Even though he had a broken hand, was tied up with ropes, and was kneeling in front of Allen, he was still cursing constantly.
He called the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke a "little brat with no hair", called the High Priest Delphi a "demagogue", and called Allen a "devil who casts evil spells".
"Sir Messenger, because you have previously told us to try our best to persuade the enemy to surrender and avoid excessive killing," the high priest Delphi continued to explain, "The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke resisted the urge to kill him and whipped him several times.
, but he was still tough-talking, and even scolded him more and more fiercely.
"The Duke couldn't get angry with him, so he sent this guy to you, hoping that you would make a decision for him."
After hearing this, Allen couldn't help but picture the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke being furious with anger, but not daring to kill because of his own instructions. He thought it was cute and funny.
Then Allen lowered his head and looked at General Benjamin kneeling in front of him.
At the same time, he stretched out a hand, and a faint black mist emerged from his palm.
"You should know that your stubborn resistance will not lead to any results," Allen said lightly, "Everything you saw on the battlefield today was not an illusion."
Allen knew that the tough-minded general in front of him was not afraid of death at all, and there was no way to threaten him with death or torture.
The only possible way is to tell him that your efforts are of no avail and that no matter what you do, it will ultimately be a fool's errand.
But Allen's prediction was still wrong.
I heard the general with a broken arm raised his chin and said with disdain in his eyes: "With the strength of a mortal, naturally he will not be the opponent of a devil like you. But I just want a clear conscience."
After hearing this, Allen knew that Benjamin wanted to die now.
Killing him is what he wished for;
If you don't kill him, he may continue to cause trouble in the future.
If he continues to be allowed to do things here, after Allen leaves Payne's plane and returns to the Braden Kingdom, it may become a time bomb, causing all Allen's previous efforts to fail.
Thinking of this, Allen pondered for a moment and said to the high priest Delphi beside him:
"Give him a good burial."
"Yes, Lord Messenger." Delphi nodded in agreement.
Then he bowed deeply to Allen and left the city wall of Salos with General Benjamin.
Allen stood quietly, watching the two people leaving, with an expressionless face and deep eyes.
For people like General Benjamin who abide by their oaths and "do what they know cannot be done," Allen has great admiration for him in his past and present lives.
If the two were not enemies, maybe Allen would be happy to fight alongside him.
It's a pity that at this moment, the two of them are on opposite sides.
…………
At the same time, inside the city of Salos.
While the believers of the Dark Temple were busy spreading their teachings, Saint Isabella was naturally not idle either.
At this moment, she was sitting on the steps next to the City Lord's Mansion, concentrating on drawing the statue of the God of Darkness with ink.
Her long silver-white hair fell straight to the ground. Under the bright sunshine, it looked like a waterfall of molten silver, which also made the curves of her side face more exquisite and perfect.
After all, there are only a few people with strong bones like General Benjamin.
After the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke invaded Salos City, the city lord here decisively chose to surrender and dedicated the city lord's palace to the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke as his residence.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke donated this mansion to the Dark Temple, while he went to stay in the military camp outside the city.
Because of this, Isabella was able to sit quietly on the high steps of the city lord's palace and paint.
Looking from a distance, the scarlet carpet, long black gauze skirt, and tall fair-skinned silver-haired woman formed a beautiful picture.
Not long ago, when Isabella and Allen saw the picture of the God of Darkness and the Goddess of Light in Hagia Sophia, she once mentioned that she had learned some knowledge about painting so that she could see it at a glance.
It can be seen that the mural is not the original work of Master Mikael.
However, in fact, Isabella not only studied some art history, but also had quite good painting skills.
Many years ago, when she lived with Delphi and the others in the Temple of Darkness in the Far North Icefield, she often drew murals about the God of Darkness and his believers based on the contents of the "Dark Scripture".
But now in a new dimension, in order to meet the needs of missionary work, Isabella was asked by Delphi to draw more statues for the God of Darkness as soon as she met Delphi.
However, perhaps because of being imprisoned in the dungeon of the Northern Tribunal of the Church of Light for two years, Isabella felt that her painting skills were bad, and she scrapped several manuscripts before she could barely draw a satisfactory outline.
Looking at the waste paper thrown on the floor, Isabella could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the great God of Darkness would be more tolerant and not care about her small offenses.
In contrast, perhaps because she gradually found her touch, she can now draw the manuscript much more smoothly.
She was completely immersed in the world of color, light and shadow, letting inspiration lead her hands to trace exquisite and elegant patterns on paper.
A few minutes later, when she put the last stroke on the paper, she still felt that she was still unfinished.
Then she took a deep breath and began to look at the painting she had just completed.
The proportions of the portraits in the painting are just right and they look lifelike.
He stood alone in the deep night, overlooking all living beings with calm and indifferent eyes.
From an artistic point of view, this is undoubtedly an extremely excellent work, and it can be regarded as an extraordinary performance by Isabella.
only……
In Isabella's view, the tall and aloof figure in the picture actually looks more like the Messenger than the traditional portrait of the God of Darkness.
She didn't know why she was painted like this.
Perhaps it was because in Saint Sophia Cathedral, she vaguely noticed that the statue of the God of Darkness was 30% similar to the Lord Messenger, so she subconsciously referred to the appearance of the Lord Messenger.
Perhaps it is because I have been spending time with the Lord Messenger recently, and in the process of acting as the shadow of the Lord Messenger, I have become increasingly familiar with him.
perhaps……
Isabella took down the painting, intending to crumple it into a ball, throw it aside, and then start over again.
But in the end, she carefully rolled it up and placed it gently beside her.
"I hope the messenger will never see it in this life."
She thought silently in her mind, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised unconsciously.
At this moment, a man walked into the city lord's mansion.
