Chapter 374 The Battle of Black Mountain (End-Part 2)
In the wizard’s camp, the unshackled wizards were divided into two groups. One group had about ten people tied up, and the other group had hundreds of people surrounding it. A small circle.
The dozen or so people watching in the crowd were the wizard traitors who survived the battlefield.
A wizard was kicked by Mormont and rolled five or six times, curling up in pain.
"Have you forgotten your oath? Why betrayed?" Mormont pointed at the wizard sadly.
"Is there anything wrong? What's wrong with me? I just want to go home!" The skinny wizard raised his head with dust on his face.
"I also want to go home. Everyone wants to go home, but besides you, there are many people who cannot go home because of the existence of the church." Mormont stepped forward and shook his head. He opened his arms and punched the wizard in the face.
“An oath is an oath. Betrayal is not allowed and must not be allowed!”
“We betrayed? It was you who betrayed us!” The wizard raised his head, and the corners of his mouth visibly turned pale. to bruises.
Mormont was so angry that he laughed and kicked him in the chin: "You have surrendered to the church, and you still want to accuse me of betrayal?"
"You told us that we were willing to launch a rebellion only after Niedersal left." The wizard struggled to turn over, "But you ran away. Do you know how much we suffered?"
"I ran out to save you! If I hadn't run out, wouldn't you still be enslaved?" Mormont yelled at him.
The wizard raised his head and pointed at the flag with a finger stained with red blood: "Nedsaal is a member of the Flesh and Blood Court. Aren't you cooperating with the church?"
Mormont was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly discovered something that he had ignored in the past.
For the people of Black Snake Bay, the Messiah Cult is bound to the church, so even the Salvation Army under the banner of the Messirah Cult is also under the oath of "non-cooperation".
According to this standard, it was Mormont who violated the oath of "non-cooperation".
But Horn and others are obviously wizards, just under the banner of Myrcella...
Mormont suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Look at the released wizards around, although most of them have contempt for their betrayal on their faces.
But if you look closely, it seems that Mormont also shares his disdain.
"Speak, why are you silent? Tell me who betrayed you?" The wizard saw everyone's expressions and laughed proudly.
While Mormont was struggling, the crowd gradually dispersed, with Jeanna taking the lead with an unkind look on her face. Horn, who had put on his daily holy robe, appeared behind Jeanna.
Looking at Horn's shortened holy robe and the attitudes of the people around him, most of these wizards knew who the young man in front of them was.
Many wizards had expressions of surprise on their faces.
They never thought that the person who defeated Niedersall, who even they could not defeat, was actually a little kid who didn't even have a full beard.
Pope Horn was born on August 16, 1426, and is only 19 years old this year.
The second in command, Saint Jeanne, is younger. She was born on August 14, 1428, and is only 17 years old this year.
However, considering that the army commanders are generally under thirty years old, the entire Salvation Army can be said to be a young and young regime.
"Child, are you the Patriarch of the Salvation Army? Or are you the son of the Patriarch of the Salvation Army?" an outspoken wizard asked loudly.
Horn glanced at him: "If you are asking who defeated Niedersall and rescued you, it was me."
The wizard retracted his head angrily.
"Your Majesty..." Mormont walked towards Horn awkwardly.
Just as he was about to explain what happened, Horn waved his hand, walked straight to the wizard, and squatted down.
"What are you doing?" The wizard fell to the ground and stared at Horn, "Didn't you see enough of the evil wizard? If you want to kill or cut into pieces, just come! I am incompatible with the church!"
< br>Without any excuse, Horn gently snapped his fingers.
Jeanna next to her immediately raised her hand, and a bolt of lightning flew past, knocking down a small tree on the side of the road.
"Wizard!" The betrayed wizards all opened their eyes wide.
Wait, that’s not right.
Watching the small tree slowly falling down, many wizards were horrified to discover that the girl did not have any pre-movements when she cast the spell.
There is only one possibility for this kind of rapid spell casting, and that is——
"Witch?" Some wizard shouted subconsciously.
"Watch your words, I'm warning you." Das, who was still watching the show, stood up and said, "This is the saint."
After a few seconds of silence, I don't know who it was. The wizard suddenly cursed in a low voice: "Goat, another scale meeting."
"Facts speak louder than words, have we taught you clearly now?" Horn did not correct the Salvation Army. Ambiguous positioning, but acquiescing to some facts.
As an advanced productive force, wizards must be won over as much as possible.
It's just that he can't give up on those old citizens and farmers, so he can only maintain it in a vague state.
“You all know what happens to betrayers, right?” Mormont grabbed the wizard just now by his collar and lifted him up from the ground. “I will hand you over to the Secret Party Joint Tribunal. "
"So what?" A witch with a bruised nose and face stood up coldly, blood flowing from her forehead to her chin, "Are you any better than the Empire and the Church?"
