Chapter 234: The Death of the Holy Light (12) Helpless
For the next few days, General Faroua was nowhere to be seen, and the "five boys of the Lynch family" followed Marshal Lucas as a follower, accompanied by a Father Valentine. Originally, this qiē was full of a sense of disobedience, but Yang Hai estimated that most of the so-called "Lynch family" was fictionalized by the owner of the dream in the dream, so he really couldn't ask for more.
In this way, they began to mess around with Marshal Lucas.
Marshal Lucas is really busy right now, on the one hand, he has to worry about his friend Faroua. After Faroua became a civilian, he didn't seem to be as glamorous as he used to be, but in fact his influence has not decreased, and he can still do a lot of things. The disappearance of Faroua worries Lucas, who is afraid that his friend will lose his mind and do something irreparable. With Faroua's character, Lucas's worries must not be said to be a blind concern. He sent men looking for Faroua, but there was no movement.
On the other hand, the news from the frontline battlefield is not very optimistic. As Faroua said at a meeting of the military department, this is not a just war. If the warriors are not fighting to defend their homeland, they will not have any motivation to forge ahead.
As the unjust side, the first battle of the Lakhta Kingdom is very important, and there is no room for failure, otherwise they will probably not be able to move an inch on the enemy's soil, especially now that it is winter, the cold and ice and snow are very terrible enemies, although a long supply line has been established, but as long as it fails, it is almost certain that the supply of these supplies will be cut off, and it will be easy to fall into the embarrassing situation of not being able to advance or retreat.
Burdened with such psychological pressure, the army of the Lakhta Kingdom was naturally restrained and did not dare to act lightly, and they were stalemate with the enemy on the front line.
The Principality of Bauhinia is obviously also aware of its weakness, and it strictly guards the city and does not come out, attacking the city in such weather. It was a nightmare for the attacker, so Lakhta's army could only say that the Bauhinia Principality was surrounded, slowly consumed, and mentally pressurized, but they did not dare to attack forcibly at all.
The quagmire on the front line is definitely not good news for Lucas, even though Faroua has analyzed the possible difficulties before, but it is still a headache when this qiē really happens. Lucas couldn't help but think of Faroua's disdain for the king.
Perhaps this companion of his was right, Lothar III was too incompetent to lead the kingdom of Lakhta forward.
Lucas thought with some sadness: maybe when he attacks him in the future, for this reason. I can also be ruthless.
At this time, Lucas had no idea that the king was dead. Moretti's technique was beautiful, and although the king's expression was stiff, he was not a man who liked to laugh in the first place, and the guards did not notice anything wrong, especially when the king was as brutal as ever. They did not dare to look at their own king at all, and if the king was in a bad mood, they would regard such eye contact as a provocation, and the guards would like to see the sun tomorrow. No one wants to kill themselves. Maybe someone will find out in the future, but in any case, it hasn't been revealed yet.
However, this news was not hidden from Marshal Lucas in the end, and soon the Marshal of the Kingdom knew the truth-
When the scene changes again. Once again, they returned to the square where Severon had been executed.
The surrounding qiē are all strikingly similar, but this time the protagonist has changed, and it is no longer Severon who is executed, but another "heretic" who is hunted down. His clothes were unusually tattered. Hanging his head, he couldn't see his face, and the blood marks on his body were shocking. Apparently he had already been tortured once.
"The Light bless your soul in Heaven."
Hearing the word kingdom again, Kalkuluchia really wanted to complain. HAVING BEEN WITH POSEIDON FOR SO LONG, CAKULUCHIA IS ALSO HALF A HISTORIAN. At that time, it was believed that the soul of a person would enter heaven after death, but this was soon proven to be a lie, and the mystery of the Hell's Bell Tower was discovered, revealing the composition of the soul for the first time.
But now...... People still believe that the kingdom of heaven exists. The soul will not be destroyed, and when a person dies, he will gather in another capital and be reborn.
Kakuluchia stopped his desire to complain, if his teammates were ejected from the dream because of his gibberish...... This is a live broadcast, the big boss is a person with a head and a face, and this face can never be lost.
It seems that Father Valentine is a kind person, and he does not intend to toss in this scene battle, but let them be a bystander to witness what happened back then. Therefore, the five of them were also happy and relaxed, and they watched the play next to them.
In the dream, Father Valentine had changed into a black cloak, put on a funny clown mask, put on a hood, and followed Marshal Lucas. Marshal Lucas's personal soldiers separated them from the surrounding nobles, lest anyone accidentally hear something that should not be heard.
