"Wait!"
The hand holding down the impulsive Milady was Nok.
Nok looked up at the sky where the snowflakes were floating. The snow seemed to be falling heavier and heavier.
Nok looked at the guard on the city through the gaps in the snowflakes.
"Hey, why does the name sound so familiar to me! Isn't this the Count Rochefort, the former general of the Canyon Fortress! Why, you vowed to owe me a favor at the beginning, but now you dare to be the bishop?
In front of me, you wouldn't say you don't recognize me, right? "
"It's Viscount Rochefort! Viscount! I was promoted to Viscount five years ago!"
At the top of the city, Rochefort roared unhappily.
At the same time, he also carefully looked at Nok under the city.
A man with white hair, skin and bones, and a full beard. His voice sounded younger than his own, but the aura of old age in his body was heavier than that of a man in his fifties.
Such a person dares to claim to be the high-spirited young bishop who single-handedly controlled all the nobles in the royal city ten years ago?
Besides, even if he is, so what.
After being missing for ten years, the Kingdom of France has long been ruled by Bishop Richelieu.
As for Reims Cathedral, it has long become that person’s retirement home.
Even Leo Gareth, the leader of the Knights, would probably not be happy to let a loser who has been missing for ten years come back to fight for power with him!
Thinking of this, Rochefort felt that he had a chance to win.
"I'm talking about the liar below. I don't know where you got the courage to come in front of me and pretend to be a bishop.
It's okay if you pretend to be someone else, but if you pretend to be the youngest bishop, then you are totally wrong.
I saw Bishop Lane before he became famous. He doesn't look like you.
He obviously has black hair, handsome and elegant. Although he died young, he is not someone that a cat or a dog can pretend to be.
A human traitor like you, even if you want to fraudulently open the city gate, you still have to act like one. You have white hair and a white beard, and you still want to pretend to be a young man?
From what I see, you are probably older than me!
Why, do you think your death is coming soon, so you took advantage of the darkness and sent you, an old guy, here to die?
Then you have made the wrong calculation, hahaha! "
Rochefort thought he had succeeded and laughed wildly.
But he didn't notice that after he said these words, the people on the entire city wall had strange expressions on their faces.
Since his appointment as Bishop of Reims Cathedral, Knock Lane has always shown his true colors.
His iconic silver hair and golden eyes have captivated countless girls from Reims City and noble ladies from the Royal City.
But Rochefort actually said that Nok had black hair, and everyone on the city wall suddenly looked at him with something wrong.
How ignorant he is!
I originally thought that he had a grudge against Nook Lane, so he made things difficult for Sister Milady after hearing the name.
Now it seems that he doesn't know Bishop Lane at all and is just an excuse to cause trouble.
But what everyone didn’t know was that they had wronged Rochefort.
After all, the Nook Lane in his memory was just a young man with black hair. Although he was polite, he was so destitute that he worked as a thug for a woman.
However, he thought he understood Nok's original choice, because Mrs. Freya was indeed very smooth and had great kung fu.
During the time he returned to the royal city, he frequently competed with Madam Freya on his skills.
If it hadn't been for the tight war, the border defense line was too long, and there was a lack of guards, he wouldn't have been sent to a ghost place like Zhenmo Pass.
Moreover, at the Demon-Suppressing Pass, he was treated as a decoration by the church and the professional union.
The soldiers under his command only knew the Knights of Reims and did not know General Rochefort.
He can't take revenge on the church and professional unions, and he can't take revenge on a mere Reims cathedral?
Madam Freya said that Lord Richelieu disliked the people of Reims Cathedral very much, but because the old man was retiring in Reims Cathedral, he had to make some concessions.
But this does not mean that Lord Richelieu will not suppress Reims Cathedral.
If he, Rochefort, could suppress the people at Reims Cathedral, he would even cause them to suffer a severe loss.
Maybe Rochefort could also be appreciated by Lord Richelieu and become his confidant.
