Smoke filled the air.
Locus stared at the passage in front of him with a sullen face, but he couldn't say anything.
And beside him, the Archbishop of Berson also has a rarely seen ashen face, his eyes which looks like a vulture is flashing with cold light.
To be honest, Locus also guessed that Viscount Balfe would use some means, but he didn't expect things to escalate to this extent.
It was originally just an ordinary dispute, but it turned into an all-out war. Looking around, the entire passage was filled with corpses. In addition to the majority of the soldiers killed by Jenn, there were also some who died in the battle between Jenn, Pattilina, and Gustav, and the rest were crushed to death by falling rocks.
Under the illumination of the fire, only the corpses covered by the rubble could be seen, as well as the flowing blood that dyed the entire passage red.
Even if Locus was mentally prepared, after seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble, as if he had walked into hell.
"Yo, Lord Paladin, aren't you a little too late?"
Sitting on a rock, Jenn still had that lazy and leisurely look.
And seeing him like this, Locus was infuriated.
He stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at Zayen, then shouted angrily!!
"Look at what you've done!!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Hearing Locus's roar, Jenn glanced at him disdainfully.
"I didn't call these soldiers, and I didn't attack them first.
Do you want me to stand there like an idiot and let them kill me? "
"You …!"
Hearing Jenn's answer, Locus was speechless and didn't know what to say.
He had already heard the ins and outs of the matter from Liam, which was why he hurried back.
But Locus didn't expect Jenn to be so strong. Not only did he kill hundreds of guards like cutting melons and vegetables, he didn't even let Viscount Balfe and his father go.
This is crazy!!
"Archbishop of Berson, you see …"
Facing this scene, Locus was at his wit's end.
He can only sigh secretly, and then looked at Berson Archbishop who is beside him.
Although it can be said that he and the Archbishop of Berson are not on good terms, but after all, they are people of the Temple.
Now that the Valkyrie had lost two nobles, they would definitely come looking for trouble with the Temple of the War God.
They didn't care who Jenn was. To the Valkyrie, a person had died on the Temple's territory, so the Temple had to give them an explanation!
This was a huge blow to the War God Shrine, which was already weak to begin with. If they were not careful, the War God Shrine might even fall apart and be completely destroyed!
But to capture Jenn?
If it was in the past, Locus might have considered it, but now, he wasn't willing to do so.
Firstly, Jenn was simply too strong. Whether or not they could capture him was another matter altogether.
Secondly, Jenn was the Temple's only hope, and he did not want to offend him.
As for the Duchy of Valkyrie … Since the two sides were already at odds with each other, there was no harm in offending them.
"Archbishop of Berson, what the hell is going on!!"
At this moment, beside the Archbishop of Berson, a fully armed officer looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face. He is one of the representatives of the Valkyrie Duchy responsible for supervising the portal.
Since this matter had become so big, he had naturally heard about it. Gustav and Balfe were both very important figures in the Valkyrie Principality. Not to mention that Gustav held military power, even his son Balfe was regarded as the future star of the Valkyrie Principality.
After all, Balfe was able to reach the Legendary Realm at such a young age, his future achievements were immeasurable.
But now, Gustav and Balfe both died here, which made the officer in front of him feel weak. He was sure that he was finished.
The two most important people of the Valkyrie Duchy died under his eyes. When the higher-ups knew about this, his good days would be over!
If he was lucky, he might be able to spend the rest of his life in prison, if not … Thinking of this, the officer couldn't help but tremble.
Then he hurriedly looked forward and angrily pointed at Jenn and shouted.
"You have guts, you actually dare to kill a noble of the Duchy!!
Come, arrest him!!
Arrest him!! "
But unfortunately, no matter how the officer roared, no one dared to obey his order to arrest him.
On the contrary, whether it was the Holy Knights or the soldiers who rushed over, all of them looked at the officer as if they were looking at a fool.
Was this guy really scared silly?
Didn't he see how ruthless he was? Even Balfe's personal guards were all killed, if they went up, wouldn't they also die?
At this moment, Jenn was sitting on a piece of gravel with a lazy look, looking at the crowd with a smile, as if he didn't have any lethality.
However, when paired with the countless broken limbs around him, it was even more frightening.
And when he heard the officer's words, Berson Archbishop turned his head and looked at him, then his pitch black eyes flashed with flickering radiance.
Then he raised his right hand and took out the holy emblem of the God of War.
Seeing this scene, everyone's face slightly changed. Nine Saints bless us, didn't we fight enough just now?
Is this the rhythm of opening up a second battlefield?
Seeing this scene, Locus was also surprised, then he hurriedly walked forward and wanted to say something.
But at this time, something happened.
