Chapter XXVII
"Where are the other guards?" Franklin asked Samuel, who was still in wonder of what had just happened: because when they walked out of the church hall, it was empty.
"I asked them to wait for us on the outer wall of the detention center, and your family was waiting for you there, and Berenwell fled, but I'm not sure if he still had assassins hiding in the vicinity, so I asked the rest of the brothers to protect the children and return to Spartan first, where they would be waiting for us." Samuel said.
"Are they doing their job?" Luna asked.
"Of course yes, Luna, they know how to do conservation." Samuel replied to Luna, his expression becoming serious, "My lord, we need to speed up, we don't have any time, you know." ”
Frankley lowered his head and sighed, then said, "...... I should have believed Hudson. ”
"Hudson?" Luna asked urgently, "What did my father say to you?" ”
"Son, I know you're curious to know why your father was killed...... he hesitated for a moment before he mustered up Yu Yong to crouch down and hold my shoulder, "It's not time to ...... now"
"When is that time?" Luna trembled with anger, "Every one of you told me that, is it because I'm a child?" ”
"Luna, Luna, you need to calm down." Franklin patted Luna on the shoulder and said, but at this time Luna was very angry, she opened his hand, and the momentum frightened everyone around her, "How do you tell me to calm down!" If you had just learned that your father had been killed by the three priests who pretended to be good people and saints, but did evil, would you calm down......
In Luna's accusation, Franklin just listened quietly, he didn't interrupt her, and he didn't speak until she finished speaking, "I only know your mood, I have felt your mood, and there is not much time here, so I will talk to you briefly......" He pursed his lips and said, "Your father said that death is just as you think, and it has a lot to do with Adolf......
"I know that."
"I'm not done yet." Franklin sighed, "Let's be honest, your father knew that Adolf would come to assassinate them, but he didn't expect them to kidnap your mother......"
"Why?"
"Because that's not what Adolf is for."
"Where's that?"
Franklin's eyes looked at me with a strange, deep eye like a black hole, and his face turned serious, "Their purpose is you." ”
"Me?" Luna was even more confused, "Why?" ”
"Kid, that's all I can tell you, you can find out for yourself the rest." With that, he stood up and walked towards Samuel.
"My lord, then again." Samuel asked, "Did they hurt you today?" ”
"If it weren't for this armor and the protection of the masked boy over there, maybe I would have died here." With that, he patted Luna on the back appreciatively, "Thank you for saving twice." With that, he turned and walked forward. Cavlyn walked over and tapped me on the shoulder, and we followed.
Near the church, Luna meets some priests unexpectedly, which is a bit of a surprise. It seems that they felt that they had made a big fuss about the church and returned to the church after the incident.
It was us, and the priests were furious, and they were clamoring to surround Luna. "You blasphemous bastards!" "What are you doing here? You have defiled the Holy Land! "Inferior infidels! God will punish you for your ignorance! ”
To make matters worse, as they tried to pass through the angry group of "righteous men", one of the priests actually rammed Samuel with his weak body, but Samuel reacted quickly and dodged his impact, and the man fell to the ground.
"Hurry up!" Samuel hurriedly said, "We need to speed up!" ”
"They are believers in demons!" The clergy cursed one after another.
"Get rid of them!" One of the priests helped the way.
I managed to squeeze a way out of this group of thugs and came to the square next to the church. Unfortunately, this place turned into a sea of white robes. It seems that the entire Holy See has gathered here. These people could be Berenville's people, or they could just be angry priests, which made Luna a little afraid.
"May the Creator cast for us armor, shields and blades with godliness, thus punish the iniquity......
"What are they doing?" Luna asked, puzzled.
"May they know for themselves that they are seeking guidance." Samuel snorted, "Come on, we need to get out of here before Berenwell's guards arrive." With that, they looked back at the church behind them, and saw the sunlight shining in the light of the reflection of the pieces of armor.
"It's too late, they're already here...... Get ready for battle! With that, Samuel pulled out the blade at his waist, and the others drew their weapons as well.
I saw that the four guards quickly rushed away from the sea of white-clothed holy robes in front of them, and pounced on Luna and them. The priests shouted aside, clearing a fighting arena for the armed men, and their cheers grew wilder as they looked at the guards' glittering heavy armor, as if they were eager to enjoy a torture show.