The king, still so majesticly dressed in fine clothes, sat at the top of the makeshift stands, while the people were still screaming and clamoring for the execution of heresies and troubles; The Prime Minister was still reading the verdict with a blank face, but Marshal Lucas noticed that something was wrong.
"It's kind of weird." Father Valentine frowned.
"It's kind of weird." At the same moment, Yang Hai said the same.
"What's wrong?" Marshal Lucas's expression was still a little dazed.
The two of them glanced at each other, Valentin nodded at Yang Hai, and said first: "Before this, the evil aura was on the king's body, but now the breath on the king's body is still there, but most of it has been transferred to the prime minister's body, isn't it a very strange thing?" In general, it is absolutely impossible for an evil spirit like this to possess two beings at the same time. The evil aura in the king has indeed diminished, but it is not absent; And the evil aura on the prime minister's body is even stronger...... The black ......"
"A black glow obscured his face." Yang Hai continued: "The light is dazzling and intense, I can't see his face clearly, I can only see the rolling black fog, his crazy eyes dotted on the black fog, it's really creepy." ”
"Yes, that's what I saw." Fr. Valentine said: "It really doesn't make sense. ”
Yang Hai had already guessed what was going on in his heart, and it seemed that the prime minister had already made a move. He must have killed the king. As for the current king...... It's just a golem. Because the undead creature of the blood and bone puppet must carry the soul mark of the master, there is still an evil aura on the body of this "king", but this breath comes from the prime minister, so the explanation is reasonable.
But he can't say it directly, otherwise he is ruining the dream.
"And there's one more thing that's weird too." Father Valentine whispered, "Look up to the sky. ”
Everyone looked at the sky at the same time, and they were suddenly surprised.
I don't know when there are already vultures hovering in the air, vultures, this scavenging creature is actually very afraid of people, and now so many people are gathered here. The vultures certainly did not dare to come down. But the vultures were not smart enough to judge that a hanging was taking place here, and that there were corpses for them to eat at once.
It doesn't make sense at all, vultures generally only swoop down and feast on a dead body when no one pays attention to it, waiting for a condemned prisoner to be executed? Just kidding, these vultures must have crossed over.
"If there are vultures, there is only one explanation." Marshal Lucas, who was born in Orion, said with great certainty: "Something is dead here." ”
"That's too much of a possibility, isn't it?" Visconti said heartlessly: "Rats, flies, mosquitoes, ......"
"I mean big animals." Marshal Lucas shook his head: "It must be the carcasses of large animals to attract these greedy fellows...... But there are no big dead animals here, right? ”
Father Valentine, next to him, rubbed his chin and his eyes flickered, clearly thinking of something.
"Not necessarily. Marshal. Valentine said softly, "It's not necessarily the big animals that die. ”
"Huh?" Marshal Lucas was stunned: "Then why ......?"
"There are dead people here." Valentine stared at the king tightly: "There is a person who has been dead for a long time, but people do not notice. He was resurrected by necromancy, and his body was controlled by the caster, and he obeyed his words. And it's very, very well disguised. No one noticed. ”
Lucas frowned, and followed the priest's gaze, and saw the king sitting on his head with no eyes and expressionless face.
A chill suddenly felt in his heart.
"The guess...... This speculation may be a bit ......," Lucas wanted to say ridiculous, but when it came to the end, he swallowed the sentence.
But this speculation is too bold. Marshal Lucas's heart was also pounding.
"Calm down, Marshal!" Yang Hai reminded: "No matter who is manipulating the king, calm down. At this time, if someone sees the clues. We're in trouble. ”
Marshal Lucas knew that what Yang Hai said was right, and immediately regained his normal expression.
Today's heresy trial is very smooth, not all heretics are as stubborn as Severon, the one caught today obviously did not suffer any flesh and skin, but only a few lashes, the prisoner could not bear the severe pain, and all confessed. After the execution, Marshal Lucas forcibly suppressed his agitation and returned to their secret mansion with the others.
"That guy from Faroua, where the hell is he!" Lucas said angrily: "He was not there when we needed him the most!" This wayward bastard! ”
"General Faroua is here, there is no better way, we are in big trouble, Lucas." Father Valentine said calmly, living up to Yang Hai's expectations, Father Valentine also thought about this qiē clearly on the way back, so he said directly to Lucas: "The person who killed the king is likely to be Prime Minister Moretti. What we had to deal with was a waste of guts, scheming, talent, and city, and although he had received the dark powers, it was not tricky; Moretti ...... That's a different story. ”
Lucas sighed, rubbed his aching head, and threw himself into the recliner. (To be continued......)
