Chapter 123 - Departure (1/2)
On the way to Spain, Roy made preparations to fight against the Church of Spain. He had just extinguished one of the fleets of the Spanish Invincible Armada, causing great panic, and he now was going to Spain. It was obvious what a huge impact this would have on the entire country.
Spain was now in its decline. England was gradually replacing it as the supreme maritime power, and its control over its colonies was continuously weakening.
It could be said that the current British were much smarter than the Spanish. At least, there was a huge difference in their attitudes toward Roy, the demon. Driven by their religious beliefs, the Spanish had launched a fearless war against Roy, but the British pretended as though no demon had ever appeared. They knew that Roy had settled on an island in the Caribbean, but they did not care at all. Even the Royal Navy fleets never went near Roy’s waters, so even if Roy wanted to plunder the souls of the Royal Navy, he could not find the target.
After the British used the pirates against the Spanish, they planned to use the demon…
But this time, they did not get what they wanted. In fact, after the destruction of this fleet of the Invincible Armada, all of Spain was shocked. Even though the fanatical believers were clamoring to send a more powerful fleet to kill the demon, the aristocrats realized that if they continued to fight against Demon Osiris, before the British rose, the Spanish might lose their country!
They did not have that many ships in the Invincible Armada that they could destroy the demon…
Therefore, this time, they not only forcefully suppressed the voices of the fanatics, but they also specially investigated the identity of the lich Cassandra.
When they discovered that Lich Cassandra was only born because of a mistaken witch hunt, the aristocrats of Spain hated the church to death! The innocent woman who was burned to death as a witch had died, but her daughter escaped and even attracted a demon from Hell. If they had known that things would develop this way, it would have been better not to have hunted witches.
During the investigation of Cassandra’s identity, they also found Cassandra’s father, the despicable drunkard who had falsely accused his wife. The aristocrats did not dare to criticize the church for its actions, but they tacitly worked with the church to vent their anger on this man. They caught Cassandra’s father and then hanged him like a pirate!
The body of this villain was placed in the port of Spain’s largest port city, hung in the most conspicuous position for an entire week. Not only that, but the news of the execution of this man was posted everywhere in the country.
The Spanish ruling class was terrified. Of course, they understood that Demon Osiris was helping Lich Cassandra take revenge. They had already guessed that there might be a demon contract between the lich and the demon, so it was very likely that the demon and the lich would go to Spain. In order to prevent a battle with the demon from happening again, they had to use this method to convey their attitude.
Yes, you see, we’ve hanged your bastard father, and you’ve already taken revenge, so please don’t bring your demon master here anymore, all right?
They had indeed conveyed their attitude. The moment Roy brought Cassandra onto Spain, Cassandra saw this execution notice. She recognized her father from the portrait and stood in front of it for a long time without saying a word.
In fact, Cassandra had yet to find her hometown at this time because she did not remember where it was at all. It was just a small town close to the coast in Spain.
As for the town in the notice, all the houses had already closed their doors, and there was not even a dog in sight in this town with tens of thousands of people. People were hiding in their homes, trembling and praying non-stop, praying that the demon and lich would not enter the town.
After a long time, Cassandra said to Roy, “Forget it. Let’s go back, Master! Since he’s dead, then my hatred is gone!”
During this time, the power of hatred in Cassandra had been eliminated with her revenge, so Roy did not say anything after feeling her emotions.
