"I didn't expect to see you here either, Mr. Jenn."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Bishop Howard couldn't help but sigh. He looked around, only to see pitch-black wreckage.
After being slaughtered by Jenn and Enoya, bombarded by the battleship, and smashed by Pattilina and the Gold Saint, there was nothing left.
Even the corpses were only left with small pieces of flesh, and the parts that were smashed into meat paste were burnt black by the flames to the point that it was impossible to tell what they were originally …
But maybe this is better.
Looking at Jenn, who had a leisurely smile on his face, Bishop Howard wasn't as calm as before.
In fact, after discussing about cooperating with Jenn, Bishop Howard had also sent people to inquire about this decorated noble's experience. Although the Holy Church was a union, they belonged to different churches and believed in different gods, after all, so the flow of information was naturally not that convenient.
However, because the Holy Church had only given him a decorated noble title in recent years, Bishop Howard didn't have to spend too much effort to find out about this young man.
However, the information he received made Howard very worried.
Howard could naturally get the information that the nobles could gather. Besides, as an internal member of the Church of Holy Light, the information he received was much more detailed than the nobles.
Hence, Howard soon realized that he might have gotten himself into big trouble.
In the intelligence report, there was nothing strange about Zayen's background and how he obtained his knighthood. What caught Howard's attention was another aspect.
That was, this young knight was rather ruthless, arrogant, and unyielding.
In fact, he had done an earth-shattering deed in the Underdark. He had personally killed the famous General Gustav and his son Balfe of the Valkyrie, who had collaborated with the Church of Holy Light, as well as hundreds of elite Valkyrie soldiers.
The cause was that General Gustav's son's subordinate had molested Jenn's maid and was discovered by Jenn, who then killed him.
Balfe, who could not swallow his anger, led his elite soldiers to besiege Jenn for revenge.
But he did not expect Zayen to be so powerful that he slaughtered almost all the elite troops sent by the Duchy of Valkyrie to the Underdark. Viscount Balfe also died under his sword, and General Gustav was killed when he tried to avenge his child.
From then on, Zayen became the most wanted criminal in the Valkyrie Principality.
If it was anyone else who did such a thing, not only would they not be rewarded by the Holy Church, they would even be judged by the Holy Church.
However, Jenn wasn't tried or arrested. The reason was simple. After the war, he received the glory of the God of War, and this was seen as the will of the God of War by the War God Shrine. Therefore, Jenn wasn't punished.
In the end, the Holy Church also suppressed this matter. Now, except for the internal members of the Valkyrie, almost no one knew about this matter.
Originally, Howard was still a little skeptical about this piece of information. No matter what, this matter was a little too unbelievable.
But because of this, he also knew that Zayen was quite a dangerous person. More importantly, he never seemed to think about the consequences when he did things. Or rather, the thing this young man was best at was blowing things up until it got out of hand.
More importantly, he had the ability to make the whole thing bigger.
If it was said that Howard still had some doubts about this in the past, the scene in front of him now had completely told him that it wasn't an exaggerated rumor, but a fact.
He had already heard about what happened from Locke. This idiot Alexander had been causing trouble for a long time. To be honest, the Holy Church was also very annoyed by his reckless behavior.
But as a religion, they naturally had to consider their own influence. If they rashly interfered, they might even cause a backlash from the Scal Federation.
But now, looking at everything in front of him, Howard knew that he no longer had to worry about what Alexander's future would be like.
But even he didn't expect Jenn to have no scruples at all and start a fight in Wallfor. This was a battle in the Legendary realm, after all. If one wasn't careful, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to destroy half the city.
But now, what could he say?
Things had already turned out this way, and he didn't need to look to know that the Flame Guards and the garrison fleet were completely destroyed. From tomorrow onwards, the entire Wallfor would fall into chaos again.
In fact, Howard was completely speechless.
"You shouldn't have come here, Bishop Howard."
Jenn swept a glance at the battlefield that was emitting thick black smoke. Pattilina had already put away her spear and stood behind Jenn like a meek kitten, as though the one who destroyed this place wasn't her at all.
