Chapter 509

Sometimes, no matter how one planned or calculated, they couldn't keep up with the changes in the situation. This was a very helpless thing, and it was also a thing that made one feel very helpless.

For example, Siddarth and Mercia had originally teamed up with Sardova to set up a good plan. They were just waiting for them to be recommended to join the escort team back to the Vatican to study, and then find a chance to kill the old princess on the way to complete the mission. However, their plan was ruined by Su Bai.

Now, they had been tied to Su Bai's chariot, and had gone from the path of calculation and detour to the rhythm of attacking!

This was forcefully using his own life to exchange for the probability of completing the mission!

In the story world, the listeners' first priority would always be to ensure their own survival before seeking other options. They would not use this method to directly confront the native opponents in the main mission. If all the listeners played this way and were so resolute, then the mortality rate of the listeners would be terrifyingly high. It might be so high that even the broadcasters would feel the pinch.

The broadcasters wanted to pursue storytelling, but if the listeners were so stubborn and died in large numbers, how could they tell the next story if the protagonists and supporting characters in the story died?

The Templars attacked at this moment. There were indeed differences in strength among them, but when they worked together, they felt like a torrent of steel.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Senggrinqin Cavalry had once launched a charge against the British and French army, but ended up becoming a sad joke under the guns and cannons of the British and French army. Now, although Su Bai was holding a gun with both hands, he felt that it was unnecessary to even shoot when facing the Templars who were charging at him.

The three Templars charged at the same frequency, and their auras were connected. Their defensive power was almost tripled, which was the effect of sharing the damage.

Su Bai could only dodge for the time being, and began to retreat. However, on the other side, three Templars were also charging at him, and he felt a sense of despair.

"Why do I feel like I've lost control?"

This was the true feeling in Su Bai's heart. Although he knew that the Templars were not easy to deal with, he did not expect them to be so troublesome. Previously, he had relied on the Templars to surround him and kill one with a sneak attack. He had not experienced anything yet, but now, he felt a terrible pressure.

"Bang!"

The Templars' Qi collided directly with Su Bai's body. Su Bai did not dare to resist it, and was directly swept away. After landing on the ground, he quickly got up, but three more Templars came from behind, and Su Bai was lifted up again. When he landed, many swords were prepared to turn Su Bai into a skewer.

"Buzz!"

Su Bai, who was falling from the air, turned into a blood mist in an attempt to avoid this battle. However, the six knights below raised their swords together, and six cages composed entirely of combat energy appeared in mid-air and directly enveloped him. Even in his blood mist state, he could not break through this combat energy cage and had to keep falling under the pressure of the combat energy cage.

Even though he was in the form of the Blood, he could not break through the Combat Energy Cage, and had no choice but to fall.

…

"Light Barrier!"

Mercia waved her wand, and a dazzling barrier appeared in front of her.

However, the barrier was broken in an instant, and the six Templars lined up in a row and crushed Mercia's magic in a decisive manner. At the same time, they charged towards Mercia.

Siddarth drew his bow and shot three arrows at one of the Templars.

All three arrows hit their target, but the Templar's face was flushed, and so were the faces of his five companions. However, they continued to charge as if nothing had happened.

"Damn it, they can even share the damage!"

Siddarth was almost in despair now. Previously, Su Bai had killed one of them with a single shot, and he had injured another with an arrow. Hence, he had thought that he was lucky, but now it seemed that he had been too naive.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! The phalanx formed by the six Templars pressed forward. Siddarth wanted to run, but he realized that the surrounding space had been sealed by Combat Energy. The other party was very fast, and they were advancing indomitably. Since Mercia's Light Barrier and Siddarth's three arrows were ineffective, this charge was actually enough to end the battle there.

…

"It must be them," Nova said softly as she stood beside An Le.

An Le nodded. "Be careful. It might be a diversion."

An Le walked towards the prisoner carriage. At this moment, he actually did not believe that the three listeners in front of him were really courting death and deliberately luring the Templars to commit suicide. Hence, it was very likely that there would be other people who would come here to assassinate the old queen in order to complete the main mission.

The old queen was An Le's exclusive property, and he had to kill her, but not now. An Le had to obtain the reward of the second main mission. In fact, An Le had even thought of killing Nova first if necessary, and then killing the old queen himself. Although Nova's contribution was very small, there was a certain chance that she would get some reward, and An Le was not willing to lose any bit of it.

