Chapter 106: Night Talk (Part II)
Elwood's face sank, "What does Bishop Wenger mean by this, what have I done in the past four years that is not for the temple?"
"That's because you are the Temple, the Temple is you, and you are defending the interests of the Temple by defending your own rights," Wenger said calmly, "and Vennal V has done a better job than you on this point, at least he is right in one sentence - the foundation of the Temple is here, not there." Bishop Wenger pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"Very well, it looks like we're finally talking about it. Elwood brought a stool for himself and sneered, "Then tell me, Bishop Wenger, what we should do to save the entire human race in this situation." β
"I don't know, but we need to first reveal the truth to the public, they should at least know where the real enemy is, and at this time the whole human world must be united. β
Elwood's eyes narrowed, "And then, are you all right with the gods? You are naΓ―ve to know nothing about what you call your enemy." Elwood lifted the kettle on the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea, "You know, since sitting in this position, my biggest gain is not the power in my hands, but the knowledge of the world. β
Arsene Wenger remained silent, waiting for the other man to continue.
"Don't be blinded by the development of magic, Wenger, we are not the first aborigines of the Dawn Continent, nor are the elves, as early as tens of thousands of years ago, there was a powerful civilization on this continent, they developed far more than today's humans, but they quickly perished just a hundred years ago, just because they chose the wrong opponent, what I am doing now is to prevent the tragedy from happening again. Elwood's expression became serious, "I can't do this alone, so I need your help." β
His Majesty's eyes were full of anticipation, but Wenger on the other side disappointed him, who shook his head.
"Even if what you say is true, don't you think it's too late, we have lost contact with the above, even Vennar V has left the human world, Your Majesty, believe it or not, the war has begun. β
Elwood was a little annoyed, "No, it's just a test, a test to distinguish between the true believers and the betrayers, as long as we can inflict heavy damage on those Imperials, we can win back the trust of the gods, with their help, we will be the final winners." β
"I don't think so, my majesty. After a long silence, Bishop Wenger spoke.
A fierce glint flashed in Elwood's eyes, his patience was running out, if he couldn't convince Wenger, he could only take some extreme measures, deep down in his heart, he had never taken the opposition people seriously, but now the timing was a little sensitive, and he needed to eliminate all the elements of instability.
He did care about Wenger's popularity among the people and the church, but he didn't mind killing the other party if he really wanted to tear his face, and he could still bear the price, because for some reason the uneasiness in his heart was particularly strong tonight.
Elwood's face was cloudy, and he was thinking about what to do with Wenger.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up outside the window, judging from the location, it should be in the west of the city, not far from the city gate, there is a small bazaar, Elwood's heart moved, what, is it a fire?
Just as he was about to call someone to inquire about the situation, there was also a fire in the north of the city, and then more and more fires danced in the night.
The captain of the guard, Mirodich, almost stumbled into the house, his face was full of unprecedented panic and panic, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the enemy is attacking! It's an enemy attack!! the two gates in the west and north of the city have been lost!! the enemy army is now killing towards the Palace of Renai!"
Ellwood was stunned, his first reaction was impossible, he had already eliminated all the dangers, so which unit was the one who was now killing Santa Marsa?
Elwood was now confused, and he couldn't care about Wenger's affairs, so he pulled Mirodic over, "You send someone to see where the enemy is." β
Soon after Mirodich left, Elwood paced anxiously in the room, just now he didn't react, and then he finally slowly came back to his senses, not to mention how bizarre this kind of army appeared, how to break through the outer defensive circle, there are still 50,000 defenders in the city of Santa Massa alone, of which 20,000 are still the absolute elite of the temple, there is no reason to be broken through two gates in just a few minutes, and there is no ability to resist and delay.
In a short period of time, the city was already in chaos, shouts of killing were everywhere, and Elwood's heart sank completely, and the most important thing was that he still didn't know what went wrong, and this battle was simply inexplicable.
After a while, the knock on the door came back to the outside, and Elwood walked over quickly, opened the door and saw Mirodich fighting outside the door, and said anxiously, "What, have you found out which unit it is and how many people there are?"
As a result, the next moment, he saw a long sword pierce the chest of the captain of the guard, and Mirodich's body slipped weakly, revealing the murderer behind him.
Lehart VII drew his sword and wiped the blood from it, the old lion king was now covered in black iron armor, a helmet and gauntlets, and he didn't look like an old man at all.
"Your Majesty Elwood, we have finally met. β
The latter's mouth opened wide and his expression was incredulous, "What...... How is it possible, shouldn't you still be resting in the Bear Forest right now, how can you be here?!"
However, Elwood is not a stupid person to sit in the Pope's position, he thought of something, turned his head suddenly, looked at Wenger behind him, and was furious, "It's you! You really collaborated with the enemy?! β
Before he could finish his sentence, he was punched hard in the lower abdomen, and Elwood fell to his knees holding his stomach, tears streaming down his eyes.
Lehart VII frowned, and said to the knight who threw the punch, "What are you doing? Remember our purpose, we are not here for conquest or revenge. β
Hearing this, the panic in Elwood's heart subsided slightly, and there was a glimmer of hope, as long as he could survive, he still had a chance, and he still had the possibility of turning the tables through the current level, at this time, he didn't care about the dignity of the pope, and hurriedly said, "I can cooperate with you and promise you all your ......."
However, before he finished speaking, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and Elwood looked down and saw the sword in the old lion king's hand, looking dazed.
"I'm sorry, it's not a personal vendetta, I can promise not to hurt anyone else, but you know, how influential a pope is among the faithful, we can't afford to spare your life. β
