Strictly speaking, Cardinal St. John Louis is not the true leader of the Knights of the Holy Fire, and like Cardinal da Gama, both of them were specially appointed by His Majesty the Supreme Pope to participate in the operation, and are the real core figures of the Holy See of the Holy Light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As for the true leader of the Knights of the Holy Fire, Stace Debiunia, the fifth-order paladin chief with the title of "Flame Saintess", was carrying out his mission with a gloomy face at this time.

Although she is called the "Flame Saintess", in fact, Stacey is no longer a "Saintess", as early as more than twenty years ago, she has married into the Imperial Wealthy Duane family, and now she is a powerful countess with a noble status.

The Holy See of the Doctrine of Light will only ascetics and fanatics be completely abstinent, even from all desires and feelings, and as for the saints of the past generations, they will become very good marriage tools, arranged by the Holy See to marry those families or big people with high status or outstanding power.

Although it is no secret that the retired saint is a spy of the Holy See, and the strife between the empire and the Holy See has long been well known to everyone in the upper class, it is still a very special meaning to be able to marry a holy woman of the Divine Light into the family, and it can also be called a proud honor. And as long as the Empire and the Holy See do not officially turn their faces, then this glory and some of the privileges that come with it will be of extraordinary value in the eyes of many.

Stace Debyunia's situation is a bit peculiar, although she is the 751st Holy Maiden of the Light, but when she was young, she entered the Holy See and was chosen by the Holy Light to be a candidate for the Holy Maiden. is already the legal heir to a hereditary nobility and has an official viscount.

It is because of the dual status she has. Her dual status has led to her being relatively easily accepted by the Empire and the Holy See. It has become a demarcation point for the compromise between the two sides, so he can be the head of a legion with a very special status like the Knights of the Holy Fire, instead of being like other saints from civilian background, who are either under house arrest in the castle palace after marriage, as a living ornament, or often die inexplicably early or die in accidents. The Holy See never grants any shelter to a saint who has lost her value.

At this moment, however, Stace Debyunia's face was gloomy. Her hard work, the cornerstone of her glory and status. Her Knights of the Holy Fire were already in name only at this time. In the rainforest of the peninsula, there were unprecedented tragic casualties in just the attack on the Thousand Needles Canyon Blood Blade Peak, and then in the rainforest field battle with those chaotic races, although they had the upper hand with the help of balloon airships, one of the shortcomings of the all-flying force was also exposed, and those young masters and young ladies who usually regarded military orders and military discipline as nothing ignored the orders at all, and drove their respective airships to pursue the enemy wantonly, and some even regarded this war as a trip and hike, and walked wantonly. As a result, the miasma of the Abyss of Hell struck, and nearly half of the members of the Holy Fire Knights were eroded and demonized. Become an ugly monster that can be found everywhere in the labyrinth.

The high-ranking bishops and cardinals naturally did not care about such "small" losses, and with the cronies and cronies they brought with them, the overall combat strength did not drop much. From the very beginning, they also did not expect the combat effectiveness of the Knights of the Holy Fire. And as long as you can get that thing at the end. Such a great feat would easily cover up all the guilt and loss, and compared to the treasure of King Solomon, even a third of the military force of the Holy See would be worth it. What's more, these dead people are basically the future of the imperial aristocracy. Their deaths are not entirely bad for the Holy See either.

However, as the officially appointed legion leader of the Knights of the Holy Fire, Stace's guilt cannot be shirked like steel cast into iron. There will not even be a chance to explain the quibble. The slightest injury to these young masters and young ladies will cause a storm of parental accountability, and it will become a loss for the establishment like this. With not even a decent corpse being handed over to their clan, the Paladin Chief couldn't imagine what he would become when he returned......

"Perhaps, my only chance is to get that thing in my hands, not Archbishop St. John Louis, not Cardinal da Gama, but me, the chief paladin Stacese Debyeunia, to get the abyssal contract, and when the time comes, not only will I not be punished in any way, but I am afraid that even the Pope will personally reward me...... No...... Maybe...... I have another option...... The Abyss Contract is a god destroying tool created by the twelve magic emperors and beasts, if I have it, do I need to be afraid of anything......"

He took a few deep breaths and dispelled the sudden sinful desire in his heart, but the Paladin, who had once been a saint, did not pray to the great Lord of Light to forgive him for his sins.

"This must be because of the reaction after being eroded by the abyssal aura...... "The Paladin Chief comforted himself, but his gaze involuntarily swept to a legion chariot in front of him.

The Legion Chariot is a powerful weapon on the battlefield, and has been the invincible king of land warfare until the appearance of the Dwarven Steam Tank of the Duchy of Cool Bear. This spar-powered steel monster is similar in appearance to a heavily armored wagon, but it is indestructible and powerful, and the supercharged magic-powered Legion Chariot can easily crush any formation and defensive line, while opening a magic shield with a radius of fifteen meters and a defense comparable to that of a fifth-order Earth Walking Dragon, protecting the important personnel or warriors in the shield from any damage.

