Chapter 190: Reversing Black and White
This title left Duke Boval and General Windthor at a loss, and even before Windthor returned, he was only told that he had to invite the Archbishop and Count Catlana to the halls of Stormwind Fortress, and that among them were traitors. When Onexia showed up, Windsol was the end, but for now, it seemed that their revered archbishop was not so innocent.
The speculation was terrifyingβas a native of Stormwind, Benedictas was second only to the king in prestige. Even more prestigious than Varian, who has been questioned for several years due to the rebellion of the Masonry Brotherhood.
How could such a respected priest be a traitor?
If that's true, who else can you trust in Stormwind?
Wendthor was drenched in a cold sweat. Why is his country so troubled?
Benedictas's eyes sparkled, "I don't know what you're talking about!" But I must slay this evil black dragon! In the name of the Light! β
"You can't fool more people anymore. Benedictas. We are well aware of your details, Twilighthammer, Father Twilight, the Elder Gods, and all your machinations are under our control. Jiang Weihan's long sword pointed at the archbishop, "Grab it, and then explain it, this is your only way out!" β
"Delusional!" Benedictas shouted, waved his hand, and suddenly summoned a wave of majestic golden holy light, which almost swept through most of the palace, thinking of Jiang Weihan and the others rushing away.
"The Light will devour you!" Benedictas shouted angrily.
This wave contains the power of pure light, not mixed with the slightest evil. Berval, Windsor, and even Varian could hardly believe that someone who could wield such powers could be the leader of a cult.
But there is no right or wrong Light. The people of the Holy Light Sect see it as a power from faith, but in reality it is only the power of the Holy Light creature Naru.
Jiang Weihan and Kyle are both masters of the power of the Holy Light. And they have all been exposed to the essence of the Light. So this so-called "wave of virtue" does not pose a threat. The sword of judgment and the power of the Silver Judgment have completely dissipated the tide of light.
Benedictas' other Holy Light spell attacks were all blocked by the two. If it weren't for revealing his true colors, Jax and Panson would have attacked. Anna took advantage of this time to untie the forbidden handcuffs on Onexia's wrists.
"Thank you!" Onexia said gratefully. But she immediately remembered that it was this witch who had ruined her plan, and she immediately snorted coldly.
"Hey, wizard, how do you know the language of the dragons?" Onexia asked.
"Ask your master. He gave it to me. Anna replied coldly.
That spell was given to her by Jiang Weihan. And Jiang Weihan got it from the Black Dragon Assassin Farad of Ravenhold Manor. So Onexia ended up in the hands of her own people.
After discovering that the Light's attack was ineffective, Benedictas stopped the meaningless spellcasting. At this moment, there was a sudden violent impact in the direction of the gate, and a group of huge monsters smashed the gate and rushed in.
They resemble octopus monsters in humanoid form, walking upright with three tentacles on their faces. The arms are also tentacles, covered with terrible suction cups.
The monsters rushed straight into the crowd, letting out a terrible roar.
"The Faceless!" Anna snorted. She had seen such evil servants of the Elder Gods. During the Cataclysm, these guys appeared on a large scale.
Benedictas took a few steps back, and the Faceless protected him. Now the truth has been revealed. The few people in Stormwind City have finally seen the true face of the archbishop.
Varian asked aloud, "Archbishop." You were once seen as the embodiment of the Light. Benedictas. How can you betray the people! β
Benedictas did not have the slightest shame, and after his identity was completely exposed, he transformed into a shadow form, and his whole person seemed to be hidden in the night, exuding an aura of evil and horror.
"If you can see what I see, you'll understand! There is no good, no evil, and no divine light in this world. Only power is the ultimate one! β
Benedictas became frantic and nervously shouted, "We serve this righteous master of this world!" When His order comes, we will share in their glory! The world will be ruined! And those who disobey their masters. It will also be ruined! Only those who serve Him sincerely can live forever! β
"You're crazy!" Varian said bitterly. He drew his sword and prepared to destroy Stormwind's second tumor. A cancer even more terrible than Onexia!
