Chapter 240: Conflict Breaks Out

What's going on?

didn't have time to hesitate, Xia Nuo's eyes gestured to Kidd next to him, and the latter immediately nodded, moved a few steps sideways without hesitation, blocked in front of those black-robed people, and said in an unkind tone: "Hey! What are you going to do here? ”

Several black-robed people, all middle-aged women in their forties and fifties, only glanced at Kidd when they heard this, and then continued to drive Thea and the others forward disapprovingly.

It didn't feel too good to be ignored, Kidd was furious on the spot, and directly pulled out his sword from the sheath, pressed it against the throat of a black-robed woman in the front, and said sharply: "I see who dares to go over!" ”

At this moment, the faces of several black-robed women finally appeared in panic, and they shrank back while shouting for help in the direction of the church:

"Come on, someone, there are strangers who want to kidnap the priestess!"

"Lord Priest, please come and help!"

"The outlanders are starting to go wild!"

…………

The voices of these middle-aged women were sharp and piercing, and the movement caused by them instantly alarmed everyone on both sides of the carpet, and countless eyes converged on this side.

The cardinal who had just stepped on the top of the steps naturally noticed the commotion, he turned to look over there, frowned slightly, and an old man in a white robe beside him observed his words, saw this and immediately took a step forward, bowed down and said respectfully: "It seems to be a group of ignorant strangers who have caused a mess, Lord Bishop, do you want to go down and take a look?" ”

"I don't need you to go."

The cardinal glanced at the old man with some appreciation, then shook his head slightly, his gaze stopped on the face of another slightly chubby white-robed old man next to him, and his tone suddenly became cold: "What's the matter, Priest Aimo, the church has already told you about the time of my arrival three days ago, why are there still strangers here?" ”

"I, I ......"

The chubby old man known as Priest Aimo was obviously the head of the church in the town, and at this moment, under the questioning, cold sweat came down, and he stammered while wiping his sweat and explained:

"The outsiders in the town obviously only had six or seven people yesterday, and I have specially warned them that they are not allowed to come out today to cause trouble, my lord...... Lord Bishop, I'm real, I really don't know where these people came from......"

"Don't know?"

The cardinal gave him a cold look, "Then what should I do now, don't you want me to remind you anymore?" ”

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, your subordinates understand." Priest Aimo nodded busily.

Then he hurried down the steps, and after calling the captain of the knights, who was in charge of guarding the church, he led his party straight across the street to the place where the commotion had caused.

………………

At the same time, this side.

"What a reckless ......"

Looking at the crowd attracted by Kidd, Xia Nuo had a slight headache, this guy ...... I obviously just asked him to go up and ask about the situation, why did he just draw his sword and face each other without saying a word?

But things have come to this point, and it is obviously impossible to think about it well.

While those church guards in the distance surrounded them menacingly, the entire crew of the Tempest Pirates also drew their weapons one after another, and confronted the surrounding crowd while surrounding Xano.

However, before Xia Nuo gave the order, no one made the first move for a while, after all, everyone knew that these people who were staring at them with unkind faces were just a group of villagers, and they were not a threat at all for the time being.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

After about a minute or two, the escort led by Priest Aimo finally arrived, and as soon as the chubby old man entered the circle, he swept Xia Nuo and the others with a blank gaze, and then asked sharply:

"What are you strangers mad about, and why do you come to kidnap the priestesses chosen by the church?"

The old man said this very impulsively, Kidd's eyes narrowed, and he reflexively wanted to start, but before he could speak, Xia Nuo had already taken a step forward, his eyes fell on the old man's face, and he refuted it very unceremoniously: "Hijacking? In my opinion, you are the ones who kidnapped these girls, right? ”

Originally, he wasn't too sure if these people who claimed to be from the Vulcan Church had malicious intentions in bringing a few little girls over, but now that he heard the title of "priestess", it was obvious that there was basically no possibility of misunderstanding.

"Joke, the church came to choose the priestess, and being chosen was the greatest glory in their lives, so why hijack it!" Priest Aimo snorted coldly: "If you strangers don't know the rules, you should be honest as soon as you go to the island, this is not a place for you to come around!" ”

After speaking, he pulled out the saber at his waist and shouted suddenly: "Come on, take it for me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the group of church guards behind him immediately rushed forward with a roar.

I have to say that these guards do not look weak, they are strong and well-trained, and there are hundreds of them.

If you add in the guards who still stand on both sides of the church steps, it is estimated that there must be at least three hundred people—who knows how a town of a few thousand people could have put together so many guards......

Of course, strong is strong, and in front of the crew of the Storm Pirates who have experienced many battles, this bit of strength is still not enough.

Almost as soon as Xia Nuo gave the order to defend and counterattack, all the outer crew members took action, and in less than half a minute, a bunch of people fell on the ground, groaning in pain.

This is still the result of the cadres not exerting much force, and everyone has left some strength in their hands.

"This, this ......"

Priest Aimo froze again, he never thought that these guards under his command, who had been trained by almost the entire town, would be defeated so easily.

That's not right, when I cleaned up those messy outsiders before, which time didn't I take it easily?

Just as he was in a daze, Kidd had already walked up to him, and then, under the panicked gaze of Priest Elmo, he picked him up with a sinister smile, and dragged him back like an eagle catching a chicken, and threw it in front of Xano.

"Say it." The expression on Xia Nuo's face did not fluctuate, he looked down at the short and fat white-robed old man, and said in a slightly disgusted tone: "What kind of church do you have, what kind of 'priestess' do you want these girls to serve?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Priest Aimo looked confused, he obviously didn't want to answer the question too much, but in front of this group of strangers who were so disrespectful, he really couldn't stay reserved anymore—

Who knows if this group of crazy people will suddenly go crazy, what if they get upset and cut themselves directly, in that case, no matter how powerful the bishop is, he won't have time to rescue him.
