"At about twelve o'clock in the morning, the lord and the lady were dining, and I was serving beside me......"

Green then recounted their experiences to Austin and the others, and the story sounded perfect, at least at the time.

In Green's account, the girl is the daughter of a mid-ranking official in the kingdom, and she is a domestic servant who has followed her master for thirty years.

In the morning, the lord seemed to have received some news, and he was frowning until the time of the meal, and in the thirty years that Green had followed him, no matter how big the problems were, the lord did not seem to have such a look. Even though the old man has been forced to make a happy face, the familiar family still saw the strange look of his expression, and after many inquiries, the old man was just about to say something, and disaster suddenly came.

The man in the black military uniform sped over the fence and into the courtyard as if a crow had seen carrion. The courtyard was startled and was about to reprimand something, when the sudden killing drowned all words in blood, and the only sound left in the cottage with the garden was exclamations and desperate screams before death!

The flickering sword light brought bursts of blood, the black-clothed soldiers swept the entire villa like the wind, the silence was filled with suppressed madness, there was no questioning, no trial, no official process, the splatters of blood mist-stained the white walls red, in the eyes of the black-clothed soldiers, it was the work of an abstract painter, the blood soaked the floor, and the leather boots brought up bursts of viscous scarlet liquid, and the whole building gradually became disgusting.

For ten minutes, the only thing that could stand in the entire building was the group of soldiers dressed in black.

In Green's description, he followed the master's instructions at the first time, desperately escorted the young lady to escape, and wanted to get out of the city through some special channels. With that, he lifted his clothes, and the three Austins saw a huge wound on his left shoulder, and simply bandaged it with a cloth, which seemed to swing unconsciously the moment he lifted his clothes.

Austin's eyes froze, and in his experience, such a wound almost tore off his arm, and the effect of the cloth was not so much to bandage as to barely hold his left arm in place.

Whatever the truth of the experience may be, at least one thing is true: after that skirmish in the morning, an even bigger killing ensued.

On the same day, police stations received an order from the Metropolitan Police Department to collect all patrol manpower by 4 p.m. The Holy Crosses directly under the Pope's Hall were dressed in snow-white shining armor, bright red cloaks embroidered with golden crosses, and held knights' swords in their hands, and quickly occupied the streets of the entire upper city of the Apocalypse City with a solemn aura.

In a short time, the streets were already empty, and the officials at all levels and wealthy merchants with locked doors quietly opened the curtains to watch, but suddenly saw the men in black military uniforms in the Inquisition House sweeping through the entire Shangcheng District, quickly breaking into the houses according to the order, and quickly leaving after a while, leaving only the lines of blood crisscrossing the streets of Apocalypse City.

The eyes outside were bright, but the people inside the room were like falling into an ice cellar, wisps of cold sweat ran down their clothes, especially those officials and businessmen who had close contact with the royal family, seeing the inquisition's shot, their faces were already like ashes, and they prayed at home that the killing would not befall their heads, and at the same time hoped that those black crows would come to the door soon to end the torment of waiting.

At the same time, spies belonging to the Inquisition scattered like rats into the lower city, and the secret strongholds and hidden assets belonging to the royal family were quickly exposed to the scrutiny of the Holy See, and the secret channels that could send people out of the city were monitored, and only a few were spared.

It has to be said that the Austin trio and the pair were lucky to find a very hidden dark spot, and if they went elsewhere, they would probably go through the quarantine of the Inquisition like other unlucky killers. Those who accept this kind of scrutiny can only have two outcomes - either they will be guillotined, or they will gradually rot and be forgotten in black prisons.

In just a few hours, terror had eroded every corner of Apocalypse City, killing where it could be seen, and only dried blood and sanctimonious knights and priests patrolling the Shura field as far as they could see.

Apocalypse City, the royal capital built on blood and fire, has once again fallen into a thick bloody rain.

However, in the course of this large-scale political battle, the royal family, as the main body of the other side, did nothing, the doors of the palace were closed, and the royal guards did not make the slightest movement except for the most elite iron-blooded troops stationed in the palace.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Upper City was slowly returning to normal, and while there was a lot of speculation about the inaction of the royal family, His Majesty the King and the Cardinal in charge of foreign affairs of the Holy See appeared at the same time at an urgent meeting, although the theme of the meeting was "Response to the recent military movements of the northern barbarians and the infiltration of spies".

The two sides tacitly did not mention the slightest thing about the day's turmoil, and solemnly expressed their opinions on the subject of the meeting, and then the king took a thick stack of appointment papers from the cardinal's hand, read them out one by one, and placed hundreds of posts on the new men whom the Holy See had prepared long ago, even if they had been working diligently or making a lot of money the day before.

It all seemed to be over, but it seemed like something lurked beneath the ice, ready to rush out and swallow it all.
