Chapter 155: A tragic victory! Question from the messenger of God!

"You bastard! Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you!" Gonzalez was almost mad.

He wanted to kill Riven right away, but his reason told him that he had to endure it for now.

So the two of them started to fight each other.

As time passed, Gonzalez went from being confident at first to doubtful and finally becoming anxious.

It didn't make sense, in his estimation, Riven should have collapsed long ago.

Is it so easy to maintain the compound combustion technique?

But this guy did it, and it looks like he can hold on for a long time.

But the battle on the city wall can't wait any longer.

He decided to test Riven, so he jumped towards the top of the city wall, but Riven locked onto him in an instant, and terrifying flames were about to burst out.

At the same time, two people appeared from the top of the city wall to stop him. They were Angel and Lanster.

Gonzalez fell back helplessly.

Finally, the battle on the city wall came to an end.

Although the Holy People had a large number of people, the Lentini defenders were too elite. Especially after they became familiar with their weaknesses, they simply cut off their heads with one sword after another, and their casualties became increasingly heavy.

Charlotte finally couldn't stand it anymore and gave the order to retreat.

Gonzalez let out a long sigh, feeling extremely unwilling but helpless.

Pfft!
A great axe fell to the ground, and Hesa ​​collapsed.

Even with the help of the endurance array and the immortal heart, he could not stand steadily.

The situation was even worse for the others; no one was left standing.

This battle was really difficult.

Half a day later, the battlefield was cleaned up. The enemy left behind more than a hundred corpses, and Riven's mercenaries also lost nearly twenty men.

In other words, more than half of the warriors he hired were killed.

During the meeting, everyone was silent and the atmosphere was solemn.

It was Raven who spoke again:

"We just lost seventeen brothers. They all fought for Lentini. Please let us pay tribute to them."

As he said this he stood up and bent down deeply.

Others followed suit.

"If anyone knows where their home is, I want to send the pension to them," he said in a low voice.

"Warren has an underage child, and I know his family." A mercenary raised his hand.

"There's a woman at Coupe's."

"I am Lord's only partner, so I can save this money..."

Soon, the whereabouts of the fifteen mercenaries who died in the battle were found, but the information of the remaining two was unknown. Riven could only write them down and fulfill them later.

boom!
A fist slammed down on the table.

"I just want to know who the enemy is! My brother can't die in obscurity!"

The person who spoke was a bearded mercenary. He had always been a partner with Lord and they had the best relationship.

This sentence ignited the anger of the mercenaries.

Yes, such terrifying enemies, who are they and why are they attacking Lentini.

They are not afraid of death, but they cannot be so cowardly.

Raven smiled bitterly: “To be honest, I don’t know who my opponent is.

I will tell the Duke's Mansion everything here and ask them to help track it down."

The meeting ended in dullness.

Not long after, Monroe led a priest into the lord's house.

The priest's name is Mason, and he is very familiar with Raven. Caroline's life depends on him.

This time, it was Raven who invited him to treat everyone.

Mason worked hard for the whole afternoon and finally rescued several seriously injured people from the brink of death.

After expressing his gratitude, Raven told him about the existence of the Saints.

Mason was shocked and immediately asked about the situation.

Raven took him to a prison where a farmer was tied up.

This was a living person that Lanster had risked his life to capture.

When the farmer saw the two men, he struggled like a wild beast.

"Master, this is our only captured saint. Please take a look."

Ho ho ho!
The farmer bared his teeth fiercely.

A ball of golden divine power floated in Mason's hand and sank into the body of the saint.

Shengmin suddenly screamed and struggled violently, as if trying to get rid of the light.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth, and a silver light gushed out, and then his head exploded. Mason groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes widened, his face filled with horror.

"What is this! I have seen the most evil magic!"

Raven asked hurriedly: "Master, what did you find?"

Mason took a long breath and said in horror:
"I sensed an extremely evil force in his body, but when I tried to trap it with my divine power, it exploded."

"So, they are controlled by that power?"

"It should be. Otherwise, how could these farmers do what you said?"

"It seems that there is a mastermind behind them. Do you know what that power is?"

"I don't know. It exploded."

"There are quite a few bodies out there. Do you want to check and see if you can find this power?"

"Go and have a look."

After a long time, Mason said helplessly:
"Still no. It seems this power only exists in living beings and disappears once they die."

It's a pity for Raven.

After seeing Mason off, Raven quickly wrote a letter, explaining the Saint's affairs in detail, and had it delivered to the Duke's Palace.

Such a serious matter can only be resolved with the intervention of the Duke's Mansion.

In the small town of Lanling, the church in the center of the town has been raised higher.

No matter day or night, the church was surrounded by holy people.

They prostrated themselves in front of the church with their families. Both adults and children had pious looks and kept praying.

"Silver lines" invisible to the naked eye extended from their bodies, sank into the church, and converged into the body of a tall woman.

There was a trace of power flowing in the silver thread, which was absorbed by the woman.

The Thread of Divine Law is the foundation for her to gain worldly power.

At this moment, hundreds of threads of divine power suddenly broke and dissipated into light points.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with anger: "Who killed my saints?"

"Bosana!" she cried.

Soon, Bosana came to the woman and asked, "Lord Messenger of God, what do you want me to do?"

"I lost several hundred saints. Go ask Charlotte what happened."

"Saints? How does the envoy know about this?"

Bosana was puzzled, but still obeyed the order respectfully.

"As ordered."

Odinga City.

Charlotte's face was filled with anger, and the armrest of the chair under her hand was deformed by her squeezing.

Lentini felt deeply humiliated and helpless about her failure.

Especially that Raven, she vowed to kill him.

After a long while, she slowly spoke:
"I am responsible for this failure. I didn't expect that Raven was so difficult to deal with and his subordinates were so elite."

Gonzalez shook his head:

“It’s not your highness’ fault, even I was forced by him to be unable to take action.

What I am most worried about now is that Raven will notice something strange about the Saints, which would be terrible."

"It doesn't matter. All the saints are dead. He is dead and there is no evidence against him."

"Oh, I hope."

At this moment, a Dawn Warrior walked in and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, Lady Bosana has arrived."

"What is she doing here? Let her in."

A moment later, the petite and exotic-looking Bosana appeared, accompanied by a handsome cavalryman.

"You're running a good business here." She said with a smile.

"I wonder why the Holy Guardian is here?"

Charlotte stared at her, trying to see what was going on.

The relationship between the two can't really be said to be good, especially the last time because of Weijia's incident, it was even more unpleasant.

"Oh? Does it have to be something? Can't I just take a look at you guys?" She turned to Gonzalez and smiled.

"Don't joke around. The Holy Guardian is responsible for the safety of the Divine Envoy. He has a heavy responsibility. How could he come here for no reason?"

"OK then."

Bosana shrugged, her tone suddenly stern.

"The Lord God's Messenger asked me to ask you, why did the saints suffer such heavy losses?"
