Chapter 9: The Rite of Retreat
Lyman frowned, with an undisguised anger on his face, of course, but nothing more than that—in fact, it was enough to be a man of chivalric qualities; For the rest, someone else will naturally do it for him; And just as Lyman had expected, Old Man Fletcher walked out with a smile.
"Captain Leman, we don't have any suspicion of you, it's just a few things......"
Old man Fletcher waved his hand to the apostolic leader of the Norsd family behind him, and suddenly, Regus, who was carrying a rabbit, walked out and took the rabbit in his nephew's hand, Old man Fletcher continued to smile and said: "For the sake of caution, we want to try it!" ”
"I can go first!"
Lyman showed his stubbornness.
"No, no, Captain Ryman, your character is already obvious to us, so we don't want any accidents from you!" Blanc walked out dangling his flask, pointing to the Gates of God not far away, and said, "Besides, I don't think it's something that can be done with bravery!" ”
"That's right!"
Dides nodded as well.
And with the nod of Dides, at once, none of those present except the Holy See objected; Even Lyman frowned and had to nod his head in agreement - the biggest advantage of playing a knight is that when faced with something that is not moral, you can always hide your will in other people's words.
The rabbit, which was used as a test item, was placed on the gate of God.
Then, Old Man Fletcher immediately took two steps back. Suddenly. A flash of light flashed. The rabbit was gone—not the teleportation failure he had expected, and some unexpected scenario.
Old man Fletcher and the representatives of the families behind him, the dark mercenaries looked at each other.
And Blank and the others and Dides also frowned slightly, with puzzlement - there was a problem with the Gate of God in front of him, which Blank was sure of, and he informed Dides; As for the notice of the tower master of the holy relics, Dides will definitely not turn a deaf ear.
However, something seems to be wrong.
"You don't have any opinions, do you?"
Lyman stepped out and looked around at the people around him; But. No one took the initiative to speak—that kind of doubt in the bottom of their hearts, and the feeling of not being good, made everyone present guess something, and even a few smart people guessed what their opinions were; But Lyman would never give these clever people a chance to explain.
He frowned again, as if he had been angered by several suspicions, and angrily walked to the 'Gate of God', stood in it, and said loudly, "I am the first person to enter the Gate of God. After that, I'll do a second teleportation. Prove that there are no problems here! ”
Lyman's words made the clever people stop thinking, and they obediently chose Lyman's approach—this was a similar way to what they imagined, except that this person was replaced by Lyman; And this is naturally better, no one wants their men to receive losses before they see the real enemy.
"Wait ......"
The Lord of the Athletic Tower stepped forward to stop this, but before he could finish his words, Lyman vanished into the light.
After that, there was quite a long silence.
For half an hour, there was no movement in front of the 'Gate of God'.
"Damn, what is that Iyeta guy doing again?!"
The Tower Master of Athletics stomped his foot hard - it was clear that the upright Tower Master was regretting that he hadn't stopped Lyman's movements.
"That guy has always been like this - all it takes is one result, and the process is never cared about by him!" Blank sneered, very disdainful of Iyeta's person, and then, he patted the shoulder of the Athletic Tower Master hard, and said slowly: "However, Lyman will be fine, at most he will be imprisoned!" ”
"For her own people, especially an 'honest' own person, Iyeta will always show her magnanimous side!" Dides also sneered, and no doubt he was no stranger to the current pope; At the same time, Dides looked around, and the aura became more and more intense, causing the strongest man of the supreme government to gesture to his hand and say, "And, instead of worrying about that Lyman, I think we should worry about ourselves!" ”
As if to confirm Dides's words, just as his words fell, they entered the gate of the gate, which closed with a thud - and this gate served as a teleportation room due to the existence of the 'God's Gate', and there was no double-sided passage.
To put it simply, the only access was blocked.
Immediately, the rich men who came casually began to shout, although not to panic, but definitely out of grace.
The rest of the people around him, including the dark mercenaries, just sneered.
Obviously, they were prepared for everything in front of them.
After all, it's just a wall that doesn't look good, even if it's made of iron, it's nothing to those of them with special abilities.
"If I were you, I wouldn't jump up in a hurry and see what was going on outside, but I would just smash this place!"
As a dark mercenary was about to jump on a wall that was not very high for the apostle, the strongest man of the supreme government said slowly; Facing Dides, who was wearing brown sunglasses with his hands folded over his chest, the dark mercenary hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to follow the other party's advice.