On the other side, the Gold Saint coughed as she walked out of the black smoke. Although her strength and the heavy armor she wore saved her life, it was apparent from the uneven and tattered armor she wore that she had suffered serious injuries.
"If I didn't come, would you have torn down the entire Wallfor?"
Upon hearing Zayen's complaint, Howard shot him an annoyed look, then shifted his gaze to the Gold Saints beside him.
"And you, Erin!
What did I tell you? You actually got into a fight with him!! "
"But, Bishop …"
At this moment, the Gold Saint also took off her helmet, revealing a beautiful and heroic face.
She shook her shoulder-length hair, knitted her brows, and glared at Jenn in dissatisfaction.
"When I rushed here, I happened to see him trying to kill this innocent person behind me, so …"
"I beg to differ with you, young lady."
Enoya, who had been silent all this while, finally walked out from Zayen's side. She raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Zayen's response.
"Without knowing the cause and effect, I think it's best if you don't label someone as innocent, innocent, weak, and so on.
At least in my opinion, someone who mobilized an army and summoned warships to harm and kill us isn't innocent in any way. "
"Argh …"
Pattilina was good at fighting, but Enoya's words were as sharp as blades. The female holy knight was speechless for a moment. She stared at Enoya and cowered under her stern gaze.
But in the end, she let out a snort and said.
"No matter what, as a holy knight, I can't possibly watch others' lives be in danger without doing anything."
"Pfft."
Pattilina spat in disdain.
"I didn't see you shouting any slogans when he brought people to kill us. You came out to protect our lives when we wanted to kill him?
You slut, don't tell me you're having an affair with that male dog? I didn't expect you to be so promiscuous. You even want this kind of man … "
"You … You … You're spouting nonsense!"
Pattilina's vulgar curses instantly made the female holy knight blush. She had never met anyone who dared to spout such filthy words in front of her.
And now, Pattilina was spouting nonsense in front of her. Although the female holy knight didn't intend to be calculative with Pattilina because she was just a little girl, her hooligan behavior infuriated the female holy knight.
"I don't know this man at all. I'm just fulfilling my duty as a holy knight …"
"Tsk, you're just an idiot …"
Hearing the female holy knight's explanation, Pattilina humphed coldly, and was about to say something, but at this moment, Jenn had already reached out and patted Pattilina's little head gently. Hence, she immediately shut her mouth unwillingly. At the same time, she did not forget to glare at the female holy knight. She then raised her right hand, clamped her thumb between her index and ring finger, shook it at her, and then raised her middle finger.
Although she did not know what it meant, the female holy knight obviously knew that it was not a good gesture. However, under the gaze of Archbishop Howard, she did not say anything in the end, and simply stood at the side.
At this moment, Bishop Howard and Jenn had already begun talking again.
"This has nothing to do with the church, Bishop Howard. This is a dispute between us nobles, and should be resolved by us nobles.
Mr. Alexander has repeatedly regarded my tolerance as cowardice, and even openly mocked my family and tried to hurt my followers and subordinates. This is absolutely unforgivable. "
"I admit that Alexander has indeed gone overboard this time …"
Upon hearing this, Bishop Howard also frowned. Nobles also had their bottom lines. Alexander had mobilized his army, openly surrounded Jenn, and attacked him. That had already crossed that bottom line.
Besides, Howard was also a little displeased with Alexander. Jenn was a decorated noble who was protected by the Church of Holy Light. Did you not think about the Church of Holy Light when you were looking for trouble with him?
Or are you saying that you don't care about the Church of Holy Church at all?
"But you didn't have to make such a big commotion. Now, the entire Wallfor is going crazy. Many people think that there are monsters or barbarians who have broken into the city …"
"What's wrong with doing refuge training occasionally? That way, when their city really falls, they will be more familiar with running."
As he spoke, Zayen shrugged his shoulders insincerely.
"I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you, but unfortunately, I will not change my decision."
At this point, Jenn looked at the pale-faced Alexander again.
"He has to die."
"You can't do that!"
Upon hearing this, Bishop Howard was shocked. After all, the situation would be completely different if Alexander were to die.
No matter who was right or wrong, as long as Alexander died, the Soros Family would definitely retaliate. When that time came … It would become a huge problem!
