Chapter 258： Surprise (Part 1)

Boom!

Suddenly, the muffled thunder resounded in the sky over Winter City, awakening countless people in their sleep.

Bachelor Dawn, who was dozing off on the church seat, was also awakened suddenly. He only felt a violent shaking of his feet, as if something had fallen from a height and hit the ground.

"what--"

A sharp scream sounded in the church, interrupting the melodious hymn, and also made the heart of the Daun scholar who had not fully recovered.

what happened?

Bachelor Dawn quickly followed the direction of the voice and saw that the side hall on the left wing of the church was shrouded in a cloud of smoke.

"It collapsed! It collapsed!"

There was another scream.

Only then did Bachelor Dawn discovered that the ceiling of the side hall had collapsed.

The chaos in the church suddenly became a mess, all kinds of exclamations, screams, and crying constantly sounded, making people upset by the noise.

"Quiet! Don't panic! Save people first!" The voice of the retired bishop heard, making everyone feel a little settled.

Bachelor Dawn was hesitating whether to help, and then saw the soldiers of the city defense army guarding outside the church rushing over like crazy.

"Master Thomas! Master Thomas!"

Seeing the soldiers digging wildly in the ruins, Bachelor Dawn suddenly woke up--isn't the confession room over there!

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Bachelor Dawn could no longer remain calm, and rushed over.

Boom!

Amid the roar of thunder, the heavy rain that had just stopped for a while poured down again, as if to completely submerge the Winter City before giving up.

In the church, the people who were rescued were already soaked. They struggled to remove the rubble and found the first corpse.

Not a Thomas Knight.

Bachelor Dawn breathed a sigh of relief, the light of hope in his heart had not yet been completely extinguished, and he quickly threw himself into the intense rescue.

Soon, they dug up three more bodies, and the first survivor.

Unfortunately, there is still no Thomas Knight in it.

Thomas's guards are also going crazy, their hands have been bloodied by the gravel, but they still haven't stopped digging.

Finally, they dug up their own chief--

Corpse.

Puff!

Bachelor Dawn sat on the wet ground, his eyes full of fear.

"What the **** is going on! Why did the ceiling collapse?"

Thomas' guards obviously couldn't accept this fact, and they were pestering the bishop emeritus to question.

"I'm afraid it was caused by lightning..."

Lightning strike?

Bachelor Dawn sneered, how could it be such a coincidence?

Just hit the ceiling of the side hall of the church and killed the Thomas Knight who was confessing?

Moreover, Thomas is a Tier 4 knight!

Even if he is hit by a boulder, he may not die.

Bachelor Dawn did not go to the autopsy. First of all, he did not understand this line. Secondly, it was meaningless to entangle this at this time.

He was still a step late.

Thomas is dead.

Then, his plan died.

Thinking of this, Bachelor Dawn hurriedly got up from the ground, and hurried towards Lion's Roar, ignoring the violent storm that was roaring outside.

...

Roar Fort.

Colin stood on the promenade, staring blankly at the more and more torrential rain outside.

The fragrance left by Adjani seemed to linger on the tip of his nose, but he was not thinking about the charming face of the other party, but thinking about the last words she left.

When she said those words, Adjani looked very confident, as if Colin could not escape her palm.

This made Colin feel a little uneasy.

As time passed bit by bit, the anxiety in Colin's heart became stronger and stronger.

Moreover, Bachelor Dawn has been there for so long, and there is no news yet.

This also made Colin more and more ominous.

no!

Can't wait any longer!

Although Colin still trusted Bachelor Dawn, he didn't want to pin all his hopes on the other party.

What's more, Colin also has his own plan when he enters the city this time. He still has a hole card next to Count Uman.

Boom!

A flash of lightning tore through the deep night, and the roaring thunder shook people's scalp.

Vaguely, Colin seemed to hear a little noise coming from outside the castle.

At this time, he had no intention of paying attention to this anymore, and after making up his mind, he strode away.

boom!

A violent air current rushed across the promenade, as if something suddenly rushed into the rain curtain.