Of course, it is more because of the strength of the other party and the strength of the representatives.
Obeying the strong is not a shame in the eyes of the dark mercenaries - of course, it is precisely because of this principle that they cannot cooperate more deeply with the witchers and the supreme government.
After all, Iyeta is also an absolute powerhouse in some ways.
"Are you coming, or am I coming?"
Jemond looked at Blank, who shrugged his shoulders. He looked at Dides.
"You don't need to warm up?"
The Lord of the Tower of the Relic said with a slight smile.
"My warm-up show should be in the back!"
The answer of the strongest in the highest government. But with that meticulousness. Just like the expression on his face, he was always so dull, especially after the brown sunglasses also hid his eyes, few people were able to get some useful information from the strongest person in the supreme government.
In some ways, though, it's not without its benefits.
At the very least, the rich people who were still yelling before have calmed down. They all set their eyes on Dides, as if that dull, paralyzed face was synonymous with persistence and strength, giving them countless confidences - as for the witchers, the various families?
These tycoons from all over the Xialin District undoubtedly believe in the supreme government even more.
Or rather, they are more willing to trust the supreme government; After all, their property and necessities are under the jurisdiction of the highest government.
"Over to you!"
Without discerning any notable information from Dides, Blanc waved at his friend—for the Lord of the Relic Tower in the Sacred Forest, he would not be trusted by anyone except the witchers around him; Whether it is the Holy See, or the supreme government. Or it's the same for each family.
Because. These guys are ambitious!
It's no secret that the Supreme Government can't wait to unify Lorante.
And it is no secret that those various families want to restore the glory of their ancestors.
Therefore, if he could, Blank would rather take his own people out of this opportunity to enter the Sacred Grove District, and let these ambitious fellows earn a life and death; And then if there are two defeats and three defeats, then it is really great, they can really rest in the sense of the word, and Lorant does not need to be poisoned more.
In the eyes of this lazy Lord of the Relic Tower, it is best for all parties to recuperate until they forget themselves, do nothing, forget all strife, and maintain a stable order.
Unfortunately, such an idea is destined to be difficult to realize.
Ambition, this kind of thing, will always breed involuntarily, more silently and disgusting than the urine cocoon somewhere in the toilet.
The tower master of the competitive tower didn't know how to sigh helplessly in the bottom of his friend's heart, he just wanted to open the iron box, and then, beat the guys who might exist outside; Then, find the untold Lyman, the upright tower master, who has now attributed Lyman's accident to his own head.
Therefore, when facing this pure iron wall, the tower master of the Athletic Tower is extraordinarily serious-
Call!
With a long inhalation, the body of the Tower Master of the Athletic Tower swelled a few points under the surprised gazes of the people around him; Several members of the Supreme Government subconsciously exclaimed the words 'chariot', but Moretti shook his head secretly, he could see that this was not the secret technique of the Supreme Government.
After all, the opponent's blood did not change except for the change in breath, only the change in body shape was similar to that of the [Chariot].
Raising his legs and walking towards the steel wall, the Tower Master of the Athletic Tower stretched out his palm and gently placed it on the steel wall; There was no necessary temptation or other action as others imagined, and the palm placed on the steel wall was such a pressure.
Bang!
After everyone felt the ground shake, an exaggerated 'gate' appeared on the steel wall, and along with it, several slashes with holy flames.
The Tower Master of Athletics sneered disdainfully in the face of such an attack, he didn't even have a defense, so he let such an attack fall on him.
Boom, boom!
It was like the sound of swords clashing, and anyone with sharp vision could see that on the body of this sturdy old man, there were several sparks, but the body of the sturdy old man was unscathed - the Solar Flame was very powerful, and it could suppress most of the Apostles below the Solar Rank and even kill them directly; However, it is obviously not enough to deal with the existence above the solar level.
Click, click......
With the sound of broken bones, all of the attacking papal personnel were knocked away, and the Lord of the Athletic Tower twisted his muscular knotted neck. Walk out slowly.
Then there were Blank, Mordred and Dides.
Of course. and Ye Qi and his party - facing such an unknown. And it is full of dangerous situations, whether it is the families, the dark mercenaries, or those rich people, it is very wise to choose not to come out for the time being.
As for the Knights of the Holy Dragon and Little Thor?
It was completely hidden, and among the witchers, there was no intention of showing up; This was Ye Qi's order, and of course they obeyed it to the fullest.
