Chapter 650: Papal Race: Double Kill
"Ready..."Watching the march of the team entering the city below, several gray-robed people took out a crossbow and a glass bottle containing green liquid from their robes after admonishing each other, and the gray-robed man in the lead was also paying attention to the Saint who was getting closer and closer below. Archbishop Johnson said softly in the standard Central Continent dialect.
"Let's get moving!" Almost as the gray-robed man in the lead roared out his voice, and the cathar warriors and cathar knights on both sides of the street were awakened, the hand crossbow in the gray-robed man's hand also shot out armor-piercing crossbow arrows that could completely penetrate half a centimeter of steel armor at a short distance. Several of the Knights of the Cathar flanked by Johnson's side all fell from their horses.
"There are assassins!" The shouts of the Guardian Knights rang out, but the Grey-robed Men who had already prepared were one step ahead of them: when the Guardian Knights shouted out their words, the Grey-robed Men jumped off the roofs of their houses and smashed the glass bottles containing the green liquid in their hands to the floor, and the one who was the leader took out two daggers and flew towards the Saint from the sky. At the same time, Archbishop Johnson threw one of the daggers at St. Johnson. Archbishop Johnson.
"Johnson! Let's die together! "The man in the gray robe must have been an Assassin, and an Assassin who often used a dagger to throw and kill, otherwise the dagger he threw would not have been so accurately inserted directly into the Holy Saint. Johnson's left thigh made the Holy Light Sect Archbishop, who had just reacted, lose the ability to move before he could move his footsteps.
"Ahh In the midst of the screams, the gray-robed man who fell from the sky accurately slammed into the bloated Saint. On Archbishop Johnson's body, at the same time, the dagger in the gray-robed man's hand had been inserted into the chest of the Archbishop of the Holy Light Sect, but perhaps because the fat layer inside this guy's body was too thick, so the sharp dagger was inserted into the Archbishop of the Holy Light Sect. Johnson's chest. But it didn't seem to have killed him in a short time, and even gave the bishop a chance to resist, and knocked off the gray man's hood without reacting, revealing a face that had been tortured and lost people, and the only thing that can prove that this guy in front of him is still human is because he has a humanoid head, an eye and a mouth, as for this guy's other eye has been gouged out, and his nose is ......... Although he had two holes in his face, his nose was already integrated with his face.
"You're from the Inquisition!" The only people who dare to walk in the darkness after being tortured like this are the people of the Inquisition. And as the two most powerful saints in the Holy Light Sect except for the Pope. Archbishop Johnson, the elevated power who is completely aware of the Holy Light Sect system, can certainly judge the identity of this guy in an instant, but the saint. Although Archbishop Johnson instantly judged the identity of the gray-robed man who had assassinated him, he was unable to react, after all, the huge pain coming from his body could not make the pampered archbishop say anything. Now this saint. The only thing Archbishop Johnson expected was for the knights and cathars around him to react.
But this thing is destined to be impossible: remember the glass bottle containing the green liquid that the rest of the gray-robed men threw when they jumped down? Just after these fell directly from the 3-storey building, because they did not have the strength of the gray-robed man at the head, they fell and fell half dead or hung up by themselves. The green liquid in the broken glass bottle reacted chemically with sunlight as soon as it came into contact with the surrounding air.
Forthwith. A miserable green mist rose from the place where the glass bottles were broken. Although the speed of the spread of these fogs is not very slow, if the cathar knight rushes fast, he can still ride a war horse and rush in to see that the archbishop is still alive, and by the way, reveal the identities of those gray-robed people. The people in the circle of Archbishop Johnson's raid saw that the green weapons came into contact with the corpses of a cathar warrior and the gray-robed man, and the corpses, including the weapons and armor on his body, were emitting white smoke and turning into a puddle of green liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye under the scorching sun. No one dared to take a step forward.
At this time, in the miserable green mist, looking outside, the triary knights did not dare to rush in, and those miserable green weapons began to gradually approach themselves, and devoured those corpses and turned them into a miserable green liquid. Fallen to the ground of the saint. Bishop Johnson looked desperate, and the leading gray-robed man, who had also broken his legs in the process of falling, climbed to the top of the St. Johnson. When Johnson was beside him, he sneered and said: "In this case, even if the people in the Censorship Court have the ability to penetrate the sky, they will not be able to detect that we did this matter. Archbishop Paul, return to the embrace of the Light. ”
As he spoke, the leading gray-robed man used the dagger in his hand to smash the saint. Johnson's neck was cut, and it didn't take long for a miserable green mist to come from a scream that made everyone present shudder after hearing it, obviously no matter how cold-blooded people are, they can't stand it if they feel that their bodies and even bones are like being gnawed by thousands of ants every minute and every second.
