Chapter 329: Uneatable Pie
Jenkins put on a bright red robe, a golden crown of seventeen gems, and a hundred people ceremonial guard. He used the highest etiquette to invite more than a thousand divine punishmentists from the royal capital into the castle in Huanglan Town.
The Divine Punishers also performed corresponding etiquette, but their attitude was very arrogant. The leading high deacon Salby kept looking at Jenkins with a scrutiny, as if he was examining a junior who had done something wrong.
Jenkins knew their contempt, but he ignored them. After everyone had eaten dinner, they did not directly express their intention, but gave Wilkins a warning first.
"The Archbishop received the news of the failure. I don't know how you feel, but this incident made the Archbishop very angry. You failed the Archbishop's trust and shamed all the God-punished people."
What Salby mentioned is the failure that the previous nineteen God-Punishment Warriors led 800 soldiers died at the hands of Marquis Moritz, the lord of the parrot city (disguised by Cheldan).
Listening to their righteous rebukes, Jenkins sincerely wanted to laugh. Barkern had experienced countless failures since the rebellion. If he had not met a weak king, his soul would have long flown to the Lord's Kingdom of God.
Now that I just lost a battle, I was said to be worthless and said that it would be shamed by all the God-Punishers. Do you really know the concept of shame? What else do you do besides being able to put a hat on it?
Of course, this is just a psychological activity, and there is no expression on the surface. Jenkins doesn't care about their evaluation of himself. He only cares about one thing, how many divine blood stones can be obtained from them.
Toka's judgment was wrong. There were not more than a dozen Divine Punishment Warriors among this group. During the meal, Jenkins had seen thirty-one, and at the lowest was second level, which did not include high-level figures like Salby. Although Jenkins could not smell the smell of him, since Bucken let him be the leader, it proved that this person should have good strength and was probably above the third level.
As long as you send them all, you can exceed the task, but the current difficulty is how to send them.
Barkern did not ask them to reason with Wilkins. The thirty-one Divine Punishment Warriors and more than a thousand soldiers were the combat effectiveness of these people was a world of difference from the nineteen Divine Punishment Warriors before. They were not mobs, but elite Divine Punishment Army who had fallen and crawled on the battlefield.
There are eleven ancient god believers here on Jenkins, and the highest class is Cheldan, the third-level. The strength gap between the two sides is obvious, which means that there is a pie falling from the sky, but Jenkins can't eat it.
Fortunately, this group of divine punishmentists did not intend to take action together. They were preparing to take over Grayfish Town, Skylark Town, Green Fate Town and Huanglan Town where they are currently in, which made Cheldan think of a way to deal with it.
"I can't eat it in one bite, so I can only eat it slowly after a few bites. Toka immediately returns to Qixing Mountain to ask for help. Grey Fish Town and Skylark Town are handed over to you. Jenkins stays in Huanglan Town, and try to hold these divine punishmenters as much as possible. Get more time. Leave it to me in Green Anaconda."
Jenkins said: "How many people do I need to give you?"
"No one is needed, I can only go out of the city secretly. Bringing soldiers with them will arouse their suspicion."
Jenkins said in surprise: "Salby is preparing to send 300 Divine Punishment Army to take over Green Punishment Town, including twelve Divine Punishment Warriors. Green Punishment Town has only more than one hundred defenders and three ancient god believers. They alone may not be able to eat these Divine Punishment Army."
Cheldan said: "I have my own way. If you want to help me delay for five days, I may not be able to defend Green Anaconda, but I can bring back at least twelve divine blood stones.
Remember, don't beg. Once you lower your identity, they won't stay for a long time. You should show the majesty of the divine messenger and let them stay here willingly,"
That night, Toka and Cheldan left Huanglan Town overnight, while Jenkins scratched his head and thought about how to delay time.
The next morning, Salby came to the door and asked Jenkins to issue a document that they would immediately take over the other three towns.
Jenkins first moved out the first excuse: "Marteur of Parrot Moritz has installed a lot of ambush around Huanglan Town. I have sent troops to clear it out and ensure safety along the way, I will ask you to set off."
Salby said with dissatisfaction: "In other words, there are still variables in the towns you captured?"
Jenkins took back his humility and politeness from last night and took out the power of the Holy Messenger: "This is the battlefield, variables are everywhere. If you are in a hurry to take office, I will not stop it. The blood of the nineteen warriors and eight hundred warriors has not dried. May the Lord protect you all the safety of all the way."
Wilkins' attitude changed, which made Salby feel a little nervous. After discussing with other god-punished warriors for a long time, he asked, "How long does it take to eliminate the ambush around you?"
"It will take at least ten days." Jenkins deliberately said a few more days, and even if the other party bargained, there was still enough margin.
Khasalbi's attitude was very tough: "Three days, I will give you three days."
Regardless of the tone or the bargaining standard, this person made Jenkins extremely disgusted. He wanted to fight for another two days, but as Cheldan said, self-destruction would only make the other party even more arrogant. Jenkins simply responded with a sneer: "I still say the same thing. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time. The original owner will protect you!"
On that day, Jenkins sent three groups of people to the three towns in the name of clearing out the ambush. At dinner the next day, a soldier came to the restaurant with bruises and said in front of everyone: "Sir, we encountered Moritz's ambush on the way to Grayfish Town, and the whole army was wiped out."
Before Jenkins could speak, Salby slapped the table and said, "Greyfish Town is the main holy land. Can't the road to the holy land be safe? Moreover, Parrot City is on the east and Grayfish Town is on the west. The enemy bypasses here and sets an ambush to the west. You didn't notice it at all?"
Jenkins said coldly: "I'll say it again, this is a battlefield, with mountains in the southwest and complex roads. It's not a strange thing for the enemy to bypass Huanglan Town to set up an ambush."
Salby looked at Jenkins with fierce eyes. Jenkins looked at Salby with disdain. The restaurant was quiet for a while. Salby pointed at Jenkins and said, "Don't forget, your glory comes from the Archbishop, it's best not to show off my tricks."
Jenkins smiled and said, "The glory of all God-punishers comes from the Lord, including the Archbishop. I am the messenger of the Lord. It is better not to say such blasphemy before me."
On the third day, another messenger came to report that a large number of Parrot City soldiers were found around Green Beast Town.
Salby yelled to set off immediately, but Jenkins prepared the farewell team without stopping: "The document has been written, you can go on the road at any time."
Wilkins' attitude made Salby uneasy. He knew that Wilkins would not hand over the territory easily. Before leaving, Barkern also explained some solutions, even including killing Wilkins directly in Huanglan Town.
But unexpectedly, Wilkins did not show excessive resistance, but instead adopted a laissez-faire attitude, which made Salby worried that he had other conspiracies.
"If you take over Grayfish and Skylark, you will take one step first, and if you go to Green Snake, you will wait for three more days."
Salby made a new decision, and the result was not unacceptable. It depends on whether Toka can respond in time.
