Chapter 705 Crazy
Warlock Congreve left no one alive.
In Luke's eyes, the scene in the forest was terrifying.
Not only did the vines grow thorns, but the little flowers also grew and bloomed.
Those fancy piranha plants.
It doesn't devour people directly like in the game, but instead drills into the human body through the stamens to suck blood.
Those paladins and monks were quickly sucked into mummies.
Finally, he was dragged underground by the surging vines.
There is nothing left except some armor and clothes...
After the battle, several of Congreve's followers went into the forest.
Others cleaned up the battlefield and counted the losses.
Congreve was little changed after the battle.
He just nodded in satisfaction to Wanda and Luke.
"Your swordsmanship is excellent."
This is for Luke.
Congreve paid more attention to Wanda, and even his expression became kinder.
"You are now at least a mentor-level warlock. It's great to be such a young warlock like you."
Princess Julia has experienced many attacks along the way.
I can now open my eyes and watch the entire counterattack process.
She stood behind Wanda the whole time.
Wanda's magical bow and arrow caused a lot of trouble to the paladins.
Although their armor has strong defensive effects, it is like paper in front of Wanda's magic arrows.
Congreve's followers found a lot of armor, weapons, and other things belonging to the monks in the forest.
Some useful intelligence was given to Congreve.
The remaining things were buried in a pit.
The items of the Paladins and Monks are specially marked, so they can't sell them or use them themselves.
The Vatican has strict control over this aspect.
It's a big trouble if they take it out.
After Congreve saw the information, he went straight to Julia.
"It's your brother's doing. The Holy See is going crazy in order to spread the gospel."
Julia also said solemnly:
"Once we get to Rota City, I will contact my father's former subordinates and will definitely overthrow my brother's rule."
Congreve nodded.
"Now, his opponent is not just you. You are just the one who poses the greatest threat to him."
Princess Julia shook her head helplessly.
"The other royal brothers are no match for him and can only cause him minor troubles."
"Let's talk about it when we get to Rota City."
The group quickly cleaned up the scene and continued to rest.
These guys are veterans.
The experience in the wild is also very rich.
They all slept with their weapons and clothes on.
Princess Julia did not say much to Warlock Congreve.
Everything that needs to be said has already been discussed in Tatu City.
I just didn't expect the Vatican to spend so much money.
They actually sent so many paladins.
But this is not Wanda's concern.
When you're with Luke, you really don't have to use your brain, just eat and drink well.
Luke, on the other hand, looked a little unhappy.
With Princess Julia, Congreve's group, and Edwin's group, there was no problem.
Only himself and Wanda appeared out of nowhere.
This is easy to be suspicious.
The identity file of the warlock is easy to check, but if you go to the small town to ask around, you will find that the whereabouts of Wanda, the warlock, are too mysterious.
This is the only flaw between the two, and it is a flaw that Luke cannot solve.
If the Vatican wants to take action against Julia, it cannot help but investigate the people around her.
The team sent to assassinate this time was insufficient in intelligence and did not expect that Grand Secretary Congreve himself would be among the team.
That’s why it failed.
It will be troublesome next time.
Warlock Congreve is not a warlock who is good at fighting.
The Holy See also has means to deal with high-level warlocks.
If the Vatican finds out anything, we will be in trouble.
You know, the two of them are still on the Vatican's wanted list.
Although they were under the pretext of looking for the saint, Luke felt that if they found the saint, she would not be so easy to deal with.
By then, their enemies will not only be the Church, but also the Warlock Guild.
Don't think you can take advantage of the Warlock Guild just because they are at odds with the Church.
This is a double-edged sword.
The Warlock Guild does not understand the affairs of the Holy See, but they will never give the Saint to the Holy See.
Unless... the benefits are huge.
Either the Warlock Guild betrays them, or Wanda is killed by the Warlock Guild.
Even if they cannot use it, they will not give it to the Holy See.
This is human nature, this is politics, nothing else.
Even if he had separated from the princess in Tatu City at the beginning, it was unavoidable.
Once you're sucked in from the beginning, there's no way to get out.
You can't kill Edwin's team and the princess as well, right?
Luke can't do this. After all, he is still a member of the Order camp, not an evil cultivator.
But now, they are in the dark and there is still a way.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, when everyone woke up, they smelled a pleasant scent.
Luke prepared breakfast and everyone ate quickly before setting off.
After a day's trek, we finally arrived at a big city.
Here, we need a day of rest.
The carriage was moving slowly, so Luke asked Gore and Dean to ride quickly to the city to book a hotel.
It was already evening when they arrived.
Fortunately, Luke made arrangements in advance, so everyone was able to have a good rest when they arrived at the hotel.
Everyone was very nervous along the way.
Fearing that the Vatican would attack again.
Since the other party dared to attack Princess Julia openly in the United Kingdom of Tyre.
Then you can imagine what the journey ahead will be like.
Everyone was in a low mood.
The foreseeable future and difficulties lie before us.
In the evening, Congreve and Princess Julia came to Wanda's room together.
Luke was also brought in.
"Mr. Dutton, we would like to discuss whether we should change our route?"
Congreve produced a more detailed map.
"From our current city, there are three ways to reach Rota City."
"It's just that each route is longer than the last. One of them requires a week-long wilderness route."
Luke looked at the map and silently wrote down everything.
The longest route is not complicated, it’s simply long.
It's almost a circle.
The route that is neither too far nor too close is the original route.
The shortest route is through a forest.
Although there are no large monsters anymore, it is still very dangerous.
This road is too prone to ambush.
Congreve and Princess Julia were also unsure whether they would be ambushed in the future.
The people in the Vatican are indeed a little crazy.
Since leaving Tatu City, a group of people who had been hiding behind Princess Julia have also disappeared.
I don’t know whether they went back or were destroyed.
Luke was more inclined to think that this group of people should go back.
They should be the old king's men.
If they were silenced, the group of people from the Vatican who attacked them would not be so united.
Looking at those paladins, you can tell that they came well prepared.
But I didn't know there was a Grand Maester-level warlock in the team.
If they were eliminated in advance, they would know that there was a grandmaster-level warlock in the team.
After thinking for a long time, Luke came up with a very bold idea.
