The royal city of Gilneth is divided into four districts.

the royal palace area where the royal family and the great nobles lived; The military district where the Janissaries were stationed, as well as the Merchants' Square and the church district, where civilians lived. The four districts, built around the central Basilica of the Dawn of the Holy Light, surrounded by flowing water from the moat and connected by bridges, are excellently planned.

Oryx is heading to the church district, located directly north of the palace district.

Walking on the road, he flipped through the previous task of the Codex of Time to check.

Although Liam is next to him, outsiders can't see the contents of the Time Codex, and no matter how you look at it, you will find that it is just a holy contract full of messy notes - unlike the kind of holy deeds held by the early paladins that can amplify divine spells, it is just a simple sacred spell experience.

[Side Quest]: Changes in History: Save Greymane, Save Gilne!

[Reward]: 150 Time Energy.

Oryx was very emotional.

Seeing that the crisis in Gilneth was about to be resolved, he obviously didn't do anything, at most he helped with a plan on strategic issues.

Could it be that you picked up 150 points of time energy for nothing?

At this thought, he frowned.

With the urine nature of the Book of Time, the mission reward of 1 point of time energy would be eager to make him die eight times, let alone 150 points.

The task ......

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

After figuring it out, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but stop.

Whether it's a premonition or a revelation.

This thing is mysterious and mysterious, and he can't say it clearly.

But he knew that if he had only made his understanding of the direction of history known to the public in the name of prophecy, now he had truly entered the vision of the Holy Light and been illuminated by the Light because the path repeatedly coincided with the will of the Light.

Especially after cultivating [Velon's Divine Spell Experience], he began to be able to keenly discern the authenticity of his premonitions.

He didn't doubt his hunch at this time.

"Saint, why don't you leave?"

Oryx turned to Prince Liam and said with a solemn expression: "Your Royal Highness, it is very likely that there are members of the Cursed Sect hidden among us, and your father is in danger. ”

"What?" Liam was shocked.

"Don't panic, pretend to be nothing, and go to my adjutant Bridget, and ask her to join me with my men...... Don't rally your Royal Guard, there may be traitors in it, and they will scare the snakes. ”

"This ......" Liam seemed convinced of his words, hesitating whether to assemble the Royal Guard.

"Don't worry, the enemy must not be outnumbered, but they have infiltrated key positions," Orix said. When we gather our forces with great fanfare, we will surprise the enemy, causing the enemy to attack in advance, and putting your father in danger. Anyway, please hurry up! Remember to pretend that nothing happened. ”

Liam glanced apprehensively at the church district, nodded heavily, and walked briskly to the way he came.

The bridge connecting the palace area to the outside world was extravagant, with a wide deck large enough for five large horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side. At this time, a large amount of debris was piled up at both ends of the bridge as a barricade, and the bloodstained corpses were hastily piled aside by the walking corpses killed earlier, and they had not had time to deal with them.

The weary guards leaned against the guardrail, some of them even standing on the verge of falling asleep, only to open their eyes when the cannon of the wall rang out, and then continued to nod.

Standing at the highest point of the bridge and looking north, you can see the small half of the church area at a glance.

Relatively low-rise houses are lined up one after another, and the streets are like veins of flesh and blood...... Affluent commoners would live here and in the Merchants' Square. At the time of the outbreak, these two districts were also the hardest hit.

The blood-red water of dead bodies flowed under his feet.

Inside, however, Oryx could smell a hint of intrigue.

This is similar to the tragedy that happened in the palace of Lordaeron in the past.

Infiltration, the head of a country is assassinated......

On the one hand, the strength of the core members of the Cursed Sect is strong, but more importantly, in this era, except for the mages of Dalaran, almost no one understands the knowledge of the necromantic realm, and lacks sufficient ability to deal with enemies who are well versed in this way, so it is inevitable that they will be unavoidable.

Even the palace of Lordaeron has been successfully infiltrated by the Cursed Sect, let alone Gilneth, who is superior in every way.

After a while, Liam went and returned, and brought fifty paladins under Orix, and the acting skills were also very good, and he said to Orix at a distance: "I didn't think about it before, and these heroes deserve to be rewarded by my father." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is serious, this is what we should do." Oryx was tacitly humble.

Then the group pretended to be casual and walked into the church area.

As it is the hardest-hit city, there are fierce battles in the past few days, and the scene in the church district is even more miserable than in the palace area.

The streets are littered with corpses. Soldiers were piling up the bodies of the resurrected, dousing them with fire oil and setting them on fire.

Columns of smoke shot into the sky, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell, a mixture of blood, rotting flesh, and burnt corpses, all of which were even spicy to the eye.

Liam questioned some of the officers, and eventually led the group to the entrance to the Basilica of the Dawn of Light.

"Where's my father?" Liam asked the royal guard standing guard at the door.

The royal guard didn't answer immediately, but looked at Aurex and the paladins who were following him, seemed to realize something, turned around and let out a strange laugh, and said, "It's in the church." But you're late, dear prince, your father is already ......."

Bang!

In response, it was a punch from Oryx.

Blocked all the words behind him, and the huge force even left a fist mark on the tough breastplate. Blood mixed with a trail of gray energy flowed from under the royal guard's visor.

He knelt down slowly, obviously dying, but still laughing, "Master...... The master will give me a new body...... I...... and eternal life ......"

"Your Royal Highness, we have been exposed. However, it seems that it has just been exposed, and it is still too late to organize troops and prepare for a strong attack. ”

With a gloomy face, Oryx buckled his armor and summoned [Replica Solarion] and strode towards the church.

There was no need to give too many orders, and the fifty paladins who had already had a tacit understanding with him drew their weapons and followed.

"Don't dwell on whether your father will be held hostage and used as a tool to coerce you and Gilneis...... If he is really subdued by the Cursed Sect, the difference between dead and undead is not much. Even death is a relief. ”

Liam gritted his teeth and looked back to find that the soldiers at the bottom of the stairs were stunned by what had just happened - what had happened to the saint with a single punch to kill a royal guard?

"You, you, and you, take your weapons and come with me! Others, go to your commander at once, inform all the troops here, and immediately seal off the Basilica of the Dawn of Light, your king is in danger! ”

Liam shouted, drew his sword, and ran into the cathedral. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
