"Haven Wright has been captured by us, what's going on on your side?"

In a rather short sentence, Elizabeth put the wood piece of sound transmission to her lips, and when she finished speaking, she touched her finger and sent the news into the distance.

At this moment, she stood alone in the roof garden of the palace, leaning on the fence, and raised her eyes to look at the entire royal capital. Wang Du looked very tired, and after a long wait, the people finally opened the closed door and stepped forward with a cautious and dazed look, not knowing what to do. From the west of the city to the inner city, scattered corpses and weapon wreckage were scattered all the way, and no one cleaned them up, which looked unusually dazzling in the midday sun. Some parents hurriedly covered their children's eyes and hid in their homes.

In the distance, the West Gate shattered into pieces and fell feebly on the City Gate Street, covered with the footprints of the Woods.

Not far to the south of the palace, in the direction of St. Peter's Basilica, a flame burned brightly, covering the idols and the courtyard, and reducing them to ashes little by little. The smoke reached the sky, like a waving iron rod, and even the wind could not blow away.

Outside the fire, a circle of soldiers formed a blockade to stop the believers who tried to rush in. Outside the blockade, believers gathered in circles and circles, most of them falling to their knees, and their weeping echoed throughout the inner city.

Seeing this, Elizabeth couldn't help but take a deep breath and withdraw her gaze. Then she heard a cacophony of Woods coming and going, tidying up the streets and busily picking up surrendered soldiers and dealing with captured priests.

- It's just a routine after conquering a city.

Elizabeth was not surprised, although at the moment, there was still some dreamlike unreality in her heart.

“...... We won. ”

She lowered her eyes and muttered silently in her mouth, sounding not much joy, but a deep sense of exhaustion and relief.

After a long march in hiding, they finally arrived at the royal capital. And after she unveiled the black cross, St. Peter's Basilica lost all power, the guardian barrier disappeared on its own, and the little defenders left behind by the church had no hope of victory.

Half of them surrendered, half resisted, and in the end, the only remaining bishop died at the hands of her and three other mages. And now, even after a few hours, those eyes full of resentment and unwillingness still seem to be dangling in front of her eyes.

Elizabeth shook her head.

A flame ignited from her hand. Holding the fire, she took out a crumpled letter from her pocket, thought about it, put the letter in the fire, and let it burn slowly, turning to ashes little by little. And before the envelope was completely engulfed in flames, it seemed that words like "my amazing daughter" could be seen on it......

A breeze blew, and the ashes scattered over the palace and disappeared without a trace.

She turned.

"Lord Duke, we have roughly searched the royal capital. A general-like figure walked up the stairs, bowed deeply, and reported, "A total of fifty-seven more absconding priests have been captured, and all of them have been imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Prison. There are about twenty priests in the whole king's capital, and we should send someone after them?"

"No need. Elizabeth waved her hand, "Leave them alone and stabilize the situation in the city." ”

The general nodded and asked again, "What about ...... What about the believers in the Blessed Zone?"

When Elizabeth heard this, she also sighed, revealing a somewhat troubled look. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Ignore them for now, just strengthen the security in that area." If there is trouble, arrest them, and if they don't, don't provoke them. ”

"Understood. ”

"And ...... For the rest of the civilians, you should get people to sort out a proclamation as soon as possible, let them know that we are not bandits and traitors, and pacify everyone as soon as possible. As for the bureaucrats and aristocrats in the city, they will be put under house arrest first, and I will meet them one by one later. ”

The general nodded: "Yes, Lord Duke." ”

With that, he turned and left. Elizabeth paused for a moment in the garden on the rooftop, and then turned around and followed the stairs back to the corridors of the palace.

Woodmen were busy looking down the hallway, but everyone stopped to salute her respectfully when they saw her. Elizabeth followed the corridor all the way to the underground cells of the palace. There was a strange priest in the cell—a man who had been locked up here when they had just stormed the palace, and it seemed that he had been locked up for a long time, and he was still insane, and he felt strange, so he was left here for the time being.

"Did the church keep you locked up here?" asked Elizabeth softly as she walked to the door, through the sealed iron door.

"Who!...... I'm not ......?" came a hysterical voice from inside.

"Lord Duke, we have just investigated carefully and have found out his identity. When the knight at the door said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said with some hesitation, "This person should have been locked up by the Pope and used as a ...... That's what. You'd better not approach him, he's too dirty to hurt your eyes, so we'll dispose of him with the other priests. ”

When Elizabeth heard this, she immediately realized what was going on.

Because of this, she shook her head.

"No, the church is not completely dead. Keep him, he has other effects. ”

As she spoke, she pushed the door open, completely ignoring the knight's obstruction, and entered the basement. In the basement, she saw the priest in plain clothes—clean, unbruised, but from the frightened to almost neurotic look in his eyes, she felt that the man in front of her was full of holes.

After thinking about it, she spoke in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." You see, I'm not from the church, Grant he ......"

At first it was fine, but at the mention of the name, the priest became extremely agitated, pushed Elizabeth away, and shouted as he stepped back, "......No! Get away from me...... Devil, get out, don't ......"

Elizabeth frowned.

Forced to be helpless, she could only wave her hand and freeze the other party with restraint techniques. But what surprised her a little was that the moment the dark elements converged towards the priest, an extremely terrifying spiritual power suddenly erupted from the priest's body, bounced off all those elements, and also led to the failure of the binding technique.

"How is that possible?" said Elizabeth, taken aback, and looked at the priest carefully. However, at this time, that powerful spiritual power disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

She felt weird.

That mental power...... Not to mention others, I don't know how many times stronger than her, so strong as a sea, it shouldn't have appeared in a young priest at all.

What the hell is going on?

Elizabeth was about to find a few more mages to come over and carefully study the strange situation just now, but the knight outside the room suddenly knocked on the door, leaned against the door and said anxiously: "Lord Duke, there has just broken out in the Divine Blessing area of the city, and it seems that there is a bishop hidden over there, you can go over and take a look!"

“...... All right. ”

There was no choice but to leave the room and quickly rush outside. As for this unusually eccentric young priest, she put it aside and studied it slowly later.
