Although it was pitch black all around, Isabella's eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and she could see the silhouette of the man standing in front of her.
"Oh? β
"Aren't you the ones who fought the bloody battle under Jerusalem?"
"It's worthy of Pastor Isabella, we people have long been forgotten by the adults, and we can still be remembered by you, I almost thought that the God of Light really didn't give up on us. β
"God never gives up on anyone, only Himself. Ladies and gentlemen of the First Royal Order of Doland. β
"It's as firm as ever, and since you know who we are, you should know that it's unlikely that you'll be released. The man said calmly, "I am Ravenna of the former First Battalion of the Knights. β
"Mr. Red Flame Sword Ravenna, I just want to know what you want to do when you occupy this place. β
"Before you answer, can you tell us what you're doing here?"
"Find the source of my strength. β
"I thought your strength came from piety and courage. β
"That's just a high-sounding statement, self-deception. β
Ravenna was slightly surprised: "Are you denying your glorious past?"
"What should come will come. On this island, there is a ruined monastery, and when I was four years old, I got an alchemy prop in it, and since then, my life has changed. β
Ravenna digested the message and was in awe: "Your courage is as good as ever, not everyone can face their past. However, that monastery is just a faΓ§ade, used by the three sages of alchemy to cover people's eyes and ears, and it is full of traps and magic circles, so you can be safe and sound, and you can also get props that affect your life, which is really lucky. β
"Disguise? Such a secret arrangement is just a disguise?"
"This small island can rise and fall, and there is a huge power system underneath, which is the secret research institute of the Three Sages when they were young. β
Isabella's eyes widened in disbelief: "Hollowed out the entire island?"
"Yes, they were only about twenty years old at the time, and Nicholas designed the blueprints for the entire island, making metal golems to dig caves, Rodriguez built slimes to perfect the works, and West laid out the defenses and powertrains. Now it seems that only young people can have such whimsical ideas. β
Isabella secretly thought: It turns out that the cruel angel was created by the three sages of alchemy, and I accidentally obtained it. So, how do these former Royal Knights know about them? What do they want to do?
As if seeing her thoughts, Ravenna said, "Later, the three sages parted ways, and this place was abandoned. However, their assistants did not forget about it back then, so they hired us to bring the place back to light. He wants to reclaim the glory of the mage, and we," a cold light crossed Raven's eyes, "to remind those adults of our poor betrayed and forgotten people. β
Isabella thought it was bad: "What do you want to do?"
"I just want my dignity back. β
"Dignity?"
"We broke through the siege from under the city of Jerusalem, broke through the siege of the Arabis and crossed the desert, and there were less than eighty of the five hundred men, and at last we returned. However, the Muslim War ended long ago. Nobody cares about us, no one remembers us. We've become tombstones, we've become a line of characters on the sacrifice list, we've become disposable money bags for those fat-brained bastards!"
"City Hall?"
Ravenna smiled coldly: "So what? The war is over, you are useless, who knows if you will break out of the siege or desert!"
Isabella gaffed and said, "Impossible! All the surviving soldiers have been well cared for and cared for!"
"Fart!" the bruises on Raven's head burst out, "Seventy-eight people came back from the breakout, and fifty-five are still alive! They did not die under the sword of the Arabis or under the scorching sun of the desert, but they died in their own leaky houses, in the slums where sewage flowed, in the garbage dumps full of flies and maggots! poor, hungry, sick! they died!"
As she spoke, Ravenna's eyes turned red: "We are soldiers, we are the elite of the kingdom, and we are powerful killing machines!
Isabella's heart was beating wildly, these elite warriors who did not flinch in the face of the Arabis would definitely not be an easy thing to do once they gathered together to do something! Not to mention, now, they were all full of anger!
"You ...... What are you going to do?"
"If we hadn't taken Jerusalem by surprise and disrupted the Arabis march, this place would have been in ruins two years ago. What we're going to do now is to give the city a taste of its original fate -- you must have seen the fortress cannons in Jerusalem, right?"
"Defensive artillery with a long range?"
"Gunpowder pushes the projectile, after all, it is not as efficient as magic energy. Nicholas used to do this research back then, and under this, there was a test subject, but it couldn't be continued because of the lack of funds," Lavenna laughed, "Now, after debugging, it can still be used." β
Isabella was shocked: "You're going to shell the port? Do you know how many casualties this will cause?"
Ravenna's sneer became more and more cruel: "No, we set the shells to explode over the harbor. In the cannonball, there is a demon seed - the little guy whose real name should be the Living Slime. β
"Are you crazy? You're going to turn the whole port into a living corpse? The people are innocent!"
"We are innocent too!" roared Ravenna, "why should we bleed and die like dogs, when they can live happily!"
Isabella muttered, "Once you do that, you can't turn back." β
Ravenna gritted her teeth and said, "There's no turning back." Just now, a small group of holy warriors came over to make trouble, except for one who escaped, all the others were slaughtered!
"You're going to die, too!"
Ravenna actually smiled: "Dear Miss Pastor, you actually talked to the soldiers about being afraid of death? We have nothing but this cheap life, if we don't even want our lives, what do you say, what else will we be afraid of?"
"What's the point of the result of the fish dying and the net being broken!"
Ravenna said calmly and meaningfully: "The fish will definitely die, but at least, let the fish behind know that the net will break." β
"I can help you! My teacher is Urbino, Urbino the Lightwalker!"
"You can't even help yourself. You'd better stay here honestly, or I wouldn't mind using your blood for the final pre-war mobilization. β
Isabella's face turned pale.
Ravenna turned and left, and after a few steps, a herald hurriedly came: "Report!"
"Speak!"
"Commander Yarlin has an order to exchange Pastor Isabella for hostages!"
"Hostage?" Raven's pupils narrowed instantly, "What's going on?
"It's still the rat that slipped through the net, the eldest lady fell into a trap when she was chasing and was caught!"
"Miss, damn it!"
