There was a momentary freeze in the atmosphere in the square.

No one thought that this battle would suddenly take such a turn, and the well-prepared "Pit Viper Cross" was completely calculated by the "Rosencross" because of the traitor... This kind of thing is really a bit dramatic.

Gallup, who had been complacent, was stunned at first, and then the angry roar resounded throughout the square—"Akasha, you traitor!"

Akasha in the crowd did not face Gallup's question at this time, her eyes flashed to the side, and she was not a strong character in the first place, and she took two steps back slightly because of Gallup's roar...... She had a soft personality, and she made such a decision entirely because she couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure of the "Pit Viper Cross", but she never thought that Rubens would directly name her at this time - obviously this left no way for her to retreat.

Jiang is still old and spicy, although she made the right choice in her opinion, but in front of these old politicians, she is still too tender after all, with little experience in struggle... After being exposed in this way, Akasha, who has completely pinched the initiative in the hands of Rubens, will inevitably become the enemy of the "Pit Viper Cross", in other words, she must live safely under the protection of the "Rosace Cross" from now on, and there is no other way to choose.

However, no matter how Akasha felt at this time, the fact that she betrayed the "Pit Viper Cross" and leaked all her plans to the "Rosicru" could not be changed - Gallup pointed at her angrily, but he couldn't say anything else for a while, while Rubens still had that indifferent look, and the feeling that everything was under control made him take a step confidently, and asked in a chess-game "general" tone: "So... I accepted your gift, do you want to accept the gift I gave?"

"Do you really think I only have two teams of soldiers to deal with everything?"

When these words were spoken, Gallup's face changed instantly, and he immediately looked left and right, and there seemed to be a faint rumbling sound of horses' hooves outside the noisy crowd.

"Damn! It's the Templars!"

With a flick of his staff, the Shadow Priest immediately cast the "Shadow Hand" blessing spell on the helpers beside him, forcibly applying shadow magic damage to their weapons, and then waved his hand decisively, pointed at Rubens, and shouted angrily, "Kill him!

There was no way out, and Gallup's decisive choice of "Jade Burning" was not unexpected by Rubens, and as the scepter radiated another light, the city square that had just been quiet once again set off a fiercer and bloodier battle!

The nobles, who had always been bystanders, finally reassured themselves at this point, and although many of them had withdrawn far away under the cover of their retainers, they immediately stopped when they heard the news that "everything was under the control of Bishop Rubens", and in an effort to regain their image, they stood at the back of the ranks of the nobles to show their fearlessness - but among them, there was only one nobleman who stood still in the ranks...

That's Count Francis.

Surrounded by eight guards, he always looked in the direction of Bishop Rubens, the distance between the two sides was only about fifty meters, but at this time it was as if he was in two completely different worlds... Many of the scattered people hid in the halls and shops on both sides, and by this time they had gradually come out, and even slogans such as "Punish these infidels" could be heard.

"I'm sorry, Lord Overseer. ”

Francis looked at the old man in the distance who thought he was in control, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and then he turned his head and asked Willy, who was always by his side, "Are you ready?"

"All four teams of Templars have our men in their path, and they can hold off for at least five minutes. ”

Willy's eyes scanned around, and soon found the mercenaries hiding behind huge flower pots on the side of the plaza in the crowd - the other party was dressed in civilian clothing, his disguise was flawless, and he was even crouching a short distance away with his bare hands.

"So... Next," Francis whispered, holding the sword at his side that had been used for decoration, "it's our turn." ”

Willie nodded his head and raised his hand imperceptibly to make a seemingly random gesture, but in fact it was a signal to the mercenaries not far away - and Francis shouted at the same moment: "Kill these infidels!"

With a wave of his hand, he seemed to be preparing to let his retainers go up to help surround Gallup and the others, and for a while, he completely lost the tight protection he had before.

"Click!"

The next moment, there was a loud noise when the flower bed not far away was shattered, causing the nearest nobles to turn their heads in unison. And then there was a scene that made it difficult for them to figure out what was going on......

A group of men dressed in various costumes rushed to the flower bed and began to rummage around the ceramic shards, and just when others thought there was something "good" in the flower bed, one of them turned his head with something in his hand.

