A group of knights marched in the cold wind.

They wore white cloaks embroidered with a huge white eagle holding the hilt of a sword, and the knights on the horses were all dusty, but the formation that was casually maintained in the silent march showed their elite.

The wind suddenly turned, and the knight in front raised his head, his ears moved, and he raised his right gloved hand, and the knights behind him pulled the reins of their horses and quickly stopped.

The leader actually turned around and said something, and galloped out of the group on a fast horse, and galloped forward quickly.

The wind is getting stronger, and a white cloak returns in the wind, bringing news ahead:

"Captain Eugene, it is the demons who have surrounded a village, ordinary demons, about three hundred."

Eugene was not surprised, his resolute eyebrows moved, and his gaze swept over the subordinates behind him.

It had been nearly five days since they entered the Red River Plateau, and the remaining 250 soldiers of the 300 knights were divided into three routes, except for the fifty who remained in Xiling Town, and the one he led was the least numerous, only fifty, but it was the most elite Templar.

Due to their small numbers, although they killed many demons and saved some people along the way, they did not have in-depth contact with people, and most people thought that they were just elite private soldiers privately raised by a noble lord, and no one associated them with the Knights Templar in the Holy Mountain.

In fact, the subordinates did not know about Eugene's secret mission, only that Eugene was going to find a boy under the age of ten, and their pious faith made them know nothing about the future, and even if death greeted them, they would not hesitate at all.

"Team 135 will work with me to help the trapped village," Eugene ordered in a deep voice, "The rest of the people are led by Arnold, searching for any fish that have slipped through the net nearby, and they encounter a large number of demons sending warnings. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The knights answered in a neat voice.

Their horsemanship could no longer be described as skillful, but they had grown almost with the horses, and the thirty knights in the spot were lightly clamped in the belly of the horses, and the horses' heads were deflected, and they rode out of the gap between the horses that almost touched each other, and followed closely behind Eugene's speeding horses, and galloped towards the besieged village.

The sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, and the village surrounded by demons had clearly appeared in sight, and the wind carried a strong smell of blood.

The village was quite remote, and it had not been long since the demons had discovered it, but in the short time that the outpost had returned, the defense line consisting of the rudimentary wooden fence and the hunters in the village had been in danger, and the demons were trying to break through the wall.

A daring Orion pokes his head out of the wall, intending to shoot the demons who rush to the near wall.

The demon he was aiming at raised his hand to block, and the crude wolf tooth arrow was deeply inserted into the forearm.

The demon screamed wildly, broke the tail of the arrow that was exposed, and still pounced on it with a cruel smile, grabbed the Orion who had no time to retract, and pulled hard, and the Orion fell off the wall screaming.

The demon grabbed Orion's head and slammed it into the wooden wall!

The wooden wall shook violently, and a few short screams sounded behind him, and the surrounding demons cheered.

The demon was about to hit it a second time, a gust of wind hit his brain, he hurriedly lifted the Orion, and was about to turn around, when suddenly his head was light, he flew high, and his body that lost his head fell to the ground with a bang!

Eugene broke away from the big team and stabbed in, even the horses were thrown outside, and the whole person fell directly into the middle of a large group of demons, and a sword cut off the head of this demon, and he was surrounded by weapons swung by demons.

Being besieged on the battlefield is nothing to Eugene, even if he can't use his fighting spirit now, and there is a civilian at his feet who is uncertain about his life and death.

Raise your sword to hold four or five weapons, and insert your other hand into the flower-like blade bush, grab a demon, and use it as a shield wave, the two demons who bear the brunt of it flew out, and the rest of the demons had their eyes flowered, and they didn't know what was happening, and all the blades cut out were cut down on the captured demons.

The "shield" howled miserably, and in the blink of an eye, it was divided by the same clan, and all the common attacks on Eugene immediately collapsed.

"Commander, shield!"

A round shield swirled in, and the knights who were one step behind Eugene rushed in.

They were like a three-edged thorn inserted into the thickest part of the demons, thirty knights waved their long swords, and the snow-white reflection reflected a few times, and the villagers behind the wall had not yet understood where this group of knights who had fallen from the sky when thirty or forty demons fell, leaving a large area vacant.

The demons were stunned, and the knights slowed down the speed of their horses, and they turned a corner, left shield and right sword, and continued to swing the butcher knife.

Eugene caught the round shield, and his war horse Herod ran over, raising his huge hooves and trampling two demons to death on the way.

Eugene threw the hunter on the horse's back, hung the sword in the hook lock on the right side of the saddle, picked up the spear hanging on it, and swept the spear, and the two demons' chests were sunken and flew out, and the villagers who saw this scene through the gap in the wall exclaimed in suppression.

