In the temple, the Holy Maiden Kelly stood under the statue, bowed her head and stroked the legendary artifact, Pharos's mask, and her slender white fingers gently brushed the red sun pattern on the white mask, and the movements were as gentle as brushing the face of a lover.

Even in the middle of the night, the main temple is brightly lit, illuminating the entire temple, and the worship of the gods will never be broken, and the holy maiden and the priests under her name are the ones who serve the gods and manage the existence of the temple.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind her, and Kelly didn't look back, but carefully put the mask on her face: "Our legion is defeated, isn't it?" ”

Pope Hodepp's hurried footsteps immediately stopped, as if the moment he walked into this temple, the moment he saw the Holy Maiden, he was instantly relieved.

"That's right, we were defeated, the wizards and the Night Stalker Knights defeated our army, and the army of 50,000 was lost in Attica, and even Martin, a saint, died somewhere."

Kelly turned her head, as if the moment she put on the mask, the whole person was also contaminated with the breath of the gods, and became high and indifferent: "The existence of evil, the ghosts of the human heart, the power of darkness, all these are under the power of the gods, in the light of light, not worth mentioning." ”

Kelly raised her head, looked out of the main hall through her mask, and walked outside, even though Pope Hodep was behind him, and the two of them stood together on the high staircase outside the Temple of Light, overlooking the entire city of St. Sal.

"The darkness will eventually be dispelled by the light, the evil will be annihilated by the power of the gods, and their souls will be burned forever under the light of the holy light, and only by turning their hearts to the light and the gods can they ascend to the paradise and kingdom of the gods."

"Everyone will pay ~out~generation~ for everything they do!"

Kelly stood in front of Hodepp, and with a white robe, it seemed to merge with the cold moonlight, but it instantly reassured Hodepp, yes, evil will eventually be destroyed under the light of the holy light.

Although the church is ready to fight with all its might, the previous consecutive defeats and rumors about wizards and the Night Stalker Knights have made the entire Church of Light Kingdom panic.

"Wizards, they are the spokesmen of the demons, they have borrowed the power from the demons, they have crawled out of the filthy abyss of hell, and they have looked at this paradise where the light of the gods shines with their evil eyes."

"We can't let them get their way, they want to drag the whole world into darkness and drag all of us into hell."

"I believe that we will never be defeated, we will defeat them completely, Her Highness the Holy Maiden and His Majesty the Pope, will judge them, and they will be reduced to ashes in the light of the gods."

The situation inside St. Sal City is okay, most of the believers are extremely devout existences, even if St. Sal City is broken, they will swear to live and die with the Church of Light, but outside of St. Sal City, and many small countries nearby that were originally close to the Church of Light, the situation has become extremely complicated.

Especially the refugees who fled from the Moorish Province, hundreds of thousands of refugees spread in fear and panic, all of them lost their smiles, only trembling and pale faces remained, and those who had seen the Night Stalker Knights swept through told everyone about the horror of wizards, and the legions that seemed to have crawled out of hell.

Someone in the streets is screaming: "Darkness has fallen, hell will come to earth!" ”

"They are the devil, no one can resist them, no one."

"They killed everyone, one left behind, one left behind."

"Pestilence, death, war, famine, darkness will reign over the earth."

In the vast number of countries and cities around the Moorish Province, the refugees on the streets and alleys tremble at the disaster caused by the presence of wizards, and those who survived the Night Stalker Knights have become insane, screaming only a series of frightening terms such as death and the devil.

The panicked women, the out-of-focus gaze in the children's eyes, the madmen who lost their minds, and the waves of refugees who fled in no sight, as if there was no end in sight, and the wolf smoke and countless corpses along the way, all complained of the horror of the wizard and the knights of the night owl.

The names of Levi and the wizard spread throughout the human realm, and everyone heard the name of the wizard for the first time, as if they were born with a terrifying and alarming color, which was a dark term that could not be mentioned at all.

Everyone feared the wizard, feared the wizard, and at the same time, there were more people, while fearing the terrible power of the wizard, they also yearned for the power of the wizard, including the Council of Nobles, no one thought that the power of the wizard would be so powerful, no one thought that a Levi and eight wizards would defeat the powerful Church of Light one after another, all the way to the city of St. Sal, and there was a tendency to destroy the Church of Light.

