Chapter 877: Chapter 728: The War Begins Unexpectantly_2

The crowds on the streets frantically cleared a path to either side.

At this moment, Xu Shuo, holding the fierce-looking Catalina, leapt out, and with impeccable accuracy, landed on a superior warhorse just as a daunting golden radiance almost reached them.

Catalina let out an exclamation.

It wasn’t until she was placed on another warhorse that she came to her senses and quickly grabbed the reins.

Zuo Fang, leading the Order of the Sun Knights, glanced at her: “Oh, the Little Elf is still alive.”

Catalina clenched her teeth: “Show some respect!”

Zuo Fang curled his lip; this little lady’s attitude toward Xu Shuo and him were completely different – she’d held on tightly when picked up, clearly harboring ill intentions.

The Order of the Sun Knights arrived near the Royal Capital at dawn.

After a good rest,

and upon receiving Xu Shuo’s signal, they formed the invincible Power of Light Array. Charging straight into the Royal Capital, they were unstoppable, even breaking through the city gates!

“The Holy Court’s forces at the Beizhuang have been surrounded by the Imperial Army. I didn’t help though, just glanced over as I passed by.”

Zuo Fang turned to Xu Shuo and added.

Xu Shuo casually acknowledged, then said, “They will withdraw on their own, today is not the day for a fight to the death.”

The more substantial Holy Court army had been stealthily taking mountain routes all along.

Still lurking in the distance, yet to show themselves.

Zuo Fang said, “If you don’t want to fight, others may not feel the same, I heard that there was already an uprising in the Royal Capital last night?”

“A little appetizer.”

“Where’s the King?”

“Don’t know.”

“Oh… you don’t know??”

Zuo Fang was suddenly full of question marks.

The empire’s royal authority, built over a thousand years, cannot be overthrown overnight.

Hence, the measures taken by the Church of Light on this expedition.

They planned to slay the entire Varo Royal Family to quell all dissent with force, undeterred by historical judgment or public resentment, to overthrow the imperial authority in the simplest and quickest way!

For the Church of Light,

it might not be the best way to seize power,

But for players,

this is the most suitable method.

The first task for the Order of the Solar Knights upon entering the Royal Capital was to head straight for Constantinople and claim the head of Wald XVIII!

The horses blessed with the Aura of Light trotted along the main road as the Order of the Solar Knights charged menacingly toward Constantinople, passing the chaotic Gate of Palas without a sideways glance.

When squads came to block them, a profound Aura of Light directly scattered the people, as they did not intend to stop and engage.

The knights simply swung their heavy swords to clear the enemies in front and continued forward.

The majestic gates of Constantinople were now within sight.

“Ten minutes are up.”

Xu Shuo told them.

The Order of the Solar Knights silently acknowledged, slightly retracting the Power of Light as they broke into five-man squads into Constantinople, mercilessly slaughtering anyone they encountered.

They believed in Light and Justice.

But also blindly followed the Pope of Light.

Zuo Fang frowned and said, “Strange, the Imperial Army is all over the Royal Capital, but why is there no defense at Constantinople?”

Xu Shuo flatly replied, “Wald XVIII is no fool; he knows that he would be the target of the Holy See of Light, just as I would be the target of the Empire.”

Upon hearing this, Zuo Fang looked at him, “So how did you manage to escape without anyone chasing you?”

Xu Shuo smiled, “Maybe it’s because I don’t look like the Pope of Light.”

Zuo Fang tugged at the corner of his mouth, disbelieving.

In the midst of their conversation, the three of them entered the council hall of Constantinople, only to find it empty.

Next, they entered the King’s Traveling Palace, where only a few servants were frantically grabbing gold and jewels, apparently trying to make a quick theft amidst the chaos before fleeing.

Seeing these bystanders, Zuo Fang, with a cold expression, dealt with them mercilessly, one sword strike each.

Catalina sneered from the side, “Human wars are cruel and unfeeling.”

Zuo Fang brandished his sword in front of her, “Don’t think Elves are not cruel and unfeeling. I’ve heard you enslave Magical Beasts to devour people, and even completely destroy the body and soul of traitors to offer to trees.”

Catalina snorted.

“This lady’s sense of superiority is sick,” Zuo Fang complained to Xu Shuo.

“Just don’t treat her like a person,” Xu Shuo, who was examining the Traveling Palace, said.

“Oh, I see!” Zuo Fang suddenly realized.

“I was never a person anyway,” Catalina frowned from the side.

“…” Zuo Fang shook his head at her.

At this moment, Xu Shuo, engrossed in examining the Traveling Palace, noticed something unusual. He quickly approached and touched a certain dark gray wall.

Zuo Fang, seeing this, was about to ask.

However, Xu Shuo simply punched through it.

Boom!

The wall shattered.

Revealing a pitch-black passage behind it.

Zuo Fang swallowed the words “Is there a problem?” and instead asked, “Where does this secret passage lead to?”

Xu Shuo released a bit of spiritual power to probe, but the control of spiritual power by the Bright Pontiff was far from as adept as Alpha’s, he could only vaguely sense the passage was very deep.

After all, it was pitch-black inside.

“Don’t know, let’s leave a mark.” Xu Shuo didn’t intend to investigate personally; he just drew a Magic Sigil at the entrance and then concealed it in the wall.

Afterward, they left the Traveling Palace and explored other areas of Constantinople.

Constantinople was immense.

Even on horseback, it took them ten minutes to barely finish inspecting Constantinople, confirming that Wald XVIII was really not there, while three more secret passages were found.
