Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 67

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 67]

The situation on the pier was getting worse.

A priest looked at the nervous fishermen and shouted: “Hand over—hand over the witch! A witch is a witch! A witch is a criminal who communicates with demons! If you protect her wishful thinking…you are all enemies of God. !”

The fishermen were unarmed, unable to resist, and did not dare to move at all. Many people began to cry, feeling sad and bewildered by the sudden danger. There was no room for resistance. More than fifteen temple guards guarded them.

“Bring people over, push them into the water, and don’t get up. This is the will of the gods.” The priest pointed to the fisherman in front and ordered the guards beside him to do it.

“No no no no – don’t choose him, don’t choose him!” Ludin, who was walking out of Jeffrey’s house, hurriedly stopped, “This is inefficient.”

“What advice?” The priest glanced at him.

“Choose that.” Ludin said contemptuously, pointing to a woman holding a young child. “Throw that child into the water.”

“Don’t! Don’t–!” The woman panicked and held the child in her arms.

“No? If you don’t, tell me the whereabouts of the witch!”

“She is on the cliff of Baixia, the cliff of Baixia.” The woman stammered.

“Wrong, the old witch will be dealt with by a high priest. We are looking for the little witch, the younger and more delicious one. You don’t seem to want to say it, come and arrest the child.” Lu Ding ordered.

The temple guard next to him immediately stepped forward. First, he slapped the woman heavily, knocking out one of her teeth. Her mouth was full of blood, and immediately squatted down, curled up, and hugged the child tightly.

“She should be thrown with the child.” The priest judged, “It’s a waste of energy to disobey the order like this.”

“Wrong, grab the child and let her live, so that she can talk. Throw the child into the sea, and the mother will identify the target, she can’t watch the child drown.” Ludin shrugged, “Do it.”

“When are you going to see?” Charles asked, what a cruel act.

Jeffrey swallowed.

“No… no… they are priests… noble people who serve God…”

The temple guard walked towards the woman, reaching for the child in her arms.

Chapter 84 Rebellion

The guard snatched the infant from the woman’s arms and quickly threw the crying child into the deep water by the pier.

The woman rushed over immediately and wanted to go into the water to save him, but was immediately grabbed by the guard’s arm and couldn’t move.

“Whoa-whoaah-” she was incoherent, tearful, “let–let–”

“Mom! Mom!” The water rose and fell, and the child tried his best to stick his head out of the water, but he couldn’t stop choking, and his body struggled desperately in the water.

“Wait your hands and feet!”

“Don’t water!”

“Put your head up!” The fishermen next to them looked at the children struggling in the water and couldn’t help shouting in panic.

A fisherman man immediately jumped down to save him, splashing water, he picked up the child and held it up.

People’s eyes lit up, and the women stopped their tears and widened their eyes.

“Kill him,” Ludin ordered, and one of the guards walked up to the pier with a spear and stabbed the man so hard that the spear stabbed him in the shoulder. The child lifted up, but was bleeding so much that his strength was weakening, and he kept sinking.

Others looked anxious and wanted to go into the water to help.

If God really exists, why would he condone such a tragedy?

Charles thought to himself.

If God really exists, why don’t you help me destroy demons?

“I don’t mind killing all of you! Whoever goes into the water will not come up!” Lu Ding scolded, “Hand over the witch!”

“Lord Rene will avenge us!” someone shouted inside.

“Lord Rene is gone! He’s gone to the West Coast! You like to wait for justice in the grave?” Ludin laughed. “What a wait!”

Inhuman speech.

Charles frowned.

Are people more terrifying than demons?

The villagers bowed their heads. The heroic fisherman had a strong expression and tried to hold up the child, but his face became paler, his body sank, the blood spread out in the water, and the child gradually slid back into the water with him, choked with cries. Water cough replaced.

“Sarah! Sarah! Come out!” The woman gritted her teeth and rushed in front of the crowd, yelling frantically, “You bitch! Get out! Get out!” The voice was so harsh and sharp that Ciel’s eardrums hurt.

