Chapter 480: Enemies or Allies
As the oldest and most mysterious knight order in the mainland, most people have never witnessed the demeanor of the Inquisition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Chaos cultists soon spotted the Inquisitors coming from the rear, and the elite troops who were originally in charge of guarding the rift gathered together to try to stop the Judgment Army's footsteps.
It was a novel experience to witness the crowd of Chaos Sect's black oppressive crowds rushing towards the Inquisition Army from a distant tower, and even though they were far away, Coria and the others still felt the unstoppable momentum of the Inquisition. In the face of the Chaos cultists, who outnumbered them, the Inquisitors did not panic, and the swarming cultists could not even stop their footsteps.
The golden pillars of light that rose one after another opened the way ahead for the Judgment Army, and the elite troops of the Chaos Cult were completely engulfed by the pillars of fire before they could approach them. As if given life, the pillar of light quickly spread throughout the market area, and when they steadily entered the royal capital, the Chaos cultists lost most of it.
"Open...... Kidding, huh?" Moore muttered in disbelief.
These were the cultists who had cornered them, and most of the Chaos cultists who were wiped out were mostly elite troops, and these elite troops couldn't even approach the Judgment Army's troops!
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer, and the cheers of the soldiers could be heard from the walls of the inner city. After staying awake all night, their spirits were finally able to relax a little. Only Coria and Nightingale were not happy, they didn't have a good impression of the Inquisition, so they observed it very carefully.
The two soon discovered a strange phenomenon - the Inquisitors didn't seem to have come to consult the Chaos cultists, and they didn't care about the cultists who didn't stand in their way, and they had no intention of pursuing them. From the moment these people appeared, their destination was the inner city.
After a while, the Inquisitors stopped in front of the inner city gates.
"Open the door, and let your Empress come to me. The gold-armored knight at the front of the army raised his head and looked directly at Ziegler on the wall. It's completely imperative, and it sounds uncomfortable. The man carried a broad-bladed greatsword on his back, made of transparent yellow crystal at both ends, and gray-white metal in the middle, with runes carved into Ziegler that had never seen before.
Most of his face was hidden under his helmet, and his eyes were full of pride.
"Who are you?" Ziegler asked, the man's attitude alerting him.
These people don't look like reinforcements.
"Again, open the gates and let your Empress come out to me. The man did not answer him, but continued to command.
"No way, unless you ......"
Before Ziegler's words fell, the man had already drawn the crystal greatsword on his back, and under the stunned gaze of the soldiers on the city wall, he slashed with his hand, and at the same time, the yellow crystals of the two sections of the blade burst out with extremely dazzling brilliance, and the golden light converged into a half-moon-shaped sword light, penetrating the closed city gate.
The city gate, which the Chaos Cultists had not been able to break through with crowd tactics, collapsed under the man's blow, and even the entrance of the inner city was hung with several cracks in the aftermath.
"I'm not asking for your opinion, did you bring the Empress to me, or did I find her out myself?"
"Archer!" Ziegler shouted, and the soldiers who had not been relaxing for a long time took up their bows and arrows, and Julius and his troops flanked them from the outside. And as the rift closed, the Chaos cultists seemed to have received some kind of instruction to stop attacking, leaving the entrance to the inner city to the Inquisitors.
"Get out of the kingdom of Tarun at once!" Ziegler's face sank, and his instinct told him that it was nothing good for these people to find the Empress.
The man at the head raised an eyebrow, and the warhorse, also clad in golden armor, let out a low, oppressive neigh. He was just a little surprised, he didn't expect that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Tarun would actually resist the Inquisition Army in order to protect the Empress. However, this is all due to ignorance, and they have no idea what kind of opponent they are facing.
"Is this your position?" the man waved the crystal greatsword in his hand again, and almost at the same time, Julius put his two swords together in front of his chest, and his figure shuttled in front of the troops like a ghost, and after the rumors, the obviously disproportionate weapons of the two sides collided together, forming a terrifying muffled sound.
"Captain Julius!"
When the two fought, the soldiers on the city wall reacted, and their worries were overflowing - the blow of this man just now directly destroyed the entire city gate!
Julius' arm trembled involuntarily, and he gritted his teeth, trying not to let himself fly out of the way from being shaken by the man's blow. He had long expected that the power of this sword would be unmatched, and he had made ample preparations, but even so, he could not stabilize his body.
The other party's face was as usual, and after seeing that the blow was unsuccessful, the man's sword turned and cut at Julius horizontally. The sword was not fast, but it seized the opportunity of Julius's strong crossbow, and the double sword blocked the blade, but it was not strong enough to resist the aftermath of the sword, and Julius flew upside down towards the wall, his right arm completely unconscious.
The muffled sound produced by the smashing on the city wall hit the hearts of the soldiers, and after getting the double sword, Julius was the best combat power in the combined forces, but in only two rounds, he was defeated by the other party, and what was even more terrifying was that after knocking Julius out of the air, the man yawned boringly: "It's too weak, if you don't want to be the enemy of the whole church, I advise you to do as I say - take your empress directly, or defeat you and take her away, it's all the same for us." ”
"Shoot the arrows, the catapults on the right flank are ready, don't let these step into the city ......"
"That's enough, Ziegler. ”
Ziegler's order was interrupted by Leah's order, and under the protection of Coria and Nightingale, she slowly walked up to the city wall and looked down condescendingly at the golden-armored knights in front of the city gate: "I'm here, tell me your purpose." ”
However, even in the face of Leah, the man did not show any respect. Because in his opinion, the status of the commander of the Imperial Capital Judgment Army is no less than that of the monarch of any small country. What's more, the Henrys, together with the church, gave them the privilege of judging and stripping the king of his powers.
"Ryan's crime is that he was bewitched by monsters and connived at the Chaos Cult's high-ranking people in the kingdom of Tarun...... Stupid and incompetent, but since he had been assassinated, the Church had cancelled his trial, and Leah, who, during her time as Empress of the Kingdom of Talen, harbored the remnants of the Assassins' Guild and hired one of the direct masterminds of the assassination of Henry V as the captain, compared to your father......"
The man paused, staring playfully at Leah on the city wall.
The empress's youth was beyond his expectations, judging from Leah's deeds since she came to power, he really didn't expect that the other party would be a childish little girl.
But this does not affect the final decision of the church.
"In the midst of the above acts, you will be sent to the imperial capital, where you will be judged by the bishop himself. And Coria ......" said as he looked at the woman beside Riya: "You are not eligible for any judgment, the church's verdict on you is - summary execution!"
