself to calm down and continued to search for the leader. Finally, a knight found Upton in the thorn bush, whose life or death was unknown.

They hurriedly helped the captain onto the horse. At this moment, the deputy captain saw a figure slowly appearing. When he looked closely, he found that it was Miss Melody!

The long golden hair draped over her shoulders was no different from before, but the empty and terrifying eyes made him shudder.

He immediately turned his horse around and said, "Run! Follow me!"

They poured all their divine power into their horses' hooves and ran desperately in the direction they came from.

Finally, after a long and frantic run, they finally left the swamp.

The deputy captain breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the "Miss Melody" who looked like a god did not follow them.

"How could Miss Melody become like that? Was she really possessed by a god? Which god was it? I seemed to see blood at the corner of her mouth just now. It was..." a young knight said in fear.

"Shh! Don't say it!" The deputy leader frowned, "Don't mention the names of those gods, and don't even think about them!"

"Yes!" the knights answered in unison, but there was despair and fear on everyone's face.

Half of their fighting power was destroyed so easily just now, in just a moment, they didn't even hear the sound of fighting!

The deputy leader was silent for a while, then said, "Let's go a little further. Find a few people to warn the residents nearby. It would be best if they leave here."

Although it is located in the wilderness of the northwest, there are still some scattered people living there.

"Yes!"

Only after they had walked a long way away did they feel relieved.

Letting the other knights rest, the deputy captain placed Upton on the rock and checked his injuries.

He just took a quick look on horseback and found that the captain's breathing was very weak, but fortunately he was still alive.

"It's just that his divine power is exhausted, there is no serious injury. It seems that the leader just asked the gods to descend."

The deputy captain was relieved and took off his helmet. The face underneath was covered in sweat. He whispered to the unconscious captain, "I told you to call me a coward, but you took so many knights to die. How are you going to explain to His Holiness the Pope when you go back? I say that we should be more cautious when doing things..."

As he spoke, his voice became weaker and weaker. The sky became darker. It turned out that the sun had set. Recalling the terrible scene he had just seen, he hurriedly closed his eyes and prayed: "Great prophet of the day! Can you tell us what to do?"
