Chapter Ninety-Eight: Obstruction

"Wait!" the guard had barely taken two steps when Marven waved his hand to stop him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Deputy Pioneer, this ......" The guard looked at Marven and then at Mance, looking embarrassed.

"Your Excellency Mance, you have allowed the elite of the Imperial Empire to do this kind of massacre of civilians. Marven stared straight at him, and his tone became cold, "Do you still have a little bit of the glory of being a soldier in your heart?"

"Massacre of civilians?" Mance was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Marven, don't forget, these heretics are our worst enemies. He took a deep breath, "Far scarier than those armies!"

"But they are all just old and weak women and children, what threat can they have?" Marven secretly clenched his fists, with a slight chill in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I can't accept this kind of task!"

"Oh, young man, don't do this, we didn't hurt them, we saved their souls, you see, I also brought the chaplain, or we can hear what he has to say. Mance pointed to an old man in a robe and holding a Bible of Light in the distance, and commanded the guards, "Call the priest." ”

Seeing that Marven was still displeased, Mance continued to persuade: "Marven, haven't you guys always wanted to go to the Holy City? This is just an opportunity to show your devotion to the belief in the God of Light!"

After a while, the priest slowly moved to the city wall, supported by the guards, and saw him kiss the cross on his chest reverently and solemnly, and open the thick book of the Bible of Light in his hand

"Born sinful, only by obeying the Father's teachings and listening to the Father's teachings can the original sin be washed away and the soul saved......"

"The pagans believe in false gods and blaspheme the Father, and they have committed great sins, for which they should atone for ......"

"Your Excellency!" Marven interrupted him, "may I ask if the Holocaust is also a way to atone for the sins of those infidels?"

The priest closed the Bible of Light, and before he could reply, Mance next to him interjected: "Don't say it so ugly! How can this be called a massacre? It is clearly a purge! We are also doing this for the safety of the empire and to defend our own faith!"

"Really?" Marven sneered, "It's also indiscriminate killing of innocents, can Your Excellency tell me what is the essential difference between the two?"

"Oh, Your Excellency Deputy Pioneer, this is not to be confused at all!" the priest said with a dry cough, "the cleansing of the infidels is entirely in accordance with the teachings of God the Father, and it is also our duty as jihadisen, and we have our ...... to them Well...... That can't be called slaughter, the infidels are seduced and deceived by false gods and demons, and we do this to save their souls!"

"Your Excellency, Deputy Pioneer, as a devout and steadfast Mujahideen, you should not be blinded by some worldly views, but always think of upholding the teachings of the Lord and saving those lost souls!"

Marven looked at the two of them singing and harmonizing, and sneered in his heart, these so-called jihadists are under the banner of God, but they are doing similar things as the demons, or rather, they are even more shameless than the demons, although the demons are tyrannical, but they are not hypocritical, and these devout believers regard the slaughter of civilians as some kind of noble and great act.

"Your Excellency's words are commanding and enlightening, and after listening to them, you can rest assured that I will discuss with Your Excellency the Pioneer Officer about the cleansing of the infidels and the propagation of the teachings of God the Father. Marven pretended to be in a state of realization, and pulled Mance into a makeshift command post at the foot of the city walls, and took away the guards guarding the door.

"It's just a purge of some heretics, is it so grand?" Mance didn't know why, and casually opened a map on the table, "Although this Dart town is called a town, it is actually a small city with a considerable scale, do you think we should start with the south of the city or the north of the city?"

Marven secretly took out the "Night Demon Eye" from the storage ring, and sneered: "I don't think I need to, let's start here!"

"Here?" Mance looked at him suspiciously, and then said coldly, "What do you mean?

"No, you're not, but I am. As soon as the words fell, the wand in Marven's hand flashed, and a blue light curtain instantly blocked the entire space.

"Order to spare all the civilians in the city, or you know the consequences! By the way, the army outside won't know what's going to happen in this house. Marven pointed his shining wand straight at Mance.

"So you're a spy!" Mance clenched his saber and laughed instead of anger, "I have to admit that you are indeed very deeply hidden, but your methods are really clumsy, you think that you can force me to obey and dream!" As he shouted, the saber was drawn in response, and the brilliant golden fighting spirit reflected the entire dim command post.

"Hah...... ......" Marven laughed and said, "I don't know if I can force you to obey, but I know that your commander, Your Excellency James, has been working with us very happily now." ”

Marven knew in his heart that although his current strength was not inferior to Mance, in order to make this paladin submit, it was far from enough to rely on force, and only when he had a mental breakdown and wavered will, it was the best strategy to use spiritual magic to control him.

