“...... Fight for faith, fight for survival, the Holy Cross will protect us all, the pure souls will fly to heaven, and the cowardly will only fall into hell and torment!"

The priest's hoarse cry was like a flame, lighting the last "fuse" of the atmosphere.

The patrol commander standing behind the blockade looked at the fat man who was flying and wanted to rush over and tear his stinky mouth apart. But if he dares to do this now, these thugs will strip themselves alive and die in the next second!

The frightened guards held their shields and bows with their arrows wound, and looked at the poor people whose atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, and at the faces that were eager to eat them, and could only desperately suppress the fear in their hearts.

It wasn't a defenseless poor man at all, it was a bunch of beasts that could pounce at any moment!

"Look at these lowly wizard lackeys, who only dare to point their weapons at you, not at their masters!" the priest, who was still shouting, raised his arms as if in a saintly gesture: "Let them see who is the real master of this city!"

"You are the true masters of this city!"

Just as he was getting more and more excited the more he talked, and the more he talked, a figure suddenly walked out of the crowd. He hung his head and staggered and staggered, as if he were an old man and a devout believer, bowing his head humbly.

The excited crowd made way for him, and when he saw that someone was willing to come forward, the priest, who was also very happy, strode up to greet him, and put his hands on the man's shoulders: "Look, there is already a devout believer willing to stand up, this is the power of the Holy Cross, it is the Holy Cross that has given him a brave heart!"

The patrol guards hiding behind the blockade also quieted down, staring nervously at the situation in front of them. The Commander beckons to the crossbowmen to get ready - if this idiot does dare to rush at him, shoot him into a sieve and scare the damned untouchables!

In this moment of silence, the "devout believer" suddenly raised his head and opened a mouth full of fangs—and before the surprised priest could react, the world began to spin around in his eyes.

In the last seconds of his life, he saw his headless corpse twitching and spurting blood. It was being eaten by a faceless monster, and two claws came out of the monster's back, tearing muscles and blood splattering in all directions!

At this moment, the entire blockade line was really "silent...... I could only see, and I could only hear, the monster gnawing on the priest's corpse, and the blood splattered on the faces of the people around them, but they didn't realize it, and stood there as if they were stupid and watched this scene in a daze.

"Quick, shoot arrows!"

Twitching his throat fiercely, the commander spoke. The surrounding guards did not answer, as if they had not yet figured out what was going on, and it was as quiet as a group of sculptures.

"Are you all deaf?!I said shoot arrows, shoot these damned untouchables and monsters!" The commander who was also frightened turned around suddenly: "Could it be that you want to wait for them to become monsters, and then they will all be ......"

The words stopped.

Like a commander whose pupils trembled when he was choked by the throat, the soldiers threw away their weapons one by one, and their bodies "twitched" towards him.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you, what's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong, what's ——!!!!!!wrong,

The screaming commander was torn to shreds in an instant, and the soldiers who had turned into monsters crossed the blockade line and pounced on the poor people who were still stunned, greedily hunting for every living "meat".

The situation is completely out of control............

Ebolden East, Free Parliament.

When the news of "mutant monsters storming the protective wall and the blockade line collapsing" reached here, the Ebolden nobles who could still keep their calm finally couldn't sit still.

Originally, they thought they could drag it out for a while, but now it is obviously not the case - the civilian area south of the city is very large, they can break through one blockade line, they can break the second, and if it continues, sooner or later the whole of Ebolden will fall!

"What the hell are these stupid patrol guards doing, they usually spend so much money to support them, but they can't even do such a small thing!"

"Who came up with the bad idea that as long as the blockade line is pulled up, everything will be fine?! Obviously, according to my plan, I should first hire a few mercenary groups in the port and clean up all the shacks in the south of the city!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!Those mercenary groups are all money-seeing, how can there be so much money in the council's coffers now?The blockade is right, the real fault is the fools who drove the wizard tower out of the council, who said that the church is absolutely credible?!"

"This is our joint decision, don't you vote too?!"

"I voted no!"

"The first law of the parliament, all religious matters must be unanimously passed, when did you vote against it?!"

"I—I'm against it in my heart?!"

............ Quarrels, quibbles, blame-shifting, selfishness, and even when disaster strikes, no one will stand up and make up their minds.

These people are the "free parliament" of Ebberden, incompetent and greedy fools.

Sitting in the seat of the Bellini family, Alto Bellini looked with disdain at the councillors who were still arguing and even ready to fight, and his eyes swept to the empty row of seats on the other side—that was where the Corona family and the wizard tower were originally located.

Only after seeing the stupidity of the lackeys can one miss their opponents.

But it doesn't matter now, the fall of Ebolden is a foregone conclusion - if you continue to be the "culprit", you will definitely not escape responsibility. Don't even think about it, the Lord Phanascist Bishop must have discovered that there is a problem with the Holy Blood Elixir, and he will definitely put all the blame on himself when the time comes.

A way out must be found before then. Aalto Bellini's cold gaze looked at the nobles who had already started fighting, and the panicked and stupid dog-like "mentor" Verlo Bellini beside him, and showed a cruel smile.

Aren't these people better scapegoats?

That's right, the only thing that can be remedied now is the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail - such a large-scale void power and death will definitely trigger blood sacrifices, and Farnesis must have noticed this before allowing the Holy Blood Elixir to spread to Ebolden, and his goal must also be the Holy Grail!

So it must be strong in front of everyone to get it!

"Bang ——!"

While the council was still arguing over "whose responsibility it is", the door was suddenly opened. With a whole team of heavily armed mercenaries, the black-robed Birdlaire walked in with a frosty face.

"The Free Council doesn't allow any soldiers to set foot here, do you want to rebel, Birdlaire?!"

Seeing his old rival, Verlow was the first to jump out: "You and your wizard tower have been removed from the Free Council, there is no place for you here, get out!"

Just as he was about to continue shouting, Birdlaire, who turned his head, gave him a cold look, and the shouting "Master Mentor" immediately shut up.

"I'm here as a representative of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, and as an Ebolden. Instead of looking at the aristocratic councillors who looked like fools, the expressionless Boylaire stared at Aalto Bellini, who was sitting there:

"And as a wizard, on behalf of many colleagues, I give advice to all of you!"

"You can speak. Aalto Bellini replied indifferently.

Birdlaire bowed slightly: "Whatever the reason, this riot has begun. And the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower will definitely not sit back and wait for the entire Ebolden to be reduced to ruins.

Therefore, we are preparing to enter the civilian area south of the city and ask for help from the Empire, and a legion of 3,000 men is rushing here, and the time will ......."

"You ask the Empire for help?!" a surprised Verlot shouted directly.

"Is there anything surprising about this as a loyal courtier of the Empire?" Birdlaire gave him a cold look:

"Or is it that the noble Bellini family is ready to betray the Empire?!"
