The prince took a moment to calm his mind, and then changed his tone to a heavy tone, and said to the attendees: "A plague suddenly broke out in the Templar Fortress, and almost all the defenders were infected, losing at least half of their combat strength. ”

After listening to the Prince's words, a gasp suddenly sounded in the venue, but some people hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what you said is true?" In a place like the Templar Fortress, where a large number of priests are stationed, why is there a plague spreading? ”

This is the question that everyone has in their hearts, is it possible that the pastors of the church are all eating white rice? For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the elderly archbishop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is news from a messenger sent by the Templars, who arrived at the church closest to the fortress and was already dying, and had only time to deliver such a message." The archbishop explained: "The priest of the church did find in him an unseen disease, which he had tried with the magic of curing the disease, and it could be removed, but it would take a long time, and if it was a large-scale and sudden outbreak, I am afraid it would be too late." ”

"What exactly does the epidemic look like?" A big bald head suddenly asked, this person was the same kobold military advisor who had advised Vidnina before, the Grand Sage of Kez, who had come to the meeting as a representative of the Gate of Mysteries.

"Dizziness, vomiting, and fever, which in turn lead to internal bleeding and organ failure." The archbishop said, "The warriors of the physics department can still rely on their physical fitness to survive for a while, but after the law profession is infected, they are basically incapacitated, and I think this is one of the reasons why the plague has not been eliminated as soon as possible." ”

"If it's such a plague, why was it so unguarded in the first place?" The representative of the Alchemy Association suddenly asked, "It's not the first time that the enemy has used the plague to attack us, but no matter how powerful the epidemic is, as long as it is isolated in time and properly handled, it will not have much impact if the epidemic does not spread." ”

"This is also where we are puzzled, according to the speculation on the Holy City's side, the enemy may have used some special means of transmission, such as some rare plague forbidden spell, and it is likely that evil necromancers are involved." The archbishop continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the audience immediately focused on the representative of the Mage Guild.

The Templar Fortress is staffed by several mage regiments, whose duty is to support the battlefield on the one hand; On the other hand, it is necessary to guard against powerful magical attacks from enemies, and when they hear that the fortress may have been attacked by a forbidden spell, the first thing people question must be those mages.

"What do you mean by that?" The representative of the Mage Association said in a loud voice with some anger, "The mages deployed in the Sanctuary are not directly under the association's mage group, but are only formed by the fortress through the association's recommendation, and they have nothing to do with the association, and the Alchemy Association also has a team of pharmacists there?" Why don't you ask him? As he spoke, he gestured to the representative of the Alchemy Society.

"What's our business? Things have come to this point and you have to shirk responsibility? Would this be the case if your mages had the ability to stop the forbidden spell? If you want me to say, the church is also responsible, right? The representative of the Alchemy Association immediately retorted unhappily.

Other organizations and groups may not dare to touch the mold of the church, but these professional associations are different, for the sake of human justice, the two sides can cooperate, but all kinds of small frictions and disputes are naturally indispensable, especially the alchemy association, they even have a competitive relationship with the church in some fields.

Seeing that a confidential meeting was about to turn into a dumping meeting, the archbishop's old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, sighed heavily, and then said: "Everyone, it is not for us to shirk our responsibilities by calling everyone together, the church will be responsible for this incident, but the important thing at the moment is to solve the crisis first!" The defenders of the Templar are fighting for their lives against demons, and we have to quarrel over such frivolous things in a place like this? ”

As soon as he said this, the room fell silent, and everyone finally began to discuss a solution.

The solution is very simple, someone will contribute people, there will be money, and there will be technology, and everyone will get together to form an expeditionary force and set off as soon as possible to help the Templar.

In fact, at the time of the meeting's discussion, the church's own reinforcements had already been prepared, and it needed the cooperation of the Mage Association to open a large-scale teleportation array, and the cost of activating the teleportation array and the supply of reinforcements needed a few big people to pay the bill.

After each representative had finished communicating with his master, the process of the meeting was much faster, and the Vosa royal family united several big nobles to be responsible for the money, the church mainly contributed, and the rest of the associations also performed their duties and cooperated.

Even Dean Runes said that he would form a student army with senior students and mentors to go to the front.

People are always more united in the face of demonic threats.

