Chapter 249 New Clear Water

...

The granite steps of the Palace of the Eternal Winter King's Capital have been stained red with blood, and the sweet smell in the air is so strong that it is a bit pungent. ? Hunting? Text? ?

There were many corpses lying on the ground—there were those from the God’s Punishment Army, some from believers, some from our own people, and some from the Mojin Sand People. They died in different ways, most of them had burnt marks on their bodies, and broken limbs and internal organs were scattered everywhere. Faruen knew that he died from the impact and burning of strong snow powder.

Every time he stepped on a step, he would feel a sticky feeling under his feet. The fighting will of the Church Judgment Army and believers can be described as crazy. Facing the many slaves strengthened by drugs, they still did not retreat, using their flesh as a shield to cling to the enemy, just to get a fatal blow for their companions. Opportunities for people—although pills can make people full of strength and not be afraid of pain, the heart, neck and head are still the key points, and Her Majesty the Queen has no extra armor to arm these cheap slaves.

If it weren't for the snow powder, the situation of the battle might be really hard to say.

But we won...Farien's heart was burning like fire, we won after all! The flag of the Queen of Clear Water was already flying over the city, and the church's strongest defenses were not able to withstand this wave of attacks. In this way, the Black Sails fleet was freed from being trapped in a corner of Graycastle, and did not have to be exhausted in the endless war of attrition with Timothy.

The hall of the temple was also in a mess. There were shattered glass shards and bloodstains everywhere on the ground, but he didn't care about it. He went straight to the woman standing in the middle of the hall with high spirits, and knelt down on one knee. Go down, "Your Majesty, the four city gates have all fallen into Heifan's hands, and the King of Eternal Winter is yours now."

"Thank you, get up." Garcia put her hand in front of him.

Faruen gently held the queen's hand, kissed symbolically on the back of the finger, then got up and stood beside her.

"Strange etiquette," Kabara said abruptly, "You didn't touch her hand at all, why did you put on this look?"

The question was so abrupt that he couldn't help frowning, but the other party was the patriarch of the Sandstone clan, so he couldn't scold her for being rude in public, so he said coldly: "This is a common etiquette among nobles, which represents politeness and respect." , it would be impolite if you encounter it, and it is normal for you as a sandman not to understand."

"Really?" She raised her brows and pointed to her neck, "Obviously I am an ally who fought together, and I just finished the battle, so I have to put this kind of thing on me. The politeness and respect of the people of the mainland is really amazing." It's puzzling."

There was an iron bar around Kabara's neck, with a bulge in the middle, which looked like an ornament at first glance, but Farien knew that it contained a God's Stone of Retaliation. Except for a special key, it is difficult to unlock the iron bar by other means, and the key is in the hands of Garcia. The other party is a witch, so she should be treated with caution, but she did contribute a lot in the battle. Without her command skills, those slaves with strong snow powder would not dare to rush to the strict defense line formed by the believers. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute.

"Okay, don't argue about such trivial matters," Garcia interrupted, "Don't forget the purpose of our coming here——Compared with the vast living land, can you not bear even a single stone?"

"I just said it casually," Kabara shrugged, "I hope you can keep your promise."

"Of course, this is the basis of our cooperation," the queen smiled.

"What should Black Sail do next?" Farien asked.

"The next step will be discussed later, let's watch a good show first." Garcia clapped her hands and told Qin Wei, "Bring her here."

After a while, two armored guards walked into the temple with a woman with her hands tied behind her back.

She was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, brown messy hair scattered on both sides of her cheeks, and she was wearing a golden church robe. This kind of exquisite workmanship and exquisite materials can only be worn by the bishop of Hermes. At this moment, the gorgeous robe has been damaged in several places, and there are blood stains around it.

"This man is...the bishop?"

"That's right," the Queen of Clear Water raised the corners of her mouth, "I have confirmed with the local nobles that she is one of the three major bishops of the church, Lord Heather." She cast her eyes on the other party, "Well, am I right? ?”

