A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 965 - Chapter 965 Chapter 665 No Idlers Allowed_3

Chapter 965: Chapter 665: No Idlers Allowed_3 Chapter 965: Chapter 665: No Idlers Allowed_3 After all, such a symbol is so distinctive that one cannot easily forget it upon seeing it.

Well, Amelia had to admit that if an ignorant person saw this thing, they would definitely think it belonged to some terrible organization that worshipped the Evil God.

Like plotting to murder Prince Sherrick, for example…

“This must be the doing of Sherrick’s Church!”

As expected, the next moment, the Heim Priest started ranting and raving loudly.

Well, considering the Sacred Badge to murder the prince was a glowing Skull Head, this was not entirely unreasonable.

“But this does not resemble Sherrick’s symbol.”

As the eternal archenemy of Heim–meaning they wouldn’t rest until Heim was destroyed once–the Mage quickly offered a different opinion.

“Sherrick’s Sacred Badge doesn’t look like this, and their emblem doesn’t have a hammer behind it.”

“So you mean to say, the ones hiding behind this door are not Sherrick’s sly, despicable, and cunning followers, but a bunch of Barbarians?”

The Heim Priest scoffed at the Mage’s words–they felt no guilt over the fact that their devout followers had killed The Magic Goddess, even taking it as a model to pass on: see, even The Magic Goddess died at the hands of loyal Heim, proving that the power of the Guardian is unstoppable!

Well, the fact that the Association of Mages didn’t blow up the Heim Temple outright was already a stroke of luck for them.

But this didn’t mean they wouldn’t attack a Heim Priest to his face.

“Ah, I figure you have as narrow a vision as the stupid fool you worship, and thus you fail to see the breadth of this world.”

The Mage let out a cold laugh.

“In fact, the Barbarians of the wilderness are much smarter than your group of idiots who only know how to hide behind city walls, praying for Heim to mercifully help them with their footwear. They might be dangerous, but they’re not foolish. And you guys… heh… ”

“What did you say? How dare you insult Heim?”

“Come and get me if you’re not afraid to die. Do you think I’m scared of you?”

The Mage raised his Magic Wand, the Heim Priest raised his Scepter, and everyone else took a step back.

To be honest, they had no intention of intervening; they just hoped this pointless quarrel would end quickly, or if the Mage accidentally slipped up, they could pretend not to see it.

Only Amelia hesitated. As a Sacred Knight of Tyler, she felt she shouldn’t just stand by and watch…

Fortunately, just at this moment, the steel door slowly opened, preventing the boring strife. Everyone turned their heads and were taken aback–behind the steel door, several towering Steel Warriors holding strange saws stood there, their eyes shining with a blood-red glow, full of murderous intent.

“Alright, I can be certain they are definitely not Sherrick’s followers.”

The Elf Ranger also took a step back, gripping her bow tightly and muttering softly to herself. Sherrick was the God of Murder, but his followers were not the type to form an outright army. These looked more like the underlings of the God of Despots, Ban. It was clear to the Adventurers that the steel warriors before them were disciplined and orderly, nothing like Sherrick’s insane assassins.

That discipline, that Iron Blood fearlessness and killing intent–just a few dozen warriors gave them the illusion of standing before an army of thousands, as though they faced a fully armed force with nothing but their bare hands. Almost everyone felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure.

However, when you see dozens of figures clad in black Steel Armor, adorned with gold Skull Head emblems, wielding mechanical saws, looking as large and intimidating as Giants, it’s hard not to feel unnerved.

“Evil!”

And this appearance of the Black Iron Warriors clearly provoked the Heim Priest, who turned around and glared fiercely at his targets.

“You followers of Sherrick dare to be so brazen in the Northern Land! In the holy name of Heim, I…”

“Bang!”

However, before the Heim Priest could finish his sentence, a deafening explosion followed. The next moment, everyone saw the Heim Priest’s upper body blown apart, the area above his waist disintegrating completely as blood and flesh scattered everywhere. Upon seeing this, the others quickly gripped their weapons and stepped back. Meanwhile, the Black Iron Warrior who had taken action turned to look at them.

“The Tribunal does not tolerate any questioning or hostile acts. Who are you and what are you doing here?”

“We, we are…”

Facing these Steel Giants, the leading warrior was momentarily tongue-tied, unsure of what to say. He had once faced the leader of a Frost Giant Tribe alone and killed them amidst a tight encirclement. But now, looking at these Steel Warriors before him, he suddenly felt that the Frost Giant chieftain he had faced was as tame as Xiao Mao.

Luckily, someone did step forward at this point.

“We are a Special Investigation Team organized by Miss Elascoe.”

Amelia quickly stood out, and although she was unfamiliar with these Steel Warriors, referring to Duanmu Huai’s temperament and their ruthless act of killing the Heim Priest just now, Amelia could guess that continuing this way was not likely to end well.

“We came here because of a severe explosion that occurred in the Lost Ground, and we’ve received some troubling news, so… is Mr. Duanmu Huai here? We would like to talk to him?”

“…”

Upon hearing Amelia’s words, the Steel Warriors fell silent for a moment, and then the leader turned to look at her.

“The Great Judge is waiting for you. Please follow me.”

“Huff…”

In that moment, Amelia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, they had at least avoided the fate of being shattered to pieces.
