Royal Palace of Palermo.
As time went on, the atmosphere in the entire city seemed to become more tense, and the number of patrols by the Norman guards increased, as if the palace had already sensed the unrest and conspiracy surging in the outside world.
However, in the eyes of those who truly have ulterior motives, this is just a bluff when the situation is weak.
The other three demigods from the Pure-Blood Priory finally arrived in Palermo under the cover of night.
Since Agrippina's defection and the successive arrests/deaths of the Tiberius brothers, the Pure-Blood Priory has lost three demigods.
For the Priory itself, which only had eight demigods in total, this was undoubtedly a very painful number. In addition, this matter was obviously related to the Azure Sword, so they had long been on the Pure-Blood Priory's revenge blacklist.
If everyone had not taken refuge in Solomon City, the center of the technological camp, in time after the end of the Empire's Southern Expedition, the retaliatory attack would have come earlier.
And revenge that comes late will become more cruel and violent because it accumulates more anger.
At night in the city of Palermo, in the sewers and alleys of the slums, rats began to move more frequently. People kept cursing and slapping with brooms to drive out the rats that broke into the houses.
There were also dense flocks of bats flying in the night sky. Passersby walking on the street suddenly raised their hands and touched the water droplets falling on their hair.
It seemed to be rain, but it had a stench like bird excrement.
An unknown disease is spreading silently in the city through swarms of rats and bats.
At the port, sailors who had just walked out of the tavern drunkenly suddenly saw a dozen swollen corpses floating on the sea.
These corpses were washed ashore on the beach by the sea, and then suddenly burst open, with a large number of bats flying out from them.
Every time a bat landed on the road in the port, it immediately transformed into a figure wearing a black robe and holding a weapon, and without hesitation launched indiscriminate killing and attacks on the surrounding people.
Blood Slave Corps.
Soon, the Norman guards who received the signal of the port disturbance hurried in the direction of the alarm, but they suddenly felt dizzy, nauseous and chilled halfway, and fell to the ground one by one, completely losing the ability to continue fighting.
The blood slave legions ignored the city guards who fell sick on the street and quickly surrounded the Palermo Palace.
In just a moment, a blood clan demigod strolled down the street, stopped in front of the blood slave army's defense line, and silently stared at the gate of the Palermo Palace.
"Gate of the Dead?" He studied the relief on the wall with interest.
Not long after, the other two demigods also arrived here one after another.
"Commodus, why don't you go in?" One of the demigods teased, his eyes flashing with malice, "Are you afraid of being besieged after entering and repeating the mistakes of Tiberius and his brothers?"
"Haha." Commodus smiled without saying anything.
Repeating the same mistake was, of course, impossible. The failure of the Tiberius brothers in Venis was no secret, because the enemy took advantage of the restrictions of the magic tide on demigods and besieged them with a large number of guards.
