Chapter 295: The goddess is coming?
After Amy and several female knights entered the tavern, the bartender, Ryans, turned around and took a look.
And then, his behavior was completely beyond Amy's expectations.
He neither ran nor hid, but shouted excitedly: "Welcome to the Dark Goddess!"
Then he knelt down and began to pray.
To be precise, he knelt down in front of Amy - just like a devout believer kneeling in front of a statue of the goddess.
"Almighty Dark Goddess Erida! You have finally come to the place where your servants have been waiting for so long! I am willing to offer you all my flesh, blood and soul!"
Amy's face changed drastically.
Is this Ryans a heretic?
She didn't expect that she would encounter a heretic when she just came to collect a debt?
Amy always remembered that when she was in the inner castle of Changhe Town, Madam Bella regarded her as a goddess.
And that doom bringer also said that Amy is the best carrier of the goddess!
But now, these heretics actually called her the Dark Goddess?
Then, a prayer that Amy had heard was sung...
"...The goddess watches over all injustice and evil. If a warrior swears an oath of blood to uphold justice, strength and courage will be bestowed upon him..."
This is Ryans, and he is reading the eulogy.
This is the sacrificial text when the three prophets summon the fallen!
"Kill him!"
Amy made a decision in horror.
The female knights hesitated for only half a second before faithfully carrying out the order.
A female knight stabbed the Lions in the chest with a sword.
The sound of reciting the sacrificial text suddenly stopped, and the drinkers who were watching the fun retreated back in fear, leaving a large open space.
Ryans' body fell in the tavern, but there was no sign of pain on his face.
"What did you do? Bastards! How dare you kill someone in my place!"
A skinny young man ran down the stairwell on the second floor of the tavern and took a look at Ryans' body: "Are you planning a rebellion?!"
This is Prince Alanric, but he seems a little dazed - his body smells of opium and alcohol, probably because he is still hungover.
"Alan Rick? Why are you here... This bartender is a heretic, can't you see?"
Amy already felt something was wrong. She realized that she might have been tricked, and it seemed that this was done specifically to bring her into conflict with Alanric.
"This is my hotel, of course I'm here! Hum...heretic? Maybe, but I think you're the heretic - I saw him upstairs, he called you the Dark Goddess!"
Alanric gnashed his teeth and said, "I think you killed him to silence him... He shouldn't have revealed your identity in public, right?"
As soon as Alanric said this, the drinkers panicked.
When Amy shouted "clear the place", the drinkers didn't move much, probably because they all wanted to watch the fun.
But after Lions was killed, Prince Alanric said that Amy wanted to silence her...
They still somewhat believed what the prince said - so would Amy kill them to silence them?
The drinkers began to move out quietly, intending to leave this place of trouble first.
And at this moment, the sacrificial text sounded again.
This time, it was a woman's voice, and the sound of chanting the sacrificial text seemed to go straight into the soul - this was a real spell!
At the same time, several people came out from the crowd of drinkers, all knelt down to Amy at the same time, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to dedicate everything to the goddess Erida!"
Then, each of them took out a small knife and stabbed themselves in !
And they began to cut their own chests and abdomens vertically - self-slaying, and cutting open the skin of their own chests!
Everyone was stunned.
Amy had seen this kind of scene before...
Madam Bella did the same thing in the inner castle of Changhe Town back then!
"Kill them! They are the Fallen!"
Amy reacted quickly and ordered the killing of those who were hurting themselves, but her order was not passed on.
Because at the same time Amy gave the order, the female voice that was reciting the sacrificial oration shouted again: "Anyone who disrespects the goddess must die!"
This sound that penetrated everyone's soul filled the entire tavern, and almost no one could hear Amy's order.
And after the woman shouted, those guys who had stabbed themselves pulled violently with their hands, tearing their flesh in half!
The blood immediately covered the entire tavern...
Then, those humanoid monsters covered in blood began to kill everywhere!
These are indeed all fallen ones!
Moreover, they are completely different from the semi-finished products that the three prophets had summoned. They are all fallen beings who can obey orders!
The first person killed by the Fallen was Prince Alanric .
His neck was easily broken by a Fallen.
The tavern suddenly became chaotic and everyone started to run for their lives in fear.
