Not to mention Sophia, Keira could also guess how much popularity the Bishop would receive after defeating the heretic and killing the First Knight.
Even now, because of the defeat of a heretical camp and forcing them to withdraw the sentries originally arranged on the periphery, Bishop Sophia has become the most popular figure in the imperial capital.
Looking at the tone of the Bishop just now, if no one explained, everyone who heard it would probably think that Sophia was the pope.
In fact, it was not just her tone.
Under the praise of the nobles who were looking forward to the bishop and her saintly men to help regain the territory, Sophia's voice had long been louder than that of Kayla, the pope.
If it weren't for the fact that this woman was just a Northerner, the initiate with the Holy Flame might have become the new pope.
The spies on Keira's side have all heard rumors that she should abdicate in favor of others.
No need to guess, it must be Sophia herself who spreads such rumors.
Also looking at Hogle falling from the sky, Keira hesitated whether to use the hands of this first knight to get rid of Sophia.
Feeling the threat from Sophia, Keira had some other ideas in order to maintain her position.
But Keira is not the absolute ruler of the entire church.
At least those Paladins of the previous generation didn't pay too much attention to her orders.
When they saw the intruder, they immediately assumed a fighting posture.
Without Keira's orders, the paladins formed a formation and took the initiative to stand in front of Sophia.
Of course, they are not fools.
Sophia, who is both a Holy Flame and a Saint, can tell that she is very ambitious.
But compared to Sophia's ambition, it is the consensus of all paladins to resolve the heresy first.
There is no doubt that Hogle is a heretic.
On the battlefield, many paladins saw the fact that the first knight of the empire was on the enemy's side.
If it weren't for the appearance of this first knight, they would no longer have to rely on the troops from the north and the Stuart family to defend the imperial capital.
But everyone present had seen Hogle's power with their own eyes.
Even if they had the advantage in numbers, they were still very careful.
"Hogelpendra, you have violated the laws of the empire and betrayed your beliefs.
On behalf of the church and an imperial man, I ask you to put down your weapons."
As soon as Hogar landed, he saw the first knight looking a little embarrassed, and the leading paladin directly tried to persuade him to surrender.
Maybe she thinks Hogel is so slovenly because the other party has been burned by heretics.
Unfortunately, now that he no longer needs to maintain his honorable and upright image, Hogel's true posture may be now.
After surrendering, Hogel, who had become a traitor, could not lay down his weapons again.
Having personally felt the power of Sophia's flame, his fighting spirit has been rekindled.
"Strange, isn't the power of fire only available to you?
How did you separate this power?"
Directly choosing to ignore the Paladin's persuasion to surrender, Hogel glanced across the crowd at the Holy Fire Messenger one by one and then placed it on Sophia's face.
Although most people didn't understand what he said, Sophia understood what Hogel meant.
In order not to let him continue to say more, the bishop emphasized again.
"He has no intention of repenting at all.
The self-degenerated Hogelpendra is already a complete heretic.
We cannot give him a chance to leave."
Needless to say, Sophia saw that the Paladin knew what Hogel meant when he saw Hogel ignoring them.
Their indifferent attitude was enough for them to take action, and a few holy knights with noble swords nestled in their hands were responsible for the main attack.
With the powerful attack power and the assistance of the Holy Light, coupled with the constant preparation of Sophia and others, even if Hogel rose up in the air, he would not be able to escape intact today.
He thought he had done a perfect job, but the First Knight was about to fall in his own hands.
But how did Sophia know that Hogel fell into the crowd on purpose?
Instead of becoming a target in the sky, he chose to get entangled with the Paladin after landing, which immediately made Sophia's flames useless.
Moreover, what the First Knight is good at is close combat.
Although he can also use the power of Sanhua and Wizard to attack in the sky, he is truly powerful on the ground.

Even unlike Natalie, the First Knight's fighting style is completely different.
Moving and dodging was also the behavior that Hogel disdained most.
Just now, he had no choice but to face a field he was familiar with.
The first knight used his strength to prove to Sophia that he was not in vain.
Let alone several paladins holding noble phantoms joining forces, even the great knight Hogel would not be worried at all.
Because after entering a close battle, he would not give the opponent a chance to take action.
Whenever those Paladins wanted to activate the Noble Phantasm in their hands, Hogel could always hand his azure sword in front of them from a tricky angle.
Not wanting to withstand the First Knight's attack, the Paladins always subconsciously stopped their defense.
With Hogle's ability, he can even completely block the movement of the Paladin.
If it weren't for the fact that they had already drawn their swords, they might not even be able to unsheath them in the face of Hogel's attack.
One person and one sword completely blocked the attack direction of all the Paladins.
Even someone like Sophia who did not understand martial arts could see that Hogel had the upper hand.
Judging from the first knight's skillful movements, the bishop believed that if Hogle wanted to, he could immediately kill the paladins surrounding him.
And the reason why Hogel didn't kill him was because Sophia was already very clear about Hogel's intention as the battle situation was slowly approaching her side.
Using those paladins as shields, Hogel was sure that Sophia would not dare attack rashly.
In the cathedral, if Sophia was not crazy, she would not be able to directly burn the Paladins and Hogel to ashes with a big fireball.
But it is definitely not the Bishop's style to sit back and wait for death.
The Paladin cannot be used as cannon fodder, and transforming people does not require the Bishop's mercy.
"Let our people come in" Amy was ordered to inform the reformers outside the church, but before Amy could turn around, Keira, who had not joined the battle group, interrupted.
"This is the backyard of the cathedral.
No man can come in without my order."
There is indeed a restricted area for men inside the cathedral, but the Pope is obviously not saying this now to maintain the church's rules and face.
Pointing at Hogel who was fighting with the Paladin, Sophia's tone was very bad.
"Isn't that a man or the Paladin who you allowed to enter the attack?"
At first, Keira thought that Hogle came for her head, but after fighting for a while and taking into account Hogle's words, His Majesty the Pope realized that he was overly worried
