There was a momentary freeze in the atmosphere in the square.

No one thought that this battle would suddenly take such a turn, and the well-prepared "Pit Viper Cross" was completely calculated by the "Rosencross" because of the traitor... This kind of thing is really a bit dramatic.

The already smug Gallup was stunned at first, and then the angry roar resounded throughout the square - "Akasha, you traitor"

Akasha in the crowd did not face Gallup's question at this time, her eyes flashed to the side, and she was not a strong character in the first place, and she took two steps back slightly because of Gallup's roar...... She has a soft personality, and she made such a decision entirely because she couldn't withstand the huge pressure of the "Pit Viper Cross", but she never thought that Rubens would directly name her at this time - obviously this did not leave her any way out.

Jiang is still old and spicy, although she made the right choice in her opinion, but in front of these old politicians, she is still too tender after all, with little experience in struggle... After being exposed in this way, Akasha, who has completely pinched the initiative in the hands of Rubens, will inevitably become the enemy of the "Pit Viper Cross", in other words, she must live safely under the protection of the "Rosace Cross" from now on, and there is no other way to choose

However, no matter how Akasha felt at this time, the fact that she betrayed the "Pit Viper Cross" and leaked all her plans to the "Rosace Cross" could not be changed - Gallup pointed at her angrily, but he couldn't say anything else for a while, while Rubens was still the same indifferent look, and the feeling of everything under control made him take a step confidently, and asked in a chess-game "general" tone: "So... I accepted your gift, do you want to accept the gift I gave? ”

"Do you really think I only have two teams of soldiers to deal with everything?"

When these words were spoken, Gallup's face changed instantly, and he immediately looked left and right, and there seemed to be a faint rumbling sound of horses' hooves outside the noisy crowd.

"Damn it, it's the Templars"

With a flick of his staff, the Shadow Priest immediately cast the "Shadow Hand" blessing spell on his helpers, forcibly applying shadow magic damage to their weapons, and then waved his hand decisively, pointed at Rubens, and shouted angrily, "Kill him and leave nothing else"

There was no way out, and Gallup's decisive choice of "Jade Burning" did not surprise Rubens, and as the scepter radiated another rays of light, the city square, which had just been quiet, once again set off a fiercer and bloodier battle

The nobles, who had always been bystanders, finally made up their minds at this point, and although many of them had withdrawn from the army under the cover of their retainers, they immediately stopped when they heard the news that "everything is under the control of Bishop Rubens", and in an effort to save their image, they stood at the back of the ranks again, to show that they were fearless - but among them, there was only one nobleman who stood still in the ranks...

That's Count Francis.

Surrounded by eight guards, he always looked in the direction of Bishop Rubens, the distance between the two sides was only about fifty meters, but at this time, it was as if he was in two completely different worlds... Many of the scattered people hid in the halls and shops on both sides, and by this time they had gradually come out, and even slogans such as "Punish these infidels" could be heard.

"I'm sorry, Lord Overseer."

Francis looked at the old man in the distance who thought he was in control, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, then turned his head and asked Willy, who was always by his side, "Are you ready?" ”

"All four teams of Templars have our men in their path, and they can block it for at least five minutes."

Willy's eyes scanned the surroundings, and soon found the mercenaries hiding behind huge flower pots on the side of the square, dressed in civilian clothes, with no flaws in disguise, and even crouched with empty hands and stared at the place.

"Then then," Francis whispered, holding the sword at his side that had been used for decoration, "it's our turn." ”

Willy nodded his head and raised his hand in a seemingly casual gesture, but in fact it was a signal to the mercenaries not far away—and Francis shouted at the same moment, "Kill these heretics"

With a wave of his hand, he seemed to be preparing to let his retainers go up to help surround Gallup and the others, and for a while, he completely lost the tight protection he had before.

"Click"

The next moment, there was a loud noise when the flower bed not far away was shattered, causing the nearest nobles to turn their heads in unison. And then there was a scene that made it difficult for them to figure out what was going on......

A group of men dressed in various costumes rushed to the flower bed and began to rummage around the ceramic shards, and just when others thought there was something "good" in the flower bed, one of them turned his head with something in his hand.

