The Paladins left very quickly, but the matter did not end there. It was not yet dawn the next day, and carriages were seen speeding out of the gates of various prestigious and powerful families. They were either

Head to the outskirts of the city, or to other noble houses. I don’t know how many people were awakened by the rapid sound of horse hooves one night. From this alone, we can know that the impact of the incident on the Holy Church is

How big.

There is no reason why these nobles are so nervous, because more or less of them are involved with those slave merchants, and some of them are even on the lists of those slave merchants. Now these lists have also been searched by the Paladin.

, this had to make them worried. Not to mention that because it was a raid, many nobles who were in the Chamber of Commerce stronghold at that time were also arrested. They were not worried that they were related to the slave trade. To put it bluntly,

They are just customers. They did not kidnap these slaves or bring these people here. It is just that they are worried that the Templar Order will associate them with cultists--look at the Soros family.

No one wants to be the second one on the list.

In addition, what worries the nobles even more is what the Holy Temple wants to do this time!

Without any warning, they directly forcibly searched the legal Chamber of Commerce stronghold... Well, although what the Lion's Claw Chamber of Commerce did was itself illegal, generally speaking, the Holy Temple would not care about such things. According to the past

According to the process, even if they suspect that there is a suspect in a certain stronghold, they will first tell the lord, city lord or sheriff, and then get their consent before joining the police force to act together. Unless there is conclusive evidence, ordinary paladins will not

It's easy to do it. And the only possibility for them to do it directly is to attack the cultists' lair. Once they identify it as a cultist, then everything is useless.

But this time, the Holy Church did not follow the procedures. Several nobles who were acquainted with the local bishops even inquired about the news and were surprised to find that even the local bishops did not know about this matter. Instead, the Holy Church ordered

The high-level officials directly ordered the Paladins to take action. What’s even more terrible is that this attack was carried out all over the place, and every arrest was accurate. Every stronghold was arrested with reasonable evidence, and both the people and the stolen goods were obtained. It is convincing that there was not a single unjust, false or wrong case.

.

At first, the nobles from all over the country thought that the Templar Order was lucky enough to encounter them, but when they contacted each other, they were surprised to find that except for the Southern Alliance, the Lion Claws Chamber of Commerce strongholds in other places were almost wiped out at the same time. Suddenly

I was shocked - it is not surprising that the Paladin has such execution ability, but how did the Templar Order obtain this information? If it was a small chamber of commerce, then they would think that there was something wrong with the other party. But the Lion Claw Chamber of Commerce is so

You are so famous, how can such a problem happen? Well, even if the Lion Minion family has a great business, it would not be surprising if something goes wrong with its subordinates. But if you have problems with all the strongholds in all the territories of the Eagle Plateau? This probability is as long as you are not stupid

Pigs know it's impossible.

So the next question becomes, is the Templar Order specifically targeting the Lion Claw Chamber of Commerce? Or does it have a mysterious and terrifying surveillance network?

But no matter which one it was, it made those nobles break out in a cold sweat. They were able to pull out the lion's claws in all the problematic chambers of commerce strongholds outside overnight without missing any one. From this point of view, it is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

It can be done. In other words, if the Templar Order can deal with the Lion Minions in this way today, can it deal with them in this way tomorrow? Especially those nobles who have connections with cultists and black magic are even more nervous about this.

They don’t know how the Holy Church did it. But they did it anyway. Just imagine, what if they break into their own home one day? There will be no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Don't you want to die?

The nobles were panic-stricken, but in fact, the rightful owner, Vothos, was still sleeping soundly at this moment.

It's no wonder that he wasn't vigilant at all, because those nobles realized that the Templar Order was targeting the Lion's Minions this time as soon as they communicated with each other. They were also not sure what the Lion's Minions Chamber of Commerce had done that made the Templar Cult so aggressive.

Unplugging all the strongholds at once, what a hatred!

Could it be that the Lion Claws Chamber of Commerce is actually a devout believer of an evil god?

The nobles who thought of this decisively drew a clear line with the Lion's Claws Chamber of Commerce. They all still remembered the tragedy that happened in Tagus City. In fact, many times, the reason why those nobles came into contact with cultists was to a large extent.

It's because of the middleman, the businessman. Otherwise, how could those guys who are so industrious and need to be cheered and cheered after leaving the house without seeing the light of day, have any connection with the cultists who are hiding in the dark?

It is precisely because of this that the nobles will immediately think of this issue when something goes wrong. Those with a slightly more active mind may even think that the Lion Claws Chamber of Commerce is an insider of the five major cult organizations? They are lurking here to subvert the Eagle.

Plateau? Could it be that everything that happened during this period has something to do with them, and it was precisely because the Holy Church discovered this that they took action against the Lion Claws Chamber of Commerce?

