Chapter 1157: Chapter 319: The Death of Jon Zuck (10,000 Words) (Part 2)
Shing~
Under the gaze of Jon Zacks and a few Church Guards.
Samuel’s right hand moved, gripping the hilt of the longsword at his waist.
With a sharp, grating sound of the blade scraping against the scabbard, the sword was unsheathed.
In the distant glow of the firelight, the blade flashed an orange-yellow gleam.
The blade plunged fiercely into Jon Zacks’ chest.
Thud~
In an instant.
The exceptionally sharp blade tip pierced into Jon Zacks’ chest, the bloodstained tip protruding from the back.
Seeing Samuel’s actions, feeling the intense pain from his body.
Jon Zacks’ face showed the thrill of surviving a catastrophe.
Instantly turned to shock and disbelief.
Jon Zacks’ eyes widened.
Glanced at Samuel standing in front of him.
Then painfully and slowly lowered his head, looking at the silver-white blade embedded in his chest.
"You..."
Samuel’s right arm suddenly exerted force, pulling out the sharp blade.
Jon Zacks’ words were left unsaid.
The body, leaning against the warhorse’s carcass, slumped and fell backward, hitting the ground.
Stream after stream of blood flowed from the sword wound in his chest and back.
Pooled into a blood-red patch, staining the dry ground scarlet.
Samuel directly ignored the gaze of the guards.
His right wrist turned, the longsword twirled into a flourish, moving towards the kneeling Knight Commander Ah Ke on the ground.
When Samuel stood in front of Ah Ke, the turning longsword in his right hand suddenly halted.
Gripping the sword handle tightly, he thrust it towards Ah Ke’s chest.
Crack~
The blade pierced through like breaking through charcoal, making a splintering sound.
Until Samuel withdrew the longsword from his hand.
The kneeling Knight Commander Ah Ke remained soundless and motionless.
Staring at the chest beneath the cracked chest armor, which had ceased its beating.
Samuel withdrew his gaze, looked at the several guards opposite with complex expressions, and said.
"Throw them into the sea of fire!"
The guards exchanged glances, momentarily unsure of what to do.
Their Captain Samuel had assassinated Viscount Jon Zacks, who escaped from the sea of fire.
Now he demanded they throw the bodies into the inferno to obliterate the evidence!
With a stern face, Samuel continued.
"What? Do you want to defy my orders?"
Sensing the coldness in Samuel’s words, the guards were terrified and quickly replied.
"Yes, Captain."
The guards sprang into action.
Together they lifted the bodies of Jon Zacks and Ah Ke.
And slowly walked towards the nearby forest fire.
Under Samuel’s watchful gaze.
The guards threw the bodies of Jon Zacks and Ah Ke into the sea of fire...
Watching the guards briskly leave the inferno.
Samuel withdrew his gaze, faced the crowd, and shouted loudly.
"Up to now, no survivors have been evacuated from the Fire of Lorraine."
"Continue to patrol and report immediately if survivors are found."
"Also, ensure the Fire of Lorraine does not spread and burn the farmland."
The Church Guards patrolling near the forest fire quickly responded in unison.
"Yes, Captain of the Guard."
The guards dared not utter a word and re-immersed themselves into the forest patrol.
Looking at the burning flames in the distance, Samuel’s face, illuminated by the firelight, was calm.
Samuel had thought Jon Zacks would be buried in the forest like a great army.
Unexpectedly, he was forcibly rescued by Knight Commander Ak Price!
Nevertheless.
The final outcome was the same.
Jon Zacks and his Knight Commander Ah Ke perished in the forest and sea of fire.
To be sure, Samuel had deliberately used the Thrusting Sword Technique.
As long as the body remains intact, in the high heat of the forest fire, the chest wound would not be noticeable.
As for the Church Guards who saw him kill Jon Zacks and Ah Ke...
Samuel had no worries at all.
The Church’s rules had trained them into a group of devoted zealots.
Otherwise.
They wouldn’t be Bishop Semo’s personal guards.
Withdrawing the knight’s longsword in his right hand, Samuel strode towards his warhorse.
This Fire of Lorraine would not extinguish before dawn.
It might even burn for days and nights!
Nimbly mounting his horse, Samuel addressed the guards.
"Continue guarding and scouting, no one is to leave without my orders!"
The guards responded uniformly once again.
"Yes."
Samuel pulled the reins with both hands, turning the warhorse around.
Yah~
Samuel made a sound to spur the horse, driving it towards the distant Kakasong City.
In a patch of farmland in the distance.
Earl and Dorian concealed within a field of barley stalks.
The two exchanged a heavy look after witnessing the events ahead.
Neither had ever imagined.
That someone could actually make it out from the raging inferno of flames!
Just as Dorian had advised him.
The forest fire would attract troops from Kakasong City!
What surprised them was.
What they awaited was not a rescue team for Jon Zacks.
But rather Church Guard Cavalry coming to finish them off!
No matter the Church Guard Cavalry’s intention.
Slaughtering the escaping Jon Zacks.
Was a good thing for them and Lord Master Lynn!
However, Earl knew in his heart.
He must return to Morgan Town quickly and report everything he saw to Master Lynn!
