Chapter 915 - 916: Silver Arrowhead
"This will do. Take this girl to my room. No need to wash her, I like them a bit dirty."
Pointing at the brown-haired girl sitting on the ground with a terrified dumbfounded expression, Gaslin said excitedly.
Regarding the bishop’s choice, the burly man with a beard and his subordinates blinked their eyes in a daze.
"Lord Gaslin, are you sure? She’s just an ordinary village girl. Why choose her?"
In response, Gaslin smiled disdainfully:
"I’ve had enough of the Anbite girls. It’s good to change things up occasionally. Besides, I think this village girl is quite cute, hehe..."
"Uh..."
Seeing this, the burly bearded man didn’t dare say much and could only stand quietly to the side.
The nearby Anbite girls, while showing a secretly relieved expression, also cast sympathetic gazes towards Yumo.
On the other side,
As the person involved, Yumo was completely in a state of bewilderment.
After the initial shock, a strong sense of displeasure arose.
What the hell? Why choose me of all people?
I’ve already disguised myself like this, and you still pick me?
What kind of messed up taste is this? Besides, if you choose me, how am I supposed to go to the Holy Capital?!
And can you please stay away from me!
Watching Gaslin approaching with a lecherous face, trying to grope her, Yumo’s brows twitched furiously.
Aside from Mengxi and her children, she didn’t like being touched by others.
Yumo’s patience was gradually reaching its limit, and uncontrollable murderous intent began to overflow from her eyes.
Forget it.
Might as well just kill him directly, and then figure out a way to enter the Holy Capital herself later.
With my intelligence and wit, I would surely find a way.
Thinking this way, a cold gleam flashed imperceptibly in Yumo’s eyes. However, Bishop Gaslin had no awareness of his predicament and still foolishly reached out his hand, trying to caress Yumo’s face.
The next instant,
Boom!
Under everyone’s astonished gazes,
Accompanied by a loud bang, Gaslin suddenly flew backwards and crashed into a stone pillar in the distance.
Huh?
What’s going on?
Staring at the scene before her, Yumo was dumbfounded again.
That’s right, she had already mobilized the Shadow Power within her body, ready to teach this suicidal uncle a lesson.
But, She hadn’t made a move yet, so how did he go flying? Talk about being proactive!
However, Yumo quickly realized that an even more shocking scene was yet to come.
"Sir. Gaslin?!"
A series of guards let out shocked cries and suddenly drew the swords at their waists, glaring menacingly at the wall behind the girls.
They had seen it clearly. Just now, a azure beam of light had burst through the wall, fiercely striking Gaslin’s face and blasting him away.
"Who is it?! How dare you attack Bishop Gaslin! Do you have a death wish?"
The guards let out angry roars like vicious dogs, staring at the wall with murderous intent, ready to break through it the next moment to capture the attacker and tear them to pieces.
However, their imposing manner didn’t last a few seconds before it suddenly collapsed.
Because, As the wall crumbled, a pair of fully armed knights in white silver armor with golden patterns engraved on their chests suddenly appeared before everyone, directly causing the guards’ expressions to greatly change as they retreated in shock.
"Silver?! Silver Arrowhead?! Why are they here?"
With a startled cry, the guards instantly felt their limbs go weak as they continuously retreated.
Although they followed Gaslin around locally, acting with impunity and disregarding the law, they weren’t foolish enough to overestimate their abilities.
The group of silver-armored knights that had suddenly appeared were clearly the special forces within the Church Nation responsible for managing internal discipline, similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guards - the "Silver Arrowhead". Although few in number, this special force was comprised of elites, possessing terrifying combat power. And for this force to appear here...
Didn’t it mean that Bishop Gaslin’s violations had already been discovered by the central authorities?!
Those targeted by the Silver Arrowhead only awaited the fate of being purged.
"Not good..."
The burly bearded man, sensing the dire situation, directly abandoned any thoughts of resistance.
Although he didn’t know why the Silver Arrowhead had appeared here, it was undoubtedly set in stone that Bishop Gaslin would lose power.
"Damn resisting! Just run!"
Making his decision, the burly bearded man turned and ran towards the dungeon gate without a second word. The other slave traders and most of the guards all harbored the same mentality, directly giving up on fighting and scattering in panic like birds and beasts.
However, Before they could run a few steps, they despairingly realized that the surging water had already rushed behind them at some unknown point and formed a sturdy water barrier.
No matter how much force they used, they couldn’t break through this barrier. Whether they hacked at it with swords or bombarded it with magic, it was all to no avail. The seemingly fragile water wall had become an indestructible barrier, blocking any possibility of escape for the burly bearded man and the others.
"What in the world is this thing?!"
Facing the bizarre water wall, the burly bearded man gasped in shock.
