The Urban Management and Saint of the King of Chambord surrounded Princess Angela and Princess Jima, standing together. Of course, there were also the three little monsters hatched from the fossil eggs: [ Enforcer ], [ Chick ], and [ Punk ], as well as Big Black with a body as big as a mountain of flesh.
Opposite them, more than forty Holy Church, dressed in the robes of the Twin Flag City Diocese, looked at the people of Chambord City with arrogant sneers.
The person who just spoke was the highest-ranking among this group of clergy. His Red-Black robes indicated that this middle-aged man was of high status, at least a vice-pastor in the Twin Flag City Diocese.
Judging from his words, he actually intended to forcibly seize the three strange beasts: [ Enforcer ], [ Punk ], and [ Chick ].
"Your Excellency, I think you've made a mistake. These aren't your lost divine pets. They're little ones we hatched from fossil eggs. They were just born a few days ago, and many people in the army can testify to that." Angela looked surprised, seemingly unable to understand why the other party would say that. She then patiently explained the origin of the three little ones in detail.
"Hmph, shut up! It's all sophistry! Utter nonsense! I said these three strange beasts belong to the Church, so they belong to the Church. Do you dare question the will of the gods?" The middle-aged man's eyes gleamed with greed.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's heart trembled with excitement.
Unbelievable! The legendary dragon cubs, supposedly extinct, have actually appeared in Twin Flag City. From the moment he first glimpsed these three creatures, he began to observe them closely. Fortunately, he had once read a doctrinal text from within the Church See about the ancient mythological era, which contained descriptions and illustrations of the Dragon Clan. By comparing these descriptions, he could now be completely certain that these three ferocious-looking creatures were indeed the cubs of the legendary Red Fire Dragon, Frost Dragon, and Azure Steel Dragon. This was truly a gift from heaven.
A dragon! It's a dragon! How long has it been since a dragon knight appeared on the continent? How many years has it been since the Church produced a new dragon knight?
He had no doubt that as long as he captured the three dragon cubs and presented them to the Northern Region Diocese headquarters, he would surely win the favor of His Holiness Pope Platini of the Northern Region. At that time, he could naturally use this great achievement to rise rapidly in rank, and it was not impossible for him to become the pope in charge of a major imperial diocese.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man became even more excited. He glanced at Angela and the others and chuckled, "You stole the divine pet that the Holy Church had painstakingly nurtured, and you dared to bring it out so openly. You're not leaving today either. All of you stay here. The men are sent to the mines as slaves, and the women are sent to the church choir to sing and pray for the gods."
"You guys are being so unreasonable! You keep saying these [ Enforcer ] are trained by you, but can anyone prove that? Then you try calling out to them, do they even recognize you?" The blonde little Loli Jima, couldn't help but sneer.
"Reason? Heh heh, in Twin Flag City, I am reason itself, because I represent the will of God. If you doubt me, you are doubting God, you are blaspheming the gods. What? Do you really dare to question the gods?" The middle-aged clergyman had a condescending expression, completely disregarding the crowd and refusing to reason with them.
He was completely unreasonable.
For a long time, relying on the power of the Church, he and his companions had become accustomed to acting in the name of God, satisfying their perverse desires by watching others dare not speak out against their anger.
At this point, seeing that a conflict had occurred, a crowd of onlookers gradually gathered.
The street was bustling with people, and soon hundreds of people gathered around. Seeing this scene, they pointed and whispered among themselves.
"Is that the Church's gang of thugs? See that leader? His name is Barton, the vice-patriarch of the Twin Flag City Diocese. He's arrogant, cruel, and ruthless. No one in the entire city dares to mess with him except the vicar. I wonder who's going to be unlucky enough to run into this devilish guy this time."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Do you want to die? If Barton hears you talking badly about him, he'll accuse you of blasphemy again, and your whole family will be burned alive at the stake."
"Wait a minute, the ones standing opposite Barton and the others look like samurai from Chambord City, subordinates of Lord Alexander..."
"No way, does Barton actually intend to cause trouble for Lord Alexander?"
"That devil deserves to Hell a hundred times! What a villain! He actually dared to cause trouble for Lord Alexander. This kid is really in trouble for the lord. The people of the Church are different from those suppressed imperial nobles. Even the imperial family can't afford to offend the Holy Church... May the gods protect Alexander and keep him safe."
"That's not necessarily true. Who is Lord Alexander? He'll definitely find a way to solve this problem. You just wait and see..."
The onlookers dared not get too close, gathering in small groups at a distance, pointing and whispering. Soon, the whole story spread among the crowd.
The city's residents had long suffered from the tyranny of the Church.