After a preliminary agreement was reached, the impromptu meeting was adjourned, and the delegates got up and left, except for Dean Runes and the two senior members of the church who sat in their place, and the other delegates probably guessed that they had other things to discuss, and did not disturb them.

"Speaking of which, why did someone from the Inquisition appear at the school celebration of Xiansai? And it's still so big? A representative of the nobility whispered to the person next to him.

"Who knows? The Inquisition has always been mysterious, why don't you ask? Another representative replied in a whisper.

"Forget it, no one dares to offend the court. However, I was more curious that the president of Sensai could sit at the conference table than the presence of the Grand Judge. ”

"What's wrong with that? Didn't the dean say that he wanted to form a student army? Don't think that a student underestimates the power of the Immortal Cypriot. ”

"This is also true, Xiansai's top student, that is the future and hope of the empire!"

The three people left in the conference room didn't know what was being discussed outside, and they didn't care what they were discussing, and the Grand Inquisitor Rodhart, who had barely spoken much in the meeting before, looked at the elderly archbishop and said in a somewhat heavy tone, "Mentor Nicholas, do you think our mission can be successful?" ”

His attitude towards the archbishop was extraordinarily respectful, and he did not have the cold frame of his previous appearance at all.

"Rodhart, my proudest disciple, you shouldn't have asked this question." The archbishop shook his head, and said in a firm and reverent tone: "This is the glorious test that the Lord has given us, the revelation of God that guides us to the path of ascension, and it is not a question of whether it can succeed or not, but it must succeed!" ”

"Yes, I see." The Grand Judge, who looked to be middle-aged, lowered his head a little ashamedly, and continued: "I have secretly ordered all the Judgment Knights to secretly infiltrate Afen City, and then come to the academy to provide the most thorough protection here. As he spoke, he glanced at Dean Runes and continued, "Your Excellency, you shouldn't let the students go to battle, they are also a force to be reckoned with. ”

"You have your mission, and I have a glorious tradition to protect." Dean Runes said stubbornly, "Xiansai Academy is not a petri dish for a greenhouse, and I am more worried about the safety of the entire continent than your plan. ”

"My student, you shouldn't question Dean Runes' decision, it's rare that he can cooperate with our mission at this time, and you should have enough respect for him." The archbishop said, reaching for his forehead and rubbing his temples, as if he was a little tired from the long meeting?

"Hurry up, I won't be able to last long." The archbishop finally spoke, reaching out and touching his right ribcage, feeling the majestic and powerful heartbeat there.

By the next morning, the news that the Holy Church had been attacked by the Plague Forbidden Spell also came out, and the news that the Southern Continent was about to form an expeditionary force to help the Holy Church was even more known, but thanks to the powerful propaganda methods of various organizations, this crisis did not cause any panic among the people, but ignited the people's war fever.

Even after Xiao Miya went out for a walk and listened to a few deliberately incendiary speeches, she went home and wanted to donate the hammerhead shark puppet.

This childish approach was naturally taught a hard lesson by Bai Yi, the little face was turned red, and he was punished for not being allowed to eat dinner, until the little guy cried and confessed his mistake to him, and then took Xiao Miya into his arms, while wiping away her tears in distress, rubbing her face to soothe her, and letting Artie bring a warm meal.

"In the future, don't make impulsive choices just after listening to something, always stay rational and have your own opinions and judgments." Bai Yi said, shoving a piece of bread into Miya's mouth.

Xiao Miya originally wanted to say something, but Bai Yi was gagged like this, so she could only whine twice and nodded vigorously.

"I can understand your feelings, but you see, Yuyu has been by your side and protected you so many times, how can you send it out?" Bai Yi touched Miya's head again and said earnestly.

"I'm sorry Mr. Hope, it's me who is not good." Xiao Miya swallowed the bread and quickly apologized to Bai Yi.

"I'm also reluctant to fish fish, but I still want fish to protect more innocent people." Miya said, putting her face on Bai Yi's chest, blinking her big teary eyes, and saying something childish and cute.

"The fish can't protect others, it can only protect you, and if you want to protect others, you have to rely on yourself." Bai Yi continued, "I know you don't have the strength to protect others now, but don't worry, it's only a matter of time before you have me by your side. ”
