Mikoyan sent Wu Lai out of the temple.

"Now that you're back, I see hope," Mikoyan said sincerely to Wu Lai.

"I really hope that I will not disappoint you. Thank you for taking care of the Green Building for so long." Wu Lai nodded. "Also, you guys should hurry up and prepare. I may leave at any time." Saint Lean had just entrusted Wu Lai to take Mikoyan and several other priests to refuge, because the temple could be demolished and burned, but the classics passed down in the temple for hundreds of years could not be lost. The priests headed by Mikoyan needed to escort these classics to a safe place, and wait until one day in the future when Assyria restored order, they would see the light of day again.

"Okay, I will." Mikoyan couldn't help but sigh after answering, because he really couldn't imagine that the future of the temple would eventually have to rely on Wu Lai for protection. The most important thing was that when Saint Leon proposed it, Wu Lai agreed without hesitation. You know, he had just experienced hardships that ordinary people could hardly imagine, and there were still wounds on his body that were bleeding.

Mikoyan also knew that Wu Lai was not Saint Lean's original entrustor. Compared with those who were selfish enough to cruelly reject Saint Lean, Wu Lai was undoubtedly much more noble.

"Are you going back to the Green Building?" Mikoyan sent Wu Lai to the carriage.

"No, I have to go find Chief Connor first." Wu Lai smiled slightly, "Let's meet at the Green Building tonight. Titania is about to collapse, I'm sure of that."

Mikoyan nodded again.

…

The rumbling sound of the wheels rolling on the stone road made Connor feel a little confused. He had been running day and night these days, but he kept running into obstacles everywhere. It was no exaggeration to say that he was exhausted.

Connor knew very well that the war faction headed by him had run into obstacles everywhere because of Gosmondo's obstruction. If not, with the population base and reserves of Assyria and Annan, it would not be difficult to mobilize a garrison force of hundreds of thousands. If the Xiuman family far away in Kayikede could also lend a hand, the Hurrians might be able to be stopped. If they were luckier, for example, if most of the main forces of the Hurrians were consumed, perhaps those occupied territories could be fought back more easily. Anyway, the Tianjuan Empire must still be busy stabilizing the situation and would not be able to take care of Assyria for the time being, otherwise they would not have sent only a few messengers.

"Hurry up, I have a headache!" Connor shouted to the driver outside the curtain, rubbing his face. The hustle and bustle around him made him feel uncomfortable all over, because he knew that the noise was no longer the prosperity of the past, but was caused by those who were leaving Assyria. These days, many people fled Assyria with their families every day, some went to Kayked, some went to Longvington, and some even went to Menia - obviously they felt it was safer to be ruled by the Hurrians.

"Chief, there's a traffic jam ahead," the driver replied.

Stuck? Connor couldn't help but push open the window and look out. He saw five or six carriages crisscrossing the road about twenty steps ahead of the carriage. There were also a dozen or so people arguing there, seemingly blaming each other, and a bunch of people gathered around to watch.

“These people, it’s already this late, and they’re still…” Connor smiled bitterly and shook his head, while withdrawing his body.

He didn't notice that dozens of masked men holding bows and arrows suddenly appeared on the roofs of houses on both sides of the road.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish", a series of sharp sounds came from the sky, and Connor's coachman and two cavalry guards fell down immediately. The horses pulling the carriage were also hit by several arrows. They cried sadly and rushed forward, pulling the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Connor had fallen sideways, with a feather arrow nailed to his shoulder, neck, left chest, right leg, and right waist. The sudden galloping of the startled horse had undoubtedly made his injuries worse. He was trembling with pain all over. He wanted to jump out of the car and leave, but it seemed as if all the strength in his body was taken away by a big hand in an instant...

The arrows were still chasing, and the vehicles and people on the road began to scream and flee in all directions, and the crowded scene became more and more chaotic.

“Go!” With a loud shout, the 10 or 20 people who were “arguing” just now suddenly drew their weapons and rushed towards Connor’s carriage…

…

"I'm going to find Gosmondo." After hesitating for a long time, Wu Lai opened his eyes and said to Loli, Iris, Shelley, Puya and others who were sitting opposite him.

"No, Wu Lai, Connor's revenge will naturally be avenged by his family. You just came back and your health is so poor. Besides, those bad guys hiding in the dark may be looking for you again." Loli pouted and said.

"Yes, Master, don't go." Iris was about to cry. She had been looking forward to it all day long for the past year. She had woken up from nightmares countless times and told herself countless times that Master Wu Lai would definitely come back. Unexpectedly, Wu Lai did come back, and he was looking for trouble with others before he even had time to sit down. If it was in the past, it would be fine, but the situation outside is so chaotic now. Besides, is Gosmondo easy to mess with? Shelley glanced at Wu Lai, but said nothing. After sharing weal and woe with Wu Lai for a year, she knew very well that Wu Lai was always calm at all times. He had nothing to do with making decisions casually. Besides, Gosmondo had a personal grudge against both her and Wu Lai.

"Master, think twice." Pu Ya advised after thinking for a while.

"Just like Lori said, Chief Connor's men will seek revenge on Cosmondo." Wu Lai smiled and said, "Cosmondo is naturally on guard, so if the two sides meet, there will be a bloody storm, which will inevitably affect innocent people and make the already chaotic Assyrian city even more out of control. Instead of that, it's better for me to deal with Cosmondo. On the one hand, I can get revenge, and on the other hand, I can eliminate the hidden dangers."

