Farina was surprised to find that the straw was still there.
Although it was only a few feet away from her, it did not press down on her.
The background of the magic movie was similar to the "history" of the ancient Taquila witches, but it did not completely deny the church. When she saw the people in the drama risking their lives to fight against the enemies of hell, she even felt a surge of heat in her body that she had not felt for a long time.
When the Hermes in the magic movie suddenly rebelled, she clenched her fists tightly and wanted to beat them to the ground one by one.
It was these people that caused the church to forget its original purpose of being established. From being needed by people, it became a giant beast that devoured people.
The most hateful thing was that those in power who knew the inside story kept their mouths shut about the existence of the devil, but at the same time, they trained the followers with the idea of saving the world. This caused countless warriors like Lord Tucker Thor to die with a noble faith, but they did not realize that they were just tools for them to control power.
She should not be loyal to such Hermes.
The question was, why did the King of Graycastle reveal this side of the church? Did he really not want to take this opportunity to completely drive the church into the abyss?
Or did he not care about these things at all?
Just when Farina was in turmoil, the pursuers sent by Hermes caught her attention.
Even if it was a few minutes earlier, she would not have any reaction. For a person in despair, no matter what happened around her, it had nothing to do with her. But now, there was a wave in her heart, and the strength of the past seemed to have returned a little.
Farina herself was an elite of the Judgement Army, and this change was enough for her to notice the strangeness.
The ground trembled slightly.
This was the sound of the Judgement Army galloping.
She had been in Hermes for five or six years, so she was already very familiar with this kind of movement. Even without her eyes, she could judge the number and distance of the pursuers.
Sixteen riders, two squads — the same number of pursuers in front of her.
If the touch had been there from the beginning, she might have ignored it. However, the Demon Shadow was only a fictional illusion. No matter how realistic it was, it couldn't replace reality. For example, if he lowered his head, he wouldn't be able to see his own body, and his touch would still be dependent on his surroundings … It was precisely because of this that the sudden additional feeling was particularly obvious.
She realized that something had changed!
As this thought popped up, Farina saw her own body.
What was going on?
However, the most incredible thing was yet to come.
The spectators around her also appeared in front of her one by one.
Charle was no exception.
"Farina, what are we …" He turned around with a confused look on his face.
A very bad feeling welled up in her heart. Farina suddenly grabbed backwards, but she didn't touch anything. The chair that she was sitting on was no longer there.
"Please help us, I beg you!" The guardian and the witch seemed to have discovered their presence and ran towards the crowd in a panic.
"The defectors are there, take them down!"
"Anyone who resists will be treated as accomplices and will be killed without mercy!"
Crossbow bolts flew over and shot several people in the front row to the ground.
Most of the spectators were directors of the Chamber of Commerce and dignitaries from aristocratic families. Almost none of them had ever been in a battle. In the face of such a sudden change, all of them were stunned.
"Damn it!" Farina cursed in a low voice. What the hell were those witches doing? Was this still an illusion? If it was before, she would have shouted, "This is an evil trap set by the witches. Everyone, follow me!" to calm people down. Resisting the subconscious impulse, she pushed Charle away and quickly rushed to the front of the crowd. "Stop! I'm Farina, the captain of the Vanguard Battalion of the Judgement Army. Who are you! "
This unexpected shout made the pursuers stop their horses. "Vanguard Battalion? How come I've never heard of this team? "
"Hey, who's your commander?"
"The archbishop of the Privy Council, Lord Tayfun." Farina made up a story. At the same time, she put her hand behind her back and made a "give me a weapon" gesture to the defected guardian.
"Wh … what?" Hearing this answer, the leading warrior showed a hesitant look.
Sure enough, as the mastermind of the rebellion, the guard had heard of the Privy Council. All the high-level people who were involved in the core secrets of the Church should have a lot of influence in the Church. But she also knew that this could only make the opponent hesitate for a moment, but it could not change his mind. The rebellion had been successful. Even if the archbishop had a high position and power, he could not be compared to the newly crowned Pope.
She had to seize the opportunity and make the first move!
Unfortunately, the guardian didn't fully understand her gesture. He just carefully raised his sword and stood beside her.
"Why aren't you wearing the armor of the Judgement Army?" The leader of the pursuers probably made a decision. He dismounted from his horse and slowly surrounded her with his men.
"Because I'm carrying out a special task." Farina calmly replied.
