Act XVI No war
"What the hell are you trying to do!"
The Archbishop of the Diocese of Rislanka, Benin Berenza, questioned angrily. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Opposite him, the dark elf in a black robe with half of his face leaking out of his face said nonchalantly, "This is the inside message of our Dark Council, please sorry I can't reveal it to you!
The Archbishop of Benin gritted his teeth and raised the silver cup in his hand and smashed it on the top of the opponent's head.
Suddenly, dark red blood flowed down the dark elf's forehead.
And this alone is not enough to quell the anger of the Archbishop of Benin.
The next moment, Benin lifted a chair in front of his old and weak body, smashed it on the other party's stomach, and overturned it directly. Then, he continued to smash down his chair again and again, and roared angrily, "Bastard, who do you think it took to get you rat-like garbage to exist to this day!Why!Why didn't you keep your promise to turn me into a NightClan!Answer me!You monster!?????? bastard"
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, the chair suddenly shattered.
Benin was subconsciously stunned, and in the originally empty secret meeting room, a girl with sea blue hair appeared at some point, and he was holding a magic wand in his hand.
"Humans must stop in moderation, otherwise they may be killed at any time and then dismembered. β
The girl said creepy words in an innocent tone.
Immediately after, the door of the conference room was knocked down, and countless eyes emitting bloodthirsty red light immediately came into view!
The Archbishop of Benin was immediately overwhelmed by an emotion called fear, and then he let out a terrible scream: "Hundreds, thousands, what the hell are you trying to do with so many Night Clans!"
......
"It was like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, and it made people shudder. β
The smile that slightly twisted the muscles at the corners of the mouth, making people sweat coldly. β
He said in a tone like a god of death harvesting souls in hell. 'For the infinite taste of war, of course'!"
In the diocese of Rislanca, Bishop Lando, the most trusted subordinate of the Archbishop of Benin, answered Miranda's question in trepidation.
Miranda, who didn't have to check the information in her hand, continued to ask: "Then the six thousand years of comprehensive support of the Diocese of RisLanka is because you have betrayed your faith and are cowardly afraid?"
"You...... You're slandering! They ...... They have warrants from successive popes......! We are forced!" Bishop Lando trembled and argued at the moment when he felt that something was wrong.
However, Miranda still looked like she was in apathy, and said, "So they started to act, creating the Night Clan, organizing the Night Clan, training the Night Clan, and finally completing an army composed of the Night Clan. β
As she spoke, Miranda finally raised her head for the first time, showed a bright smile, and said, "And all this comes from the comprehensive assistance of the Diocese of Rislanka, whether it is funds, equipment, or even test subjects, specimens, etc. Moreover, you only cooperate when you know the identity and purpose of the other person. β
With Miranda's words, her smile became brighter: "So you say that they have the warrants of the successive popes? are you forced? Ridiculous, you want to become immortal Nightclan, right?"
At last, Bishop Lando broke down, and like a child who had been robbed of candy, he held his head and threw himself on the table, crying incoherently: "It's not just me! It's not just me! I knew it then! I was deceived! I was deceived! Please don't kill me! Please forgive my sins! Woo woo woo ......"
Miranda continued to keep the smile alive, cutting off the other party's last hope: "I am not interested in what you say, but I know and understand that you definitely do not have the warrant of His Majesty the Pope in your hands, and someone has to be responsible for this matter, right? But rest assured, you will not be alone on the road to hell. Amen!"
......
"Hey, do you think I'm an idiot!"
Mike excitedly pointed to his face, slightly distorted by anger, but still full of a different kind of charm.
But Sticker didn't even look at her, and continued to walk in the direction of the royal capital.
"For the sake of your damn coffin, you really plan to re-enter the royal capital plastered with our wanted notices?"
Mike roared frantically.
However, Stitch continued to go his own way.
"Ahh
Scolding, Mike caught up with Stitch.
But at that moment, a roar suddenly came from the forest opposite them.
"Sticky!"
Mack clenched his weapon and looked in that direction. I saw a tall and muscular figure holding a pair of sterling silver javelins standing in the forest not far away, glaring angrily.
"Hmph...... Hum Hum Laugh lowly, Stitch gathered a row of black spears without hesitation and said in a loud voice: "Andre!"