“As the great priest said, witches have no heart and no liver.” The priest who presided over the tragedy shook his head, “She won’t show up.”

“You two stand apart.” Lu Ding teased, “Let the woman catch the witch with her own hands. Don’t worry, it wasn’t you who confessed to her, but the mother who did it. She can be blamed in the future.”

The fishermen separated consciously, and Ciel saw a girl deep in the crowd, trembling.

The wicked stratagem is so effective.

“Sarah!” the woman rushed towards her frantically.

If the little witch was caught by the temple, it would be too bad.

But there are actually two witches in this village, no wonder they will attract the attention of the temple, and it is understandable to be the destination of the witch’s search.

The question is, what do the people in the temple want to do?

Turn this place into a witch-forbidden place like the Empire?

First the witch, the next should be the demon hunter.

Charles thought to himself.

He decided to do it, but someone got ahead of him.

“Stop!” Jeffrey rushed out, “Stop!”

“Yoah, Jeffrey.” Ludin turned to see him, “what do you want to do?”

“I don’t allow you to do anything wrong here.” Jeffrey was ashen, “This is a secular territory, the fief of Lord Rene, and we are protected by the king’s laws! Don’t think…”

“God ordered us to investigate witchcraft, do you dare to disobey God?” The priest interrupted him and scolded him angrily.

“I don’t dare, and I don’t want to do anything with you adults.” Jeffrey looked humble, “You are all followers of God, the shadow of the gods. I respect you all… But everyone, please go into the water to save people! Life is at stake!”

Hearing Geoffrey’s order, people rushed to the groundwater to save the wounded fisherman and child.

“Arrest him.” Lu Ding waved his hand vigorously. “In the end, he is still a village idiot. If he gets away from the witch, I don’t know how much trouble he will add in the future.”

There were several armed servants in leather armor beside Geoffrey, who were the squire’s personal guards. Seeing the situation was anxious, they quickly escorted Geoffrey.

“Naughty, kill them all, do it!” Ludin ordered.

“The aftermath is really troublesome, but that’s the only way to do it.” The priest frowned, “You can do it, the great priest and the special envoy will help us figure it out.”

“Don’t hesitate,” Ciel whispered. “They want your life. They don’t care about this village. They don’t treat you as human beings.”

Jeffrey took a deep breath, and Charles felt vaguely anger overwhelming his sanity.

The strings that had tightened the whole situation snapped.

“Everyone fought with them!” Jeffrey raised his arms.

People were terrified of the purple-robed guards at first, and when they heard Jeffrey shouting, hemorrhaged again.

“Fuck! Fight!”

“Come on!”

“Fight!”

“Fight!”

The people shouted like a landslide, drowned out the voices of the priests, and rushed to the temple guards who guarded them.

“Me too!” Madden couldn’t hold back and rushed over immediately.

“Don’t worry.” Ciel grabbed him. “Everyone has no weapons and is bare-handed. Your harpoon is very important. You must make sure that you shoot and kill the leader first.”

Jeffrey’s servants rushed to confront several temple guards with the flails and iron bars of the housekeeper.

Madden stared at Ludin, weighed the weight of the harpoon in his hand, and threw it hard.

Huh—the harpoon slid through the air, but Ludin couldn’t detect it smoothly, and was still commanding loudly.

“You all note-”

With a snort, the sharp harpoon penetrated his chainmail and stabbed him in the chest. His entire body was stabbed by the heavy harpoon, and he lay on the ground, his eyes widened, and his mouth was bleeding non-stop, and the blood stained his luxurious appearance. Purple cape.

“Lu Ding!” The priest turned his head and saw the killed elite guard, pale in shock.

Ciel picked up the demon crossbow, aimed at the priest’s torso, and pulled the trigger quickly. The arrow came silently, penetrated the priest’s robe, and shot him directly. Seeing the priest suddenly fall, his expression changed drastically.

