"How is it possible? Did the Kurds fail?"
On the north gate of Huedong City, Pope Mensay looked at the fallen giant and asked in fear.
Unfortunately, people around me kept silent on this issue.
First, Kurd's failure was unquestionable, and everyone could see it. Second, it was Colin's transformed appearance that shocked the Templars.
A terrifying thought began to emerge in their minds—
Could it be that Colin St. Chapman is the true voice of the gods
Although the Templars were devout and firm, their piety was for the Lord of Radiance, not the Church or the Pope.
Of course, the Pope has always been considered the spokesperson of the Lord of Radiance in the world, and being loyal to the church is also equivalent to being loyal to the Lord of Radiance.
But now, that belief is beginning to waver.
Especially in these years, the pope's ugly face has been exposed time and time again, and the authority of the church has been hit again and again.
And this time in the Pedestrian City operation, Pope Mensay chose to cooperate with the mage's act of sacrificing innocent civilians, which made many Templars begin to question their once extremely firm beliefs—
Can the Church, or the Pope, really represent the Lord of Radiance
When Colin defeated the beast-like Kurdish mage in the image of an angel descending from the world, this finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
More and more Templars lost their morale and one by one dropped their arms, unwilling to continue fighting for a possibly false belief.
"What's the matter with you? What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and fight back, the blood cavalry army is about to attack the top of the city!"
Pope Mensay was still yelling angrily, but when he realized that the Templar knights were looking at him more and more wrongly, he just shut up, boundless fear arose in his heart.
"Are you... are you going to betray your faith?"
"Your Majesty, is the gaze of the Supreme Lord really still on us?" A Templar asked in a complicated tone.
"What do you mean?" Mensay's body began to tremble, "You didn't start to suspect it because you saw Colin's appearance? You idiots! Don't you know that the devil is best at deception
They like to turn into angels to deceive the world!
So, don't be fooled by an appearance! "
"If you don't look at the appearance, what are you looking at? The heart?" The Templar looked at Mensay with contempt gradually, "When you decided to sacrifice 300,000 innocent civilians in Tinder City, what was in your heart? Is it pure and pious?"
"I... I also did this to protect the glory of the Supreme Lord!" Mensay quibbled sternly.
But obviously, such rhetoric is no longer able to impress the Templars.
They either stared at Mensay coldly, or bowed their heads in silence, or disappeared into the darkness without knowing where they were going, or no one continued to fight.
As the Knights Templar gave up their resistance, the blood cavalry army outside the city quickly rushed to the top of the city and began to take over the north gate.
Seeing this, Mensayi was too frightened to stay any longer, and ran into the city.
Along the way, he found desperately that the Templars in the city also began to give up resistance and surrender to the Blood Cavalry.
In fact, even if they don't surrender, the advantage of the blood cavalry army is already very obvious.
Continue to fight, and the only thing waiting for the Knights Templar is failure.
Under such circumstances, Colin's angel image gave them an excellent step, making them no longer resist surrender.
At least they can comfort themselves that they are surrendering to the true spokesperson of the gods.
"Your Majesty Mensa, please don't resist and come with us to see the Duke."
A group of blood cavalry quickly surrounded Mensay who was running around in the city.
However, the other party was the Pope after all, and the soldiers of the Blood Cavalry Army still maintained certain etiquette towards him.
"You...you blasphemers will be judged!" Mensay roared angrily.
But such words are naturally impossible to scare away the Blood Cavalry Army.
An officer of the Blood Cavalry Army held a long sword, stepped forward slowly, and said in his mouth:
"Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for us, otherwise, I may not be able to guarantee your safety."
This is a naked threat.
In the past, no one would have dared to threaten the Pope like this, but after Prince Harrison killed the previous Pope Gregory, everyone's attitude towards the Pope changed subtly.
The divine brilliance of the spokesperson of the gods has completely dissipated.
Only then did everyone realize that the aloof pope is actually no different from ordinary people.
Killing him would not arouse the wrath of the gods, and even the church would not dare to take revenge on the assailant.
"You...don't come here! Don't come here!" Mensay shouted sternly.
But the officer of the Blood Cavalry Army on the opposite side still approached step by step, the long sword in his hand gleamed coldly.
Cold sweat dripped from Mensay's forehead, and his heart was filled with anger and fear.
He clearly knew that Colin didn't have any respect or pity for him. Even the last time he designed Prince Harrison to kill Gregory, Colin had completely hated him.
If it falls into the hands of the blood cavalry army, I am afraid that my end will be extremely miserable...
In desperation, Mensay didn't hesitate anymore, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he took out the golden horn that never left him.
The officer of the Blood Cavalry Army was taken aback when he saw this.
In fact, he had also heard a rumor about the golden horn. Seeing Mensay taking it out at this time, he planned to stop it, but after all he hesitated and was a step too late.
woo—
The muffled sound of the horn resounded throughout Tinder City.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Everyone in Huedong City felt an irresistible sense of submission from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were about to welcome a returning king.
The officer of the Blood Cavalry Army in front of Mensay watched helplessly as the Pope blew the horn while his whole body was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a blink of an eye, Mensay completed the transition from prime to twilight.
It was not until his gray hair almost fell out and his skin was as dry as dried orange peel that he could no longer maintain his breath, and the sound of the horn finally stopped.
Boom!
Mensayi fell to the ground weakly, gasping for breath, as if he was on the verge of dying.
And at this moment, a coffin buried in the ruins of Tinder Castle was suddenly opened, and a hand stretched out.
…
Colin had just beheaded the Kurdish mage when he heard the breathtaking sound of horns.
Of course, he still didn't know that it was Mensay who sounded the golden horn.
Just as he was wondering, he saw a tall figure suddenly soaring into the sky from the ruins, and finally stood in the sky above Huodong City.
He has golden hair, bright eyes as dazzling as the sun, and a face like marble sculpture with determination and unquestionable majesty.
Just standing there, he seemed to be the center of the world.
Let everyone have an irresistible sense of surrender.
Looking at the familiar face of the man, Ke Lin couldn't help but think of the sculpture standing in the central square of Yulong City——
The founding emperor of the Glorious Empire, the legendary paladin, and the sculpture of Garner San Lorenzo!
