"When the Fortress of Dawn fell to thieves a few months ago, it cut off contact with the kingdom. Even the Earl of Arsay in Greenland could not find out. Finally, two weeks ago, a group of griffon knights cruised in at night, and after nearly half of the sacrifice, they found out something..."

"Just between the former Twin Castles of Dawn, the thieves have begun to build a huge palace. According to the analysis of the magic images that have been expanded, its basic part is basically the same as the body circumference of the former Great Light Temple. ”

Before Heber could finish speaking, Betty Tower had already spoken, and her expression turned solemn.

"The Great Light Temple? Oh, the ambition is really not small! ”

Hearing this, the Earl couldn't help but sneer.

At that time, the headquarters of the Church of Light was the Great Light Temple, which was also the place where the three holy relics of the holy spear "Longinus", the holy grail "Archimedes" and the holy emblem "Hillendel" were enshrined.

After the Church of Light was destroyed and the last pope and cardinal were all martyred, this magnificent temple, which had represented the supreme glory of the God of Light since its birth, was also demolished. Not only were the dismantled bricks and stones completely shattered, but even the foundation of the main hall was hollowed out, leaving no residue.

The three holy relics enshrined in the temple, the holy emblem Hillendel belonged to the royal family, and the holy spear Longinus was taken into the pocket by the Duke of Stormsea at that time.

Only Archimedes of the Holy Grail was left behind, and he did not reappear until a few months ago in the battle to destroy the Death Preacher, shocking the world.

"What is Her Majesty's will?"

Glancing at the eldest princess and the prince, Moriarty asked.

"Your Majesty is very concerned about the disobedient behavior of the thieves, and has called a meeting of the Prime Minister and the Minister of War for several days to discuss countermeasures. But at present, the domestic demon disaster has not been appeased, and the Dawn Fortress has fallen into the hands of thieves and is difficult to recapture for a while. This question is quite sensitive, and after glancing at each other, Hai Bo smiled bitterly: "That's why Your Majesty is looking forward to your Viscount going to the royal capital." ”

"The Church of Light is powerful. I'm the only one. It doesn't help either. ”

Moriarty shook his head, as if helpless.

"No, in addition to you, His Majesty has sent a note to Bracada's allies. From the replies received so far, it seems that at least three Grand Arcanists will visit Standwell. ”

With a slight smile, the eldest princess turned over a hole card.

"Three Grand Arcanists!?"

The Count of Salk was immediately taken aback.

"Yes. One of them was an 'acquaintance' of Viscount Reinhardt. Betita nodded and said directly to Moriarty, "It's Lady Azurite." ”

"Oh? It's been a long time since I've seen the lord of the castle. ”

Moriarty tightened slightly, as if thinking of something.

"So, with you, Viscount, the four Grand Arcanists. Together with the original Templar powerhouse of the kingdom, it is enough to exterminate the Thief Cult and knock it down into the abyss again! ”

Like a confident warrior, Haiber stood up and proclaimed loudly as if victorious.

However, both Moriarty and Salk were somewhat indifferent to this, and the old earl did not even cast a glance. The prince sat back in his seat with some embarrassment.

"Both, in my opinion, the struggle against the Church of Light must be difficult, repeated, and long-term, and there is almost no chance of achieving it overnight. Therefore, both the royal capital and the localities must make sufficient ideological and material preparations to fight with the enemy for each town and village. After pondering for a moment, Moriarty finally said, "The four Grand Arcanists seem to be indeed powerful and abnormal, but they are placed opposite the gods. It's too small to mention. Even if the god has fallen asleep or even fallen, the divine power left behind by it is still not to be taken lightly. ”

"The Viscount..."

"The Demonic Plague has not been eliminated, the Fortress of Dawn has fallen, and the true strength of the Church of Light is still lurking below the water. Under such conditions, we will engage in a strategic decisive battle with the enemy. Even if you win, the price will be terrible. At that time, the kingdom will be ruined, and if Krulrod or Deja are in trouble, I am afraid that the disaster will be even worse. ”

Stopping Betita's interruption, Moriarty continued.

And when they heard the names of Krulrod and Dejia, both the eldest princess and the prince changed their faces. Only then did I remember that these two "good neighbors" of Erathia were both slightly damaged in this demonic invasion. In particular, Beamon is said to have completed the new king's battle, which is the moment of unification and vigor. If the third "Punic War" were to be launched, Erathia would be in danger.

"So, I thought the priority now was to defeat the demons and drive them out of the country. In this way, Erathia can regain its stability and national strength as soon as possible. As for the Church of Light, it is mainly based on overall containment, supplemented by local crackdowns and elimination. In particular, we must be vigilant against its wanton expansion and spread among the people, which is the real threat to destabilize the ruling order of the kingdom. ”

"Viscount, your statement is truly insightful and deafening. I will sort it out and send it back to Standwell as soon as possible for His Majesty's judgment. ”

After a few moments of stunned speech, Betita and Heber came back to their senses, looking at each other in shock.

Until now, on the issue of the Church of Light, the main battle faction still accounts for the absolute majority of the top decision-making level in the royal capital. However, Moriarty's remarks completely repudiated the strategy of quick victory that he had initially formulated, but it was completely reasonable, which really shocked the two messengers who knew the inside story.

"This is just a little bit of personal advice from me, just for reference. However, in response to what I have just said, I have already begun to implement some 'small initiatives' in Kent, and I would like to take this opportunity to discuss them with the two adults. ”

As he spoke, Moriarty took a scroll from his sleeve and placed it in front of Betetta and Heber.

When the Earl of Salk next to him saw this, he couldn't help but sigh again, but he didn't say anything.

Glancing at Moriarty in confusion, the eldest princess reached out to uncover the scroll and examine its contents with the prince.

There was silence in the room for a while, but gradually a strange look surfaced on the viewer's face, until the eyebrows were tangled and sweaty...

Five days later, the eldest princess Betita and Prince Haiber returned to the royal capital, still escorted by the "Golden Griffin" Keynes and the Guards Legion.

However, there was a small group of heavily armed knights with the "Golden Lionheart" badge on their chests. The leader of them is unusually tall and majestic, with a terrifying serrated sword on his back, and his crotch mount is as large as a monster, and he is the death knight Gauguin disguised as "Basil Lei's Transformation Feather".

After this period of unremitting cultivation, especially with the assistance of the "Negative Energy Room" specially built for him, Gauguin has returned to the peak level of the twelfth level, and at the same time, the original "Death Frozen Air" has also greatly changed to the "Wind of Negative Energy".

Even Keynes couldn't help frowning when he first saw this strange knight shrouded in the armor of a black tower. (To be continued.) )