Varian is right, Benedictas has gone mad! He was seduced by the ancient gods and made them the only Allah in the world. He believed that when the end of time came, only the Elder Gods, the Faceless One, and the servants who worshiped the Elder Gods would remain, and that all the others would be ruined.
Jiang Weihan didn't know if this was the truth. But even so. He will do his best to prevent such a terrible thing from happening.
Onexia said in hindsight: "I just said that there was a senior executive who had been helping me before. That's why I was so smooth. That's it! β
The other heroes were speechless for a moment, and Anna said coldly, "Can you be a little more stupid?" You really believed that when he wanted to kill someone? β
Anna had thought that this female black dragon would be able to trick the people of Stormwind City around. Later, I deceived her, and thought she was a character with excellent IQ and emotional intelligence. Now it seems that without Benedictas's covert help, she might not have been able to do anything but seduce men!
As he spoke, the two sides were already fighting again.
Benedictas, who transformed into a shadow form, summoned a wave of shadows and lunged at everyone. Jiang Weihan and Kyle had a clear heart, and their swords were raised high to summon a barrier of holy light, and shouted to the others, "Come in!" β
Except for Onexia and Anna, who were able to fly temporarily, everyone else ran in quickly when they saw the opportunity.
The Light Barrier was like a safe haven in the Black Tide, where those standing in it were unharmed, while elsewhere, the smooth stone floors had been mottled by the power of the Shadows. And the corpses of the several dragonman warriors scattered around were even more corroded in the shadow energy.
Benedictas immediately commanded the Faceless Ones as soon as he performed this trick: "Hold them back!" β
And he himself rushed to the door, ready to escape. His retinue had just reverted back to the Faceless and forcibly breached the gates of Stormstormhold, which had caught the attention of the other guards in the distance. When the big army arrived, he really couldn't escape!
Benedictas was to serve his master with a useful life. Twilight's plan for the hammer has not yet materialized. How could he die?
The Faceless Ones rushed forward, trying to stop the heroes behind them.
Jiang Weihan said loudly: "You can't let him go!" Kyle, let's go! β
He unleashed his wings of light, and his wings snapped out of the air, followed by Kyle. Others were temporarily stopped by the Faceless One. These servants of the Elder Gods, though fierce, were not enough to pose much of a threat to the remainder. The main thing is not to let the mastermind escape. Otherwise, who knows what trouble Benedictas will cause in the future?
Jiang Weihan and Kyle chased after him. The remaining heroes began to deal with the Faceless.
These evil minions are large in size and have very strange attack methods, and they can easily drain their power when hit by their tentacles. Anna warns the heroes to be careful.
At this time, Onexia turned back into her real form and took a deep breath. And yelled, "Get out of the way, let these little things see my wrath!" β
She let out a breath of angry dragon breath, wanting to vent all her grievances today on these ugly monsters.
The curtain of fire obscured the view of the others, but they could all hear the sound of roasting meat from the direction of the Faceless. There was also a disgusting burnt smell.
After this breath of dragon breath, Onexia finally felt much more comfortable. She looked triumphantly at the Faceless Ones, all of whom had been roasted to a point of rote, and were almost dead if they weren't dead.
Several heroes went up to mend their swords one by one, and said that all the Faceless ones were killed.
Varian looked at the red-baked ground and the surrounding pillars where the stone began to melt. Glaring at Onexia, he said in a deep voice, "After this, I will send you a bill for the losses you caused." β
"Whatever!" Onexia was on her toes. Now that she has a new master, she no longer has to deal with this group of mortals in Stormwind, "What I have is money!" Just tell your people to move to my dragon's lair! β
Anna strode out with her staff in her hand, and prompted, "Don't you think it's time to go to Ginger and Kyle's aid?" β
ββ
Benedictas rushed out of the palace gates and reverted to his archbishop. It was at this time that the Supreme Commander of the City Defense Forces, Marcus. Jonathan rushed over with a large group of soldiers.
