Chapter 1419 2 Identities
An extremely grand scene appeared in the city in the morning light.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, the church procession slowly passed through the city gate, holding rows of flags. The ones who walked at the forefront to clear the way for them were the Royal Knights. This was a solemn treatment that had not been repeated for a long time, and everyone's eyes were on a woman in the middle of the team who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a crown.
She is the rumored new pope and the key figure in defeating the rebels and leading Hermes back on track.
Although the church's invasion of Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter once tarnished its image, it is undeniable that they still have a certain influence, and recently this parade often travels through the front lines of the battlefield, rescuing refugees while inspiring the world to fight against evil. Won a lot of gratitude and gratitude. This news was also spread back to Glow City through various channels, making the people curious about the new pope.
After all, in the past, popes were aloof beings. Even if the king wanted to see them, he had to get permission in advance. There were not many popes who were willing to take risks personally, and even cared about every commoner cordially. And every time the woman nodded and smiled at everyone, there would always be a burst of excitement. In addition to the identity of the other party, her outstanding appearance was also one of the factors that caused the sensation.
Finally the procession stopped in front of the inner city castle.
The Pope dismounted and climbed the stairs step by step. Standing at the door to greet her was Roland Wimbledon, the King of Graycastle.
The two people stretched out their hands and simply clasped each other - even though it was the first time for most people to see this novel etiquette, they could all see the meaning of equality in it. This also proved the rumors in disguise. The new pope's ascension was supported by Graycastle, and the relationship between the two parties has been reshaped.
Amid the warm applause of the crowd, the two walked into the castle side by side.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm rude."
After the door was closed, the woman leaned down and was about to kneel down on one knee when she was pulled up by Roland. "No, I think this is good. Besides, you are no longer the pure person you used to be. The Witch Alliance does not need such complicated etiquette. Have you stayed in the Holy City for too long and forgotten this?"
The other party was Isabella who was transferred to Hermes to take over the Holy City as the Pope's deputy, responsible for settling the nuns and orphans, and preventing the leakage of the Madness Pill.
"Of course...no." After Isabella finished speaking, she was suddenly stunned. She raised her head in surprise, "Your Majesty, you just said..."
"You heard it right, Wendy proposed to accept you as a member of the alliance, and I agreed to her proposal." Roland nodded, "Although the punishment is five years, you did a good job in Hermes. Just think of it as a reward.”
Isabella was stunned for a while before reacting, "But Your Majesty, I..."
"After joining the Witches Union, a fixed Chaos Drink will be distributed every month."
"Uh-" The latter's "but" suddenly got stuck in his throat.
"I know what you want to say, really..." Roland sighed, "You pure people always like to persist in inexplicable places, or torture yourselves. Besides, atonement does not require shackles and chains to achieve, if It would be a headache for me to keep preparing these things for you. So at this time, just say thank you to Wendy like everyone else."
"Yes..." Isabella bit her lip and slowly lowered her head, "I understand."
"I know you have been living under responsibilities and orders in the past, but it doesn't matter. One day you will get used to this new way of life." Roland changed the topic, "This meeting is a rare publicity opportunity. It should be held more grandly, but I no longer want to waste time on ceremonies and banquets. You should know that Neverwinter City was attacked by evil beasts."
"Yes." When it came to business, Isabella's expression suddenly became serious, "You came to me because you want to know information about the evil beast?"
"Yes, after all, Hermes has been the main force against evil beasts in the past hundred years. I think the church must have accumulated a lot of relevant information."
Isabella responded without hesitation, "I will tell you everything I know."
When he learned that Neverwinter City was suddenly attacked by evil beasts four days ago, Roland didn't pay much attention at first - he had experienced many evil moons in the Western Region, and people had been able to deal with them with wooden guns and firearms several years ago. , not to mention today’s military. Although it was unusual for a large number of evil beasts to appear outside of the evil month, the First Army was fighting devils in many areas, and he had no time to care about the reasons behind it.
Unexpectedly, the development of things was beyond his expectation.
That night he received several telegrams from the North Slope Mountain Tower, and the situation took a turn for the worse. A large number of evil beasts crossed the line of Taqila and launched an attack on the pioneering land. The garrison troops also resisted accordingly, but failed to stop the enemy's offensive. If armored trains had not been deployed in time to support them, the losses would have been even more shocking.
Moreover, the report mentioned that several witnesses claimed to have seen ghost-like monsters. They moved quickly, silently, and were almost invisible to the naked eye. They only appeared after being stained with blood.
This made Roland realize that he might have seriously underestimated the ability of the evil beast.
…
When Isabella finished speaking, Roland found that his guess had been confirmed - compared to the Holy City of Hermes, the Evil Moon in the western realm of Graycastle is just a tributary in the sea, and there are far more types of evil beasts than devils. There are many, and some hybrids are even difficult to find prototypes in beasts.
For example, the wild beast with an extremely long body that can pass through the ground and climb the city wall, the ram-horned bird body, the cold howling bird that is a great threat to ordinary people, etc. are all monsters that have never been seen in the Western Region. At the same time, he also had a basic clue as to why the attack came without warning - a large group of evil beasts suddenly appeared behind the pioneering land, and it was most likely because of the wild beasts.
But this still doesn't explain why the situation in Neverwinter has become so severe. Even if there is no huge wall like the Holy City in the rear, the first army is still inexperienced newcomers, but the gap in weapons is enough to make up for it all. People may fall into chaos at first, but after the emergency plan is activated, the military should be able to quickly stabilize the situation.
In addition, he noticed that Isabella never mentioned the ghost-like monster, which also made him wonder-is it a brand-new enemy, or a false alarm caused by the confusion of the people in the territory?
At this time, an attendant walked into the room carrying a paper bag.
"Your Majesty, a new letter has been sent from Neverwinter City."
"Not a telegram?" Roland said a little surprised.
"Yes, this is delivered via Sky Knight."
"Take it apart."
The paper bag contained a stack of pictures. Roland spread it out on the table and realized that they were all true portraits of the attacker. Obviously, these pictures were all created by Soraya - compared to written reports, the latter is undoubtedly much more accurate at the intelligence level.
It seems that even if they have no fighting ability, they are still doing their best to defend their homeland.
Soon, one of the pictures of the monster's corpse caught Roland's attention.
It seemed to have been hit by a train, and most of its body was stuck to the iron plate. Its appearance could not be related to any of the evil beasts described by Isabella.
"Have you seen this kind of hybrid in Hermes?" He pulled out the drawing and placed it in front of Isabella.
She looked at it carefully, then shook her head.
However, Nightingale, who had been standing behind Roland, suddenly let out a soft cry of "Huh".
