A couple carrying packages hid in the distance, looking at Su Xiao with horror in their eyes.
"I, I, I am a messenger sent by God. Even if Your Majesty wants to sentence me to death, I must get God's approval!" High Priest Zab shouted at the top of his lungs.
It is obvious that the high priest Mr. Zab is an out-and-out charlatan.
Even at such a critical moment of life and death, he was still fantasizing about God's approval, trying to escape the fate of death.
Su Xiao had a blank expression on his face as he slowly walked towards the high priest Zabo.
Perhaps Zab was too frightened at this moment, he frantically pulled his wife over and put her in front of him.
The beautiful woman was stunned. Just a few minutes ago, she was fully prepared to die with her husband.
In her opinion, her husband was a devout messenger of God and someone worthy of entrusting her life to.
She even fantasized that even if she were to die today, they would go to the kingdom of God together.
However, this small pull was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering all the beautiful woman's fantasies.
"Iron Hand, I can give you anything you want, money or women."
High Priest Zab threw the package on his back to Su Xiao. With a snap, gems and gold coins scattered on the ground.
Click, click...Su Xiao stepped on the gems and gold coins.
"I have a daughter, her name is Elena, she is already 13 years old. If you let me go, I will give her to you."
High Priest Zab's will to survive is extremely strong, so strong that he has lost all his bottom line.
"Hahaha, what am I saying, God? Are you punishing me? Punishing me for those worse than pigs and dogs things I have done." High Priest Zab suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky, his laughter filled with despair and madness.
The high priest of the temple who was once high and mighty has now become a pathetic wretch.
Suddenly, veins popped up on High Priest Zab's face.
"Bai Herbert, you will be punished!!"
High Priest Zab roared the king's name, drew a long dagger from his waist, and hugged his wife.
With a swish sound, the dagger instantly pierced through the beautiful woman's chest and also stabbed into the body of the high priest Zabo himself. The dagger was highly poisonous.
"Anjiya, forgive me."
The high priest whispered his wife's name.
"Um,"
The beautiful woman nestled in the arms of the high priest.
"Even though I said such ugly words, you still forgave me. You are the gift God gave me." The high priest's face gradually turned blue. The poison had begun to take effect, and his body was shaking slightly.
"How could that be? You're just too scared. We don't have a daughter at all." The beautiful woman's voice became weaker and weaker, and her body gradually went limp.
"Bai Herbert, and you, Iron Hand, wait! I am looking forward to your miserable state in hell. The angry dead gate will eat you alive. The one hidden under the throne..."
Puff, puff, puff...
The sound of hacking and killing drowned out the high priest's roar. The guards who were watching the show nearby waved their swords and chopped the high priest and his wife into pieces.
"Ok?"
Lin Yi frowned after seeing this scene. According to normal procedures, the Imperial Guards cannot attack officials at will, otherwise it will cause great trouble.
The same would be true even if there was a secret order from the old king, because it involves questions of political stance.
After the guards dismembered the high priest and his wife, they quickly came to Lin Yi and knelt on one knee.
Just now, they overstepped their authority.
Today Lin Yi represents the old king's will, so all the guards knelt near Lin Yi.
As long as Lin Yi gave the order and asked these guards to commit suicide, these guys would not hesitate at all.
"The Iron Hands executed the high priest, leaving no one alive in the courtyard."
Hearing Lin Yi's order, the surrounding guards stood up and began to clear out the servants in the high priest's house.
With the high priests being purged, only Chief Judge Elvi Anthony, who lives in the south of the royal capital, is left alive.
Half an hour later, several people stared at an old courtyard in the suburbs of the royal capital. This was the residence of Chief Justice Elvi. Although the area here was not small, it looked a bit shabby. If Su Xiao was not very clear about the character of this chief judge, he would have thought that he was an honest official.
This purge operation certainly cannot be carried out by assassination, but rather a large-scale killing must be carried out to intimidate those officials in the capital who are ready to make moves as the power struggle is about to begin.
"Emu, get ready."
"Leave no one behind."
With a loud bang, Am rushed out like a powerful tank and directly smashed the outer wall of the Chief Justice's family courtyard.