Marcus saw that he was very wolfish and immediately grabbed the reins. "Archbishop, what happened?" β
Benedictas gestured to Kyle and Kang Weihan, who were rushing behind him. "General Jonathan, this group of peopleβthis group of people murdered His Majesty the King, Duke Boval, and General Reginard in Stormwind Fortress. They're sent by the devil! They're after me! β
"What!" Marcus, who has always been known for his strict appearance and unfazed appearance, was shocked at this time. This group of people who came back with the king are demons? Killed the king in Stormstormhold?
The soldiers he brought with him were also shocked. They had only heard of the king's return from an expedition an hour before. He also ordered all the people to retreat to the New World, how could they be suddenly killed?
"Stop them! I'm looking for reinforcements! Benedictas said hurriedly.
"Leave it to me! They don't want to hurt you! Marcus angrily drew his sword and shouted at the equally indignant soldiers: "Kill them and avenge the king!" β
"Revenge! Avenge! The soldiers followed and drew their weapons.
Jiang Weihan and Kyle had already flown close at this time, and they also heard Benedictas's words reversing black and white, and they couldn't help but be extremely indignant. This cult leader is quite good at acting!
"General Marcus, what Benedictas said is all a lie! He's betrayed Stormwind! Your king is still in Stormstormhold, you can send someone to take a casual look and make sure!" Jiang Weihan defended loudly, "If you let Benedictas go, do you know what kind of danger he will cause in the future?" β
"I won't believe your nonsense!" Marcus shouted angrily.
"Kill them!" He again ordered the soldiers to attack.
On one side is His Excellency the Archbishop, who is loved by everyone, and on the other hand, there is an unknown person. Marcus chose to believe the former with almost no hesitation.
Jiang Weihan knew that explanations were useless. There were archers and mages in the city defense units who had already targeted them.
"Avoid them!" Jiang Weihan said to Kyle. These people are deceived, and they can't just go on a killing spree. What's more, if time is wasted here, it will only allow Benedictas to successfully escape.
The two of them flapped their wings and flew high. Fireballs, ice arrows, javelins, and crossbows shot from below were all fired out or dodged by them.
Seeing this, Marcus immediately blew the trumpet, followed by the rapid sound of the bell tower. This is an urgent call for all the troops to encircle and suppress the target. The griffin knights, who were patrolling the skies over Stormwind, heard the bell and immediately chased in the direction where Jiang Weihan and Kyle were.
Jiang Weihan saw that Benedictas had also summoned a pair of wings in front of him, and was struggling to fly out of the city, and immediately applied time acceleration to himself and Kyle to increase their speed, and even used the power of nature to summon a wind to send them downwind.
With the blessing of two powers, they quickly approached Benedictas. Seeing that they were about to catch up, suddenly a group of griffon cavalry swept through the air, and the Storm Hammer and Javelins hurled at them.
Sudden change. When Kyle saw the two javelins flying straight towards Jiang Weihan, he immediately imposed divine protection on him, and a golden shield protected him. At the same time, there are two Storm Hammers flying Kyle, and Jiang Weihan also fights the Holy Shield to protect Kyle.
Originally, both of them could have protected themselves, but they both chose to rescue each other. Jiang Weihan was shrouded in a holy shield, and two javelins were loaded on it, and they fell from front of him with two clanging sounds.
For some reason, a warm current was born in his heart.
He glanced quietly at the angel next to him, and she seemed as cold as ever. I wonder if there will be such a warm current in her heart?
Jiang Weihan shook his head and shook off such thoughts, it was more important to pursue Benedictas in front of him. I'll think about the rest later!
Several griffin knights rushed up with shouts, and Jiang Weihan activated the power of nature and instantly communicated with the griffins.
'Take them back!' He hinted at the griffons with mental power.
The griffons' fierce eyes calmed down when they came into contact with his spirit, and with a few chirps, they turned around in mid-air, carrying the knights back the way they came. No matter how much the knights shouted, they would not listen to orders. Jiang Weihan suddenly remembered that when he first came to this world, he also tamed two griffons on the Dream Tree, one for him and Kyle. He later left them to Stratholme's professional trainers for training. Later, he ran around and had no time to care for and use the griffins, so he had to be kept by professional keepers.
Now he suddenly missed the two griffons who were now in Pearl City. (To be continued)
