Chapter 575: Anger
Early morning.
The dazzling sunlight shone through the clouds and hit the body of the city of Westin, the border pearl of the Svak Kingdom, and it was all devastated!
A large number of houses collapsed, and an incalculable number of civilians and soldiers died.
The people who were lucky enough to be alive were weeping in low voices, and their voices were connected and undulating, like a mournful music.
Prince Charles, with red-eyed eyes, stood in the middle of the city, looking at the city that had been destroyed by nearly a third of the giants, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip.
Several retinues and clerks also stood on his side with calm faces, and the atmosphere was very dull and depressing.
No one dared to speak at this time, because the person who dared to do so had already been directly cut down by Prince Charles in anger just now, no matter how favored he usually was.
Westin, the pearl of the border of the Svak Kingdom, is finished, and anyone with eyes can make this judgment in their hearts.
Although only a third of the city was destroyed, Prince Charles had the financial resources to support him to repair it, but it was useless.
The fame of the city of Westein is over.
No one wants to stay in a dangerous place unless they have to.
And now - Weststein City, the city that attracted giants, is already an extremely dangerous place.
Merchants will not come, and civilians in the vicinity will come as little as possible.
Weststein City will not be as prosperous as it once was.
And Prince Charles will also lose more than half of the tax revenue of the realm.
Heavy losses.
It's no wonder how Prince Charles was furious.
But he was even more angry, why did the giants come to his territory? Didn't the ugly woman with the bamboo pole say that she led the giant to the Hanlai collar?
Sure enough, the words of these untouchables can never be trusted! Prince Charles roared in his heart, and he could only roar in his heart, otherwise, once the deeds of colluding with giants were discovered, then what awaited him would not only be the punishment of the Svak Kingdom, but also the Inquisition of the Bishop of Light.
An entourage quietly returned, and he whispered to Prince Charles's side and whispered in his ear.
Prince Charles's brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't help but yell at his entourage, "What do you mean by turning into meat puree?" Turned into mashed meat, can you still find out who it is? ”
The entourage was startled, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly defended, "The clothes of the meat paste, I saw it from above......"
"Alright, don't say it!" Prince Charles, whose face was ugly, stopped the close attendant from speaking further, drew the knight's sword from his body and quickly stabbed it at the attendant.
Right in the heart!
The retinue fell, spitting blood from their mouths, staring at Prince Charles with a dead eye, as if asking "Why?" ”
Prince Charles, who was already a duke, did not look at him, but silently wiped the blood from his sword and inserted it into its scabbard.
The eyes of the entourage and officials behind him flashed with the sadness of the dead fox, and then they didn't dare to gasp, for fear of attracting the anger of the Duke in his rage.
The whole scene was very quiet, reflecting the uncertain eyes of the current Duke.
It seemed to the officials that time suddenly passed slowly.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a chaotic sound of footsteps came from behind.
Anger crept up the Duke's cheeks again, distorting his expression, and the faces of the attendants and officials were full of anger, and when they looked back, their expressions immediately froze.
It was the Bishop of Light, the Priest Benjamin of Weststein City, who walked past the sad-looking civilians with a group of sacrificial apprentices with a calm expression and came to Duke Charles.
"Good day, Lord Duke!" The officiant Benjamin was a middle-aged man with a gentle face, wearing an off-white presiding priest's robe, and greeted Duke Charles.
"Good day, Priest Benjamin. As you can see, I'm not so good! Duke Charles said with a faint expression.
Although his irritable heart made him want to kill this hypocritical priest with a knife, the only remaining reason told him that if he challenged the authority of the Holy Light Bishop, he would be buried in the dust of history with the city without the help of giants.
The clergy of the Episcopal of Light are divided into sacrificial apprentices, priests, priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals, and popes.
Sacrifice apprentices did not talk about it, but initially sensed that the priests of the divine grace had the ability to herd lambs for the Holy Light, and they were generally sent to various towns and cities to preside over the affairs of the teachings in one place.
Further up there are the priests, who are usually sent to some important cities to preside over religious affairs.
The presiding priest is the bishop, who is responsible for the affairs of the principality or a certain region of the kingdom.
The archbishop usually sits in the capital of the kingdom.
The diocese of the cardinal consists of several kingdoms or an empire, and in the Patriarchate of the Light, it can be said that there is one man and ten thousand.
As for the Pope, he is regarded as the spokesman of the Lord of Light in the world, and after death, he will enter the kingdom of the Lord of Light and become an angelic being.
Because the relationship between divine power and royal power is greater than that of the king, the status of the clergy is noble, even if it is an officiating priest, it is not something that Duke Charles can easily offend.
This is also the reason why the enraged Duke Charles was able to reply to Bishop Benjamin sensibly.
But in the end, he was unwilling, this Benjamin priest often interfered more in his usual territory management, which always made him feel constrained, and his dissatisfaction with him was already several floors high, Duke Charles paused for a moment, and then said expressionlessly, "Benjamin must have been too tired from preaching yesterday, and the dark creatures invaded, and he couldn't wake up the tired you?" ”
Hearing Duke Charles's sneering words, Rao is Benjamin is the presiding priest has a city in his chest, and his face is also red when he hears the words, yesterday he preached to a noble female body to spread the gospel of the Holy Light for too long, resulting in a little lack of energy, and he slept relatively heavily at night.
The sound of the giant's attack did not wake him up, causing the giant to wreak havoc in the city.
Fighting against the people of darkness is the unshirkable responsibility of every clergyman in the Holy See of the Holy Light, and if the events of last night spread out, he will not have a good time within the Holy See of the Holy Light.
Little did he know that yesterday there was a wizard with the strength of a cardinal archbishop who used a silent sorcery to prevent the outside world from interfering with him, so that he could better recover the energy he had lost after the mission, so that he missed the opportunity to shine in that battle.
Priest Benjamin coughed lightly, "Lord Duke, I also regret your loss. Who doesn't want that to happen? ”
"I didn't expect that in this wilderness plain, there are actually two dark people hidden! Before I came, I had already reported to the Holy See that the two evil creatures waiting for me would be sanctioned by the Light! Priest Benjamin said loudly.
"Hmm!"
