Chapter 231: I Swear If I Lie, Please Punish God...... Bang!
Just when Ye Chui finally blasted the pale orc to death, Quiles, forty kilometers away from the village, Efia's arrival caused some sensation.
In fact, in recent days, Quiles City has been under martial law, and the people of the city are panicked, and Ye Chui and his group went to the village to rescue under the leadership of the vegetable farmer three days ago, but now only Ephia came back alone, and immediately received the attention of countless people.
"There are thousands of orcs besieging that village now, and there are more than 10,000 surviving villagers in the village, we need to send troops to support immediately!" Ephia stood on a high platform at the east gate and shouted loudly below, "More than 10,000 lives there are waiting for our rescue!"
"More than a thousand orcs!?"
The citizens below exclaimed.
"Why are there so many? Didn't you say there were only a dozen?"
"More than a thousand orcs...... What if these orcs attack Quiles City?"
"She said that there are more than 10,000 villagers in the village waiting for rescue, so let's send someone over to help!"
"But...... If a thousand orcs were besieging the village, the village would have been destroyed by now, right?"
"Believe me, my companions are resisting the orcs, and they will be able to hold out for at least a while!" Efia heard the voices of the citizens below, and immediately shouted, she pulled out the long sword at her waist with a whoosh, and said loudly, "I am Ephia, the daughter of Eric, the lord of Stan, and I can swear by my father's honor, and now tens of thousands of villagers in that village are waiting for our support." If it's a little late, I don't know how many people will lose their lives!"
"This ......"
Everyone around looked at Ephia on the stage, and at this moment Ephia completely showed the heroic spirit of the daughter of the city lord. Many people are convinced that these citizens of Quiles may have some inexplicable sense of superiority. is also a little selfish, when the vegetable farmer came to ask for help, they also showed some indifference, but at this moment, knowing that there are more than 10,000 lives waiting for their support, as the most essential good nature of the human race, it still makes them instantly moved.
A swordsman in armor swished and pulled out the long sword at his waist: "That's right, we should go to help, that village is also within the jurisdiction of Quires." We can't watch their lives go unnoticed!"
"Go to the rescue, slay the orcs!" another swordsman shouted.
With their drive, the surrounding city-dwellers became more and more intense, and spontaneously prepared to go to the rescue, among which there were even many city lord guards, even some ordinary city-citizens were also stimulated.
A smile appeared on Ephia's face, but suddenly her expression changed, as the figure of Queens City's Church Bishop Anrith suddenly appeared next to her.
Bishop Anrith glanced at Ephia with a grim face, and with his appearance, the citizens who were in high spirits of war slowly quieted down. Looking at him, now that Andre is seriously injured in Quiles City, Angrith is the de facto ruler, if Quiles City wants to send troops to support the village. It wasn't enough to rely on them alone, it was a thousand half-orcs, and at least all the city lords needed to protect them.
The townsfolk looked at Angrith expectantly. Waiting for his judgment.
"Bishop Angris, please send troops to support the village!" said Ephia jumped off the platform. Said to Bishop Anrith in a deep voice.
"Now that Quiles City is on alert, how can you send troops to support casually?" said Anrith coldly. Eyes don't look at Ephia.
Three days ago, he used some small tricks, taking advantage of the kindness of Ye Trai and his group, and let them set off to rescue the village, fourteen half-orcs, with the performance of Ye Trai and his party in Stan City, there should be no way to hurt them or anything, what he wanted was just to teach Ye Trai a few people a lesson, but now he knows that the half-orcs who attacked the village were not fourteen at all, but thousands!
This is simply the best opportunity, as long as he insists on not sending troops, Ye Chui and his party will definitely be killed by this group of orcs, he has done a great thing for the church, Cardinal Osfrey is happy, maybe he will reward him something......
So he must stop Quiles from sending troops!
Ephia hurriedly said to Anrith: "Orcs will not rashly attack the big city of humans, now the lives of tens of thousands of villagers in that village are in danger, Quiles City can be there in just an hour, Bishop Anrith, that is tens of thousands of lives!"
The weight of these 10,000 lives was obviously very heavy, and some of the people of the city immediately stood up and said to Angris, "Lord Bishop, please give the order to send troops to support!"
"Yes, Bishop Angris, please send troops!"
"We should rescue the villagers of that village!"
......
Bishop Anrith's face was extremely cold: "The glory of the seven gods shines on the world, every decision I make comes from the will of the seven gods, at this moment I have sensed the will of the seven gods, he told me that we should wait in the city of Quilles!"
Hearing that the bishop had moved out the name of the Seven Gods, the city's citizens were silent one after another, and the influence of the church was still great after all.
"And!" Anrith suddenly looked at Ephia, "You said that there are thousands of orcs besieging the village, how can you stop it for a moment? those orcs can slaughter the entire village in less than a few minutes, and I suspect that you came to ask for help, maybe you were instructed by the orcs to lead us to be wiped out by the orcs!"
Bishop Anrith's words immediately made the people of the city hesitate, and some people had already suspected that if there were thousands of orcs besieging them, how could they support them to rescue them with just Ye Chui and his party? Maybe this was a trap!
Ephia's face was anxious, and she was about to say something when she looked at the suspicious citygoers around her, but at this moment, Doth's voice suddenly came from afar: "The 10,000 villagers in that village have all been slaughtered, and now countless orcs are waiting for us to be caught, I can testify to this!"
With these words. Doth and Agoura hurried over to Bishop Anris, and Doth continued, "Three days ago, my companions and I learned about the orc siege of the village. I also wanted to go to the rescue, but I didn't expect to encounter an ambush by an orc. There were thousands of orcs, and there were enough of them to breach the city of Quiles, and my companions and I had to work hard to get out of there!"
