Chapter 648 â : Chapter 647: Erosion
Aisha, who had been motionless, let out a low growl when she heard the bell. She suddenly pounced on Francis and the other two.
Francis was shocked and hurriedly raised his hand to parry. However, when he raised his arm, he felt that his chest was pierced by a sharp object. It was so cold that it pierced his bones. His body was violently thrown out and smashed onto the floor.
âDidnât you sayâŠâhe was panicking. He was about to get up from the ground as he angrily questioned Dudian.
However, before he could finish his words, the black shadow attacked his line of sight. With a bang, Francisâs head was twisted off and his body fell down. His expression was still angry as he stared at the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them were killed by Aisha.
Dudian shook the bell in time to stop Aisha from biting one of them. He took out a handkerchief and came in front of her. He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and fingers but there was still a bloody mark.
He turned around and called Richelieu who was guarding the entrance of the hall: âGet Someone to clean up their bodies. Tell them that the dark church attacked the pope and burned them in public.â
Richelieu was surprised as he looked at the corpses on the ground. He didnât expect that the few saints sent by the inner wall would die so quickly. They didnât even hurt Dudian, it was the woman who was always by Dudianâs side. This was definitely the strongest line of defense. It was the most dangerous and beautiful line of defense.
Barton rushed in after Richelieu left. He was relieved to see that Dudian wasnât injured. He was surprised to see the bodies on the ground as well as the broken windows, he asked Dudian: âMaster, Are You Alright? Are they here to assassinate me?â
âYes.âDudian nodded.
Barton didnât expect that these people would climb up from the cliff behind the temple. If he lived here alone then he would have been quietly beheaded.
âFortunately young master you are here. Otherwise I wouldâŠâBarton was grateful to Dudian. Although he knew that if he didnât become Pope then he wouldnât be assassinated but Dudian had saved his life once again, but it was the truth.
Dudian waved his hand: âThe person who wants to hurt you is my enemy. This matter is also because of me. Itâs late. Go to sleep. I will deal with it here.â
Barton looked at the corpses on the ground. The rich smell of blood was pungent. It made his stomach churn. He felt nauseous. But he resisted the urge. How could he sleep after such a big thing happened tonight?
He agreed and left the place. It took courage to stay with the corpses.
âYou have worked hard.âAfter Barton left, Dudian pulled Aisha back to the chair. The coldness on his face had long melted. He was full of tenderness and tenderness as he touched her cold hands, âNext time, they will send stronger people. Fortunately, you are by my side.â
Aisha was expressionless and didnât say anything.
After a while, Richelieu led a team of knights of light into the hall. He dragged the bodies down to deal with them. He called the servants to clean the ground several times to get rid of the smell of blood. Dudian took clean water and cleaned Aishaâs fingers and lips. He took her to the other side of the hall and sat down. He estimated that it was almost time for the other forces to.., most likely they had begun to take action.
After dawn, the bodies of Francis and the others were locked in the prison carriage by the Knights of light. They were paraded in the streets. Countless passers-by gathered around and pointed at them.
The news of the assassination of the Pope quickly spread to the military headquarters and the Knightâs Hall.
âGeneral, I have personally seen it. The faces of these dark cultists have been destroyed. They can not be recognized. Their deaths were tragic. They were not caused by weapons. Instead, it was as if they were torn by something.â
âForcefully torn apart?â
âThatâs right. I even had someone secretly shoot a cold arrow at the corpses. The result was very shocking. The arrow actually did not pierce through the corpses of these people. According to this subordinateâs guess, these peopleâs physiques are most likely at the level of top hunters, or their magic marks are biased towards body strengthening.â
âOh? The arrow actually could not pierce through the corpses? Are you sure?â
âThis subordinate is sure!â
âIt seems that the dark church has sent out all their experts this time. I didnât expect that there would be such a powerful expert hidden in the dark church. Even after death, the arrows couldnât hurt the corpse. If he was still alive, who knows how strong he would beâŠâ
In the Knightâs Hall on the other side, everyone was discussing animatedly.
âThe dark church is so eager to make a move. It seems that the glory of the new pope is not completely fabricated.â
âThis time, they must have sent many experts to assassinate the pope. I didnât expect that all of them would die.â
âThe power of the new pope can not be underestimated. There might be experts hiding by his side!â
âIf we can find out from the dark church which experts they sent, we can roughly know the power of the Radiant Church.â
When Francis and the othersâcorpses were paraded on the streets, the ones who were the most shocked were the dark church members who were hiding in the dark alleys and secretly watching the scene. When they saw the black tattoos on the corpses, they were both disappointed.., they were also excited. They didnât expect the dark cult that they were loyal to to be so awesome. They actually dared to assassinate the pope. Although they failed, it probably scared the pope out of his wits, right?
At the same time, after the elders of the 12th district of the dark cult received the news, they immediately called for an emergency meeting.
âWho sent people to assassinate him?â
âWhich district sent people?â
âWhy didnât they discuss this beforehand? Isnât this alerting the enemy? B * Stard!â
Everyone was angry as they questioned the person who âMade the decisionâ. However after half an hour they found that⊠no one had sent anyone to assassinate the pope.
They were stunned for a moment. Soon someone thought that other forces might have framed the dark church.
At the end of the meeting the elders of the 12th district received a secret letter from Dudian. Everyone was stunned as they looked at each other. They didnât expect that Dudian would send someone to assassinate the pope, dudian was the one who orchestrated this event. Moreover, he was listening to the contents of the secret letter. The purpose of doing so was to pave the way for the rule of the military headquarters and the Knightâs Temple!
Terrible!
After the secret letter was read, the entire meeting room was silent.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Dudian called Barton the next day after Francis and othersâbodies were paraded in public. He ordered Barton to send troops to capture Commander Bryson of the military headquarters. The reason was that he was colluding with the dark church!
