119 Holy Knights (1/2)
Just as Fearless had predicted, Yang Nuo's shroud was indeed able to mask her presence from the system.
When she threw the firecrackers into the into the Grand Cathedral, it ended up being pinned on the nearest players.
Seeing that nothing had happened to her while the Imperial Root players started panicking, Yang Nuo smiled inwardly. After she finished all the firecrackers she had, Yang Nuo ran up to the window and threw a firework directly into the Grand Cathedral!
The difference between the sound created by the fireworks and a firecracker was the same as a bullet and a bomb…
The Imperial Root players immediately fell silent and hurriedly looked around for the troublemaker when they received a message.
<System Notification: Your guild has disrespected the house of the lord. Vatican City merit points -100, NPCs despise you and Holy Knights will attack you on sight.>
<City Announcement: Imperial Root players have disturbed the peace in the Grand Cathedral and are now public enemies of the city. For the next 24 hours, slaying an Imperial Root player awards merit points.>
After reading the announcement, the Imperial Root players almost spat out a mouthful of blood. They were just quietly sitting outside the Grand Cathedral! Who was even provoking who now?
”Master Dawn, what do you do now?” The Imperial Root players hurriedly asked Dawn's First Ray while cursing him in their hearts: ”It's all your fault! If we weren't here waiting for them then this wouldn't have happened in the first place!”
”Even the wisest man will never be free of mistakes!” Dawn's First Ray muttered to himself before lowering his head and trying to think of a solution.
However, the system naturally wouldn't have given Dawn's First Ray any time to strategize as the Holy Knights had already arrived.
These NPCs wore pure white capes and heavy armour and held cross blades that emitted a faint gold radiance.
<Holy Knight (LV-35) (Elite)>
HP: 150000
MP: 150000
Skills: [Holy Judgement], [Cross Slash], [Saint's Recovery], [Charge], [Aura Of Glory].
Looking at these NPCs, even Yang Nuo was standing afar felt her heart tighten. These ordinary NPCs had HP and MP equivalent to that of bosses of the same level! Furthermore, they were a mix of a melee and support job! Wasn't this a bit too much?
”F**k! It's the Holy Knights!”
The members of the Imperial Root were all local players so they knew that aside from the pope's personal soldiers, the Holy Knights were the strongest NPCs in the city!
”Death to the blasphemous!”
The leader of the Holy Knights raised his cross blade into the air and shouted. Following this, a bright ray of light enveloped the knights, causing their imposing aura to soar.
”Cleanse these heathens who dare defile the house of our Lord!”
Receiving the order, the Holy Knights all lowered their heads and rushed towards the Imperial Root players.
”Protect me! I'll compensate those who die!” Dawn's First Ray shrieked as he ran to the back.
The members of Imperial Root were all professional gamers that only joined because of money. In a way, Dawn's First Ray was their boss so if he said he would compensate them then it would naturally be money. Trading an in-game life for money was definitely an acceptable deal.
