Chapter 278 Death of the Pope
"My lord, they won't open the city gate!"
Among the mighty Jiama country's army, some soldiers trotted forward to report.
In front of the soldier is a knight in heavy armor.
His name was Moli, he belonged to the Southern Legion of the Gamma Kingdom, and was a retainer of Grand Duke Anderson.
This time to kill Oran, he represented Grand Duke Anderson.
Due to Oran's heavy losses and the fact that he is now a "walking crown", everyone wants to get his head, so the Gama Kingdom army that was united before, acted separately.
Its name is chasing and intercepting, but in fact it wants to strike first.
They had agreed that only the dukes of the Jiama Kingdom could participate in this hunting game, and if someone got the "crown", no one else could snatch it.
So these grand dukes didn't want to conflict with their own people before they met the people of Oran.
The division of troops is inevitable. After all, there are only tens of thousands of people left in Oran. No one does not look forward to this throne.
However, it is naturally impossible for the Grand Dukes to play in person. Their lives are precious, so they basically send their retainers to lead the army.
For example, Grand Duke Anderson handed over the military power of the 100,000 army to Moli.
One hundred thousand troops might not sound like much, but it was enough for Oran, who had only tens of thousands of remnants.
It's just that Moli just got some news about Oran and was about to pass through Waya City, but they didn't open the city gate.
There is a mountain on the left of Waya City, and a lake on the right. It happens to block the only road nearby. If you don't go from here, you need to take a detour, at least six or seven days longer.
This is unacceptable to Molly who just got the news from Oran.
So Molly asked sharply:
"Huh? Why don't you let us go there! Didn't you make it clear that we are going to hunt down and kill those nasty Barker bandits?"
"Reporting to my lord, I said that we are going to hunt and kill the bandits from the Buck Kingdom, but they still won't let them go..."
The soldier spoke nervously,
He was afraid of being punished.
But fortunately, Molly is not an unreasonable person, he turned to another knight and asked:
"This Waya City is the territory of that nobleman?"
The knight thought for a while and returned:
"It seems to belong to Duke Harper..."
"It's him!"
Hearing Duke Harper's name, Molly frowned.
There are five legions in the Gamma Kingdom, namely the East, South, West, North and Central Legions.
The Central Legion was directly under the King of the Gama Kingdom, and ranked first in strength. However, after Kaili and Oran's surprise attack, they suffered heavy losses, and the number one position was obviously lost.
The Eastern and Southern Legions belong to the second echelon.
The weakest ones are the Western Legion and the Northern Legion. Ironically, these two weakest legions guard the borders with the Buck Kingdom and the Luoyan Kingdom respectively.
Among them, the Northern Legion has already been wiped out by Zhang Feng and Aolan in the Buck Kingdom. In other words, there are only four Legions left in the current King Gamma. crippled.
And the Southern Legion where Molly belonged was very powerful, with a total of more than one million troops, but these one million troops were not controlled by one person, but were jointly managed by three people.
Archduke Harper and Archduke Anderson are two of them, and they are old rivals.
When besieging Sturt City, they might still be able to maintain a consistent external relationship, but when faced with the temptation of the throne, it is obvious that they cannot fight hand in hand. After all, there is only one throne, and they all want it.
If Grand Duke Harper blocked the road deliberately, Molly would have nothing to do.
In any case, we all belong to the same country, and it is okay to compete secretly, but if you do it directly, it will break the rules.
"Forget it, let's take a detour! Detour to Nuosha City!"
In a moment, Molly made a decision.
After finally getting the clues of Oran, they couldn't give up, and at worst they would hang around for a while.
"Within three days, you must go to Nuosha City!"
Molly gave the order.
The knight wanted to say something, but seeing Molly's face, he finally didn't dare to speak.
It takes six days to travel from Waya City to Nuosha City. If they want to arrive in three days, unless they travel day and night, and the weather is good, it is possible without encountering unexpected situations.
"Yes!"
Everyone said yes.
Molly's luck seemed to be pretty good, and within three days, he barely reached Nuosha City.
only……
"What? Nuosha City won't let us pass!"
"Yes my lord."
"hateful!"
boom!
Molly punched a tree as thick as a water tank into a hole.
If Grand Duke Anderson hadn't instructed not to go to war with these people until Oran's head was obtained, Molly might have attacked by force.
"Where else can we go?"
"My lord, one day's journey away from Nuosha City, there is a city of Miluo Ze..."
"One day... let's go, go to Miluoze City!"
Before the soldiers had time to rest for a while, they hurried on their way again.
But what Moli didn't know was that even if he went to Miluo Ze City, the result he got would be the same.
At the same time, such a situation is also happening in other places in Gamma Country.
...
In the airship.
"Many forces have been intercepted by you, and no one has discovered that the owner has changed here."
Amy said to Zhang Feng.
"Um."
Zhang Feng nodded.
The reason why those people were stopped was not because of internal factional struggles, but because these sites already belonged to Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng refused to let them come. Unless they forced their way, they would not be able to get through.
