Chapter 194: Ten Years

>,!

In just one day, the western part of the continent has undergone earth-shaking changes, Roger has been sentenced to death, the city of Candin has fallen, the Funeral Cult has invaded, Adams is dead, every piece of news is enough to shake the continent, and the Holy See of Light is facing the greatest crisis in its history.

The prophet Fatima made mistakes one after another, Roger's puppeteer, Menders' funeral status, the Crusaders' private actions, and even the Knights, who had always been loyal, were out of control.

His means of making up for it all failed, the members of the Shadow Guard Brigade sent to assassinate Roger failed, the Knights did not return, and the Crusaders privately reasoned about the battlefield of Shane, the two cities of the Holy See were handed away, and Fatima was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but there was nothing to do for a while, and turmoil was inevitable.

Adams' death was undoubtedly a major blow to Srock, and his death was too sudden and unpredictable.

He is the soul of crape myrtle, the pillar of Slok, and when people come to the plain outside Candin and see the tree of life, they all mourn in silence and shed tears.

Srock spent three days mourning the great man, during which the crape myrtle was no longer functioning, Lilith was no longer able to teach, and Nan Yurou entered Canding alone despite the obstacles, and returned the next day in vain, she could not stop the funeral and could not bring Adams back from the dead.

Crape Myrtle was supported by Gray and Nan Yurou, and with it came Slock's defense work, everyone knew that the Great War was coming soon, and after the Burial Cult destroyed the city of Candin, it would stay for too long, as long as all the flame prisoners finished refining Slok would face their terrible attack.

In the afternoon, Husman arrived at Slok Gate with his guards and the ragged survivors of Candeen, many of whom refused to leave. But Srock wasn't incapable of accepting so many people. They need enough food to cope with the next big war. In the end, under Huesman's negotiations, two thousand men were left, and the remaining three thousand continued to march forward, their bodies extremely desolate.

Another day passed, the situation changed, and the Tully family issued a kill order, a bounty order and a skinning order to Roger, which was the first time that the Tully family issued three orders at the same time.

Kill order, get Roger's head promoted to the third level. A second-class medal of the Meritorious Family.

A reward order was offered, and the reward for capturing Roger alive was 500 catties of gold.

Skinning Order, recruiting a skinning expert, whether it is Roger alive or when his body is transported to Tully's house, this expert can play well.

But on the afternoon when the three orders of the Tully family were issued, the Groot family launched a surprise attack on the Tully family, and the spear king of the Groot family, Leist, led 500 light cavalry to raid the city of Wamu belonging to the Tully family, and beheaded 3,000 in just three hours.

The prophet Fatima immediately issued a document forbidding the Tullites to retaliate, but the Tullys sent Bloody Eye Garcia to launch a massive attack that night, and the troops were directed towards the Groot's Stormwind City.

However, Garcia was intercepted and killed by the god of war Oga in the middle of his march. After the defeat, he retreated thirty miles before he stabilized the march and raised his troops to fight again, and now the war between the Tully family and the Groot family had broken out.

No doubt. These two families have escaped from the control of the Holy See.

Fortunately, the Meyer family was not shaken by this, and on the day of the outbreak of the war between the Groot and Tully families, they announced that they would no longer give financial support to the two families, and the Chamber of Commerce under the control of the Meyer family would no longer have dealings with the two families.

At the same time, the head of the Meyer family decided to marry his youngest daughter, Fifi, to Zagu, the sister-in-law of the Bali family.

No one expected that the wealthiest Golden Deer family on the continent would suddenly marry the infamous Proboscis family, and by the time they learned the news, the Meyer family had already sent a guard team intending to "take back" Fifi. All the news reached the Valley of the Severed Head like the wind, to the ears of Roger and Jessos.

The Valley of the Severed Head is still eerie, but it's the safest place for Roger, it's been in the hands of Dr. Corvo after Nikolai killed the summoner, and now it's the world of Corvo and his stitching beasts.

Roger sat quietly on the steps at the door of Alice's hut, depressed by Lolita's death and the death of the principal.

Yes, Lolita is dead, he knew it from the beginning, but he just didn't want to accept it, and how hard it was for him to accept this fact?

Alice came back later than he did, and when she came back covered in blood and badly wounded, she was only stunned for a moment when she saw Roger and then went back to the house and closed the door.

She refused to allow Corvo to be healed, and not only that, but Roger saw her masochistically pouring wine on her wounds.

"Alice, no matter what happens, I can't lose you again, I can't lose anyone again", Roger forced open the door and saw Alice sitting on the bed with tears streaming down her face, blood staining the placket of her dress and staining the sheets red.

The first time Roger saw her cry, he thought she would never cry.

Stepping forward and snatching the wine from her hand, Roger said with red eyes: "Alice, I'm in pain, don't let me lose you again",

Alice turned her head and looked at him with drunken eyes, and fainted in his arms with a silent smile.

Roger picked up Alice and walked to Corvo's hospital, next to which there was an extra hut, not the shed where the stitching beast lived, but a beautiful white tiled house, but he had no time to pay attention to it at this point, and only glanced at it.

After treating Alice's wounds, Corvo found Roger, who was guarding the doorway and looking up at the sky, handed him an ice pack and lowered down to treat the wound on his shoulder.

"Alice's injury is very serious, your injury is not light, there are some things that you may not know yet, Nikolai once came to me before the trial, he wanted me to join forces with him, the Valley of the Guillotine can restrain the army that the Holy See is about to send, and he also asked me to save you",

"Everyone in the Funeral Sect has their own forces, although nominally Laswicken is the leader, but he can't completely suppress Nicholas and others, Menders wants you to die, and Nikolai wants to save you, this is the proof, I know you want revenge, but it's good for you, it's good for me, Funeral Sect is not the primary goal",

"Both the Crusaders and the Knights are our enemies, they are far stronger than us, I want you to think carefully in action",

Roger nodded, Kovo's words contained a lot of information, but he didn't have the heart to think about it right now.

Seeing him nod, Dr. Corvo was relieved, he did a good job of controlling his feelings.

"There is one thing Alice should not have told you, she has her reasons for doing things, I don't interfere, wait for her to tell you herself",

Roger nodded "yes".

"I suppose that although you sent your fiancée to my hospital for me to resuscitate, you should know she's dead, right?"

Roger was about to nod when he heard Corvo say, "But you don't know your fiancée, she's been dead for ten years, do you?"

Roger was shocked.

"What?",
