Lehman and his party rode through the streets of the Changge Fortress.

After the battle, the residents of the city hid in their homes, closed their doors, and there was no figure in the street, which seemed a little deserted.

"Sir Lehman, your hand is all right. "Shield," Knight Löven asked.

"It's not a big problem," Lehman Hoss shrugged, "at least he can move." But this action made his brow furrow.

Last night's battle to capture the gate went well, and there were only about twenty guards left behind to guard the east gate of the fortress, and they never expected the enemy to attack from the city.

Although the horn was sounded, it took at least a quarter of an hour for reinforcements to arrive, and fifteen mercenaries who had taken the pills rushed up to the city and killed the guards one by one, while Lehman led the knights to open the city gates. In the darkness, he did not notice that there was a side gate by the wall, and two guards were killed inside, one of whom pounced on him with a hammer.

In order to make it easier to turn the winch, his weapon was already tucked into his waist, and in a hurry, Lehman had to use his arm to resist, and almost at the same time, Löven on the other side handed out his long sword and stabbed it straight into the waist of the guard. Affected by this fatal blow, the hammer that fell lost most of its strength, but it still left a dent in his arm armor.

Lehman didn't feel much pain at the time, and after taking the city gate, he realized that it was difficult to lift his right arm, and when he untied his arm armor, he saw that his forearm was swollen like a rolling pin.

"Hopefully there are analgesic herbs in the church," Löven said, "and they often prepare weird things." ”

"Let's say, balls. Another knight, Dorne, came up and grinned.

The thirteen knights had lost two of them in the night attack, and one of them had been seriously wounded, and were now lying in the camp moaning, probably not surviving tonight. All in all, such a loss is acceptable, Lehman thought. Now that the militia forces have entered the city, the fortress is completely in their hands.

After a while, the group came to the door of the church, where a group of more than 100 militiamen was already on standby.

"Give them the pills," Lehman turned over and dismounted, and when he saw that everyone had taken the pills, he led the team up the stairs and walked towards the main hall.

"Stop," shouted the two gatekeepers, "the Holy Land, no weapons!"

Löven pulled out his weapon and handed it over with both hands, "Got it, this is for you, right?" Just as the believer reached out to take the long sword, he suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, and slammed it upward, and the opponent's two hands fell in response.

"Ahh

Although Löven's nickname is Strong, he rarely meets opponents with a fast sword.

Another believer was also cut by Dorne, and Lehman kicked open the door and walked into the hall with a blank face.

"Who are you?" a middle-aged man dressed in a white background and blue border priestly robe stepped forward, not afraid of the bloody blade, "dare to break into the church!

Lehman sneered, most of the townspeople were staying at home now, and there were only twenty or thirty believers in the church, and in the face of the battle-hardened knights, the resistance was a dead end.

Before he could give the order, Dorn had already drawn his sword with a strange smile and slashed down one of the worshippers who rushed up, and the others soon joined the fight, and the church was in chaos. Seeing that the situation was not good, the priest shouted, "Children, take the holy medicine and let the gods give you the power to defeat the mob!"

His Majesty Tifeko guessed correctly, and Lehman was happy in his heart, there were indeed pills here! I saw that the believers' eyes suddenly turned red, and their faces were bruised. During the time of the drug's effect, an ordinary person can burst out with strength and speed beyond the limits of the human body, and the narrower the terrain, the more difficult it is to deal with. Unfortunately, you are not the only one who has this kind of thing, he thought, taste your own power.

"Get out of the way," he yelled, "the militia meet the enemy!"

When the militia in the back heard this, they couldn't wait to swallow the two-color pill, and then fought with the mad believers. It was only then that the priest's face finally changed, "Why do you have ...... too!"

"Holy medicine?" Lehman walked around the two groups of people and approached each other with a sword in one hand, "This is a gift from the church, if it weren't for you to get in the way, Your Majesty would have unified the Gray Castle long ago." ”

"Your Majesty?" the priest's eyes widened, "you're from Tifeko—"

The sound stopped abruptly, and the sword in the knight's hand had pierced his chest, piercing his heart and lungs.

The battle was soon over, and more than twenty believers were slaughtered, and their bodies lay on the ground. After the effect of the medicine wore off, the militiamen let out heavy breathing and sat down contentedly against the corpse, not minding the unbridled flow of blood.

Lehman felt his arm heavier and heavier, and the sword made him feel a tearing pain. Sometimes he wanted to swallow the black pill to make himself ignore the exhaustion and pain in his body, but every time he saw the ugliness of the person taking the pill, the thought was reversed.

Lehman already had a deep understanding of the two pills sold by the church. For a person in good health, the pill can only work up to three times, the first time for about a quarter of an hour, after which the duration will become shorter and shorter, while developing a strong dependence. If you don't take the medicine for a long time, your body will gradually decline until you die.

Taking advantage of this trait, he uniformly fed the militia with pills before they set out, forcing them to obey his orders, and his thirst for medicine could turn even the weakest and most incompetent farmers into bloodthirsty beasts. Now this is the second time that 100 people have taken it, and they only have one use left.

But...... Even repeated drug supplementation after three sessions will only alleviate the pain, not reverse the process. In other words, as long as you eat the first pill, it is equivalent to stepping into a coffin with one foot. Of course, Lehman won't tell this group of people.

There was no doubt that the two-color elixir was a conspiracy of the Church, and His Majesty Tifeco was well aware of this, so he forbade any knight to use it. But it's also a weapon for unifying the kingdom, or rather...... It is a must-have. Without it, His Majesty would not have been able to defeat Garcia Wimbledon, who also possessed the pill.

When he first heard His Majesty mention this, Lehman was still in disbelief, he really couldn't understand why the Church supported two royal bloodlines to compete for the throne, but a series of events that followed made him more and more agree with His Majesty's judgment, and now that he had seen this pill in the church in the West, he no longer had any doubts about it - the Church did not intend to help any prince ascend to the throne, they wanted the whole Grey Keep.

"I found the pills in the basement, four large boxes, enough to have several thousand. After a thorough search of the church, Le Wenwen replied excitedly, "There are also a lot of gold dragons, jewelry, and silk, which should be donated by believers." ”

"Take everything you can, burn everything you can't," Lehman commanded, "it's Roland Wimbledon anyway, we're just helping the church to put down the rebellion." ”

Since the secret medicine must rely on the church to provide, it is not the time to completely tear the skin, and pushing it to the fourth prince can be regarded as death without proof. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Church, His Majesty himself remained in the north, pretending to follow the instructions of the other party, but sent himself with a small number of knights to recruit a large number of militia to seize the western border.

Now that the Church's forces are all concentrated in the Wolf's Heart Kingdom, there is no time to pay attention to the situation on this side, so it is necessary to unify the Grey Keep as soon as possible in order to draw up strength to resist the Church's attack - His Majesty Tifeko believes that it is only a matter of time before they launch an attack on the Grey Keep, and before that, they must store and collect as many pills as possible. At the same time, he also ordered the Royal Capital Alchemy Association to study the ingredients of the secret medicine, and strive to imitate it as soon as possible.

Now that the pills are in hand, there is only one last step left on the mission - to completely eliminate Roland Wimbleton. (To be continued.) )