But having said that, these people were slow enough to get the news, and they are still kept in the dark.
"How are the psychological work of those knights and soldiers doing?"
"The effect is not bad. There are already many people who are willing to submit to us. After Xiaotang and Tina's observation, most of them are genuinely submitting. Those who pretend to flatter have been dealt with."
Both the fox-eared lady and the witch are very good at reading people's hearts. If they say there is no problem, then basically there is no problem.
"very good."
Zhang Feng is very satisfied. The reason why there is such a high chance of instigating rebellion is that apart from the work of the psychological committee members, there is another very important point, that is, Zhang Feng has given too much!
If you agree to submit to Zhang Feng, you will at least be able to upgrade your life to a higher level in the future. If you don't agree, you will die immediately.
I believe most people know how to choose.
Anyway, they are all working hard, why not sell a higher price? In particular, Zhang Feng's displayed strength is really terrifying!
According to this progress, it is estimated that these places will become Zhang Feng's own back garden in a short time.
"By the way, have you found any traces of Oran? From the looks of these Gama knights, Oran has come to the south?"
Zhang Feng asked suddenly.
Regarding Aolan, Zhang Feng still admired him very much, regardless of other factors.
Olan can be regarded as a courageous and resourceful person, and Zhang Feng is looking forward to meeting him again.
"Our eyeliner is all over here, but we didn't find any trace of Oran. It is estimated that he didn't run in this direction. Those people were misled by the means he left behind."
Amy thought for a while and said.
"Didn't you come..."
Zhang Feng felt a little regretful.
But Amy went on to say:
"However, we found another thing that might interest you."
"Oh? What?"
Zhang Feng was aroused curiosity.
Amy took out two pieces of paper with two portraits on them.
After Zhang Feng saw the portrait, his pupils shrank.
"It's them!"
The people in the painting are none other than Pope Lawson and Saint Bernice of the Celestial Sect!
"They're alive! I thought they were dead! Where were they found?"
"We found them in Waya City. They were dressed in holy white clothes, and they were very conspicuous in the crowd. In particular, Bernice was very good-looking, which immediately caught our attention."
"When did they come?"
"Just today, not long after they came, a large army followed them. I don't know if that large army followed them or was looking for Oran."
After hearing Amy's explanation, Zhang Feng fell into deep thought.
Pope Lawson and Saint Bernice had already been acquiesced to death by Zhang Feng, including King Carey.
Because I heard from Isabel that when the war came, the people of the Tenjin Cult did not leave, but faced the enemy together with King Kaili, that is, Oran.
In the end, only Oran appeared in front of Zhang Feng intact, so he felt that the people from the Tenjin Sect and King Kaili should be dead.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as I imagined.
"Well, I'm going to see them, and you come with me."
"Um."
Amy nodded.
"By the way, how about Hill with me?"
Zhang Feng looked at Hill who was watching the cloud.
In the past two days, Zhang Feng always felt that Hill was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Oh."
Hill snorted.
With the protection of two bodyguards, Zhang Feng is not afraid of any danger.
The airship found a place close to Waya City and landed where no one was there, and a small black steam car was already waiting.
The three got into the car and headed towards Waya City not far away.
In the city of Waya.
In a dilapidated hotel, Pope Lawson was lying on the bed with sunken eye sockets and dull eyes, as if he was dying.
Saintess Bernice sat down dignifiedly, her face was pale, and there were a few strands of white hair on her forehead.
Obviously, it was not without a big price for them to lead an army of half a million to Sturt City.
However, the two of them seemed to have expected it, and they didn't show any regrets. Instead, they talked very easily.
"My lord Pope, have you noticed that this city of Waya seems to be a little different? But I can't tell you exactly what's different..."
Hearing Bernice's words, Pope Lawson grinned with difficulty.
"Vitality...Compared to last time...here, there is a lot more vitality..."
"vitality?"
Bernice was a little puzzled, and Lawson went on to say:
"You... can also be understood as hope... If I read correctly, the people here... or this city... recently had a... accident... a good accident..."
Pope Lawson's cloudy blue eyes revealed some wisdom.
Bernice was still puzzled, but she didn't say much about it.
It was just a topic of conversation for her, since her chances of talking to Pope Lawson were running out.
"My lord, are you really helpless?"
Bernice finally asked, and the relief on her face disappeared and turned into concern.
"Hehe, life and death are the laws of nature. We... can't violate them. I've lived for a hundred and two years. It doesn't matter if I live a few days longer or less. It's time... to return to the embrace of the gods..."
Lawson spoke intermittently, and there was no reluctance or regret on his face.
It can be seen that this is his sincere words.
"I……"
Bernice didn't know what to say for a moment.
The Tenjin religion taught her that birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, but a person who has been with her for so many years, who is also a teacher and a father, is about to leave suddenly, and Bernice feels that she is still a little unprepared.