When he thought that his cousin Roger Feite, whom he despised, could actually become Lord Richelieu's right-hand man, he was so jealous that he wanted to replace him.
An orphan who was kicked out by his father unexpectedly became Richelieu's celebrity through sheer luck.
Although he now only holds the title of Baron, his position is only that of Richelieu's Captain of the Red Order Guards.
But the influence is not comparable to Rochefort.
Therefore, he has been waiting for the opportunity.
Master Richelieu would definitely be very happy to kill one or two important people in Reims City.
As for the old man whom Lord Richelieu was afraid of, it was rumored that he was a senior member of the Holy Court who had retired, but he had served in Reims Cathedral, so he stayed in Reims Cathedral to retire.
As for the affairs of Reims Cathedral, he never interfered.
Rochefort felt that a retired old guy, even if he was dissatisfied, could still cause trouble for him, the Viscount of the Kingdom?
The retired old man may still be a bit thin-faced within the church, but it doesn't work for him!
Because to Rochefort, he was a noble nobleman, while the dead old man was just a retired civilian!
If he were still a high-ranking member of the church, Rochefort might still be wary of three points.
Take Sister Milady in front of her, for example. Her position as a nun was awarded by the Holy Court itself, which made Rochefort somewhat afraid.
Even if he tried to make things difficult for her in the past, it was just in secret.
But things are different now.
This time he can use the topic to his advantage.
No matter whether the person she brought back this time was trustworthy or not, in this snowy weather that obscured his vision, according to military regulations, as the commander-in-chief, he had the absolute right to refuse any request to open the city gate.
Even for the safety of the fortress, he had to put the entire city on alert to prevent some people from sneaking in.
Once discovered, he would have an excuse to order the killing of the opponent.
Who would let this be a military order jointly issued by the coalition forces? Violating the military order will be a capital crime!
Therefore, when he saw the sky started to snow and heard that Milady was outside the fortress, he came up with the evil idea.
He made up his mind to anger Milady and force him to break through.
Only in this way can he become famous and order people in the customs to attack Milady in a fair and just manner.
Even if she escapes in the end, he can use this as a crime and let the kingdom force the coalition forces to question Reims Cathedral!
Therefore, after he arrived at the city wall, he was directly rejected by the review process of Milady's application.
He didn't even pay attention to what Milady said about the application.
It wasn't until the two quarreled across the city wall later that he understood that Milady meant that she had found the missing Nook Lane.
Rochefort didn't believe it.
As we all know, Nook Lane disappeared in Wangyue Town. It was also because of that incident that more than thirty masters fought in a melee, broke the space barrier, and led to the invasion of the Dark World.
Although there was no direct cause of Nok Lane, most civilians who did not know the truth still blamed Nok Lane.
Of course, it is unknown whether there are some people's handiwork in this.
Anyway, as far as Rochefort knew, when the Moon Moon Town incident broke out, Nook Lane was left to deal with an assassin from the Witch Alliance in order to protect his disciple and goddaughter.
The outside world has no way of knowing the strength of that assassin.
But the more than 30 masters who got into the melee later were all Saint level or above.
There are both good and evil.
If it weren't for the strange barrier in Wangyue Town, Wangyue Town would have been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.
Even the Dark Realm has been opened up, so a mere Wangyue Town is nothing.
In that case, what job would Nook Lane have?
Even if he is trapped in Wangyue Town, he is still alive.
How much food can there be in the sealed Wangyue Town?
Ten years, it’s been ten years!
Even if there was enough food left in the town when the incident occurred, in ten years, even if it was not eaten, it would be completely rotten.
How could Nook Lane survive without food?
Moreover, more than thirty saint-level masters failed to break through that strange barrier.
The high-ranking officials of the Dark Empire also tried, but ultimately failed, and even killed a holy-level Cyclops.
There were even rumors that the Holy Church even secretly sent out demigod-level masters in hiding during the first two years of Nok Lane's disappearance, but they failed to break the strange barrier in Mochizuki Town.
