Squeak......

The iron door was slowly pushed open a thin slit, and a guard observed the situation outside the door through the gap, the city of North Wind was in a sensitive period, and they had to be very careful.

"Lord Russell, Recently, His Majesty Hazuki issued a curfew, and now it has passed the time for the handover of the guards, according to the route and time of the patrol, I am afraid it is not a good idea to return the same way, there is a dark alley on the left side of the city wall in the east of the city, from that side, although it is farther away, it should be possible to avoid the patrol guards. ”

The guards who took the lead slowly pushed the iron door open, holding the long sword in their right hand to protect the black-robed man behind him, and the other two guards stood on both sides of the black-robed man, one left and one right, they did not relax their vigilance at all because of the silence outside the house, once the black-robed man's actions were discovered by the royal family, they would also be hanged, whether it was out of loyalty or self-preservation, they must ensure the safety of the black-robed man.

"Your Majesty, you really think that Hazuki is the king, to tell you the truth, since Hazuki inherited the throne, there is a shadow of the Old God Cult behind everything he does, in fact, the gray scorpion is right, Hessey This woman is really terrifying, I can be sure that the reason why Hazuki has become like this must be her means behind it, otherwise how can a prince who had no scheming and didn't understand anything not long ago be so calm and calm when his parents died? Don't tell me any nonsense about being hit and having a big change in personality, his personality may change, but the means and the city government he showed are definitely not explained by a big change in his personality. ”

Russell's face was gloomy and terrible, he took such a big risk to come here tonight, not to help the gray scorpion get out, and by the way to clear his suspicion, how do you know that the gray scorpion is so suspicious, it really annoys him, but even so he doesn't dare to really betray the gray scorpion, otherwise with Hessy's means, he may not be able to find out the bottom of himself, Ye Yue has been frantically purging the old party forces recently, as long as he has committed a crime, even if the crime is small, he will be killed to the end, at least he will be stripped of his title, shackled, or directly hanged, without exception below the duke, there are as many as thirteen nobles who have been executed today, including four counts, three viscounts, and six barons, and the number of prisons is too many to count.

The good name is that the law is unforgiving, and punishes sinners who dare to defy the code.

But who wouldn't know his intention in doing this? It was nothing more than a warning to those major families who had soldiers and horses in their hands and had fiefdoms in the main city outside to be honest, and who in this group of people close to the center of power dared to say that they had never committed any crimes?

The huge family and wings doomed them to not be able to say this, even if they could guarantee that they had not committed a crime, but what about their subordinates? What about their children? What about the people of the affiliated families? Who would be spared if they were really held accountable?

Judging from Ye Yue's attitude alone, if he really wants to investigate to the end, the major families will inevitably be involved in the whole body, but fortunately, Ye Yue knows how to be proportionate and did not force the old party elites too much, he chose to keep the cards in his hand and firmly hold the evidence of the crimes of the major families, so that he can firmly hold the initiative in his hands, the Imperial Council has become a formality, and now I am afraid that only Mu Bai is the only one who dares to admonish.

Russell is a marquis, has his own fief and army, and his power is all over the North Wind City, he has a very keen sense of political smell and a strong sense of crisis, if he is not forced to be helpless, he will never come to see the gray scorpion in person, half a month ago he wrote a letter to invite the gray scorpion to come, naturally not to talk about any cooperation, but to terminate the cooperation, by the way to clear the suspicion, otherwise he will be caught by the tail, and the end will never be as he said just a few years.

"Are you saying that although Hazuki has inherited the throne, the person who really controls the Northern Ye Kingdom is the Hercy Pope of the Old God Sect?" asked the guard cautiously.

"Perhaps, Hirsch...... Hersie...... I've been in the North Wind City for so many years, but I've never heard of this name, this woman stood next to Ye Yue as soon as she appeared, but you should also know what was the situation of the Old God Cult in the North Ye Country before Ye Yue succeeded to the throne, those so-called nuns even need to sell their bodies to make money to barely survive, why did a dying church let Ye Yue come forward to support it? and why did a character like Hersie appear? His Majesty Ye Bei spent an unknown number of years in order to suppress the Old God Cult, and when he was called the emperor, he was able to completely erase the divine power from the hearts of the people, he was the son of Ye Bei, the new emperor of the Northern Ye Kingdom, to be honest, I can't think of any reason for him to support the Old God Cult, even if he wanted to rely on the divine right and faith to help him stabilize the royal power, there was no need to choose the Old God Cult that was destroyed by Ye Bei's own hands, the influence of the Old God Cult in the Northern Ye Kingdom had long disappeared, and besides, the lessons of the struggle between the divine power and the royal power over the years were not enough......?

