Chapter 809: A Deal
The griffons fluttered their wings and flew through the sky, and a cold wind blew in them, causing the griffons and their riders to tremble under the fierce wind of death, and then suddenly wilted a lot. And at this moment when their spirits were weakened, the gargoyles that came out of the dark clouds screamed and pounced. The griffon's knight raised his spear and tried to block the attack, but his feeble movements didn't even scratch the gargoyle's skin. The death-infused soul storm weakened him, making his resistance as weak as a baby in the face of gargoyles. I saw that the gargoyle swept away the knight's spear with one claw, and then grabbed it and stabbed the knight and the mount under him to the core.
"That's not the way to go! We can't stop the damn undead, what the hell are the Templar Officers doing!! ”
General Cabal was furious as he watched the Gargoyles and Bone Griffons attack the Legion in a losing position, he had never liked the Templars in the first place, and he was even more upset that it was clearly causing trouble. Not only that, but the current situation is also not good. Although those demons still had to avoid its edge under the shroud of holy light, it did not mean that they could easily win. In fact, even those Hellfire's self-explosions before their death were enough to cause them heavy losses, and the Holy Kingdom of Seth was indeed strong. But in all powerful countries, the huge military power is basically used to maintain the national border. Although the city of Sacred White is the capital, the number of troops here is really limited. Of course, those who can be stationed here to surround the emperor are naturally the best elites in the army.
But how could the Hellfire self-detonation, which even high-level mages would be afraid of, could be resisted by the elite of the best?
But apart from a long-range turret like a mage, who else can be as unreliable as hellfire. Dead and just as disgusting in the middle of the fight?
As a result, the hellfires exploded one after another, and the elites were killed in one explosion after another, and the faces of the generals of the Holy Kingdom Seth became darker and darker. Until the Heavenly Griffin Legion was defeated again, their anger broke through the sky, and they almost wanted to envelop the entire Holy White City, even this group of soldiers who usually had a certain respect for the priesthood. Even the words "god stick" came out.
"It can't go on like this, do we have to tighten our defenses and abandon the outlying areas!"
General Cabal was in charge of the military deployment of the entire city of St. White, and he was also the commander of the Guards of the Seth King's City. But in the face of the current situation, General Cabal has nothing to do. The confrontation between the Templar Order and the Undead Legion directly split the entire Holy City in two, and the troops on the Templar side were okay, but the Holy City army shrouded in the necromantic storm never responded, and it seemed that it should have been killed-or even if it was not killed, it was almost the same as being killed.
And now it looks like the griffon army has been killed by nearly half of it. General Cabal is also angry in his heart, this unit is not his descendant, but his Third Griffin Legion was completely annihilated in the previous battle with Passus, and he can't even see a bird feather, and now these griffin knights are just substitutes for the Third Griffin Legion. Naturally, there is no way to compare with the ace army of the Holy Kingdom Seth.
Although General Cabal was well aware of this, he was furious.
"Damn it, give me the focus to defend the palace. Protect Your Majesty!! ”
He roared loudly, then looked around. But even Cabal was confident in front of his men. But this still couldn't hide the deep doubts in his heart. Logically speaking, something so big had happened in the Holy City, and it was absolutely impossible for the Supreme One to not move at all. In fact, Cabal was ready for the king's wrath. As the commander of the Guards of the Holy White City, he knew very well what the temperament of the Lord of the Holy Kingdom of Seth was. But now that the two sides have been fighting for so long, he still hasn't received news from the palace, which is really a bit strange. And the herald he sent to the palace did not respond. If it weren't for the fact that the war is tight right now. I'm afraid that General Cabal will want to go back to the royal city himself and see what that majesty is up to.
"General!! Checkmate!! ”
Perhaps casually, just as Cabal was complaining in his heart, a series of hurried shouts suddenly came from behind, and when he heard this call, General Cabal also turned slightly pale. Then he first gestured to the commanders beside him, signaling them to continue to defend the royal city according to his orders, and then turned around with a serious face, glaring at the herald herald who was running towards him.
