Seeing the reinforcements arriving, Jiang Tian also put away the evil sword. The reason why he does not use this sword easily is also very simple; because once the alien is killed by this evil thing, Jiang Tian will not see any hint of free energy collection in his field of vision, and it seems to be absorbed by the weapon itself.
On the other hand, the appearance of this thing is very problematic. It doesn't look like a decent person would use it; it looks more like a prop used by villains to show off and create terror. If you display and use it in public too much, it will still have an impact on the persona and image you strive to create, and even your long-term reputation.
More than ten minutes later, with the inheritance knights and other reinforcements coming from all directions, they were pressed and surrounded step by step; the black-armored attackers who screamed repeatedly at the scene had no way to escape; they were successively attacked by volleys of fire cannons. It was blown over and ignited on the spot by thrown explosives and incendiary cans.
Although trapped in a tight siege, these black-armored attackers, whose bodies were constantly smoking, also carried out a stubborn resistance in a certain sense; including one of them, who suddenly let out a sharp whistling sound, and the entire group of people did not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. He temporarily held his head and ears and fell down; he rolled on the ground.
Then there was another attacker, who summoned a large swarm of bats from the nearby forest and circled into the following soldiers. This immediately affected their vision and caused quite a bit of chaos. The third man opened his black robe without hesitation, and a cloud of mist exploded on the spot.
As this thin mist quickly dispersed and expanded on the road, it also shrouded the remaining dozen attackers and besieging soldiers, and blocked most of the long-range vision and shooting range. . The hunter groups and heritage knights present also took action.
One of the inheritance knights, who was carrying a huge and conspicuous jar, with the help of his companions, raised a long pipe and suddenly sprayed a large stream of fierce fire at the bats hovering in the sky; these invisible things were immediately burned. The creatures controlled by the power hissed and fell like rain on the spot.
And in the mist, there was a sharp scream; then, it became the best target guide. With the sound of a short trumpet, soldiers in twos and threes retreated from the fog one after another; the next moment, the four-pounder cannons dragged to the scene and the knight's special hand cannon were fired in unison.
In an instant, the large canopy of shotguns with white smoke trails almost rained down on them and covered them in the mist, tearing them apart and scattering them on the spot. Immediately, it was revealed that the inside was smashed and blasted with broken limbs, or indistinguishable rotten flesh all over the floor.
Several groups of hunters followed closely and pounced on the few remaining fish that had escaped the net; they saw their stomachs broken and limbs mutilated, blood dripping all over the ground, and they were struggling to escape into the forest on the roadside. Then a long-handled hook with a chain was thrown out, hitting and piercing it.
Later, a certain ranger team expanded the scope and discovered a rather secret temporary stronghold and many dormant traces arranged in the nearby woodland. But this is not the end of the matter. The investigation of this serial assassination, or a blatant attack halfway, has just begun.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tian, who returned to the city to receive visits and condolences, also received preliminary reports from on-site inspections and interrogations; these attackers were divided into three waves of different origins; the heavy armored soldiers among them were northerners. If not Unexpectedly, it is suspected to be the knight inheritance of the North.
…
Another group of strange-looking attackers came from the Hessian Territory, which is rich in mercenaries, bandits, and killers; members of an underground world called the Beast Mercenary Group; it has been confirmed that a large number of various types of attackers have gathered among them. People with lycanthropy will do anything for money.
The last group of attackers in black armor/black robes are the real meat and key of the show. They are actually a group of well-trained and well-equipped blood demons with unique specialties and abilities, belonging to a secret organization called the Society of Scarlet Rose; however, a problem arises.
What kind of existence could bring these three forces together and plan this attack? Could it be a counterattack from the Burgundian dynasty? Although there was no way to touch the established army, they sent out forces belonging to the underground world and the mysterious side?
Or it was a serious warning and threat from the Holy Kingdom, or the Western Empire took private action. But no matter what, this matter must be investigated thoroughly; after all, as outsiders, these three forces must have someone in the local area to provide shelter and cover in a short period of time.
In addition, there is also severe purge and investigation within the Free Army, with the city of Lyon as the core. At least Jiang Tian, as the commander of the Free Army and the leader of the national salvation government, did not just look at what was known about his travel schedule and possible routes.
There are currently two suspected sources of leaks, one of which is in the secret camp of the "Iron Cavalry Manor"; and the other is in the attendant's room and related personnel. In fact, Jiang Tian did not intend to cover up or conceal his assassination, but instead ordered it to be made public.
And in the following days, the corpses and equipment of the killed beastmen, blood demons and heavy armored warriors were publicly displayed in the city of Lyon; and then in terms of publicity and public opinion, the spearhead was pointed directly at Burgundy in the north. Dynasty, denounced and denounced its criminal acts of colluding with aliens.
