Alien Knights

Chapter 370: Discordant chords

Todd walked out of the cabin, turned around and glanced at the concealed cabin door, and sighed softly.

Todd returned to the deck and saw that Evie was binding Selma's hands with a twine. He was puzzled and walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"She wants to end herself."

Todd was taken aback, knelt down and looked at the dark-skinned Arab girl.

In the eyes of the other party, there is no despair and fear after being captured, only the enthusiasm for faith.

"The mother **** looks at everything in the world! She knows everything! My body may die, but my soul will live forever in the mother's hall!"

Listening to the words that popped out of Selma’s mouth, Todd frowned and asked: "The mother **** knows everything? Are you sure? The failure and arrest of your actions today were all within her expectation? Then why did she Are you sending you here to die?"

Selma stayed for a few seconds, and then she yelled vigorously: "What do stupid mortals understand?! Our failure is just part of the grand vision of the mother god..."

Evie struck a hand knife on the back of Selma's neck, then shook his head and said to Todd: "I want a fanatic to shut up, this is the best way."

Todd looked at Selma who had fallen crookedly, and gave Evie a wry smile.

Evie shrugged: "Sometimes, I really can't understand, you are always too...gentle..."

A sentence that should have been praised, was pronounced by Evie in a sarcastic tone, and it suddenly changed, which made Todd scratch his head helplessly.

"As for him, what should we do?"

Evie turned her gaze to the dying Hyatt and reminded Todd: "You don't need me to talk more nonsense, you should also know how powerful this guy's abilities are..."

Todd first glanced at a neck ring made of Magnetite on Hyatt’s neck, then looked at the river surface, and said, “An old friend of his will come to see him later. Before that, just let him live."

Evie nodded: "Then there is the last question, what should we do with this thing?"

A unique-looking iron box with several brass locks appeared in front of Todd.

"This is the thing used for the resurrection ritual?" Todd took the tin box, looked at it over and over, and then asked Evie, "Have you tried to open it?"

Evie smiled and drew out the sword behind him, and said to Todd: "If you don't mind..."

Todd waved his hand again and again: "Forget it, for safety's sake, let's send this thing to Twilight City."

At the gate of the Holy Guard, the Musi Knights were facing nervously with the defenders above the castle.

"Stay back! Don't force me to say it a second time!" The commander of the city gate garrison shouted at the army below the city gate, "This kind of behavior of you is a shameless betrayal of the Father and Brother!"

Cumberland, riding on horseback, cut out his ears with his little finger, and said to the adjutant behind him: "Put the explosives together, let the heavy armored infantry cover the craftsman forward, and blow up the city gate for me!"

Upon hearing this, the adjutant quickly dissuaded him: "Sir, this is completely different from the tactics that Lord Emerson explained before we left! Isn't it a good idea? First is the temptation, and then the storm!"

Cumberland sighed heavily: "Then follow the original plan, but don't delay too much time... You should also know that the church's army is coming towards the Holy Acropolis, now is the time to race against time! "

The adjutant nodded hurriedly and waved his hand to let several carts full of food and wine drive under the city gate.

"The Knights of Muxi got the news that the mission was attacked, so they came here to protect the king's people!" The adjutant ordered his subordinates to push the cart forward to ensure that everyone on the tower could see: "We also bring A new batch of aid has come. If you can let us in, these will be yours."

Seeing the carriage filled with meat and wine under the city gate, the soldiers of the Holy Acropolis who lacked food and clothing suddenly made a sound of swallowing saliva.

After a short while, there was a sound of arguing and cursing from the tower.

After a few more minutes, the voice of the commander of the city gate garrison came again: "Get out of my sight now! Otherwise, I don't mind nailing a few arrows with my name inscribed on your ass!"

Cumberland laughed and patted the saddle: "Okay! This guy is really good! This is like the style of a holy guard! Herald! Order the whole army to prepare for battle, and send me explosives in the back line!"

A scream interrupted the old knight's laughter.

A corpse with a dagger stuck in the back was thrown down from the tower.

"We surrender! We surrender!"

Accompanied by a group of people begging for mercy, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened.

Cumberland, which broke through the Holy Acropolis without a single soldier, led the troops into the streets of the Holy Acropolis, but there was no pleasant expression on his face.

A thin man hiding in the shadow of the road, bowed to Cumberland on the horse, and said, "My lord, the leader asked me to meet you here. I have been waiting for a long time."

Cumberland sullenly asked the man: "You did the assassination of the city gate chief just now?"

"A little thing, it's not enough." A dagger suddenly appeared in the man's hand~lightnovelpub.net~ and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"The three-way gate guards of the Holy Guard and the guards of the inner city of the palace, the leaders have already planted our people." The man blinked at Cumberland: "You only need to send a team to go. In these places, these important strongholds can be captured without any effort."

Cumberland felt his beard, frowned, and remained silent.

The man reminded him: "My lord, the church's army may come at any time. It is beneficial for us to control the situation earlier! Please don't forget, everything is for the West Kingdom..."

Cumberland frowned for a moment, then turned his head to his adjutant, gritted his teeth and said, "Do as he said!"

Above the bell tower of the Holy Acropolis, two women stood at the top of the tower, looking in the direction of the city gate.

One person said: "Sister, the Twilight Knights have successfully entered the city."

The breeze blew the other person's hood, and the face exposed underneath was exactly what Rachel looked like.

Just listen to Rachel said: "Everything in the Holy Acropolis is developing in the direction we expected. Everything only waits for your Majesty to enter the city, and you can proceed to the second step of the plan..."

"Is that okay?" the first woman asked puzzledly: "We have done so much effort and spent so much thought, but in the end it was a woman who refused to recognize the identity of a different species to obtain the fruit of victory."

Rachel took out a snake-flavored fruit from his arms, smiled and took a bite: "There is nothing wrong with it. If she is smart enough, she naturally knows what to do when..."

"But what if she is not smart enough?"

The fruit in Rachel’s hand was suddenly smashed into shards by mental power: "That would be more interesting...because I have a hundred ways to ruin her reputation, destroy her will, and make her go to **** forever. Unable to escape!"
