Castle of Black Iron
chapter-1226

In the evening, the Pineneedles Castle where Arkray Clan lived in was covered with flames that surged into the sky. People within dozens of miles could see that.

The castle of Renard Clan was in the core region of Arkray Island, which was also the traditional residential area of those time-honored major clans and rich businessmen. After Ewentra Autonomous Parliament was established, almost 1/6 of the total members of parliament came from this region.

Although there was more than one flame across Arkray Island at the same time, the abnormal situation in Pineneedles Castle was most attractive.

The surging flames were accompanied by muffled harrumphs and miserable shrieks of the guards and all those who dared resist in Renard Clan before death.

The high wall and thick and heavy gate of the outer castle of Pineneedles Castle didn’t work at all. The collapse of the outer castle accelerated the extinguishment of the entire Renard Clan.

This was a precise, crucial, efficient and shocking massacre and destruction.

Those who executed this massacre were members of Order Jury of Ancient God Church.

The name Order Jury twisted the tongue; however, everybody across Sacred Iceland Kingdom knew red gloves.

Order Jury was an agency established by Ancient God Church in late years. Before Order Jury appeared, as the trade volumes between Ewentra Archipelago and Western Continent and the surrounding subcontinents surged, the pirates near Ewentra Archipelago and its surrounding sea area entered their heyday too. However, their heyday came to an end soon after the Order Jury was established.

The batches of heads of those powerful pirates that were exhibited on the citizen square of Arkray Island made red gloves of Order Jury well-known.

Many pirate organizations were exterminated, such as Mad Shark, One-Eyed Jack, Red Sea Monster, Storm Robber, Snake Fang, Black Pearl and Diamond Skeleton…

As those notorious, fierce and brutal pirates were constantly exterminated, the fame of red gloves of the Order Jury of Ancient God Church started to be well-known across Ewentra Sea Area.

All the people who had visited the heads of those pirates on the civic square of Arkray Island would never forget about the remaining, fearful and shocking expressions on the faces of those dead, ferocious and ugly pirates.

Since the Order Jury was established, everybody only had one impression about this agency; namely massacre, silent massacre.

All the pirates which once poured in the northern waters of Waii Subcontinent from all directions like sharks that smelt blood had either turned into corpses or scared too much. They dared never approach 3,000 miles within the waters of Ewentra Archipelago. Additionally, as long as those boats that left off Ewentra Archipelago hung the banner of Ancient God Church, they would not be disturbed by pirates anymore.

The red gloves of Order Jury had not appeared in Arkray Island for over 1 year. It was 1 year ago when the residents on Arkray Island heard the name of the Order Jury for the last time. At that time, Order Jury turned a tribe of over 60,000 barbarians into a dead land like Waii Subcontinent in the east of Sinira Island. The reason lay in that that barbarian tribe killed 2 black-robed clergymen and 1 acolyte of Ancient God Church in the east of Sinira Island.

Many barbarians in Sinira Island believed in Shamanism. The shamans and flamens of that barbarian tribe instigated their fighters to destroy a small church of Ancient God Church in Sinira Island out of animosity. The direct outcome was that the Order Jury of Ancient God Church appeared in Sinira Island and exterminated the entire barbarian tribe, leaving not even one baby.

Previously, arrogant barbarian warriors could be seen in all the harbors of Ewentra Archipelago. When doing businesses with barbarians, many Hua businessmen had suffered losses due to their rudeness. After the massacre, it seemed that all the arrogant barbarian warriors had disappeared while all the barbarians in Sinira Island became mannered.

After over 1 year, those red gloves reappeared in Arkray Island while the targets being judged became the Renard Clan.

The red gloves were in uniform. They all wore a black cloak, on which there was a church badge being embroidered with silver lines. Being round inside and square outside, the badge symbolized the creed of Ancient God Church. Besides, they all wore a pair of bloody gloves, a blank mask, a shirt and overclothes being made of silk and linen. Additionally, there was a chain armor outside the overclothes. Some red gloves were even carrying a metal book which was as thick as door plank and was filled with the words on the Eternal Book .

Those who carried a metal book on their back indicated that they aimed to be ascetics instead of pastors after passing the survival training in the grey palace. Those thick metal pages symbolized the gray granites that were exploited and carried back from the gray hills in Ice and Snow Wilderness to the gray palace. When they carried the thick metal book, it meant that they were always carrying the will of the Ancient God and in arduous training. Such red gloves were more terrifying. The greater the metal book on their back was, the more terrifying they would be. In usual times, the thick metal book was used to practice their body and will; however, in battle, the thick metal book could be used as a shield or a tool to cut through and destroy others’ bodies. Those metal pages were always used together with a heavy hammer, which was in the shape of the heavy hammer that Zhang Tie once used and caused a great shock in Ice and Snow Wilderness.

Those red gloves were so powerful that they could kill enemies silently in a split second. Facing red gloves, the so-called most powerful guards and castle garrison of Renard Clan in Arkray Island fell down in rows, spraying blood in all directions. At the same time, their bodies split into pieces. All of them were cut through like ears of wheat in the field. This was how red gloves fought, also how Zhang Tie led Thor’s Hammer to exterminate those demonized puppets in Eschyle City. Because only fragmented demonized puppets were dead for sure and would not pose any threat to alive people. This combat mode had been completely inherited by red gloves.

After breaking through the outer castle of Pineneedles Castle, red gloves entered the inner castle in the blink of an eye.

In the chaos, the guards of Renard Clan hurriedly closed the gate of the inner castle; however, the over 20 m high wall couldn’t block the attack of the red gloves at all. Those red gloves in front used metal books to block the first batch of bolts that were shot down from the top of the gate; closely after that, those red gloves behind them rushed forward and stepped onto the hands of the red gloves ahead of them. Those red gloves in front of them then helped them fly onto the wall immediately…

Miserable shrieks and blood then started to spread over the top of the wall once again!