After interacting with these Templars for a long time, An Le had a deeper understanding of them. First of all, the individual strength of these Templars was actually much lower than that of the listeners of the same level. This was probably the common problem of the powerhouses in this fairytale world. They were all very immature. However, once these Templars joined forces and charged together, it would really be a despairing thing. It was definitely more terrifying than the various Enhancers in the audience.

That was because it would bring about a sense of despair!

However, after waiting for a long time, it was still quiet here. The priests and the Templars were actually on guard to prevent any accidents, but no one else appeared to launch a sneak attack.

An Le could not help but feel suspicious. Could it be that the 3 listeners in front of him were really seeking death?

However, as he swept his gaze across them, An Le suddenly discovered that the old priest, who had been the most low-profile and had the worst food and clothing, had suddenly disappeared.

… …

The white-bearded Templar Captain's chest heaved up and down. One of his subordinates had died, and another was heavily injured. These injuries should not have happened, but had happened because of his own stupidity! When he returned to the Holy See, he would definitely be punished and reprimanded.

Fortunately, the situation was already under control. The 3 of them would definitely die. Anyone who dared to challenge the Templars would definitely be turned into meat paste!

"Don't kill them first."

An old voice rang out beside the white-bearded Templar Captain.

The white-bearded Templar Captain turned his head, and saw the old priest standing beside him.

The old priest was wearing clothes full of oil stains. He was also in charge of cleaning in the team, and even did laundry and cooking. He was very low-key, even ridiculously low-key. If he was not wearing a priest's clothes, perhaps even the auxiliary soldiers could not help but order him around.

However, the white-bearded Templar Captain knew that this old priest actually had a status and qualifications comparable to a Cardinal in the Holy See. It was just that he had made a mistake in the past, and the Holy See had forgiven him, but he could not forgive himself. He had always been an ordinary priest, and persisted in practicing hard. However, many of the Cardinals in the Holy See were his disciples in the past.

"You can't kill them?" The white-bearded Templar Captain could not understand, "I have already lost 2 of my subordinates. They were the most loyal guards of the Holy See!"

"The Holy See can nurture more Templars, but it will be difficult to have more of them after killing them. I came late to the sneak attack that night. Otherwise, I would not have allowed you to kill them."

The old priest's gaze became serious.

"Charles, you have to listen to my orders now. The 3 of them must be captured alive. The Holy See can obtain more secrets from them, and even the techniques of the Holy See can be enriched and perfected."

Since the old priest had already said so, Charles, who knew how terrifying the power behind him was, could only grit his teeth and raise his sword.

"Capture them alive!"

Swoosh!

After Su Bai, who was trapped in the Combat Energy Cage, landed on the ground, he did not wait to be trampled by the iron hooves. Instead, all 6 swords were placed on his body, and he was completely suppressed.

At the same time, the knights on the other side stopped charging, and surrounded Siddarth and Mercia.

…

Su Bai smiled. He did not die, but he had indeed gone overboard this time. Turning around, Su Bai saw Siddarth and Mercia, who had also given up resisting, and felt a little relieved. At least this time, he did not enter the story world with Fatso, Gyatso, and the rest. In the past, he seemed to be able to survive every time he fell ill, but this time, he was not so lucky.

However, at least he did not have to worry about being laughed at by Fatso and the rest.

The knights escorted the 3 captives back to the camp, and An Le and Nova deliberately hid themselves in the crowd.

Crack …

There were several prisoner carriages here, and they were all covered with black cloth. There should be restrictions in the carriages too. Su Bai was pushed to the front of a prisoner carriage, while Siddarth and Mercia were pushed to the other carriage. When they were escorted past Su Bai, they were still glaring at Su Bai angrily, as though they were loyal soldiers looking at a white bandit army.

Clatter …

A string of chains was thrown over, and two Paladins personally tied Su Bai up with the chains. At first, Su Bai did not feel anything, but when he looked down at the chains on his body, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

All of a sudden, Su Bai recalled an image from the memory of the ancient Vampire. In the image, he was tied up by chains and nailed to a cross, surrounded by Paladins and Cardinals. The Cardinal sacrificed his life for God's Heavenly Fire to burn him to death, leaving behind a drop of blood essence.

These chains were exactly the same as the ones in his memory.

The Church, the Vatican, torture, trial, Knights Templar?

Su Bai suddenly felt like he could not differentiate between the story world and the real world.
