Chapter 640 (1/2)
In the early morning, the sky of red blood castle was hanging high, and the Dark Dawn could not be seen on the eastern horizon.
Or... This is the darkest moment of the day.
The fire in the cathedral still had no sign of ending, and even intensified, from the original several places to a sea of fire, covering the whole cathedral and the surrounding houses.
Charlotte Turin, standing on the sword, stared silently at the burning Cathedral in front of her, as if she wanted to engrave the scene in her sight deeply in her heart and in the deepest part of her soul.
As the head of the red blood castle, he sat and watched the bain Cathedral be captured and destroyed by the heretic Church... This stain, which has never happened to the Turin owners of all ages, appeared on himself.
What a loss of face?
How will the Knights of Byrne evaluate themselves, and what will the descendants of the Turin family evaluate themselves a hundred years later?
Clenching the handle of the sword in her hand, Charlotte, who was pale, breathed deeply.
”Count...” behind Charlotte, Charles came forward in a hurry, and his fatigue could not be covered under his eyes: ”it's very late now, you'd better go back to the Palace first...”
”How's the situation?” Charlotte, with her sword eyebrows raised, was as dignified as ever, but her equally tired voice was a little weak: ”have the priests and nuns in the cathedral been settled?”
”Most of them were temporarily settled in the red blood Castle palace, and a few injured people were asked to find a place nearby for temporary cultivation.” Charles answered calmly and sighed slightly:
”As for the rest, we can only wait until the fire in the cathedral weakens a little, and then think of a way to send people to search and rescue.”
Charlotte nodded slightly, but she also understood that the ”search and rescue” in Charles's mouth was only a euphemism for ”collecting the body” - it was absolutely impossible for anyone in the whole cathedral to survive after a raid and a fire; Even if there is, I'm afraid I've already found a way to end myself in such a desperate situation.
”What about the Archbishop? Has anyone found the Archbishop?”
”Archbishop... A priest claimed to have heard the Archbishop praying at the altar before he escaped.” Charles nodded slightly. ”At present, I'm afraid he has returned to the embrace of the Holy Cross.”
Charlotte nodded and said nothing - you don't have to think about it. When this is over, the Turin family will face the most severe criticism from the angry Holy Cross Church.
Of course, compared with the problems she is facing now, the church's criticism can only be classified as trivial and irrelevant things, which are only to be considered in the future.
”What about him... Loren Turin, have you heard from him?” the countess pondered for a moment, her eyes dodging.
”I'm sorry, but according to the information I got, Lord Loren is still in the cathedral.” the red blood Castle housekeeper said politely, ”as for the current situation... It should be unknown.”
Life and death are unknown
Hearing this reply, the countess tried to calm her expression as much as possible, pretending to be indifferent and said, ”really, what else do I need to know about the current situation of red blood castle?”
”At present, the city is not very stable. Although several red blood Castle nobles who participated in heresy and rebellion have been eliminated as much as possible, there are still many fish that have escaped the net. I'm afraid they have...”
At this moment, a loud cry and footsteps came from behind the countess, and dozens of figures waving weapons and torches and dancing could be seen at the end of the street.
They wore different types of armor and had all kinds of weapons except torches, even kitchen knives in the kitchen and flail harrows in the farmers' homes.
This group of people were in a flustered pace and disordered formation. Except for the first dozens of people who were ”in line”, almost all the rest could only barely catch up; It makes people wonder if they could run from the other end of the street without torches and a few old swallow tail flags.
Look at the posture of these people, even the conscripts in the countryside of red blood castle are more like an army than them.
”They... This is a riot?” Charlotte silk did not hide her contempt from the corners of her eyes, and her expression was like looking at a group of mole ants: ”ready to overthrow the evil count of red blood castle by taking the opportunity of the martial law of the army on the city wall?”
”I'm afraid so, count.” the grey pupil boy on one side pulled out his double swords and also showed a sarcastic sneer: ”what are you going to do with them?”
”Why do you ask?”
