Chapter 741: The Church of Darkness has rebelled!
Bright Road, West Gate
Under the cover of nightfall, arge group of people wearing ck robes quietly arrived at the West Gate of Bright Road, riding on horses instead ofing by train, and looked like they were in a hurry.
At this time, there weren''t many guards at the gate due to the fact that the Queen had almost emptied all of the military forces on Bright Road, and even the garrison soldiers were not left with many. So, there were only a few scattered guards at the city gate.
One guard immediately noticed the group of ck-robed people outside the city, and raised his torch high, trying to illuminate the group below the city, while loudly asking, "Who are you? What are you doing running around the city gate at this time of night? Immediately state your identity and purpose."
The people below the city gatepletely ignored him and stood silently by the gate.
The guard felt an unusual atmosphere, and turned his head to see that two soldiers were turning the winch behind the city gate, seemingly ready to open the gate and let the group of ck-robed people in.
He was shocked, "Why are you opening the gate? The origin of this group of people is unknown. Don''t open it, ask first..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, which made a muffled sound as his helmet was struck by a heavy object. The guard felt dizzy and fell to the ground, unconscious.
All the other guards, except for him,ughed coldly, then took out a ck robe and wrapped it around themselves.
Another guard came to kill the fallen guard, but one of the ck-robed people waved his hand and said, "No need to bother with him. Once Bright Road falls into our hands, he will have no choice but to surrender to us. Killing him is like killing our own people."
The guard was then spared.
The city gate slowly opened, and the ck-robed people entered in single file. The small group of city guards also donned ck robes and silently followed them. Just as they entered the city, arge number of soldiers appeared outside, wearing ck helmets and armor. At first nce, they looked like the ck Earth Knights, but upon closer inspection, their attire was different. The shoulder armor of the ck Earth Knights bore a stone emblem, while the shoulder armor of these soldiers bore a symbol representing the Dark God.
They belonged to the Temr Knights of the Church of Darkness! Once they entered the city, they immediately took control of the city gate. Meanwhile, arge number of soldiers dispersed, patrolling through the streets and alleys, charging towards other city gates.
As the ck-robed people moved through the streets, more and more of them emerged from houses and buildings. Ahead, a small patrol saw the ck-robed people, but instead of sounding an rm, they silently donned ck robes and joined the end of the procession.
The team of ck-robed men is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more people joining them.
Finally, some ignorant people noticed this strange team. People who grew up in the war years were clever enough to immediately cover their mouths and obediently return to their own homes, tightly locking their doors and windows. Silently repeating to themselves, "I can''t see what''s happening outside, I don''t know, I don''t know anything."
After finishing their silent mantra, they couldn''t resist peeping through the window cracks, nervously looking outside.
The team of ck-robed men arrived unobstructed at the Church of Darkness, where the Archbishop immediately came out to greet them. He bowed respectfully to the lead ck-robed man and said, "Cardinal, I have already arranged everything here."
The Cardinal nodded. "Very good! Let''s begin."
The group followed the Archbishop into the Church of Darkness. Soon, therge bell in the center of the Church of Darkness rang suddenly. Its sound echoed through the quiet night, awakening the entire Bright Road from its slumber. Then, the voice of the Cardinal was amplified through arge magical amplifier, "Dark worshippers! The Dark God has an important announcement for you..."
"Queen Elizabeth of West Gran has betrayed us. She appears to be a devout believer of the Dark God, but behind the scenes, she is a sphemer. She personally killed the Archbishop of the Church of Darkness, refused to help our fellow believers, and refused to assist us in our battle against the Church of Darkness."
"The Dark God has issued a divine oracle to the Pope. Overthrow this sphemer and let us join forces to establish a true state of believers in the Dark God. We shall call it Dark-Gran!"
This voice echoed over the city, and the guards in the pce suddenly became nervous.
At themand of the Queen, number 48, who guarded Bright Road, was also listening inside the pce. He had only listened for a few sentences before waving his hand and saying, "Close the pce gates, all soldiers retreat into the pce, and prepare to deal with the rebellion of the Church of Darkness."
After speaking, he quickly took off his ck robe, revealing a set of brown robes inside. On the chest of the robes, there was a resolute, angr stone embroidered, as well as the emblem of the Court Magicians on his shoulder.
This meant that he came from the ck Earth Knights andter joined the Court Magicians, both of which were the royal heir''s factions.
The soldiers in the pce quickly began to act. They closed the pce gates, brought in boulders to seal the pce doors, and piled up arge number of magical items on the pce walls. Everyone''s face showed a resolute expression.
Number 48 then took out a crystal ball and dialed the Queen''s phone number.
The phone rang and it was also night on the other side, but the night there was not quiet either. It turned out that Miss Queen was engaged in a night battle...
The siege during the day had been going on until nightfall, and the city walls had been taken. Both sides were now vying for control of the second line of defense, the inner city within the city, which was the control of the pce walls.
But even in such a tense environment, the Queen was the first to answer the call from Number 48.
The moment the call went through, she saw that Number 48 was wearing a magician robe instead of a ck robe.
Without waiting for Number 48 to speak, the Queen calmly asked, "Has the Church of Darkness revolted?"
"They have!" Number 48 said. "They are now announcing their oath to overthrow the sphemers to the people of the whole city. They will probably start attacking the pce within ten minutes. I have no soldiers on hand and can''t stop this wave."
"Don''t worry, I have made arrangements early on," the Queen said, feeling somewhat nervous inside. Bright Road could not be lost. Once it was lost, she would have no way out. But she remained calm andposed on the surface. "Now go through the transmission gate, go to Westwind Town, and find that crazy man to make a move. Ten minutes should be enough."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. I will go find him right away," Number 48 said.
