The embers around the crater drifted slowly, intertwining with the returning air, distorting the light and casting a rippled shadow over everything within the blast's radius. An ugly face is drawn along the scorched black ground of the gently sloping slope, as if laughing silently, mocking humanity's vulnerability to high-tech weapons.

The Holy Cult Army near the prayer room rushed to the scene of the explosion as if they were stepping on the wind, looking at the charred and sunken ground, their faces like ashes, showing desperate expressions. The king was assassinated, and none of the people in charge of security could escape, and at the very least, they were exiled to the desert.

Actually, it's not that they're slow to react, it's because it's happening so fast.

From Ivan dismantling the Assassin's arms, to the opponent's self-detonation, to being targeted and hit by a missile, it all happened in less than twenty seconds, and after a double explosion, no matter how quickly the Holy Cult Army reacted, it was impossible to get here with the shock wave of the explosion.

"Your Majesty!

Yasin rushed to the edge of the pit in the face of the hot smoke, staring at the center of the explosion in a daze, his body lost support little by little, and knelt weakly on the embers. At this moment, his heart was full of remorse and self-blame, and his brain was subconsciously working violently as if he had received some kind of electric shock.

How come His Majesty was assassinated just a moment after leaving!

Could it all be calculated?

And the personal guard who replaced him was gone, and the timing of his disappearance was so delicate...... There must be traitors within the Holy Cult Army!

"Ahem, ahem!"

Just as the chief of the guard was working violently, a clear coughing sound came from the depths of the pit, and before he could rejoice, he found a charred palm sticking out of the smoke-filled pit.

"Your Majesty! It's great that you're okay!"

Yassin's blood suddenly surged, and his whole body regained his strength, and he held the hand in surprise and joy, and pulled it up hard.

With his help, Ivan, who was covered in smoke and looked like a layer of cinders, crawled out of the hole, rolled over and collapsed on the ground, and let out a wild laugh for the rest of his life:

"Hahaha! I'm not dead! I'm still alive!"

The six armor-piercing bullets were powerful and specialized in armor-piercing, powerful enough to pierce through Menes' strongest fortresses. If he only had the power of the second stage of the Sun Sutra, Ivan would probably be dead by now, but fortunately he still had the protection of the Holy Communion's blessing. Although it was pierced by the armor-piercing bullet and torn into pieces by the way, the body fragments automatically gathered in the next second, and returned to their original state in the blink of an eye.

Don't look at the fact that he is now blackened by the explosion, in fact, his skin has already regenerated, and the degree of damage to his body is zero.

"How's the auction, the auction going?"

After the surprise, Ivan calmed down a little, and immediately grabbed the guard officer's next door and asked about the auction - if the auction messed up, even if he didn't die now, he would be killed by the demon queen sooner or later.

"No, I don't know, it's a mess. Yasin shook his head blankly.

"It's over...... It's all over ......."

Ivan's heart was cold, and his head ached faintly, it seemed that the auction scene had also been affected, and most of the guests were running for their lives at this time.

"Your Majesty, your safety is the most important thing, the second is to catch the assassin's comrades, the auction has been messed up this time, we can continue to do it in the future!" Yasin didn't know about his current situation, and he was still bitterly comforting.

"No, no, no, the charity auction must not be messed up!"

Even's ears vaguely echoed Renee's warning that day, and fear continued to rise in his heart. He had a faint premonition that if he was caught by the pigtails by that evil girl this time, the end would be miserable.

Calm down! Calm down!

Things have gotten a mess, and I must not mess around!

Trying to calm himself down, he took the shirt handed by Yasin, narrowed his eyes and commanded:

"Send someone to tell Her Majesty the news now, and ask her to send a large army to put the whole city under martial law and blockade the entire Mirror Lake area. Then, as quickly as possible, bring your people to maintain order at the auction site, even if you use violence!"

"Yes!"

Ya Xin's emotional intelligence is relatively low, but he is very neat in doing things, and he doesn't say a word, he takes orders and leaves.

"Wait!"

Evan hurriedly called him: "Find me a pair of pants first!"

......

After changing into the shirt and pants of the Holy Cult Army, he rushed to the well as fast as he could, rinsed it briefly, and then followed the sound all the way to the noisiest square in front of the temple.

While running fast, Evan is also thinking of ways to deal with the dilemma in front of him.

The reason why he hid behind the scenes and didn't come forward was to prevent this kind of thing, but he never expected that he would be bombed by missiles at the most, and the scene was so big that it was really difficult to clean up.

Evan has the preparations, but the situation is too chaotic to know if it will work.

"I can't care so much, let's be a dead horse as a live horse doctor!"

Ivan stared at the chaotic center of the square for a few seconds, raised his head, looked at the bronze bell at the highest point of the central hall, and his figure turned around, and instantly turned into a virtual shadow and disappeared.

At this time, the Holy Cult Army was also gathering from all directions, forming a queue like chains, trying to fix the chaotic mud in the square. It's just that the 'mud' is too chaotic, and the waves are heavier than the other, but there is a tendency to break the 'chains'.

"Everyone, please calm down, His Majesty Evan is fine, the situation is under control!"

"Chaos will only cause additional damage, so stay calm!"

"If you want to leave, please slow down!"

The Holy Cult Army was hoarse and tried their best to persuade them, but the number was too small, and the sound could not stir up waves at all in the crowd, so they could only use their bodies to form walls and dilute the speed of everyone's panicked escape.

