In the snowy month of 2104 in the year of the Eliad, the aftermath of the cataclysm that swept across the continent had not yet subsided, and the Andersen Domain, located on the border between the empire and the Duchy of Bavaria, was constantly experiencing aftershocks due to the rising of the unnamed Bavarian mountain range.

This disaster area is arguably the hardest hit place in the entire cataclysm, and the sudden rise of the mountain range is like a resurrected behemoth beast that suddenly leaps out of the ground and crosses the world, as if this giant beast is still not satisfied with the territory it has occupied, and is still expanding its sphere of influence.

The endless aftershocks fully reflected the insatiable greed of this giant beast, and from time to time huge boulders shook off the "giant beast" as the mountains rose and shook, adding a bit of difficulty to the already difficult disaster relief work.

"Why did such a catastrophe suddenly erupt, have we been abandoned by the Lord of Light?" The sobs and moans of the victims echoed through the ruins of severed limbs and severed arms, and everyone here felt heavy.

"The Lord has not forsaken us. This is the Lord's test for us, and as long as we can survive the difficulties, we will be rewarded by the Lord!" A clergyman soaked in blood lay on the ground exhausted and loudly encouraged the victims around him, even though his whole body was already scarred from saving people from falling rocks, but he did not waver in the slightest in his faith in the Lord of Light.

"Hurry up and move those wounded people away as much as possible from the mountain range that is still rising! The injured rescuers recover as soon as possible and return to the front line of rescue as soon as possible!" A weathered middle-aged paladin shouted to the other clergymen around him who were also exhausted after smashing a piece of falling rock that had been smashed at the clergy with a sword.

"Lord Treville, this is not the way to go. Why hasn't Lord Swell arrived yet? We urgently need his divine magic support right now. A tired young paladin reminded softly that he was now holding on to his body that had reached the end of his crossbow with all his faith in the Lord of Light, and he even suspected that he would not be able to support it and fall down in the next moment, and in the process of falling, he would quickly fall into a coma.

Trever glanced worriedly to the southwest, then scolded with a grim expression: "Atos, what kind of bastard are you talking about? He had just exhausted almost all of his divine power in the previous disaster area, and it was impossible for him to recover in such a short period of time......"

"But my lord, we've done our best. We are obviously not up to the task of disaster relief alone, and since Lord Swell can't count on it, why can't His Majesty Esta send more people to the rescue?" Athos asked with an angry expression.

"Athoth, you also know that the cataclysm happened without warning, and that we have the most men we can draw at this time. Believe me, the follow-up rescue team is already on the way, and until they arrive, we must hold on!" Treville shouted encouragement.

"Why didn't His Majesty Estar use oracle magic to foresee this catastrophe?Isn't he the person who claims to be the most gifted person in the history of the Holy See?"

"Athos, do you know what you're talking about?" Trever gave Athos a serious look, "Take back what you just said, I can act as if I didn't hear anything." The oracle technique is not omnipotent, not to mention the crown of Ishta, even the crown of the Pope also did not use the oracle technique to predict this great disaster!"

Trever used what little divine power he had left to cast a mind-clearing spell on Athos, calming him down under pressure. He understood that the symptoms of Athos were by no means unique, and that the purgatory-like scene in the disaster area had caused a great psychological impact on these young people, who had almost never seen such a tragic scene.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Trevier, I just ......," said Athos, who had calmed down, with a blushing face.

"It doesn't matter. There is some truth in what you said, Lord Swell is indeed our hope, and now Lord Swell should be in the last disaster area to restore his divine power through prayer, and he will definitely rush here to join us as soon as possible after he recovers. Our mission is to get as many people out of the rubble as possible before he arrives. Trever comforted in a warm voice.

"But we are seriously understaffed...... It is our duty to use divine magic to rescue the wounded, but it should be the responsibility of the empire to dig these victims out of the rubble, why did His Majesty the Emperor not only send troops to the rescue, but instead transferred the four major legions back to the imperial capital?"

"Athos, we can do our job well, and it is not our turn to meddle in the affairs of the Empire. Trever nodded grimly.

Rey III's behavior is actually very understandable, and when he suddenly encounters a catastrophe, his first consideration must be the stability of the imperial power, and the priority of disaster relief must be relatively low.

Because the cataclysm broke out too suddenly, in the case that the empire did not send a rescue team in time, the rescue team of the Holy See was very valuable. But even though the Holy See is the largest organization in the mainland, the manpower to participate in the rescue at this moment is feeling stretched.

On the long border between the hardest-hit Empire and the Duchy of Bavaria, even if the Holy See branch had sent all the members of the Knights of Light and the Knights Templar here, it would still be a drop in the bucket.

Cardinal Swell, the commander-in-chief of the rescue, had no choice but to order all the civilian personnel of the Holy See to participate in the rescue, but the efficiency of the rescue was still outrageously low.

The border between the Empire and the Duchy of Bavaria was the hardest-hit area of the eastern continent, and Swell arrived here with a hastily formed rescue team as soon as the cataclysm struck.

After seeing the severity of the disaster in the disaster area, in the absence of enough manpower to transfer the victims from the disaster area in time, Swell developed a set of rescue methods: after arriving in each disaster area, Swell first cast a super healing magic "Holy Light Redemption", covering a radius of dozens of kilometers, and all the survivors in this area were all suspended, giving the Holy See's rescue team enough time to rescue them from the rubble one by one.

Swell's method is very effective, greatly reducing the casualty rate of the victims, but there is a very serious flaw, that is, the only person in the entire rescue team who can perform the "Holy Light Redemption" is Swell.
