Because of the withdrawal of the "Shadow Blade" and several elders, the "Viper Cross" army in the city quickly lost to the army led by Rubens and was driven to retreat. Many soldiers who witnessed Rody's terrifying lethality on the city wall were boosted in morale, and they all shouted the news of "the enemy chieftain is dead" loudly.
And just when they thought that Rody would give up after Elvis flew away, they saw him turn around and suddenly run towards the city wall twenty meters away.
The dagger was inserted back into the scabbard, and the keel bone bow was thrown across the shoulders. After approaching the city wall, Rody "deng den den" took three steps upwards. Seeing that he was only halfway to the height of the city wall and was about to fall, his hands seemed to be sticking together. As soon as the city wall was grasped, it continued to climb up—the enemy needed a ladder to climb the city wall for a few minutes, but it only took three seconds to climb to the top under Rody's "climbing" skill.
After he boarded the city wall, he ignored the soldiers around him. Instead, he took two steps on the battlements and then started to "jump", and the whole person suddenly jumped out of the city!
The temple guards on the city wall were stunned. They couldn't understand why Rody jumped down after running up the city wall, but as soon as this idea came to their minds, they felt that there was wind behind them—the Kodak Duck almost jumped after the dive. Flying close to the heads of these soldiers, the violent airflow even knocked down a few city defense soldiers whose center of gravity was unstable.
Rody, who leaped from the city wall, stretched out his hand and just grabbed the hind leg of Koda Duck. With the help of his arm, he turned his body upwards and skillfully climbed onto the saddle on his back. Looking into the distance, he locked onto Elvis After the figure flew straight away!
When the soldiers on the city wall reacted, Rody was already 500 meters away. The high-level Kodak first climbed more than 100 meters, and then began to sprint with all its strength. Rody sat on the saddle and was not in a hurry. He poured the potion to restore his magic power and activated "Awakening", and then he started to make energy arrows without any hassle...
It didn't take more than three minutes from Roddy's sudden attack to jumping from the city wall, and the scattered "Crusader" knights who were about to rush forward didn't understand what happened at all, and some of them were still shouting messy slogans. However, as soon as they approached the city gate, they saw Zach and the others running back with ghostly expressions on their faces—they asked loudly what happened, but only heard one piece of news from these people:
Claude is dead!
Dean is dead!
Elvis escaped!
"What the hell is going on!? What happened?"
But the answers they got in the end made them puzzled - some said that an "invincible knight" came and picked several coaches to death one by one, some said that there were spies in ambush in the team and assassinated them at the same time, and what was even more exaggerated was that there was an "invincible knight". A terrifying monster swallowing everyone alive... This kind of thing sounds ridiculous, but it is normal in this chaotic era of cold weapons. As a result, the "Crusaders" who rushed forward hesitated and slowed down.
When they saw the "Rosaceous Cross" soldiers fighting desperately on the wall of the "Holy Temple" from a distance, and the city gate that was finally closed by Rubens' men, everyone could no longer feel excited about entering the city to plunder. idea…
The sky is getting darker at this time, and it looks like it will be dark. But at this time, the "Crusader" knights found that there was no one around to give them any hints or guidance. They all looked around in a daze, and they didn't know what to do after connecting—in order to fill their stomachs, they had to go back to the nearest They ate in the village that was plundered before, but this retreat... I don't know how many people chose to leave quietly.
After all, the hedge knights fight to make money, and the benefactor is dead, so why do you still stay here? Why don't you care about Milno's current situation if you eat enough and drink enough to get a ticket and leave
Inside the "temple", Rubens, who had finally calmed down the battle, did not rest at all. He walked ahead with a serious face, followed by Benjamin and the temple guards from the Bogdo parish, pushing away the blood-stained interior. The gate of the city, stepping into the power center that just left this morning...
No one wiped the blood on the ground, because the believers and even the priests in charge of these things in the city were killed in the daytime battles. Rubens could see corpses on the side of the square, including three cardinals in red robes...
All the eight cardinals who were sent to the outer city by the pope before survived, but they were exhausted during the battle. These old guys wanted to follow, but they were "kindly" by Rubens. "Dissuade.
In short, when Rubens walked into the church, the first thing he saw was the remaining twelve cardinals who were described as embarrassed and seriously injured. Most of them were political enemies who suppressed Rubens before, but now they looked at him one by one, but couldn't speak at all...
The fact that they almost lost the "Holy Temple" because they underestimated the enemy is one aspect. At this moment, the inner city is full of soldiers brought by Benjamin, which is the fundamental reason why they dare not speak out.
Why did Rubens' troops come so strangely? Why did he suddenly leave before the enemy attacked, and the enemy came in to kill Fantian, but he "just happened" to rush into the city with so many troops
It is not possible for so many troops to come from Bogdo Parish in two or three steps. Even if the bishop of Benjamin issued an order, it would have to be done at least three or five days in advance—but these questions are not important now, because the power struggle Always focus only on the result, no one cares about the process...
The so-called "process" doesn't matter with any lame excuses explained after the dust has settled.
Because they all understand that the power structure of the "Rosicrucian" will be completely changed from now on.
Rubens still greeted them calmly, and then continued to move forward without stopping, passing through the familiar corridor all the way to the hut where the Pope was. The servant who conveyed the words for him in the morning has been killed, and now there is only a priest with blood on his face guarding outside the house. When he saw Rubens, his lips trembled and wanted to speak, but Rubens raised his hand to stop him.
"Let me see His Majesty the Pope."
There was no longer any "passing the word" link, Rubens directly pushed the door and entered, leaving behind the priest who looked stiff and wanted to stop him.
He knew that being a fool was the best choice at a time like this.
The seriously injured Pope's face was pale, but he was not so serious that he was bedridden. He sat on the plain armchair in front of the window, looked at Rubens with dim eyes, and listened quietly to his brief account of the process of recovering the "Holy Temple", without showing any indifference to Rubens. Dissatisfaction with getting started by passing on the word.
"You mean... the two elders of the 'Viper Cross' were killed on the spot? Who did it?"
The Pope felt that things were more complicated than he had imagined, because he couldn't think of anyone who could kill the opponent's coach and general in such a situation—but Rubens' answer made him suffocate...
"It's the Prime Minister of the Efta Cabinet, Roddy."