Although this possibility is very small, it is not impossible. In addition, most of the nobles cherish their lives. If it were something else, they might send someone to report it. But such a big thing happened now, and it is not clear until

They will never come forward if the reason is there. What a joke! The Templar Order's intelligence network is so tight that it can investigate so many slave trading dens under the Lion's Minions. They will send people to report the information in case they are caught by the other party.

Well, doesn’t that make it even more unclear?

It is precisely because of this that there is a lot of traffic outside the houses of other nobles, but the gate of the Lion's Claw Chamber of Commerce is deserted. Not to mention the gate, the three streets centered on the Lion's Claw Chamber of Commerce are empty. No one wants to

They need to have something to do with the Lion's Claw Chamber of Commerce. Even those thieves who make a living by selling information are far away from them now. The methods used by the Templar Order this time are really scary, and those who sell information know better.

It would take such a terrifying intelligence network to quietly get information about so many strongholds and be able to get them all accurately. It would be fine if they sold this information to the Templar Order. But the problem is that they don't know what happened.

There is nothing more terrifying than someone overpowering you in the field you are good at, so these members of the Thieves Guild are also cautiously tightening their tails. The other party can even find out the hidden strongholds of the Lion Claws Chamber of Commerce. Will their own dens be affected?

Also under the control of the Holy Church?

Under such a strange calm, Wausos ushered in a new day.

Perhaps because of his thick nerves, Vothos did not feel any difference between today and yesterday or even tomorrow. After enjoying breakfast, he began to deal with the internal affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. It was not until the end of the day that Vothos discovered

Something is wrong with the situation, because according to convention, the people below should be responsible for reporting to them the situation of various strongholds in the recent period, including those "secret" strongholds. But today he has been waiting and waiting, since morning.

By noon, there was no sign of those people.

What's going on?

"Why haven't they come yet?"

Putting down the last document, Vothos frowned and glanced outside the door. It was quiet outside, without any sound. When he heard Vothos' question, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and shook his head.

Like his master, he had no idea what was going on. However, he was obviously more attentive than Vossos. He only thought about it for a moment, then lowered his voice and spoke.

"I'm going to see what's going on."

Hearing the deputy's words, Vothos nodded, and the middle-aged man immediately turned around and left. Watching his deputy leave, Vothos didn't say anything more, and once again reached out and took out a document and read it.

Before he could finish reading the document in his hand, the next moment, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then the door of the study room, which was originally closed, opened with a bang. Then he saw a middle-aged man with a full face.

He rushed in sweating profusely, looked at Vossus nervously, and then spoke.

"My lord, my lord, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened! We are surrounded by paladins!!"

"What did you say?!"

Hearing this, Vossos was stunned for a moment.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Sir, I originally wanted to go out and take a look at the situation outside. But I found that the Paladins had completely surrounded our Chamber of Commerce. No one was allowed in or out, and there was no one around to see..."

"Where's the Guard? Where are those guys from the City Guard?"

After knowing that the Paladins surrounded his stronghold, Vossos also became nervous. Although he did not think that he had offended the Templar Order in anything, he also knew that something was wrong. Therefore, he hurriedly asked,

You must know that he has a very good relationship with the Lord of Solid Rock City. Because of this, there is always a security team outside the Lion Claws Chamber of Commerce responsible for protecting the security of the Chamber of Commerce. But now they are surrounded by the Holy Church. Where are the members of the security team? They

Why didn't you stop him? Even if he saw that the paladin couldn't stop him, he should have informed himself.

Of course, he didn't expect that after realizing that something was not going well, the Lord of Solid Rock City immediately withdrew the security team. What a joke. It was rare for the Holy Church to make such a big move. There must be something wrong. He wanted to join in and die because he didn't think so.

Are you tired of sitting there and want to go to the dungeon to experience a different kind of life with the prisoners?

"They're not here either!"

"What on earth is going on?"

Hearing this answer, Warsaw frowned immediately. He was not a fool, so he naturally realized that something was wrong. But the question was, where did the problem lie? At this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something,

His face turned pale.

"Sir, could it be him..."

"You mean that bumpkin lord of Parsus?"

Faced with this question, Vossos snorted coldly.

"How is it possible? Even if he is a lord, he cannot instruct the Holy Church to do things for him!"

"Anyway, sir, let's get out of here first..."

Hearing Vossos's rebuttal, the middle-aged man didn't say much and just spoke softly. He always felt that things were a little strange. You must know that the reason why the Paladins outside did not come in just now was because they were obviously waiting for someone. The Nine Saints

Sir, in all his life, he has never seen a Paladin act so arrogantly. What is this going on?

"Leave here? Didn't you say that the outside is surrounded by paladins?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

"We can take the tunnel..."

"There's no need for that."

With these words, the closed door suddenly opened with a bang, and then Bishop Howard and several paladins walked in. He stared at Vossus in front of him with a serious expression, and then said

.

"You must be President Vothos of the Lion's Claw Chamber of Commerce... We suspect that you are related to the Chaos Order. Please go to the temple with us to investigate."

Hearing this, cold sweat suddenly flowed down Vosos's face.