Doth pointed his finger at Ephia: "As for this Miss Ephia, when we escaped, she and her accomplices had already been captured by the orcs, and now she is in Quells City to ask for rescue, I think she was instructed by the orcs!"
Her words immediately caused an uproar all around, was it really a trap for Ephia to come to ask for help?
Bishop Angris's eyes lit up, he had already heard Andre say something about the grievances between Doth and Leaf. At this moment, Doth's words were obviously also to prevent Quiles City from sending troops, and she was also going to put Ye Chui and his group to death, since the purpose was the same, then Bishop Anrith naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation, so he hurriedly stood beside Doth and Agoura, and even put one hand on Agoura's shoulder, and said loudly: "This Miss Doth and this Mr. Agoura are both nobles from the imperial capital, I believe they will not lie." It seems that this Miss Ephia is the bait that the orcs use to confuse us!"
The townsfolk immediately exchanged their heads, and the nobility was extremely noble to the townspeople of Quiles, and they ...... Probably not lying, right?
Suddenly, the eyes of these people looking at Efia became cold and angry. There were also people shouting about killing Ephia in the street.
The situation became very critical for Ephia for a while.
But in the face of this extremely bad situation, Ephia's expression was still calm, and even a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She glanced up slightly at the skyโit was a very clear night, but she didn't know when it would start. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky, as if a downpour was about to fall. And Ephia can feel some kind of signal in the dark...... It seems that the time has come.
"Please listen to me quietly!" Ephia shouted loudly, stopping the noise around her, and she then looked at Doth, Agoura, and Onrith, and continued, "I can swear to the Seven Gods that what I said is not half false, and that the Seven will bear witness to me, and if I tell a lie, please punish me, Mr. Agoura, Miss Doth, do you dare to swear to the Seven Gods that what you say is true?"
Swear to the Seven Gods?
Hearing these words of Ephia, Anrith couldn't help but sneer in his heart, in front of his bishop, he actually swore to the seven gods? The oath to the seven gods would indeed be fulfilled, but it must be witnessed by the bishop of the church - and if he, the bishop, did nothing, then this oath would be like empty words, this should be the truth that everyone knows, it seems that this Ephia is forced to have no brains, and she would think of such a bad idea!
So he smiled and asked Doth and Agoura, "Miss Doth and Mr. Agoura, then please swear to the Seven Gods that what you say is true." โ
Doth and Agoura exchanged a look, of course they knew that the oath required the bishop's testimony to be effective, and now that Bishop Anrith was clearly on their side, what was there to hesitate to take an oath?
So Duo Si immediately said with a sneer on his face, without thinking about it: "I swear to the Seven Gods, if I tell a lie, please punish the gods!"
Agoura followed and shouted, "I swear to the Seven Gods that if I tell a lie, I will punish the gods!"
And then......
Anrith was about to say something, when suddenly there was a "boom", and a huge thunder fell from the sky!
The thunder was as thick as a man's waist, it instantly lit up the entire sky, and before everyone could react to what was going on, it fell directly into the city of Quells, or rather, it fell on Agoura impartially, when the thunder came, Agoura stood with Doth and Angris, and Angrith even put an arm on Agoura's body in a friendly way, and from a distance, it was as if the thunder was directly bombarded by the three of them.
The loud bang was enough to startle everyone in the entire city of Quires.
This is the Divine Punishment
Three days ago on the night, that is, at this time, Agoura had sworn to Ye Chui that if Ye Chui did not die in three days, he would be killed by the thunder, and now Ye Chui is still alive and well, so the thunder caused by Agoura's death came, Ye Chui is the leader of the Shenma Sect, and has the "power of God" to witness the oath, although his "power of God" is far less than that of the Seven Gods, but there is no problem in bombarding Agoura.
When the thunder ended, the surrounding citizens were dumbfounded, there was only a piece of charcoal left where Agoura was standing, and a large crater was blasted out of the ground by the thunder, and the implicated Bishop Anrith and Doth were also not happy, among them, Bishop Anrith was blown off an arm, and the person became scorched, he was completely frightened, the whole person was like a stone and couldn't say a word, only stared blankly at the sky.
As for Duo Si, he was directly stunned with smoke all over his body, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Ye Trai asked Ephia to ask for help, and at the same time deliberately let Doth and Agoura goula, just to calculate that these two people would come to stop Quills City from sending troops, and the task that Ye Trai gave Ephia was to let her make Agula say an oath such as "If I lie, I will ask the seven gods to send down divine punishment if I lie", and then followed by [Divine Punishment], and blasted him into slag......
What will the citizens of the city think at this moment?
"Divine punishment has come...... It's true that the orcs are besieging the village!"
"Even if Bishop Anrith is injured by divine punishment, everything Miss Ephia says is true, and we in Quiles City should immediately send troops to support!"
"This is the will of the seven gods, we are going to save the 10,000 villagers in the village!"
After seeing the power of [Divine Punishment], the citizens of Quiles City no longer had any hesitation, and Bishop Angrith was completely frightened, he probably thought that the Seven Gods were angry at what he had done so they really sent down [Divine Punishment] to punish him, and naturally there was no obstacle to the dispatch of troops to Quiles City, a team of tens of thousands of people was assembled in ten minutes, and then under the leadership of Ephia, they marched towards the direction of the village.
"Master, your plan has succeeded!"
Along the way, Ephia was extremely excited and full of joy, the [Divine Punishment] came in time, not only killed Agoura, but even bombarded Anrith half to death, there was no better way to do it, her expression was extremely tenacious: "Master, please hold on, we are coming!" (To be continued.) )