The next moment, the javelin and spear shot out at the same time, colliding in mid-air.
"Smack!"
With two crisp sounds, the javelin and spear fell apart at the same time. And Stitch and Andre rushed in front of each other almost at the same time in the scattered light, and began a hand-to-hand combat to the flesh!
Until the bridge of the nose was shattered, the teeth were knocked out, and the two hit each other on the lower abdomen at the same time. It also withstood a violent impact and flew upside down.
"Hmph...... "Sticker chuckled, "Finally can't take it anymore...... Andrey!"
"Stitch!" Andre roared, pulling out a sterling silver javelin out of nowhere, and overdrawing it towards Stitch.
However, although the death was fierce, there was no order to speak of, and Sticky dodged the blow with only a slight tilt of his head.
It was only then that Mike, who was on the side, reacted, and noticed that there seemed to be something hanging from the javelin.
"This is the **** order that the Inquisition got from the Queen, and you are now innocent. Take back your territory, your army, and ride back to St. Wald on the bright Pegasus I left you!
Andrei said, turning and speeding away.
"Hmph......" Stitch laughed, and for the first time since he came out, he took the initiative to say to Mike, "Go get my coffin back." β
"How obsessed you bastard is with the coffin!"
Mike went crazy again.
?......
St. Wald, Radiant Council.
But this time it was different, whether it was the Nine Lords, Hagrid, or Miranda, who had been specially approved to participate in the meeting, they were all just standing on the edge of their chairs. There was only one person sitting at the huge conference table.
An old and frail figure, but no one dared to be disrespectful, except for ......
"Hum ......"
Sticky chuckled and pushed open the door to the conference room.
"Teacher, you're back!" said Wooger, who was accompanying Hagrid.
Hagrid pointed to his head and motioned for Stitch to take off his helmet. "Sticky, be polite in front of the Queen. β
And Sticker did not object, and directly took off his helmet, revealing his peerless face.
"Huh?"
After seeing Stick's face for the first time, Mike suddenly felt a sense of frustration that he had never experienced before.
"Bastard, why don't you become a prostitute with this face!"
Mike cursed inwardly with mixed feelings.
And after taking off his helmet, Stitch walked straight to the queen as if no one was around.
"Stop, don't go any further!"
The Queen's personal guards immediately raised their weapons to protect the Queen.
"Hum ......"
Stitch chuckled lowly, and the guards flew into the air as if they had been knocked down by an invisible hand.
Just as the other guards were about to rush forward, the queen stopped them.
"Don't stand in the way of Earl Stitch. β
And Stitch walked straight up to the queen and got down on one knee, his right hand resting lightly on his heart.
This move stunned almost everyone - the guardian knight salute.
In the royal family of Serodil there is such a custom, after the birth of the first heir, the king will choose the most trusted and powerful nobleman for the child as a guardian knight, accompany the child's growth, and teach the child at the same time. It can be said that the guardian knight is half a teacher and half a father to this child.
"Uncle Stitch, it's been almost fifty years, and you're still so young and handsome. β
The Queen's old voice confirmed everyone's suspicions.
And Sticky laughed and said, "Hmph...... Your Majesty, you are still a little girl in my eyes, no, you are truly beautiful now, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night. β
The queen curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Report everything you have learned from this mission, Count Stitch." β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
With that, Stitch stood up and turned to the crowd to speak.
"Six thousand years ago, a brutal human count made a pact with a demon from the depths of hell, sucked the blood of his wife and son, and betrayed the faith of the goddess of light. So, he ?????? No, it became the first Night Clan on the continent of Igura. Of course, you may or may not know that the Count is in fact me, Stitch Valajia. β
As soon as these words came out, the people present who didn't know the reason suddenly changed color, including Wooger and Mike.
