"What's going on?"

The fat man raised his head, looked at the front and suddenly became a little stupid, turning from the fork in the road is the sacrificial hall, but the sacrificial hall that is full of birds on weekdays, but at this moment it is full of people standing on the wide flat in front of the palace, the black pressure is a head, at least nearly a hundred people gather here, most of these people's expressions are very solemn, some are nervously looking at the closed door of the sacrificial hall, and some are walking back and forth with a depressed expression, a team of Mamunuk knights of the temple stand at the door of the main hall, so that the crowd will not directly impact the temple door,

"I'm sorry everyone, High Priest Ivan Brown is not feeling well, and I really can't meet you!" Two middle-aged priests wearing sacrificial temple robes were standing at the door of the main hall, sweating profusely explaining something to the crowd in front of the hall.

Judging from the clothes of these people, they are all low-level priests in the lower echelons of the temple and some Mamunouk knights, and the girl who met that night with a hostile attitude towards the empire is also among them, a long white dress, wrapped in a seductive and beautiful figure, a little less sassy but more of a young girl's youthful style, in the mountain wind blowing over the top of the mountain, there is more of a charming artistic conception,

"This is the holy place where the sacred ceremonies of the temple are held, not a place where your imperial dogs can set foot!" Seeing the fat man coming from the fork in the road, the girl's beautiful curved eyebrows immediately turned into sword eyebrows, blocking the fat man's way like a tigress, and her shout attracted the attention of many people outside the hall,

Soon several Mamunuk's knights, who were in charge of maintaining order, came from the temple gate,

"Ashley, what is going on here?" asked a knight of Mamunuk, about thirty years of age, who was of average appearance, dark-skinned, and looked a little old, but his eyes were bright and radiant. His gaze paused on the fat man's guard black armor,

"Lord Biashur, he ...... These imperial soldiers want to forcibly enter the sacrificial hall by force!" The girl's expression was nervous, a trace of panic flashed on her face, and she was a little helpless and wanted to plant it directly,

It's a pity that the captain of the Templar Mamunuk, who led the team, was not an ordinary person, and he didn't directly believe what she said, and his somewhat confused gaze turned to the fat man, in this kind of presbytery, the three high priests were all killed or injured. The temple is also in a stormy situation, any statement is an unpredictable mistake, as the captain of the guard of the sacrificial temple, he now needs to show a neutral attitude,

But the white thorn flower on the other party's chest still made the pupils of the captain Mamunuk shrink unconsciously,

Imperial Guards! Do you need to force your way into the sacrificial temple with such an identity? What are you kidding, according to the current situation, the Imperial side only needs a summons. I guess even High Priest Ivan Brown himself will have to come out immediately to greet him!" "Lord Biashim, they really want to break into the temple, I suspect they are with ......" Seeing the unmoved expression of the captain Mamunuk. The girl continued with a hesitant expression, "Okay, I'll investigate this matter myself!" The captain of Biasus waved his hand at her, interrupted her, and said unceremoniously, "Holy Maiden Ashley." I heard that the high priest has woken up, and if you don't want to be taken by others, it's better to go to the temple gate immediately!"

"The High Priest is awake!" the girl's eyes lit up at the hearing. I couldn't take care of the fat man anymore, and hurriedly ran to the door of the main hall, which looked like my butt was burned by fire,

Seeing the figure of such a saint running away in a hurry, the captain of the high-ranking temple named Biashu, Mamunuk, turned around, and unexpectedly bowed respectfully to the fat man, before saying, "I am the captain of the guard of the sacrificial hall, Biashu, I hope your Excellency will not mind too much about the words of the Holy Maiden Ashli just now,

"Your Excellency has also seen that, although she bears the title of a saint, she is actually a wayward child, this Ashley Saintess from the south, it is said that two of her brothers died in Normandy, so she has always been very disgusted with the Empire!

"Hehe, elephant and ant! What a vivid metaphor!" the fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, he felt that this temple Mamunouk named Biashu was a rather interesting fellow, and it seemed that in him, he could feel the vicissitudes of time and the precipitation of wisdom

As he said, as the master of an empire, does he need to deal with such a little woman, is there anything worth tangling with?

"Your Excellency smiled, it means that you don't mind! Today's scene is indeed a bit chaotic, I don't know what happened to the Imperial Guards coming to the priest's hall?"

"Tomorrow is the Holy Maiden Ceremony, I came to discuss some matters with High Priest Ivan Brown, but I didn't expect that there would be such a chaotic situation here" The fat man nodded at him and replied,

The situation in front of him really surprised him, and now he wanted to know what was going on here, could it be that the absent High Priest Ivan Brown had also suffered an accident? Thinking of the situation in his eyes, the fat man's heart couldn't help but be entangled, I heard that this Ivan Brown High Priest was generally outside, and rarely returned to the temple, and from Parschena's tone, the attitude of this Ivan Brown High Priest was more inclined to neutrality,

Such a wall-to-wall figure should not be deliberately designed by any of the parties in this vortex, unless...... Thinking of a possibility, the corners of the fat man's mouth showed a slight smile,

If that's the case, then the High Priest Ivan Brown is an interesting man

Sure enough, the self-proclaimed Guardian Mamunuk hesitated, glanced left and right, and saw many people around him looking this way, sighed strangely and said, "It's too chaotic here, let's go to a remote place."