"Bernice... don't be sad for me... I have fulfilled my original promise, from now on... we don't owe anyone anymore, you can lead the Taishen Cult and continue our unfinished business ..."
Pope Lawson had a smile on his face.
Although he was about to die, it felt so good to be debt-free. If it hadn't been for being deceived by Kaili back then, their Celestial Sect might have developed to another continent!
"……it is good."
Bernice nodded.
boom boom boom~
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Bernice's face tightened.
"Is someone chasing you?"
She stretched out her hand subconsciously, but there was no trace of energy in the slender and white jade hand, and it was only then that she remembered that both her and Pope Lawson's energy had already been exhausted.
Neither Bernice nor Lawson made a sound. At this moment, someone outside spoke:
"Miss Bernice, Pope Lawson, may I see you?"
Listening to this voice, a figure appeared in Bernice's mind, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"It's him!"
After looking at Pope Lawson, who could no longer move, Bernice finally opened the door.
They have no energy, and they can't leave even if they want to.
He opened the door, and there was a handsome man in a black suit with a smile on his face.
It was Zhang Feng.
And there are two little girls beside Zhang Feng.
One with white hair and white ears is a wolf orc.
She has red hair and red horns. I don't know what race it is, but Bernice feels inexplicably that she is extremely dangerous!
"What a coincidence, we meet again!"
Zhang Feng greeted him very familiarly.
"How will you be here?"
Bernice asked directly.
"What? Why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Zhang Feng looked at Bernice with a smile.
"……Please!"
Bernice stepped out of the way.
Zhang Feng went in and unexpectedly found that there was a person lying on the bed.
The other party turned his head with difficulty, and looked at Zhang Feng.
"Huh? Pope Lawson? How did you become like this!"
Zhang Feng was a little surprised.
Judging from the information he got, Pope Lawson should be fine, why did he suddenly look like he had half a foot in the coffin!
"Marquis Zhang Feng..."
Pope Lawson greeted in a low voice.
Their impression of Zhang Feng was still in Buck City, and they didn't know that Zhang Feng was already a Duke.
"Can you tell me what happened to you?"
Zhang Feng looked at Pope Lawson, then at Bernice who was very weak and even had white hair, and asked curiously.
He was very curious about the two people appearing here.
Bernice didn't know whether to say it, but Pope Lawson himself spoke weakly.
"It's ok... The matter has to start with King Kaili and the Grand Duke of Oran..."
Listening to Lawson's intermittent words and Bernice's supplements from time to time, Zhang Feng's mouth got bigger and bigger.
"I go!"
Zhang Feng had to sigh, the city knows how to play.
The bloodshed among the royal families and King Carey's careful calculation all opened Zhang Feng's eyes.
He didn't expect that Kaili didn't die at that time! Not to mention, Kaili died here! Before he died, he and Oran broke through the City of Sturt and beheaded the King of Gama Kingdom with his own hands!
For a moment, Zhang Feng admired King Kaili very much.
Although Zhang Feng did not agree with many of the things he did, it has to be said that this person is still very courageous.
Directly rush to other people's base camp, exchange one for one at the limit!
Zhang Feng thought that he couldn't do it, if it was him - he would definitely choose to use the army to flatten the opponent!
My own life is so precious, how can I exchange one for another!
"Then what are your plans?"
Zhang Feng looked at the two of them.
Bernice shook her head. Pope Lawson had been making plans before. If he left, Bernice would be a little at a loss.
Lawson opened his mouth, but said nothing, feeling that he was running out of time.
"I see that you are very weak. This is the hinterland of the Jiama country. You may be attacked at any time. I came here with great difficulty and lost a lot of people! Otherwise, I will take you out and help me How about a little favor?"
Zhang Feng showed a sincere smile to Bernice.
When Bernice heard Zhang Feng's words, a trace of hesitation appeared on her face.
Although she is not afraid of death, if she can choose, she would definitely like to live.
After hearing Zhang Feng's words, Pope Lawson stared.
Zhang Feng's words made him think of Kaili who was still very young back then.
Carey also said the same thing, and he agreed to ask him to do a small favor, but in the end, he was tied up with the Tenjin Cult for decades!
Why is Tenjinism not the state religion of Buck Kingdom? It's not that the king doesn't want to, Carey can't wait, but he, Lawson, doesn't want to! He doesn't want to be tied up here forever, they still have their own mission to complete!
"you……"
Lawson glared at Zhang Feng angrily. He moved his fingers with great difficulty, trying to grab Bernice, but the faint light in his eyes was slowly going out, and finally disappeared.
Pope Lawson sighed inwardly, and finally closed his eyes slowly.
"What advice does the Pope have?"
Zhang Feng turned his head and asked, but found that Lawson had closed his eyes.
"Well, asleep?"
Bernice looked at Pope Lawson who had fallen into a "sleep". She walked to the bedside and held Lawson's hand with a sad look on her face.
"My lord Pope...has returned to the kingdom of heaven."
Zhang Feng: "..."
Just, quite suddenly.
