Noble Emblem

Less than half an hour later, a very elite heavy armored infantry regiment, numbering at least a thousand people, was gathered together. They crossed the streets of the royal city at extremely fast speeds, and any pedestrians who were blocked on the road or could not be avoided, They were all chopped down to the ground.

With this indomitable momentum, they directly surrounded the Temple of Hades.

It was still late at night, with the waning moon like a hook, and the smooth steps in front of the Temple of Hades reflected the cold moonlight. There were more than a dozen believers standing on them, facing the dense crowd of heads in front of the temple. Although they were expressionless, but from their Judging from the almost frozen atmosphere around them, the tension in their hearts was no less than when prey meets a hunter.

In the secret room of the temple's underground cemetery, the second prince Igraz and Arnold stood face to face.

The magic crystal lamp in the secret room flickered on and off because its energy was almost exhausted, and Arnold's bald head was like a light bulb, flickering on and off.

"The Grand Prince's army is coming." Arnold sighed longly: "I told you not to go out to inquire for information casually. Even the most powerful assassins or stalkers will make mistakes sometimes."

The second prince waved his hand, with a hint of impatience on his handsome face: "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. What should we do next? Those coming from outside must be the soldiers of the regicide. If it were on the plains, I would It’s not that I’m afraid of him, but now in the city, my knights have no way of fighting him.”

"In other words, except for the believers in our temple, you have no way to fight!" Arnold chuckled, looking very sarcastic, and his bald head seemed to become brighter and brighter: "Our temple has really chosen a troublesome ally. ah."

The second prince chuckled and said sarcastically: "There are no true allies or true friends in this world. Even family ties will be eclipsed in the face of power. I know you look down on me, but in fact I have not let you go. In the eyes, but now the two of us can sit here and talk calmly. It’s nothing more than interests.”

"Yes, interests." Arnold patted his bald head, his eyes full of teasing: "Second prince, you are very sensible, as sensible as your elder brother. Family love can't stop rights? Interesting, then little Princess Emma is in your heart , what exactly is its status?”

After a moment of silence, the second prince said: "Emma is a good sister. I like her very much. If she doesn't go against me, she will be my good sister for life."

"Does power still come first after all?" Arnold laughed, and the voice seemed to be a mockery from the underworld: "Unlike you, my Sophie is not my biological daughter, but she is my biological daughter. Our temple will Get salvation to help you escape from the necropolis, and the person who takes you away is Sophie. She will leave with you. God of the Underworld, Sophie is still too young, and she should not go to the underworld to meet the goddess too early."

"If your relationship is strong, I don't think she will leave the temple. Nor will she leave you." The second prince said with a sarcastic smile: "So I think you must choose another person to take us away. The tunnels in the cemetery are winding and winding, and I know that no one can leave without you leading the way."

Arnold didn't care about the second prince's sarcastic tone. The followers of Hades didn't pay much attention to the opinions of outsiders. He snorted and said, "The only person who can leave the temple is Sophie."

"I won't leave." A clear voice sounded, and Sophie walked in from outside. She stared at her father and said: "Archbishop, I will not leave. After all, I am your daughter. What will others think of you if I leave."

"It doesn't matter what others think of me." Arnold shielded Sophie and said angrily: "I am the archbishop, you are just an ordinary believer. If I ask you to leave, you just leave. This is an order."

Sophie scratched her neck stubbornly and replied: "I won't leave. Even if you beat me to death, I won't leave."

"You." Seeing that his daughter was so ignorant, he raised his palm in anger and slapped his daughter hard on the face: "What are you making a fuss about? If I ask you to leave, you have to leave, otherwise you won't do it again." Say you are my daughter."

Sophie touched her red and swollen face and was about to say something else when Arnold slapped the other side of Sophie's face again. He said coldly: "If you don't leave, I will kill you now. Rather than let those beasts If I want to hurt you, it’s better for me to do it myself.”

Two slaps hit her face. Sophie didn't feel much pain in her face, but her heart ached. Growing up, even if she was naughty, her father would only scold her and never hit her. But now the slaps were harder than the last, and she understood that her father was angry to the core.

"Father!" Sophie's tears fell like pearls: "I really don't want to leave you."

"Take the second prince and get out of here now." Arnold pointed to the secret passage outside and said in a cold tone: "Otherwise I will beat you to death now. If you still have any feeling of father and daughter, don't let me do this. thing."

