The Dark King
chapter-658

It didn’t take long for Dudian to see a team of Holy Knights standing by the river in front of the plain. The sunlight shone on the silver armor which reflected the dazzling light.

He saw a red-robed figure riding in front of the Holy Knights. It was Cardinal Ernorin who was next to Richelieu.

“Sir.”Ernorin trotted to Dudian. He jumped off the horse and bowed respectfully. He was one of the few people in the holy church who knew the real inside story, he didn’t dare to treat Dudian as a genius.

“Let’s go.”Dudian didn’t ask anything but directly said.

“Yes.”Ernorin was surprised. It seemed that Dudian was familiar with the situation inside.

Two knights were holding the throats of two knights in the conference hall. They were sitting on chairs. The other commander Bryson wasn’t treated so well. He was personally looked after by Pulo. His hair was messy and there were many wounds on his body. His armor was broken. He was captured by Pulo when the army stopped fighting, this was the first time that he had fought with the first person in the outer wall. The strength of the latter was beyond his imagination. He didn’t even have the chance to escape from the enemy.

“Even if you capture us, it’s useless.”Saint Lorenza gritted his teeth and glared at Richelieu, “Commander Hidavin will soon lead troops to surround this place. The forces in her hands are ten times more than yours. Together with the steam guns, it’s enough to wipe out this place. None of you can escape!”

Richelieu sat on a general chair and said indifferently, “With you here, does he dare to attack?”

“Heh!”Saint Lorenza sneered, “Don’t think that you can force them to retreat just because you’re holding us hostage. In the current situation, it’s best if she exterminates you and US together. At that time, both the military region and the Holy See will regard her as their king. With such a big temptation, do you think she will be merciful? Just wait to be buried with us!”

Richelieu frowned slightly and exchanged a glance with plop.

Plop thought for a while and said, “Sir, why don’t we retreat first and capture them at Mt. Utto. With the terrain there, we can definitely defend against them.”

Richelieu’s eyes flashed and he hesitated.

“What’s troubling you so much?”Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside.

Everyone was startled as they looked outside.

They saw Cardinal Ernorin slowly enter the hall with three figures. The generals and staff officers of the military were stunned when they saw the face of the youth behind ERNORIN.

Richelieu was surprised to see Dudian in person. He was relieved as he got up to greet him: “Young Master, you are here.”

The hall was silent.

Saint Lorenzo was stunned as he looked at Richelieu. He suspected that he was hearing things. Young Master? Did he use honorifics?

Bryson and the other generals who were defeated looked at the scene in disbelief. They couldn’t wrap their heads around it. How could the head of the holy church be in awe of this genius?

Pulo who was holding Bryson was also shocked. He looked at Richelieu in confusion.

Dudian patted Richelieu’s shoulder: “You have worked hard. Are You Hurt?”

Richelieu was startled. He quickly replied: “No, it’s just a small scratch.”He put away the cut on the back of his hand.

Dudian’s eyes were sharp. He looked at Ernorlin: “The old Pope is injured. Why didn’t you bandage him?”

Ernorlin was startled: “I will call the priest.”He turned and ran out.

Dudian took Richelieu’s hand and went into the hall. He passed by Bryson and the other generals who were kneeling on the ground. It was as if they didn’t see him, dudian sat down on the general’s chair and turned to the other chair: “Old Commander, long time no see. How are you?”

Dudian waved his hand as he spoke.

The two knights who were holding onto the chair looked at Dudian in confusion. They couldn’t help but look at Richelieu.

Richelieu nodded to the two. One of them carefully reminded dudian: “Master, be careful.”

Saint Lorenzo looked at Dudian in a daze. From Richelieu’s performance and Dudian’s attitude, he couldn’t see the youth as a simple master, moreover, this was a historic moment for the survival of the Holy Church and the military. How could a holy master waste time here.

Dudian pulled a chair from the side and sat next to Saint Lorenzo. He saw that Ernorin had rushed over with two priests. As soon as the priests arrived, they immediately checked Richelieu’s wound to prevent infection.

Saint Lorenzo looked at Dudian who was sitting next to him, he said: “Mr. Dean, we have a good relationship before. Can you talk to the old Pope and ask him to retreat? Otherwise, we will die here when Commander Hidaven attacks!”

Dudian looked at him in surprise. He shook his head: “Old Commander, you are really confused. Why would I help you? It was my idea to take down your military region.”

Saint Lorenzo was stunned.

“You have treated me well when it comes to friendship.”Dudian slowly said: “You immediately blocked my news when I was arrested by the inner wall. If I had come out later then the people would have forgotten about my existence. I gave you a legendary item for free. I didn’t expect the friendship price of a legendary item to be so low. Not only did I not get the help of your military region but I was trampled by you.”

Saint Lorenzo’s face turned ugly: “There is a misunderstanding. Let me explain…”

“It’s in the past. There is no need to explain.”Dudian waved his hand: “The war will be over when Commander Hidaven comes. I can go back to work.”

Bryson angrily said: “Do you really want to die together with us? Commander Hidaven won’t Let You Go!”

Dudian glanced at him: “Those who are kneeling don’t deserve to talk to me.”

Bryson’s body trembled in anger.

Saint Lorenzo suppressed his anger: “Mr Dean, why do we have to fight to the death? You are also a member of the Holy See. Don’t you have any compassion?”

“We have used up all of them.”Dudian said: “If you have any left then take the initiative to surrender. At the same time persuade Hidaven to surrender. From now on the military region will be loyal to the Holy See and me.”

Saint Lorensa was stunned. He looked at Richelieu and looked at dudian: “Loyal to you?”

Bryson and the other staff officers were shocked. They thought that Dudian had instigated the pope to attack them. If that was the case.., dudian’s words were too presumptuous!

“Is it because he is too stupid or because he has underestimated me?”Dudian indifferently said: “Is there a problem if he is loyal to me?”

Saint Lorensa reacted. He noticed that Richelieu’s expression was as if it was a matter of course. He suddenly thought of his previous address and honorifics to Dudian, he suddenly thought of an incredible conclusion — Dudian was the real power behind the Holy See!

He immediately thought that Dudian had been arrested in the inner wall and now he had come back from the inner wall. It was very likely that he had received something from the inner wall or was appreciated by a certain force, it was a leap!

Although the possibility was low but it was not impossible.

“What is your relationship with the Pope?”He looked at dudian.

Dudian ignored the boring question.

“Report!”A paladin rushed in: “Lord of Light, Commander Hidaven has led the Army to surround the military area. He is assembling siege weapons and preparing to attack!”
