Birch Town is busy in the early morning, especially as the winter moon approaches.

The people of Birch Town were walking down the avenue, and the morning light shone on them, bringing them warmth and making the increasingly cold weather milder.

In front of the wharf of Birch Harbor, as early as yesterday, the last merchant ships have all left here, and it is estimated that there will be no more large merchant ships coming here until the winter moon passes, and there may be some hard merchants who want to fight their way out of the cold and storm, and they will probably come here, but Birch Harbor will basically be closed.

Of course, before the port is closed, there will be a fleet coming from the church state in the north, and the church in Birch Town will welcome a new force, and of course, it may be the last big job in Birch Harbor before the winter moon.

People are busy walking around the port, and they can already see a trace of breath in front of their mouths and noses, and the cold air makes the faces of some young children freeze red, and adults are constantly rubbing their exposed hands.

But people are very motivated, because there are already a few good things about to happen in Birch Town.

The knights of the church are here, and the sins hidden in Birch Town and the troubles in the mountains and wilderness around Birch Town can be expected to be solved, and Captain Kay of the patrol has always been in close contact with Bishop Klock of the church, and this morning, Captain Kay also went up to the church to award medals to the knights who solved the troubles in the old cemetery of Birch Town a while ago.

At sea a while ago, the pirates seemed to have experienced a very dangerous thing, and even the highest alert, which had not been sounded for a long time, was sounded, and the sound traveled far and for a long time. Then the pirates disappeared and hibernated, and there was no news of them yet, and of course, they did not reappear in any of the passages.

This was a good thing for Birch Town, as even the patrols stationed on the nearby island had a little time to rest.

With no threat at sea, some of the people of Birch Town dared to go out into the sea to catch some fish and prepare some extra food for the season when the harvest was about to fail.

It's a good thing, for for so many years, it's rare to be able to paddle like now, and most of the time, the people of Birch Town rarely dare to paddle to places where fish are abundant.

But now it's different, the people of Birch Town know that the knights are coming here, and they heard that it is still a large army, which means that the shortage of troops in Birch Town will be greatly alleviated, and the warships brought by the knights will also give Birch Town and the pirates a capital to fight.

Many people in Birch Town are thinking that perhaps, when the knights come, it will be when the pirates disappear, and then the abundant seafood and smooth sea trade routes will contribute to the prosperity of Birch Town.

In addition to this, the people of Birch Town have not forgotten that at the edge of the desert in the north, there is a group of guards of Birch Town who have been guarding the edge of the desert, and they have been monitoring the movement of those shadows in the desert.

The first and most important task of the knights is to go to the north of Birch Town and solve the troubles in the desert, although the people of Birch Town do not know what is going on in the desert, but they have no way to forget the 'Sand Beast Tyranny' that happened more than ten years ago.

Many people have lost their loved ones, as well as the soldiers stationed at that time, and their tombstones are still standing in the cemetery, showing their bravery and fearlessness.

Of course, it would be nice if the knights could come here and help the people of Birch Town with these troubles.

Today is also important, the people of Birch Town are waiting, and at noon, the knights of the church will hold a celebration, also known as a blessing ceremony, to pray for the knights who are about to go to the northern desert to carry out reconnaissance missions.

This is extremely important, and it is the last gathering of the people of Birch Town before the winter moon comes, and this time the big event will be held in the square of Birch Town, and the soldiers and knights of the patrol will participate in this gathering.

Of course, there will be something nice to look at during the ceremony, and the most anticipated thing is, of course, that the knights in bright armor march neatly from the church to the birch town, and the heroic knights will make the children envious, the girls will fall in love, and the parents will be proud.

Many people with ideas and hopes are preparing, hoping that the figure they are looking forward to will appear in the ranks of the knights, will notice them, or be able to shout a word or two for him, so that the atmosphere will be more enthusiastic.

Of course, in addition to the knights, the patrol members are nervously making final preparations in Birch Town, gathering the bonfire in the center of the square, and arranging the 'surging' merchants to keep order in Birch Town from chaos.

Of course, there are not a few people who want to do something stealing at this time, and many people complain about being irritable because they disturb their purity or for some painful reasons, but on the whole, the morning in Birch Town still lingers in an atmosphere of harmony and joy.

The church on the hill is still as calm as ever, and some good people have walked towards the hill of the church, hoping to be able to stand in a good position at noon.

Everything is normal.

Until a certain moment, the people of Birch Town felt a different atmosphere, and they looked up in surprise to see a gray light shrouded around the church.

"What is that, I can't see the church anymore."

"I thought I was dazzled, something was blocking the church. …… What's that? ”

"Doesn't the church want anyone to see what's really going on inside?"

"Maybe they want to surprise us."

People looked at the vision of the church, but few thought in a bad direction, after all, for such a long time, the safest place for the people of Birch Town was where the patrols and the people of the church were.

But soon, people noticed that something was wrong, not only was there something wrong with the church on the hill, but there also seemed to be something wrong in the direction of Birch Town, and even if it was to prepare something for the celebration, there was no need to make thick smoke billowing out...... Could it be, a misfire?!

But even if there is a fire, it will not be a fire here or there, and the whole town will be on fire.

The people were surprised to find that things did not seem to be what they had imagined, for those standing near the church and those near Birch Harbor felt as if the ground was shaking.

Something must have happened, something bad happened suddenly without the people of Birch Town knowing.

……

In Birch Town, Fat, commanding a patrol of soldiers, is hunting down the saboteurs who make the sabotage, and Fatt knows that those guys are mages, but unlike the powerlessness that Veel gives himself, these mages are some kind of people who can only manipulate things on the ground and mess around.

"Quick! Get over there, that guy is throwing my eggs! "Yikes! My skirt! "Mom...... My candy flew ......" was a riot, but it was still under control, Kark hadn't woken up yet, but he was still able to do something.

The people of the mage's assembly...... Are they causing chaos in Birch Town to distract the patrols? …… Captain Curran, Bishop of Klock...... Fate's eyes looked in the direction of the church in the distance, and worry crossed his eyes.

But Fate's command did not stop, "You, go there and put out the fire, the third team, you are responsible for going there and stopping the arsonist ......." Under Fate's command, the patrol quickly stabilized the situation in the town without much confusion.

Except for some distant commotion, in the middle of the town, the situation had completely stabilized, and in front of Fate, several arsonist mages were being escorted to their knees.

Fateh stepped forward and tore off the masks they were wearing, revealing faces that were young or old.

"Say, why are you causing chaos in Birch Town?"

"Birch Town belongs to the Mage Gathering, it's ours! You lowly fellows, let me go! Otherwise, the Lord will make you look good! ”

"Broken corpses?" Fatt said.

"That's right! Scared! ”

"Not at all...... Mage Gathering? Fat's brow was frowned, and his mind thought of Vere.

"Humph! A wretched bunch of powerless creatures, betrayers abandoned by God! Only the mage! Only we are worthy to rule this world! You are all lowly ants, let me go! ”

Fart looked at the guy in front of him like a fool, and gently measured a gesture, and a patrol soldier next to him fiercely told the mage to shut up.

"Hehehe......" the man was still laughing, "you wait, the power of the Lord is unmatched, and you will all be wiped out under his power!" ”

Fatt ignored the mages, it seemed that they were responsible for causing chaos in Birch Town, but there had to be something that would signal their actions, "What is it?" Fatmo rubbed his chin and looked in the direction of the church.

A loud roar suddenly came from the direction of the church, and Fat's eyes widened suddenly.

The mages who were crushed to the ground also grinned and laughed.
