Gaio Valense's voice echoed in the ears of everyone in the square over and over again, as if it were a pre-judgment proclamation—the sun was shining in the sky, but everyone shivered as if they were falling into an ice cave, looking at the approaching spear and the sword that emitted a cold light.

The air smelled of blood, the red blood that stained the holy fountain in the center of the square, the pool of water a dark red, the severed limbs and pools of blood, and the hellish scene played out in front of the Radiant Cross Chapel.

Gaio Valence hung his head and was silent as if in prayer—but only he knew that the Grand Master of the Knights of the Sacred Tree was waiting, waiting for someone to say the name he had been waiting for for long, long.

But there was still a dead silence in the square, no one dared to speak, and no one was willing to stand up - Gaio Valence, who had finally lost his patience, had a light in his eyes as if he was looking at a dead man, and slowly raised the long sword in his hand and swung it down fiercely!

The knights' sergeants pressed forward once again with the neat steps of the ——! smashed the holy stone slabs out of the bell of death—but this time their pace had quickened, their blood-stained spears and flesh-stained shields moving slowly like chariots, causing screams of terror in the crowd once again, and desperate screams echoed through the glorious Sanctuary like the last voice.

"Please wait, please wait, Lord Gaio Valens. It was all a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding ——!" in the midst of a scream. The Turin nobleman, dressed in a knight's attire, suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, raised his hand and shouted loudly, stood in front of the spear with a nervous expression, and looked in the direction of Gaio: "Please give me a chance to explain, in the name of the Radiant Cross!"

With a smile on his coffin-like face, Gaio beckoned to both sides, the sergeants moved out of the way, and the young Turin nobleman hurried over. Standing in front of the Grand Master in shock, he smiled flatteringly: "Salute to you, Your Excellency the Grand Master, I am ......"

"I don't need to know who you are, I don't need to bother to introduce you. Gaiyo didn't even have time to talk to him: "Say, if there is anything, speak as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, yes!" The young nobleman's face flashed with anger, but looking at the heavily armed sergeant behind him, he quickly nodded: "Please believe me, all this is just a misunderstanding, we are just a little dissatisfied with the law of His Highness Berrion - of course, it is also a thousand mistakes. But trust us definitely not on purpose!"

"It's all just a misunderstanding, we are all devout believers in the Radiant Cross. He is also a loyal subject of the kingdom, and will never rebel against the laws of the kingdom, and if you can, please give me such an opportunity to meet with Your Highness, and I will believe that everything can be explained clearly. ”

The young nobleman was still talking, but he didn't see the coldness that flashed in the corner of Gaio Valense's eyes, and muttered an explanation: 'All this is caused by the sudden famine in the East City, I believe that as long as ...... it's."

"Looks like you haven't figured it out yet, so let's keep everything simple. Gaio Valence interrupted him rudely: "Who instructed you to do this, and who is the mastermind?"

"This, this ......" The young nobleman was slightly stunned, and quickly replied with a smile: "There is absolutely nothing...... You must have misunderstood, there is no mastermind. ”

"Really?" Gaio Valence suddenly turned his face sideways and smiled fiercely, and suddenly waved his right hand: "Knights of the Sacred Tree, move forward——!"

The shouts of fear sounded in an instant, and the crowd, which had just managed to slow down, fell into terror and panic again, and the square was in chaos, and the knight sergeants marched forward on the corpses of the people in front of them, bleeding and dying with every step!

"Please stop, don't continue!" cried out the terrified young nobleman, but Gaio Valence did not even react, and stood there like a statue, no matter how loud he shouted: "Please stop, please, please!"

"For the sake of the Radiant Cross, please!" The terrible screams and wails were like the claws of the devil, constantly tormenting the hearts of the young nobles, crying and falling to their knees, but still unable to get the slightest reaction from Gaio Valens.

Finally, the tears turned to anger, and the pleading hands pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the young nobleman knelt on one knee, and the long sword in the sheath seemed to carry the power of his anger, and slashed through a silver light towards the Grand Master of the Knights, who stood there motionless, cold and ruthless!

"Ah——!!!!h He screamed miserably and collapsed to the ground clutching his wrist, his body convulsing unnaturally.

"Pop ——!" Gaiyo stepped on his chest, and the muffled sound of cracking ribs was completely covered by the screams around him, and he could only see the young nobleman's face sweating profusely, breathing rapidly and in pain, without even the slightest strength to resist.

"There are many ways to die, but self-determination is the most painful. Gaio Valence said coldly, "You are the one who leads the way, I guess there must be quite a few in the crowd, right?"

"You, don't you think!" The hideous young nobleman was still trembling violently, enduring the pain so much that the green tendons on his forehead were exposed: "We are all the most loyal people in the Spirit Kingdom, and we will never give in to you, a hillbilly from the East...... Ah——!h

"Very well, the noble nobles of Turin are being trampled under the feet of the hillbillies, and may die in a little while. Gaiyo pressed a little under his feet, and a few ribs broke again: "But do you think that in a little while, how many people will be alive in this square?"

"Tell me who the mastermind is, and I'll let you die a happy death, or else—I have a way for you to beg me to kill you. Gaiyo's expression was cold and hideous like never before: "Do you know what is the most painful thing before a person dies?"

"It's watching those who shouldn't have died, who should have been protected by themselves, who should have been able to live happily, who died miserably because of themselves, who were tortured not like a person, and you couldn't do anything about it. As he spoke, Grand Master of the Order drew his sword and pressed it against the young nobleman's neck: "It's just that they made the wrong choice and made them suffer what they shouldn't have suffered.

Death, wailing, screaming...... The Glorious Cross Chapel, which was supposed to be sacred and peaceful, has become a slaughterhouse full of fishy smells, shattered, bones separated, and flesh blurred...... The breath of death permeated everyone's bodies, and the cold, cold sharp knives pierced one chest after another.

The knight sergeants slaughtered frantically, the spears and broadswords in their hands did not stop for a moment, let alone hesitate, staining the ground under their feet inch by inch with red blood, trampling all the corpses.

"Listen to those screams, these are your sins, the curse of the Radiant Cross. "Gaiyo's voice is getting deeper and lower: 'It's because of your weakness, your so-called 'loyalty', that they have to end up like this, and it is because of you that they have to face such an end!'"

"Hollard, Horad, Hollard——!!!!" The young nobleman suddenly wailed and shouted: "It was the Marquis Holard Minest who instructed him, everything was him, he made the people of the Chamber of Commerce cut off the food supply, and let us organize manpower, saying that in this way we can rebel against Berion's rule, everything is done by him, stop it——!"

Gaio Valence was taken aback, then smiled with relief—the first time in a long, long time.

"Thank you very much, I'll do as promised—kill you all!" (To be continued.) )
