Chapter Seventy-Five: Killing the King

"Ahhh

The king was so angry that he could not utter any angry words, so he took up the scepter in his hand and smote it at the high priest.

"Idiot." The high priest pursed his lips in disdain, and with a quick leap of two steps, he dodged the king's irrational attack.

But he didn't expect the queen to be exposed, and the king was even more angry when he saw the queen, and shouted: "Slut! I'll kill you! ”

The scepter in his hand immediately struck at the queen!

The queen exclaimed, and collapsed on the ground as if she were stupid, unable to move, but at the critical moment, she heard the high priest say angrily: "Don't hurt her!" ”

As a true god priest who has received divine grace, the strength of the high priest is only one step away from the epic, and his strength exploded under his anger, approaching the king in the blink of an eye, and kicking him in the waist!

There was a crack of bone-cracking, and the king flew out screaming, hitting his head against the solid stone wall, and immediately his brain burst and red and white splashed!

"Ah!!h

The queen was splashed on her face by the red ** body, as if she had just reacted, screaming almost out of control, or the high priest hurriedly squatted down and hugged her, patted her back, and whispered comfort in her ear, and it took a long time for the queen to slowly calm down.

The queen winced and glanced at the king's terrible corpse, and hesitated, "Is this ...... We, what do we do? ”

"Afraid of what?" In front of the beloved woman, the high priest was full of courage and fearlessness, and said proudly: "How can I say that I am also the high priest of the temple, my men are outside, and we will leave the palace now!" The plan has changed, I'm going back to use the power of the temple to say that someone has assassinated the king, the outsider! Let's just say that he did it, and when the time comes, I will avenge the king, and after killing the outsider, the king will have no heirs, and I will be able to succeed to the throne smoothly! ”

The queen was cramped in the arms of the high priest, and when she heard his words, the corners of her mouth showed a slight arc of sneering, but her mouth trembled: "Okay...... I, I listen to your ......"

"Don't be afraid, you won't be hurt with me......" The high priest comforted him softly for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

"Yes, master!" The guards who were guarding the outside rushed in and saluted the high priest in unison.

The high priest looked at them coldly, and said coldly: "A bunch of fools, you can't stop anyone!" Now escort me to the temple at once, and if you make any mistakes, I'll send you all to feed the crocodiles!" ”

Although it is common sense for the guards to retreat from fear of the king, how can the superior consider the reason for the lower? It was not because the high priest was kind enough to condemn rather than kill people directly, but that he wanted to break out of the palace and still need manpower.

The guards hurriedly agreed, both protecting and shielding, and walked around the two of them towards the outside of the palace.

……

On the palace wall, the figure under the moonlight stood proudly, with a longbow in his hand, but no arrows.

The message brought by the night wind was interpreted by the talent of the Revenant, and the giant dog crouching at the foot of the wall roared, and many black-clothed warriors sitting or standing nearby suddenly stood up, their weapons unsheathed, and a cold light shone.

"Silence! Waiting for the instructions of the messenger! One of the warriors, a shirtless, strong and powerful warrior covered in scars, glared at everyone, first looked at Shepard standing on the three-person high palace wall, and scolded in a low voice.

Shepard's body did not move, but his voice was conveyed very clearly: "Commander Gree, please let the warriors continue to be patient, are our people in place?" ”

As the leader of the warriors of the temple of the goddess of spring, the strength of the high-level warriors is only below that of the high priest, but when he provoked Shepard, he was shocked by the other party's simple and deadly swordsmanship, and he also knew his strength at this time, and said calmly: "It's all ready, as soon as the news comes from the palace, people will publicize it everywhere, and the palace guards should have been alarmed at this time." ”

As he spoke, he heard a loud shout of murder in the direction of the palace, and many torches were raised high, and in the night they surrounded the palace like fiery snakes.

"This time His Excellency Meles personally intervened, but the king died at the hands of the high priest, although he was the first in battle, he had to go through a bloody battle to escape, and then I will lead all the warriors to besiege together, even when he was in his heyday, he is not as good as me, we will win this battle!" When the time comes, the temple will avenge the king and eradicate the traitors for the temple, and although the temple's reputation will be ruined, it will also be pushed to the head of the high priest. ”

Shepard seemed to be talking to himself, but the dark shadow in front of him fluctuated, revealing a female figure dressed as smooth and light as water, and the goddess of spring water whispered: "Except for the king and the high priest, after all, the kingdom is still my followers, and when the time comes, the temple will come forward to support the new king to ascend to the throne, but I will not make such a mistake again...... This time, I really want to thank His Highness Tonatiu. ”

Calling each other by the name of the gods is a sign of the closeness of the gods, and Shepard chuckled: "Your Excellency Meles is polite, we are already allies, and it is inevitable to help each other." ”

Thinking of the change in status, Meles sighed in her heart, but she was indeed not a strong character, and frowned slightly: "After all, the high priest has served me for many years, or ......"

Shepard knew what she meant, but said categorically, "Meleth! Since he has malicious intentions, he can't stay, and you must know that although powerful believers are rare, if they are no longer religious, it will be harmful! ”

Meles nodded silently and stopped talking, bowed slightly, and saw the moonlight falling, and the figure had disappeared.

"After all, she is a goddess, and she is born from a natural spirit, and the priesthood has also been affected...... However, kindness is more reassuring than treacherous, and since you can listen to persuasion, there are pros and cons. ”

Shepard knew that the goddess had retracted the projection, and only made a few simple comments in his heart, he looked down at the loyal giant dog lying on his stomach, this daylight hound has gradually transformed into a divine creature since it became a divine being, and the church erected an icon for it, deliberately preaching the teachings and stories related to the dead, which has exceeded the limits of mortal things, and is now nearly one and a half tall, squatting at the foot of the wall like a hill.

'If you want to talk about loyalty, there are examples in the previous life, from the gods most of them are promoted by followers or demon pets, often extremely loyal, although it is convenient to subdue the aborigines, but there are often hidden dangers, after all, they have been the masters of the house for a long time, who wants to send people under the fence? Unless something like the goddess of spring water is better, it can always be subdued subtly. ’

'So Taichong has been consciously cultivated by me, and the slow accumulation of divinity is capital, and it is very suitable to be promoted in the future, as a guide to the underworld or a guardian of the soul, especially dogs always seem to have a bonus in this arrangement, could it be caused by the talent of the gatekeeper? ’