The military crossbow, much larger than the "hand crossbow", was flat in front of him, when the nearest noble retainer realized what it was...... The guy pulled the trigger on Francis, who was not far away

"Whoosh-"

Francis, who had lost the cover of his retainers, couldn't dodge the attack more than thirty or forty meters away, and the crossbow bolt hit Francis's arm directly, and he let out an "ah" cry of pain, as if he was out of balance by the force of the crossbow arrow, and lay directly on the ground...

"There was an assassination"

"Protect the young master"

"It's an assassin—"

A few guards who had just walked out of the city immediately noticed the situation here, and rushed up to protect Francis, and then the guy with a crossbow in the flower bed saw that he missed the blow, and immediately rushed up with seven or eight companions behind him with weapons in hand, and the two waves of people "ping pong" fought together...

On the second-floor platform forty meters away, Roddy, who had been watching all this in the shadows, narrowed his eyes, and the long arrow that had been aimed at Francis's head slowly moved downward, and then the bowstring that had been stretched into a full moon returned to its original state.

He was ready to assassinate and confident that he could kill him with one blow, but the scene of Francis revealing his flaws and being shot made Roddy immediately sense that something was wrong - ordinary people may not be able to see the abnormality, but he judged a strange fact from the trajectory of the crossbow arrow: the crossbow arrow had no arrow

Who will shoot someone with a crossbow bolt without an arrow?

Because of his wide field of vision, he immediately saw more than twenty people on the other side rushing out of the crowd and rushing directly towards the team of monks and nuns of the monastery.

"Damn, you're still doing a 'bitter meat trick,'? Yours is the real thing..."

Roddy immediately understood Francis's calculation - he was going to make a "assassination" drama to clear his suspicions, and then blatantly send someone to assassinate Sally here

At this point, Roddy has a lot of options, he can continue to kill Francis, or he can choose to help Sally out of the attack—and the other option...

Roddy looked at Gallup and the others who were attacking Rubens and Benjamin like crazy, and after analyzing the situation in an instant, he slowly took a step back and disappeared behind this unnoticeable windowsill with a "stealth technique".

Rubens liked the feeling of being in control of the situation, and in a way, his "desire for control" had reached an extreme level that it could be called a quirk.

Every detail of the layout, every man arranged, he had extremely meticulous planning, and it could even be said that it was outrageously accurate - such as the formation of the previous soldiers' defense, the gaps left when raising the shield, all of which were done according to the orders of Bishop Rubens himself.

Watching Gallup attack himself like crazy, his face remained the same, but the satisfaction in his heart was indescribable... Because according to their own arrangement, in five seconds, the Templars who rushed out of the street corner would directly chop the infidels in front of them to pieces

Looking at Akasha who was a little helpless in the distance, Rubens was a little disdainful of her - this woman was not suitable for power struggle at all, she was too weak, too unassertive, and she could betray the information that the "Pit Viper Cross" wanted to assassinate herself just for a few naïve ideas, heh... What does she want? Just want to get out of that damn cult?

How can a person's origin be so easily cleared... Hmph, when it's over, let her be a nun for the rest of her life.

Thinking so in his heart, Benjamin next to him frowned and asked after casting a "Holy Light Restoration", "Lord Overseer, the Templars should have arrived at this time, right?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, three consecutive "shadow arrows" exploded on the shield in front of Rubens, and the overseer waved his scepter to bless the soldier with a new shield, and then replied indifferently: "It shouldn't be bad, the knight who led the team has followed me for many years, and he knows what I value most." ”

Severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and a strict sense of time are personal habits of Rubens, and all who follow him know this.

But Benjamin looked at the street corner where there was no movement, but only saw the believers who cowered behind the wall and looked this way, but the faint sound of horses' hooves disappeared, and he felt that something was not quite right, and he was about to say something, when he heard the crazy chanting of the Gallup incantation—"The shadow gives me strength, I give the shadow life..."

The sight of many corpses piling up on the ground and rivers of blood is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people, but standing behind the soldiers who are fighting frantically, this "Snake Fang" Bishop has unleashed a powerful spell that can only be learned by the "Shadow Priest" level 2: "Shadow Guard".
