Chapter 441: Thousands of miles to help, the empire’s witch hunt

In the city of kerosene, in a laboratory in the manor, Linn was thinking and listing formulas. The night passed before he knew it, and his thoughts were not interrupted until the morning by a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lin En rubbed his head, his thoughts were gradually freed from the large number of formulas, and he looked at the door.

"Mr. Dean," it was Peirce who walked through the door.

"What's the matter?" Linn asked.

"It's news from within the empire. Speaker Harrov asked me to ask what you mean." Peirce said hesitantly.

"empire?"

Lin En couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and many speculations flashed through his mind.

It’s unlikely that the Holy See will launch another massive attack, right?

If that happens, it proves that [Ella] has found a way to crack the nuclear explosion technique, which is undoubtedly the worst news.

Fortunately, Peirce quickly explained that it was not the Holy See that launched the attack, but the propaganda of priests and bishops within the empire that led to the most terrifying witch hunt in history!

Although wizards were originally hunted and disliked within the empire, capable wizards could still get by as long as they did not reveal their magic, engage in evil human body research, or engage in sensational activities such as sacrifices.

Going down.

Those who do well will cooperate with the local nobles and help them deal with some shady matters, while those who are almost like his mentor Ke Lu, create an identity to deceive some wealthy apprentices to support his magic research.

However, with the spread of doomsday theories, the fear of wizards among believers and ordinary people has become increasingly intensified, and the nobles no longer dare to take huge risks to continue to cooperate, which has led to a large number of wizards hiding in the dark being dug out.

According to the spies' reports, dozens of killings of wizards have occurred in the Western Region alone.

"Now many wizards are preparing to flee to the kingdom. A mutual aid organization for wizards has even been established in the Western Region. The parliament is considering whether to send an airship to pick them up." Peirce truthfully told all the information he had heard.

Linn hesitated and sent an airship into the empire. This was undoubtedly a very dangerous move!

They are still at war with the Holy See, but in the past half month, the other side has no intention of large-scale counterattack and has tended to temporarily cease the war.

This is obviously a deterrent established by the large-scale nuclear explosion technique, which makes the Holy See fearful and dare not launch an attack without knowing their details.

As for the parliament, it's the same. Now the only trump card in his hand is nuclear explosion. The reserves of uranium 235 can only be used to cast nuclear explosion magic once more and cannot be used easily.

The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is to them. On the one hand, the mining of uranium ore is the preparation for war and the promotion of legends on the other hand.

Sending airships to enter the country now is very likely to anger the Holy See and directly lead to the outbreak of a new round of war.

"Master Dean, do you want to reject this motion?" Alok asked cautiously.

Lin En's choice is undoubtedly very critical. Although most members now believe that they need to send people to ask for help, if the dean insists on objecting, this bill will most likely not be passed.

After all, Lin En, who was able to release nuclear explosions and kill the incarnation of the false god, had become the wizards' trump card, and his words were sometimes even more critical than the Speaker.

"Let's rescue!" Lin En thought for a while and made a decision. "If we don't even dare to enter the country for rescue, the Holy See will only think that we are bluffing."

"This may be a test by the other party, you must fight back!" Lin En said decisively.

"Okay!" Alok was extremely happy and reported immediately.

As an enterprising wizard, he naturally agreed to fight back fiercely against the Holy See who dared to kill wizards.

After receiving Lin En's affirmative answer, the Council no longer delayed and immediately dispatched more than twenty airships, escorted by new fighter planes, to the empire for rescue immediately!

…

At noon, in the western part of the empire, a dense forest was crowded with people, screaming, wailing and fighting.

"Kill these demon minions, the spreaders of doom..."

The leading archbishop shouted loudly, and a large number of knights around him had already loaded their crossbows. For a moment, a sharp rain of arrows appeared in the dense forest.

Most of the arrows were blocked by spells, or were shot into tree trunks and shrubs, but they were not without success. A small apprentice was unable to dodge, and was penetrated by several arrows in the back.

The man rolled and fell to the ground, and lost his voice in an instant.

"Amon!" The elder witch was stunned. Fire surged around her body, condensing into several fireballs, and flew out with a harsh scream.

The violent explosion tore apart a dozen knights in front, but at the next moment, more crossbow arrows flew out from the smoke and fire, and together with the holy light impact cast by the three bishops, the witch's body protection was broken, and the witch was killed.

It exploded into a ball of blood mist.

Seeing the sacrifice of the official wizards and being unable to even slightly block the opponent's offensive, the fleeing wizards felt a sense of fear.

The continuous rain of arrows continued. Probably because they were afraid of the powerful and strange witchcraft of the wizards, the knights did not come forward to fight in close combat, but continued to use arrows and crossbows from a distance to consume their magic power.

From time to time, some people fell behind due to exhaustion, or fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

"Lord Lucas, what should we do now?" Several fleeing wizards asked anxiously, knowing that everyone would die here if this continues.

"Those damn traitors!" The wizard named Lucas also shouted and cursed.

Originally, they formed the mutual aid association in order to deal with the increasingly severe pursuit of the Holy See, and planned how to safely escape to the Kingdom of Hadhrata, which was said to be run by wizards.

But they didn't expect that there was a traitor inside who betrayed the location of their gathering. The church had already sent people to ambush there, and they all came out while they were discussing. After a series of fierce battles, more than 300 wizards and a large number of apprentices were killed.

There were heavy casualties, and only about a hundred people escaped.

Lucas was furious, but he had no choice but to comfort him.

"Everyone, please hold on a little longer. As long as we escape to the City of Fire and Oil, we will be safe. That is the territory of the wizards."

"When we get there, we no longer have to worry about being hunted by the Holy See, and we don't have to hide our identities. We can perform magic openly..." Lucas kept talking about the wonderful life in the future.

Although he is still not sure whether the news is true, he must stabilize the situation now. If everyone loses hope, then they will really be doomed.
