Creed of the heavens

She marked a special red symbol on Yongzhen's foc: "I found an ancient ruin, which is near the east wall of the palace wall."

Yongzhen's feet paused for a moment, and Aloy turned around suspiciously: "Sister Yongzhen?"

"It's nothing."

Putting this information in his heart for the time being, Yongzhen said to Aletheia who was temporarily lodged in his body through mental waves: "Don't tell Lu Xiao this information for now, let him concentrate on performing the current task."

"When the sandstorm dissipates, I will take Aloy to the ruins to investigate the situation. Maybe this is an excellent opportunity to divert Bahawa's attention."

……

Deep in the Li Palace of Sunset Castle, the bedroom of the puppet king Itamen.

Only Itamen, who was less than ten years old, was wearing a king's costume similar to Yavid's, huddled in his mother's arms in horror and did not dare to look up.

Standing in front of Itamen was a man in dark red sacrificial attire, with falcon-like eyes staring straight at Itamen under the priest's hood.

"Your Majesty, it's time to make up your mind."

"Sooner or later, the group of regicide rebels will attack us. Instead of passively fighting, it is better for us to strike first."

"Your loyal soldiers will definitely take Meridian City and bring the kingdom twisted by the false king Yavid back on track."

With the knowledge of Itamen's age, she couldn't understand Bahava's long speeches at all, and she was just an ordinary woman who unfortunately lost her husband after she took office not long ago, lacking a big picture.

Unable to get support from his mother, Itamen could only order tremblingly: "High Priest Bahava, authorized in the name of the Sun King, you are fully responsible for this war."

The corner of Bahawa's mouth curled into an unsurprising smile, and on the surface he bowed politely to Itamen: "Of order, Your Majesty."

'My time has finally come! '

Chapter 452 One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers unless one male and one female

Even if there were no guards to be seen on the street, someone would still be guarding an important place of the royal family like the Li Palace.

The shadow Calgar soldiers, who completely covered their mouths and noses, stood upright in the sandstorm. These elite soldiers were trained by Sirius himself, and they had excellent combat effectiveness and willpower.

Lu Xiao, who had activated breath blocking and battlefield ghosts, passed by the guards from the palace, and the guards who were engrossed in it failed to notice anything unusual.

"crunch~"

Just at this time, a gorgeously dressed man walked out from the gate of the Li Palace surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

I don't know if it was because he was afraid of death, but this distinguished hooded man was surrounded by more than [-] elite guards who were fully armed.

While leaving the palace, the two controlled field clearers obediently approached the man, and turned on the radar to continuously scan the vicinity.

Lu Xiao was extremely fortunate that she had obtained the Ghost of the Battlefield before entering the world of Zero Dawn. Faced with such a high-tech investigation method, breath blocking alone is not enough.

Pricking up her ears to eavesdrop, Lu Xiao vaguely heard the conversation between the man and his subordinates.

"Lord Bahava, what does His Majesty say?"

The man of noble status is the conspirator who actually mastered the shadow Calgar, the High Priest of the Sun Cult Bahawa.

"Hmph~" Bahawa said with a soft snort, "Your Majesty has entrusted me with the command. It's time to liquidate those traitors and retake Meridian City."

"Notify Sirius, let him return to the city immediately, now is not the time to play those little tricks taught by the eclipse."

Speaking of the eclipse religion, Bahava's face was obviously displeased.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

As the leader of Calgar's traditional Sun Cult, Bahawa is very resistant to the newly rising Eclipse Cult.

Sirius' recent abnormal behavior made him more and more unable to understand this ally, and Bahawa always felt a little uneasy.

'After the war is over, find an opportunity to get rid of him as well. The new Sun Empire does not need two rulers. '

Bahawa could guess that Sirius probably had the same idea in mind.

But he is confident that when it comes to playing internal struggles and intrigues, Sirius, who was a soldier, is by no means his opponent.

The most important thing to watch out for is Sirius' hard work. In order to gain enough power to speak, Bahawa began to corrupt Sirius' subordinates with a lot of money more than a year ago.

When Sirius was not in the city, Bahava's orders were absolute, and even the arena, which was gaining so much money every day, fell into his hands completely, and all the guards in the arena were already Bahwa's people.

'Is the High Priest Bahava? '

Lu Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, squinted her eyes, and weighed whether to forcibly kill him here.

'Forget it, it's important to get down to business, it will make the rescue more difficult if you start a warning, so let him live a little longer. '

"Consus."

"I'm here."

"Help me track Bahawa's whereabouts. I want to know where his residence is."

"no problem."

When Bahawa left the palace, the sandstorm began to dissipate slowly as Aletheia predicted, the desert sky became clear again, and the vicious sun directly shone on the oasis city.

The defense of the Li Palace is indeed very tight. It can be said that there are three steps, one post and five steps, and some important entrances are lined up with many soldiers, completely blocking the entrance passage.

Lu Xiao didn't want to start a killing spree in Li Palace, so he tried to climb to the beam above the palace, preparing to break in from a high altitude.

The old and cunning Bahawa was very thoughtful, and even the secret whistle he set up could be seen on the beams of the house.

After entering Li Palace, Lu Xiao fully turned on his eagle vision, and he quickly discovered the secret whistle hidden behind the beam.

'Here too? '

Lu Xiao took off the folding bow from the armor and tried to aim at the secret whistle hidden behind the beams at the same time, but finally chose to give up.

'No, there are too many obstacles to guarantee simultaneous hits. We can only wait for Yongzhen and Ailoy to create a commotion to distract these guards. '

……

"Sister Yongzhen, where are we going?"

Being brought by Yongzhen to the outer wall on the east side of the Li Palace, Ailoy looked puzzled at the unfinished scaffolding nearby.

"Shh~"

Yongzhen put his finger up at the front, and pointed forward with the other finger: "Look there."

Looking in the direction pointed by Yongzhen, Ailoy, who was still a little confused, suddenly raised his vigilance.
