Chapter 460: Infighting
Erza's cocooning action frightened the archangel Zhan Shi, who was on guard, and stared at his unsheathed long sword with a brush, and one of them asked in shock: "Erzac, what are you doing?" ”
Elzac said in a deep voice, "The situation has changed, Pierce and they were killed by those Negans!" And there is no resurrection! The original plan has failed, and we need a new plan! ”
The four archangel warriors were all taken aback when they heard this, and with a look of disbelief on their faces, they looked at each other, and the angel who had asked out loud before asked again, "What is the new plan?" What are you going to do with the patriarch?.
His voice trembled a little, and the other three, the archangel was also staring nervously at Anerzac at this time.
Elzac stopped his movements and turned to look at them: "The matter has come to this, we have no way out, my performance before may have made Howard suspicious, in case he notices it, Pierce and they are finished again, not only will the opportunity for this angel clan rise be wasted now." We're going to be in trouble too! And I've waited so long that I don't want to wait any longer! Because the next opportunity, I don't know when it will appear! Our people don't have so much time to waste! What's more, what Howard is thinking about is to break away from the empire! He's already doing something! If we fail this time, he will follow his idea and lead our people on a completely different path than we thought! That's what he's meeting with those Negans tonight! I can't let that happen! So, he has to die now! ”
"As long as he dies, the clan must re-elect the patriarch, then we still have a chance, Howard said, if he has an accident, the elders who are close to him will recommend me to the next patriarch with his own letter. I'm sure Gillian will do what Howard wants! Because they also have a good impression of me, this is also a good opportunity for me to be stunned by their support! As long as they fall to me, the radicals will also fall to me! The conservatives will support me as long as I don't make the same decision to leave the empire as Howard! In this way, our people will be united again because of me! Then I can slowly implement our plan and slowly change the minds of my people."
"I don't want to do anything to Howard, but I don't have any other way right now!" Speaking of this, Elzac's eyes swept over the faces of the four companions one by one, "I know you can't do it, so this matter is up to me, it has nothing to do with you, all the sins, by me, people will bear it!" You just have to keep following me in the future! ”
After speaking, Elzac turned around violently and handed the long sword in his hand straight into Howard's chest, and Howard, who was in a coma, was hit hard, his eyes opened violently, and his mouth opened wide, wanting to shout. But he couldn't scream, and a pair of trembling and weak hands stretched out to the long sword inserted in his chest, but before he could touch it, Elzak pulled the long sword back again.
The four archangels didn't expect Elzac to move so fast, they didn't have time to stop it, and they were all stunned on the spot when they saw this.
Elzac was now hideous, his hand kept moving, the long sword stabbed out again, retracted, stabbed again, retracted, retracted, and after a few reciprocating, Howard was already lying motionless in a pool of blood.
His eyes were wide open, and he looked at Elzac fixedly, full of anger and unwillingness. There was a hint of clarity and regret, apparently that he recognized his murderer before he died, and he also figured out something.
At this time, the four archangels finally recovered from the strong shock caused by this sudden upheaval, and they all trembled when they looked at the tragic situation in front of them.
One of the archangels even pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword. Staring at Erzac's back, he gritted his teeth and said, "You said before that our plan will not bleed the clansmen!" You told us that we were going to take control of the people by peaceful means! You also said that you will never make a move on your clansmen! But what are you doing now? Although the patriarch has a different philosophy from us, what he does is not for the sake of the clan? How can we kill him! That's not right! We could have solved this in a different way! "That's what I said, but it's not the same time anymore! Plans for this kind of thing must also be changed as the situation changes! Erzac replied with a cold voice, slowly turned around, and looked back at the archangel who was questioning him, blood dripping from the tip of the long sword in his hand. The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel! I now understand that change requires sacrifice, and where there is sacrifice there is bloodshed! But as long as we succeed, as long as we make the Angel Clan the strongest existence, all sacrifices. All the bloodshed is worth it! I hope you can understand this too! ”
"I don't understand! I don't want to understand it! The angel with his hand on the hilt hissed, "That's not right! In any case, the patriarch should not die, throw off the hands of revenge! It's all for the future of our people. Why can't you sit on the card and freeze it? You have to use such drastic and extreme means! Get out of the way, I want it
He didn't finish his words, but he suddenly exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly pulled back.
