Chapter 403: Frightening Facts
Luo You knew very well that there was no death in the battle just now, and as long as Hei Yao's bullet hit the exorcist, he would have a bloody feud with the church.
But Luo You had no choice. Now the church is going to take action first and insists on killing the "heretic" Scia in their eyes.
If Luo You alone is alone, he can seek political conversations as a "captain of the Red Army of the Republic" and believe that the Cross Church will not take huge diplomatic risks to attack him.
But it is different to target Sesia. As the queen of vampire, Sesia is a taboo in the Cross Church, and the church has full reasons to kill.
This is equivalent to letting Luo You choose, either give up Sethia or take Sethia out.
As an important entourage of Luo You, the first option is not considered, so there is only the second one.
If there was a dead person on one side, Luo You would not think of it and would not be the dead person.
However, things did not develop as expected. Just as Luo You were about to shoot this bullet, a voice suddenly sounded from the back of the knight array. The sound was very soft, but it was hidden with irresistible majesty, as if it had torn apart the entire space and rang directly in the mind: "Put down the weapon, my knights."
When the sound rang out, the knights who wanted to fight back their weapons and knelt down in one knee like waves on the sea, bowing their heads several times. Even Lancelot, who was fighting with Sethia, took a step back, turned around and knelt on one knee, and held his right hand in front of his chest to salute.
Behind the Knights' array, in the solemn marching procession, a huge throne was being carried by 16 powerful servants and slowly moved forward. It was made of pure sacred silver, exuding a breath of fear for evil creatures, and the heavy pressure was like its huge mass, and vastness came.
On the throne, Nero II wore a white papal robe made of unicorn fur and a sacred cross crown on her forehead. Her fair skin was even worse than the severe winter snow. She sat proudly on the throne, revealing the indifference that kept people from thousands of miles away, and even unwilling to contact the wasteland below her. Even when traveling, she had to keep her body away from the world and just overlooked all living beings.
After the marching team stopped, the commander of the Cross Church Legion, Ho Anlison, respectfully walked up to the throne, knelt on one knee next to Nero, stretched out his hand covered with heavy black armor, and after Nero's little hand was put on, he gently pulled her.
Nero stood in front of the throne, and occasionally a pure white veil passed by Xiu's feet. The eyes without any emotional fluctuations glanced at the array of knights like black clouds, and their eyes crossed the dark ocean and fell on Luo Yu and Sethia.
After watching for a while, Nero's eyes moved slightly toward Hoanlison beside him.
Hoan Risen understood and gracefully performed a knight's salute, with a soft curve on the corners of his lips, acting as Nero's spokesperson: "Mr. Luo You, a friend from the East, I regret your current experience."
Luo You was sure that Ho Anlison was smiling, gracefully without any hostility, and that temperament was exactly the same as the noble Lancelot, but for some reason, he felt uncomfortable when he saw this person, for no reason.
Luo You was silent for a while, Hei Yao turned around in his hand, gave up aiming and shooting, but he still held it in his hand, and sneered: "It turns out that I am still a friend of the church, and your hospitality is very special."
"In the name of Nero, the spokesperson of the Lord, retreat, knights." Hoanlison waved his hand in black armor in the air, and the knights in front slowly retreated to both sides like the Red Sea that Moses split.
After the knights separated the array, there was no obstacle between the two sides, especially the dangerous vampire like Sethia, who was present. This distance was just one breath and could easily attack Nero.
It is impossible for Ho Anlison to not know this, but his courage to do so can only prove that the Legion commander is confident that he will not let this happen.
"The knights have the responsibility and obligation to protect the land of the Lord, and fight against heresy with long swords and courage. They are not wrong. Of course, neither do you, it's just that we have different understandings of faith." Hoanlison's art of speaking is very wonderful, which not only preserves the self-esteem of the knights, but also does not violate Luo You.
Luoyou winked at Scia, who sneered and bared the fangs in his mouth, turned into bats and disappeared into the air, returning to Luoyou's evolutionary tree map.
This can also be considered as the two sides taking a step back to avoid escalating conflicts.
"This time, the church not only wants to thank you, but perhaps apologize to you." Soon, after the crisis was lifted, Hoan Risen cleverly changed the subject, "We didn't realize that there was a problem with the informant, which led to you in danger."
Luo You's attention was also attracted, and he frowned and said, "What's going on with that little wild cat?"
If Ho Anlison hadn't talked about this topic publicly before, after all, the fewer people know the identity of the informant, the better. But now she is dead, there is nothing to hide: "She was the informant who was installed in the oath abandoner many years ago. She has been learning about the information for us, but it is unknown when she rebelled, maybe a few days ago, maybe a few months ago, or maybe the moment she headed to Merritt."
Suddenly, Hoan Lisen paused for a moment and said deeply: "Of course, rather than a rebellion, we feel that she was eroded by evil forces."
"High-level vampires have the ability to capture blood servants, just like your entourage, but her level of blood servants are all creatures without autonomous consciousness. After being killed, they are stored in their bodies in blood." What Ho Anlison said was obviously the monsters summoned by the "Queen Army Force", a group of walking corpses without autonomous consciousness.
"But the vampire at the top of the ancestor can interpret the "first embrace" to humans and give the power of the human blood clan. After the first embrace, these humans still have their own independent consciousness and memory, but they can no longer resist the blood suppression brought by the ancestor, and even more so, they cannot resist the temptation of blood." When Huoanlison mentioned the little wild cat, his expression became a little sad, "I'm sorry, our informant was taken away from the embrace of the Lord."
According to what Huoanlison said, the little wild cat was "firstly embraced" by the ancestor at a certain point, which means that when she first met Luo You, she was not a human, but a vampire controlled by the ancestor.
Then the next thing is not difficult to understand. From the very beginning, the trap set by the little wild cat. She is just a poor worm at the mercy of the ancestor.
Hoanlison continued: "As for poor Merritt, we have been receiving false information from informants, mistakenly thinking that it was a city. In fact, Merritt had become a dead city several years ago, with only loess and corpses left."
Luo You couldn't help but frown: "But I saw an underground city there."
"Your eyes deceived you." Hoan Risen said this sentence deeply.
Luo You was silent. If Merritt's scene was an illusion created by the ancestors from the beginning, he had just entered a realm of mind control, that is, those who saw the oath guards, the bustling streets, the busy citizens, the stall owners chasing cheese, and the owners of hotels were all illusions.
Merritt was a huge cemetery at that time. The only living people were Luo You and the little wild cat. No, strictly speaking, Luo You were the only "people"...
