Seeing this scene, the other captive turned around and fled, which made Zero somewhat disappointed.
She turned into a ray of light and entered the captive's body. The captive immediately stopped, his eyes turned white, and then his body underwent a strange change. This was not the first time Mayne had seen such a scene, but no matter how many times he saw it, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
A dim light burst out from the captive's body, and his body twisted and deformed, finally turning into the appearance of a Pure Witch.
He knew that this was not a simple replacement or killing, but what exactly happened during the transformation process, perhaps only the Pope and the person involved would understand.
Zero took a deep breath and walked back to the last captive.
He was the youngest of the three captured spies, about 14 or 15 years old. His slightly immature eyes were full of shock and fear, as if he could not believe what had just happened.
"Now, only you are left." She whispered, "Aier."
Hearing these words, the boy who was trembling with fear and wanted to pick up the scimitar was suddenly stunned, "Why, why..."
"God told me everything. You were originally a child of a farmer in the suburbs, but because of the Wolf King's order, the whole village was forced to move into the city to undertake labor such as repairing the city wall, making military supplies, transporting provisions, and so on. They didn't let you off just because you were young, but recruited you into the investigation team. In reality, they left you to your own devices. "She reached out and stroked his cheek," The best evidence is that when you first came back with information about the movement of the church's army, the captain of the guards didn't even let you through the city gates. After listening to the report, he let you continue to follow us. Am I right? "
"I..." Aier opened his mouth, but could not say a word.
"Of course they won't let you in because your family no longer exists. Whether it's your parents or brothers, they're just like you. They're just Wolf King's consumables. If they let you go back, won't everyone in the scouting team know about it?" Zero continued, "Your father accidentally fell and died when he was filling the gap in the city wall, and your mother went to the supervision team but was whipped and punished. She is now in a critical condition. Without God watching over all this, the evil in the world will always flow wantonly like sewage. Are you sure you want to serve such a ruler? "
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and an uncontrollable grief appeared on his face. "This … impossible, you're lying to me!"
"God never lies." The Pure Witch shook her head. "You know deep down that I'm telling the truth. The root cause of all this is that the nobles have never treated you as their own kind. You are just livestock that they can take whatever they want. What we need to do is to put an end to all this evil and injustice and build a new world under the supervision and protection of God. "
Al fell to his knees and cried bitterly, "W-What should I do?"
"Follow your heart. Only God can judge."
He choked with sobs and said, "I was wrong. I'm willing to tell you everything I know. I'm willing to do anything to save my mother."
"Good boy," Zero patted his head and took out a plant full of slender Leaf from her pocket and handed it to him. "Eat this and have a good sleep. It can help you stabilize your emotions. "She tore off half of the Leaf and put it in her mouth to chew." Just like me. When Wolfsheart City is breached tomorrow, maybe you'll be able to see your mother again. "
Mayne frowned. That plant was the sleeping fern used to make Dreamland Water. It had no effect on witches when eaten raw, but for ordinary people, it was an extremely strong poison. Winter flowers had to be used to neutralize the toxicity. Sure enough, not long after the captive ate it, his face turned ashen. He clutched his throat and looked at Zero's smiling face in disbelief. His throat emitted a gasping sound. Soon his nails pierced his skin and blood vessels, and his neck was dyed bright red with blood. After struggling in pain for half a quarter of an hour, his body gradually went limp and he stopped breathing.
"It's a pity that God didn't forgive your sins." Zero curled up the corner of her mouth and walked in front of the Archbishop. She bowed and said, "My Lord, what do you think of this trial? Is it similar to Lady Heather's style?"
"Why did you trick him into eating the sleeping fern?" Mayne asked in a deep voice, "If it was Heather, we would only add one more devout believer, instead of making him realize his mistakes and then executing him."
"If the captive's relatives were really like what I said, they could naturally be recruited as believers. Unfortunately, I don't know the real situation of his parents. I just spoke nonsense." She shrugged her shoulders. "Once he finds out that these are lies, it will obviously be bad for the Church. Believe me, I am wholeheartedly working for the Church. "
If you are wholeheartedly working for the Church, you should just stay in the tent and wait for orders. Mayne impatiently turned his head, "The attack is about to begin, you should immediately prepare, according to the plan, the Wolf King and the Queen of Clearwater."
"They must die, my Lord," the Pure Witch said with a smile. "If it was just me, I might not be able to do it, but since even Isabella has come, they will absolutely not be able to escape from the Wolfsheart Kingdom."

Woo – woo –
The horn of the attack rolled across the sky, and in the midst of the dark clouds and the rustling autumn wind, the second siege began.
Two miles away, the Siege Beasts used to launch their iron spears blossomed with a magical radiance. When this radiance was as bright as the sun, the iron spears seemed as if they were thrown by the hands of a giant. In an instant, a deafening roar broke out, and with a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye, it flew straight towards the city wall.
Even after crossing such a long distance, its power did not diminish in the slightest. The snow-stone wall was simply unable to stop it. It easily smashed the stones blocking the way into pieces, and even the militia squatting behind the wall suffered a calamity. After only three rounds of shooting, the city gate was completely smashed, and the nearby walls were also in ruins.
Although the speed of the Devil's siege weapons was comparable to that of a catapult, the range was several times longer. Under such an offensive, the garrison was simply unable to fight back. Because they couldn't see the firing trajectory, they didn't even know where the next attack would fall. The Church's army had not yet moved, but the outer defensive line was already in danger.
Just at this moment, an earth-shattering noise suddenly came from behind the city wall!
A huge fireball soared into the sky, and everyone felt the vibration under their feet. Accompanied by flames and black smoke, this section of the stone wall suddenly collapsed, and a gap finally appeared on the mottled wolf's teeth.
The urgent horn sounded again, and the mixed team of the Army of Judges and the God's Punishment Army began to charge towards the city wall. From a distance, it looked like a flowing sea of gold and red, and anyone who dared to block their way would be mercilessly swallowed up.
Now, the garrison of the Wolfsheart Kingdom had to use their own flesh and blood to fight against these warriors who didn't belong to the mortal world. (To be continued.)