But there are only two doorways, and the passage to the back door is quite narrow.
Most people rushed towards the main entrance. Amy and several female knights were almost knocked to the ground and were squeezed in the crowd and couldn't even stand steadily - they were near the entrance and were blocked by the rush of drinkers, and could not go in to kill those fallen ones.
At the same time, Amy and the female knights also formed an obstacle to the fleeing crowd.
And those few fallen ones were killing crazily in the crowd...
"Get out! Get out first!"
Amy called out loudly, asking the female knights to follow the crowd and leave the tavern first.
But outside the tavern, several people appeared to block the door...
That was a group of lion knights.
“Get out of the way!”
Several female knights rushed towards the lion knights, trying to clear a path for the fleeing crowd behind them.
They did not draw their swords because they knew that they could not cause any misunderstandings at this time.
But the Lion Knights drew their swords directly: "Traitor! Die!"
A female knight had her left arm chopped off...
"Good! ... What a conspiracy!"
Amy frowned tightly and gritted her teeth as she gave the order: "Go ahead! Ladies! Fight them! We can't explain ourselves!"
…
Biglen Village.
This is a fishing village next to Eagle Claw Fort. It is located in the bay and has beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and the sea.
Today, Eagle Claw Castle is peaceful and harmonious. Under Godric's governance, it has once again become a place with good feng shui and good public security.
So not long ago, Godric brought his wife Philina to Biglen, intending to get away from the chaos and live a life of traveling, boating, and fishing for the two of them.
But they only enjoyed such leisurely days for less than half a month.
On this day, while he and his wife were enjoying dinner in the yard of Biglen Village while watching the sunset over the sea, trouble came knocking on his door again.
"Lord Godric! Something's happened!"
A guard rushed in breathlessly: "Sir, Madam! Miss Amy is in trouble!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Godric and Felina stood up at the same time.
The couple were actually quite calm. They put down their cutlery and began to ask about the details.
After all, they all knew that Amy was no longer a little girl, and in the Beibu Gulf area, the reputation of the Princess Knight was extremely famous, more useful than Godric's title.
And given Amy's character, she would definitely not make any big mistakes. Even if she encountered any trouble, they were confident that they could solve it.
"My lord, Miss Amy has been besieged in Weird Fox Town by the army of Lion Lake City, and the Lion Knights are also among them!"
The guard looked a little panicked, but still spoke the point concisely: "The people of Lion Lake City claim that Miss Amy killed Prince Alanric!"
"Killed? Alanric is dead?"
Felina asked in a panic, "This is a frame-up ! Who brought the news?"
"She is a female knight under Miss Amy. She is currently in Eagle Claw Castle."
The guard showed a trace of pity on his face: "She fought her way out of the encirclement to report the news... The girl's left arm was cut off and her body was covered with arrow wounds, but she still managed to reach Eagle Claw Castle. She just said a few words before she fell into a coma."
The old couple's expressions suddenly became extremely serious.
The fact that Amy's men were so badly injured yet still managed to break out of the siege to report the news obviously meant that the situation was extremely urgent, and Amy must have fought a very hard battle.
Moreover, they understood Amy and knew that their daughter was not a reckless person. If they could explain it clearly, Amy would have resolved it peacefully long ago and would never ask for help from Eagle Claw Castle.
This means that the situation is out of control...
"Return to Eagle Claw Castle immediately and gather all the troops to prepare for battle! Send someone to send a message to Changhe Town and Yongdun Castle as quickly as possible. Go!"
It seemed like the situation was urgent, so Godric didn't waste any time and ordered the guards to prepare for battle.
"Godric, this conspiracy may not just be to frame Amy, they are targeting our entire family! Weird Fox Town... it is very close to Crow Village, and Andrew may have received the news..."
Philina felt a little uneasy. She could sense that the enemy besieged Amy in order to lure Godric and Andrew to launch a large-scale military campaign together. Crow Village was the fief of Godric's son Andrew, and it was only a hundred miles away from Fox Town. Andrew must have received the news!
But if Andrew lost his patience and led his troops to rescue his sister, or attacked the Lion Knights...
This would make their entire family guilty of treason!
"Whether it's treason or not...even if it's really Amy who killed Alanrick, I must protect her!"