Therefore, Rochefort didn't believe even a dime of what Milady said about finding the missing Nock Lane.
With this suspicion, even if he heard Nok announcing his family status, he would think it was a lie.
"Hey, don't you want to come up and beat me? You should come up! As a woman, if you don't find a man to marry, you have to show off here, kill some idle goblins, and call yourself the goddess of war. Bah. !”
On the top of the city, seeing Milady being restrained by Nok, Rochefort quickly continued to provoke.
Seeing that he was about to achieve his goal, he didn't expect to be stopped by that stinky man.
But if Milady doesn't make a mistake, he can only make things difficult for the other party, but he can't take action directly.
"Damn it! If Sister Milady is not the God of War, is he? He is a coward!"
In the crowd, Old Jack cursed angrily in a low voice.
Everyone around who heard this nodded in unison, but no one reported Old Jack for insulting Shangguan.
Because even newcomers have heard of the shameful behavior of their strange commander.
It's just strange that instead of being dismissed from his post in recent years, he has been promoted to a higher rank.
On the contrary, those who show great prowess on the battlefield and achieve great achievements.
He only received a monetary reward, not even a promotion.
Don't know what's going on.
Little did the soldiers know that Rochefort had taken all the credit for their achievements.
But this has nothing to do with the conflict at hand, so let’s forget about it.
However, Nok, who was in front of the city gate, suddenly grinned and his eyes became dangerous when he heard the shouting above his head.
After ten years in Wangyue Town, he was no longer the timid Nock Lane he was before.
Not only did Jaina's deception change his character, but also his ability to advance to the Saint level served as the foundation.
As long as he, Nook Lane, does not betray the Holy Church and humanity, with his current strength, the Church will definitely support him!
Even if the church gives up on him because of the ten years he has been missing, he is still confident that he can make everyone fear him with his fists!
He glanced at the sky that turned into heavy snow, and said to the furious Milady: "Wait here for a moment, I don't have the habit of letting my back stand up for me."
With that said, the man took a step forward and disappeared from Milady's sight.
Rochefort on the city wall was provoking Milady with a nonchalant attitude.
But he also always pays attention to the actions under the city.
After all, he just wanted to set a trap for Milady, but he didn't intend to risk his life.
If Milady is young and energetic and wants to kill him without hesitation, wouldn't he be in danger?
As a result, he saw a figure below suddenly disappear.
"Damn it! Be on guard! Be on guard! Milady, the traitor, actually broke through!"
Rochefort shouted nervously, he brought his own bodyguard!
Everyone on the city wall couldn't help but look shocked when they heard Rochefort's words.
It’s over!
Although they couldn't stand Rochefort's making things difficult for Sister Milady, if Sister Milady really broke through, it would be a death penalty!
Commander Marco, who was originally waiting for reinforcements from the church, was also anxious.
He didn't understand that he had obviously sent someone to notify the Adventurer's Guild and the Holy Church first.
How come it was true that Rochefort came first, but the two union members were still missing.
At this moment, a voice appeared above everyone's heads.
"Hey, Rochefort, don't slander others. I, Nock Lane, still need a junior to stand up for me?"
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see Nok appearing on the battlements of the city wall behind them at some point, squatting there and looking at Rochefort indifferently.
His beard twitched twice: "Since you, Rochefort, want to trouble me, I, Nook Lane, will not spoil you.
Don’t you just think that Milady is young and energetic, and you want to trick her into passing the test and get her name punished?
No need to go to so much trouble, I'll give you this charge.
Now that I'm here, do you have the ability to punish me?
I, Nook Lane, will kill you with my own hands today in front of everyone in the Demon Suppressing Pass. Let’s see who dares to convict me and who can punish me!
That kid Louis can't do it, and neither can Richelieu! "
After saying that, Nok released the murderous intention in his body without any scruples.
boom!
Astonishing murderous intent rose into the sky, alarming everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
The people on the city wall were staggered by Nok's murderous intent, and were frightened!
