Styria;

It took Beman and Feeson about a month to get here, as they had no horses and had to evade their pursuers at all times, so their pace was extremely slow.

Even so, they still haven't gone far, and they are even far from the sphere of influence of the Fashen Empire, so the two of them plan to get two horses first, otherwise they won't be able to reach the Year of the Monkey with just two legs.

Luckily, when they passed through a wasteland, they found a pasture, but there was something wrong with the pasture.

The sheep that should have been kept in the pen were all scattered outside, and there was no sound in the farmhouse of the pasture, as if no one was there.

Beman and Feeson went into the farmhouse to search, and as soon as they entered, there was a foul smell, and the two of them who had been rolling in the pile of dead people naturally thought that it was the smell of rotting corpses, and then they found two corpses in the innermost room. The two corpses should be a bunch of old couples, snuggled up to death in bed, covered in purple-black puffiness and pustules, looking extremely disgusting.

Fei Chen choked his throat: "What's the situation?" This way of dying is disgusting. ”

Beman also looked away uncomfortably: "I don't know, but this is probably the plague." ”

The two did not linger any longer, they mounted the only two horses in the pasture, and set fire to the farmhouse, which was considered to be the funeral of the farmer.

A day later, they arrived at the city of Styria, the largest town within a radius of several hundred miles and the place where the Crusaders' reserve garrison was located.

Fei Chen saw that Beman wanted to go in, and hurriedly stopped: "No, Beman, we can't go in, this is the rear headquarters of the Crusaders, and if we go in, it will be equivalent to throwing ourselves into a net." ”

Beman sighed: "I know it's dangerous, but we have no choice, we need a lot of food reserves, and we have to find a way to buy two good horses, otherwise with these two horses to escape, we will be caught up sooner or later." ”

Fei Chen knew that there was no way out, so he had to shut up and not dissuade him.

The two men pulled up their cloaks and wrapped their shoulders to cover their faces, and then blended into the city gates. The scene inside the city was like a replica of the pasture, filthy and foul-smelling, and in the fence at the city gate, a large group of locked up people cried out to them in despair: "Please! Take us out of here! Please! ”

These people had rotting pustules on their faces and bodies, indicating that they were all infected with the plague and had been caught here by the Crusaders to die.

After seeing these cruel and gloomy scenes, Beman hated the Holy See more and more, and at the same time, he also looked forward to the Empire of the Gods of Law.

At the stable, Beman and Fischen bought two horses, but unfortunately, the boy dropped Beyman's sword on the ground, allowing the stables to see the knight's badge on the hilt.

What happened next was logical, the two men were stopped by the Crusaders who heard the news before they could escape, and after a fight, the two were outnumbered and captured.

On the way to the dungeon, a priest arrived, who found out that they had been papal knights and took them to the bishop's room.

This bishop was also infected with the plague, and his face was covered with rotten flesh and abscesses, and he was dying. He told Beyman that all the disasters in the world now are caused by the black witch, whether it is war or plague, it is the black witch who brings it to the world. To eradicate these calamities, the Dark Witch must be brought to the Monastery of Severhak for trial, so that the curse from Hell can be lifted.

Due to the plague, they didn't have much to draw on here, so the Bishop wanted Beyman and Fitson to escort the Dark Witch team to the Abbey of Sephoac, and not prosecute them for betraying the Holy See after completing the mission.

In the past, Beman must have been convinced, but now that he has seen clearly what kind of urine the Holy See is, he naturally scoffs at such words. And he didn't want to work for the hypocritical and dark Holy See anymore, so he refused without hesitation.

He and Faison were then taken into a dungeon, where they waited for daybreak to be executed.

After some tossing, Beyman finally decided to accept the task, and in his mind, instead of waiting for death in prison, it was better to fight and complete the escort mission, and he would be free.

After two days of preparation, the group finally hit the road. In addition to Beman, Faison and the witch in the prison car, they were accompanied by the kappa-headed priest Debosa, the knight leader Ike, and a trickster Hagama who knew the route, as well as a follower, the reserve knight Jule, who was the young man in the movie who survived to the end.

It doesn't seem to matter if you don't introduce them, they're all innocuous little characters anyway.

What really made Fachen care was the girl who was locked in the prison car, because there was a demon hidden in her body, and this demon was Fachen's target.

If you want to completely overthrow the rule of the Holy See, it is still a little difficult to rely on the strength of the Fashen Empire alone, so Fachen needs an alliance force. Since the Holy See claims to be the spokesman for Heaven and God, an alliance with the forces of Hell is naturally the best option.

Absintheline;

This eerie forest of dead trees is not the only way to get to the Abbey of Severhak, but it is the closest one, and although the road is difficult, it is several days faster than the others. In order not to lose time, Beman chose this path.