Normally, the Papacy exploits the common people under various pretexts and with various tricks, enjoying the contributions of the entire city. However, during this war with the Ajax, the Church remained completely neutral and indifferent, breaking the hearts of many believers. Now that the war has slightly subsided, they have jumped out to stir up trouble again, and the target of their harassment is none other than the subordinates of Alexander, who saved the Twin Flag City. How can this not fill people with righteous indignation?
Deputy Shepherd Barton clearly felt the hostile sunlight and disdainful looks from the onlookers. He snorted coldly and swept his gaze over them. For a moment, no one dared to meet the eyes of this ruthless and vicious priest, and everyone around lowered their heads.
Barton then sneered with satisfaction, turning to the people of Chambord City and provocatively saying, "I know you are Alexander's subordinates, and I know you are all very strong. On the battlefield, one of you can take on a hundred. Heh heh, but so what? Even if your King Alexander came, so what? Would he dare to oppose the Church? What? Putting on a show of anger, you pathetic bunch, what can you do to me? If you have the guts, come and touch me! Bah! If you just poke me with a single finger, the entire Chambord City royal family will pay a bloody price, hahaha, come on, come on, try touching me, hahaha..."
"What a piece of trash who's asking for it..." Drogba snorted, ready to rush out and punch the bastard.
But Robben gently pulled him back from the side.
Any action taken in the face of the Holy Church is extremely sensitive. This transcendent and enormous existence is enough to make any force retreat, which is also the reason for the arrogance of the clergy. Robben is considered one of the more rational ones among the masters. He hurriedly pulled Drogba back, fearing that this reckless strongman would cause His Majesty the King a huge problem.
"Hahaha, big guy, come on, come on, make your move! I'm standing right here today, let's see who dares to lay a finger on me." Seeing this, Deputy Sheriff Barton became even more smug, arrogantly provoking him.
"What if I dare to lay a finger on you?" Just then, a clear and cold voice came from afar, followed by a flash of silver-white light. Everyone's eyes blurred, and a tall and heroic young figure appeared in the arena.
King of Chambord!
An invisible aura spread out in all directions, causing the surrounding air to become suffocated.
"Your Majesty!" Drogba and the others were overjoyed.
Angela and little Loli Jima smiled with relief, their hearts finally at ease. With Alexander's arrival, all the problems would surely be solved.
"It's Lord Alexander!"
"Lord Alexander has arrived; he is the one who saved Twin Flag City..."
"Greetings, Lord Alexander! Long live the Lord!"
The surrounding civilians quickly realized what was happening, and some recognized Sun Fei's identity. A chorus of exclamations erupted from the crowd. They hadn't expected to witness the God of War of War of Twin Flag City so closely. Unable to contain their excitement, some even knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live!" The atmosphere became incredibly heated and enthusiastic.
This shows just how high Sun Fei's prestige was in Twin Flag City at that time!
Upon seeing this scene, Deputy Sheriff Barton's pupils contracted. Although his status as a clergyman should have made him not particularly afraid of a King of a secular vassal state, for some reason, he felt a vague unease and sensed a hint of danger emanating from the young King before him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three more streaks of light transformed into human figures and landed in the arena.
It was Batistuta, the right deacon of the Black-Robed Holy Temple, the young priest Garcia, and the divine knight Alan who followed them.
A gasp rang out from the crowd. The civilians, who were on Sun Fei's side, thought that the Church had sent a powerful figure to support Barton.
Upon seeing the arrival of the three, Barton, the vice-patriarch of the Twin Flag City Diocese, immediately felt relieved. These three were all experts from the Church, especially Batistuta, whose cultivation was unfathomable. He thought that they had come to rely on him, and the slight fear that had just arisen in his heart vanished in an instant.
Taking a few steps forward, Barton looked down at Sun Fei with a defiant, condescending expression. He was determined to humiliate this young man who had almost stolen the Church's prestige in Twin Flag City in front of everyone. He laughed smugly, " King of Chambord? I know your story, young man. It's understandable that you become arrogant after achieving a little success, but that depends on who you're dealing with. I am the Vice-Pastor of the Twin Flag City Diocese of the Holy Church, acting as the Sheriff of Twin Flag City. If you dare lay a finger on me, you are... ah..."
Snap!
A crisp sound.
Interspersed among the sounds were the cracking sounds of bones breaking.
As everyone stared in disbelief, they saw Deputy Shepherd Barton receive a resounding slap across the face from King of Chambord. Blood spurted from his mouth, white teeth flew everywhere, half his face horribly caved in, skin torn and flesh ripped open, and he was sent flying like a rag doll...
