Cedar Forest City is not strong, but it is a prosperous city with more than 100,000 people. The place is not heavily guarded, there are no valuable natural resources around, and it is a bustling trading city.
Of course, this does not mean that Cedar Forest City is an undefended city, especially since the invasion incident has not been long ago, the troops have not yet been withdrawn, and there is still a battalion of swordsmen stationed at the gate of the city all year round.
On this morning, as soon as the guards pushed open the heavy gate, they saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and a group of fierce knights rolled in, heading straight for the city gate! Three knights in golden helmets and golden armor rushed to the front, exuding a brilliant magical light on their bodies, which almost dazzled the eyes of the captain of the guard! The Chinese army on the other side fluttered several flags, and the captain of the guard saw the logo of the Sequoia Kingdom, but he couldn't remember for a moment which great nobleman's army it was.
"Who?" the captain of the guard asked loudly as he stopped in front of Reilly's team.
Minnie Mouse stepped out of the crowd, pointed her whip at the captain of the guard, and said angrily, "Are you blind, even Lord Richard's team dares to stop you, can't you see the insignia of the three goddesses, can't you see the coat of arms of the Dark Sanctuary, get out of here! If you dare to say a word more, I will kill you as a blasphemer!"
The captain of the guard felt a pang in his heart, blasphemy was the worst sin in the Faro plane. Once this charge is confirmed, not only will he be slowly burned to death by the divine fire, but his family will also be burned at the stake.
In fact, the captain of the guard had already been instructed by his superiors that if he encountered Richard's messenger, or himself, he could be embarrassed or even humiliated, and under no circumstances should he let the other party step into the royal capital. However, in the face of the knight order, which could be killed at any time, the captain of the guard really did not have the courage to draw his sword.
Just as he hesitated, Minnie's whip had already fallen, and the captain of the guard fell with a scream, a bloody streak on his face.
The guards drew their swords one after another, but they didn't dare to really rush over, they just shouted in place.
Minnie said coldly, "You all want to die?"
The guards immediately sheathed their swords, and some of the cowardly even threw their swords to the ground.
Minnie snorted coldly and returned to the group. With a wave of his hand, the Knights immediately rushed into the royal capital and ran towards the House of Lords.
Today was the day when the young nobleman presented his new evidence in the House of Lords, and the people sat down early in the room to flaunt their diligence and nobility: "We have begun our work before the untouchables have woken up. ”
The young nobleman didn't look as nervous as he had been last time, and he held a thick stack of manuscript paper, ready to read it to everyone.
At this time, a loud noise suddenly came from the door. Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a knight in golden armor slowly withdrawing his sword.
Reilly walked in through the doorway, dressed in a simple robe, and the Dark Sword in his hand stood out.
The young nobleman had just looked impassioned, but now he was so stiff that he couldn't say a word.
Reilly walked to the podium, looked at the young nobleman playfully, and said with a smile, "I've heard that some people accuse Richard of being an alien invader. It's the rhythm of the god war, I like it!"
Before he could finish speaking, dozens of heavily armed knights poured into the House of Lords, their weapons still stained with blood. The nobles were silent, and no one would be stupid enough to ask the guards why they had disappeared, and no one dared to take Reilly's words. Divine War, that is a word a hundred times heavier than the invaders, is the realm of the gods, the forbidden area of mortals, once touched, the entire Sequoia Kingdom will usher in a drastic change!
Reilly stood on the podium, and the young nobleman could no longer support his body and collapsed to the ground.
In a suffocating silence, Reilly spoke, "I'm here to announce something. That is, in the name of the great goddess of springs, hunting, and forests, I declare this man a blasphemous heretic, and he will be put to death on the spot, and all his immediate family members will be burned at the stake! This wealth will be nationalized and then distributed by the royal family. The verdict was pronounced...... Execute it now!"
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business!" the young nobleman suddenly howled, and his mournful voice pierced the nobles' eardrums. He used his hands and feet together, rolling and crawling to the ground to escape from the podium.
Clark shot a black light that struck the young nobleman in the back of the heart. The next moment, his body ignited with black flames, and the whole person kept rolling on the ground, letting out a terrible wail.
"This—this is the power of darkness!" a nobleman in a magic robe stood up, pointed at Clark, and said sharply, "Who are you?!"
Reilly said unhurriedly, "His name is Clark, and he is the Pope of the Night Lady. ”
"Impossible!" said the mage nobleman loudly, "The priesthood of the Night Lady is night, not darkness!"
"You're right, but ......" Reilly glanced at the venue, and then said, "Mortals can become stronger through cultivation, and gods can also obtain more priesthoods through wisdom. By the time the Night Lady knocks Sinai down to the altar, you'll be called the Dark Lady!"
There was a dead silence in the audience, and no one dared to take up this topic, including the mage nobleman who had just stood up.
If it had been a few months ago, the nobles would not have had much reverence for a newly revived god. However, the several conflicts between the Dark Sanctuary and the Church of Sinai during this period ended in the total destruction of the latter, and anyone could see that Reilly was behind the support of the Dark Templar, and if the situation was bad enough to start the Divine War, the Night Lady might fall into the disadvantage of the War of God, and the Church of Sinai could be uprooted.
At this moment, an elderly nobleman walked out of the crowd, pointed at Reilly, and said angrily: "Reilly! He is just a spokesman! You should go to the main messenger behind the scenes, that is your lord's enemy!"
Reilly's emotionless gaze swept over, and the old nobleman looked at him without fear. In the era of frequent wars, many nobles had the courage to sacrifice, and they were ready to defend honor and faith with their lives.
However, Reilly's answer surprised many people, including the old nobles: "What about the spokesman? What about the messenger? I am not here to play any political game with you! There is only one way to deal with the enemy, and that is to kill him!"
Reilly's words revealed an undisguised killing intent, which made all the nobles lose their voices. No one doubted his resolve, and no one was stupid enough to jump out at this time.
In the past month, the House of Lords has been a battlefield for the nobles to crusade against Richard, and if they don't scold him twice a day, these people will feel that something is missing in their lives. And today, when Reilly brought steel and fire into the House of Lords, the nobles realized how powerless they were.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Reilly glanced at the nobles present and said, "In this world, everything is not just one thing, and every meaning and every possibility it represents will extend to more and wider areas, which is politics." If your eyes can only see what little interest the bloodstained land represents, then I advise you not to mind Richard's affairs. ”
With that, he stepped down from the podium and left the House of Lords with the knights, leaving behind a group of nobles with their own thoughts.
