"Dang —!"
A loud bell suddenly rang and echoed throughout the city.
Where did the bell come from?
Not only the people in the Holy Cathedral, but the entire Northern Capital also raised their heads curiously to look for the source of the bell. As the capital of the Northern Alliance, there was naturally a bell tower for security purposes. However, the sound of the bell was different from the bell tower. In fact, almost everyone could tell where the bell was coming from.
But because of that, they could not believe their ears.
"Dang —!"
Another bell rang, and this time, a noble suddenly raised his hand and looked at the sky in surprise from the crowd of onlookers.
"Look, look at the sky!!"
In fact, even without him saying it, everyone could see that in the sky behind Fangzheng, the thick white clouds gradually parted, and a city in the clouds shining with a golden brilliance emerged. Vaguely, everyone could even see the towering gate in front of the city in the clouds and the tower behind it. Those splendid, magnificent, and pure white buildings were so eye-catching that many people were shocked by them.
"Could it be … that's heaven?"
Staring blankly at the city in the clouds in the distance, everyone was dumbfounded. The pious people in other parts of the Northern Capital even knelt on the ground and began to pray in a low voice. But compared to them, the people led by Brand were even more dumbfounded. They did not know how to react at all.
What the hell is going on?!
Brand was sure that this was definitely not an illusion because he could feel the strong holy aura. Even as a Knight Captain, he could not help but want to kneel on the ground and admire this great miracle. But … Why would the Holy City of Heaven appear here? Could it be …
At this thought, Brand could not help but look at Fangzheng. The young man was not as absent-minded or trembling as the others. On the contrary, he stood there calmly and looked at Brand with a mocking gaze. If it was before, Brand would have already taken action. But now, looking at Fangzheng's gaze, his heart suddenly trembled!
Only then did he remember that Bishop Karl had once told him that this young man was a Saint Knight!
It had been a long time since the Saint Knights appeared on this continent. As a matter of fact, there were only vague records of the Saint Knights even in the Sacred Temple up until now. No one knew how the Saint Knights fought or how they communicated with the angels protecting them.
And now, a Sky City that only appeared in the legends of the Holy Sanctum had appeared here. Could it be …
Before Brand could think about anything else, at the next moment, dozens of beams of light emerged from the city in the clouds. They turned into streams of colorful light that soared into the sky and landed on the ground, forming existences wearing armor and carrying wings of light on their backs.
"Angel!"
Many people shrieked when they saw the armored figures with wings of light spread out. The devout believers knelt on the ground and began to pray. However, the others, including Bishop Karl and Shi Dong, had solemn expressions. They looked at Fangzheng uneasily, then at Brand. For a moment, they did not know what to do.
The believers and nobles might still be immersed in the shock of the angels' descent, but they clearly sensed that something was wrong. Because after these angels descended, they stood in front of Fangzheng and Nimf. In other words, they were protecting the two of them!
Not only that, but those who knew the inside story of the Saint Knights thought even more about this scene!
The higher-ups of the Holy Sanctum were well aware of why the Saint Knights disappeared from the Holy Sanctum back then. After that dark incident, no more Saint Knights appeared in the Holy Sanctum — — until Fangzheng appeared.
Then, there was a problem. Since the Saint Knights had appeared again, would the angels let the same thing happen again?
Of course, it was impossible. Anyone with a brain would know that even a person couldn't make the same mistake twice, let alone an angel.
So, if this Saint Knight encountered the same situation as before, then … Wouldn't they have a countermeasure?!
Oh no!
At this thought, Bishop Karl's face turned pale. He hurriedly looked at Brand who was not far away. Brand's face was also ashen. He gripped the Blade of Justice in his hand tightly and glared at Fangzheng. Obviously, he also realized the problem with the current situation. If these angels were really here to protect this young man, then he could no longer attack Fangzheng. Because once he attacked, he would definitely have to fight these angels!
A paladin of the Holy Sanctum brandished his sword against an angel of the Holy Sanctum in front of everyone?
This matter alone was worthy of the highest bishop and the pope's attention!
But now … … Would Fangzheng let it go?
"Go."
But Fangzheng's words completely shattered Bishop Karl's wishful thinking.
Of course, Fangzheng wouldn't let it go just like that. He didn't use up the usage of the soul stone just to show off. Since this paladin named Brand was so powerful, then let's see who was more powerful between him and Masael!
After being strengthened, Masael not only had the power of death, but he also had the power of both the Angel of Death and the Angel of Wisdom. This was also why Fangzheng could summon the projection of the Supremacy. After all, Masael was one of the five archangels. If he couldn't even summon a subordinate, he would be a failure!
With Fangzheng's command, the angels immediately raised their weapons and rushed toward Brand and the others!
Looking at the angels rushing toward them, the paladins didn't even know what to do!
There were many powerhouses among the paladins, but now, looking at the scene in front of them, they really wanted to turn around and leave. The powerhouses of the Holy Sanctum were naturally devout in their faith. Because of this, after seeing these angels, they were completely cursing in their hearts.
How are we going to fight? Should we fight or not? What kind of sin is it to attack the messenger of the god we believe in?!
Soon, some of the paladins chose to retreat. They weren't fools. Fangzheng fought with Connie just now, and Connie even called Fangzheng a cultist. Actually, many of them witnessed this scene. Back then, they didn't think much about it. But now, as soon as the angels appeared, the term Saint Knights immediately emerged in their minds. When they recalled the previous incident, many of them turned pale. Damn it.
Is this a reenactment of the Dark Fallen Moon? I'm not going to be an accomplice!
The Dark Fallen Moon had far-reaching effects, and anyone with a bit of status in the Holy Sanctum knew that the consequences of that incident were simply catastrophic. Because of this, the internal investigation of the Holy Sanctum had been very strict and secretive. Unless there was concrete evidence, it was rare to accuse a paladin of being a cultist.
Previously, because of the intense battle between Fangzheng and Connie, everyone was dumbfounded and didn't react. Now that they came back to their senses and thought about it carefully, they felt as though they were being f * cked.
What the heck, isn't this a reenactment of the Dark Fallen Moon?! Back then, those bishops were blinded by greed and casually accused the Saint Knights of being cultists. Now, the tables have turned, and this is happening again?
No wonder the "higher-ups" are furious!
Thinking until here, most of the paladins and bishops immediately retreated. Until now, they still weren't clear about the cause and effect of the incident. But now, it seemed like Connie and Head Knight Brand weren't in the right. If that was the case, wouldn't it be foolish of them to be accomplices?
Since the other paladins had thought of this, Brand naturally thought of it too. He gripped the Blade of Justice tightly and stared at the angels that were charging at him with a grave expression. To be honest, as a Head Knight, he definitely shouldn't point his sword at an angel. But as a father, he couldn't watch his daughter die without doing anything!
"Head Knight Brand, hurry up and leave with Knight Connie!"
At this moment, a few paladins rushed in front of Brand and blocked the angels! They were Brand's personal guards and were rather loyal to him. At this moment, even though they were worried that they would be punished, they still rushed forward and blocked the angels. Hearing the shouts of his personal guards, Brand returned to his senses abruptly.
That's right. No matter what, let's get Connie out of here first!
"Hurry up and leave!"
Brand hurriedly pulled Connie and attempted to turn around and leave.
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and a smear of ice-cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
Want to leave? Have you f * cking asked me?!
At the next moment, a white light flashed from Fangzheng's body. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Brand with Masael and blocked his way!
"Damn it!"
Looking at Fangzheng who was blocking his way, Brand knew that today wouldn't end well. He let out a furious roar and charged at Fangzheng with his Blade of Justice.
