Chapter 474: Purging the Traitors
A few days later, the one-eyed mystery man came to a secret basement chamber where a dozen torches were lit and two dozen black-robed priests kneeling in it.
When the One-Eyed man appeared, everyone looked at him, and then he nodded lightly and walked to a nearby room.
And a thin man priest got up and followed at his signal.
Not a single person made a sound during the whole process, and after the one-eyed man entered another room, everyone closed their eyes again and lowered their heads, meditating in silence.
"Honorable High Priest, do you have anything to tell me?" The thin man first came to the one-eyed man very respectfully after entering the room, kissed him lightly on the green ring on his hand, and then asked very respectfully.
"Bucky, the cooperation between us and Lopez's new King Phil has been finalized, and now I have a task for you. "The One-Eyed Man, the mysterious High Priest of the Serpent Cult, took off his scarf that covered his face, revealing a face that could be called terrifying.
It was covered in corroded scars, and one eye had become cloudy.
"Yes, please ask the High Priest to command. Bucky's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"I'll hand over to you thirty Viper Knights, and your mission is to assassinate General Scott, Jason's camp in Morabby, south of Tilla, and don't be careless, it is said that in addition to the ordinary garrison, there are also an unknown number of black crows. ”
The High Priest took a token from the table and handed it to Bucky, "Go ahead, don't let me down. ”
Camp Morabi cut off an important food route for Phil and is now a thorn in Phil's flesh.
"Yes, High Priest, I will definitely come back with General Scott's head. Bucky took the token with both hands and replied very respectfully.
Then he asked with some hesitation: "Great Priest, since we are going to destroy the Lopez Kingdom sooner or later, why do we still want to cooperate with this new king?" And you also directly hinted at our identity, of course, I am not questioning your decision, I just think that the Lopez Kingdom and we are a life and death enemy, will this make Phil suspicious and wary of us." ”
"If we hide our heads and show our tails, we will arouse the suspicions of the new king,"
The High Priest showed a very ugly smile: "Bucky, it's been three years since you joined the Snake Worship Sect, do you think you will be haunted by some friction between the Snake Worship Sect and the Wasteland Bandit Gang five years ago?"
"This ...... Of course not. Bucky replied.
"Then do you think that most of our members of the Snake Worship Sect will hate what happened hundreds of years ago? Don't be kidding, the predecessors who experienced that catastrophe back then are long dead, and where are there still people who have hatred for the kingdom of Lopez now!" the High Priest patted him on the shoulder.
Now Bucky understands the meaning of the Great Sacrifice, there is really no eternal hatred, even if the Snake Worship Sect was exterminated by the Lopez Kingdom back then, but what does it have to do with the current sect members?
After Bucky left, the High Priest silently raised his hand and touched his face, revealing a very terrifying smile: "Hehehehe, Sharp Lopez, I will return the pain you brought me to your descendants little by little!"
On the other side, Bucky went out and ordered thirty pit viper knights before heading south, leaving the underground fortress that night.
He said to one of the knights beside him, "Accidents and dangers are prone to occur when traveling at night, so order the knights to rest in place and continue our journey after dawn." ”
Then he handed over the reins of his war horse: "I'll go to the side for convenience." ”
"Yes, Lord Priest. The knight replied very respectfully.
Bucky turned and walked into the depths of the forest, looked around closely, and found a strange mark on a tree.
After seeing this mark, Bucky let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not mistaken. ”
Then he looked around a few times, and took out a small scroll from his bosom, which he was about to bury under the tree.
At this time, a very indifferent voice suddenly came from behind him: "The high priest really did not guess wrong, there are traitors within the church, or the enemy's spies. ”
After Bucky heard this, a transcendent force suddenly condensed in his hand, he wanted to destroy this scroll, but then a white light flashed, Bucky let out a miserable scream, and his arms and legs were actually cut off by Qi Gen!
A very tall figure stepped out from behind him, slowly picking up the scroll that had fallen to the ground, and slowly unfolding it under Bucky's angry and weak gaze.
He is an extraordinary and strong man, his life is very tenacious, and he can't die for a while after being so seriously injured.
"Sure enough, it's Jason's men, and it looks like the people who joined the church with you in the first place are going to be investigated and monitored. The tall figure spoke in a cold tone, which made people tremble.
"You're an executioner...... Ha, worship the snake cult...... Eventually, Francis's White Wolf Banner will be immortal!" Bucky said with a smile, and then shattered his heart.
The action was so decisive that the snake worshippers had no time to stop it.
"It's horrible. ”
The executioner squinted at the lifeless Bucky, the young man who had done a lot of slaughtering civilians and offering sacrifices and eradicating those who disobeyed the Church's prohibitions since joining the Serpent Cult.
Because he was highly valued by the Snake Worship Sect's sacrificial council, he sat in the sacrificial position in just three years, and if nothing else, he would be qualified to compete for the position of high priest in a few years.
If it weren't for the high priest's vigilance, who would have guessed that this high-ranking young man would be a spy sent by Jason?
At this time, the pit viper knights in the distance also followed the sound and chased after them, and then they saw the dead Bucky priest and the big man dressed as the snake worshippers, and they were immediately a little confused and overwhelmed.
"Bucky rebelled against the Church, I will be the leader of your next mission, go back and rest. The executioner looked at them and said with a blank face.
With that, they took the lead and walked towards the camp, as for Bucky's body, someone would come to clean it up later, and the tree that could have been used to make a fuss was also useless due to the blood stained.
After all, none of the members of the pervasive group of crows were waste, and once they spotted the bloody gas nearby, they would guess what was going on here.
Then even if they leave them misleading information, they will not believe it.