After Wu Lai said this, everyone had nothing to say. After hesitating for a while, Loli asked, "When do you plan to go?"

"No hurry, I have to wait for someone to come. By the way, I haven't eaten today." Wu Lai replied with a smile.

"Ah, look at me. I'm so happy to see you back." Loli stood up quickly and waved at Elise, "Elise, hurry up, let's go to the kitchen and take a look."

After watching the two loli girls leave, Shelley glanced at Puya and then looked at Wu Lai: "Oh, Wu Lailindo, you seem to have a lot of women."

"Not a small amount? I don't think so." Wu Lai shrugged and spread his hands.

"It's really a lot. By the way, do you still feel it's not enough?" Shelley asked with a pout.

"Well." Wu Lai scratched the back of his head pretentiously and chuckled, "Actually, I think it's about the same."

"Puchi..." Pu Ya on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.

…

The one who ordered Connor to be chopped into pieces was naturally Cosmondo. The situation was pressing, and he didn't care about any criticism this would cause, because if he didn't grab the life-saving straw of seeking refuge with Tianjuan, he, Cosmondo, would perish together with Mondo Woye.

The messenger of the Heaven's Favour approached Connor at the same time, and proposed the same conditions: whoever pledged allegiance would own the cities of Assyria and Annan. Cosmondo knew that Connor would not agree to this, and at some point Cosmondo even thought that he should do something righteous, such as severely rebuking the messenger of the Heaven's Favour.

But he didn't dare. The troops of Mondovo had been exhausted in the Kayked defense zone. Now Mondovo could no longer gather a decent military force to fight for him. In this way, even if he agreed with Connor in favor of war, Connor would not take him, Cosmondo, too seriously. At best, he would be regarded as a runner and messenger.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Running errands and delivering messages would be fine, but the problem is that victory would not bring him any benefits. If he loses, Mondowoye will inevitably be purged...

In this case, it would undoubtedly be much more beneficial to surrender to Tianjuan. Once Assyria and Annan become Tianjuan's territories, the Hurlites would not dare to touch them easily, because that would represent an active provocation to Tianjuan. Think about it, Tianjuan's army can drive the Hurlits and Kimos from their territory to Assyria, and they have the strength to destroy them.

Gosmondo even believed that Emperor Tianjuan had sent a messenger with the same words to Hulit, because he found that Emperor Tianjuan's trick was very effective - first put the terrifying force there for you to see, and then threaten you to agree, without being in a hurry, and gradually break down your psychological defenses, taking down one city after another, without bloodshed, but with obvious results.

However, at this moment, Cosmondo had no time to "learn" these strategies and tactics. He was very busy because he knew that Connor's people would come to retaliate against him. Although the other party had no evidence, Cosmondo was unwilling to pin his hopes on the other party's people to remain calm and listen to his explanation from beginning to end. What's more, he was not willing to explain at all - doing so would make his subordinates feel that he was an irresponsible person.

Although he really wanted to find a place to hide, Gosmondo had to continue staying in his mansion. Firstly, he needed to show his openness. Secondly, after he raised the banner of peace at the members' meeting, many nobles came to him in recent times, and it was not appropriate to receive them somewhere else.

However, for the sake of safety, Gosmondo not only increased the number of sentries, but also started to search people at the second gate - except for his own people, everyone else had to go through it first.

On the evening of the fourth day after Connor's death, just as Gosmondo's carriage stopped in front of his mansion, several crossbow arrows flew out from the shop across the street. The coachman and the doorman immediately fell to the ground, covering their legs. The dozen or so cavalry guards quickly rode their horses to surround the carriage.

At the same time, the door of the shop opened, and Wu Lai, wrapped in a white robe, ran out quickly, constantly pulling the trigger of the crossbow as he ran. The cavalry guards were immediately in chaos. When they came to their senses and realized that they had to divide their troops to meet the enemy, a huge white shadow suddenly rushed out from the alley at the end of the street, crossed a distance of a hundred steps in an instant, and slammed into Gesmondo's carriage.

With a loud "bang", the horse turned into a large ball of meat paste, and the carriage shattered instantly. Gosmondo, who was already panicked by the screams outside the carriage, was wrapped in a pile of wood chips and thrown more than 20 steps away. He fell heavily to the ground, and his bones broke with a loud clanging sound. No one knew how many of them were broken into pieces.

Wu Lai smiled coldly and walked towards the still struggling Gosmondo. The remaining cavalry guards would be taken care of by Mengbao, so there was no need for him to worry about them.

However, Wu Lai's murderous aura did not seem to spread too far. After the surrounding residents, vendors, and pedestrians were basically sure that Wu Lai's target would not be themselves, they all cast their gazes at him with fearful curiosity.

"Puff", Gosmondo spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva with two teeth in it.

"It's you?" The moment he saw the person's face clearly, Gosmondo's eyes were filled with horror.

"It's me, I'm back." Wu Lai smiled and squatted beside Gosmondo. "Guess what I'm going to do to you next?"

"No, Wuleglindo, cough cough cough, I, I can give you a lot..." Gosmondo's words came to an abrupt end because a dagger was already placed on his neck.

"You should pray for the forgiveness of God Amon. You have done too many dirty things. Die!" Wu Lai said coldly. With a move of his hand, the dagger immediately cut into Cosmondo's neck. With a forceful cut, "puff", a large amount of blood splashed...