In this connection, a vigorous manhunt was launched across the city, and a registration and inspection system for outsiders in surrounding towns and villages was established. At the same time, local residents also offered huge rewards for reporting and exposing all suspicious people and deeds that may exist around them; the results I actually gained something.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. In addition to being caught fishing in troubled waters, a large number of hooligans and scoundrels were arrested; there were also many suspected spies and spies among them who were also arrested one after another. The final doubts and clues all converge on one suspect.
This person is Sir Seaman, a large local ship merchant in Lyon City, the vice president of the Water Transport Association, and the largest patron of the Sacred Heart Asylum, one of the two poor hospitals in the city. Therefore, compared to those aristocratic officials who were extravagant and lustful, his reputation among the local people was pretty good.
Even though the Free Army occupied the city of Lyon and began to liquidate the old aristocratic forces in the surrounding provinces, it did not affect him much; they only banned and took over the shares of merchants and associations that originally belonged to the nobility, and sent accountants to supervise the accounts; More initiatives are coming.
But I didn't expect that such a top figure with a good reputation and reputation, who was quite disciplined, low-key and restrained during the occupation of the Free Army, would actually use his own industry to secretly shelter and cover assassination gangs sent by other forces?
…
After all, the Free Army, as a foreign political power, has not occupied the local area for a long time. Therefore, even among local businessmen who secretly collude and communicate with the North through various channels, thinking that there is a possibility of finding a way out, there are still many people. But taking chestnuts from the fire is another matter.
However, no one can answer this answer for the time being. When members of the Gendarmerie Company and the Special Service Company rushed into the suburban manor where Sir Seaman was recovering at home due to illness, all they saw were the courtyard where the servants had been dismissed, a body that had committed suicide by poisoning, and a suicide note.
This suicide note, which has been read a lot, admitted that under the instructions of a certain benefactor in the past, he secretly entrained and transferred a group of people southward by taking advantage of the opportunity of the Free Army to receive the northern fugitives; and he regretted all the consequences he had caused. To apologize with death...
Despite this, the Free Army took this incident as an opportunity to launch a so-called "cleansing campaign" against dozens of large and small city guilds in the Lyon area. In addition to bringing in merchant groups from Avignon, Toulouse, Alais, Mende and other places;
On the basis of mutual differentiation and mutual checks and balances, auditors and military representatives with government backgrounds were dispatched to settle in, and preliminary commercial regulations and arbitration systems were established... When the time came to the Moon of Flowers (April), Jiang Tian also took matters into his own hands. The last alien was executed.
As a new prompt suddenly appeared in the field of vision: "Space-time Hole No. 2, completed simultaneously; yes/no activation (transition module)". He couldn't help but laugh with relief; after being accidentally thrown into this medieval time and space for several years, he could finally go back to his original world.
However, even if the opportunity to return is in sight, Jiang Tian will not abandon his existing foundation, the many followers in this time and space, and even the women with whom he has initially established a bond. Later, he held a grand consecration mass at the Cathedral Saint-Jean in Lyon.
Archbishop Stephen from Notre-Dame de Avignon will be appointed as the acting archbishop of the southeastern archdiocese of the Kingdom; Elder Faria from the Saint-Islam Hospital of Toulouse will be appointed as the acting archbishop of the southwestern archdiocese of the kingdom. bishop. Other appointments followed.
Among them, Father Lacha was also promoted to the chief bishop/priest of the Free Army, and also headed the devotional prayer meeting. Duval, the leader of the Heritage Knights, also became the leader of the newly established Redemption Knights. After arranging many personnel matters, Jiang Tian also announced that he would enter penance and meditation.
Then he came alone to the city, on the top of the Forwell Hill, which has the highest terrain and the best view, and the only remaining sentry tower built with volcanic ash cement in the Roman era. Looking at the bustling and bustling panoramic view of the city, as well as the heavily guarded guards and knights under the tower...
The next moment, Jiang Tian chose "Activate (Transition Module)" with his mind. In an instant, he suddenly felt an inexplicable vibration from the void. Then, it was as if some invisible fetal membrane was torn open and a small slit opened; in an instant, indescribable things flowed out.
At the same time, most of the livestock and animals in the city of Lyon seemed to be vaguely aware of it, vibrating in the faint void; suddenly they started to neigh and roar. After struggling to accumulate ten energy units, Jiang Tian gradually disappeared like a bubble.
However, when the guards under the tower came to knock on the door to ask for instructions and inquiries, they received a calm response from inside.
