After the arrival of the Church Guard carrying the banner of the Holy Cross, the flames had not yet subsided, but the commotion that had spread almost the entire night had finally come to an end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sloppy and undisciplined mob was certainly no match for the heavily armed cavalry, and the wandering wizards might be able to hold out if they were only fighting in the streets or in the wilderness. But in the face of a uniform army, there was only one end to be strangled one after another.

The only ones who could cause difficulties were the mercenaries who were invited by Kahlan at a high price, but these red-eyed guys immediately came to their senses in front of the Holy Cross banner of the church and surrendered obediently one by one.

These people were extremely arrogant in the face of the unarmed common people, but when the church people put their spears around their necks, they immediately behaved like a pack of pugs.

The Church still showed no "mercy" to these "sensible" people - as soon as they threw away their weapons, the cavalry surrounded them and slaughtered them with bows and spears!

The thugs who surrendered and the wandering wizards who were captured alive were escorted to the only central square in the entire town that was still intact. Farnesis did not even prepare a confessional ceremony for these people before they died, and beheaded them all in front of the doors of the village church.

One by one, they struggled, or they cried and screamed, or their heads soaked in blood all over the ground. No one came forward to accuse Farnesis of brutality, but all of them acquiesced in the adult's brutal methods.

After all, after seeing such a tragic situation, anyone will feel that this group of people is really innocent.

Dressed in clergyman's robes, Farnesis stood in a pool of blood and prayed reverently. Only the knight beside him saw the expression that revealed a hint of fear and fear in the light of the fire.

Having regained his composure from the excitement, Farnesis realized how dangerous it was tonight - if he had to slow down a little longer, the whole town of Wimpal would have been reduced to ashes!

At that time, no matter how much merit he makes, the image he has created in the past will collapse, and even if he eradicates Wimpal Academy, he will only leave a reputation of "brutal and ruthless". This is a huge blow to the Church, which has always shown itself to be benevolent and just!

Fortunately, at least for now, it can be explained as a "delay in the message", which caused me to make a wrong judgment. And the merit of exterminating the bandits can also save some face, so that the situation will not be out of control.

The reason why it was delayed so late was entirely due to Fanex's own selfishness - if he had arrived too early, I am afraid that Kahlan would have not stormed the castle and his actions would be meaningless.

The Fanesis, who hesitated to set out until the evening, grossly overestimated the speed of the marches of the guards, which led to the immediate result. Especially after he came to his senses, he realized what a huge gamble he had made.

And the person he trusted the most actually let himself down again...... Looking at the wounded knight beside him, Fanecis, who couldn't reprimand him in person, could only choose to be patient for the time being, and wait until later.

After cleaning up the bandits in the villages and towns, Phanesis left only a small number of cavalry to maintain order as much as possible, and went to the castle with the main army and Peter to rescue.

Even the bandits in the villages and towns have been wiped out, and naturally the handful of cronies who attacked the castle are even less likely to be the opponents of the church cavalry.

After holding out for a while, they were quickly defeated, except for those who insisted on being arrested for questioning, and the rest were all strangled by the cavalry, which was considered to be the end of the night's disaster.

The only regret is that one of the Academy's mentors died in battle, and was crushed in the head by a wandering wizard with a mace, and the remaining Academy wizards and apprentices were more or less wounded. Thankfully, the castle gates were still open, which meant that the apprentices in the main castle hall were safe.

"Thank you very much for the help of the Church, without you and these brave knights, I am afraid that the Wimpal Academy would fall into the hands of these gangsters tonight. ”

The smiling Peter stretched out his right hand to Phanesis, and his kind and gentle voice was almost impossible to refuse: "I wonder if you are willing to accept the thanks of an old man?"

"Of course, without the wizards of the Academy, the poor believers in the villages and towns, they may not be able to wait for this just trial. Fanecis stroked the Holy Cross pendant on his chest with his left hand and sincerely held the old man's hand: "You have proved with your actions that even wizards are devout followers of the Holy Cross!"

"In addition, I would like to ask you to express my sincerest apologies for the rudeness you received during our last meeting. Farnesis even bowed slightly to the old man: "I have already asked that apprentice named Loren to convey it to you once, but now I finally have the opportunity to apologize to you in person!"

"You're so kind. ”

While the two were still thanking each other, the only wandering wizard who was still alive had already been captured. Phanesis snapped his fingers, and two horsemen immediately stepped forward and pinned him to the ground.

"Where's your chieftain, Karan?!" shouted the righteous Fanesis, "stop trying to hide it, your plot has long been revealed, and your plans have been crushed. Repent now and receive the last mercy of the Holy Cross!"

"Repentance...... What do we have to repent?!" The wandering wizard who was pressed to the ground struggled desperately to raise his head, his hideous face constantly twisted: "On the contrary, you self-righteous church masters, look at your ugly faces under your sanctimonious appearance, you should go to hell!"

Fanesis's expression turned pale, and he didn't need to order the two cavalrymen to give the wandering wizard a kick at once, one left and one right, and he collapsed on the ground and retched.

"Say ......" Phanesis, who was dragging a long voice, stared at him deadly: "Now open your mouth, I can still give you a good one." ”

"Stop thinking that someone will come to your rescue, blasphemer. From the moment you are caught, your only way home is the holy burn at the stake. The divine flames will purify your body, scorch your soul, and suffer eternal torment in hell!"

"Eternal torture in hell?hahahahaha......" The wandering wizard suddenly laughed wildly, making Fanesis's expression even more ugly.

"What's ridiculous, blasphemer!"

"Do you think I would be here if I cared about this?!" the wandering wizard laughed wildly and asked, "It's you, you guys who drove us to our deaths......!"

"You want to know where Lord Kalan is, well, let me tell you--he's already in the castle, long before you damned traitors find out!" The wandering wizard glared at Peter, his expression unspeakably happy, "I'm afraid everyone inside has been killed now, guess where he is......?"

Karan is already inside the castle?!

Dalton and Peter looked horrified almost at the same time, but immediately returned to normal—the church was right next to them, and if they found out the problem, it would be over!

"That guy is inside the castle?!" Fanesis's expression was equally frightened, but it was to hide the excitement in his heart: "How can this be, we must arrest him as soon as possible, hand him over to the church for a fair trial, and let the Holy Cross judge him!"

"Just a wizard, Master Phanesis!" Peter quickly stepped forward with a forced smile: "Please leave him to us, there is no need for your warriors who fought all night to bother - just wait until tomorrow morning, and we will hand him over to you completely!"

"No, you are completely unaware of the consequences of this, Abbot Peter. Fanesis refused without even thinking about it: "The fact that he can sneak into the castle without being detected proves that he can also leave without being discovered." It would be a terrible thing to let such people wander around this land!"

With that, he waved his hand, and the church guards who had received the order scattered and began to search the castle in all directions.

Really...... Looking at Farnesis, whose face did not change, Peter, who sighed, looked back, and Dalton, who had the same serious expression, glanced at each other.

The other party is not good!
