The city of Marenfera is located in the western area near the desert. It is one of the more important cities in the western part of the empire. The size of the city is not very large. After all, the climate is really not suitable for farming. The resources in the city are basically obtained through transactions, so Commerce is very important in this city. If the trade routes are closed, the city will quickly lose its food supply.

However, the city of Marenfera looked a little weird at this time. It was obviously daytime, but the city gate was closed. The city gate was full of guards, and they were obviously on alert, as if they would attack anyone who came close. Seeing this situation, the merchants who were originally planning to enter the city for business had to choose to leave and turn to other nearby cities for trade. It was obvious that there was an emergency in the city, and they did not want to get into such trouble.

At this time, there was a sudden flash of light in the sky, and Linton and others followed a ray of light and landed at the gate not far from the city. Linton was a little dissatisfied with the long flight time. The flying speed of his companion was actually very fast, even faster than Linton's Susanoo, but it still took a lot of time to get here.

Of course, except for Linton, the others seemed quite excited, because they had a rare experience of flying, which can only be experienced by those who have been promoted to the Saint level, even though they have benefited from Linton. , but this feeling is really amazing.

"Sir, is this the power of the Book of Sealing?" Anaid here said.

"Yes, you can also understand the magical power in the form of a sealed card as a magic scroll." Linton explained briefly, "What I used just now is the peer skill, which can make the user and those around him One comes to a designated place or person.”

"Sure enough, it is a powerful divine power." Naturally, several people had never heard of this kind of magic, and their expressions were all enthusiastic.

"No, the power of darkness is gathering in the city." Linton frowned, as if he sensed something. "It seems that the summoning ceremony is about to succeed. It may be too late now. People in the city must be notified immediately to evacuate. ”

"Sir, the city seems to be blocked." At this time, Yanaid also noticed that there were many soldiers standing at the city gate not far away, and the city gate had also been closed. Looking at this situation, it was obvious that the city was closed.

"Something's wrong, go over and ask." Linton waved his hand and said.

Soon, several people arrived at the city gate. When the soldiers saw these people, they immediately picked up their weapons and pointed them at them. They were obviously on alert. Linton thought for a while, then walked up and asked, "What happened here?"

"The city lord has an order to close the city gates and not allow anyone to enter the city." A man who looked like a team leader came out and replied, "Who are you?"

"We are the support sent by the Light Church." Linton said directly, "Melissa, the priest of our church, should have arrived here, right?"

"It turns out they are the adults of the Church of Light." The team leader suddenly changed his face, and then said with a smile, "Yes, Ms. Melissa is already in the city, and is now in the city lord's palace. Please follow me. Come."

As he spoke, the team leader here slightly made way for Linton and others to pass. Linton nodded and walked directly towards the city gate. But just as he took a step forward, Ellie behind him whispered to Linton: "Sir Linton, something is wrong."

"Yes, get ready to take action." Linton said directly.

After all, these people were also former mercenaries. They could still understand Linton's words and immediately prepared themselves secretly. Indeed, the soldiers in front behaved very strangely. They heard several people claiming to be from the church, but they did not carefully cross-examine to confirm Linton's identity. It was obvious that the clothes they wore were not the clothes of the Church of Light at all. Of course, the most important thing was The thing is, the city gate here has no intention of opening at all. If they were to take them to find Melissa, they should be preparing to open the city gate now, so it is obvious that these people just want to call Linton and the others over. Then surround and kill them.

Linton was not very clear about what was going on in the city. He had heard before that people from the Light Church were assassinated, but now it seems that it was not as simple as an assassination. These city guards are obviously the city lord's people, which means that at least the city lord He has also participated in the assassination of the Church of Light.

While thinking about it, Linton and the others had already approached the city gate. The guard at the door made way, but Linton had been paying attention to the movements of the team leader. He secretly made a gesture to the people behind him, Although his movements were very covert, he was still noticed by his sight color. At this time, Linton also saw a few people on the wall above the city gate watching them secretly. He glanced at them with his sight color and saw that a row of archers on the wall were already there. They were all hiding behind the walls and waiting.

"My lord..." At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close. The captain also came closer to Linton. Linton clearly noticed that the other party's hand was gently placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Go up, it seems that this means that you are going to hold yourself down first.