"..." Heather didn't answer, but Farien could see the mockery and disdain in her eyes.

Obviously, Garcia also felt this, she chuckled twice, "I also think you will not surrender, so out of kindness, I will bring you to the temple, where I will send you back to the Kingdom of God You can slowly beg the gods for salvation, or you can beg for forgiveness from me. I will cut off your fingers, limbs and facial features little by little, so that you can fully experience the pain and helplessness of the citizens of Bishui Port."

"And then?" the female bishop said unexpectedly, "Being crushed by the church's army? Or do you plan to drift on the sea for the rest of your life and never go to shore?"

"You don't need to worry about this," Garcia motioned for the guards to start, "In contrast, the church's army is attacking Wolfheart City, and Hermes is like an undefended city, which is worse than my fate. It is much more important. I may not be able to set foot on the land of the new holy city, but it is still possible to burn the old holy city under the plateau into ruins. You should have heard of the river Styx at the extreme southern corner of Graycastle, very Easy to ignite and hard to extinguish. I brought a whole boat this time."

The personal guard drew out the dagger, approached the bishop who was pinned to the ground, and cut off her two fingers neatly.

Heather gritted her teeth and didn't let out a cry of pain.

The Queen of Clear Water stepped onto the main steps of the hall, sat on the wide throne, propped her chin with her right hand, and showed an expression of great interest.

... Another three fingers. At this time, the opponent's left hand has become a bare palm, and there are beads of sweat on Heather's forehead.

"Do you have to do this?" Kabara shook her head, "If it's not for deterring the enemy or interrogating intelligence, such pure torture is unnecessary."

"It's not necessary?" Garcia laughed out loud, "You should tell her that, do you know how those witches who fall into the church's hands will be treated by them? I guess you won't be interested in knowing of."

"Hahaha..." At this moment, Heather, who lost her ten fingers, suddenly laughed, "You don't understand the greatness of the church at all, and you don't understand the importance of everything the Holy City does. You are always accompanied by ignorance , but is ignorant of the coming destruction! Hermes will show you what real power is—people who oppose the church have no other ending except destruction!"

"Really..." Garcia raised her legs and smiled, "Then I'll wait and see."

Until the archbishop died, he did not cry out a word of begging for mercy. But to Farien's surprise, she did not call out the name of the god, hoping for the salvation of the god. In the end, when Heather was about to lose consciousness due to excessive blood loss, her expression was terribly indifferent, not as if she was being punished, but as if she was watching a farce that had nothing to do with her—through those eyes, Farien seemed to be watching To the future that has already been destined.

This feeling made him feel inexplicably depressed, almost out of breath.

"Chop her off and hang it at the door of the church," Garcia ordered after confirming the bishop's death. Then she looked at Farian, "We can talk about the next step."

"Yes, Your Majesty," he suppressed the discomfort surging in his heart, "Are you planning to attack Hermes?"

"That's right, but not the whole army." She spread out a cowhide map that she carried with her, "On the Black Sail Fleet, only a minimum number of sailors and some slaves from the East were left, and the fleet was controlled to move westward along the river to the old Holy City. And we went directly south, crossed the border of Eternal Winter, and our destination was Wolfheart City."

"Wolf...heart?" Farien was startled.

"I have reached an agreement with Wolf King Wolf," Garcia said bluntly, "if he can help him defeat the church's attack, he will help me occupy the entire territory of Eternal Winter. In this way, if the church does not withdraw the army, the ship will The loaded snow powder and Styx water are enough to plunge the Old Holy City into a sea of ​​flames—unlike the New Holy City, it is a city without walls, and it is impossible to stop slaves from attacking from all directions without gathering enough manpower."

"If they retreat, Wolfheart City will be able to gain a breathing space, and the two countries border each other, so they can join hands to fight against the church in the future!"

"Indeed," the Queen of Clear Water nodded, "and we can also stand firm in Eternal Winter." (To be continued.)
