Aisha who was motionless roared as she heard the bell. She rushed towards Francis and the other two.
Francis was shocked and hurriedly raised his hand to block the attack. But as soon as he raised his arm, he felt a sharp object piercing through his chest. His body was violently thrown out and smashed onto the floor.
"Didn't you say …" He panicked and was ready to climb up from the ground while angrily questioning Dean next to him.
But before he could finish his words, a black shadow appeared in his line of sight. With a bang, Francis' head was twisted off and his body fell to the ground. His expression was still extremely angry as he stared at the ground.
In the blink of an eye, three people were beheaded by Aisha. They didn't have the strength to fight back.
Dean shook the bell in time to stop Aisha from grabbing one of them. He took out a handkerchief and helped her wipe the blood from her mouth and fingers. But there were still bloodstains on her hands.
He turned and called Richelieu who was guarding the entrance of the hall: "Tell people to come and clean up their bodies. Tell them that the dark believers attacked the Pope. Parade them in the streets and burn them in public."
Richelieu nodded as he looked at the corpses on the ground. He didn't expect the saints sent by the inner wall to die so quickly. They didn't even hurt Dean's hair. All of this was done by the woman who was always by Dean's side. She was definitely the strongest line of defense around him. She was the most dangerous and the most beautiful line of defense.
Barton got the news after Richelieu left. He was relieved to see that Dean wasn't injured. But he noticed the corpses on the ground and the broken windows. He was surprised: "Master, are you okay? Did they come to assassinate me?"
"Yes." Dean nodded.
Barton still had a lingering fear in his heart. He didn't think that these people would be able to climb up the cliff behind the temple. If he lived here alone, he would have probably been beheaded a long time ago.
"Fortunately, master, you are here, otherwise I …" He thanked Dudian. Although he knew that he wouldn't have been assassinated if he wasn't the pontiff, but it was a fact that Dudian saved his life again.
Dean slightly waved his hand, "The person who wants to hurt you is my enemy. This matter is also caused by me. It's getting late. Go to sleep. I'll deal with it."
Barton looked at the corpses on the ground. The pungent smell of blood made his stomach churn, and he felt like vomiting, but he forced himself to endure it. He thought to himself, 'How can I sleep after such a big thing happened tonight?'
Although he thought about it, he still agreed and left the place. It really took courage to stay with a few corpses.
"You worked hard." Dean took Aisha back to the chair after Barton left. The coldness on his face had melted. He touched her cold hands: "Next time they will send stronger people. Fortunately, you are by my side."
Aisha was expressionless and didn't speak.
After a while, Richelieu brought a team of Knights of Light into the hall. They dragged the corpses away and dealt with them. They called the servants to clean the ground several times to disperse the smell of blood. Dean took clean water and washed Aisha's fingers and lips. He took her to the other side of the hall and sat down. He estimated that it was almost time for the other forces to take action.
The corpses of Francis and the others were escorted by the Knights of Light and paraded through the streets. Countless passers-by gathered and pointed at the corpses.
The news of the Pope's assassination spread to the military headquarters and the Knight's Hall.
"General, I've personally looked at the corpses. The faces of the dark believers were destroyed and couldn't be identified. Their deaths were tragic. It wasn't caused by weapons. It seems like they were forcibly torn apart by something."
"Forcibly torn apart?"
"Yes, I also asked someone to secretly shoot arrows at the corpses. The result was very surprising. The arrows didn't pierce the corpses of these people. According to this subordinate's guess, these people's physique is mostly at the top hunter level, or their magic marks are inclined to strengthen their bodies."
"Oh? The arrows couldn't pierce the corpses? Are you sure? "
"I'm sure!"
"It seems that the dark church has sent out all their masters. I didn't expect that the dark church would have hidden such a powerful master. Their corpses weren't damaged by arrows. I don't know how strong they would be if they were alive …"
On the other side of the Knight's Hall, everyone was discussing.
"The dark church can't wait to make a move. It seems that the glory of the new Pope isn't completely fake."
"They should have sent a lot of masters to assassinate the Pope. I didn't expect them to all die."
"The strength of the new Pope can't be underestimated. There may be masters hidden around him!"
"If we can know which masters they sent from the dark church then we can know the strength of the Holy Church."
When the corpses of Francis and the others were paraded in the street, the most surprised people were the dark followers who were hiding in the dark alleys. When they saw the black tattoos on the corpses, they were disappointed but also excited. They didn't expect that the dark church they were loyal to was so powerful that they dared to assassinate the Pope. Although they failed, but most likely the Pope was scared out of his wits.
At the same time, the elders of the dark church held an emergency meeting after they got the news.
"Who sent people to assassinate the Pope?"
"Which faction did it?"
"Why didn't you discuss this matter in advance? Aren't you beating the grass to scare the snake?
Bastard! "Everyone was angry as they questioned the person who made the decision. However after half an hour of questioning … It seemed that no one had sent people to assassinate the Pope.
Some people were dumbfounded for a moment. Soon they thought that it was possible that other forces had framed the dark church.
At the end of the meeting, the elders of the twelve districts received a secret letter from Dean. Sword King read the contents of the letter. Everyone was stunned as they looked at each other. They didn't expect that Dean was the one who directed the assassination. Moreover it seemed that the purpose of the assassination was to pave the way for the military headquarters and the Knight's Hall!
Terrible!
The entire conference room was silent after the secret letter was read.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed.