However, as if telling a boring story, Stik himself continued: "Then, in order to fight against the enemies around me and the Crusader led by the Knights Templar launched by the Temple of Light, I transformed my soldiers and my people into the Night Clan to fight. β
"Although I was defeated in the end, in the early days of the war, I won a victory that shocked the continent with this undead army. As a result, many stupid, greedy, or persistent beings followed in my footsteps and participated in the battle against the Temple of Light. β
"The Dark Council is one of them, but the difference is that, compared to most rabbles of the time, they have an indestructible conviction and a crazy will to fight. Even, just by virtue of this, he forced the Goddess of Light to keep the existence of the Temple of Light at the cost of falling as a human being. Even I didn't do that. β
But, as it turned out, it was just the afterglow of the setting sun. β
"With the advent of the legend of the elf who most people, including me, thought he was dead, the whole war was turned around. Rasiel St. Tyrande, the founder of the Temple of Light, the first Captain of the Knights Templar, and the first Paladin of Light in the history of the Continent of Igura, almost single-handedly defeated my undead army, as well as myself. β
"And, he's a funny guy. After defeating me, he did not kill me, but imprisoned me and made a bet with me that if one of the Knights of Light was willing to release me, I would be freed, but before that I would serve the Templars for 6,666 years as the second of the Twelve Paladins of the Templar Order. β
"I agreed, and Rasil St. Tyrande released me on the spot. β
"So, my first mission was to cooperate with the new Third Seat of Punishment Paladin, Colt St. Gert, to annihilate the Dark Council. β
So the delusional ones were slaughtered like pigs in their wailing. β
At this point, Stitch paused for a moment, let out a sinister smile, and then continued, "However, in fact, the Speaker of the Dark Council, the Grand Mage Walker Areth, chose a successor after his death, the Dark Elf Isstanley Nightsong. This dark elf not only inherited the power of the Dark Council and became the representative speaker of the Dark Council, but also survived for 6,000 years with the support of the Papal Palace. β
When Stitch said this, Miranda coughed lightly twice and spoke: "Regarding this matter, the Papal Palace has taken responsibility, and the mastermind of the whole matter, all the clergy of the diocese of Rislanka, have been hunted down by the Inquisition and then executed by His Majesty the Pope. β
However, Stitch didn't seem to care, and just continued: "And the power that has been accumulated for six thousand years has given Stanley a new ideaβthe will of the millennium. Inheriting the will of the Dark Council to rebel six thousand years ago, complete the unfinished business. So, they adopted a new strategy of warfare - to create the Night Clan, train the Night Clan, arm the Night Clan, just like me at the beginning, and formed an immortal army. Isstanley, on the other hand, is even more ambitious than Walker Yarez. The latter only wants to gain the right to freedom of belief, while the former wants to become the new religious ruler of the continent of Igura. β
"That's all I learned from the blood and souls of my enemies during my mission. β
"But is this really accurate?"
Suddenly, a teenager appeared at the conference table in the conference room at some point, smiling playfully at Stitch.
Suddenly, almost everyone raised their weapons and pointed them at the teenager.
The young man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please wait a minute, my name is Thumeding Lanchester, I am an envoy, and I have no will to fight." β
"Colt. β
Hagrid suddenly opened his mouth to look at Colt, and Colt understood, "Lord Hagrid, I have not received any reports that the garrison has been breached. β
"I've always gotten wherever I want, no matter how heavily guarded. The boy said, placing a communication crystal on the table.
And Wu Ge, who had already raised his weapon, couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is it really just a child? Such a child is also a member of the Dark Council?"
The boy smiled brightly at Wooger and said, "One of the members of the Dark Council, to be exact. β
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the lieutenant decision-maker at the conference table and said, "I have come this time to convey the wishes of the Acting Speaker, Lord Isstanley. β
As he spoke, he operated on the communication magic crystal.
Suddenly, in the azure light that bloomed from the magic crystal, a sound and an impact appeared.
"Huh, it's already started?"
In the video, a voice wrapped in a black robe said with a slight surprise.
However, the screams and cries for help attracted everyone's attention even more.
And then, I don't know if it was an unintentional mistake or a deliberate provocation, I changed my face, and a hellish scene appeared in front of everyone.
The gnawed and tattered bodies were piled up, and these corpses, without exception, were all clergy!
"Really, Lord Deputy, are you eating anything good with someone on my back?" said Thuredin, with some dissatisfaction.