Elzak didn't wait for him to finish. He struck at him, and the long sword, which was still stained with Howard's blood, slashed at his face at lightning speed, if he hadn't been on guard, he might not have been able to dodge.
Elzac's martial arts skills are so high that even among the angel clans, it is rare, and in the great battle of that year, in the battle to recover Standwick City, he single-handedly killed two black dragons and three red dragons, and his achievements were brilliant. Thinking of this, the archangel couldn't help but be shocked, and he was even more angry that Elzac didn't hesitate to attack him, because he didn't expect Elzac to even want to kill himself. Don't dare to be careless at the moment, launch it with all your might, and the long sword is unsheathed like lightning.
But his movements were still half a beat slower, because in addition to Elzac, two other archangels also suddenly attacked him, and his full attention was on Elzac. But he didn't expect that other companions would also attack him behind his back, and he was caught off guard and was immediately cut to the ground, seriously injured and dying.
Seeing that he had lost the ability to resist, Elzak looked coldly at the last archangel standing on the side at a loss: "What about you?" What kind of decision did you make? Would you like to take our plan with me? ”
The angel hesitated for a moment with a complicated expression, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Our plan can't be stopped!" ”
As he spoke, he walked over to his companion, who had fallen to the ground and was seriously injured, bent down to pick up the long sword that the other had fallen to the ground, and stabbed it down with a low roar.
Seeing that he made his position clear with practical actions, Little Elzak nodded, then looked at the remaining three archangels and said: "Dig a pit and bury them, and find an opportunity to bury them well in the future!" Hurry up, the griffin of the emperor should be coming! ”
"How are you going to tell Elder Gillian about this?" An angel asked worriedly. Because of nervousness and excitement, his voice trembled a little.
"It's simple, just put the matter on those Negans!" Elzac said in a cold voice, "Anyway, they also killed Elder Pierce, and no amount of charge is too many!" Let's just say that on the way back we were attacked by another group of Negans and traitors from their tribe, and that the patriarch and a member of their tribe were taken captive by them, and we didn't know if they lived or died, and we fought hard! Wait a minute, remember to get some injuries on each other's bodies! Don't do it yourself. Gillian: They'll see it! ”
The three archangels answered, and began to act, at this time they were in the wilderness, so they found a suitable place, and dug a pit with the long sword in their hands, although it was inconvenient, but they were victorious, and their movements were not slow, and they dug a big pit enough to bury two corpses in a while. And then put Howard and that. The body of the archangel was put in and carefully buried.
Fearing that the marks on the ground would arouse suspicion, Elzak and the three archangels found a boulder from a short distance, carried it there, and placed it on top of the pit to cover up.
After all this, everyone was already discouraged, it seemed that it was really like a big battle, and then according to what Elzac said, he made some injuries on his body, and Elzac was also ruthless. He actually let an archangel stab a sword in his abdomen, causing blood to flow and hastily bandage it, and they hurriedly flew towards the place where Pierce and the others fought with the Negans before.
Seeing their appearance, and seeing Howard's figure, Jilian and the other angels couldn't help but be shocked. Pressed back on what had happened, Elzac recounted the situation he had fabricated. His acting skills were quite good, and he burst into tears, and three fellow archangels testified, but Ji Lian and the others were not suspicious.
"Elder Jilian, you quickly lead people to chase and occupy it, don't have to rescue the patriarch back!" Elzak clutched Gillian's hand tightly and said sadly, "They haven't gone far yet, it should be too late now!" I was seriously injured and already had limited mobility. Just stay here and deal with the Empire! ”
Gillian was both anxious and angry. Seeing that Elzac was seriously injured, he did not suspect him, so he first sent an angel back to the clan to report the news, and brought people to help chase down Negan and a group of angels with limited mobility in the rescue field, and then hurriedly gathered people and personally led people to chase after him in the direction pointed by Elzac, only the other oldest elder with some weaker angels stayed behind to take care of Erzak and others and those angels who had just been resurrected.
Shortly after they left, a large group of griffons sent by the Emperor**, who were alarmed by the previous battle. I finally arrived at the scene.
