Torento's words immediately made everyone, including the city lord, fall silent and stare at him.
Of course, they paid attention to what happened last night, and they also knew that a group of unidentified strange "things" participated in the battle of Sundeburg, helping Sundeburg defeat the blood-sucking monster and protect the peace of Sundeburg.
The city lord and the shepherds also saw those things, which were skeletons. They still couldn't understand why the skeletons could move, why the skeletons wanted to help them, and where the skeletons came from.
However, some older nobles excitedly told them that it was the holy corpse, the real owner of Sundberg, and it was the holy corpse that protected them.
It doesn't matter whether this is true or false, but the city lord doesn't want to listen.
What holy corpse? It's just a legend. After so many years, no one has seen the real holy corpse, and no one can explain what the holy corpse is.
Only those old nobles who are about to be buried would claim that they have seen the holy corpse and know what it is.
According to the old nobleman, he, the city lord, is still under the holy corpse, so does he still have to obey the orders of those skeletons?
How funny!
The city lord was dissatisfied with the old noble's words, but he really wanted to know what was going on.
At this moment, Torento mentioned that he had discovered a clue, so he asked in a deep voice, "It seems that you know something."
Torrento held his head high and said, "Of course I know. That is the Holy Corpse, summoned by my master. Without the protection of my master and the Holy Corpse, the vampire monster would have been impossible to defeat. This is my master's mercy!"
He kept calling the city lord and the other two shepherds stunned.
Who is this owner?
Why is it the holy corpse again?
The city lord became increasingly irritated, his tone no longer as calm as before, and he said angrily, "Well, Torento, since you say so, then let your master come to see me. I want to see him in person."
As a member of the Undead Clan, Torento was very conscious of maintaining Li Ziyu's prestige. He sternly shouted, "Pay attention to your status! You are merely the Lord of Sundberg. What qualifications do you have for my master to come here in person to see you? Don't you know what the Holy Corpse means? You should greet my master respectfully, as a pilgrim!"
Getting bolder and bolder!
The city lord's face darkened, feeling that he had taken too much care of Torento on a daily basis, so that he now did not distinguish between the big and the small.
Listen to what he said. After all, he is the mayor of this city. There is nothing big or small in the city that he cannot take care of, and there is no one he cannot meet. Yet they dare to let him come to their house in person. What a grand ceremony!
The more the city lord thought about it, the angrier he became. The anger on his face grew stronger and stronger. He smiled in anger and said to Torunto, "Okay, Torunto, then I will go with you to meet this great man and see what he looks like!"
After saying that, he didn't waste any more time and immediately asked people to get ready and set off for the manor in Torrento.
The city lord has made up his mind. He wants to tear off the mask of the master mentioned by Torento. No matter whether this person protects Sundberg or not, he can never snatch power from him!
The four men, accompanied by soldiers and private soldiers, headed towards the Torento Manor. When people on the surrounding streets saw them, they looked around curiously, not understanding what was going on.
The team arrived outside the manor and stopped. It was not that they did not want to move forward, but they could not go any further because the door was blocked.
A dozen Skeleton Blaster-4s holding guns stood at the door, their soul fire burning in their eyes, staring at the approaching team.
At the same time, in the surrounding treetops and shadows, hunters raised their guns and aimed at the soldiers in the team. If the other party tried to force their way in, they would immediately attack and kill the invaders.
Beyond these scary-looking guys, you can see more similar creatures in the manor. Some are even cavalrymen, riding strange-looking things that look like cars but only have two wheels, and they are very fast.
The skeletons look tough to deal with.
These skeletons were exactly the same ones that cleared out the vampire monsters and zombies in the inner city of Sundberg late last night.
The city lord and the shepherd both recognized him and looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant, as if Torento was telling the truth.
What if these are really holy remains?
The city lord was a little worried.
According to legend, the Holy Corpses were once the rulers of the world. They built temples and the first cities, providing shelter to people so that they could survive in this dangerous world.
But the holy corpse has not appeared for many years, and no one has seen it except some old nobles.
The city lord could not explain these moving skeletons, but he did not want them to be holy corpses because that would affect his authority.
Don't admit it?
If it was an ordinary skeleton, he could indeed deny it. The soldiers of Sundberg were under his control, and if he could suppress them, he was still the superior.
But these skeletons are obviously no match for the Sundberg soldiers. Their ferocity far exceeds the soldiers' combat capabilities. They can fight the vampire monsters head-on and kill so many vampire monsters and zombies.
The city lord regretted his recklessness. Why did he come here and humiliate himself?
Now that we are here, there is no point in saying those things. At least we should see the person behind these skeletons, the one whom Torento calls the master.
The city lord stepped forward, coughed lightly, and said to the Skeleton Sprayer guarding the manor, "I am Jonathan, the city lord of Sundberg City. Make way, we need to enter the manor."
……Quiet……
Awkward.
The city lord Jonathan's face twitched. It had been many years since anyone dared to disrespect him like this.
