CHAPTER XXIII
Taryn and Coctor were tied to ropes and dragged by the Templars on horseback, and the pedestrians on the side of the street looked at the two clay figurines in amazement, killing them without realizing that they were the lord of the city and the captain of the garrison.

The civilians followed the Templars all the way to the Lord's reception hall.
There were already a number of soldiers kneeling on the ground, still beaten by the Templars and not daring to return fire. Because they know that they can't fight at all, and if they dare to fight back, I'm afraid it will be even worse.
"Isn't that the city lord?" said a civilian, surprised as he recognized Tyron, who was covered in mud.
"Oh my God, what are the Templars doing here?" another civilian was equally surprised.
Duolun stepped forward at this time, cleared his throat and said, "Ladies of Novohesk, yes, as you said, here is the city lord Tyrann, and the captain of the garrison, Coctor, and the rest are their soldiers. ”
The commoners were talking below, and Doren continued: "Today the Holy See will judge them for their sins, and you can speak freely about their past crimes!"
"Are you really going to kill any bastard!?" asked a middle-aged man in ragged clothes as the civilians fell silent.
"Yes!" Doron nodded.
"The sins of these bastards are countless! each one is enough to send them to hell!" the middle-aged man roared.
"Oh? Duolun asked curiously.
......
As the Templars judged the Lord and his minions, Ao Xingfeng and the Eliza Brigade were sitting in the reception hall.
"Is what you said true?" asked Ao Xingfeng.
Tifa nodded, just now Tifa told Ao Xingfeng that when the city lord of Tylen built New Hesk City at that time, not only did he not fight the undead head-on, but also sacrificed many civilians as sacrifices to let the undead leave, and then every once in a while, the city lord would select some people from among the civilians as sacrifices to stop the invasion of the undead.
"I thought he was very capable, relying on these militias that were not powerful at all to resist the attack of the undead. Ao Xingfeng frowned and said, no matter what the lord of a city is, he should not be so unbearable, you must know that such a big city lord is the elite of the nobles.
"But it's okay, so that the civilians of Novoheysk will have no complaints. Marin said from the side.
"What about Novoheysk?" Ao Xingfeng asked.
"We are at the mercy of Captain Ao. Marin bowed modestly and said, but he had a big opinion of Tifa beside Ao Xingfeng.
......
The Templars were very aggressive and aggressive, and none of the people who were found to be involved in the conspiracy escaped, and in just two days, dozens of officials were arrested in Novoheysk to participate in the matter, but it is still unknown what their purpose was.
In the past two days, the actions of the Templars have caused panic in the entire city of Novoheysk, which was already suppressed by the undead attack, and now the Templars have made such a big move, the civilians are so frightened that they are hiding in their homes and dare not go out, and the streets are empty except for the Templar patrols.
In the Tylen Mansion, Ao Xingfeng sat on a chair and listened to Marin's report.
"Holy Envoy, I suspect that they have something to do with the heretics, such evil deeds can only be done by those who deserve to go to hell!" There were only two people in the room, Ma Lin and Ao Xingfeng, and there were many Templars guarding them, and they were not afraid of being eavesdropped.
"According to you, is this an operation against me? doesn't that mean that my identity has been revealed? But no, we never showed a flaw, and that's where they learned my identity. Ao Xingfeng said in a low voice.
"It is not known where they got their information, but one thing is certain, they want to defile you and cut off your connection with the Goddess. Marin said worriedly, he was worried about whether Ao Xingfeng would not be able to get the favor of the goddess.
Ao Xingfeng took out the close-fitting statue of the goddess, and proved with his actions that he could still use the light of the goddess, although there was not much light power left in the statue of the girl in the Holy Land, but a small display was still possible.
After activating the statue of the goddess, a warm and pleasant light emanated from the statue of the goddess, calming Marin's heart and soothing the brow he had been frowning.
"If my identity is revealed, then the cultists and the undead can't do just that! they may well gather a large army to wipe out the city of Novoheysk and never suffer from it. Ao Xingfeng pinched his chin and said.
Marin nodded, as an existence that all pagans feared, it was natural that they would use all their strength to kill the Holy Envoy whenever they had the chance.
"Then I'm afraid it's not long to stay here, presumably they have already mobilized a lot of undead scattered around here, and they are still waiting for a steady stream of undead reinforcements, we can't sit still! Ao Xingfeng stood up and ordered, and Marin bent over and left the room.
......
After several days of panic among the civilians, the news finally came that shocked them even more: the Templars would execute all the arrested criminals by noon, including Lord Tyron, garrison captain Coctor, and other officials.
