The Monks are stationed in the Maikana Mountains. [No pop-ups.]

This vast area is now at the forefront of the battle between the Monks and the Council of the Dead, where hundreds of thriving towns were once located, but more than fifty were in ruins during the tug-of-war, where thieves, necromancers, and dark swordsmen haunted the area, and every few days the bodies of priests and prayer masters were dragged out of the dilapidated houses by the corpse rangers and burned on the spot.

Since the death of Brother Maihadi, just a few paladin captains and priests are leading their subordinates in various places to barely maintain the battle situation here, but there is no unified command and dispatch between them, basically fighting in various places, with firm faith and sharpness, fighting desperately with the Council of the Dead.

However, in the face of the clever strategy of the Council of the Dead, they have been gradually forced to retreat to the periphery after killing a large number of clergy.

However, at this time, there seemed to be something going on within the Council of the Dead, and several important strongholds were lost one after another, causing the clergy to be ecstatic, and under the pursuit of victory, everyone in the other family unknowingly entered the town of Nighthawk Town, but they were suddenly attacked by the elite team of the Council of the Dead, and it was only at this time that they found themselves in a trap.

The presiding officer of the Council of the Dead was very clever, and he did not want to eat these people in one bite, but instead cut and split the clergy into different areas that had been prepared for a long time, and then slowly dealt with them one by one.

In a farmer's house, the unfamiliar priest Evelyn tried to rush out several times but was stopped by a dark swordsman who had a fifteen-member Templar squad, but was either killed or separated in the constant fighting, leaving her and another companion to flee here.

And just now, the sound of fierce fighting around him seems to be getting quieter and quieter, and the surroundings are getting quieter and quieter, and Priest Evelyn understands it very well. Soon he will be the next target here, and this is just the calm before the storm.

Her breathing was a little short, not only nervous, but also because she had consumed a lot of physical strength from the retreat just now. She sighed and said, "Alfred Paladin." This time we are afraid that we will return to the arms of the Lord.

Beside her lay a wounded paladin. The man in his thirties had wise eyes and a whisker on his lips. The whole person seemed extremely shrewd and unrestrained, and he pursed his lips very carelessly, showed a charming smile, and said, "To be able to die with a beautiful woman like Priest Evelyn is a beautiful thing that I usually only encounter in dreams. ”

Normally, Priest Evelyn always felt that this paladin's demeanor was frivolous and slippery, not like a real clergyman, but at the moment of life and death, she felt that these words were full of intimacy, and her lips moved. Just wanted to say something, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pool of blood flowing out under the other party's body, she exclaimed and said, "Your injury is very serious!"

Alfred grabbed the hand she stretched out to try to release the magic spell, and gasped: "Don't waste your physical strength anymore, keep your strength, hold on until dawn, you still have a chance to escape." ”

Priest Evelyn was stunned, she shook her head and said, "No......"

"Be careful!"

The paladin suddenly rolled over and crushed Evelyn underneath him. The light of the Sacred Seal reappeared. With a "boom", a wave of black earth qi pierced a hole in the thick wall. In the flying rubble, there was not the slightest sign of the enemy.

Evelyn lifted Alveret up, but as soon as she touched the other party's skin, she found that the other party's body was unusually cold, as if life was slowly passing away, and the latter's back had a shocking wound, extending from the shoulder to the back of the waist, almost cutting the back, and the armor and the rolled flesh were mixed together, not distinguishing from each other.

Evelyn hurriedly said, "Your ground injuries are very serious, and you must be treated immediately!"

But before she raised her staff, the dying Alfred suddenly opened his eyes, and stabbed the sword in his hand into an empty place, and with a "bang", a dagger was placed there, and as soon as the thief's figure appeared, he immediately withdrew from the house, and quickly melted into the night, leaving only a series of bloody footprints on the ground.

As soon as Alfrede's feet went limp, he fell backwards, and the priest Evelyn hurriedly grabbed his body, and the former spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and said, "Phew, hidden scrolls, these guys can afford to spend a lot of money." ”

"Stop talking," Priest Evelyn said as she looked at her pale companion, knowing that if she didn't heal in a hurry, her otherwise powerful body would soon turn into a cold corpse.

She raised her scepter again, but her face suddenly changed, and with a "bang", the magic crystal on the staff was shattered by a wave of air that rushed from nowhere, and she turned her eyes to look out of the house, but there was still no trace of the enemy there.

"Don't bother, they'll keep harassing you, so let me die quietly," Alfred grinned.

Evelyn became anxious, the situation was extremely tense, the blood under Alfred's body was flowing more and more, she had already recalled, if it wasn't for saving her just now, as a paladin, the other party would not have been so seriously injured, for a while, her heart was full of apology and sadness, she choked up: "You are injured for me, I will not let you die." ”

"Whoever said that, you must be wrong," said Alfret, looking at her a little warily, "don't be sentimental, I don't really like you at all." ”

Evelyn looked at him in a daze, stroked his forehead, and said softly, "Tell me, what else did you see in your dream?"

