Chapter 741: The Church of Darkness has rebelled!

Bright Road, West Gate

Under the cover of nightfall, a large group of people wearing black robes quietly arrived at the West Gate of Bright Road, riding on horses instead of coming by train, and looked like they were in a hurry.

At this time, there weren't many guards at the gate due to the fact that the Queen had almost emptied all of the military forces on Bright Road, and even the garrison soldiers were not left with many. So, there were only a few scattered guards at the city gate.

One guard immediately noticed the group of black-robed people outside the city, and raised his torch high, trying to illuminate the group below the city, while loudly asking, "Who are you? What are you doing running around the city gate at this time of night? Immediately state your identity and purpose."

The people below the city gate completely ignored him and stood silently by the gate.

The guard felt an unusual atmosphere, and turned his head to see that two soldiers were turning the winch behind the city gate, seemingly ready to open the gate and let the group of black-robed people in.

He was shocked, "Why are you opening the gate? The origin of this group of people is unknown. Don't open it, ask first..."

The guard was then spared.

The city gate slowly opened, and the black-robed people entered in single file. The small group of city guards also donned black robes and silently followed them. Just as they entered the city, a large number of soldiers appeared outside, wearing black helmets and armor. At first glance, they looked like the Black Earth Knights, but upon closer inspection, their attire was different. The shoulder armor of the Black Earth Knights bore a stone emblem, while the shoulder armor of these soldiers bore a symbol representing the Dark God.

They belonged to the Templar Knights of the Church of Darkness! Once they entered the city, they immediately took control of the city gate. Meanwhile, a large number of soldiers dispersed, patrolling through the streets and alleys, charging towards other city gates.

Finally, some ignorant people noticed this strange team. People who grew up in the war years were clever enough to immediately cover their mouths and obediently return to their own homes, tightly locking their doors and windows. Silently repeating to themselves, "I can't see what's happening outside, I don't know, I don't know anything."

After finishing their silent mantra, they couldn't resist peeping through the window cracks, nervously looking outside.

The team of black-robed men arrived unobstructed at the Church of Darkness, where the Archbishop immediately came out to greet them. He bowed respectfully to the lead black-robed man and said, "Cardinal, I have already arranged everything here."

The Cardinal nodded. "Very good! Let's begin."

The group followed the Archbishop into the Church of Darkness. Soon, the large bell in the center of the Church of Darkness rang suddenly. Its sound echoed through the quiet night, awakening the entire Bright Road from its slumber. Then, the voice of the Cardinal was amplified through a large magical amplifier, "Dark worshippers! The Dark God has an important announcement for you..."