"Knight, Lord. Tifa saw Ao Xingfeng walking out of the mansion, and bowed slightly and said.
In recent days, Eliza's brigade has lived under the protection of the Templars, and has lived a life that was unimaginable before, and Tifa Mao recommended himself to be Ao Xingfeng's maid, of course, this matter was strongly prevented by Marin, according to Marin's meaning, he wished that this woman was far away from the Holy Envoy, you must know that the Holy Envoy almost lost the gift of the goddess because of him, of course, this is all his imagination.
"Tifa, you've come just in time, go back and inform your sisters, pack your bags, we're evacuating Novohisk. Ao Xingfeng greeted him and said.
Tifa didn't ask much questions, though confused, and hurried towards the Eliza Brigade camp.
When Ao Xingfeng arrived at the execution site, the Templars had already assembled again, and the timid civilians had also walked out of their homes to watch from the perimeter of the execution ground, and it was quite spectacular for thousands of people to gather around the edge of this small execution ground, but it was strange that so many people were silent. The image of the Templars capturing the prisoners in the past few days has been deeply reflected in their minds.
As noon came, Ao Xingfeng sat down on a chair beside the execution ground and nodded, as two Templars carried an official to the guillotine.
A priest announced his guilt in front of the crowd, drawing boos from the civilians.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"This wolf-hearted dog thing should have ended up like this!"
"Justice!"
When the first official's head hit the ground, the civilians seemed overly emotional, and it was clear that they were resorting to criminal law to release the feelings that had been suppressed in their hearts.
One by one, officials were escorted to the guillotine, dozens of human heads were piled up on the edge of Xingtai, piled up into a small mountain, and those civilians with poor psychological quality spit out on the spot, and some covered their noses, not wanting to ask about the strong and pungent smell of blood.
The captain of the garrison of Novoheysk City in Coquet, but he abused his power and did a lot of things to rob the people's daughters and convict them indiscriminately, and he had a lot of civilian blood debts in his hands, and it was time to pay for it in blood.
Coquet looked at the heads piled up on the hill with a pale face, his legs couldn't stop shaking, since the death of many capable people under Tyrann after the earthquake, he a small patrol captain soared all the way and became the second-in-command of the city lord, he used this power to seek a lot of benefits, and now he was pushed up to Xingtai and looked at the angry civilians below, trembling all over.
Some of the civilians were overly agitated and tried to rush over the fence towards Coctor, but the Templars stepped forward to stop them.
"It's okay! Blood debt and blood will be paid, and the civilians will be punished for the sins he committed. Ao Xingfeng said, stopping the Templars.
Picking up Coctor's two Templars, leaving them behind, and walking away, Coquet looked desperately at the enraged civilians who swarmed towards him.
Under the siege of everyone, Cockett quickly lost his breath, and Taryn watched this scene indifferently in the cage. The cheers of the civilians on the other side were deafening, and the bullies who had oppressed them for so long were finally rewarded, and they had killed them themselves.
"Quiet!go back where you should be!" Marin roared in a deep voice, the sound waves sweeping through the crowd like a wave, and the civilians were stunned, and left Xingtai in a daze, returning to the side to await Tyron's execution.
At this time, Ao Xingfeng got up and walked outside the cage where Tyren was being held, and said, "Get ready to go on the road." ”
The two Templars pulled open the cage, and Taryn walked out with a blank hand, seemingly unconcerned about his next criminal offense.
Taryn was escorted to the front of Xingtai and confronted the rioting civilians.
"Executioner, give me death!"
"You pay back my wife and children!
"You life-hungry dog!"
"Hell is where people like you should go!"
Taryn closed his eyes, and then opened and glanced at the angry civilians below, he has been in a high position for many years, and he has practiced a body of coercion, and the civilians who have been scanned by Taryn consciously closed their mouths and did not dare to squeak.
"If it weren't for me, think about it with your dog's brains! You'd be there right now! a dead corpse on the side of the road? or food for the undead, or one of the undead?" said Taryn in a deep voice.
Unable to look at it, Doron went up and kicked Tyron in the hind legs, causing Tyron to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"You don't know the sin!" said Doron, putting his sword around Tyron's neck.
"What am I guilty of?" asked Taryn, looking up without emotion.
"You!" Duolun couldn't help but swing his sword and slash down, but Ao Xingfeng stopped him.
Walking up to Tyranny, Ao Xingfeng said, "You sacrificed your own people just to survive, do you still insist on your innocence?"
"By sacrificing them, I saved more of my people. Then I ask you, Captain Ao, if you were in my position and didn't have the slightest strength to defend against the undead, what would you do?