...

"My Lord Earl, just received the news that the side hall of the Glory Chapel collapsed and a dozen people were crushed to death. Among them, Thomas Knight was included."

"I see." Count Uman nodded, his face calm, as if he had expected Thomas Knight's death.

Putting on his coat, the residence where Count Uman left.

Just a few steps, I saw Viscount Valla approaching.

"Father!"

"En." Count Uman nodded with a smile, "have you not slept at this late?"

"Tonight's thunder is too noisy to sleep. Father, are you planning to go out?"

Count Uman nodded, and then said: "Since you can't sleep, come with me to see Master Joyce."

Viscount Walla was stunned and hesitated: "Father, it's so late, go to disturb Master Joyce... not so good?"

Count Uman sighed and said helplessly: "No way, there was a collapse in the church just now. Knight Thomas was unfortunately killed. We must let Master Joyce know about this, and the commander of the city defense army also needs to appoint a new one. ."

"Thomas Knight... was killed?" Varla looked surprised, but it took a long time to come back to his senses. He carefully approached Count Uman and whispered, "Father, this shouldn't be an accident, right?"

Count Uman smiled mysteriously, patted his son on the shoulder, but did not give a clear answer.

At this moment, a huge figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the promenade. His whole body was covered in heavy blue armor. It gave people a strong sense of oppression, but strangely, his footsteps But it is extremely light, appearing abruptly there like a ghost.

Count Uman frowned, as if there was no such figure among the guards of the Strange St. Hild family.

Suddenly, Earl Uman felt a sharp pain in his waist.

Bang!

Kicked the attacker out with one kick, but Earl Uman's face was full of puzzlement and astonishment.

"Walla...why?"

Count Uman trembled uncontrollably, but not because of physical injuries, but because of greater pain in his heart.

He couldn't understand why he was assassinated one after another, and the assassins were all people he trusted.

Lawrence, Penny, and Cynthia, now even his son Valra wants to kill him!

For a time, Earl Uman felt like the people were betrayed, as if the world was going to be an enemy of him.

But he quickly calmed down, and he even guessed the master of the assassination.

Walra was a "meeting gift" from Colin. Obviously, Colin ordered 80% of the assassination.

Count Uman couldn't figure out how Colin drove Varla to kill his own father, but he felt like a cocoon.

Perhaps this "meeting gift" is also a "return gift".

A year ago, Earl Uman instructed the Carter Knights to assassinate Colin in Greycastle. A year later, Colin drove Varra to assassinate Earl Uman in Roar.

This may be destiny.

Varla slowly vomited a mouthful of bruises. Count Uman’s counterattack was quite fierce just now, and his chest was hollowed out by a blow, but there was no panic on his face, and there was no regret. Yes, it's just hatred deep into the bones.

"Because you deserve to die!" Valra grinned and roared, "You do not hesitate to lead wolves into your room for your own benefit! Mother's early death, the pain of the first half of my life, the chaos in the North, and the 30th of Falling Eagle City. All innocent lives are thanks to you!"

Count Uman was stunned. He wanted to argue, but found that in the face of his own son's betrayal, it seemed that all the arguments were pale and weak.

The various conspiracies of the past flashed through his mind like a glimpse of light, a trace of regret appeared quietly, but was immediately suppressed by Count Uman.

His face became firm again He does not regret it!

What about the betrayal of the relatives and the enemies of the whole world?

If you want to be on top of power, how can you not pay the price?

Huh!

Count Uman pulled out the dagger from his waist with his backhand and threw it forward.

In the front, the huge blue armored man who appeared suddenly has already rushed forward, the huge shield in his hand gleaming with blue luster, as if to crush everything in front of him.

At the same time, a man in red armor appeared behind Earl Uman, but compared with the huge figure in front of him, this one looked very small.

But the huge hammer in his hand shows that this is not an easy role to deal with.

Count Uman quickly drew his sword and shouted:

"Viscount Angley! Dare to show up to fight me!"
