Zoro was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Khorog, the executioner of the Inquisition in Cold River City?"

"That's right. As far as I know, although you have a high prestige in the military, this is limited to the military headquarters, and you have not yet been able to fully control the Inquisition, right?"

"Heh," Zoro smiled wryly, "can't be fully controlled...... This kind of question is too tactful. To be precise, I have infiltrated less than one-third of the Beidi Inquisition, and after all these years of operation, the Beiwangcheng Inquisition, although it cannot be used by me, will never be my enemy. As for the rest of the ...... The director of the Inquisition is also a prominent figure in the cardinal, one of the few I admire. He has built the entire system of Inquisitions of the Bolton dynasty like an iron bucket, and some time ago your immediate boss von Lantrin has once again consolidated his power in order to be promoted. ”

"The Inquisition has many branches and factions, and your statement seems to be at odds with what I know?" Austin was a little puzzled by Zoro's words.

Zoro looked nervously at the void connecting the upper floor, and at this time, many soldiers in the black combat uniforms of the Inquisition were descending from above with slings, quickly looking for favorable terrain under the cover of Horog's range attack. Although they faced a violent rain of bullets the moment they appeared, they had been in order for a long time.

Judging from the movements, some people still have old injuries on their bodies, and they are probably the descendants of Horog who have just experienced the battle of Hanjiang City.

Sauron had given all the orders he could, but the scales of victory began to swing violently, and everything seemed ridiculous, like a turtle in an urn struggling to break the cage that confined it to this square inch.

Now that it had come to this point, Sauron had calmed down. The ups and downs of tonight had exhausted his already rotten nerves, and he didn't want to think much about wartime command at the moment, and answered Austin's questions in an orderly manner.

"Yes, the general framework of the military headquarters is a few super legions that have been handed down since the time of Amos the Great, but after more than two thousand years of development, most of the defensive armies and private armed forces of each city are also recorded in the list of the military headquarters, so as to receive military pay within a certain quota. ”

"Therefore, a large part of the number of troops seen by the military department is beyond the control of the Holy See?"

"That's right, for example, in my huge secret base, these professional soldiers who don't even have a logo can still receive a large amount of military salary from Apocalypse City every year. If one of the unafraid inspectors dares to set foot in the Northlands, they can immediately put on their armbands and epaulettes and fill in the void I have deliberately left in the city's defenses. ”

"I kind of get it. On the other hand, in the Inquisition, although they usually go their separate ways

However, the grading system and inspection mechanism are very strict, and each member will be screened layer by layer, even if it is the lowest level of cannon fodder or specially recruited people like me, there will be detailed records. The infighting is serious in time, and that is also our internal matter, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere. ”

"That's right, for example, in order to seek the position of deputy director of the Inquisition, Von Lantrin has won the hearts of the people everywhere, and I have also met his envoys several times in the Northland. But no matter which faction they belong to, these people are still the elite of the Inquisition, and they will not be scattered like in the military department. I have to say that 'that man' was so clever that he was able to maintain such a large and deformed institution, and it seemed to be well organized on the surface. ”

"I was really blinded by being in a fog. Austin pretended not to understand the obvious sarcasm in Zoro's words, and some of the words could be listened to casually, but they must not be answered.

Just as he was thinking about how to turn the topic back to the situation in front of him, Horog's voice suddenly sounded: "Austin, we have also fought together in blood, you have proven your ability, I appreciate you." At the same time, I believe in the vision of Lord von Lantlin, and since he will use you, it means that your loyalty should not be questioned. ”

The voice was ethereal in the air, near and far, left and right, but it was blessed with a special nature, and every word seemed to be smashed into Austin's heart, affecting his thinking.

It was like a wandering lonely ghost, whispering in his ear and letting out a shrill laugh suppressed in his throat

"How should I—should—receive your gift, or rather, what do I want me to do?"

"Do you want me to teach you?, join forces with Davix, take Sauron, and bring him to me! Then you will fall at the feet of the Father and wash your souls! You have just been tempted by the evil of the fallen angels, and if you can turn to the light in time, you will be forgiven!"

After hearing Austin's answer, Khorog's voice suddenly became bright, like a bell and a drum, like thunder!

Austin trembled all over, as if he had been hit hard, and his steps staggered back again and again, but a crazy smile gradually appeared on his increasingly pale face: "You and I have both worked together in the Inquisition, and I have been with the Apocalypse King City Von Lantrin for five years, and I know the rules there better than you! Why do you coax me with these words? Unless I walk in front of the Holy See with Sauron in front of the Holy See, or let you all die here, where can I turn back?"

"You still have a choice......

"Why don't you help me choose? The first way, you let us go, I ask the Lord of Sauron to receive a few of them as honored guests, and when the messenger of the Holy See arrives, we will clarify it ourselves, if you want to confront it, it is okay; Austin laughed playfully, "Horog, you choose!"

Sauron understood the meaning of Austin's words, and shouted into the void in front of him: "Mr. Khorog, I am a man who cherishes talents, so naturally I am reluctant for you to commit suicide." I suggest you all stay, you and I have a good time, and wait for the news of Apocalypse City......? Ah no, that bone-eater stray piece is black and white, and now I'm trapped in the lower layer, and I can release it to confront me. ”

Although Sauron and Austin are serious and clear-eyed, it is precisely because of this that the mockery is even stronger.

Khorog fell silent, such a conversation was meaningless. However, following the rain of ice, a large cloud of thunderstorms appeared out of thin air between the two sides of the confrontation, and for a moment the silver snake danced wildly and the golden tree shone brightly

The darkness that was cut off from sight was illuminated by the light after the loud bang from time to time, but it was not reassuring, as if an evil demon would break through the seal and return to the world.

"Thunder Hellforest", one of the most basic abilities of the Seventh Order of the Elemental System. That's right, after the battle of Cold River City, Horog successfully advanced to the seventh order!

And at this moment, the black cloud that destroyed the city slowly pressed towards Zoro and the others and his men

Khorrog, in the most direct way, began to vent his anger!