"Impossible!" there was a hint of panic in Mance's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, "You filthy and shameless heretic, don't scare people there, I don't know the strength of the commander?

With knives in both hands, Mance stared at Marven vigilantly, his stooped figure like a cobra with its head held high, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

"Young man, you do have some courage, but you are a magician and a paladin of mine in this small space, it is too arrogant!"

"You're really not giving up, Your Excellency the Pioneer. Marven quickly pulled out the green cylinder sword that had been hidden under the robe, and a blood-red sword slashed at Mance's feet like lightning.

"Then if James is really as powerful as you say, why, he didn't even tell you about my martial arts, you know, in the test ground, it is not easy to hide your strength. Marven tossed his wand aside, raised his sword, and looked at Mance with a smile on his face.

"Blood...... Blood Demon Fighting Qi!" Mance finally changed color in shock after seeing the flash of red light, "You...... Are the rumors of the seal of the Demon Realm true?!" Mance's voice trembled slightly.

Demons,It's the nightmare of Middle-earth for thousands of years,Since the demon world was sealed for more than a thousand years,The demons on the continent have gradually disappeared,But in recent years,Those demons who have disappeared for a long time have gradually appeared in people's sight,There are even several small countries that have been tragically ravaged by the demons,Although the Church of Light has always claimed that the omnipotent father will be with Middle-earth,But the news about the imminent collapse of the demon world is still spreading。

"Of course......" Marven held his sword and walked up to him with a smirk, "Soon, His Majesty the Demon God will descend on this world, and the army of the Demon Realm will trample all the countries and races on this continent under their feet and crush them......" Every time Marven said a word, Mance couldn't help but shudder, and endless fear was spreading in his heart at this moment.

"Impossible! The miracle has come! The omnipotent God of Light will be with us!" Mance roared and raised his sword and rushed towards Marven, the sword pointed at Marven.

Seeing the menacing vanguard, a sneer flashed at the corner of Marven's mouth, and he could see that although Mance's attack seemed to be huge, his moves were chaotic, without the slightest fierce and murderous aura, but like a struggle in despair.

"Heh, do you still count on the God of Light? this time, even that false god can't save you, and the darkness will completely envelop the world!" Marven swung his sword to block the slashing blade, and then quickly took out the "Night Demon Eye......

A moment later, Mance sat in the mess of the command post, looking at Marven with a blank gaze, "Master, what do you command?"

"Order to the army that no innocent person shall be killed indiscriminately, regardless of the faith or belief of the inhabitants of Darttown. Marven put away the Qingwan Sword and the "Night Demon Eye" and removed the magic barrier.

"Yes. Mance nodded, then called the herald and gave his order.

The herald looked at the messy command post with a stunned expression, and it could be seen that the two vanguard officers were present, and it was difficult to say anything, so he quickly left after receiving the order.

After taking Mance away, Marven took out the huge blood essence stone in the storage ring, stared at the magic array engraved on it, and muttered to himself: "After studying for so many days, I finally found some doorways, otherwise I really can't fool them." With that, he chanted a spell softly, and poured some magic power into a miniature magic array on the surface of the blood essence stone, which was almost the size of a fingernail, and the surface of the blood essence stone quickly emitted a slight milky white halo. With a slight light sound, the magic array quickly amplified, and finally enveloped Marven's whole body.

After the incantation was chanted, the light of the magic circle gradually dimmed, and after a while, Marven got up and put away the blood essence stone, and at this moment there was no trace of half a point of fighting qi fluctuation in his body.

It turned out that after these days of research, he finally understood the most inconspicuous sealing circle on the blood essence stone, and used it to seal all his fighting qi in his body, so that not to mention James, even Hypatia couldn't see through his strength in front of him, although his martial arts cultivation was not much higher than that of Mance, but in the face of an opponent who couldn't see the depth at all, the psychology of this vanguard officer had already collapsed, which gave Marven the opportunity to use spiritual magic.

This seal circle can be unlocked at any time, which is quite convenient, relying on it, Marven can hide from any opponent, completely hide his strength, and at the same time can give the opponent a fatal blow at a critical moment.

After coming out of the command post, Marven leisurely strolled through the streets of Dart Town, where the war had ravaged the once beautiful town, filled with smoke and charred ruins, the heavy infantry of the Pioneer Battalion patrolled the streets from time to time, and the residents of Dart Town stayed away, watching these foreign invaders with a wary expression.

Marven couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and his face became solemn, although the battle of Dart Town was over, it was not easy to completely quell the turmoil in the Iliad Kingdom.
