Chapter 54: The Death of the City Lord
It was dark in the City Lord's Mansion, and Anthony took the lead and walked briskly ahead, and if you listened carefully, you would notice a slow footstep following behind Anthony. But Anthony, who was familiar with the castle, couldn't find an exit at this time.
Turning a corner, Anthony walked into a hall, this hall he was extremely familiar with, he had just held it here a few days ago, and now when he looked at it again, he could only see a few corpses lying in the hall, blood flowing down the floor tiles to his feet, and with a wry smile, Anthony turned helplessly to face the footsteps behind him.
"Labyrinth of light and darkness, I didn't expect the patriarch of the dignified Cathedral of Light to also engage in assassination. Anthony said with a bitter face.
"You may not know that I was the best judge in the court and later sat in the presiding judge's position, so it is not so unusual that the assassination was just done. Slow footsteps slowly approached the hall, and the faint light illuminated the figure of the person who came, and suddenly it was Patriarch Danny Burt, dressed in a white priest's robe, with slightly narrowed eyes and an old face, looking a little kind, but no one could have imagined that such an old man, for the sake of the cathedral, could come to the City Lord's Mansion alone to assassinate the city lord of the city with broken wings.
"It's time to finish Anthony, as I said, as long as I'm still here, the cathedral won't fall yet" The patriarch struck the scepter in his hand on the ground, and several lightsabers stabbed Anthony in an instant, and although Anthony struggled to resist, one still pierced his calf.
"Ah, damn it, damn it, how could I forget you, how could I forget you!" Anthony fell to the ground with a hideous face, he didn't regret what he did, he just regretted why he calculated everything but forgot that there was an old immortal in the cathedral, although it seems that he walks hard, no one will take him seriously, but how to say that people who have lived for more than a hundred years can not be ignored casually, blame Patriarch Danny Brown in recent decades. Bert had completely disappeared from the cathedral, and even the new priest might not have known of the existence of such a figure.
But when the cathedral was in trouble, he did not hesitate, raising the holy sword in his hand to defend the majesty of the cathedral, even if it was a return to the darkness he hated.
Blood splattered, Anthony Dao was also angry and unwilling in the end, obviously about to succeed, but because of an old man, his previous efforts were lost.
The patriarch looked up at the picture hanging on the wall of the hall and sighed, as if to say sorry old man, for the survival of the cathedral, the grace of saving his life is nothing, he knows that even if he dies, he may not be able to say sorry to his old man, after all, he is a believer in the light, and it is impossible to meet him when he returns to the arms of the Lord after death, and this sigh can be regarded as a farewell.
Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't go far, and a white light flashed through the City Lord's Mansion and exploded, causing both sides who were fighting fiercely in front of the Guangming Cathedral Square in the distance to be stunned.
"I didn't expect you to do your old job again. A priest stood on the street in front of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at the exploding City Lord's Mansion and said lightly.
"Your Excellency is still in the city and hasn't left? "The patriarch wanted to bow when he saw the young priest.
"Forget it, look at your current appearance, I'll help you up later, you don't know my situation, as long as the power of God is still there, I can't leave. The priest waved his hand casually when he saw the patriarch's appearance.
The patriarch did not bow when he heard the priest's words, but he did not continue what he said later, after all, it was not what he should have said.
"Okay, let's do what I need to do, I'll just see. The priest moved out of the way, still looking in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Your Excellency should be ready to leave. The patriarch said softly as he passed the priest, and continued in the direction of the cathedral.
The priest didn't reply, nor did he look back at the patriarch, but his gaze became deeper when he looked at the city lord's mansion.
"What's going on over there?" Christina led the Knights back to the cathedral gates, both sides on their guard, even though the fighting had ceased at this point.
"It's clear that the City Lord's Mansion has blown up. Mike also said with some confusion.
"I know, I mean how he blew up, why he blew up. Christina said anxiously, this is something that can change the situation of the battle, and she really wants to know what is going on.
Mike looked at Christina speechlessly, as if to say, "You're asking me?"
The same Hank's side was also anxious, how could such an accident occur, the city lord's mansion was guarded by A-level professionals recruited by the city lord in recent years, who could blow up the city lord's mansion so easily, of course, the most important thing is what happened to the city lord, if something happened to him, then what is the point of what the Broken Wings Legion is doing now.
Just when the two sides were about to send someone to check what had been released, a figure walked slowly from the street in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Christina narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in disbelief, "It seems to be the Patriarch." ”
"Yes, it's an adult. Mike also tried to confirm until he really saw the person clearly, "Christina, have you heard that the Patriarch was a judge in the Inquisition when he was young, and even sat in the position of presiding judge. ”
"You said the Patriarch blew up the City Lord's Mansion. Christina looked at Mike in shock.
"Is there anything else? Mike muttered quietly.
The patriarch walked calmly towards the cathedral, and at the outermost part of the square were the people of the Broken Wings Legion, but he had no intention of staying. When the Patriarch approached, the Broken Wings Legion silently moved out of the way, and even Hank didn't say much.
Christina and Mike were in a cold sweat watching it, for fear that the people of the Broken Wings would stop the patriarch.
"It's all gone. When the patriarch walked back to the steps of the cathedral, he looked back at the people in the square and said slowly, then beckoned to Sarah next to him, and Sarah hurriedly ran over to help him and walked towards the depths of the cathedral.
Christina and the others could even hear the patriarch asking Sarah, "How old is this, are you used to staying in the cathedral?" like a kind old grandfather.
Hank took a deep look at the patriarch's back with a cold face, and then led the people to run quickly in the direction of the city lord's mansion, and when they ran to the place, all they saw was a ruin.
"Dig me up, I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die!" Hank ordered indifferently, but the soldiers beside him could hear a tremor in his voice.
The efficiency of the Broken Wings Legion was very high, and it took less than half a day to dig into the location of the banquet hall.
"Your Excellency dug it. A soldier cautiously reported to Hank, who was sitting on a rock.
Hank took a deep breath and walked quickly to the ruins, although the city lord's mansion collapsed, but it did not hit Anthony, Hank could still see the unwillingness and anger on his face.
"Hehe, haha, hahaha......" Hank shook his head and laughed when he saw Anthony, as if he was laughing at something, and just laughed and turned away, no one has seen Hank since, some say he committed suicide, others say he went to other countries, but no one has seen him.
When the people of the legion saw their commander gone, they all stood there blankly not knowing what to do, and gradually some people left cautiously, and then more and more people left, and finally only a ruin remained.