Although they took Evan's orders and had permission to use violence, the authority of this Hades King was not heavy, and he was even more transparent in the political arena, so that no one really dared to do anything to the nobles.

————————

The sun was blazing, and the canopy of heaven was like solidified ice, frozen on the roof of the temple of Hades.

The air was filled with fear, and the eyes were filled with panic, reflecting the chaotic scene after the terrorist attack from all angles. The square in front of the hall was like a pot of boiling porridge, with bubbles constantly exploding in the pot, and the voice and physical strength of the Holy Sect Army were rapidly declining.

Knock ——!

At this moment, the roar of a bronze bell suddenly came from inside the temple, which shook the back of people's heads numb, their legs trembled, and the space fell silent all of a sudden.

Thousands of pairs of eyes seemed to be commanded at the same time, and they all brushed towards the source of the sound, the inside of the temple.

In that palpitating darkness, a faint figure was slowly walking out.

Knock ——!

Then there was another loud bang, and there were many echoes in the huge temple, and even the dazzling sky seemed to shake with it. With the sound of slow but determined footsteps, it reveals an indescribable majesty.

In this burst of echoes, Ivan stood against the huge bronze bell more than three meters high and appeared in everyone's field of vision.

He was dressed in the uniform of the Holy Cult Army, carrying a bronze bell that was far taller than himself, and he had a great sense of abruptness.

The calm pace and the sacred and solemn roar of the bronze bell, combined with the great difference between the human body and the bronze bell, create a striking conflict between the visual and auditory aspects, and the chaotic center is miraculously calmed down temporarily.

“......”

Ivan looked around, and threw down the bronze bell on his shoulder, the metal bell collided with the ground with a dull sound, and the ice patina poured down with the trembling surface of the bell, thus casting a layer of emerald green barrier over the strange atmosphere.

"I suffered a well-planned assassination. ”

He was the first to break the silence and took a deep breath, and his voice was heard in all directions with the aftermath of the brass bell:

"You feel the danger, you feel the fear, you become panicked, you almost lose your mind. I don't say this to blame anything, everything you showed before the crisis is just human instinct, and no one has the right to blame you! But I must also remind you that our country has just been hit by a war, and the innocent people in those areas that have experienced the poison of war are suffering a hundred times more fear and suffering every day than you!"

After Evan's words fell, the brief calm in the square was shattered, and there were waves of doubts and dissatisfaction in the crowd, and some people even covered their faces with clothes and threw stones at him in the dark.

He did not pay attention to these people, but continued in the most solemn and solemn tone:

"We've learned about war for a long time, but with the exception of the Warcraft War of the Mythical Age, no war has reached the city of Ekhtadon in the past thousands of years!

It has happened in the past, and it will happen again in the future, because our enemies are stronger than ever, and perhaps one day there will be a more tragic reality in this land than today, when you will suffer a hundred times more fear and pain than you do today......"

At this point, he paused deliberately and asked in a higher voice:

"Who else!?can help you!?"

The bustling crowd poured out all sorts of answers, some said gods, some said brave queens and armies, and some answered faith.

Ivan nodded his head undeniably, and then interrupted the argument of the crowd:

"The correct answer is our countrymen! Queen Aeluromee needs an army for her to relocate, and the army comes from the people! The gods must also want us to save ourselves bravely, not to pray on our knees! Cowards will only be abandoned by the gods, and only noble warriors are worthy of favor.

Because of this, I want to see people who care for each other and give selflessly, who treat the grief of strangers as their own. I want to see you sincerely pray for the blessed areas of the disaster, whether you are nobles, merchants, commoners, or priests!"

I firmly believe that if we can help them in their pain and suffering, they will also help us in the future when we are in pain, because we are all the noble elect of the sun god and have the same blood in our bodies!"

The commotion in the square gradually calmed down, and people looked at Ivan with solemn expressions, quietly listening to his speech, and more and more people voiced their voices of agreement and agreement.

"I know that many people are terrified tonight, and I ask you to be calm and resolute, even if the threat remains. The culprits of the assassination have not yet been caught, but their end is doomed. Kindness and fear, kindness and cruelty, have been pitted against each other since time immemorial, and we know that the gods have a choice between the two.

My esteemed compatriots, we must face this assassination with patience and the utmost dignity!

Today we wake up with threats, we arm ourselves with noble character, we turn grief into anger, anger into determination! We vow to bring our enemies to justice, and justice will be served. ”

Evan shook his fists excitedly and let out a loud cry.

"You are so right, we must not abandon the character that the sun god has given us at any time!"

"Assassination is a despicable and shameless evil, and we will not succumb to evil!"

"We are not afraid of anything!"

The people looked at him movingly, raised their heads in unison, and roared in the loudest voice.

"The Assassins tried to assassinate me by dirty and vile means, even bombing the temple for it, but here I am, unscathed—for evil can never kill justice! Charity does not succumb to fear, and acts of righteousness are not interrupted by evil deeds!"

Ivan looked at the crowd that had been thoroughly stirred up, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and while remaining calm, he adjusted his expression, and finally shouted in the posture of a martyr:

"Noble elect, I hereby declare that the charity auction continue!!s!

"The gods bless Menes !!"

After a minute-long silence, a huge cheer emanated from the inside out, through the bushes, and set off a frenzy on the outskirts of the royal city.

......

In this way, the auction house continued as usual, and the sentiment of the people to donate became even higher. In the next few hours, the auction house repeatedly reached new highs, and Evan couldn't keep his mouth shut.
