The sudden outbreak outside the city has further highlighted the criticality of the situation.

Originally, the Hashas leadership only speculated that there would be a witch's companion to rescue her, but now it has become a bloody reality.

In just one night, more than a dozen towns were infected with the plague.

The ferocity of these diseases, the ferocity of the infection, simply made the upper echelons of the empire change their faces.

Ordinary medical officers are helpless against the ferocious epidemic, and even they themselves cannot be guaranteed to be infected with these diseases. The only effective way to get rid of the plague spores is the Holy Light Healing of the Paladins.

However, with a divine technique of this level of Holy Light Healing, even those Rank 1 Black Iron Knights could only cast it five times a day, even if they tried their best. And a large number of apprentice knights, after casting it once, will exhaust all their holy power.

Faced with such a situation, the high-level of Haysas can only send paladins from the periphery to the villages and towns where the epidemic is fierce to selectively rescue the villagers with the most obvious symptoms and the most violent attacks. But how could a sporadic water source save a prairie fire?

In just one day, the number of people infected with the plague had risen rapidly from 1,000 to 10,000, and there were signs of spreading to Haysas City.

This completely frightened the high-level of Haysas City!

You must know that at this moment, in addition to the deep-rooted and powerful Paladin Group, there are also a large number of powerful aristocratic classes with intertwined relationships. Although these nobles usually rely heavily on and rely on the power of the paladins to maintain their rule, when they themselves are also facing the threat of the plague, they can't help but have some voices that are inconsistent with the paladins.

Many of the nobles living in the city of Hyshas pleaded that the gates of the city be sealed and that those infected with the disease should not be allowed to enter the city. The mid- and low-ranking paladins hope that the city of Hyshas will be able to accept more refugees and bless them under the glory of the Great Light.

For the first time, there was a serious conflict of ideas between the nobles and the paladins who usually cooperate with each other, and even a small 'misunderstanding' broke out near the gate of Hyshas!

For a time, the city of Haysas was in chaos, and even the Chapel of the Holy Light was besieged by low-ranking nobles.

After some behind-the-scenes deals and negotiations, the Haysas nobles reluctantly agreed to open the city to refugees from all directions. The Chapel of Light has also sent a certain number of paladins to the noble district to ensure that the plague does not spread to the area.

As a result, Grim was also fortunate to become the personal bodyguard of some big nobles vying for wooing!

In addition to all this distraction, the Chapel of Light also stepped up its time to torture the captured witch.

From her mouth, the Chapel of Light quickly obtained detailed information and information about the other two wizards, and sent a large group of Black Iron Knights to search for and capture possible wizard remnants in nearby villages and towns.

Of course, in view of that Order-3 Fire Witch's terrible record, the Chapel of Light also sent two Order-3 Golden Knights to lead a large number of Order-2 Silver Knights to various places. In this way, if a wizard is found in a certain place, they can also be strangled nearby.

And in this way, invisibly, it also divides the powerful power gathered by the Holy Light Chapel!

However, the conspiracy arranged by Grim is apparently 'the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond', and actually forced out another deceitful witch who is very hidden.

It can be seen that the third-order deceptive witch named Itarel has also lurked in the suburbs of Hyshas City, and seems to have the same intentions as Grim. Unfortunately, due to mutual distrust, she obviously couldn't contact Grim in time.

As a result, during the plague offensive launched by Grim, a large number of Black Iron Knights and local village guards unexpectedly found this Itariel.

The two sides fought in a place called Redwood Village, and the third-order Itarel showed his might, frantically killing the paladin squad and nearly 100 villagers of Redwood Village.

This time it's a hornet's nest!

The paladins who were already holding back a nameless fire gathered around Redwood Village, and even the two Golden Knights who were out to sit there quickly rushed there.

I have to say that there is no weak person who can become a third-order witch, not to mention that Itarel is also a well-known tower master among the deceitful witches. Rena pulled her here this time to use her powerful force, but unfortunately, they were directly dispersed during the crossing. Otherwise, with Itariel's protection, Rena would not have ended up in such a miserable end.

How could such a powerful witch be forced back by a group of natives!

So, around the city of Hysas, the Itariel witch played guerrilla warfare with a horde of hordes of paladins. With the Witch of Deception's transfiguration and ability to lie, Itarel resembles an elusive ghost, appearing in a completely different form each time.

