Chapter Seventy-Three: The Betrayer
"Who's Uncle Mercone?" Julian wondered about Owen's title.
"I almost forgot, you don't know Uncle Mercone, and for your long-time loyal See, his real name would be Pattenin, the former Captain of the Templar Order. Owen pointed to the tear in Julian's robes, "You obtained this armor from the tomb of the first dragon knight in the underground temple. ”
"That's right. Julian took off his robe, revealing the paladin's armor worn inside. "But so what?" asked Julian.
Owen smiled and said, "But Julian, the holy sword 'Eternal Holy Sword' in your hand was brought back by Uncle Merkone from the Demon Continent through countless hardships, and the paladin armor on his body is a testimony of Uncle Merkne's bloody battle as a paladin. Uncle Merkone, on his deathbed, entrusted me with both his sword and armor. ”
"I know, Owen. The Patnin Knight is one of my most respected predecessors, but even though he entrusts you with the most important things, the sword and armor have chosen me as their master, not you, Owen. ”
"You can be their master, and since the weapon has chosen you, I can also think that is the consciousness of Mercone Damei. But if you join the Society of Truth, that's a different matter. ”
Julian smiled coldly, "So, Owen, what do you want to do, take the holy sword and the armor away from me?"
"Nope. Owen shook his head and said, "I'm not going to take anything away from you, but I'm not going to allow you to continue to have what you shouldn't and don't deserve." ”
"Oh well. Owen, I see if you have what it takes. Julian was ready for another decisive battle.
However, Owen did not attack, nor did he speak again, but stared silently at Julian, those eyes that seemed to be able to speak, as if they were telling him something.
Julian was shocked by this situation, and he couldn't help but take a step back. But soon he stabilized and sneered at Owen, "What? You want to use those strange mental attacks on me again?"
At this time, Owen still did not speak, and still stared at Julian with a smile.
"People don't know about you, but I know your details. Owen, your psychic attack telekinesis can only work once on the same person. When I was in the Rocard Empire, you had already used it on me, and in this life, I will no longer be affected by your spiritual attacks. Julian raised his head confidently.
But soon, Julian's self-confidence was slapped in the face.
Hearing only the strange sound of a sudden "knock knock", Julian felt his left hand being repeatedly manipulated by external forces, and when he looked down, he found that the holy sword "Eternal Victory" was constantly trembling, as if desperately trying to get rid of Julian's grasp.
"The Holy Sword is rebelling against me, how could this be!" Julian was surprised and surprised.
"Did I say I was going to mentally attack you?" Owen finally spoke, "Since you can recognize the master, it means that the weapon has an autonomous consciousness and a soul of its own. ”
"Owen, you...... Your real target is my holy sword?!" Julian was taken aback, he didn't expect Owen to come to this hand.
"Julian, you're wrong. Owen smiled meaningfully, "My goal is not only the Holy Sword. ”
"What?"
Before he could figure out the meaning of Owen's words, Julian realized what it meant to be "a leak in the house that happened to rain overnight". In another burst of "knock knock" sound, Julian suddenly let out, and the magic sword "Tears of Repentance" held in his right hand was also trembling uneasily.
In addition to the Holy Sword, even the Demon Sword began to rebel against Julian's rule.
"Whether it's because of compulsion or some kind of hardship, you have betrayed many people who believe in you more than once. But......" Owen said in a deep voice, "this time, Julian, can you feel the feeling of being betrayed?"
There has been a subtle change in the tide of the war.
The troops who remained in the palace and were unable to move because they had not received any orders finally began to move.
The fifty-nine flying swords released by Empress Catherine actually had a total of sixty. But at the beginning of Catherine's release of the flying sword, one of the flying swords flew into the palace without attracting the attention of others, and at the same time, it was brought into the palace with a fire-painted seal tied to the flying sword and a dagger carried by His Majesty the King.
Therefore, the remaining troops who received the order rushed out of the palace gate from the palace and happened to be in a melee with the werewolf troops.
On the other hand, the reinforcements from outside the city, with the help of the Lion Mercenary Regiment, managed to storm the city and break through the blockade set by the Truth Society's killers, and finally killed their king.
No matter how fierce the werewolf's single combat ability was, it couldn't withstand the internal and external attacks of the two powerful reinforcements, and it was instantly collapsed.
Outside the palace gates, King Duris and his family and the knights who guarded them managed to retreat into the palace under the protection of reinforcements.
However, they didn't notice that strange people were mixed in with their own people.
At the moment when reinforcements from both sides arrived, one of the gray-furred she-wolves quickly broke away from the battle after only touching it. As the leader of the werewolves, Jane knows that she is outnumbered in this situation and it is impossible for her to win in the assault, so she finds a hidden place to remove the werewolf state and return to her original human form. She hid and watched coldly as her four companions fought desperately in the midst of the siege of the Poeller Kingdom Army, and suddenly rushed out when they were unprepared, dragging an unlucky Kingdom Army soldier away.
Jaina easily snapped the soldier's neck, then put on his clothes and armor and blended in to protect the dozen or so soldiers who had retreated into the palace. Although her petite body was out of step with the wide attire, no one paid attention to the details in the midst of the chaos. As for the companions outside the palace gates, their lives and deaths were long gone, and as long as they could find an opportunity to bring Duris to death, Janna didn't care about the price.
Although Jana does not have any personal enmity with Doris, she must complete the task given to her by the Truth Society and obtain Doris's head in exchange for what she wants.
"Yes, this little girl has a bit of a brain. ”
At the highest point of the palace, at the spire of the main tower, the dangerous place where Princess Dieucalyptus had climbed a few days earlier after waking up from a nightmare, Christina was dressed like a king, overlooking the battlefield below, and judged Jana's actions.
Suddenly, at this time, the air currents behind Christina created an unusual flow. Another person quickly approached her.
"That Julian didn't get rid of you? Sure enough, he's just an exaggeration. Even without looking back, Christina knew who it was.
"At this point, your drama is finished," said Sophia, awe-inspiring, "shameless betrayer, Judas!"