The military crossbow, much larger than the "hand crossbow", was flat in front of him, when the nearest noble retainer realized what it was...... The guy pulled the trigger on Francis, who was not far away!

"Whoosh-"

Francis, who had lost the cover of his retainers, couldn't dodge the attack more than thirty or forty meters away, and the crossbow shot directly into Francis's arm, and he let out an "ah" cry of pain, as if he was out of balance by the power of the crossbow arrow, and lay directly on the ground...

"There is an assassination!"

"Protect the young master!"

"It's an Assassin—"

A few guards who had just walked out immediately noticed the situation here, and Hulala rushed up to protect Francis, and then the guy with a crossbow in the flower bed saw that he missed a hit, and immediately rushed up with seven or eight companions behind him with weapons in hand, and the two waves of people "Ping Pong" fought together...

On the second floor platform forty meters away, Roddy, who had been watching all this from the shadows, narrowed his eyes, and the long arrow that had been aimed at Francis's head slowly moved downward, and then the bowstring that had been stretched into a full moon returned to its original state.

He was ready to assassinate and confident that he could kill him with one blow, but the scene of Francis revealing his flaws and being shot made Roddy immediately realize that something was wrong - ordinary people may not be able to see the abnormality, but he judged a strange fact from the trajectory of the crossbow arrow: the crossbow arrow did not have an arrow!

Who will shoot someone with a crossbow bolt without an arrow?

Because of his wide field of vision, he immediately saw more than twenty people on the other side rushing out of the crowd and rushing directly towards the team of monks and nuns of the monastery.

"Damn, you're still engaged in a 'bitter meat scheme'?

Roddy immediately understood Francis's calculation - he was going to make an "assassination" drama to clear his suspicions, and then blatantly send someone to assassinate Sally here!

At this point, Roddy has a number of options, he can continue to kill Francis, or he can choose to help Sally who is under attack - and another...

Roddy looked at Gallup and the others who were attacking Rubens and Benjamin like crazy, and after analyzing the situation in an instant, he slowly took a step back and disappeared behind this unnoticeable windowsill with a "stealth technique".

......

Rubens liked the feeling of being in control of the situation, and in a way, his "desire for control" had reached an extreme level that it could be called a quirk.

Every detail of the layout, every manpower, he had an extremely meticulous plan, even to the point of outrageous precision - such as the formation of the previous soldiers' defense, the gaps left when raising the shields, all of which were done according to the orders of Bishop Rubens himself.

Watching Gallup attack himself like crazy, his face remained the same, but the satisfaction in his heart was indescribable... Because according to their own arrangement, in five seconds, the Templars rushing out of the street corner will directly chop these infidels in front of them to pieces!

Looking at Akasha who was a little helpless in the distance, Rubens was a little disdainful of her - this woman was not suitable for power struggles at all, she was too weak, too unassertive, and could betray the information that the "Pit Viper Cross" was going to assassinate herself for a few naïve ideas, heh... What does she want? Just want to get out of that damn cult?

How can a person's origin be so easily cleared... Hmph, when it's over, let her be a nun for the rest of her life.

Thinking so in his heart, Benjamin next to him frowned and asked, "Lord Overseer, the Templars should have arrived at this time, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, three consecutive "shadow arrows" exploded on the shield in front of Rubens, and the overseer waved his scepter to bless the soldier with a new shield, and then replied indifferently: "It shouldn't be bad, the knight who led the team has been with me for many years, and he knows what I value most." ”

Severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and a strict sense of time, this is Rubens' personal habit, and all who follow him know it.

But Benjamin looked at the street corner where there was no movement, but saw only those believers cowering behind the wall and looking this way, but the faint sound of horses' hooves disappeared, and he felt that something was not quite right, and was about to say something, when he heard the crazy chanting of the Gallup incantation - "The shadow gives me strength, I give life to the shadow..."

The sight of many corpses piling up on the ground and rivers of blood is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people, but standing behind the soldiers who are fighting wildly, this "Snake Fang" bishop has unleashed a powerful spell that can only be learned by the "Shadow Priest" at level 25: "Shadow Guard".