The Alfred Paladin coughed a few times, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and said intermittently, "I tell you, I, I saw the God of Light, but, he forgot to inform me...... Today will take me to heaven. ”

"You're not going to die. As soon as Priest Evelyn took Alfred's hand and looked at the latter with a determined expression, a white glow blooming from his body, and the darkness and gloom around him receded into the night. She is like a candle burning her own life.

The Alfred Paladin sighed secretly, he shook his head, and said, "Fool, you will only kill yourself by doing this. ”

"I do. I can't watch you die!" Priest Evelyn's eyes were red, but anyone could tell her determination in that expression.

Alfred smiled wryly. muttered, "Woman, ......"

Several pieces of masonry behind him were kicked to the side. Then there was a cold footstep that Evelyn could tell. This is the dark swordsman who blocked her, and she can't stop when she unleashes the magic now, she can feel that person getting closer and closer to her, and the shadow of the sword behind her is gathering higher and higher, she closed her eyes and poured out the light element of her body, and her face couldn't help but have a touch of desolation.

To die, to die together.

"Boom!"

There was a loud explosion that made the entire dilapidated house tremble. It seems like it's going to collapse.

A few drops of blood splattered into Evelyn's white neck, hot, full of life, and at this moment, the light flickered, and her earth magic was finished, finally pulling Alfred back from the line of death.

She hurriedly looked back and saw that the dark swordsman was lying on the ground, but now she could only distinguish the identity of the other party from his clothes, and his body was still alive a moment ago. Now the skull has been blown open entirely. Only a corpse with twitching hands and feet remained.

Armor and footsteps rang out again.

She couldn't help but tense up again, clutching the scepter tightly in her hand. But there was a burst of weakness in her body, which made her dangerously unable to stand, and she was about to grit her teeth and make a final fight, when the figure flashed, but she didn't expect that it was a priest who walked in from the outside, and she was followed by two fully armored paladins.

"Is it Priest Evelyn?" the priest asked.

Evelyn's expression finally relaxed, but she didn't let her guard down, she held her staff to her chest and said, "It's me, you are?"

The priest nodded and said, "Your mission is complete, so leave the matter to us." ”

Evelyn asked excitedly, "Could it be that reinforcements from the Holy See have arrived?"

The priest said, "Sort of." ”

"How many of you are here?" asked Evelyn hurriedly.

"A squad of paladins. The priest said without concealment: "About fifteen people." ”

Evelyn had a look of obvious disappointment on her face,

The priest in the monk's robe smiled and said, "This is just the advance force. ”

Evelyn shook his head and said, "But you don't know, the enemy here is very strong, and after the fall of Brother Mehdi, no one can save the situation." ”

The priest's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but at this time, a black-robed man wearing a hood walked in from outside, and beside this person, a young servant followed, but this person's body also diffused strong earth fire element fluctuations.

The priest immediately closed his mouth and bowed along with the two paladins.

Evelyn was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this person had a high status, and there was an indescribable majesty on his body, could it be a priest?

She was guessing, but the black-robed man asked, "Priest, how many clergy are there in Nighthawk Town?"

This person's voice was very young, Evelyn was a little strange, it seemed that there was no such young priest in the Holy See, but she thought about it, and still replied: "When I retreated in, there were still more than a hundred people left, but now ......" She shook her head, a touch of sadness appeared on her face, and then she seemed to think of something, and said eagerly: "This lord get out of here quickly, it's dangerous here." ”

"It's okay, it's going to be over soon. The black-robed man said lightly.

Looking at the other party who didn't seem to care, and didn't take his words to heart at all, thinking of those fallen companions, Evelyn felt a surge of anger and excitement in her heart for no reason, and she said with some anger, "Did you say it's over? Who do you think you are? How can you understand the horror of the Council of the Dead?"

The priest next to him saw Evelyn scolding the black-robed man like this, his face turned white with fright, and he immediately scolded angrily: "Shut up, do you know who this adult is?"

The black-robed man waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and glanced Evelyn up and down, then nodded, "I can understand this priest's feelings, but words can't solve the problem now." He waved his hand and said, "Blow the horn." Let everyone lean in. ”

"Yes, my lord!" a paladin did not hesitate to remove a silver-white horn from his back.

"Emblem?" Evelyn was taken aback, this was an item that only clergy of the Holy See with extremely high status could have, it was a symbol of status. Those who hold the emblem are all famous in the Holy See. But to her bewilderment, it was. I don't seem to have ever seen or knew such a person.

A melodious trumpet was passed through the town. But the first thing to alarm was the two men in black who were in a remote corner of Nighthawk Town at the moment.

