Early in the morning, the silence of the salted fish port.

"Hurry!

"What...... You let me sleep again. I slept very late last night. Didn't you say that you would have a holiday today?"

"Hurry up!

"What's wrong?"

"Come out and see for yourself!"

As the residents took to the streets one after another, the exclamations of the entire salted fish port came and went.

"Oh my God, what's going on!"

"Are we surrounded by angels?"

"What do they want to do? Are they here to crusade against the Paladin, or are they here to accept the Paladin?"

People started talking.

The square of the castle is a mess, and the garbage left over from yesterday's celebration has not yet had time to be cleaned up.

The sea breeze blew, blowing the silver moon flag hunting.

Waves crash against the reef, seabirds chirp over the harbor, and ships dock silently in the harbor.

Yes, the legion of angels has come, and there are three hundred of them. Dressed in golden armor and with their wings outstretched, they floated silently in the sky.

The light shone down through the clouds, shining on their bodies. At the head is a seraphim with a golden helmet, long hair with a golden shawl, a burly body, and a handsome face.

Yes, six wings. This means that he is not only the leader of the Angel Legion, but also the leader of the Holy Spirit. It is second only to the Holy Spirit.

Just across from them, at the castle of Salted Fish Harbor, Gray stood quietly on the balcony, staring at them. Shelley stood right behind Gray, holding Richie's hand.

The black cat crouched on the railing of the balcony beside him.

Catherine, Vivien, Delia, Sarina, the guardian angels and temptation demons of the Gray father and son, all disappeared and floated beside them.

Everyone held their breath and watched in silence.

Irene stood in her room and looked through the window, her face pale.

Dean, who had just woken up from his sleep, rushed out into the street, staring up with wide eyes. My mind went blank.

What are the angelic legions here for? If so, why are there so many angels? Why are they fully armed?

The answer seems to be on the horizon.

But...... Why? Dean couldn't understand it.

Jones and Dora, dressed in armor, stood on the castle wall and looked up, even trembling slightly for breath.

"I know! What bullshit Holy Spirit! What bullshit holy faith! What they say stinks like shit they pull!"

"Wake up!" Hallse cried, scooping the sleeping knights out of bed.

Camilla, who had changed into a military uniform, stared up blankly. Over the years, she has learned swordsmanship, horsemanship, formation, and deployment of troops to fight, and has completely changed herself from a lady to a female knight. However, in the face of angels, she didn't even know how to defend herself.

Unprepared, really unprepared.

In the corner where no one was looking, the lichs began to get restless.

"What's going on? I ask you what's going on! Are those old guys in heaven stupid? what do they want?" Simon grabbed Morka by the collar and shook it violently.

"You ask me how do I know!"

"Aren't you the author?"

"I'm just an author, I don't care if I say anything like that!" Morka screamed.

The soul fire in the lich's eyes had gone into a trance, showing that they were disappointed.

It's been three months, and everyone already feels that the Holy Spirit has accepted Gray, but things are still reversed. Or rather...... It was never reversed. The so-called reversal is just people's wishful thinking.

In the distance, the human coalition sent to crusade against Gray was already heading in the direction of Salted Fish Harbor, overwhelming, like an ocean of flags and people. This is a full 400,000 human army, enough to surround the entire salted fish harbor on many levels, and no one wants to run away from here.

"Great!hahahaha! The Angel Legion is finally here!" Levi rode back and forth between the military formations, shouting loudly: "Listen up! Those who are not brave in battle and do not resolutely carry out military orders will be strictly examined after the war is over! to determine whether they have colluded with the Lich Knight! Anyone who colludes with the Lich Knight will be guilty of the same crime as the Lich Knight!"

"What do you mean by that?" Elbald asked angrily, "'The Colluders are guilty of the same crime as the Lich Knights'?"

"You don't have to pay attention to him, he's just a clown, and his words don't count. Holy Spirit...... The Holy Spirit has a decision. Belinda replied softly.

"What decision is that?" asked Ebond.

Belinda didn't answer.

Zeda, who had disappeared, hid in a dark alley and secretly looked up.

In the distance, the banner of the new Pope Darren IV has appeared in the military formation. Then there were the kings of the nations. Many of them knew Gray, including Benedict II, Arthur, Jean II, and Barnett III.

"Why, why is this happening...... Is the Holy Spirit forsaking us?"

"Holy Spirit, I thought it was the world that went crazy, but I didn't expect you to be crazy...... Please tell me, what is the sanctity of our faith?"

"What bullshit Holy Spirit! Lao Tzu doesn't believe in you anymore! Those noble lords don't have any good goods, you don't care, take care of our paladins!" someone scolded.

"Old men, women, and children hide quickly! Men take up arms! Prepare to fight for the paladins!"

There are even more who have drawn their bowstrings and pointed their arrows at angels who are absolutely invincible to them.

The whole salted fish harbor has become noisy.

Led by Dean, a group of priests stormed the castle and protected the Gray family. They held hands, sang hymns, and stared at the angel leader with wide eyes.

Gray was still standing on the balcony, facing the Angel Legion Captain across Dean.

The blonde seraphim at the head also watched Gray silently, as well as the others on the balcony. even glanced at the black cat, and the hair on the black cat's body exploded in fright.

Ebald couldn't stand it anymore, he flapped his wings and flew to the Seraphim Legion, bowed, made a cross on his chest, and whispered: "Dear Lord Jelemy, I am the first-class angel Albert, I beg you, stop what you are doing now......"