Suddenly the holy emblem of Berson Archbishop emitted a bright radiance, it was like the scorching sun rays, shrouding Jenn and Pattilina's body.
Seeing this scene, including Locus, all the Holy Knights widened their eyes in surprise, as if they couldn't believe what they just saw.
And then, in the light, a sword and shield crossed emblem emerged out of thin air, then it turned into light dust and quickly disappeared in the air.
And then, the light that emerged from the holy emblem quietly dimmed down.
This is …
Seeing this scene, the officer was also stunned for a moment.
He thought that the Archbishop of Berson Archbishop was going to make a move, but looking at this situation, it seems like it wasn't the case?
"Archbishop of Berson Archbishop!
Please immediately give the order to catch this murderer!! "
"… …"
But out of the officer's expectation, not only the Archbishop of Berson didn't respond to him, even Captain Locus didn't respond to him. On the contrary, they frowned and looked at him as if they were looking at a clown.
Not only that, but the officer was also surprised to find that most of the Paladins around them were also looking at him with a hint of hostility.
What is going on?
"Mr. Jenn."
And at this time, the Archbishop of Berson Archbishop finally opened his mouth, but it was out of everyone's expectation, he was unprecedentedly polite.
"I'm really sorry to let you encounter this kind of thing, it was our inconsideration.
I promise you, this kind of thing will not happen again. "
"… …"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at the Archbishop, no matter if it was the mercenaries or the soldiers of the Duchy, all of them were dumbfounded.
They thought that Jenn went on a killing spree in the Holy Church's territory, not only he killed a lot of soldiers, but also two nobles of the Duchy.
This kind of behavior was simply challenging the dignity of the Duchy and the Church.
According to the logic, this time both sides should join hands to take him down.
But they didn't expect that the Archbishop of Berson Archbishop actually changed his words, protecting this murderer?
"Archbishop of Berson Archbishop, what do you mean by this?!"
Hearing this, the officer was also shocked.
What the hell is this?
This guy killed two important people of the Duchy!
And the Temple of War actually wanted to protect him, why?!
Don't they know that this will lead to the conflict between the Valkyrie and the Temple of War?
"Humph."
But at this moment, the Archbishop didn't even care about the officer, on the contrary, he looked at Jenn, respectfully extended his hand and made an inviting gesture.
"Mr. Jenn, it's not good to talk here.
I think you must be tired, why don't you go to the stronghold and rest for a while, then we can discuss about the exploration of the Underdark, what do you think? "
"Ha?!"
Hearing this, the onlookers behind them were completely stunned. What kind of show was he playing?
Could it be that this man has some unknown relationship with the Temple of War?
Hearing the Archbishop's words, Jenn didn't reply immediately, instead, he squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then he stood up and showed an elegant smile to the Archbishop.
"Since it's like this, then I'll accept your invitation."
What happened next was out of everyone's expectation, the Holy Knights respectfully welcomed Jenn and the others into the stronghold.
They didn't care about the Valkyrie's reaction at all, although the Valkyrie's guards tried to question them, but they were rejected, so they had no choice but to retreat first. The officer was furious and went to report this matter to the Valkyrie's higher ups, while the rest of the soldiers were responsible to clean up the corpses in the passage.
Seeing that there was no more drama to watch, the group of mercenaries immediately dispersed, but this didn't hinder their enthusiasm to talk about this matter.
After all, no matter if it was Jenn's tyrannical strength, plus his' heroic act 'of killing two nobles, or the strange reaction of the Temple of War, all of these were rare topics to talk about. But what everyone didn't understand was … Why did Jenn kill so many people, but the temple still treated him so well?
Could it be that they were afraid of this killing god?
"Master, I really don't understand."
At this moment, Elyse also frowned, his face was puzzled.
When she first received the invitation from the Holy Knights, Elyse thought it was a delaying tactic, they planned to let down her guard and then take them down in one fell swoop.
But what Elyse didn't expect was that these Holy Knights actually treated them with respect, not only they arranged the best room in the stronghold, but also specially prepared a lot of refreshments for them.
It didn't look like they were holding a prisoner. Instead, it looked like they were entertaining a distinguished guest.
What the hell is going on?
Originally, Elyse thought that with Jenn and her behavior, even if the Holy Knights didn't capture them, they wouldn't be nice to them, but now it seemed that the situation wasn't like that.
This made Elyse quite puzzled, and he couldn't figure out how this script was written.
"I can guess a little, of course, these are just guesses.
But there's one thing for sure … "
Zayen leaned against the sofa, picked up the black tea beside him, and took a sip. Then he said, "That's right.
"… That is, the position of the God of War is still vacant."
