A natural temple in the capital of the Kingdom of Iberia.
This natural temple, originally controlled by Roland's priests, has now become the location of the city of gods.
Saint Salis stood in the hall of the rear hall with his hands behind his back. In front of him was the haggard Queen Laura. Queen Laura was a young girl from any angle. She was less than 20 years old and had a fighting spirit, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the white hair at her temples made her look very old.
With a hint of evil amusement, Saliss wondered if this was the result of Dominic's excessive demands on her.
Behind her, forty people who were tied up were escorted into the hall by a team of soldiers.
Salis frowned and said, "Queen Laura, is this your attitude towards the City of God? Some of these people under the steps are not even low-level, and you use them as nutrients? Is it because Lord Dominic is not here that you don't take us seriously?"
"Lord Sarris, I know that the more powerful the nutrients needed for the rebirth of the Saint of the City of God, the better. But the order you gave was too urgent. We started looking for people in the Royal City overnight yesterday, but there was really no way to find so many people who met the requirements in such a short time.
Or... can you give me a few more days? I'll ask the nobles nearby to see if there's anyone suitable to send over.
This time, Lord Dominic brought so many powerful saints with him, and he will definitely be able to defeat those Chinese Tower rebels. Maybe, maybe we don't have to be so urgent. "
"Who gave you the courage to be so perfunctory in front of me?" As Salis spoke, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive. After all, Queen Laura was much inferior in realm, and for a moment she found it difficult to even breathe. She didn't dare to fight him with her fighting spirit, so her thighs trembled, like a small flower that was ravaged by a storm.
"Don't think that just because you climbed into Dominic's bed, you can tell the rest of us what to do. You are just a toy to him." Salis walked up to Queen Laura and looked down at her. "I won't accept these trash you found, but these guards who are escorting them look pretty good. That captain should be a high-ranking one, right? I will accept him with reluctance."
"No, these are my guards! You can't do this!" Queen Laura rushed forward and grabbed Salis's arm. A layer of light film appeared on Salis's body, and with a light flick, the queen was pushed away. "Who are they? What does it have to do with me?"
Queen Laura fell to the ground, still shouting, "You still need our army to help you fight the Tower of China! If the soldiers fighting for you may lose their lives at any time and become the nutrients for your resurrection, who would be willing to stand on our side?"
The guards behind Queen Laura also panicked. Some of them drew their weapons, while others tried to escape. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
A ball of light appeared in Salis's hand, and he flicked his finger, hitting the center of the hall. A magical ripple swept across the entire room.
Everyone present felt as if all their strength was suddenly drained away, and they all fell to the ground.
"You must remember that the City of Gods never needs your help. Any saint is much more useful than your weak army. The City of Gods will take what it wants. You have no right to choose whether to give or not."
Salis turned and walked to the front of the hall, where a huge curtain separated the entire room.
Under Salis's gaze, runes flickered on the curtain and it slowly opened to both sides, revealing the silver sphere behind it, which was the City of God.
Although Salis is not the controller of the City of God, he also has the authority to operate it.
"Lord Sarris, Lord Sarris! Please wait a moment, please wait a moment!" Queen Laura shouted on the ground, tears streaming down her face. Since her father's death, the guards in the capital had been purged several times. Now the guards around her were the ones she trusted the most, and they could be said to be her real support in the capital. Maybe their strength was not that high, but their loyalty was trustworthy. Sarris's doing this was like cutting off her arm.
"Okay, little queen, if you don't want to become nutrients together, you'd better shut up now." Salis placed a hand gently on the silver sphere of the city of gods.
Green bands of light began to emit from the green crystals of the Holy City, covering everyone except Salis and Queen Laura.
Just like what happened in the border town before, those people began to dissipate in the green light.
"Isn't this great? Soon our two fallen companions will be resurrected here. You have to understand the situation. As long as the power of the City of God is there, it will support you and allow you to continue to be the queen happily. It doesn't matter if someone opposes you or hates you, because they still have to listen to you and act according to your orders. Well, stop crying here and do what needs to be done!"
Queen Laura fell to the ground, her body trembling slightly. She raised her head, wiped her eyes, and said softly, "Yes, Lord Salis."
Salis raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, you are no longer needed here, please go out."
Laura stood up and prepared to walk out of the hall, but she heard a scream behind her.
She looked back and saw that Salis had completely lost his calm and composed look. His expression could be described as terrified. His hand on the City of God was shaking, and he kept muttering to himself: "How is this possible! How did so many people die again? Buigas died, Caleros died... What! Now even Honorio is dead? And their souls have completely lost contact with the City of God and disappeared just like that? Impossible, something must have gone wrong."
Salis slapped the city of God in panic, looking even more at a loss than the guards just now.
Laura thought this man was ridiculous, and so was she. Whether it was the high and mighty Saint of the City of God or the weak ordinary guards, when they lost hope, no matter how strong they were, they would become like this. Yet she fell before such people again and again. She didn't know what happened in the battle between these people and the Tower of China. But she had a hunch that the days of the Saints showing off their might were about to end.
At this moment, she somehow thought of Liu Pengfei, the man from the Tower of China, who might be the biggest turning point in her life. An inexplicable complex emotion grew in her heart.
"Oh my God, Master Dominic, he is dead too."
