Chapter 497 The Holy Cross
Shengzhang Cross is a very small town. The town is not very crowded and not rich in business. It is a relatively closed place. It is surrounded by mountains in the south, and the small country Dolan is less than thirty miles north. There are mudstone paths on both sides of the east and west. This environment is very suitable for separatist.↑,.
Even if the seven pillars and one plaque are the facade of the town, you can see everything at a glance. The two sides are lined up one after another, and there are not many pedestrians on the spacious streets.
It was already dusk, and there was only a night market here for ten days and half a month, so the townspeople often returned home early and slept until the next day to continue working.
The guards riding tall horses were patrolling the streets from time to time. This was just a storefront. Everyone knew that this place was very safe. Not long ago, the invasion of the Sixth Hell and the disaster of the resurrection of the evil spirits did not spread here.
Roger glanced at and found a restaurant. For some reason, the two-story restaurant business was very deserted. Until the boss brought the noodles to the restaurant, he was the only one in the restaurant.
Roger casually picked up a mouthful and asked, "Boss, your noodles taste good, why is the business so deserted?"
The boss glanced at him, put down his pen and smiled, "Young man, are you a foreigner?"
Roger nodded: "I came from Dolan, come here to transport some sesame oil."
The boss laughed and said, "No wonder you don't know. This place has been a little uneasy recently. Some time ago, an army came from somewhere. They went to the town mayor's house to remove his position without saying a word and changed the name here to 'Holy Chapter Cross'."
"Then the mayor is dissatisfied. Will he fight him to the end?" Roger asked.
The boss shook his head: "How can the mayor have that ability? He admitted his defeat after his seat was removed. However, another army came last month. There were not many people in that army, but they were all very powerful. They all wanted to take charge of the town, so they fought hard."
Roger said: "But I don't think it's like fighting a lot outside."
The boss said, "They didn't fight fiercely, and they seemed to be a little worried." He lowered his voice and said, "And, a few days ago, there were only a few more than thirty people, but they were all so powerful that they were both afraid of them, so they fought less and less. But I guess they still had to fight these days."
Roger smiled and said, "So there are three parties now?"
"Shh, whisper, don't say I didn't remind you, the group of people who came last are upstairs now. You are a foreigner, so be careful." The boss made a move to silence.
Roger nodded to express his gratitude.
I glanced upstairs and found that there was no sound of cups. They were very quiet.
"Those are nothing, I heard that the noise outside is so big."
The food on the upstairs was finished, and the boss was idle and started to talk to Roger again.
Roger said: "Outside?"
The boss nodded: "In the Holy City, I heard that there was a demon named 'Roger' who killed all the refugees in the Holy City. Alas, it's a sin."
Unexpectedly, he was talking about himself.
In fact, this did not injure him at all. At the end of the Battle of St. Panin, the five thousand civilians were indeed killed by Alice.
Roger smiled and said, "Oh? Why did he kill so many people? It's not a murderer, right?"
The boss shook his head: "Who knows? Some people say he is a butcher. He was notorious for a long time, while others say he actually doesn't want to kill people. He killed the resurrected evil spirits and gods."
"It would be fine if the evil ghost was really killed. If he killed God, how brave would he have to be?"
He made an exaggerated prayer gesture. His hands whipped their foreheads and chests a few times, muttering something in his mouth.
Roger was amused by his actions and said, "He is also a well-known and criticized person, just like the Alex Emperor back then. Some people say he is an iron-blooded butcher, and some people say he is the emperor of the ages. Let's leave these for future generations to comment on."
As I was talking, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves coming from outside, but the number of people seemed to be not very large.
Roger could hear clearly that the sound of horse hooves came from the south, but there was a faint sound of wind in the north, as if someone was walking on the roof like the wind.
Soon the sound of swords and soldiers coming, and the sound seemed to be fighting fiercely.
The boss's face changed. After turning to the door, he took out a door panel and blocked the door.
"Young man, please hide here now. I guess they will finish the fight in half an hour."
Roger was about to refuse, but suddenly heard a cold snorkeling coming from the upper floor.
"It's them again",
"Hmph, go",
It was a woman's annoyed voice, and then a group of people strode down from the upper floor, holding shields and light cavalry in their hands, making little noise when they walked.
They were wearing silver armor, and each of them had a pure white angel wing badge on their shoulders. Roger recognized them at a glance, but they all walked in a hurry and didn't see Roger.
The woman in the lead had a cold temperament and strode forward and said, "Boss, don't close the door, they can't get here."
After saying that, nearly 40 people walked out of the restaurant.
"Yes, yes", the boss watched them walk out of the restaurant blankly.
Roger stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "I'll go out and have a look, you don't need to be closed, they won't hurt you."
He said this, but the sound of swords and weapons getting closer and closer, and the more the two men fought, the closer they got to the small restaurant.
Roger stood at the restaurant door with his hands behind his back and watched the warring men on both sides and the Templars who were advancing quickly.
The crusaders in the north were naturally galloping on the horse's back. Although their original green uniforms were all changed to dark blue, Roger still recognized them at a glance. Igniz, the leader, was still so cunning. He used the maneuverability of the cavalry to fight guerrilla warfare. One team of cavalry only attacked once, then left after the attack, and the other team attacked.
The other man in white was led by two women. The two women seemed to have known Igniz's tactics for a long time. They led less than three hundred men in white to rush left and right to scatter the cavalry. Their mobility was not weaker than that of the cavalry with horses.
The two sides fought hard. Some of the townsmen closed their doors and some quietly stretched their heads out of the window to watch the battle.
The Templars soon entered the battle group, and they were too brave to take it, but both sides ignored them and continued to fight mobile warfare. The battlefield continued to expand and became closer and closer to this small restaurant.
Then, people near the restaurant disappeared.
At first no one noticed this inconspicuous place, but soon all three parties noticed the abnormality here, and the battlefield became quieter and quieter until it finally became silent.
