498 The Executioner in the Sacred City (2/2)
”For example, Mr. Rommel of Silence Governance, Mr. Alfonso, or the 'Eternal Nightmare' who was the third prince of the Kingdom of Asgard, the immortal Angelina, Kaspar Hauser, or the 'Fierce Humanoid Beast,' who was the strongest musician of scepter, Astrid, or the 'Fireman' of the Door of Ruin, and her cousin Samuel who died in the Auschwitz…”
”Finished?” Ye Qingxuan said.
Nora thought for a while and said, ”Actually, there is one more guy who is called the 'Executioner.' His name was in fact listed on the name list of Silver. But since he was involved in the assassination of the Pope, so his name was wiped out.”
”'Executioner'?” Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan had a strange feeling but he could not tell why.
”Yes, the 'Executioner in the Sacred City,' Ye Qingxuan,” Nora replied.
Bang!
Suddenly, Nora heard a huge sound from behind his back. He turned around and saw Ye Qingxuan standing up from the ground. He was stunned and asked, ”What happened, sir?”
”Nothing.”
Ye Qingxuan lowered his head and brushed the dust off his clothes. ”I was just amazed by what you said just now, and somehow lost my balance and fell onto the ground.”
”I see.” Nora nodded.
The Executioner in the Sacred City? Seriously? Am I so notorious that people in this city even call me an executioner?
”It is absolutely abhorrent!” Ye Qingxuan rolled his eyes. Maybe I have become as notorious as a rat now.
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan stopped walking.
”What happened? Sir?”
”Something is not right,” Ye Qingxuan said and waved his hands. The moonlight perception threads appeared on the tips of his fingers and began to extend forward. At the same time, Ye Qingxuan's facial expression grew strange.
This had happened more than once during this journey. Seeing Ye Qingxuan's facial expression, Nora could not help asking, ”Could it be another illusion this time?”
”No!” Ye Qingxuan shook his head. ”This time, it is the Holy Temple Knight Group.”
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The earth began to shake. The steel and iron inserted into wall had gotten twisted, and on the tip of the steel and iron, blood had dried.
Outside the door, devils were screaming.
”This is a trap! This is a trap!” The dying knight tightly pulled Vasco's collar and shouted, ”Don't you understand? They lured us here so they could kill us all! Run! Run!”
He was almost begging, ”You should leave now, otherwise…”
Bang!
Outside the church, there was something pounding at the iron door like crazy.
The sound of the collision of steel and iron was very piercing. The dust on the door fell into the pool of blood.
The torch of hydrargyrum on the shoulder pauldron of the knight's armor was shining in a cold light, lighting up the dried corpses that had been nailed to the wall. Every ounce of liquid in the priests had dried up, and their bodies had been torn. They trembled from time to time with the knocking on the wall.
On the platform, the officiant's head had been penetrated by a long rusty spear. It was looking at the Knights of the Holy Temple and smiling at them.
Half an hour earlier, the Sacred City had turned chaotic.
The whole city had not changed into the wartime state, even the defensive line of Armageddon had not been set up.
As soon as the sound of Hyakume began to echo in the air, the two groups of knights who were camping inside the Sacred City were attacked. After they made their way out, they received the SOS from their temporary headquarters.
However, when they arrived at the temporary headquarters, they were shocked by the scene.
Nobody was in the temporary headquarters, and the roof and walls were covered with dried corpses.
This was a trap!
Now the knights of holy temple had been trapped in this church.
The stimulant had lost its effect, and the dying knight, half of whose body had been cut through, finally lowered his head and stopped breathing.
Vasco reached out his hand and helped him close his eyes.
”May your soul rest peace in heaven and never feel lonely.” Vasco sighed.