The villagers were not given a chance to fight, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the battle ended. None of the twenty-nine knights were killed or wounded, and only one knight had his cloak torn to prevent his horses from being torn.

There was silence behind the wooden fence for a moment, and a large group of villagers opened the door, moved away from the horses, and ran out as if in a dream.

As before, Eugene replenished the village for three days and left the village after being eagerly retained by the villagers.

The village is very small, only forty or fifty households, but boys under the age of ten are very rare, and only one, an orphan, has disappeared a few days ago because he secretly went out of the village in search of food.

As Eugene stays in small towns and villages, a piece of news spreads:

"The Holy See is about to send reinforcements, the Knights of the White Cross will take in war orphans, and if a boy under the age of ten is selected, his family will be taken away from the Holy Noche, and he will even have the opportunity to become a noble knight in the future."

Three days later, Eugene and his party had entered the central part of the Red River Plateau.

It's not that they're slow, it's that rescuing civilians and fighting demons along the way slows them down.

In addition, the Red River Plateau was the hardest hit by the meteor fall, and the changing landscape, the rush of beasts, and the growing number of abandoned and deserted villages also left them without supplies, forcing them to find their own food and delay their journeys - it could even be said that supplies were the most uncomfortable for the Templars, who were accustomed to having abundant logistical support, than in battle.

However, the more difficult conditions of the war were not uncommon, and the Templars did not get tired, but fought more frequently and more energetically.

Fighting the demons and saving the human race, they are walking on the path that the sages have walked.

“…… Strange, why is the frequency of encountering demons getting lower and lower in the past two days, is this my delusion? ”

"You're right, there are far fewer scattered demons encountered on the way than some time ago."

During the night's rest, the whispered conversation between the two Templars drifted into Eugene's ears.

The two knights were not the only ones who also felt it, Arnold, as the captain of the pro-soldiers, came to Eugene in person.

"Commander, something has been wrong in the past two days."

"Is it a matter of the reduction of demons?"

"Yes, not only is the number decreasing, but most of them are cannon fodder who are not even miscellaneous soldiers, worse than what they encountered in the eastern part of the plateau before, and the brothers feel that something is wrong."

Eugene nodded.

He had already discovered these anomalies.

But none of the demons encountered at the moment have a large-scale group, let alone a unified command, with rich combat experience in the past, Eugene's intuition problem is not on them, maybe something has changed on the front line.

It's a pity that he can't understand the demon language, otherwise he would have known what happened.

The demons are notorious, and Eugene has even seen the elite of the demon wolf soul warriors in the sky, and he knows that these demons who have appeared at present are just some advance cannon fodder, not even soldiers.

The Holy Noche Kingdom is too weak militarily, it is located in the rear, there has been no war since the Demon Plague, except for the knights directly under the royal family, they cannot be expected to organize a stronger resistance.

This is precisely the reason why the Holy See has decided to abandon this country - the time is too hasty, and by the time the great armies of the Holy Empire gather and rush to the border, the kingdom of the Holy Nuoche will not be far from falling, if not falling.

It's been less than a month now, and it's just some vanguard cannon fodder, and the demons are already about to run out of the Red River Plateau and enter the hinterland of the Holy Noche Kingdom.

Eugene was outraged by the tragic situation he had seen along the way, the people of the High God being reduced to food and toys for the demons, and the looming crisis.

"The cannon fodder has been almost dispatched, and I'm afraid I don't want to attack in a big way......"

***

“…… Thy kingdom come.

Let your ways walk on earth as you walk in heaven.

……

You are the creator of our people, and your holy flame ignites the blood of our people!

May you always shine on our people, just as we will always do your will!

……

We will set foot today in a landless land and annihilate the alien race you hate.

May your wrath be appeased with our blood, and chaos and slaughter will spread across the lands! ”

Thick red rays fell from the sky and fell into the middle of the altar.

On the sixteen pillars of fire around the altar, fierce flames swept upward, like a flaming sword that pierced into the sky.

The main priest, who was surrounded by a whole circle of sacrifices, opened his eyes, woke up from the communication with the demon god, and looked at the tens of thousands of demons below, his face was majestic and solemn, and he shouted:

"Our God has answered your prayers!"

"Warriors of our race, please our gods with your blood and slaughter, and let chaos and slaughter spread to every inch of the land of the human race!"

"Do not fear death, for the place where the fire shines is the kingdom of our God, and my God will open the gates of the kingdom of God to all those who believe in him."

Hundreds of thousands of demons cheered.

"Please my god with our blood!"

They shouted in a frenzy:

"-Kill!"

"-Kill!"

"-Kill!"

Batch after batch of demons walked into the space passage and disappeared.
