Half an hour ago in the Square of Truth.

The crossbow blade that flashed with cold light was aimed at the crowd with the highest opposition, like a hand, and slammed the neck of the noisy man, leaving only the embarrassment and absurdity of the words after they were forcibly interrupted.

The picture is comical like a mime, and after a short silence, the crowd erupts into a great panic.

"Quiet!"

There was a loud shout from nowhere, and the restless crowd was startled and stopped the commotion.

Immediately after that, the sound of uniform footsteps came from a distance, and a great earthquake trembled. When people looked back, they were shocked to find a torrent of steely guards pouring out of nowhere in the streets of the Cruze neighborhood, dressed in jet-black shining armor, showing terrible discipline in their gestures, and it only took a few minutes to gather the whole square from the sudden appearance to the regrouping and the whole square being separated.

"The ...... of the Guards of the Royal City"

Philip muttered in the crowd, Rao is scout, he didn't notice anything unusual tonight, this is certainly related to the fact that he has not been out of the school for a long time, but on the other hand, no one thought that this team of 4,000 people would be broken into pieces and placed outside the imperial city, and the people of the security station would steal beams and change pillars, and appear at this time.

This was a premeditated bloodshed, and no, the word "bloodshed" had to be removed for the time being, because it was very likely that it would turn into a peaceful evolution of the conflict.

Thanks to the special topography of the Square of Truth, after the Guards blocked one of the exits, there were only two ways to leave the square, one was to enter the palace, and the other was to fly into the sky with wings......

The people who can appear here tonight have at least some eyesight, and they also understand that they can't act rashly at this time, so after the situation was slightly controlled, countless eyes fell on the people in the tower.

In addition to the two main priests who knelt in front of Philo and trembled like chaff, there were also many people in the tower this time. As in previous years, several celebrants with a knight order of nearly a hundred people, although there were no horses, but a bright silver armor was also very telling. Samurai were generally not allowed to wear weapons on such festivals, but the Tatars were able to ignore this rule...... However, now, in front of the heavy crossbow, this is far from enough.

Ordinary people can't understand whether there is a pope in the tower this time, and what it means that the pope is not coming...... But the nobles who were desperately hoping for a savior at this time did not think so, and they craned their necks in the hope that someone would put an end to the farce.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a white-haired chief priest stood up.

"God so loved the world."

He said in a tone of pity, his gaze swept over Sen Ran's crossbow blade, and he made no secret of the disdain in his eyes.

"God forgives the foolish and the astray."

"But that doesn't mean that God will forgive all slander and blasphemy, and let demagogues go unchecked."

The short words seemed to have been a strong agent and penetrated into the hearts of all believers. A large number of people in the aristocratic camp were all moved to tears, and they almost knelt on the ground to bow and worship, but it was a pity that the mouth cannon of the main priest was a little worse than the shining crossbow blade that could be fired at any time.

They also need to be more violent.

The white-haired priest seemed to understand this, and now that it was time for the Tower to survive, he glanced at Clarke, who was facing the crowd at this time, as if looking for something.

Feeling his gaze, Lord Duke frowned and looked over, and their eyes collided in the air.

There seems to be a warning in this.

Warn me?

The priest snorted inwardly, he felt that the tower had been silent for too long, giving the mortals a chance to think that they could make a splash.

The priestess apparently didn't understand what the Duke really meant: so far, apart from this sudden appearance of the Guards and the Heavy Crossbow, the royal family has not played any cards...... Maybe in the eyes of this chief priest, they don't have hole cards, but he doesn't want to think that the royal family without any hole cards dares to declare war like this? Taking 10,000 steps back, if you can go to heaven with such a meager force, then why has the royal family been silent for so long......

The reason why they dare to do this is that there must be a backhand. The reason why it has not yet appeared is because it is not yet the time to appear...... Especially when Gaine vaguely guessed who the card was, this gave the tower a kind reminder, at this time, wouldn't it be a chance to give the other party a chance to play the cards?

This kind of thing, if the division is unknown, it becomes a simple show off of their own strength, which is easy to attract disgust and boredom, and the reason why the royal family is waiting is to lead to the counterattack of the tower, and then they fight back. If each hand is pinned down just right, it is not only the strength that is consumed between the attack and the defense, but also the majesty and mystery of the tower in the eyes of onlookers, as well as building momentum for the royal family.

It's a pity that the chief priest doesn't understand this, he doesn't understand that he is being used as a stepping stone, and tonight the royal family will step on them and stand on the top step by step.

