Chapter 647 Simple

Zack and the other knights could leave the battlefield as early as the city gate was closed. But because of greed, none of them "take it as soon as it's good." Therefore, when the people around started to plunder unscrupulously, these lucky guys got involved. Unexpectedly, after the war horse was exhausted, he was quickly arrested in the subsequent bandit suppression operation.

Now that he is a prisoner, Zac is no longer as powerful as before. He doesn't have much regret now, and all he thinks about is how to raise ransom. Zac has the status of a "knight", even if the noble who enshrined him died long ago On the battlefield, but the identity is real. In this era, knights can be redeemed by ransom after being captured, so this self-proclaimed strong knight did not forget to stare at the surrounding civilians with cold eyes after being smashed in the face by a rotten egg, as if to remember these insults Like someone who passed him.

Zach was tall and stood out from the crowd. This gaze did scare many people, but before he stared a few times, the Efta knights riding on horses on both sides whipped him on the head.

"Snapped!"

Amidst the loud voice, a blood mark appeared on Zach's face, and the knight next to him pointed at Zach and cursed: "What are you looking at! It's too late, right?"

The burning pain made Zach dare not look up immediately. He knew that it was meaningless for him to go crazy now, so he could only swallow his anger, cursing the knight secretly in his heart, and vowed to educate him well after the redemption. But just as he was thinking How to take revenge, but I feel a little guilty in my heart for no reason.

Because he thought of the seemingly harmless Rody on the battlefield, but in the end he slaughtered the two elders of the two teams by himself.

The other party's amazing archery skills have surpassed his imagination, thinking that such a terrifying guy can endure all kinds of humiliation by himself in order to hide his identity... Zach trembled uncontrollably.

Who the hell is he? The elite of the "Rosicrucian"?

Zach still doesn't know who Rody is, but as the prisoner team went deeper into the city, the words of the surrounding residents drifted into their ears

"Have you watched "The Age of Karen" today? Great news!"

"I can't read, I don't understand, please tell me quickly..."

Paper newspapers are now basically popular after the establishment of more than ten paper mills in Efta, but "Karen Times" has started to enter the charging mode after the fourth issue, and the number of people holding newspapers on the street is much less. The farmers in the village were unwilling to pay for it, but for the residents living in the "Holy Temple", the price of the newspaper was still low. In order to get fresh news from all over the kingdom, they didn't mind paying a few copper coins at all. After all, spreading the latest news to the illiterate people around them can give them a lot of sense of superiority and satisfaction.

"A large part of this issue is about the 'Holy Temple'! It tells the battle process of the previous few days, and even counts the casualties of all the villages..."

"The newspapers said that all of this was a conspiracy by the Viper's Cross! Their sneak attack has devastated the villages and small towns within the entire 'Holy Temple' area, and Earl Mirno, who led them, is even more shameless..."

Roddy's newspaper pointed the finger at "Viper's Cross" and "Earl Milnor", without mentioning anything about the royal family, so people's hatred suddenly concentrated on these two forces, combined with the bloody numbers and Just like the description of the scene in person, it is estimated that ordinary people in the kingdom can easily feel disgusted with them.

"These damned heretics!"

"If it wasn't for that powerful temple guard who killed the two leaders of the enemy, the entire city might be doomed!"

Zach turned his head slightly when someone followed him. He knew that the "powerful temple guard" the other party was talking about was "Raphael"... In this way, is the other party an undercover agent of the "Rosicrucian"?

But the guy dictating the newspaper sneered: "What temple guards! You all guessed wrong... Do you know? One of the leaders of the two 'Viper Cross' is Cardinal Claude and the other is Elder Dean. A strong man who can't do it! You can destroy an entire temple guard with a wave of your hand! And the archer who killed them will never be imagined!"

"Who is it?"

"The newspaper said his identity?"

This suspense immediately attracted the surrounding people, including Zach and the captured knights all turned their heads, and the pace of the entire team even slowed down.

"It's Efta's cabinet minister, Mr. Roddy!"

"ah?!"

"How can it be!?"

The crowd was in an uproar, but after that, they fell into silence. The name "Roddy" had actually been heard by them a long time ago, but this place is far away from Efta, and the rumors about him have not been adapted into any stories by bards, so no one thought of it for a while. This "Cabinet Prime Minister" with strong archery skills. However, this time "Karen Age" directly admitted that Roddy killed Dean and Claude. After carefully thinking about the old news in the past, people all acquiesced to this fact...

