Volume 1 Chapter 83: The Crazy Woman
At the entrance of the dark alley, there were corpses lying on the ground, and more than a dozen knights in black clothes and black armor gambled the two holy knights on a dead end.
Both knights had been injured a lot, and if it weren't for the constant flow of holy light on their bodies to help them regain their strength, I'm afraid they would have died on the spot.
And even so, they are already at the end of their crossbows, and they can't hold on for long at all.
However, they could not retreat, let alone flee, for behind them was the Holy One of the Church, Lord Ilona. If Ilona had any strengths and weaknesses, even if they could escape with their lives, they would face a terrifying punishment 10,000 times more cruel than death.
It was a well-prepared attack, and just as Ilona's team was on their way back, a group of heavily armed mysterious teams came out, they cooperated tacitly, and the combat power was extremely strong, and more than a dozen of Ilona's guards were slaughtered in an instant.
If it weren't for the captain of the guard who gave up his life to buy Ilona some time to escape, she might not have been able to support her now.
The enemy was clearly prepared, and the huge neighborhood seemed to be full of enemies, and no matter which way they fled, they would eventually be blocked back.
Right now, she has been cornered, and there is no way to escape, Ilona smiled bitterly, and a deep despair suddenly appeared in her heart.
It seems that that breakup is goodbye...... Ilona suddenly thought of someone who haunted her, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
"My lord, let's take a rest, I don't know why, they didn't attack directly, but surrounded us. One of the surviving holy knights said wearily.
"Didn't attack?" Ilona was stunned, and immediately had a few doubts in her heart.
When this group of guys first appeared, they were extremely ruthless, and most of the guards were killed with a single sword, and it seemed that they didn't want to stay alive at all.
But now that victory was in sight, they became unhurried. What is the reason why they choose to surround themselves in one more move than rush in and kill themselves?
Could it be that they had other plans than to kill someone? In desperation, Ilona suddenly had such an unbelievable idea.
Just as Ilona was thinking, a dense crowd of figures suddenly appeared at the mouth of the dark alley, and the war knives in their hands flashed with an eerie cold light in the moonlight.
The two holy knights immediately assumed a fighting stance, but in the face of the mortal situation, their backs were constantly breaking out in a cold sweat, and the hands holding the swords couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Looking at the last two trembling holy knights, Ilona suddenly felt very unbearable.
In fact, in essence, she was just a country girl, and even if she made a fortune by accident and became a saint of the church inexplicably, it didn't make her feel that she had any nobility.
Seeing more than a dozen guards die tragically in front of her, Ilona's heart was deeply touched. If the final outcome must be death, why implicate so many people?
Which of them is not flesh and blood, cared for, cared for?
Ilona suddenly sighed and patted the two holy knights on the shoulders and freed them from their protective circle.
"Your Excellency!" the two holy knights were startled, and immediately tried to pull her back.
However, Ilona waved her hand lightly, stopped the kindness of the two knights, and then said with her head held high, "You are looking for me, let them go." ”
"My lord, it is our accusation to protect you, please let me fight until the last moment!" said the Holy Knight earnestly.
Ilona shook her head: "You have fulfilled your mission, I have no right to send you to death, think about the people who are waiting for you to go back at home, don't let them be sad." ”
The two holy knights glanced at each other, and a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces, obviously they had been moved by Ilona's words, but they didn't dare to really let go of their mission for a while.
"Hahahaha, Ilona-sama, I didn't expect you to have such a compassionate side. A shrill voice rang out among the figures, and then a familiar figure slowly walked out.
"It's you?!"
Hearing this, Ilona's heart suddenly jumped, because the owner of this voice was Sister Berta.
Before returning home, Sister Berta had asked him for leave on personal business, and Ilona graciously granted the slightly outrageous request.
At the time of the assassination, Ilona was also glad for Berta's good luck, but she didn't expect that all this had anything to do with her.
"Of course it's me, Lord Sage, do you think you can enjoy all this in peace after stealing the divine power of Her Highness the Holy Maiden?" Berta sneered.
Ilona's heart sank: "She sent you to kill me?"
Berta nodded sarcastically: "You took something that doesn't belong to you, Your Highness naturally can't allow you to live anymore, so if you want to blame it, blame yourself for being smart." ”
"Hmph, don't make excuses for your criminal behavior, no matter how high-sounding it is, it's just a bloody murder, do it, as long as you let them go, I won't resist. Ilona snorted coldly and gritted her teeth.
"Hmph, since you want to be a true saint, then I will fulfill you......!
Ilona nodded to the two holy knights, who sighed, after all, they couldn't overcome the desire to survive in their hearts, and dropped the holy sword in their hands.
Berta waved her hand triumphantly, and two people immediately jumped out of the figure standing behind her, holding a long crossbow and pointing directly at Ilona.
"Goodbye Mick...... I don't know if you, bastard, will remember that night. Ilona slowly closed her eyes.
The sound of the springs was evident in the night sky, and the bolts were fired at Ilona with a loud sound of breaking wind.
In the last moments of her life, Ilona didn't have the slightest fear, but felt a little regretful, regretting that she didn't have the opportunity to say the words buried in her heart to someone.
"Ah......h
Two screams came from behind Ilona, and she opened her eyes in surprise to see that the two Holy Knights, who had given up their resistance, were already lying in a pool of blood, their eyes wide open and their faces full of surprise.
Ilona's eyes turned red and she yelled, "Berta, they've given up resistance, why are you still poisoning?"
"I'm amazed at your naivety, Ilona, do you think I'm going to survive an assassination of this magnitude?"
"Then why didn't you kill me first?"
"Kill you?" Bertha sneered, "You naturally have to die, but not now, but after you say how to steal divine power!"
"What?" Ilona was stunned.
"Surprised? You and that damn woman were just a little lucky enough to climb on my head and do a good job? I've been serving the church for decades, what are you?
When I get the way to steal divine power from you, I will go to that slut to settle accounts, and the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light can only be me, and I have to be in the past!"
Berta roared hysterically, and because of her excitement, all her facial features were huddled together, and her already ugly face was even more hideous, like a demon from hell.
"You're crazy...... There is no way to steal divine power in this world!" Ilona looked at the crazy Berta in a daze, and a deep sadness suddenly appeared in her heart.
"Don't you give up?" Berta sneered, "I have 10,000 ways to get you to speak, enjoy it!"
As she spoke, Berta reached out her palm and grabbed it at Ilona.