The Duke had already begun to think about the fate of the House of Council, and whether they won or lost tonight, they could not stay out of it. It's just that which side should be joined and when, and that becomes the question.

He is more looking forward to seeing a lose-lose situation, and when he becomes the straw that breaks the balance, he has the absolute right to speak.

On the other side, the white-haired priest put down his cruel words and slowly came to a statue.

There are four statues of the main priest of the tower in the square, and now there is a chief priest standing next to each one.

The four of them looked at each other, each nodded, and put their hands on the statue, their bodies glowing with a soft milky white light.

Then, as if the prayer with an ethereal singing voice gradually sounded, it became ethereal......

"God says, 'Whoever slanders me, if he repents, will be forgiven.'

"God says, Whoever blaspheme, if stubborn, will return to the elements.

"God says, Whoever returns to the elements will be redeemed by me."

……

As the prayers grew louder, the light emitted from the statue became more and more dazzling, and the light came to them along the arms of the priest, and the divine power stored in the statue continued to strengthen their bodies, and in Clark's solemn gaze, the momentum of the four people continued to rise, as if there was no end.

He couldn't help but look at the crowd.

At the moment, any one of these four people is enough to destroy all the current power of the royal family, and the heavy crossbow is not a problem, and once the two sides tear their faces, there is no humanity and sympathy, with that group of nobles as the backing, even if the main priest stabs the king, no one will say anything...... After all, Jialan is a kingdom ruled by many nobles after all.

How would you cope? He had a vague expectation.

Soon, his expectations were answered.

He was met with four deafening explosions in quick succession.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The explosion came without warning, so suddenly that the Duke didn't even react!

It wasn't anything else, it was the four statues that were originally glowing, and they suddenly exploded in their extreme light! The dust instantly enveloped the square, and the huge impact destroyed the bodies of the nearest priests, and the four of them were like rag bags, cutting through the night sky with long tails from the dust, and the light on their bodies had not disappeared, and they really looked as bright as meteors......

The sound of the explosion stunned the crowd for a moment, and then they began to agitate, pushing backwards in a panic to escape.

At the critical moment, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, a steady voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Quiet!"

"Don't panic!"

"The aftermath is over!"

Jialan Academy had a day off, and there were not a few mage instructors in the crowd watching the battle, and it happened that the people of the Mage Association also left the Tower of Time rarely. As a result, the crowd continued to rise with light shields of different colors, stopping the debris of the statue's explosion along with the impact.

Despite the strength of the mages and the speed of their strikes, the shield was still crumbled by the rubble and impact, and was once deformed.

After all the dust settled, several teachers from Jialan Academy took action and used gusts of wind to disperse the haze in the square.

There are four large craters left where the statue should have stood, and the radial blast marks look shocking......

As for the four chief priests, they turned into meteors and made hard landings one after another after cutting through the night sky, and their bodies were basically only half left, and they had already died too long ago to die anymore, and the parents present hurriedly covered their children's eyes and couldn't bear to look at them directly.

Only then did everyone realize that a shield appeared next to the king and prince who were the second closest to the explosion, and a short middle-aged man was standing behind Philo.

"That's Master Bena, the teacher of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Someone whispered an explanation.

"There is indeed a shadow of the Mage Association behind this......

"Nonsense, I'm also from the Mage Association, how come I don't know?"

"Uh...... Well......"

At this point, Fello, who had been silent, spoke, his voice full of sarcasm and ridicule.

The four statues were erected in the 114th, 127th, 168th and 177th years of the Faith Era. It was originally built to commemorate and commemorate the believers who died in the battle to eradicate heresy. However, what the four priests have just done tells us that these four statues were originally built as weapons!

"Just ask me, the tower expected this day more than 600 years ago, and it was expected that a prince would declare war on the tower at this moment, so they were prepared in advance, or were they ready to declare war on the royal family at any time and wherever they were!? Priests of the Tower, answer me! ”

There were originally twelve priests in the tower, one had died in pursuit of Miller, four had just died, and now two knelt in front of Fellor, and five were left to move. But none of these five people can stand up at the critical moment, so they have survived until now...... A few people, you look at me, I look at you, one by one was asked speechlessly, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The atmosphere gradually became wrong, under the half-month-long momentum of "Smanius", the hearts of people in Falan City were already fluctuating, and now no one could answer Fei Luo's question, which was enough to explain the problem, and even the group of believers who were extremely firm in their beliefs began to hesitate and retreat.

Among the remaining five, a bloated middle-aged man was faintly leading, he looked at the aggressive Philo, and then at the Duke Clarke, who frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and passed a message.