The fat man nodded, and followed the temple protector Mamunuk to a more remote corner,

Because everyone was gathered in front of the temple gate, there was no one here, the fat man asked the guards to stop ten meters away, and the captain of Biasho stopped and said, "I believe Your Excellency also knows that there was another tragic explosion in the Denham Temple just now!" "Yes, that voice can be heard as long as it is in the Holy Mountain" "That's why! I heard that many of the high priests of the temple were injured in the explosion, and even the two high priests of the Presbyterian Church were also inside, and now the Elders' Church, the only one left is High Priest Ivan Brown"

"Does it have anything to do with this?" the fat man was stunned for a moment

Biasio's voice stopped, and he stroked his lips at the people at the entrance of the main hall with his mouth, and pouted his lips disdainfully, "Your Excellency saw these people, to tell the truth." If it weren't for this sudden explosion, when would they have had a sacrificial temple in their eyes?

On weekdays, these guys walk to our sacrificial hall, they all have a look of love and disdain, everyone knows that the sacrificial hall is the most useless in the elders' church, that is, there is only one chance to show their faces once a year, but now, they all want to stick their faces directly on the wall of the sacrificial hall, "You mean, they all came because of this explosion?" The fat man looked solemn. Confused asked, "So to speak" Biasher nodded, and said, "They are all supporters of the Holy Maiden of the three factions, the Empire has announced that the Holy Maiden will be selected from among the commoners, which makes the three families panic and rush to the doctor, they think that the only one who can still have an impact on tomorrow's ritual is the High Priest Ivan Brown, so this situation has occurred, and everyone has asked to see the High Priest." In order to avoid suspicion, the high priest also announced that he had been assassinated, and no one was to be seen! What an irony to say! Ten years, I have been with the high priest Ivan Brown for ten years. It was definitely the most beautiful of all!"

"It turns out that you are the captain of the guard of the High Priest Ivan Brown, and it is really disrespectful"

The fat man's eyes blinked, he didn't expect to meet the captain of the high priest's guard, no wonder. For a person like Ivan Brown, who is indifferent, it is not surprising that the captain next to him would behave so strangely, "Hehe, disrespect or something, just excuse it." Although I'm just a little pony Munuk, I've seen the true face of His Majesty the Falcon before!" Biashu, who was on the other side, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "It was indeed a surprise to be able to see His Majesty again today, and it can be regarded as a surprise, right?" The fat man was a little stunned, he rarely heard a trace of sincerity from this Mamunuk's words. When I first escorted High Priest Parschena to Mamunukli in the north, I was also one, but a small person like me can't get into His Majesty's eyes!" Biashua raised his head, looked at the golden outline at the top of the temple, straightened his body and said, "Actually, we Mamunuk also have northern and southern factions in the temple, and at the beginning, High Priest Parschena was bent on going north, hoping to use his influence to resolve factional disputes, and the southern faction was very dissatisfied with this, and the entire Council of Elders was almost completely opposed,

It was only when High Priest Ivan Brown, who came from the north, did not object, and secretly seconded several of our temple protectors, Mamunuk, that the trip to the north took place by High Priest Parschena!

"I see!" the fat man was stunned for a moment, and now he knew why those guards of Parschenna, Mamunuk, had a bad face when they saw him, "They say that the empire is deliberately destroying the temple! And the first step is to eliminate the holy woman!"

The fat man hesitated for a moment, the other party's words made him feel a strong murderous aura, and finally nodded heavily, "Yes, this is my decision, and it is also the decision of the Empire! No matter what the situation, it will not change again! As for destroying the Temple, it is really a joke!" "Why?" Biashu's face was as heavy as water

The fat man looked around with the attitude of dominating the world, and said, "You have also seen, the holy woman is no longer a holy woman, and the temple has deviated from the original doctrine and has become a tool for power and profit between forces, if I want to destroy the temple, there is no need to use so many means at all, just the temple has sympathy for the expeditionary force, it is enough to put the charge of rebellion on the head of the temple" The fat man said calmly. Under the crush of the army, the Temple is no stronger than those religions that have existed in history, and leaving the future of the Temple to the Salanders themselves is the best way to eliminate this power struggle! I am not afraid to tell you the truth, I will declare the Sky Cult the state religion of the empire tomorrow! Do you think I will still have an attempt to destroy the Temple?"

"The state religion of the empire!"

The confused Captain Mamunuk, with a shocked look of disbelief, gasped, it is undeniable that this Captain Biasho Mamunuk, who was still a little sneering just now,

At this moment, there was an aura of a sharp sword out of its sheath. Unbound by a helmet, the unkempt captain of Mamunuk, dressed in white armor with a wild and fierce lion pattern, and pale yellow hair draped over his shoulders like a wild lion,

He wore a cold ruby headdress on his forehead, and there was a scar on the right side of his face, and the person who looked like a centipede was worried, and the long sword in his hand, half-open and half-closed, showed a luster like snow at the hilt.