Over there, Isstanley smiled and said, "Ha, it's just that the declining and decaying Archbishop of Risranka and his subordinates are not a good thing to eat, and they haven't officially started yet." As he spoke, he turned sideways and leaked out of the high-ranking clergy such as the Archbishop of Benin who was tied up and fell to the ceiling.
Such words and such a scene made almost everyone present stunned.
Except for Stitch.
He smiled mockingly at Stanley in the picture and said with a low smile, "Hmph...... Long time no see, Stanley. β
And Isstanley laughed, "yes, it's been six thousand years, Stick." β
And at this time, it was Hagrid who reacted first.
"Isstanley, what's the point of your Dark Council continuing this stupidity, or rather, what is your purpose?"
Faced with Hagrid's questioning, Stanley was suddenly surprised and said, "Oh! It turns out that the head of the Templar Order, the current chief paladin of light, Hagrid, Saint Brooke, is very honored. β
"Say your purpose!" Hagrid sobbed.
"Purpose?" said Stanley, reaching out and tapping his temple lightly, repeating "Purpose?"
"yes, what is my purpose? Stanley smiled, suddenly spread his hand, and said very viciously: "Cute little one, we don't have any purpose. Not for revenge, not for domination, in fact, there are madmen in this world who only enjoy the process, regardless of the end - I am like that. β
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and suddenly he couldn't count the Night Clan who pounced on him, tore Benin and the others alive, and then used their blood and internal organs to draw a symbol of the Dark Council on the wall - the Reverse Cross!
"Acting Lord, this is a bit excessive. β
Shureddin said this, but the smile on his face proved that he was only saying it out of diplomatic courtesy.
"Maniac!"
Miranda, on the side, couldn't help but vomit, and after vomiting, she commented angrily.
And Isstanley laughed and said, "Crazy? Yes, and this madness was built with the support of the Temple of Light, the Papal Palace! Moreover, don't you think you said it too late? It's almost a full 6,000 years late? Or do you need me to remind you that your enemy is the Dark Council that has cornered the gods for 6,000 years, and has plunged the entire continent of Igura into war? Or are we not the only ones who are really crazy? But all of you here, and even further, your faith, your queen, your gods?"
"But it's okay, you can stop me, you who think you are sound and san. It's just that, for me, the real enemy is neither the Kingdom of Cerrodil nor the Temple of Light, but the monster standing there and looking happy!"
"Uh-huh...... Hahaha...... Huh-huh...... Hahaha!
For the first time, Wooder saw Stitch laughing so heartily.
"Provocation? no! Beautiful declaration of war! perfect declaration of war!" said Sticker with a smile, and said excitedly, "It's okay, it's like six thousand years ago, let's destroy you again!"
"Hehehe, just come on, no matter how many times we are eliminated, we will appear again in the near future. β
As soon as Stanley's words fell, Hagrid said directly with a gloomy face: "Stick, Wood, slaughter this crumb." β
Suddenly, Sdick gathered his spear and smashed the boy's head. Woog also drew his greatsword and smashed the communication crystal to pieces.
However, the next moment something amazing happened.
The boy disappeared as he had come, and he didn't know when.
There were no bodies, no blood, as if nothing had ever happened.
At this time, if there is one person who can keep calm, I am afraid that it is Her Majesty who is sitting at the end of the conference table.
"Brooke, Earl Stitch. The queen said, motioning for the guard to hand over a pure gold gift box. Immediately, he opened the gift box, took out a document with the Holy Cross coat of arms from inside, unfolded it to everyone, and said, "This is a written proof of the privilege given to the royal family of Cyrodil by the first bright paladin of the Templar Order, Lord Lasil St. Tyrande, and as evidence, the royal family has the right to issue direct orders to the Templar Order within the scope permitted by this document. Now, on this basis, I issue an order in my capacity as Queen Cerrodil - be sure to defeat the Dark Council once and for all. β
......
"It's unkind to attack the envoys, but because of that, I'm looking forward to meeting them on the battlefield more and more. As he spoke, Isstanley stood up, waved his hand directly and ordered: "In this case, there is no need to start a war, and the first target of attack, the enemy's base camp - St. Wald!"
"Long live! Long live the Acting Speaker!"
The sound of the mountains roaring like a tsunami is an undead army of thousands of impatient Night Clans??????