Before the words were finished, he was suddenly pushed away by the guard on the left, Russell didn't react for a while, staggered and fell to the ground, but before he could recover his strength, a naked ** man pounced on him with red eyes, exuding a disgusting smell, there was no humanity in his eyes, only the ** of food, he grabbed Russell's neck, lowered his head and bit his face.

"Protect your lordship!"

In a flash of cold light, the blood pillar rose to the sky, and the bloody head fell straight towards Russell, and the guards hurriedly dragged Russell up, protected him behind him, and swung his sword to resist these slaves who had lost their humanity, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, let's go!"

These slaves had no weapons, had never learned any spiritual ways, and were even bound by chains, but they were crazy enough to be afraid of death, even if the death of their kind was miserable, they would not be afraid of it, in fact, on the contrary, the growing smell of blood made them even more crazy, if it were not for the small iron gate restrictions, it would be difficult for only three people to resist the siege of such a large number of slaves at the same time.

The three of them protected Russell and fought and retreated, but they also saw that the goal of this group of 'beasts' did not seem to be limited to the four of them, and many of the 'beasts' who had just escaped from the iron gate scattered without even looking at them, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

"Is this damn gray scorpion crazy!?"

Russell watched in horror as those slaves who could no longer be called human disappeared in all directions, these inhumane, hungry 'beasts' once they rushed into the homes of civilians would be what the consequences would be, I am afraid it is not just as simple as attracting guards, maybe it will not be long before the royal family will send troops, such as the Iron Guards, to suppress them, and the most terrible thing is that the four of them have no way to get out in a short time.

"Eisen, you protect the Lord and go first, our palace is behind. ”

Eisen nodded, he split the 'beast' in front of him in half with a backhand sword, and was immediately doused with the stinking blood, but now he didn't have time to hesitate, and he didn't care about his status, he dragged Russell and ran towards the city wall.

There is no need to care about Russell's safety, the remaining two guards urge the spirit core with all their might, and the blades under the spiritual power are even sharper, these slaves are just ordinary people who have lost their minds in the end, and in front of the two desperate spirit warriors who are going all out, they will be killed even if they rush up.

The already gloomy street was full of stumps and severed arms, intestines, broken bones, and the head that had been cut in half before he had time to close his eyes, blood flowed like a stream on the dirty ground, the strong smell of blood made the stomachs of the two guards begin to churn, the movement of swinging the sword was slowing down, and the dodge began to seem a little difficult, and the physical and spiritual power was violently consumed, and they knew very well that they must evacuate immediately, otherwise if they continued like this, they would be completely torn apart in less than ten minutes.

"Why the hell isn't it over, what the is going on?"

Angus was already sweating on his forehead, he couldn't stop panting, but what came into his mouth was the smell of blood and stench, after all, he was just a guard, where had he killed so many people, and where had he seen so many dead people, his hands had been trembling since just now, and he couldn't stop.

"If you have time to talk nonsense and waste your energy, it's better to think about how to get out, if we continue like this, we will all die here! I can't figure it out, they obviously have no reason, why don't they eat themselves, they have to get along with us!?"

Yarlin was forced to the wall by more than 20 people, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted, and he could no longer swing his sword as neatly as he did at the beginning, and the hellish scene of Shura would have to be frightened to the point that others would be frightened, but the group of monsters in front of them didn't know what they were afraid of, they only had appetite in their eyes, and they just wanted to stuff all the living things they saw into their mouths, and even some people no longer cared about the two of them, but squatted down and began to eat those stumps and broken arms with relish.

"This kind of monster can be called a slave too!? Who the would dare to buy it?"

Angus didn't have time to help Arrin out of the siege now, he was already too busy to take care of himself at the moment, every dodge would leave him with many more wounds on his body, and the blood gradually penetrated his clothes, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of this group of 'beasts', but it didn't matter, he didn't want to die in this kind of hellish place, but the problem was that they were already blocked in this small street.

The stumps and the smell of blood all over the ground made those slaves who had already left go around and were drawn back again, and there was no way out, left and right, unless they could fly out directly, it would be a fool's dream to fight their way out.

"To be honest, I think we're both dead. ”

Yarlin once again came out of the encirclement, but his left hand and shoulder had been gnawed and unshaped, these 'beasts' were too ruthless, they always ripped off a whole piece of clothes and flesh, Yarlin's face was now pale and terrifying, pain, blood loss, physical strength and spiritual power were almost exhausted, even if he didn't want to die, but he really couldn't think of any other way to live in this situation.

He held his sword half-against the sticky wall, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly as he looked at the 'beast' that pounced on him like locusts.

He underestimated the number of slaves here, and underestimated their madness.