"Enemy attack!!"
As the roar sounded, an angry roar was heard from the dark courtyard, noisy footsteps were heard, and flashes of fire appeared.
In less than ten seconds, the courtyard was illuminated by dozens of torches, and "soldiers" holding round shields rushed out of the castle in the center of the courtyard like a tide.
But unfortunately, although these soldiers were carefully trained by Chief Judge Elvy, they were no match for the killing machines brought by Lin Yi.
These guards have all experienced countless life and death experiences outside the Wall of God. It can be said that they are people who have truly crawled out of a pile of corpses and have seen too much blood and cruelty.
How could these soldiers who had never seen blood be a match for these guards?
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Guards tore through the opponent's defense line in an instant like a sharp knife, and rushed into the courtyard of Chief Judge Elvi with unstoppable force.
Su Xiao walked through the crowd, the blade flashed, two heads flew up, and a moment later, he appeared in the center of the courtyard, in front of the slightly old castle.
boom.
Su Xiao walked calmly through the crowd, the long sword in his hand flashed, the sword light lit up, and two heads flew up instantly.
A moment later, he appeared in the center of the courtyard, in front of the slightly old castle.
"Bang!" Wood chips flew everywhere, and Su Xiao kicked the main door of the castle into pieces.
What comes into view is a very wide staircase.
A bald strong man was standing above the stairs. There was a lizard tattooed on his bald head, which looked very ferocious.
"I heard that you are the strongest warrior in the capital? I'm curious about how strong the strongest warrior is among the fools in the capital. The real strong ones are on the front lines, and only fools stay in the capital to enjoy themselves." The bald strong man said loudly while stretching his muscles.
His pupils are green, but he is not a Undead. There is only one possibility, that he is a holy warrior who rebelled against the kingdom.
Money makes the world go round, let alone a holy warrior? Even the old king was jealous of Chief Judge Elvi's wealth. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 613. Rowan Harvey prepares to defect (612K chapter, please subscribe, please vote)
613.
In a mansion near the royal palace, Rowan Harvey's eyes were fixed on the outskirts.
"It looks like the dog that the old man raised has started to attack other people. It's time for you to retreat." A deep voice came from behind Rowan Harvey.
I saw a figure in a black robe quietly appearing in the shadows. It was a Undead.
He had two daggers gleaming with cold light on his waist, exuding a sinister aura.
When Rowan Harvey was competing for the position of Kingdom Treasurer, this Undead had helped Rowan Harvey deal with his political enemies more than once, and each mission could be said to be flawless.
Otherwise, with Rowan Harvey's ordinary background, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to get to where he is today.
"Dunk, what does Luper mean?"
Rowan Harvey now looked completely different from his old appearance during the day. Although Rowan Harvey still looked like an old man, only he himself could feel the surging vitality in his body.
You know, the lifespan of the Undead is much longer than that of humans.
Even Rowan Harvey, a half-blood, is only equivalent to a young man among the Undead.
The black-robed Undead Dunk responded, "Lord Luper asked you to evacuate as soon as possible. Although the old king's cleanup operation did not affect you this time, I'm afraid he has doubts about you in his heart."
"Is there anything wrong on my part?" Rowan Harvey sighed, looking helpless.
As the kingdom's treasurer, he had to deal with the old king, a very shrewd guy, every day.
During this process, his inner vigilance reached its peak, for fear that the old king would notice something unusual at some point.
He was careful and cautious in everything he did, and every decision he made was carefully considered. However, he did not expect that despite all his calculations, the old king, a shrewd man, would eventually find out what was wrong.
"You don't have any flaws, or rather, having no flaws is the biggest flaw. And Lord Rupert said that most of your previous opponents died inexplicably. The old king has now begun to secretly investigate your identity. I'm afraid that in a few days, the fake identity you created before will be exposed." Dunknick lowered his head slightly and conveyed Rupert's words to Rowan Harvey word by word.
Now, almost all the power of the Undead in the capital is serving Rowan Harvey.
From this, we can see how much importance the Undead attach to Rowan Harvey.
