Chapter 246: New Objective - Part 2 (1/2)

Arina healed the surviving Royal Knight. Of course, she was not healing them completely, she healed them so they did not die, just that. Then the Royal Knights were locked in a building.

The High Cleric kept following the man who was her Master now. The atmosphere around him was heavy and gloomy, affecting the others too, especially his party member.

The red-haired girl had told her Master how the young girl died. But there was no change in his expression, he did not blame anyone either. The man just gathered in a building.

Arina stood behind her master and lowered her head. She was the healer but she could not heal Delia because she instantly died when the sword pierced her heart. But she felt guilty as she kept lowering her head.

Tang Shaoyang was also staring at the ground, a scene replayed in his head. It was the excited Delia who showed him the big bed in the inn.

He did not vent his frustration to his subordinate for failing to protect her. It was his incompetence who failed her, he could not protect her. If he returned early or if he returned together with Chief Rick, Delia would still be alive.

He was blaming himself, not his subordinate. He regretted he could not return early, but he knew drowning in remorse would not bring her back alive. He had to move forward, and of course, revenge was a must.

Arina then saw her Master looking at her. She did not dare to meet his emotionless eyes. He did not look like someone who was angry but she could feel the man was holding up his fury behind his emotionless eyes.

”Do you know anything about the Royal Knight? If you know something, you better spill it out, everything,” His voice was flat and toneless, but she felt apprehensive.

Taking a deep breath, she started to speak, of course, she knew the Royal Knight. People who lived in Waskin City knew them.

”They are the city's force, Waskin Family's force. Compared to Guardian Knight, they are lacking, but they are an elite force who graduated from the academy.”

”Waskin Family? The Lord of the Waskin City, do you mean?” He continued with a question.

”Yes, Royal Knight is a direct force under Lord Roman's order. Only The Lord could order them directly,” Arina nodded her head.

”Then, do you know the relationship between the Waskin Family and the Church? Are they related in any way?” More questions came from Tang Shaoyang.

”I don't know if they related, but the Church usually needs the Lord's consent to build a church. We normal people don't know much about the backstory behind the two forces,” Arina shook her head.

'I thought these Royal Knights were from Realm Tower, but why did the Lord meddle? Why do they hunt us too?' Tang Shaoyang was trying to find out whether the two forces were related, but it was pointless.

'Nah, whether they are related or not, that does not matter,' Tang Shaoyang shook his head and scanned his subordinates, ”We changed our goal, we are not going to survive but to slaughter. Our target is the Church and– Nah, our target is to destroy Waskin City, we will slaughter everyone under the Waskin Family and anything related to the Church!”

Arina was shocked when she heard the man made the declaration. While the cleric was in disbelief, Tang Shaoyang's subordinates had expected this. Three of them had experienced how scary their Boss was when someone tried to hurt his people, killing his girl? That was the trigger that should be never triggered, at least that was his opinion.

”When will we attack them, Boss?” Fan Rui was the first one to ask. The young man seemed to want to fight as well.
