Alien Knights

Todd, who walked out of the cabin, turned around and glanced at the half-hidden hatch, and sighed softly.

Back on the deck, Todd saw Evie tying Thelma's hands with a hemp rope. He walked over suspiciously and asked, What's going on?

She wanted to kill herself.

Todd was taken aback, squatted down, and looked at the dark-skinned Arab girl.

In the eyes of the other party, there is no despair and fear after being captured, only fanaticism for faith.

The Mother Goddess sees everything in the mortal world! She is omniscient and omnipotent! My body may die, but my soul will live forever in the palace of Mother!

Listening to the words that came out of Thelma's mouth, Todd frowned and asked: The mother god knows everything? Are you sure? Including your failure and arrest today, all of which are expected by her? Then why did she send you to die?

Thelma froze for a few seconds before she yelled, What do stupid mortals know?! Our failures are just part of the Mother Goddess' grand vision...

Evie struck Selma on the back of the neck with a knife in her hand, then shook her head and said to Todd, This is the best way to shut up a fanatic.

Todd looked at Thelma who was crumbling, and gave Evie a wry smile.

Evie shrugged: Sometimes, I really can't understand, you are always too...gentle to women...

What was supposed to be a compliment, but was read out by Evie in a sarcastic tone, suddenly changed its flavor, which made Todd scratch his head helplessly.

As for him, what shall we do?

Evie turned her eyes to the dying Hyatt, and reminded Todd, I don't need to talk nonsense, you should also know how powerful this guy's abilities are...

Todd first looked at a collar made of magic magnetite around Hyatt's neck, then looked at the river, and said, An old friend of his will come to see him later. Before that, just let him live.

Evie nodded: Then there is one last question left, what should we do with this thing?

A unique iron box with several brass locks appeared in front of Todd.

This is the thing used for the resurrection ceremony? Todd took the iron box, looked at it over and over again, and asked Evie again: Have you tried to open it?

Evie smiled and drew out the sharp sword behind her back, and said to Todd, If you don't mind...

Todd waved his hands again and again: Forget it, just to be safe, let's send this thing to Muxi City.

At the gate of the Holy Acropolis, the Muxi Knights were in a tense confrontation with the defenders on the tower.

Back off! Don't force me to say it a second time! The commander of the city gate garrison shouted at the army below the city gate: Your behavior is a shameless betrayal of the heavenly father and brothers!

Cumberland, who was riding on horseback, tapped his ear with his little finger, and said to the adjutant behind him: Concentrate the explosives, let the heavy armored infantry cover the craftsmen forward, and blow open the city gate!

Upon hearing this, the adjutant hurriedly dissuaded him: Sir, this is completely different from the tactics Master Emerson explained before we left! Didn't we agree? The first is the lure, and then the attack!

Cumberland sighed heavily: Then follow the original plan, but don't waste too much time... You should also know that the Church's army is rushing towards the Holy Acropolis, and now is the time to race against time!

The adjutant nodded hastily, and waved a few carts full of food and wine to drive under the city gate.

The Muxi Knights got the news that the mission was attacked, so they came here to protect the king's people! The adjutant ordered his men to push the cart forward to ensure that everyone on the tower could see it: We also brought a new batch of aid. If you let us in, these will all belong to you.

Looking at the carriages full of wine and meat under the city gate, the soldiers of the Holy Acropolis, who were short of clothes and food, suddenly let out a sound of swallowing saliva.

After a while, there was a burst of arguing and cursing from the tower.

A few minutes later, the voice of the city gate guard commander came again: Get out of my sight now! Otherwise, I don't mind nailing a few arrows with my name on your ass!

Cumberland laughed and patted the saddle: Okay! This guy is really good! This is like the style of the Holy Acropolis! Order! Order the whole army to prepare for battle, and send me the explosives from the rear!

A scream interrupted the old knight's laughter.

A corpse with a dagger stuck in its back was thrown down from the tower.

We surrender! We surrender!

Accompanied by a group of people begging for mercy, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened.

Cumberland, who broke through the Holy Acropolis without a single soldier, led his troops into the streets of the Holy Acropolis, but there was no joy on his face.

A thin man hiding in the shade by the road bowed to Cumberland on the horse and said, My lord, the leader asked me to pick you up here. I have been waiting for a long time.

With a gloomy face, Cumberland asked the man, You guys did the assassination of the city gate officer just now?

It's a small matter, it's nothing to worry about. A dagger suddenly appeared in the man's hand, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The three gate guards of the Holy Acropolis, as well as the guards in the inner city of the palace, the leader has already placed our people. The man blinked at Cumberland: You just need to send a team to the above places, and you can take these important strongholds without any effort.

Cumberland stroked his beard, frowned, and remained silent.

The man reminded him: My lord, the Church's army may arrive at any time, and it is in our interest to control the situation earlier! Please don't forget, everything is for the Muxi Kingdom...

Frowning, Cumberland paused for a moment, then turned his head to his adjutant, gritted his teeth and said, Do as he says!

On the bell tower of the Holy Acropolis, two women stood at the top of the tower, looking in the direction of the city gate.

One said, Sister, thanks to your arrangement, the Muxi Knights have successfully entered the city.

The breeze blew up the other person's hood, and the face exposed underneath was exactly Rachel's appearance.

I only heard Rachel say: Everything in the Holy Acropolis is moving in the direction we expected. Everything can only wait for His Majesty to enter the city, and the second step of the plan can be carried out...

Is this okay? The first woman asked in confusion: We have put in so much effort and thought, but in the end, we let a woman who refuses to admit her identity as a different species win the fruit of victory.

Rachel took out a snake fruit from her bosom, smiled and took a bite: It's nothing bad, if she is smart enough, she will know when to do things...

But what if she's not smart enough?

The fruit in Rachel's hand was immediately smashed into pieces by the force of her thoughts: That would be more interesting... because I have a hundred ways to ruin her reputation, destroy her will, and make her fall into hell forever!