After all, although Undead Lords are rare, one will appear every ten years or so.
However, there is only one Undead person like Rowan Harvey who is a half-human with such outstanding qualifications in the Undead race in thousands of years.
And Rowan Harvey did not disappoint the Undead's expectations.
He secretly sent a lot of crucial military intelligence to the Undead.
The intelligence was like a sharp sword, directly destroying the secret base built by the kingdom outside the Wall of God and forcibly suppressing the kingdom's military power inside the Wall of God.
Everyone in the kingdom thought that the Undead were lucky and discovered the kingdom's secret base. They never suspected that someone had leaked the location of the secret base.
In their opinion, the Undead might have accidentally discovered this important military stronghold through continuous reconnaissance and exploration.
Of course, the old king had conducted secret investigations.
However, under Rupert's command, Rowan Harvey did not do anything out of line at the time.
Moreover, Rowan Harvey did not openly know the location of the secret base at the time.
He learned about this when he overheard a general bragging to his men while having dinner in a tavern.
Because of this, the old king couldn't find any evidence against him.
But the old king has always adhered to the principle of not employing people if you doubt them, and trusting people if you employ them.
As soon as he began to doubt Rowan Harvey, he began to prepare to replace Rowan Harvey from the position of kingdom's treasurer.
This decision was not made hastily. The old king was well aware of the importance of the position of treasurer. If any problem occurred, it could have a serious impact on the economy and stability of the entire kingdom.
This is also the reason why Rowan Harvey had directly used a secret letter to ask old King Su Xiao whether he was prepared to deal with him.
He already knew that the old king was secretly training someone who could take over the kingdom's finances.
Although Rowan Harvey thought that his accounts were flawless, this kind of thing is always a time bomb.
If this incident were to be discovered, Rowan Harvey would be wiped out.
"Tomorrow, after the Iron Hand has cleared out these officials, the old king is said to be hosting a banquet for his ministers and the crown princes who will soon arrive in the capital. By then, Lord Rupert will have arranged a retreat for you." Dunknik said as he took out a secret letter from his pocket.
This letter contains a series of plans carefully formulated by Rupert. As long as they are implemented according to the plan, Rowan Harvey can quietly leave the huge vortex of the royal capital.
"What a generous deal. I don't know how Rupert did it. Even the royal family has his people." Rowan Harvey exclaimed, his tone full of amazement.
He slowly unfolded the secret letter and his eyes moved quickly across the letter paper.
As he read deeper, he became more and more frightened.
No one knew better than him how terrifying the palace was.
It is unbelievable that Rupert was able to insert people into the clan. He is worthy of being the intelligent brain of the Undead Clan. His methods are indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
On Lin Yi's side, a bald strong man walked down the stairs. He was tall and strong, with bulging muscles all over his body. It seemed that his close combat ability was quite strong.
But he did not wear heavy armor like ordinary warriors, but wore a light brown leather armor, which looked very light.
The sturdy man clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly there was a crisp sound of "click, click".
He wore a pair of black gloves on his fists, with metal plates inlaid on the fists, wrapping his fists tightly like a layer of metal armor.
"My name is Joseko. To use the words of your nobles, I am now just a peasant, a hyena mercenary who is willing to do anything for money." Joseko had a smile on his face, which, combined with the lizard tattoo on his bald head, gave people a sense of ferocity and brutality.
But if you look closely, you can find a hint of loneliness deep in his pupils, but he deliberately conceals this loneliness so that it is not easily noticed.
"Yoseko, the former deputy commander of the Angori War Zone, defected after killing nobles privately, and became a mercenary after changing his identity." At this moment, Hicks' voice sounded behind Lin Yi, directly revealing Joseko's identity.
Joseko's green eyes narrowed slightly, as if two balls of green flames were dancing in them.
"Who are you? Why do you know my identity?" Joseph's voice echoed in the air like thunder.
His eyes were fixed on Hicks, trying to find the answer from the other's face.
After a moment of silence, Joseph's eyes became more ferocious, and he said coldly: "Forget it, since you know my true identity, everyone here today must die."