In the teachings of Hades, it is a forbidden matter for relatives to kill each other. If there is no special reason, the soul of a follower of Hades who kills his relatives will be hung on the Wall of Sighs by the goddess forever, and will be blown by the evil wind forever. Howling in pain, endless.

Sophie sniffed, wiped away her tears, then turned to look at the second prince, gritted her teeth and said, "Follow me."

The second prince who was watching the show smiled and said to Arnold: "Archbishop, don't worry, as long as I can ascend the throne, I will definitely make the Temple of Hades the state religion."

"This contract has been certified by the goddess. I'm sorry you don't dare to go back on it." Arnold said coldly, then looked at his daughter Sophie: "You can leave now."

With an indifferent tone and an air of disgust, Sophie looked at him and bit her teeth gently. She didn't say anything, she just hooked her hand to the second prince and then left the secret room.

After Arnold waited for his daughter to leave, he looked at his hands, and then slapped them on the wall viciously, several times in a row. He didn't stop until his hands were red and swollen.

"I actually hit my daughter with these hands!"

With regret and pain, Arnold also left the secret room. He decided to turn all the unventable depression and pain in his heart into murderous intent. He would attack the soldiers outside and kill as many as possible. Their souls were all crushed to pieces.

Sophie and the second prince walked quickly through the secret passage. Ignaz tried to talk to her, but received no response.

Halfway through the walk, the two met a young man. When the young man saw Sophie, he stopped and looked at her steadily.

It was very dark in the secret passage, and there was indifference and slight hostility in the young man's eyes. When Sophie passed by him, he whispered: "The source of disaster, you brought everything."

When Sophie heard this, she trembled, but she did not stop and continued walking forward.

The second prince looked back at the young man, but he didn't ask anything and continued to follow Sophie.

Outside the temple door, the priests blocking the door were sweating profusely.

Opposite them, at least two hundred strong bows were drawn, and as long as the other party gave an order, these arrows would be shot. Although most of them know the magic of 'Defense Arrows', this magic has a maximum number of attacks. A single salvo can break their magic. How many people can survive in the world? Still unknown.

"eight!"

The commander of the great prince was counting down the days. The negotiation just now made him understand one thing. There was no point in trying to reason with the headstrong priests of the temple.

"seven."

The priests had more sweat on their brows.

"six."

With every countdown, the commander's aura would become stronger by two points, while the priests on the opposite side became more and more demoralized.

"No need to count." A heroic voice came from the temple. Arnold strode out. He looked at the army under the steps of the temple, looked at the gleaming arrows, and then looked at the opponent's commander, and said slowly: " The second prince’s army has left.”

The commander glanced at him, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips: "Five."

Arnold looked at the commander and found that his expression was very determined. He took a deep breath, and then roared: "Do it."

Fiery black mist burst out from his body, and then the black mist turned into ugly black skulls and crashed into the army below the steps.

When the priests saw this, they also took action. In an instant, the black magic power absorbed the moonlight in the entire area.

"Attack!" The commander drew his long sword, pointed forward, and roared: "The magician dispels the darkness."

Since we are going to besiege the Temple of Hades, we will naturally bring light magicians here. The two magicians hidden in the army began to chant spells, and a large round ball of light rose above each head, instantly erasing the darkness without a trace.

"Kill, leave no one behind."

The long sword in the commander's hand swung forward heavily, and two hundred strong bows fired out the first wave of arrows. The heavy armored infantry, holding their shields, charged shoulder to shoulder.

High in the sky, Jeanne d'Arc, who had just finished her rest, was hovering. At this time, Liang Lidong was also resting. He suddenly jumped up, put on his magic robe, and rushed towards the Temple of Hades.

Sophie took the second prince and his cavalry regiment forward in the secret passage. There were layers of gray-yellow skulls on both sides of the secret passage. Those skulls were within their reach. They were all soldiers and were not afraid of dead bodies, let alone skeletons. But there were too many skulls here, so many that it was scary. They were piled one on top of another, layer upon layer, countless.

Looking at such a scene, no matter how bold the knights were, they remained silent.

The second prince followed Sophie, and he looked at Sophie's back with interest... This was a girl with a good figure. Although she was not as beautiful as his little sister, she had a different flavor.

The secret passage in the cemetery seems long and far to outsiders, but to insiders it is only a few minutes away.

Sophie pointed to the end of the dark secret passage ahead and said, "That's the exit. You guys should go quickly."

The second prince looked at her: "What about you?"

"I want to go back to be with my father."

Sophie smiled coldly at the second prince, then turned and left. (To be continued.)