Eventually, when the miserable green mist dissipated, the Knights and Warriors of the Cathars who had been evacuated also ran back, and cautiously walked towards the Holy Saint. Archbishop Johnson groped his way to the place where he fell, but to their disappointment, when they entered the area that had been surrounded by a miserable green mist, everything around them, whether it was armor, corpses, or the snow-white cloth on the ground, had been corroded clean, and even the walls of the surrounding houses and the stone bricks on the ground looked to have been eroded, otherwise the skin of these two would not be a few centimeters thinner now, And not only did there be white smoke on the surface, but there were also countless small black holes that fell widely.
"Go and report the situation here to the Censorship and the Council, it looks like these guys should only be targeting the Holy Authority. Archbishop Johnson's people. "Look at the saint who is protected by himself. Archbishop Johnson was killed in front of him, and the leader of the team of triage cathars who led the protection of the bishops and archpriests of the Holy Light Sect did not look better, but now is not the time to consider his own duties, you must know that today is the day of the papal election, and now it is the most important thing to spread the news here to the Cathedral of the Holy Light.
"In the is it saintly. What Archbishop Paul did, but why did I always think the situation would not be so simple? After sending a Knight-Cathar towards the Cathedral of Light, the Captain of the Knight-Cathar's face showed a hint of confusion, but at that moment, a loud noise was heard in the distance that woke the Knight's leader from his contemplation.
"That's ...... Not good! is holy. The street that Archbishop Paul used to enter the city! ”
After 10 minutes.............
"What a saint. Archbishop Paul and St. Paul. Archbishop Johnson was assassinated? "Originally, it was supposed to be a serious and holy Holy Light Cathedral, but now it has brought a layer of dark clouds, and the nuns and children who were chanting in the main hall have been sent home, and all the Holy Light Bishops and other affiliated system bosses who do not belong to the Holy Light Sect main system, but they hold no less power than the main body in the Holy Light Sect, have all fallen into a slight panic, and one of them is old, The white and red Holy Light Sect boss was now kneeling down in front of him to report the situation to the Guardian Knight, who roared in a gaffe tone, as for the identity of this old man, he was the director of the Holy Light Sect (the department that manages the miscellaneous affairs of the Holy Light Sect, including the papal election, is controlled by the Council).
"Yes, yes, Lord of the Council, according to the news that has come from below, the Holy . Archbishop Johnson was swallowed up by the green mist that flowed from the cracked glass bottle thrown by several assassins who jumped from the roof of the house. In the process of marching, Archbishop Paul was killed by several thugs who suddenly rushed out of the streets from both sides of the street and ignited the explosion caused by the black powder that was supposed to be of the dwarves. Archbishop Paul's body has been blown to pieces, it is impossible to put it together, and in addition to the two archbishops who were killed on the spot, several other bishops and more than a dozen knights and warriors of the apologists were also killed, in addition to the previous explosion, some Holy Light Cultists on both sides of the avenue were also affected. ”
"Bastard.......... say, have you gathered some information about these guys now?"
"No, Your Excellency the President of the Council, after all, the tricks used by these two groups of people are all ways to cut off the way back, and all the clues have been broken when the miserable green object disperses and the black powder explodes."
"Damn!" Although the president of the Council was angry at such a bad behavior on the day of the papal election, this president of the Council was not a person who would not be able to discern things, after all, the papal election was too important for the Holy Light Cult and the Holy Light Empire ruled by the Holy Light Cult.
"No! The campaign cannot be delayed! It seems that the only way to do this is to start a fallback plan now. The dean from the Council made up his mind after a few rings, and said to the Holy Light Sect Protector Knight who was kneeling on one knee: "Get up and inform everyone that the Plan B plan for the papal election will be carried out in two hours, and all the high-ranking members of the Holy Light Sect in the city must be present at that time!" ”
"Yes!" (To be continued......)