However, there is one, and the only shortcoming, that is, its high cost, and the manufacturing process that can be called the difficulty of changing the shape, there are no more than five large-scale magic workshops in the entire continent that have the ability to produce legion chariots and hardware equipment, no more than twenty grandmaster-level craftsmen who know the complete production process, and only three great mages who can engrave the relevant magic arrays. Even the infinite Church of Light has not had more than double digits in the total number of legion vehicles, which is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation. The Dwarven Steam Tank, which has the same function as the Legion Tank and is far inferior in all aspects, has at least more than 700 of them in the Cool Bear Principality. And this number continues to increase at a rate of one every three days.

On this legionary chariot, which can be called one of the killer weapons of the Holy See, a thick wooden pillar is erected. A young girl in a white dress and a white dress was tied to the wooden pillar, and she looked closely. This girl was actually wearing a golden thread-trimmed holy pattern radiant robe, and in the entire Holy Light Sect, there were only three female priests who were qualified to wear this kind of holy white robe, and there were only three active saints in the entire Holy See.

In the minds of some low-level believers, the glorious saint who symbolizes purity and salvation is even above the high but unattainable Pope, and is the most precious treasure bestowed by the Lord of Light on earth. But at this moment, this active saint is like the dirtiest witch, and she is humiliated and tied to a wooden frame. Covered in blood and mud. However, what is even more terrifying and cruel is that there are hollow silver tubes with the thickness of a finger inserted in many parts of her body, although the positions inserted are not fatal, but they are all places where blood vessels converge. The blood of the Holy Maiden poured out of these silver pipes and spilled into the specially placed metal iron plates on the roof of the chariot.

With such a terrifying amount of bleeding, even a strong man with a strong body would lose too much blood and die in a matter of minutes, but a dozen high-ranking priests surrounded the legion's chariot and took turns casting a holy light healing spell on the saint every half a minute to replenish her vitality. Sustaining the life of the Holy Maiden...... as well as pain. This method of torture is comparable to the most cruel and perverted torture, but what is even more incredible is that the blood of the saint is sprinkled on the metal iron plate, and instantly turns into a red glow and vanishes. Then the iron plate slowly lit up with one crimson pattern after another. If you look closely, there are already a lot of patterns like this, and they are all gathered into one map. It looks like the maze map that the elven girl Luna Moon Shadow had drawn before. However, the agile map can only draw the area that she has personally trodden, but the maze map drawn by the saint with blood is the same. But it has already covered most of the labyrinth area, and there is even a golden vein in it. Straight leads to the most central area of the labyrinth.

The holy woman tied to the wooden frame suddenly groaned, her voice was so weak, almost much lighter than the breathing of ordinary people, but this soft sound still attracted the attention of Stace, the head of the Holy Fire Knights, she looked at the girl on the wooden frame, her eyes showed a slight unbearable color, and said softly: "Christina...... Don't hate us, but if you do, hate the filthy and wicked blood that flows through you. In fact, you should feel lucky, if your filthy bloodline can help us get out of this labyrinth, or even find the evil weapon that must be destroyed or sealed, then your sins will definitely be cleansed away, and maybe your soul will finally be forgiven by the Lord of Light. ”

After hearing these words, the miserable Holy Maiden, her body suddenly twitched slightly, and then she raised her head with all her might, slowly opened her eyes, and said softly, "Please...... Please...... Stace's Mentor ...... Please...... Let...... Please tutor you...... Spare my ...... Kid ......"

If Goron had been here, he would have had a very special expression when he saw the face of this holy woman, and he might have been angry, or he might have grieved, or he might have gone berserk, or he might have wept bitterly...... This woman has such a powerful shock to Goron, because she is the culprit who changed Golon's life, because she is the one who led the terrible "fairy tale" to the rainforest and into the village of the black hand, the girl who was released by Goron and reciprocated with the fire of hatred, the maiden priest Christina.

"Don't be stupid! Christina! You don't have any children! You're a holy virgin! Those memories of having children are all illusions, hallucinations! It's me! It's me who brought you back to reality! It's me who can still be a pure and noble saint with a fatal stain! You can't forget these things even if you die!"

The chief knight was breathing rapidly, and "children" was obviously a very taboo subject for her, and Christina, who was extremely weak, had lowered her head again, as if she was asleep, as if she was dead. However, at this moment, a young knight suddenly ran over and said to the knight chief quite excitedly: "My lord, the second seal, King Solomon's family demon, the soul crystal of the King of the Void Krusukazan, has been found!"

The paladin chief had no time to care about anything else, and hurriedly replied, "Then what are you waiting for! Why don't you summon that filthy demon quickly, and then kill it! Only by finding and destroying all those damned family demons can we get out of this damn labyrinth!" )