The two core characters were killed in battle, and the remaining temple guards were thrown into chaos. They had to fight and retreat. Strong armor, sharp weapons and fighting spirit were useless in front of hundreds of angry villagers. They could only scramble to escape. Many Those who were too late to escape were grabbed by the villagers angrily on their hands and feet, and were pushed to the ground.

The fastest runner was also hit in the back by the stone and fell to the ground.

“Oh oh oh!”

“We drove them away!”

The villagers were excited.

“It’s true!” Madden looked at Charles in surprise, “We won!”

“We don’t have many resources, and we can only use them at the key points.” Ciel said, calmly watching the changes in the situation in front of him, the drastic change in the power balance, the temple congregation who could control the entire village, detain hundreds of people, and arbitrarily slaughter the villagers, Disintegrated in an instant.

“Is the priest dead? Dead?” Geoffrey looked at the situation ahead.

“He’s dead!” someone shouted.

“God, forgive me, forgive me.” Jeffrey couldn’t stop worshiping the sky, “Forgive me! I didn’t mean it!”

“Master Jeffrey, what will we do in the future? We killed the people in the temple!” Someone next to him ran towards Jeffrey.

“God will punish us!”

“The oracle will never bless you again!”

“We caught a live one!” Another servant dragged a young assistant priest over. He was wearing a purple vest with a few marks on his head, which symbolized that he had dedicated himself to God, but now he is scared Got to roll my eyes.

“What?” Geoffrey turned to Ciel. “You started it all! You killed people! You solved it!”

“We can sit down, take a break, talk about the future, and then I have something to ask him.” Ciel’s tone was calm, and his attitude seemed to infect Jeffrey too, making his tense nerves slow down a little.

“Sanwei Bay will not be peaceful anymore,” Jeffrey complained. “We were living a stable life, and we didn’t mess with anyone.”

“Since the witches live here, and the priests are targeting the wizards, you will be affected sooner or later.” Charles and Jeffrey stood farther away, watching people comforting each other in the chaos, the villagers looked nervously at the ground corpses, the madness of the previous group subsided like a tide, and they turned into a group of disorganized and stupid fishermen.

“Why did the priest arrest the witch? The wizards have always been in the world without competition in the territory, and the lord also has an old wizard.” Jeffrey was incomprehensible.

“The old wizard told me,” Ciel recalled what Draco said, “the current high priest hates the so-called witch people from the Great Swamp very much.”

“Yes.” Jeffrey nodded, “I heard that he would secretly hunt and kill wizards.”

“So it’s not surprising that something like this happens now.” Ciel clasped his hands, “but they treat you so cruelly, they are clergy after all.”

“…It’s my fault.” Jeffrey froze for a moment, “…About ten years ago, Lord Rene sent a team of soldiers to the village to collect taxes. We couldn’t afford it, so they beat people. I was so angry, I took everyone and broke their heads with an iron rod at night and drove them away. Later, Lord Rene confiscated all our weapons and never left here again.”

Geoffrey looked at the fisherman who went into the water to save people but was stabbed. He was out of breath, drowned, and fell to the ground. People clumsily covered his body with white cloth.

The child he rescued survived, crying in his mother’s arms, and the mother turned pale and hid silently at home.

He is the noblest man in this mess.

Charles thought.

“Death is a reward for unprovoked kindness,” Gladiu scoffed.

“Because the people are wearing purple robes, you dare not resist,” Charles said to Jeffrey.

“Yes, because the Grand Priest came in person. That Grand Priest, Your Excellency Chaval, is really strange. Although he is fierce, even more fierce than those soldiers under Rene back then, I can’t think of any resistance at all.”

“You are afraid of God,” Ciel pointed out. “Afraid of what you have never seen, you have been castrated by your own beliefs.”

“What blasphemies!” Jeffrey was startled.

“What I said is the truth.” Charles said, “Does the law stipulate that the clergy can trample on human life and break into the village to conduct a mass search? The law doesn’t say that, and the law is considered to be contemptuous of the servants of the gods. Why is the aristocrat who made the law? And the king not only was not punished by God, but praised by everyone?”