After a moment of silence, Biasher seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and said, "I hope what Your Majesty said today is true, and no matter what, I hope that the sacrifice of those twenty-three brothers is worth it!"

No one wants to see war come back to Salander, and if the centuries-old conflict between the North and the South can be resolved thanks to the commoner saints, His Majesty will be the benefactor of the entire Temple!

But if His Majesty is only telling me what he is saying, I am just an unruly temple protector Mamunuk. and will keep the Mamunuk's oath that I made to protect the temple with my lowly blood."

"Don't worry, tomorrow, you will know!" the fat man said in a deep voice, although the Sky Temple was decaying. There are still a few pillars among them, and there should be many people like Biashim.

"Bell, bell!" suddenly came from the inside of the sacrificial temple. Biashu looked up, his eyes shining with real horror

"What's wrong?" asked the fat man with a solemn expression, and he smelled a hint of danger in Biashur's unusual expression

"It's a sign that someone has broken into the temple!" Biashu said with a solemn expression. Then quickly ran to the position of the temple gate, the entrance of the main hall where the crowd was gathered just now, it was already a chaos at the moment, and the fat man saw people running around everywhere,

"Kill, kill!" In the chaotic shout, among these people, more than a dozen munuk-munuk-knights with masked faces were struggling to rush to the gate of the temple, and the two priests who had just stood at the door to explain had fallen in a pool of blood,

At the door of the main hall, more than a dozen of Biashu's subordinates were desperately defending the gate of the temple, swords and swords, blood continued to splash on the wall of the temple gate, like a little blooming plum blossom, the two sides collided strongly together, the other party was obviously prepared, not only heavy armor, but also in martial arts obviously stronger than these guards of the temple,

One of the sturdy and delicate figures, even more invincible, turned out to be a knight's shield in his hand as a weapon, a shield used so light as a feather, flexible as a god, ever-changing, like a beautiful arc of light running at high speed

"Bastard, it's actually the shield killing technique of the Southern Temple!" Biashu's face showed a ghost-like expression after seeing the arc of light that seemed to bloom, and explained to the fat man, "This is the most terrifying martial art of the Southern Temple, and the practitioners are mostly women who are born with soft bodies, using soft and toned postures, often from various tricky angles, making people careless, I always thought that this kind of martial art had been lost, but I didn't expect to see it today!"

The fat man saw that as Biasher said, the figure was obviously a woman, her posture was extremely soft, as if she was boneless, even if someone fought back, she would be blocked by the shield in her hand that was completely impossible to return.

And every blow of the arc's shield, there will be a subordinate of Biashu, covered in blood, falling down, in front of Biashu's men, either by the shield flying, just hit in the hard gear, or with a sharp shield to cut through the armor, throwing red blood,

Biashu's men were killed and retreated, and the masked Mamunuks followed the female Mamunuk, and rushed straight through the temple gates

"It seems that there is only a desperate battle today! I only hope that His Majesty can remember what he said today."

Biashu showed a wry smile to the fat man with a sad expression, the long sword in his hand was finally unsheathed, and in the blink of an eye, this high-ranking Mamunuk knight had already rushed into the position of the enemy at the temple gate,

After cutting down two people, she was also entangled by three Mamunuk, who were obviously of the same level, and could no longer take half a step forward, but the shielded woman in the first place had completely broken the defenses of the main hall, and the door of the sacrificial hall was open in front of her without hindrance

"Your Majesty, are we ......" A guard captain behind the fat man asked with a hesitant expression, everyone could hear the determination of this affectionate and righteous Mamunuk,

As a soldier, what is most important is this love of not fearing death for the sake of his companions, and this Mamunuk can not hesitate to directly risk questioning His Majesty the Falcon for the sake of twenty-three dead companions, this kind of courage has to be admired

"Brod!" The fat man looked at Biashu, who was in a bitter battle in the distance, his eyes flashed with inexplicable emotion, and he called out the name of the captain of the guard in a cold tone, and said sharply, "The martial arts of the temple Mamunuk are very good, since you have come to the Holy Mountain, why shouldn't you just return empty-handed! Go and practice, you can't ruin the reputation of my imperial guard!"

"Yes, my subordinates will never let His Majesty down!"

Several captains of the guards behind the fat man nodded excitedly, and the war knives were like a silver ribbon of light, bounced from the scabbard to their hands,

Several captains of the guards formed a simple sharp formation and slammed into the opponent's defenseless rear.

In the scattered crowd, several swords that suddenly rushed out like blood, and quickly slashed the three Mamunuks who were blocking Biashu to the ground

"Kill!" Several captains of the guards shot at the same time, and the situation of the other party immediately changed, although the number of people on both sides was about the same, but these black-armored warriors who suddenly appeared, the strong smell of blood, the indomitable momentum, and the fighting style of fighting with their lives, completely caught the knights of the Templar Mamunuk, who had never even been on the battlefield, off guard.

No one expected that there would be an Imperial Guard here, (to be continued.) )