The little man and 'Ye Qi' walked at the front of the four—
'Be careful, don't show your stuff!' ’
The little man gestures to two buddies.
'Rest assured! ’
'I know it! ’
Ava and the big man said separately.
"Tsk. What a grand welcome ceremony! ”
After receiving the response of the two friends, the little man whistled straight away, and looked at the armor in front of him that glowed with metal in the afternoon sun, as if it was a rippling wave in the middle of the lake, but compared to such a beautiful scenery, everything in front of him was murderous.
"I finally understand why our Captain Lyman is going to never return—that God's Gate is itself for His Excellency! That guy Iyeta is really disgusting, and he always has to get some means that can't be put on the table...... "Looking at the punishment knights in front of him, one phalanx after another. Blank shook his flask and heard a gurgling sound in the jug. I couldn't help but chuckle as my gaze swept to the people around me, "A few minutes, solve them?" ”
"Three minutes?"
The big man scratched his head and asked with some uncertainty.
"Have faith in yourself, one minute is enough!"
The little man patted his friend on the shoulder, laughed, and then pointed to the phalanx of punishment knights in front of him, and said, "Go, these iron cans will be handed over to you!" ”
"Oh, what a shame!"
The big man continued to scratch his head, and walked down with a good smile - the gate was built on a mound slightly higher than the flat ground, or, more accurately, an iron box was placed on this mound; It was a very empty wilderness all around, but at the moment it was surrounded by a dense circle of punishment knights.
As we all know, there are three major orders of knights in the Holy See, the highest holy knighthood, the middle knight of punishment, and the local knight cathar; Among them, the Holy Knights are directly responsible to the Pope and belong to a concept similar to the Imperial Guard, while the Knights of Punishment are the main battle legions, similar to the Lion Legion of the Supreme Government, and the local Knights of the Cathar are the local troops, which were placed about four hundred years ago, and were the private soldiers of the lords and nobles in various places.
It's just that after the end of the Holy Age, the combat effectiveness of the local Knights of the Protector has completely plummeted, and it is difficult to deserve the title of the so-called Knights.
Although many of them have received considerable training, when facing the real apostles, no matter how well trained ordinary people are, they are similar to militiamen; Especially when Iyeta became the head of the Inquisition, a large number of black-clad deacons were installed in it, so that the so-called Knights Cathar basically existed in name only.
Therefore, in the external battle, the punishment of knights on the surface has become the absolute main force of the Holy See.
As for secretly?
The black dogs in the Inquisition were extremely hateful.
Although many teams with special strength in the Holy See have more than the Punishment Knights, this does not mean that the Punishment Knights are weak.
On the contrary, the well-armed and battle-hardened Knights of Punishment have considerable strength.
This is true both individually and collectively; If it weren't for that, Iyeta wouldn't have been arranged for the opening of this 'welcome ceremony'.
It's just that even if you are well-equipped and battle-hardened, facing a big man who has stepped into the transcendent realm, it is still not enough to see-
Woo, woo......
When the long and short bugles just sounded, the big man had already walked down the small mound, he looked at the phalanx, approaching him, feeling the connection between the other party because of the battle formation, and his face was still so innocent, and no more expressions appeared.
In fact, anyone who is familiar with the big man knows it.
When facing acquaintances and friends, the big man's honest smile is a sign of friendliness.
And in the face of strangers and enemies, such a simple smile is just that the big man doesn't know what expression to put on to face these people.
It's not a disguise, it's just a simple sense of overwhelm.
Luckily, not everyone knows the secret.
Therefore, in the next moment, everyone was shocked by the actions of this big man with a simple smile.
Bang!
The big man raised his arms straight, his hands held high, and then slammed them down on the ground; Suddenly, the muffled sound of what seemed to be tons of explosives in a confined space appeared.
When a pebble jumps, the vibrations begin to appear.
And by the time fist-sized rocks began to throb, the whole situation had already developed into an earthquake.
The knights of punishment who came in array fell to the ground, whether it was a phalanx or a front, and they were instantly defeated; Of course, this is just the beginning.
The crack appeared silently in the vibration, like a large mouth leading to humor, and began to devour the fallen knights of punishment.
In the midst of screams, these punishment knights began to disappear in batches.
PS The first more ~~
I don't know if it's because of the decadent sleep and sleeping on his side, his left arm and palm have been numb today...... All kinds of discomfort, the feeling of having a hand for code words, is really uncomfortable...... (To be continued......)
