Chapter 147: Siege of the Church

Chloe lowered her head as she pushed Hughes out of the room. She was too embarrassed to raise her head.

It was indeed her recklessness that caused the problem. When the two of them were trying, they should have at least called someone over. She was the Fire Moth, so she naturally knew how dangerous these things were. Thinking about it now, she still felt a little scared.

If she died because of her own stupidity, there would be nothing to say, but she almost killed Hughes.

The Fire Moth has now reached a cooperation with Castel, but it is a very fragile cooperation. If Zeus dies here, the angry banshees will tear apart their entire church without any reason.

Even now it has come.

Hughes opened the trapdoor, climbed up the ladder, and was immediately pulled behind by Finnel.

The Banshees were standing in the church with weapons in hand, and several Fire Moth believers were pinned to the ground by them.

The trapdoor was open, but the banshees did not come down. They cast cold glances at Chloe who was standing below.

Chloe took a deep breath and climbed up the ladder.

It was indeed safe for her to hide underground. The trapdoor divided the place into two parts, and the banshees could not attack. However, this incident was caused by her recklessness, and she could not just escape like this.

When she got up there, the banshees looked at her even more unfriendly.

Her body was covered in Zeus' blood, especially on her hands and face. The banshees could smell it, but she didn't have a single scar on her body. It seemed that she was the one who hurt Zeus.

The banshees were tall, and the dome of the church was already very high, but it seemed a little cramped against their backdrop.

They held weapons in their hands, and their snake tails covered with hard scales and their bodies as strong and muscular as steel made them look like killing machines. Chloe suddenly felt like she was standing in front of a group of chariots ready to charge.

Chloe was not tall to begin with, and the banshees surrounded her, their tall bodies leaning on their weapons cast shadows, and they lowered their heads and stared at her with cold eyes.

Like huge statues.

Chloe stood there without saying a word, and the church was completely silent.

"Lord, what happened? Not long ago, I couldn't get in touch with you, and then you suddenly started losing a lot of health. I have contacted Ash and brought the rest of the people here first."

Zeus glanced around. There were less than a hundred Banshees in total. Ash and Nini led two teams each. There were only about twenty people left on the island. Except for Monica, all of them came.

"Wow, Lord, are you okay? They locked me in the room and won't let me come. Hurry up and let them let me out." In the group chat, Monica was making a loud noise. Xius comforted her and then looked at Finnel.

"I'm fine, it's just a misunderstanding. The gathering point of the Fire Moths seems to have some kind of shielding function, so I can't communicate with you. Tell Ash not to come back."

Ash: "My Lord, Nini and I have completed our investigation and are on our way back. I hope you are alright."

Zeus said this in the group chat, and Ash actually replied to him directly through the mind link.

Hughes: "So fast? I thought you were out in the open sea, but it turns out you've already established a mind link. Anyway, don't worry. Chloe and I had a little trouble with our experiment just now, but it's all right now."

After Xiu Si finished speaking in the group, he looked up at the people around him. Chloe was still being stared at by several people and she didn't dare to breathe.

"Okay, it's okay, it's just a misunderstanding. I mean, your underground shielding measures are pretty good. I can't even contact the Banshees."

"This is done with the help of the technology of the Candlelight Church. It can indeed block a lot of detection inside."

Chloe said carefully.

"Then maybe we should station some people there." There was no emotion in Finnel's tone.

She was actually quite angry. She didn't know what had happened to Sister Chloe. She could tell from her guilty expression and the look on her lord's face.

Needless to say, what Zeus meant to the Banshees, and he almost got into trouble in Castel.

Finnel was not interested in experiments or fighting, but she still picked up weapons without hesitation and brought all her tribesmen here. This was her duty.

But as for Chloe, it seemed that the nun did not fulfill her obligations.

Xius pondered for a moment and said, "This accident is not her fault. In fact, she took a higher risk. I was the relatively safe one. It's just that the development of the matter was completely beyond our expectations. There is nothing we can do about it."

"My Lord." Finnel turned to look at Xius. There was a hint of anger in her tone, but she didn't say anything. She simply asked, "What shall we do next?"

"Go back. This accident is very strange. I need to investigate it in detail. Let everyone go."

There were also several followers of the Fire Moth being controlled by the banshees. Although they didn't do anything extreme, they didn't look happy either.

Soon, the banshees let them go, swaying their tails as they quietly left the church.

Zeus sighed. Perhaps he would need to appease the banshees later. He could feel the banshees' emotions. It was normal for them to be anxious. After all, they didn't know that Lord Zeus was just a shell.

Perhaps he needs to be more careful in the future. What he is carrying on his shoulders now is not his own life, but the expectations of too many people.

Chloe was the same. After everyone left, she whispered, "I'm sorry, I wasn't well prepared."

"Let's go to the testing ground next time. There are more people there."

Chloe nodded quickly. This was what the Fire Moths had always done. Various experiments often came with huge risks, so they were actually always cautious.

It's just that all the tests that Zeus and she had done today were too successful, whether it was telling secrets or spreading knowledge through speculation, which made her a little excited and forgetful.

Moreover, she didn't expect that she would be hurt by a mortal like Zeus. She thought she could control the overall situation.

This is actually the key point. She lost control inexplicably.

Xius also thought of this. He stroked his chin and asked, "Does your extraordinary path have the possibility of sudden loss of control and sudden amnesia?"

"No. At least I've never heard of it." Chloe also frowned. Losing control is too terrible for a supernatural being. If they are exposed to pollution, they may not wake up.

"You haven't had it yourself before?"

"No."

Hughes thought about it and asked hesitantly: "Do you feel that there is some kind of connection between you and me?"