The Cretan Empire, Imperial Capital, Count Evans opened a secret passage from the bottom of his mansion, and after passing through the long tunnel with a torch, he came to a secret place under the Imperial Palace.

Count Evans, who was loyal to the Iliad VII back then, was still the most trusted person by His Majesty the Emperor in the Iliad VIII dynasty, and at the same time maintained close ties with the Church of Light, as if he was the one who stood at the top of the power at any time, and it was he who was the first to surrender to the Church of Light, leading a large number of surrender factions to join the Church of Light, and supporting Iliad VIII to come to power.

Although many people spurn his morality, more people are also envious of him, long sleeves and good at dancing, able to recognize the situation, no matter how the political situation changes, he seems to be an evergreen tree that will never fall.

Count Evans took the mask and came to a large underground conference room, and saw the torch illuminating the secret conference room, and at this moment, in addition to Evans, there were six other people who had arrived, all of them wearing masks like Count Evans, to participate in this secret meeting.

One sat at the top of the long table, while the other five argued as if something had happened that made them panic.

"How dare they, didn't they say that it was okay to occupy the Moore Province and force the Church of Light to shrink? They actually hit the city of St. Sal. ”

"The legions of the Church of Light in the major kingdoms and principalities can no longer be suppressed, and the third legion of the Mara Kingdom and Cardinal Peter of Pete have already turned the legions back at all costs, and it is impossible for the Mara Kingdom to stop them."

"The Fifth Legion of the Kingdom of Luman and Cardinal Emery are the same, regardless of the Luman Kingdom's mobilization of the legions to defend them, they will do everything to go to war to return to the Church of Light, they are now going to destroy the Church of Light, but we are not ready to start a full-scale station, and it is impossible for the major kingdoms to really start a war with these legions, and it is not possible for us to fully command them."

"I'll just say that these wizards who came out of nowhere can't be trusted, according to the original plan, as long as they drag down the Church of Light, it is equivalent to cutting off the tentacles of the Church of Light to the major kingdoms and principalities, and the next step is that our Cretan Empire will overthrow the Iliad VIII and become independent from the Church of Light, and we can eat away at the Church of Light step by step, these guys have launched an attack on the city of Santa Sal without authorization."

Everyone was angrily denouncing the Wizarding Alliance's unauthorized actions, but between the words, they couldn't avoid their fear and panic of the wizard's power, everyone didn't expect that in just a few years, Levi's would be able to create such a powerful legion, and even the Principality of Keville had been completely controlled by the Wizarding Alliance.

Evans sat in the first position on the upper left of the long table and looked at the black-robed man in the chief: "Is it still possible for us to stop the actions of the Wizarding Alliance and Levi?" ”

The man shook his head: "It's impossible, they're already desperate, Levi and the ambitions of the Wizard Alliance are too big, they've betrayed us." ”

Evans' eyes shrank, compared to back then, he had become a middle-aged man, and his eyes had become more resolute and cruel, like a goshawk: "Then we have to prepare immediately, we don't want to usher in another wizarding alliance after the Church of Light." ”

The man nodded: "You go down and get ready, once the Church of Light can't resist, all of us will send troops to help St. Sal City immediately, wizards, compared to the Church of Light, they are even more terrifying, not only are they as high as the Church of Light, but they also don't follow the rules of the game." ”

The man in the other seat immediately spoke: "Don't we send troops at once?" The 50,000 main forces of the Church of Light were all killed, and now there are 10,000 Knights of Light left in St. Sal City, how can they resist the Wizard's Night Stalker Knights. ”

Evans sneered: "Wait a minute, the Church of Light can't be defeated so easily, you have to know who is standing behind them, no one knows, what hole cards they have in private." ”

Everyone suddenly gasped, everyone only thought of the saint and the pope who had never made a move for many years, but they didn't think that the Church of Light was the spokesman of God, who knew what would happen in the end.

Evans didn't know why, but he felt a deep expectation: "Who is more powerful, the power of the gods or the devil?" Interesting! It's really exciting! ”