Godric grabbed his wife's shoulder and said, "I have to go back to Eagle Claw Castle to organize the troops. Philina, you rush back to Crow Village immediately and tell Andrew not to act rashly! I will rescue Amy! If something happens in Crow Village...you and Andrew will go to Changhe Town!"
Godric's arrangement was actually quite reasonable. His daughter was trapped, so as a father he naturally had to lead his troops to rescue her.
But if this is a conspiracy against their entire family, it is best not to let Andrew get involved, lest the entire family be wiped out.
However, when Firina drove the carriage back to Crow Village, it was already too late...
The Yazhu Village was already littered with dead bodies.
Just as the name of the village suggests, there were crows all over the ground pecking at corpses, and there was no living person to be seen in the village.
Be it farmers, women, or children, there was not a single survivor among the more than a thousand people in the village.
Moreover, it was a massacre—they had almost all died in the same place, on Andrew’s estate.
It was obvious that they were driven together before they died.
“How could this happen…How could this happen!?”
Philina shouted angrily and rushed to the manor villa - that was her home and where Andrew lived.
The gate of the villa was open, and the bodies of several guards lay in front of the gate, covered with wounds. They must have experienced a tough battle before their death.
These are loyal soldiers who do their duty and are Andrew's followers.
The villa was in a mess, obviously having been searched thoroughly.
Several maids were lying naked in the hall, with fatal wounds on their throats. It was obvious that their throats were cut after they had been tortured.
After coming out of the villa, Ms. Philina's originally sad face had turned ashen.
Andrew was no longer here, and his body had not been found.
This is probably the only good news.
But corresponding to this good news, most of Andrew's troops were not in the village...
"ah!!!"
Ms. Philina closed her eyes and roared madly for a while, then looked back to the northeast - that was the direction of Guihu Town and Lion Lake City.
"Madam...what should we do now? Should we go to Weird Fox Town to find Lord Godric, or go to Changhe Town to find Lord Li Ang?"
The guard knight who was escorting Firina back to Crow Village asked.
"Go to Sarleon City..."
Ms. Philina gritted her teeth and got back on the carriage: "I'm going to find Ulrich...if he's not crazy yet!"
…
When Li Ang returned to Changhe Town with more than 3,000 young and strong laborers, news from the north just happened to arrive.
The person who brought the news was Granlong, the lord of Payne Village and flag bearer of the Lion Lake City Flag Guard.
But Granlong was also covered in wounds, and more than half of the Lion Lake City Flag Guard was lost.
"Sir, heretics have summoned countless fallen beings in Weird Fox Town! Weird Fox Town has experienced a massacre!"
After meeting Leon, Granlong's first words were terrible news.
"What?"
Li Ang was shocked: "Who did it? The Three Prophets?"
"Perhaps... But sir, not only that, there is something more troublesome - Prince Alanric died in Weird Fox Town! And most people say that it was done by Miss Amy... They believe that Miss Amy is a heretic! They also say that Miss Amy is the Dark Goddess! Lord Godric was also accused of treason by Baron Leofwan because he led his army to attack the Lion Knights!"
The news that Granlong said was more explosive than the last.
Li Ang was stunned when he heard this - who could have thought that he only left Changhe Town and went to Karenlu Castle to gather people and arrange affairs, and in just over half a month, the whole world seemed to have changed?
Godric's entire family was caught in some storm?
"Alan Rick is dead? Where is Amy now? Is she still in Weird Fox Town?"
After returning to Changhe Town, Li Ang only heard that Amy led the troops to the north, but no one knew where Amy had gone - he didn't care at first, it was normal for Amy to lead the troops out to do things, and it was also normal not to tell others.
"They may still be defending Guihu Town, but I don't know the details."
Granlong explained, "I actually learned about Miss Amy being besieged by the Lion Knights only after Lord Godric sent out his troops. But when I rushed to Weird Fox Town, I was ambushed by a group of heretics."
As he spoke, he pointed to the flag guards behind him and said, "The forests around Guihu Town are almost all filled with Fallen. As a result, more than half of the flag guards were killed. I had no choice but to rush back to report to you."
"You just said that it was Baron Leofurvan who accused Lord Godric of treason?"
Li Ang thought for a moment: "Then this matter obviously has to start with Leo Fuwan... Where is his family?"