"What's going on? Why are you only back now? What instructions does Your Majesty have? ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he ............"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Looking at the performance of the herald in front of him, Cabal couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that His Majesty had scolded the herald in a rage, but now when he looked closely, he found that the herald in front of him was not only pale, but also covered with blood all over his body, some of his own, but more of them were someone else's. But no matter where it came from, this made Cabal can't help but lift his heart, could it be that the palace has also been invaded? Is this impossible? You must know that the Seth Palace is not only protected by the Divine Guard, they also have a magical barrier to guard against attacks. In fact, as soon as the Hellfires attacked, the well-trained palace mages opened the magic barrier to resist the attacks of the Hellfires. And the hellfire that is raging inside the palace has long been killed, could it be that there are other monsters here?
Although he had already guessed a lot, the herald's answer surprised Cabal with his answer.
"Oh no, General, Your Majesty is crazy!!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Cabal was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears.
"What do you mean? Crazy? ”
"Yes, I reported to Your Majesty about the situation at the front, but Your Majesty suddenly became furious. It is said that all of this is the fault of the Templar Order, and that without the Templar Order, then the Holy White City would not have suffered this disaster. Then, he, he ordered the whole guard to go out and attack the Holy White Tower! ”
“……… Huh? ”
Hearing this, Cabal almost couldn't believe his ears, knowing that what His Majesty said earlier was quite normal, but the last divine turn really made him not know how to evaluate it. While it's true that the Templar is causing this trouble, why are you going to trouble the Templar now? Is it drinking too much or not waking up?
"And then?"
"Naturally, the ministers wanted to stop them, but His Majesty angrily accused them of betraying the country, betraying the royal family, and becoming lackeys of the Templar Order, so he wanted to execute those ministers who stood in his way for treason. Outcome......... As a result, those soldiers of the Guards really obeyed His Majesty's orders and attacked those ministers! ”
"What? You say they're all dead? ”
Hearing this, General Cabal was also taken aback, and he could not believe what he had heard with his ears anyway. Although His Majesty has indeed been tyrannical lately, the two sides have been at odds since he fell out with the Templar. So much so that His Majesty didn't even agree to a ceremonial appearance at this Holy Light Festival. But this is not the same thing as him killing people, and many of those ministers are his colleagues and friends!!
For a moment, Cabal even wanted to retreat at once to see what the hell that His Majesty was up to. But now he had to resist his impulses and continue to command at the front. This is not just to protect the royal city, but also to save themselves, if they don't resist with all their might, then it will only be a matter of time before they die under the butcher's knife of the undead.
But......... Why did His Majesty suddenly go berserk?
General Cabal was puzzled.
"So, humans are a very interesting being, my sweet brother."
Sitting at the table, looking at Bishop Herbert in front of him, the richly dressed lady leisurely picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of hot tea. Then she looked up at the old man in front of her.
"You see, patience, trust, none of that matters. For human beings, the most important thing is desire......... It's the same for demons. ”
As she spoke, the lady smiled coquettishly and picked up the slate in her hand and shook it at Bishop Herbert in front of her.
"You know what? My lovely brother, I have been lurking by his side for thirty-five years in order to subvert the Templar Order -- I have taken possession of his sister's body, and I have grown up with him since childhood, caring for him with meticulous care and love. He also regarded me as his closest person, and even broke through the last bottom line of human beings with his feelings with me. But even so, it was not my means that conquered him in the end, but the greed and hatred peculiar to human beings. ”
"I'm not interested in the process of you pretending to be tender to tease others, and your love of playing with the emptiness of fate is also your own problem, and it has nothing to do with me."
Jenn waved his hand, and instead of returning to his original form, he remained in Herbert's form.
"I just want to know, what do you want to do here?"
"It's simple."
The lady smiled at Jenn's inquiry, and then she placed the tablet of fate in her hand on the table, and then pushed it towards Jenn.
"I want to be able to make a deal with you."
Then the lady spoke.
And at this moment, a cold light flashed.
The long sword in Jenn's hand easily cut off the noblewoman's head, only to see that the delicate head fell to the ground like this, and the lifeless body also shook slightly, sprayed blood and fell to the ground, twitching and no longer reacting. Then, Jenn picked up the tablet of destiny on the table and placed it in his arms. Then he snorted and glanced dismissively at the headless female corpse on the ground.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in trading with dead people."
With that, Jenn turned and left the room. (To be continued.) )