"Hmph, it's ridiculous, how dare you claim to be a believer in the blessing of the cross......" Samuel scoffed. Then, the guards drew their swords and slowly approached them.
"Looks like you can't get out of here without seeing a little blood!" Samuel said, Luna on the side pulled out the ruins on her waist to get the precious saber, a cold blade appeared in front of her, this blade is a little different from other swords, the surface is very rough, a bit like matte material, but it is amazing that this seemingly matte material blade can also reflect sunlight, which makes Luna feel incredible. But there's no time to lament that now.
"Lay down your arms! Surrender now! You are surrounded! The captain of the guard shouted forward, but before he could say a second word, Samuel pounced.
His elbow slammed into force, and the crimson blade whistled and tore through the air around him, and then slashed through a delicate arc towards the captain of the guard! The captain never expected two things: first, the other party would attack head-on at such a disadvantage, and second, he did not expect the knife in Samuel's hand to be so powerful.
The captain of the guard raised his sword in vain to block, but to no avail, the crimson blade easily sliced through the opponent's blade, and cut off the head of the captain of the guard in one fell swoop, and blood suddenly gushed out from the severed cut in a frenzy. The other three guards were stunned by this scene, but Samuel obviously didn't want to give them a chance to come to their senses, only to see that the blade in his hand was another deadly arc, so the second soldier immediately went for the headless corpse, Samuel slashed so fast that he didn't have time to react.
At the same time, Luna jerked two steps sideways before charging towards the remaining two soldiers. The two wretched creatures were still in their spirits, so my blade easily pierced the breastplate of one of the soldiers, sending the fellow out of the world with a bewildered expression.
The last guy finally came to his senses, and he wanted to turn around and run away with fear on his face, but it was too late, Huang Xiu slashed him in the thigh, and then Samuel's knife pierced his torso from the right side. The guard fell to the ground with a bang, and Huang Xiu kicked him to the side.
Luna looked around, the ground was already red with blood. The battle frightened the priests on the sidelines, and Samuel waved his weapon lightly, and they were so frightened that the road to the front was cleared.
"Let's go, there will be more and more people here later." Samuel said to Luna, and he walked forward with his sword in hand.
But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and it seemed that a pair of horsemen were crossing the square, charging at full speed towards us. Unfortunately, they still faced Luna's rush, which means that if they want to escape, they must first deal with these cavalry!
The sound of horses' hooves drew nearer and nearer, echoing like thunder in all directions, until they saw us and hurriedly raised their cavalry spears in their hands to stab at us with all their might.
Soon, one of the horsemen picked up his spear and stabbed Samuel fiercely. Samuel flickered with dexterity, and Luna wasted no time in making up for it, pulling the cavalryman off his horse.
"Little girl, you're pretty good." Samuel praised.
Luna ignored her, and instead quickly leaned down and struck the back of her sword at the joint of the horse's legs, causing the horse to tripped over the ground and fell to the ground as its mace-wielding owner pounced, and the knight's jaw slammed into his favorite weapon.
"Well done!" Bertha exclaimed.
Samuel quickly jumped to the side and deftly avoided the other two cavalrymen. Then two arrows flew and struck the arms of the two horsemen, who fell off their horses with the onslaught of their horses. They were unlucky, and when they fell, they were caught in the reins, and before they could break free, the frightened horses galloped and dragged the two unfortunate eggs alive into the distance. In this way, several people chose to stand firmly in their positions, and then took the first step before the enemy rushed in, and because of this, we finally reached the outer wall of the detention center.
Then the three of them had to help each other climb over the wall, which was more than a foot high, and Samuel and Franklin leaped into the air, grabbed the uneven wall like geckos, and reached the top of the wall in two or three steps, and then I, Alice, Bertha, Huang Xiu, and Cavlin also climbed the wall, and then they followed a steel cable that connected to the opposite roof, and the cavalry could not climb over the wall. So, in vain, they could only shoot crossbow arrows into the air.
After a rapid escape, several came to a suitable landing point and came to the surface, and a large armored combat vehicle appeared in front of them.
Luna looked back and saw a group of soldiers armed to the teeth chasing them down the street.
"There's no time to think about it that much! Get on board! Under Samuel's guidance, Luna and the others boarded from the flank of the chariot. As everyone entered, Samuel struck the red button on the door with his hand, and the steel gate closed, and the chariot set off.
And just like that, we managed to escape.
