After the soldier's explanation, Lancelot also had some understanding of the cult he was talking about.

This is a cult that believes in the snake god, and the name is called the snake god cult, and they believe that the first god in the world to appear is the snake god.

And the gods of later mythology were born from the excrement of the snake god, yes, that's how they describe the gods of the Holy See and the Deep Blue Cross.

The followers of the Snake God Cult worship snakes frantically, believing that they are the descendants of the gods, and when the Snake God Cult is still raging in the north, they will hold a large-scale sacrifice every year, using live people to sacrifice to the snake god.

In fact, it is to throw the living into the snake cave.

This cruelty angered the northern nations, and they united to carry out several sieges and suppressions in the north, but the Serpent God Cult survived every time.

After disappearing for a while, it will come back again.

The northern countries have been entangled with it for hundreds of years, and finally in Jason's grandfather's generation, they seized an opportunity to trap the main high-level leaders of the Snake God Sect on a mountain, but the Snake God Sect has also had its advantages in being able to entangle with the northern countries for so long.

That is, they have tens of thousands of believers scattered in the north, and they also have their own armed force, the Pit Viper Cavalry Regiment.

At the same time, at that time, the Holy See also put down most of the voices against the Holy See in the south, and their ambitious eyes were set on the north, and the heresy of the Serpent God Cult just gave them an excuse to march into the north.

But fortunately, Jason's grandfather united with the northern countries in time to completely smash the main force of the Snake God Cult, otherwise I am afraid that the purpose of the Holy See will really be achieved.

Since then, the resistance of the northern kingdoms to the Holy See has intensified.

It's just that in that war, not only the Viper Cavalry Regiment of the Snake God Cult was wiped out, but even their church leaders had been wiped out, and it stands to reason that they had no possibility of resurrection.

So Lancelot thinks it's probably just some speculation.

As for the identities of these people, they can only be completely clarified through contact.

According to the bearded bandit, the "devil's gathering place" he found was less than a thousand people.

Therefore, Lancelot was confident that with his soldiers, there was no need to fear them at all, but the time to cross the wasteland would be delayed.

But there is another point that makes Lancelot a little suspicious, that is, although those suspected of the snake god cult behaved abnormally, it was not enough to let these bandits mistake them for devils.

So he asked his question very simply, and the bearded bandit answered it very cooperatively: "They live in the heart of the wasteland, and I saw with my own eyes that another gang of bandits was dazed and wanted to rob them of their food and treasure, but one of those devils just waved his hand, and a great flame fell from the sky, and the bandit group of hundreds of people was gone!"

When he said this, the bearded bandit couldn't help but tremble again, and he could see that the situation at that time had cast a great shadow on him.

"It's a mage. ”

Lancelot's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he spit out a few words solemnly, he may have now figured out why the Lopez Kingdom wanted to exterminate the Snake God Cult, which had only a few tens of thousands of armed forces, but it had to unite other countries to send no less than 400,000 troops.

Why did the Holy See send the Knights Templar to the north, even though they knew that the northern kingdoms did not welcome them?

It is very likely that there are mages in the Snake God Sect, and the number of such people is not too large, and only a few dozen people can unite to influence the existence of a war.

He had also seen Jason and Tobin make a move, and although there were only two of them, they could still release spells that threatened the Earth Knight when combined with the magic array.

If Jason has enough mages, he may be able to defeat the Third Legion head-on, which is why the Holy See expelled mages.

Once they join forces, the power they can explode is truly terrifying.

After learning that there were mages on the other side, Lancelot decided to get rid of this team that was suspected of being a remnant of the Serpent God Sect, he didn't want his retreat to be cut off by these people after he went deep into the province of Gelen.

At this time, the slightest accident cannot happen.

"Do you remember where those people were?"

Thinking of this, Lancelot glanced at the frightened bearded bandit, and then asked lightly.

It's just that his words almost scared the other party into tears.

Now the bearded man's heart is really miserable, originally Lancelot meant to let him lead them through the wasteland, he was worried that he would run into the group of devils who spit fireballs in their hands and expressed his worries, and hoped that the general would retreat.

What I didn't expect was that my words did move him, but the effect was exactly the opposite of what I expected.

"Take us there, you still have a chance to live, and you can even get some rewards, but if you refuse, I can order you to be killed now, I think in addition to you, those friends of yours should be willing to cooperate with me." ”

Seeing his stiff expression and struggling eyes, Lancelot knew that he was still short of a fire to overcome, so he calmly threatened the beard.

"I ...... I'll just say yes......" The bearded man's expression struggled for a while, and finally he could only agree in the face of dozens of spear blades.

"I'm not sure I'll ever remember where they were, though, because it's been a long time. The thickest bearded man rolled his eyes and spoke.

"Well, if you can't find it, my soldier will definitely send you on your way, now give him a horse and lead the way. ”

Lancelot saw through his careful thinking at a glance, replied casually, and kindly gave him a horse, as for the other bandits, they were not treated so well, and they could only follow the group.

"Yes, my lord......" The bearded bandit had a bitter expression, knowing that his careful thoughts had been seen through, so he could only lead the way in front as if he were resigned to his fate.

At noon the next day, they came to the foot of a cliff that was neither high nor low, and there were no people here, but there were traces of human life.

And there is also a huge python painted on the cliff wall.

"Sure enough, it's the remnants of the Serpent God Cult, are they going to make a comeback again?" Lancelot's expression was ugly, and it seemed that even if Jason survived this war, he would still face a lot of threat.

The hatred of the Serpent Cult towards the royal family of Lopez is even deeper than that between the Holy See and the Deep Blue Cross.
