Release that Witch Chapter 196: The plague of the church
Lehman and his team rode on the streets of Longsong Stronghold.
After the battle, the residents of the city hid in their homes and couldn't keep their doors closed. Half of the people on the street couldn't see it, and it seemed a bit deserted.
"Sir Lehman, your hands are fine," asked Shield Knight Levin.
"It's not a big problem," Lehman Hawes shrugged. "At least he can move." But this action made his eyebrows suddenly frown.
Last night the door-to-door battle went smoothly. The guards who stayed at the east gate of stronghold were only twenty or so, and the enemy never expected to attack from the city.
Although the horn was sounded, it would take at least a quarter of an hour for the reinforcements to arrive. Fifteen mercenarys who took the pills rushed to the top of the city and killed the guards one by one. Lehman led Knight to start city gate. In the dimness, he didn't notice a side door near the city wall, which killed two guards, one of them slammed at him with a hammer.
In order to turn the winch easily, his weapon is already in his waist. In a hurry, Lehman had to use his arm to resist, almost at the same time, the other side Levin handed out a long sword and pierced into the guard's waist. Affected by this fatal blow, the slamming hammer was less than half the force, but still left a dent on his armband.
Lehman didn't feel much pain at that time. After taking city gate, he found that it was difficult to lift his right arm. He untied the armband, only to see that his forearm was swollen like a rolling pin.
"I hope there are herbs in the church that can relieve pain," said Levin. "They often prepare some weird things."
"For example, Maruko." Another Knight Duane came up and said with a smile.
Thirteen Knights damaged two of them during a night attack, one was seriously injured, and now lying on camp moaning, it is estimated that they can't survive tonight. All in all, such losses are acceptable, Lehman thought. Now that the militia troops have entered the city, stronghold is considered to have completely fallen into their own hands.
After a while, a group of people came to the door of the church. A group of more than a hundred people of militia were on standby here. When they saw Lehman, they all showed a look of longing.
"Give them the pills," Lehman rolled over and dismissed everyone. After seeing everyone taking the pills, he led the team up the stairs and walked towards the main hall.
"Stop," the two gatekeepers yelled, "Holy land, don't wear weapon inside!"
Levin pulled out weapon, both hands handed it over, "I know, will you do it?" Just as the believer reached out to take over the sword, he suddenly held the hilt in one hand and shoved it up, The other two hands fell in response.
"Ah "Before the grievous cry of the believer came out of his throat, Knight pierced his sword into his throat.
Although the nickname of Levin is a strong shield, a fast sword rarely meets rivals.
Another believer also had his throat severed by Duane. Lehman kicked the door open and entered the hall with no expression.
"Who are you?" A middle-aged man in a priest robe with a white edge and a blue edge came forward, facing the **** sword edge without fear, "Dare to break into the church! Children, catch them. Get up! "
Lehman sneers. Most of the townspeople are staying at home now. There are only 20 or 30 believers in the church. In the face of the battle-hardened Knight, the rebels have no choice but to die.
Until he ordered it, Duane had ridiculed his sword and smashed a believer who rushed up. Others soon fought in joining, and the church immediately messed up. Seeing that the situation was not good, the priest shouted, "Children, take down elixir and let gods give you the power to defeat the mob!"
Timothy Your Majesty guessed right, Lehman was a joy, there really are pills here! The believers' eyes suddenly turned red, and blue veins appeared on their faces. In the time of medicinal effect, an ordinary person can burst out of strength and speed beyond the limit of the human body. Unfortunately, it's not just you who owns this kind of thing, he thought, taste your own strength.
"Get out," he yelled, "militia team meets the enemy!"
militia, after hearing this, couldn't wait to swallow Dual colored pill, and then slaughtered with mad believers. Until then, the priest finally changed his face, "Why do you have ...!"
"Is elixir?" Lehman bypasses two groups of people, approaching each other with one sword, "This is the gift of Church's. If it weren't for you, Your Majesty would have unified Greycastle."
"Your Majesty?" The priest widened his eyes, "You are Timothy"
The sound stopped abruptly, the sword in Knight's hand had pierced his chest and penetrated his heart and lungs.
This disparate battle soon ended, and more than 20 believers were slaughtered and their bodies lying on the ground. After the efficacy subsided, the militias made heavy breathing sounds, sat down sat contentedly against the corpse, and didn't mind the blood flowing freely.
Lehman felt his arms heavier and he felt a tear-like pain just now. Sometimes he also wanted to swallow the black pill to make himself ignore the fatigue and pain in his body, but whenever he saw the ugliness of the drug user, the idea was put back.
The two pills sold by Church have a deep understanding of Lehman. For a healthy person, pills can only take effect up to three times, the first time being about a quarter of an hour, and then the duration will be shorter and shorter, and at the same time, a strong dependence will be formed. If you do not take the medicine for a long time, the body will gradually decline until death.
Using this feature, he uniformly let militia eat pills before set off, forcing them to obey their orders, and the thirst for drugs could turn the weakest incompetent farmers into bloodthirsty beasts. Now this is a second time for a hundred people, and they have only used it once.
But ... even if you continue to take medicine after three times, you can only alleviate the pain, but you cannot reverse the process. In other words, as long as the first pill is taken, it is equivalent to having one foot in the coffin. Of course, this point Lehman will not tell this group of people.
There is no doubt that the two-color secret drug is a Church's conspiracy, and Timothy Your Majesty clearly recognizes this, so any Knight is prohibited from using it. But it is also a weapon for the unification of the kingdom, or ... it is a necessity. Without it, Your Majesty cannot beat Garcia Wimbledon, which also has pills.
When I first heard about it from Your Majesty, Lehman was unbelievable. He could n’t understand why Church supported two royal bloodlines to fight for the throne. However, a series of subsequent changes made him more and more agree with Your Majesty's. Judging that this pill was also seen in the Western Region's church. He no longer has any doubts about this. Church does not intend to help any prince to the throne, what they want is the entire Greycastle.
"I have found pills in the basement, four large boxes with thousands of them." After thoroughly scouring the church, Levin reported back happily. "gold royal, jewelry and satin are also many, they should be believers. Donated. "
"Take everything that can be taken away, and burn everything that can't be taken," Lehman instructed. "Anyway, this is all done by Roland Wimbledon. We just help Church suppress the rebellion."
Since secret drug must be provided by Church, it is not the time to completely rip off the skin, and pushing to Fourth Prince is considered dead. In order not to make Church suspicious, Your Majesty himself stayed at north, pretending to be an illusion of obeying the other party's instructions, but sent himself to carry a small amount of Knight, and recruited a large number of militia to seize Western Region.
Church's forces are now concentrated in Kingdom of Wolf Heart, and there is no time to ignore situation on this side. Therefore, Greycastle must be unified as soon as possible in order to extract power to resist Church's attack. Timothy Your Majesty believes that it is a matter of time before they attack Greycastle. Store and collect as many pills as possible. At the same time, he also ordered Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association to study the secret drug component and try to imitate it as soon as possible.
Now that the pill is in hand, the only remaining step in this mission is to completely destroy Roland Wimbledon. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start casting, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read.)