Before Epad could finish speaking, Jeremy had already raised his hand: "I know you. But this matter is not in the category of what you can interfere with. ”

Ai Bode was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, but he still stubbornly continued: "I said this, it has nothing to do with my responsibilities and authority. It's just about faith. You can not listen, but you can't stop me from telling the truth. ”

However, Jeremy still replied coldly, "I know what you want to say. Trust me, what you want to say, I've thought about it. In three months, I have already thought about everything I should think about and what I should not think. Can you please leave it to me?"

Ebald stared blankly at Jelemy.

"Will you please leave it to me?" Jeremy repeated.

Hesitating, Abbot could only nod helplessly and step aside.

Jeremy flapped his wings and moved forward little by little, hovering less than ten meters away from Gray.

The pastors held each other's hands tightly and used all their strength. They sang hymns, shouted, and burst into tears, all in the posture of martyrs.

The sound of chants began to sound throughout the harbor, and people began to hum alongside each other. As if pleading, praying for the Holy Spirit to hear their voices.

"Impossible, right? Are they really going to do it?"

"If they do it, the Divine Faith is a piece of!"

"If they do this, I'll kill the author and abandon the book!"

"What's the matter with me!" Morka was about to cry.

The lichs are already heckling.

Brutus secretly held his wand.

At this moment, everyone was quietly looking at Jeremi, waiting.

As soon as Jeremy raised his hand, the six priests who were protecting Gray, including Dean, flew into the sky. Immediately afterward, six angels flew through the air, grabbed them all, and took them away.

"No——! what are you going to do!"

"We're guarding the faith! What are you going to do!"

"You have betrayed your faith! You are fallen angels! Stop!

The priests shouted and screamed, but to no avail, and the angels ignored their resistance.

All of this happened in such a short period of time that Gray hadn't even reacted.

Richie's eyes widened, and the black cat quickly retreated in fright.

The chants were choked, and everyone was stunned and stared blankly at Jelmy.

Just then, a voice rang out in Gray's head.

"Gray, we believe in your faith. This is Jeremi's voice: "For you, we have tested it enough. You may be a lich, but we are willing to accept you. But...... In terms of approach, we need to be considerate. Hope you understand. ”

The wind blew softly, and the Silver Moon Banner hunted in the wind.

Gray listened quietly, the soul fire in his eyes flickering slightly.

"I know you're stubborn, but I still want to try and convince you. Your faith is pure, and being a saint is the best proof of that. However, your presence has also brought us a great crisis. I wouldn't even want myself to be here if I could. Pointing your sword at your comrades is not what you should do as an Angel Legion. But if we don't show up here, the ones who appear here will be the Demon Messengers of Hell and the Demon Legion of Purgatory. They can disguise themselves as angels, which is not a very difficult thing for them, and human beings have no ability to distinguish at all. ”

"At that point, you're going to be in a much worse position. ”

"We can't help but crusade against you, and if we don't crusade against you, we can't maintain the orthodoxy of the Holy See. I know that you are not satisfied with the Holy See, but you have to admit that the Holy See has made some achievements. In fact, even if the Holy See loses its legitimacy, as long as the human race on the continent remains good, it will not be a big problem. For example, the transfer of legitimacy to you, we can also accept. But ......"

"You have to admit that there are many, many times more people who oppose you than there are people who support you. Human beings are ignorant after all, and a small number of awakened people do not represent the majority. If, in the minds of those people, the dominant forces of hell take the opportunity to become orthodox, then ...... The situation will be worse than we never imagined. That would be a disaster. ”

"So, I've got a special way for you to put an end to this incident. ”

......

"What are they doing?

"It's like communicating, and I can feel the magic flowing between them, but I don't know what they're talking about. ”

"Is there a way to know?"

"Unless someone's soul mark has already been left on Gray's body, it's impossible. ”

Speaking of this, Brutus, who had been staring at Jeremy intently from beginning to end, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and said, "I left a soul mark on him!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Let's start then, I'm good at it, I can get you eavesdropping on his head. It will take a little time though......"

......

Meanwhile, the communication between Gray and Jeremy continues.

"So, you mean to turn me into an evil lich?"

"To be precise, I want you to disguise yourself as an evil lich. That way, things are much simpler for us. ”

"I don't understand, you even want an evil lich than a righteous lich?"

"Hmm...... Your statement is not entirely wrong, but it is easy to cause misunderstanding. It would be more accurate to say that we want to keep everything on a track that is acceptable to the vast majority of people, and that hell is not given any chance. ”

"I don't know what you mean. Gray replied coldly.

All of a sudden, Jeremi's expression seemed to stiffen a little.

The two continued to look at each other silently.

......

"It worked!hahahaha! Take this, hold it in your hand, and cast a spell on it, and you can hear what they're communicating about now. And pass it on to us!" a lich put a crystal stone into Brutus' hand.

The surrounding lichs cheered.

Holding the crystal, Brutus began to "eavesdrop" intently.

......

"In that case, let's be blunt. Jeremy's voice in Gray's head suddenly rose an octave, and he exclaimed, "I mean, no, I should say, that's what the Holy Spirit willed, and it's the most appropriate solution right now. We are willing to preserve you, and we are willing to accept you, but not on this plane, nor on this continent. We need you to do something evil and prove to them that you are evil and that you have deceived them. They are wrong. Then we crusade against you, and then those who support you will not have any resentment against the Holy Spirit. It's also their protection. We have managed to maintain the coherence of the faith of the Holy See, that there will be no confusion, that hell will not have an opportunity. Of course, the so-called 'crusade' is fake, and we are just pretending to defeat you. Actually, we're going to take you away and get out of here. Go somewhere else. We know that this is very wronged to you, and in return you will have the opportunity to touch the true divine. Yes, truly sacred, some, you never thought of it before. You will gain far more power than you have now. Now, you know what I mean?"