"Master Roddy led a team to kill hundreds of orcs, right?"

"Yes, didn't you say that he went to the Tasman Kingdom to kill Augustine the Great? He killed all the powerful undead monarchs, so what are Dean and Claude?"

"God of light... so the Prime Minister is so powerful!"

Because Zac was pushed forward by the crowd, the conversation soon became unclear, but at this moment, like all the knights around him, his face grew horrified, and there was someone beside his mouth who had laughed at Roddy The guy stammered and asked: "He, he, he is really the Prime Minister of Efta? I don't think it looks like it..."

Zach closed his mouth, and now he really doesn't want to say anything: It is precisely because everyone has not seen the flaws that he thinks the Prime Minister is terrible!

Suddenly, a feeling of unease welled up in his heart and he turned his head to look around at the cavalry with the Efta mark painted on their armor. He swallowed, and couldn't help but think of a question: Will Rody hold grudges very much? And then list them all as guys who need "special treatment"?

No, probably not. The "Temple" is the main place where the "Rosary Cross" spreads its teachings. Zach knows that this sect is very particular about "benevolence" and "the God of Light will forgive all sins." will not be punished by them...

This is the deep-rooted class thinking: if civilians break the law, they must be severely punished according to the laws set by the lord. When knights and nobles break the law, they have another set of rules to deal with. Just because they are the "privileged ruling class", in most of the battles in the Karen Kingdom, knights and even knight entourages were captured alive, because these are sources of money that can be exchanged for large ransoms. will refuse.

With this in mind, the more than 300 arrested guys came to the square of the temple. Standing on the temporary wooden platform at this moment is the powerful knight Wellington. Because he participated in the front-line battle against the bandits, there were still blood stains on his armor at the moment, and the pervasive murderous aura made the "Holy Order" knights present shudder. Most of them lowered their heads, but most of them were curious about why they came here, and they didn't understand why they built a wooden platform here.

Wellington stood there like a statue without saying a word. The whole scene was so depressing that even the onlookers dared to whisper. It didn't take long to see Cardinal Rubens rushing from the inner city with a team of people. Wearing a red cassock and holding an oracle, he read out the decision of the Pope and the College of Cardinals. The general idea is as follows:

Because the combat force is mainly composed of the Efta army, the "Rosie Cross" expressed gratitude for this, and voluntarily gave up the right to dispose of all prisoners of war. Wellington, the current leader of the Efta army, will adjudicate the guilt of all prisoners of war.

As soon as this remark came out, the entire crowd of onlookers began to "buzz" and discussed that this was in the "Holy Temple" city! Why did it suddenly have to be decided by the people of Efta?

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a very strong political signal. Once this example is opened, it means that the future "Holy Temple" will gradually follow Efta. Tower law?

Wellington is a military style, simply very agile. He stepped forward to receive the holy metaphor, turned his head, and said loudly: "Root, rape, kill civilians, burn down villages, according to Efta law, kill!"

As soon as the word "kill" came out, the square where the original "buzzing" discussion was quiet could be heard in an instant, while the heavily armed Efta knights stepped forward, row after row of bewildered "Holy Church" The "army" knight pulled up the wooden platform, raised his knife and dropped it, and the heads rolled...

"You, you can't do this!"

Seeing the three to five meters of blood sprayed out of the neck cavity, the bandits below panicked, howled and wanted to escape, but how could they escape with their hands bound? After being knocked down with weapons by the guards next to them, they were dragged onto the stage one by one, and continued to kill until they were in a daze.

Zach was trembling all over, and he couldn't understand why Everta did this, but Wellington didn't bother to think about what these guys thought. There were thirty people in a row, and he beheaded all three hundred of them.

This is real blood flowing like a river. The smell of blood on the wooden platform made the faces of the crowd pale. Human heads were piled up into a mountain, and the shouts were already ringing out...

"Nice job!"

"Long live Everta! The bloody bastards!"

"Good kill!"

These more than 300 heads are not only a demonstration against the "Viper Cross" and Earl Mirno, but for Rubens who has a deeper understanding, it is more like the prelude to a huge change.

He quietly looked at the corpses that were being carried away and the piled up heads, but suddenly he laughed out loud: "I have been bound by doctrine for so many years not to dare to offend the nobles, I never thought...breaking the game is so easy."