It was only from the moment he entered the absinthe that Beman felt that something was wrong, as if someone was spying on them, an intuition he had cultivated over the course of more than a decade of fighting.

"Feesson?" Beman called out to his companion.

Fei Chen glanced at him: "You also feel it, have you found it anywhere?" ”

Beman shook his head and said in a low voice, "I can't find the source, but the other party definitely has bad intentions." ”

Fei Chen rolled his eyes: "The people who are staring at us inexplicably, of course, have bad intentions." ”

Beman knew he was talking nonsense and smiled awkwardly.

On the high mountain in the distance, Fachen and Xuechen stood side by side, and the six daughters of Penelo, Mato Xiao, Dong Xiang, Shirley, Yuna, and Aning stood behind the two.

"Why don't you do it now?" Xuechen asked.

Fachen shook his head: "Don't worry, wait until the evening when you go to contact that demon, and with your bloodline and dark power, you can successfully gain the trust of the other party." After that, we just have to follow them all the way to the monastery and destroy it. Anyway, can you restrain your tyrannical aura, I was going to follow secretly, but you let them all notice. ”

Xuechen said impatiently: "Why are you so troublesome, with our strength, wouldn't it be good to push it directly?" ”

Fachen raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with a smile: "It's okay to push horizontally, but my goal is not just to destroy the power of the Holy See, in that case, the hellish side will benefit, if the hell force sits large, the balance will be completely broken, and then the world will be completely ruined." ”

"If it's ruined, it's ruined, what does it have to do with us?"

"No, it matters." Fachen raised his hand and shook it towards the void, "This world has gods and demons, and compared to other worlds in the end of the Dharma era, it is a good place for me to develop. I have decided that I want to control this world and become the only god in this world, so I will make heaven and hell go to war in an all-out way. ”

"When they're both defeated, you'll come out to harvest?" Xuechen rolled his eyes, "You guy is really sinister. ”

Fachen disagreed: "If you can get the greatest benefit at the lowest price, why not?" ”

Xuechen didn't taunt anymore, but began to think about whether he could also conquer a world and play as the king of the world?

As the night grew darker, Beman and the others, who had been on the road for a day, stopped and began to camp. They gathered around the campfire to nibble on dry food and occasionally talk to each other.

Until late at night, when everyone had gone to sleep, Xuechen entered the camp silently, came to the prisoner cart, and lifted the black cloth covering the prisoner cart.

"Who are you?" The girl in the prison car was awakened and looked vigilantly at the cold and evil man in front of her.

The corners of Xuechen's mouth hooked: "I'm not looking for you, but for the guy in your body, and tell him to come out." ”

The girl's eyes widened and her face was full of horror. In the next second, the originally delicate face suddenly became hideous.

"Who are you?!" This time the voice was hoarse, and it sounded very uncomfortable, and the demon that had been hidden in the girl's body finally appeared.

"Demons?" Xuechen laughed, "Introduce yourself, Blood Clan Prince Xuechen." ”

"Blood Prince?!" The demon was a little incredulous, "There is actually a prince-level blood clan in this world?" ”

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that you haven't, even you, the demon, have appeared, so what's impossible for the blood clan?" Xuechen said, baring his teeth and scarlet eyes.

When the demon saw it, a surprised expression appeared on his face: "I really didn't expect that your blood clan is so hidden, you should be the leader of the current blood clan, what's the matter with me?" ”

"Quite simply, we are both in the dark camp, and our common goal is to destroy the forces of the light camp, that is, the Holy See, so I want to join forces with you to destroy the monastery of Severac, and all the church mantras in it."

The demon nodded, this is also its purpose, only by destroying these things, and without the restraints of hell, can it attack the human world in a big way.

"And what do you want?"

Xuechen sneered: "Then do you still need to ask?" When Hell takes over the world completely, all of us dark creatures will no longer have to live in hiding, and I can lead my people to become the masters of one side, isn't that enough? ”

"Boom... That's right. The demon sneered, "Okay, I agree to form an alliance, I've been waiting for this day for hundreds of years." ”

"Then it's decided, me and my people will follow you in secret, and we will do it when the time comes." After Xuechen finished speaking, he turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared.

The demon watched him leave, his eyes flickering with wonder why the other party was able to find himself so accurately. However, considering that both sides are in the dark camp and have an absolutely unchanging common enemy, these doubts are automatically ignored by it.

At this time, the black cloth was lifted again, but instead of a human face, a loaded crossbow arrow appeared in front of the demon's eyes, the tip of which reflected the moonlight and emitted a little cold light.