And she deliberately avoided the two Golden Knights, and targeted the Silver and Black Iron Knights. Therefore, in the three-day 'cat and mouse game', she single-handedly killed dozens of paladins above the first rank.

Under the pressure of reality, the Chapel of Light in Haysas City had to send another Golden Knight to participate in the encirclement of witches.

Three-on-one, the paladins finally seized a golden opportunity to enclose this Itariel in a place called Haifeng. There are thousands of people there, and Itariel uses Transfiguration to hide in it, which also makes it more difficult for the paladins to encircle and suppress.

And after five days of hiding in Hayshas City, Grim finally waited for a perfect opportunity to make a move.

The Chapel of Light is only guarded by two Golden Knights.

The witch Rena was imprisoned in a secret confessional chamber in the chapel, guarded by a Tier 3 Golden Knight named Kennett. As for those witchcraft materials, according to Grim's investigation and analysis during this time, there is a good chance that they are in the hands of another paladin commander named Lambert.

And he's also a Tier 3 Golden Knight!

Two Golden Knights, one to guard the witch and one to keep the materials, this division of labor is in line with the effect of risk sharing. Therefore, Grim did not hesitate to start the long-planned raid plan!

…………

It's night.

Inside the city of Haysas.

In a luxurious room in the aristocratic district west of the city, Grim pushed open the wooden window.

The night was low in the sky, the stars were dim, and there was a faint trace of blood in the moonlight projected.

Knock knock.

A soft knock sounded at the door.

"Lord Jedrick, it's time for dinner!" the maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Tell your master that I'm going to pray for the Light all night tonight, skip supper, and don't let anyone come in and disturb me!" replied Grim sternly.

"Yes!"

With the sound of soft footsteps, silence returned to the door.

Grim raised his head, looked at the blood-colored night sky, stretched out a finger, and slowly began to condense the fire element in the air.

The bright red fire element was detached from the colorless and transparent void and gathered at Grim's fingertips, making the small section at the forefront hotter and brighter, with a tendency to burst out.

And at this moment, an invisible and tangible strange power appeared in the void above Grim's head, and began to slowly reach towards his location.

Holy Barrier!

The fire elementals in Grim's fingertips had converged to a limit threshold, and with just a little more, they would instantly burst into a cluster of true elemental flames. At that time, this sacred barrier that shrouded the entire city of Hyshas would also be triggered, thus attracting the attention of the paladins of the Chapel of Light.

It has to be said that although the paladins of the Envik plane follow the path of faith, the magic power they have is only a single holy light. However, thousands of years of continuous immersion in it have also allowed them to explore some completely alternative ways to use the Holy Light.

For example, the Sacred Barrier that envelops the entire city of Hysas in front of you is one of them!

Using the sensitivity and exclusivity of the Light, Haysas held up a vast divine barrier. Within this enchantment, any active or passive condensation of magical elements will trigger an enchantment counter. Fortunately, Grim only condensed the fire element on a small scale, and did not let it turn into real fire sorcery.

Otherwise, even if it's just some apprentice-level sorcery, it will trigger a counterattack from the Divine Enchantment.

This sacred enchantment, in addition to being able to monitor and sense changes in magical energy, can also create a single elemental environment inside. This is actually a trap left by the paladins for wizards.

Once a wizard is so powerful that they break into the city of Hashas, the paladins who preside over the sacred circle in the Chapel of Light will be able to turn the enchantment from implicit to explicit. At that time, the entire territory of Hyshas City will be forbidden from all magical elements other than the Holy Light.

And this, for the wizards of the other world who are under siege, I am afraid that it is extremely terrifying!

Therefore, in addition to listening to the news, Grim has been constantly testing the reaction and operation mechanism of this sacred barrier. After the chip sensed and probed the fluctuations of its power, the location of the divine circle had been basically determined.

And if Grim wants to break into the Chapel of Light, he must first break this sacred barrier.

Otherwise, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing as fighting two Rank 3 Golden Knights under the suppression of the Divine Enchantment.

Grim cleared his mind in the blood-colored moonlight, and once again revisited the entire battle plan in his mind to make sure that there were no mistakes, and then gave the order to attack somewhere in the distance.

Although the Divine Barrier is very sensitive to the elements of magic, it is clear that it cannot block the secret connection between souls.

So, under the command of Grim, the plague spirit Remy, who had been lurking outside the city of Hyshas, finally made a move!