"Sorry, because the defected is too important, I have to bring him back to Hermes. This is the order of His Holiness. In addition, your men had better come with me. Lord Tayfun must understand the order of His Holiness. "
"Do you have to do this?"
"Yes." The leader put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Okay, then I'll go with you." Farina sighed. "As for Lord Tayfun, he …"
"What happened to him?"
"He's already dead." While speaking, she quickly pulled out the spare dagger from the waist of the guardian and inserted it into the gap of the helmet of the leader. "After more than 300 years."
Blood suddenly sprayed on her face.
"Cap-Captain!"
"Kill them!"
Farina grabbed the weapon of the leader and fought with the pursuers. At this time, the guardian also waved his sword and joined the battle.
"This woman is so, so strong!"
"Damn, where's the crossbow? Hurry up and load it! "
"Don't let the witch go!"
The scene was chaotic. From time to time, some people groaned and fell to the ground. The rest of the audience fell into a state of sluggishness and did not dare to move.
For Farrina, this was a battle where she had no chance of winning. Even if she could knock down her opponent, it would be difficult for her to inflict fatal damage. Furthermore, she was outnumbered 16 to 2. It was only a matter of time before she was cut down by the swords.
After a few rounds of fighting, she had many wounds on her body, but the burning pain did not slow her down. Instead, it made her more and more eager to fight.
Farina felt a long-lost satisfaction.
"How dare you go against the church!" The pursuing guard roared.
"The church? No … you don't deserve to mention that name! "She glared at them." It shouldn't be like this. You destroyed it with your own hands! You've let too many people down! "
Yes, she would soon die here, but Farina found that this was the best ending for her. Even if it was only for a short moment, she finally became the kind of person she wanted to be.
But death did not come as expected.
A rapid gunshot broke the sound of swords clashing. She turned around and found that the men in black who had been guarding outside the courtyard had appeared in the magic shadow. Their reinforcements turned the situation around — the enemies seemed to be scared out of their wits. They abandoned the bodies of their companions, turned around and fled, and soon disappeared into the mountains.
"Thank you …" The wounded guardian walked to Farina with the help of the witch. "I thought the church was completely under my father's control. I didn't expect to meet an upright warrior like you."
"I thought there was no hope, but it seems that God has not given up on us." The witch still had tears on her face, but now she smiled and said, "You've not only saved us — all humans owe you one."
"I …" Farina opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.
"We're going to Graycastle and tell the king about the changes on the Hermes Plateau. I hope it's not too late," the guardian said solemnly. "You should go too. Don't go back to the Holy City. If one day the church can return to the right track, I think we'll meet again. Take care, my friend. "
After watching the two slowly leave, her vision darkened.
When the light returned to normal, she found herself still sitting in the viewing room, and the chair behind her was still firm.
Even the wounds she had suffered in the battle had disappeared.
So … what she had seen just now was really an illusion?
"Oh my … this is amazing!" At this moment, the audience finally came back to their senses, and the viewing room suddenly burst into a deafening uproar.
"By the Three Gods, I feel like I'm changing history …"
"You're indeed a master of drama. To be able to watch such a magic shadow, not to mention 50 Golden Dragon, even 100 Golden Dragon would be worth it!"
"When you rushed up, I was scared to death. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm." Joe patted his chest and said, "It's incredible that you can come up with such a scene and make the people in the play look so real …"
Farina did not answer. She noticed that the men in black were nervous and looking around with guns in their hands, which did not seem to be arranged beforehand. There were also two theater staff who directly rushed backstage, looking flustered and surprised.
This did not seem to be the behavior of a successful performance.
When she held her breath and tried to further capture the details, she suddenly heard a faint explosion, which seemed to come from far away. At the same time, people's screams, cries, and curses also sounded intermittently, but it seemed insignificant in the incessant discussions and praises in the room.
This is not right …
Farina realized that something was wrong.
She suddenly stood up, ignoring Joe's surprised gaze, and ran over the heads of the audience in the back row to the viewing room.
"Stop! You … wait! "Noticing this scene, the men in black wanted to stop her, but it was obviously a step too late.
Farina ran through the hall, out of the courtyard, and then froze beside the receiving road.
Neverwinter had already fallen into chaos. People were running and shouting everywhere, and several residential areas were billowing thick smoke, as if a fire had broken out. In the direction of the industrial area, there were continuous explosions, and the whole city seemed to be out of control.
But what was more terrible than all this was coming from above.