< br>"What nonsense are you talking about?" "I have finally seen through it. The church and the secret party are the same. The church wants us to die in the name of evil wizards, but the secret party also wants us to die because of the oath of non-cooperation?"
"Yes, I neither like the church nor the secret party!" the skinny wizard agreed.
“Ha, have you ever thought that Niedersal promised to set you free, there are churches everywhere, and Black Snake Bay hates you, so where can you escape to?”
"The Royal Court of Flesh and Blood!" The skinny wizard raised his chin and said stubbornly, "He said he would send us to the Royal Court of Flesh and Blood and set us free."
"Wait a minute." The man who had been watching coldly said Paslik suddenly said, "Niddsall can send you to the Flesh and Blood King's Court... and he still has contact with the Flesh and Blood King's Court?"
The betrayed wizards looked at each other a few times. , seems to be still hesitating.
"Whoever is willing to tell the truth, I can exempt him from the death penalty." Horn assisted from the side.
Mormont opened his mouth and was about to say that this was an internal matter within the secret party, but fell silent again.
He suddenly discovered that the Salvation Army is a secret party organization similar to the Scaling Society. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as a kind of secret party.
Besides, this wave of Horn killed Niedersall, who had made countless enemies in Black Snake Bay. Based on his value as a male witch, it is estimated that many secret party organizations are willing to vote for him for the sake of favor.
For this trivial matter, it is not worth it. Just treat these traitors as dead.
After a long silence, an old wizard sighed and stood up reluctantly: "Niedersall claimed to be a servant of the Thoredor family, and he only came to the empire to collect intelligence."
"Nonsense, that's just him. The vigor of dealing with the secret party is nothing like that of spies of the royal court," Mormont immediately retorted.
“He said that he was indeed a spy at first, but then his superior, a prince-level vampire, suddenly disappeared.
Although he could contact the family, he was too conspicuous , he could no longer return to the royal court.
He had no choice but to accept his fate and prepare to spend the rest of his life here. He worked hard for the church in order to have a metropolitan-level priesthood.
< br>
In this way, no one can delve into his past experience. The empire has never dared to investigate too much about high-level religious nobles.
So he just pretended to convert, but in fact he still secretly believed in the Lord of Immortality. "
"He said that, and you just believe it? "Mormont cursed with hatred, "I even said that I was the reincarnation of Alexander the Great! "
"Of course not. "The old wizard steeled himself to argue, "He showed us the evidence. He even hid the object in the flesh and blood of his palm. We saw it with our own eyes.
If he was really so loyal to the church, why would he bring something with him that would never be buried once discovered? ”
No need for Horn to speak, Jeshka on the side ordered the people next to him: "Go and bring Niedersall's body over."
"Yes."
Transfer Looking over his shoulder, Horn continued to ask: "What does that object look like?"
"I can't remember clearly. It is a four-sided pyramid. When it is activated, it does contain strong fluctuations of blood magic. It is said that It's for signaling..."
"Is there any symbol on it? Draw it for me," Paslik asked. It's the same as the heraldry of the empire. The symbols within the secret party. Learning is also a necessary course.
After untying the rope from the wizard's hand, he squatted down and scratched on the dirt.
While drawing, Paslik and Horn both felt something was wrong.
The two looked at each other without speaking. Instead, Jeanne looked curiously at the symbol on the ground: "This is not the 'Moon God'..."
"Jean Na! Let's talk about it when we get back." Horn stepped forward and held Jeana's wrist, preventing her from continuing.
After all, Shilov of Qiu Mu Island is still kept secret. There must be someone big behind her, and we cannot discuss it casually on this occasion.
Realizing that she had made a mistake, Jeanne quickly shut her mouth.
If they don’t speak, others will naturally not dare to speak.
Everyone was so eerily silent until Victor's figure appeared at the door of the camp.
He looked around, spotted Horn's figure and rushed over quickly, his collar and armpits all wet with sweat.
"Your Majesty..."
"Where's Jeshka?" Horn felt something was wrong, "Why are you here?"
"Niedersall's body is missing..."
"What! Say it again Again, please be more detailed.”
Victor swallowed: “I just took Boss Jeshka to the shed where the corpses of senior general Ibe were placed, and we put them there to be burned. < br>
But when we arrived, all four war monks were dead, and the horses pulling the bodies were missing two horses. After we checked, we found that only Niedersall's body was missing.
Boss Jeshka led the hussars and North knights in pursuit..."
Resurrection? Impossible? Horn personally confirmed his death. His breathing stopped and his pulse stopped. My heart stopped beating, and I felt cold!
Damn it, is it possible that I’ll have to hit the corpse again in the future?
Slow down, Horn is not like Victor. In panic:
“Mormont, find some soothsayers to figure out where he is! Jeanne, release the Holy Gun Cavalry and search the mountains and seas for me! ”