Since they couldn’t escape, should they directly surrender? Or fight to the death?!
This question suddenly surged in the minds of the burly bearded man and the others.
However, Their fleeting hope of fighting their way out was shattered the very next second.
"By order of Her Majesty’s inquiry, the bishop of the Northern Wolf Fortress and Lex region, Gaslin, has abused his power, disregarded the laws of the Church Nation. In accordance with Article 321 of the Church Nation’s laws, he is hereby arrested and will be escorted by the Silver Arrowhead to the Holy Capital for trial. His accomplices will also be apprehended. Any resistance will be met with merciless execution."
As these cold words reached their ears, the burly bearded man and the others instantly felt a chill run through their bodies, their heartbeats nearly stopping.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Gaslin’s subordinates tremblingly turned their heads to look behind them.
At this moment, Several silver-armored knights had already neatly lined up in two rows, standing imposingly in front of the Anbite tribe girls, their eyes coldly observing them. And in front of these Anbite knights stood a man with his hands behind his back, exuding an extraordinary aura.
The man wore a blue robe, With short blue hair, bronze skin, and a tall, robust physique.
The slightly tight-fitting blue robe perfectly showcased his muscular body.
His facial features were sharp and profound, as if carved by a knife, handsome and three-dimensional. His deep, gloomy ice-blue eyes were bright and piercing. His entire being exuded an aura of a world-shaking king, handsome yet imposing. At this moment, a cold smile played on his handsome and chiseled face. He looked at Gaslin’s remnants with eyes as if viewing trash, warning them,
"Do not attempt to resist, or face the consequences."
As the words left his mouth,
A terrifying pressure of holy power instantly spread out, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe.
At this moment, the burly bearded man and Gaslin’s confidants all fell silent.
Glancing at the man in blue, seeing Gaslin hanging like a dead dog in his hand, and the wing emblem on his chest symbolizing his lofty status, the burly bearded man and the others instantly felt their hearts collapse. They all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground with great understanding.
The man before them did not introduce himself, but from the emblem on his clothing and the indestructible water prison, they were well aware of his identity.
He was one of the Six Wings of the Church Nation,
The Wing of Loyalty,
Haiying Jistan.
He was also the controller of the terrifying Silver Arrowhead force.
Although they didn’t know why a Church Nation Wing would appear in a small border fortress, the presence of such a figure here meant that their resistance would be utterly meaningless. Not wanting to court death, the burly bearded man and the others could only helplessly and desperately surrender to the silver-armored knights.
"Take them all away."
After indifferently glancing at the surrendering confidants, Haiying spoke with disdain.
Uh, What kind of development is this?
Silently observing the unfolding scenes, watching those who had just been arrogant and domineering now become prisoners under the silver-armored knights, becoming miserable and desperate, Yumo pursed her lips with complex emotions. The events that happened to her today seemed a bit strange...
How did I inexplicably end up watching a big show?
First, I was kidnapped.
Then I was rescued.
Glancing at the silver-armored knights surrounding her and the Anbite girls from the corner of her eye, Yumo muttered in her heart with some confusion. While feeling fortunate that she didn’t directly expose her identity, Yumo also felt a sense of entanglement.
As the saying goes, when one wave settles, another rises.
Now, another serious problem presented itself before her.
Hmm, But after being rescued, Shouldn’t they send me back to Night Wish City?
Then wouldn’t I have come here for nothing?
No, that won’t do!
I have to find a way to deceive him! Make him directly take me to the holy city of Vinati!
But how should I deceive him?
Play the pity card? Or volunteer to be a witness?
Facing the extraordinary Church holy knights before her, Yumo’s little brain was rapidly thinking about how to achieve her goal.
However, The people who came to arrest Gaslin this time seemed to have a very helpful spirit. Seeing Yumo’s conflicted expression, they directly offered assistance, interrupting Yumo’s thoughts in one fell swoop. The next moment, the Church Wing named Haiying, upon noticing Yumo, narrowed his eyes and his expression greatly changed. He directly reached out in a friendly manner, intimately interacting with Yumo’s neck.
The next instant,
Before Yumo could realize what had happened, she was suddenly grabbed by the neck and pressed against the wall.
"Cough, cough, cough!!"
As the sensation of impact came, Yumo coughed repeatedly, feigning pain. Then, in an extremely confused, innocent, and pure tone, she whimpered:
"What are you doing..."
Facing Yumo’s question, Haiying paid no heed. He only stared intently at the seemingly brown-haired girl before him.
No, Strictly speaking, he was staring at the girl’s ears, at the butterfly-shaped earrings emitting a faint blue glow.
With a solemn expression and a chilling aura, Haiying spoke in a grim tone:
"Who are you? How do you have these earrings?!!"
