Chapter 1243: Chapter 333: The Price of Cooperation
"Lord Bishop, that’s all Lord Lynn said..."
Simo pondered for a moment and spoke.
"You don’t need to worry about Lynn’s matters."
"Quickly capture the Raven killers hiding in the city."
"At the same time, starting tomorrow, recruit Church Guards from the loyal followers of the Church to expand the guard forces!"
Receiving Simo’s instructions, Samuel promptly responded.
"Yes, Lord Bishop."
Simo continued speaking, "If there is nothing else, then you may withdraw."
Samuel responded again, "Yes, Lord Bishop, rest well and take care of your health."
As Simo watched Samuel retreat, leaving the bedroom and closing the double wooden doors, his brows remained tightly knitted.
The words Samuel had just conveyed sounded particularly jarring to Simo’s ears.
But Simo understood.
Lynn was indeed capable of saying such words!
Because.
Lynn now had a large contingent of armored soldiers, wielding formidable military power!
Coupled with the downfall of Viscount Jon Zack’s army, Lynn faced no restraints or threats!
If they incited Lynn’s anger.
Perhaps Lynn would lead his forces and assault Kakasong City.
A powerful sense of crisis surged in Simo’s heart.
Kakasong City housed a large number of Free People.
However.
The current Kakasong City lacked a leader, a ruler, making it difficult to gather these forces.
Whether it’s to defend against Lynn, who might launch a siege.
Or to fight against other invading forces.
He must quickly unite the Free Nobles, wealthy merchants, and Workshop Masters within the city.
Otherwise.
Kakasong City would be nothing but scattered sand, devoid of any combat capability!
As thoughts swirled in Simo’s mind.
The nearby ajar door was gently pushed open.
Simo swiftly turned his gaze and looked over.
A voluptuous woman draped in a thin silken robe stepped out, her fair legs moving gracefully.
As she walked, the ample curves in front of her swayed continually.
Along with her flushed face, her eyes gleamed with a flickering desire.
Simo’s brows raised, his eyes unabashedly scanning the woman’s body.
The anger in his heart was gradually replaced by an instinctive desire.
The voluptuous woman crossed the carpet and came to stand before Simo.
In Simo’s surprised gaze.
The voluptuous woman straddled Simo’s legs, her voice full of charm and softness reached Simo’s ears.
"Lord Bishop, the Deception Breaking Ceremony is not yet complete..."
"I need your continued guidance, to lead me out of endless perplexity..."
Looking at the full and rounded presence before him, Simo’s breath quickened again, responding.
"Of course! Lady Oliveira!"
...
Wearing the Cross Badge Plate Armor, Samuel walked with heavy steps along the corridor.
Along the way.
The sound of footsteps and the metallic clash and friction between plate and cloth armor echoed continuously.
The three guards waiting ahead, hearing the footsteps, quickly turned to look.
Upon seeing Samuel, the three guards immediately moved to greet him.
Coming before Samuel, they simultaneously and respectfully addressed him.
"Captain of the Guard."
Samuel responded with a word and spoke.
"Gather all the guards immediately."
"I need the Raven killers hiding in Kakasong City captured tonight."
The three guards had no questions, responding promptly.
"Yes, Captain of the Guard."
Upon hearing their responses, two of the guards immediately left.
Samuel, with the guard following him, headed towards the training field behind the Church.
When Samuel arrived at the training field.
Dozens of Church Guards adorned in armor, wearing iron helmets, and equipped with longswords awaited.
Standing at the forefront of the group, Samuel’s gaze swept across the faces of the guards.
"I believe you all know why you’re being assembled in the dead of night."
"It is upon the command of Lord Bishop Simo."
"I need to lead you to capture the Raven killers quickly and deliver them to Lord Bishop for judgment!"
"If we cannot complete the capture tonight."
"Then we continue tomorrow during the day, and if still unsuccessful, we continue at night."
"Until the Raven killers are captured!"
"Understood?"
The gathered guards, with solemn expressions, responded in unison.
"Understood!"
Their voice was uniform and powerful.
Samuel nodded in satisfaction, "Mount up now, and depart immediately!"
With those words.
The group moved quickly, mounting their warhorses.
Amongst the shouts of horse riding and the chaotic sound of hoofbeats.
Samuel led the guard cavalry, departing from the Church training field towards the residential area of Kakasong City.
The sound of hoofbeats reverberated, awakening the slumbering residents.
One by one, oil lamps or candles were lit in the dark rooms.
The disturbed residents, filled with annoyance, opened their windows to peer outside.
Upon seeing the cavalry clad in Cross Badge Armor, their hearts filled with tension.
...
In the darkness-covered alley.
Gasper and Balin watched ahead with stern expressions.
A five-member Church Guard team, having searched a house without detecting them in the shadows, moved to another house.
Once the guard team was gone.
Gasper led Balin past the shadows, trying to avoid the other Church Guard teams as much as possible.
