"Your Excellency, we have found several traces of encampment in the mountains. But...... The traces were all days old, and judging by the location, they may have left the Candela Mountains. ”

In the palace, a paladin hurried into the room and said this to the bishop in the room.

When Bishop Cameron heard this, he also turned around, revealing a solemn look with a frown.

"How did they find out?" said a hint of unhappiness in his solemn expression, "If it was before, the king was secretly tipping them off, and those people would have found out. But now that the king has run away, where is their source?"

"This ...... We don't know. ”

The bishop asked, "Did they discover the flaws in your actions?"

The paladin lowered his head and said, "This...... We don't know. ”

Suddenly, the bishop looked impatient, shook his head, and said, "I don't know anything...... Forget it, you go down first. Find out where they are hiding, they can't just disappear into thin air, there will always be clues. ”

"Yes. ”

As if pardoned, the paladin nodded vigorously and hurried out of the room.

And not long after he left, the older bishop who had been chasing Benjamin alongside Bishop Cameron walked in again.

"You've heard that news?" said the older bishop as he entered.

Bishop Cameron nodded, but didn't say anything, looking a little irritated.

"So you already know. When the older bishop saw this, he added, "But ...... Finally, when the day comes, we will finally pull out the cancer that has grown in the sacred land. ”

When Bishop Cameron heard this, he was stunned again.

"What are you talking about? Isn't that news that the Fallen Bandits left the Candela Mountains and hid somewhere?" he asked.

The older bishop shook his head.

"What's that news?" asked Bishop Cameron immediately.

The older bishop smiled and said slowly, "It's good news. The location of the Silent Academy and the number of mages have been confirmed. In the Kingdom of Hori, we have gathered a large army of men and horses, and we are ready to destroy them completely. ”

Bishop Cameron was also very surprised when he heard this, and the gloom on his original face seemed to have faded a lot at this moment.

All this is God's will. ”

He came back to his senses, folded his hands, and said calmly.

Seeing this, the older bishop did the same as the other and followed the other man's prayer: "May God bless our cause." ”

Bishop Cameron nodded.

"May God bless our cause and be aware of all the sinful people of this world. ”

A deep voice echoed slowly in this room of the palace.

Meanwhile.

Thousands of miles away, to the west of the kingdom of Hori, deep in the mountains.

In the originally calm and desolate mountains and rivers, a muddy road was suddenly imprinted with footprints in the shape of iron boots.

As far as the eye could see, the paladins and soldiers of the brigade were densely packed, covering almost the entire mountain. Originally, the realm where demonic beasts were prevalent, but at this moment, even the shadow of a bird and beast could be seen, and the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"Your Excellency, here we are. ”

The paladin, who was at the front, stopped, turned around, and reported to the bishop behind him.

The Bishop nodded, looking ahead. Their position at the moment was an open mountain road, and at the end of the mountain road, he could faintly see a valley.

In the valley, there is a settlement that the church has been searching for many years.

Christine...... You really didn't lie to me. The bishop lowered his eyes, as if muttering to himself.

"What did you say, Your Excellency?"

"Nothing. The Bishop raised his head again, his indifferent expression was like a soulless puppet, which made people feel cold, "Is the ambush around the Silent Academy ready?"

The paladin nodded: "There are large groups of people in ambush in the surrounding mountains, and they can surround the Silent Academy at any time." ”

The bishop praised in a tone of non-warmth: "Well done." ”

Then, he turned his head to look at the boy who was following him.

"Benjamin. He whispered, "The place has arrived, are you ready?"

Behind the bishop, Grant stood there with a somewhat numb expression. Hearing this, he glanced ahead, was silent for a moment, and nodded.

The bishop stared at Grant for a moment, but didn't say anything, instead turning his head to look back at the paladin in front of him.

He nodded at the paladin.

"Then let's attack. ”

It was like the first line after the curtain of the theater opened, and he said it slowly in a calm and cold voice.

Through the Vision, orders were communicated to every ambush army in the vicinity. In this way, in the drowsy afternoon, countless paladins and soldiers suddenly poured out, like man-eating ants pouring out of their nests, and rushed towards that valley.

The roar of killing shook the whole mountain.

The bishop, Grant, and a group of priests they led followed and flew into the valley. Soon, the appearance of the entire Silent Academy finally appeared in their eyes.

It was a large village built in the middle of the mountain. Most of them are retro-style bungalows, and there are quite a few of them, perhaps hundreds of houses. In the middle of the village is a clearing with a strange-looking altar in the middle.

And around that altar, nearly a thousand mages had gathered.

Instead of panicking, the mages opened their arms and chanted a simple and strange incantation in unison to the altar in front of the soldiers rushing from all directions.

Extremely powerful mana fluctuations spread.

The charging soldiers and paladins were affected by it, and even lost their minds for a moment.

"Cain's sacrificial plate. The bishop said to Grant behind him, "See? That's Cain's tool for demonic power." After all these years, these people still keep it. ”

Grant glanced at him from a distance, but his expression did not change, as if he was indifferent to everything around him.

As they spoke, the altar in the Silent Academy changed. Outside of the light element, countless elements surged towards the center of the altar, like an elemental tornado.

Then, a huge elemental barrier appeared, covering the entire valley.

The paladins and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they were blocked out by the barrier.

Of course, at this moment, there were already tens of thousands of people outside the valley, and they would naturally not be afraid in the face of an enchantment. The paladin drew his blessed sword, and the soldier waved the blade in his hand. Even the priests in the air chanted, and the holy light bullets struck the barrier like a meteor shower.

Boom! Boom!

The fierce offensive was round after round, and the ground in the vicinity really shook at this moment.

However, the Elemental Enchantment stood as strong as ever. The valley inside the barrier didn't even feel the slightest vibration, and it was so calm that it was like two worlds from the outside.

Nearly a thousand mages gathered around the altar, opening their arms and bowing down to the altar continuously. They were chanting something they didn't understand, as if they were performing some ancient ritual.

And in the center of the altar, a little white light shone, and it seemed to have some kind of wonderful connection with the elemental barrier.

The attacks from the outside continued, and the mages inside did not stop. The Elemental Enchantment was like an impassable barrier, and no matter how the Church's men attacked, it didn't show any signs of decline.

Gradually, the soldiers' faces showed fatigue. But the order had been given, and they could not stop, but gritted their teeth, waved their sore arms, and continued to cut forward.

Even the priests' faces were not very good-looking.

"See? This is the power of the Cain Sacrificial Plate. ”

In the sky, only the bishop and Grant did not move, still maintaining a calm posture. The bishop pointed to the altar and said to Grant.

Grant still didn't speak, just nodded.

The bishop turned his head, and although his expression still did not fluctuate, for some reason, there seemed to be a hint of displeasure.

He glanced at the troops below again, and suddenly said, "Don't waste too much time. Now that you've seen enough, let's get the hang of it. ”

Hearing this, Grant was silent for a moment, but nodded anyway.

And just like that, in stark contrast to the desperately attacking team below, he slowly stretched out his right hand.

He tapped lightly at the altar.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, as if coming from the inside of the valley, and time froze for it. Everyone present was stunned. Then, when they came back to their senses and looked forward, the elemental barrier in front of them suddenly collapsed like cracked glass.

The whole valley seemed to be quiet.

Immediately after, there was another crackling sound. I saw that on the altar surrounded by nearly a thousand mages, a crack suddenly appeared.

The rift spread rapidly, and soon the entire altar was covered. Soon, under the stunned eyes of the mages, the altar collapsed and turned into a fragment, and the little white light disappeared without a trace.
