PFC Chapter 677: Rhea's Attack
Chapter 677: Rhea's Attack
It's no secret that the Seth Empire wants to invade the Beast Forest, and attacking the Earth God Cult can effectively hinder this invasion. The beneficiary is obviously the Beast Forest, and the Beast Forest is now in close contact with the Campbell family.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the savage orcs in the Beast Forest are stupid and poor. It is absolutely impossible for them to organize a terrorist attack of such a scale, so the answer is obvious.
If the mastermind isn’t the Campbell family, who else could be behind this?
But in fact, everyone knows that the Moon Goddess Sect is more or less involved in it, but no one is willing, and no one dares to doubt it.
After all, at this stage, neither the Seth Empire nor the Earth God Cult wants to become completely hostile to the Moon Goddess Cult, at least not openly.
Be it the seriously wounded and dying earth priests, the soldiers injured on the front lines, or even all the sick people in the entire Seth Empire, they all rely on the professional healing and purification techniques of the Moon Goddess Sect.
And most importantly, Central Plains has always been the territory of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect since ancient times.
As the time came to midnight, the number of patrolling heavily armored knights increased instead of decreasing. There were no pedestrians on the streets and the lights were off in most houses. This was the best time for a terrorist attack.
Near the churches of the various Earth God Religions, the patrolling heavy-armored knights were extremely nervous, and the magical barriers were overwhelming.
Because two days ago, a terrorist attack occurred in the ancient city of Kojie, and an archbishop of the Earth God Church was killed on the spot.
Several hours later, nothing happened in the inner city area of the ancient city of Kejie. The magic street lamps on both sides of the street emitted a cold light, and the only sound in the empty city area was the uniform footsteps of the heavily armored knights.
It seems that the Earth Church was lucky tonight and successfully spent a safe night...
The most dangerous patrol guard shift change time has passed, and there is still no movement in the second half of the night. As dawn approaches, the patrol knights' vigilance gradually decreases, and they begin to silently think about what to eat for breakfast later.
The unbearable night passed quickly. When the light of the two suns illuminated the sky, rays of sunlight sprinkled on the ancient city of Kejie. The ancient city gradually woke up, and some breakfast shops and morning market merchants had already started working.
Many breakfast vendors pushing carts began to sell their breakfasts on the streets. They worked harder than each other because they had less than two hours to sell breakfast.
After nine o'clock, the urban management of Kejie Ancient City will go to work, and then these breakfast vendors pushing carts will be fined for affecting the city appearance.
The knights, who had been patrolling for most of the night, were now starving. They were wearing armor weighing hundreds of pounds and had been walking all night. Their nerves were tense, so the moment they smelled the aroma of bread, their body and mind completely relaxed.
"Hey, what's in this car?"
"Master, there are Dongtu buns stuffed with mutton, as well as a lot of soft white bread, corn buns and black bean cakes, all freshly baked..."
A few minutes before the shift change, a patrol captain stopped a breakfast vendor's cart. It looked like he was doing a routine inspection, but in fact he was just buying breakfast.
Patrol riders are only responsible for maintaining law and order; it is not their job to manage the city's appearance.
The prices offered by these breakfast vendors pushing carts are fair and affordable, much cheaper than those in the shops, and the food tastes good. Some breakfast carts with a good reputation are often sold out in less than half an hour.
The breakfast vendor deftly lifted the white cloth and showed his steaming hot goods to the patrol knight captain with a flattering expression, because he could see that this was a big customer, a top-notch big customer!
Although these knights patrolling the inner city are not rich, they are the most law-abiding. Not only will they not eat or dine on credit, sometimes they don't even ask for change when buying things, so breakfast vendors usually deliberately hang around the knight patrols.
"Are you old Miles' son?"
"Master, I am his new apprentice in making buns. My name is Charles. I am in charge of selling the goods in the Church Street area today..."
The patrol knight leader nodded upon hearing this, then grabbed a very good-looking mutton bun and stuffed it into his mouth. After a while, he nodded and said, "I'll take care of the whole car. My brothers behind me are all hungry."
"Okay, okay, I'll push it over to the Knights' Guard on Church Street and wait for you!"
Charles' joy was beyond words, he knew that his strategy was correct. There were the most patrolling knights near the Cathedral of the Earth. He estimated that he could sell at least three carts of food this morning, and the apprentice's promotion to kitchen helper was just around the corner.
"and many more!"
Just as Charles was about to push the cart away, the patrol knight stopped him. Not only that, he even drew his sword and put it on Charles' neck, saying in a bad tone: "How can a baker's apprentice like you afford Campbell's leather boots? The lowest market price is five gold coins, which is half a month's salary for me!"
"Master, master, these are not my boots, but my master Miles's. I helped him clean his shoes today and secretly put them on. I will put them back after selling breakfast. This cannot be considered stealing. You..."
Upon hearing this, the patrol knight leader looked at Charles' leather boots suspiciously and found that the size was indeed not suitable and they looked a bit worn out. They were a style from two years ago.
"Well, it seems that I have wrongly blamed you." The Knight Commander put away his greatsword and said softly, "The ancient city of Kejie is under martial law recently. I am a little nervous. You should leave quickly. Save enough money in the future and try to buy a pair of Campbell leather boots of your own."
Feeling the cold sword leaving his neck, Charles breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and saluted to the patrol knight captain repeatedly, and soon pushed the cart towards the knight guard post at the end of the street.
Another knight guard was patrolling over. The knight in front glanced at the Campbell diamond-studded magic watch on his hand, stretched and said, "Sir, it's time to change shifts."
"Continue patrolling," the Knight Commander said sternly, raising the sword at his waist, "You can only leave when the guards who are taking over the shift arrive. This is the rule!"
"Okay, okay. Oh, by the way, the breakfast vendor I just met had beef-filled Dongtu buns on his cart. Do you want some?"
"Boom——"
Before he could finish, a violent explosion occurred in the nearby Earth Church. It was Charles. He stood in front of the church gate. The muscles in his hands burst out and he lifted an entire breakfast cart high up. Then, he threw it into the Earth Church in front of the shocked eyes of the knights.
"Rumble--"
There was another violent explosion, and the Earth Cathedral was directly engulfed in flames. Charles wiped his face, and his figure gradually became strong again. It was the giant lion orc Rhea. At this time, he smiled and waved to the patrol knight captain.