"Do it!" Linton shouted directly, and several people behind him immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards the surrounding soldiers. The team leader here was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "Kill them!"

All the soldiers reacted immediately and prepared to move forward to surround them. A row of archers also appeared on the city wall, aiming directly at Linton and others. Linton looked up at the soldiers on the city wall, and said to Ellie and others behind him: "Leave the top to me."

‘Yes, my lord. "Several people also separated and started to attack. Linton directly raised his right foot and kicked it towards the ground: "Tu Dun. Tu Long Spear. "

With a "boom", a lot of earth spikes suddenly appeared on the city wall. The archers above were either directly stabbed to death by the earth spikes, or were hit by the huge impact and fell directly off the city wall. Of course, they also fell into a puddle. .

The archers were wiped out almost instantly, and Linton looked around. It was very easy for Yaned and the others to deal with these ordinary soldiers. They were not at the same level at all. In just one minute, several of them were already there. The soldiers were killed back and forth, and most of them were killed instantly in one round.

At this time, Linton also saw the team leader who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave. Originally, he thought that Linton and the others were unprepared and wanted to restrain Linton first. However, he saw that Linton killed all the archers with a single magic. How dare he come up? He turned around and ran away.

"All things are attracted by the sky." However, it was obvious that he couldn't escape. Linton raised his hand and the captain was sucked into his hand. At this time, the other soldiers were running to death and had been basically killed. Ellie and others also returned to Linton.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Linton said, holding the team leader.

"..." The team leader was obviously a little scared, but he still gritted his teeth, acting as if I wouldn't say anything.

"Look at me." Linton thought for a moment, then his eyes flashed red, and his Sharingan activated, directly controlling the team leader.

"I am a believer in the Church of Cthulhu. I have been ordered by the city lord to not allow anyone to enter the city, and to kill members of the Church of Light who try to hinder us." The team leader here said. Of course, he is not a member of the Cthulhu Church at all, but he is now controlled by Linton's illusion, and he can say whatever he wants.

The people at the back saw the situation of the team leader and knew that Linton had used magic to control the team leader. Of course, the brainwashed people would never have thought that Linton was still making up the background setting here.

"Is it really the Church of Cthulhu? Since the guard captain is a member of the Church, could it be said that the power of the Church has..."

"Does it mean that the city lord is also a member of the Church of Cthulhu?" Linton asked directly.

"Yes, the city lord is our leader." The team leader said directly.

"As expected." Linton nodded, "I didn't expect that even the city lord has been infiltrated. As expected, the Cthulhu Order is pervasive."

Several people behind him also nodded.

"It seems that the envoy who wants to summon the servants of Cthulhu is the city lord. The people who attacked the Church of Light may have discovered the city lord's actions, and the current attack has escalated. Their public actions also show that they The ceremony should be almost successful, so there is no need to worry," Linton said.

"My lord, what should we do?" Yanaid asked.

"Where are the people from the Church of Light?" Linton asked the team leader.

"We attacked people sent by the church the night before yesterday, but the assassination failed. Their people fled into the city to hide, so the city lord sealed the city and are now searching for them. According to the current situation, they should be hiding in the north of the city In the slums, that side is more chaotic and suitable for hiding." The team leader here replied, this is the truth and not something Linton controlled him to say.

"It seems like Melissa and the others won't be able to hide for long." Linton said, "You guys immediately go to the north of the city to look for Melissa and the others and explain the situation to them. I'll go to the city lord's mansion first to see if I can find the ritual. At the location, we might still have time to organize it. After you meet up with the people from the church, come immediately, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir." Several people nodded immediately.

Linton then inquired about the location of the city lord's palace, and then used his right hand to kill the team leader. Anyway, he had already said what he should say, and he could kill and silence him.

At this time, another group of people came to the city, obviously coming towards them. The patrol team in the city must have noticed the movement here and came to check the situation. Linton waved his hand and said, "Leave it to me to handle it. You can quickly go meet the church people."

"Yes, sir." Linton's saint-level strength did not need to worry a few people at all, and they nodded and ran towards the north of the city.

So Linton and the others separated into two teams and started taking action.
