309:
!!!
Russell’s eyes shot open. He looked at the tall, white-haired figure in disbelief.
“My lord!”
“Is it Lady Lilith?”
Although Lilith’s appearance at this time was very different from usual, Russell could vaguely make out from her face that the person before him was the Lady Lilith who was usually hidden behind Prince Shelley.
“My lord! Cough, cough… save the captain and the others.”
“Cough, cough… it’s almost too late.”
Lilith’s hands were now covered in blood. She quickly nodded and asked, “Where are they?”
Russell struggled to point to the tunnel he had come out of and roared with his last bit of strength, “Here.”
“At the end of the tunnel.”
The next moment, a gust of wind blew Russell’s body to the side. He rolled a few times before he stopped.
By the time he struggled to get up, Lilith’s figure was already gone.
Thud.
Russell, who had calmed down, could no longer hold on and fell heavily to the ground.
He understood why there were only Fente’s corpses in the room, and no enemy corpses… The enemy’s corpses had already been turned to blood foam and smeared in every corner of the room.
“Please… you…”
…
The bloody battle in the room was still going on, but it had become a one-sided situation.
The followers of the Hunting Church had the complete upper hand. They had even begun to play with these seriously injured Fente personnel, and their malicious laughter echoed in the room.
“Hahaha…”
“You all look so pitiful. Hahaha.”
“So delicious.”
They tore at the limbs they had plundered from their enemies, destroying their minds in the most brutal way.
Although the bear-man did not quite agree with their practice of playing with their prey, he did not stop them. He needed these followers to destroy the enemy’s spirit and then torture them for information.
He wanted to know who it was. Which force? To be able to be here as if they had foreseen it, and to even try to disrupt their plan.
“We absolutely cannot let them expose the problem my Lord has encountered.”
He had made up his mind. He sent the exhausted captain flying with a palm, and after he landed, he asked, “Who are you?”
“How did you know?”
Cough, cough, cough…
The captain, with the help of others, vomited a huge blood clot from his mouth. He glared at the smug bear-man before him.
“Cough, cough… you beasts, your plan…”
“Will not succeed.”
“You filthy beasts… only deserve to stay in a mass grave full of rotten meat.”
Grrr.
The other hunting followers all bared their teeth, a sound coming from their throats, and glared at this team that was about to collapse.
The bear-man’s expression also became ugly. He no longer hid his disdain and said playfully, “You bunch of trash… even a woman… oh?”
At this point, he seemed to have remembered something and revealed a strange smile.
“Even if you don’t say it, I know where you’re from.”
“Your accent is from the southern kingdoms, and among these countries, there is only one queen…”
“Queen Elena of Fente.”
“Just a woman who killed her father and brother to ascend to the throne.”
In the eyes of outsiders who did not know the situation, Elena’s path to the throne was not so glorious.
The prince had died a violent death, the king had died a violent death, the prince had died a violent death… the entire country was left with only her who was qualified to ascend the throne?
How could it be so coincidental?
Under the effect of various conspiracy theories, she was portrayed as a heartless and ruthless woman. She could kill her father, her brother, her relatives… just to ascend to the throne.
This sentence, which was full of sarcasm, clearly made this group of warriors, who were very respectful of Elena, very angry.
“Shut up.”
The bear-man was very satisfied with their reaction and mocked them even more, “Don’t worry. After you die, we will let her know the price she should pay for angering a divine church.”
“Her subjects, her relatives, everything about her will be hunted down by us.”
“We will let your queen experience the feeling of being hunted. She will live in terror every day.”
“And in the end, she will be dismembered and killed by us. Her head will be made into a wine cup by me, and I will use it to taste her blood.”
An evil laugh echoed in the room, as if in anticipation of the queen’s blood…
“You beast.”
The captain’s eyes were about to split. His eyes were full of blood, but he was powerless to struggle anymore.
Just at this moment…
“I will… uh…”
The constantly speaking bear-man suddenly could no longer speak.
Because… his head had left his body.
Thud.
Gushing blood spurted from his neck and directly hit the ceiling.
A white-haired, blood-red figure appeared in the room. Her terrifying aura made the hunting followers show a look of terror. They wanted to run, but in the next instant, they turned into a pile of minced meat and scattered on the ground.
“The Hunting Order… damn it.”
Lilith’s hands, which had turned into sharp claws, her body, and even her hair were stained with flesh and blood. At this moment, she did not look like a rogue who was famous for her high-end skills, but like a berserker who had opened up a rampage in a crowd of ordinary people.
The killing intent was overwhelming.
Lilith licked the blood on the corner of her mouth with some greed. She took a deep breath and turned to walk out.
“Is it Lady Lilith?”
“Ro… Russell… is he alright?”
Lilith’s footsteps paused. Her ruby-like eyes, which were almost filled with blood, mercilessly swept over the captain and the others. Lilith did not speak, quietly nodded, and then disappeared from their eyes.
…
“Mom… what’s wrong with them?”
The girl was scared by the noise in her ear. She forgot to cry and wanted to see what was happening around her. But the girl did not succeed. Her ears were gently covered by her mother, and her head was gently pressed to her chest.
The girl wanted to struggle, but in the end, she gave up and gradually closed her eyes. She was too young, and also too tired.
Just in this fierce argument, in the center of the square where someone had already started to fight, a strange scene appeared under the bell tower.
A woman was looking up at her husband’s corpse on the bell tower with a tragic expression, holding her sleeping daughter in her arms. Although she was not crying, everyone who saw this scene knew that her heart was crying.
“Why did this happen?”
“Why…”
“Anyone…”
“Someone…”
“Save us!”
Dong.
The huge sound of the bell made the almost-collapsing square fall into a momentary silence. They looked up at the bell tower and saw a scene that they would never forget…
Crack.
The huge bronze bell broke in the middle. A headless, black-clothed corpse flew out from it and then exploded into a blood mist in the sky.
A blood-red figure appeared on the roof of the tower, looking down at the people below with a cold expression. That gaze was cold and crazed, as if looking at… filthy insects.
