As it turned out, Kahlan still grossly underestimated the Wimpal Academy's desire to rebel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the face of the onslaught of more than a dozen wandering wizards and elite mercenaries, they were still able to resist by relying on the city walls and towers. Although he was a little panicked at first due to the surprise attack, he quickly recovered, and even beat back the mercenaries who had already stormed the castle several times in a row.

The wizard apprentices standing on the city wall kept hindering the mercenaries with crossbows, ignition agents and various low-level spells, and the speeding arrows and blue "shooting stars" that cut through the air swept through the stone walls again and again, kicking up puffs of smoke and dust on the stone walls of the city walls.

The ignition agent that fell from the sky rolled up a dazzling fire, although it was only for a short moment, but it also made those mercenaries retreat in a panic.

After all, they are only here to make money, and there is no need to really fight with these wizards - if they really attack, they can naturally take it down, but there will definitely be casualties, so these mercenaries just can't do their work.

And the wizards gathered behind the city gate were also not to be outdone, facing the unruly "peers" to face the battle with all their might.

These people are not inexperienced apprentices, especially wizards in such remote areas, who have more or less a hand in swordsmanship. The wandering wizards who fought them head-on had little advantage at all.

Soon, casualties began to appear among Kalan's subordinates, a shouting wandering wizard wielded a pointed hammer, kicked the academy wizard who was blocking the edge of the city gate to the ground, and before he could knock on the opponent's heavenly spirit cover with a hammer, he was hit in the head by a bottle of ignition agent falling from the sky, and his hair was instantly ignited, and he knelt on the ground with a burning head and screamed heartbreakingly.

Kahlan immediately withdrew his wandering wizards, and the two sides were at a standoff near the city gates, only occasionally harassing each other with spells and bows and arrows, plus the constantly summoned ghouls to send them to death, and entangled with the rebellious academy wizards.

The cold moonlight shone on his body, and the fires in the distant villages and towns still did not stop, and even became more chaotic. But all this is just a precursor, and Farnesscism will come at any time, and then he will not have a chance!

"If we continue like this, we will never be able to capture Vimpal Castle!" a wandering wizard with a wound on his body ran up to Kahlan with a look of great excitement: "Please think of a way!"

Looking at the eyes around him who were also staring at him, Karan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart - these people would die tonight, and because they believed in themselves.

But so what? Who made them so stupid to pin their hopes on others? They deserved to be unlucky and become their own stepping stones!

“...... I have a plan. Kahlan spoke, with a slight tremble, but quickly returned to normal: "But I need you to cover for me and continue to attack the gates - I will enter the castle from elsewhere, and if I catch the apprentices, they will surrender without a fight!"

"Then please go quickly!" the wandering wizard showed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on his face, waving his wand and mace in his hand, "We will hold out until you return, for freedom, for revenge!"

"For revenge-!!!!" The wandering wizards, who had just been dejected, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the city gate with a hungry wolf-like roar, leaving the mercenaries on the side stunned, and they had to charge after them.

The sudden attack caught the academy wizards at the city gate a little off guard, even the apprentices on the city wall desperately shot arrows and threw ignition agents could not stop these mad dog-like enemies, and the castle's defenses suddenly became precarious.

In such a situation, naturally no one would notice that a tall and thin man suddenly disappeared, and the shouts of the fight also drowned out all movement and sound.

Karan, who had slipped into the castle quietly, did not dare to slack off, and after making sure that no one was following him, he immediately ran towards the castle's chapel.

As for the words he promised those wandering wizards before, he left them all behind.

He didn't have time to delay, and Farnes would arrive at any moment - he wasn't sure if he would be able to return what he had promised after the other party knew what he wanted!

When he walked to the door of the chapel, Kahlan clearly felt the traces of the power of the void, and it seemed that even the door in front of him had become a little strange. But without hesitation, he pushed open the door and walked straight in.

The main hall of the church is quiet, and the statue of the Holy Cross placed in front of it is cold and solemn, which makes people can't help but worship.

But in reality, the sculpture of the Holy Cross was the work of a wizard, and the corners of Kahran's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile. Raising his wand unhurriedly in front of the sculpture, the gray-blue light gathered on the tip of the wand and touched it lightly.

And then......

Nothing happened.

"How could this be?!" Karan, who was furious, almost blurted out that he had already handed over the key to the little beggar, and that he should not dare to disobey his orders!

What went wrong? Could it be that the key he made was invalid, or was Peter discovered it and replaced the unlocked charm? Or ......

"If I were you, I wouldn't be so surprised now. ”

When a terrified Karan turned around, he saw a young man with black hair sitting on a church chair, smiling at him with a scripture in his hand.

"Loren Turin?!" There was no need to doubt or confirm it, Karan, who gritted his teeth, knew who this person was, and the wand in his right hand was directly on Loren's forehead: "It's you?!"

"That's half right, Mr. Karan. Loren, who was holding the other party's wand, still had a fearless smile on his face, and his eyes were full of confidence: "The other half thanks you for your help." ”

"Thank me?"

"If it weren't for your special hat—oh, the little beggar you've fed psychedelics, I wouldn't have found this place. Loren sighed and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid I'll never know why you killed Father Anthony." ”

"I can probably guess why you gave the key to the hat. After all, it takes a lot of energy to activate such a mechanism, which is too much for even a true wizard. So you've got a substitute for the dead, even if his head will blow up because of it. ”

"Is that little thing your person?" Karan immediately reacted, his expression even more angry: "I knew that I shouldn't trust these lowly pariahs!"

"Oh, is it?" Loren asked with a smile, "because my dear hat did your bidding, otherwise how would I have found this church?"

"Let me keep guessing. If that's right, I'm afraid you're in league with Farnes - otherwise he wouldn't have had to cover for you and blame Green Lyle for everything that happened in Gumwood. This is simply unconscionable, how can a wizard cooperate with a member of the church?"

"Unless you're his subordinate or something from the start. I'm afraid that the commotion in Gumu Town before was also related to that Fanesis-sama, and even tonight it was a trap set by you and that Fanesis-sama, so that he could justifiably send troops, and then turn the entire Vimpal Academy to ashes!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Karan, who put away his wand, clapped his hands and laughed instead of being angry: "Clever, you are so clever - but did you know Loren Turin, smart people often die of talking too much, because you like to show off too much!"

"You think I won't kill you after knowing so much?!"

"On the contrary, because you willingly listened to me talk so much nonsense, you really lost the opportunity to kill me. ”

Closing the scripture in his hand, Loren, who slowly stood up, sighed: "If you did it just now, it is really possible to kill me, but now it seems that the Holy Cross is still on my side." ”

"What are you talking about?!" Karan, who suddenly noticed some movement, took a half step back in horror.

"Do you know why that mechanism didn't react just now? Loren smiled eerily.

"Because I would have opened it up a long time ago. ”