"Bishop's emblem?" said one of the old men in surprise.

The other middle-aged swordsman was also surprised to be dressed as a local man, and he frowned, "Can you tell which bishop of the Order is it?"

"This is the emblem of the bishop of the region, which has never appeared, but judging from the scale, this person has a very high status on the earth," the old man said in a deep voice, "According to the information we have, the Holy See will indeed send a chief monk over in the next two days. But then I heard that Mogo Watts and Dean Lance were both at the station and didn't leave, so who could it be?"

The middle-aged swordsman whispered to himself, "Bishop level ......"

The two suddenly looked up at each other and blurted out, "Could it be him?"

"That's right," the old man nodded, "It should be Landiston, Bishop of Bethlehem, hey, the Holy See has really invested a lot of money this time, and even this dragon slayer has been sent." ”

"If it's him......" The middle-aged swordsman hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to do it?"

The old man shook his head. "Could it be that the name of the dragon slayer is called in vain? You've learned his horror too, if it weren't for Lord Shaloman's own action. Coupled with the careful arrangement, it is difficult to say the ending later. He smiled coldly and said, "With such fanfare, it is clear that they are not afraid of our attack, they must have been properly arranged, and besides, a bishop will definitely not bring only a few people like Mehadi." ”

The middle-aged swordsman nodded, agreeing,

"Landiston is not something we can fight against, at least, now that the Holy See is in high spirits, we don't have a chance tonight, go back and tell Lord Shaloman to discuss it again. ”

"So what now?"

The old man said categorically: "Retreat!"

Evelyn suspected that she had misheard, for it was clearly the bishop's insignia, but she remembered desperately, and could not remember that there was such a young landfall in the Holy See, and she came to the priest and said, "Can you tell me the identity of this lord?"

The priest glanced at the black-robed man, and then said in a low voice, "This is the chief monk, Lord Lundy Lantiston, Bishop of the Diocese of Bethlehem. ”

Priest Evelyn was stunned for a moment, then lost his voice, "Is that the dragon slayer?"

The wound on the paladin of Alfred had just healed, and he was stunned when he heard Evelyn's words, and he turned his eyes to the bishop in his mouth, and there was a trace of inexplicable excitement in his heart.

At this time, the clergy of the whole town heard the horn of the Holy Emblem, which indicated that someone above the rank of bishop had come here, and it was the call of the summoning, and all the paladins, priests, and prayer teachers were all in high spirits, and after the death of Brother Mehdi, they had never heard such a sound again, and for a while, the clergy all converged on the source of the sound, and the enemies who fought against them seemed to have disappeared inexplicably under the sound of this horn.

At this time, standing in the middle of the field, Luo Lan waved his hand to the small bone on the side and said, "Clean up here." ”

Xiao Gu stretched out his hand, and a large fireball exploded on the ground with a bang, and the raging flames reflected a patch of light around him. And casually carve out an open area around it.

Priest Evelyn sighed secretly in her heart, this would only attract more and more members of the Council of the Dead, she couldn't help but glance at Luo Lan, only to find that the latter was calm and composed, only a trace of pursed lips appeared under the hood, and his face could not be seen clearly at all.

But to her surprise, after a few moments, no one from the Council of the Dead appeared, as if the place where the bishop of Bethlehem was standing was the safest place,

On the contrary, more and more clergy gathered here smoothly, and in a short time, Luo Lan gathered a total of more than sixty clergymen who ran from all directions, almost all of them were injured, but when they learned the identity of the comer, their faces showed excitement and excitement.

As a dragon slayer, Luo Lan also recovered the Holy Land from the barbarians in the remote and wild Bethlehem alone, repelled hundreds of thousands of orc armies, and established the largest diocese on the continent today, it can be said that he is the true ruler of the entire Eastern Continent, and in the hearts of the young clergy, this equally young bishop has become a legend, an idol they aspire to and worship.

One by one, they knelt respectfully and saluted.

"Andres, the captain of the Fifth Squad, has met Bishop Landiston. ”

"Aldrich, the captain of the eighth squad paladin, has met the Bishop. ”

"Agamemnon, the mid-ranking priest of the clergy, has seen the monk elder.

At this time, a paladin who had originally arrived with Luo Lan had just gone out for a spin, and at this moment he turned around, and he said in a slightly trembling voice: "Report to your lordship, all the members of the Council of the Dead in Nighthawk Town have retreated. Evelyn was dumbfounded, this elder monk just stood here, blew the horn, and all the members of the Council of the Dead actually retreated without a fight, this, how could this be? Unconsciously, there was already a trace of awe in her eyes when she looked at Luo Lan.

There was a burst of cheers around them, after the death of Brother Mehdi, these clergy really needed a strong figure to support the overall situation.

In the white sky, the darkness is gradually fading, and the dawn has arrived.
