What happened here surprised Helena Murphy.

Monster Village, Sacred Tree, Vanished Stone Slab...... For the first time, she realized that there were so many secrets in the world that the Senate had not yet known. The Eight Plagues were the goal of Helena's long-term quest, at least after Maranfin defected from the Church, she sought something else to distract herself.

And now, her quest finally has an answer.

Thanks to the information of the Dragon Age, Helena deduced the relationship between the Holy Maiden, Akalando, and the Eight Calamities. The only pity is that she has little time left, and she has no more time to stay in this village to carefully review the information left by her predecessors.

"Church headquarters has issued an emergency recall order for you. Helena shrugged.

It wasn't just the wandering Knights of the Round Table who were recalled, every general in the Senate had been summoned back to the Morbius, and Helena couldn't remember how long it had been since the Church and the Senate had been under such total martial law. Henry VI was not idle, the imp must have smelled something unusual, and secretly transferred the garrison on the periphery.

A few days after Lin Qiu and the others left, the imperial capital was still calm on the surface, but this was a harbinger before the storm.

Helena was no stranger to this feeling - on the eve of the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War, the atmosphere of the entire alliance was probably like this. What triggered this series of sudden changes was only a humble letter. The letter contained only a few lines, a declaration of war against Horutiah, but if the name of the Sith was signed at the end of the letter, everything would have been different.

During the Hundred Years' War, various factions had heard of this mysterious name to a greater or lesser extent, and it was often associated with the Cult of Chaos, which was widely believed to be the epitome of fanatical chaos, and was seen as a remnant of the Gorlua of the Akalando period.

But until then, the Sith had always been secretive, he rarely charged into battle himself, but his intrigue was all over the world, and he had never sent a war letter to the Church so openly as he did now, and he actually explained his plans in a war letter directly.

The Sith's goal is Spiral City, and he wants to free the prisoners at the bottom and bring these forgotten evils back to life.

When the Senate's men told Helena the news, she was also shocked.

However, no one would underestimate Sith, and the reason why he dared to provoke so openly must have been carefully planned.

"The headquarters has reached an agreement with the Senate that several Knights of the Round Table will guard the Spiral City Prison, and the Senate will be solely responsible for the outer defense. ”

As a general who has been through countless wars, Helena smells the smoke of gunpowder.

The Sith was by no means the kind of reckless man who went it alone, and if he dared to declare war on the Helutian Alliance, it would mean that the Byronic Empire was likely to have his back.

"Divide the troops. Lin Qiu immediately realized the Sith's intentions.

"Huh, you kid still have a little bit of knowledge. Helena was a little surprised, she and Lin Qiu's views coincided.

But even if they knew the Sith's intentions, they still had to fall into the other party's conspiracy, the church could not allow the fall of Spiral City, and each of the prisoners at the bottom was enough to cause disaster for an era, if these monsters were allowed to see the light of day together, even if they could finally suppress them again, Holutia would be torn apart by the power of those monsters.

"It's not just that. ”

Phoenix suddenly intervened in the conversation: "The Sith needs the power of the monsters at the bottom, and their existence is like a general among the human beings to the Sith. ”

During the First Demon Tide War, every monster at the bottom was the same level of existence as Phoenix and Queen McCallis, and they were appointed to destroy all corners of the continent, in fact, the ancestor-level monsters came from the beginning with the intention of destroying and devouring this world.

Not only that, but every monster locked up in the bottom of Spiral City has devoured the souls of humans, and they have become more powerful than ever. Even with Phoenix's IQ, she could easily deduce this - if she was going to destroy the Imperial Capital, the first helpers she would look for were the monsters at the bottom of Spiral City, and there was no better instant combat power than them.

"Well done, Tyr!" Helena was even more surprised.

The last time she saw Phoenix, the latter had just destroyed half of the church headquarters, and he seemed to be a model of dangerous monsters, and he had only been trained by Lin Qiu to be a three-good monster for the sake of the Helutia Alliance. Coupled with the scene of her crashing when she came here, Helena looked at the two with a hint of ambiguity.

"Where did you think of it! I helped you because I had a grudge against the Sith!" Phoenix blushed and retorted to Helena.

The Sith had been a god in their world, and she could not resist the will of the other. But now it's different, she has absorbed the dragon soul of Leorea, and Leorea is the god of this world, and she is no weaker than the Sith in terms of level. She's fought this war all for herself—for the stray bird she's once driven by the Chaos Cult, for the Sith taking away the power that was rightfully hers!

Probably!

Regardless of whether Helena and Lin Qiu believe it or not, Phoenix himself believed it first - "Don't be sentimental, I only happen to help humans." ”

"Okay...... However, I suggest it's time for you and Alyssa to go back to church. Helena pouted behind the two, Lin Qiu turned her head to look, only to find that Alyssa and the others had come out of the house at some point, as if the conversation between them and Helena had been heard word for word.

Byrne clasped his hands around his chest with a "needless to say" expression.

As a member of the Royal Knights, although he cannot assume the duties of the captain, this does not prevent him from taking it as his responsibility to help the world, in fact, Bourne has long expected that he can devote himself to the vigorous plan to save the world: "You're welcome, this is the duty of a knight!"

Belch......

Actually, no one is going to thank you.

Lin Qiu hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't tell the cruel truth.

"Go ahead and do it, when I have put the Chamber of Commerce in order, I will send reinforcements to the imperial capital to support you. Lilith said.

"Don't forget that the entire Loud Voices Pirates have your back!" Old Jack finally stepped up at the critical moment, in his imagination, he was a great captain with dozens of fleets, and his fleet could knock any incoming enemy back to their homeland with a single salvo.

And the reality is...... "If you have anything to ship back, come to me!"

Old Jack tearfully made the only promise he could make.

Lin Qiu and Alyssa looked at each other for a moment.

He had a hunch that this was the last battle, and he seemed to have something to say to Alyssa, but in this case, he didn't know how to say it.

The same feelings also surged in Alyssa's heart.

The two hesitated, and in the end, they invariably avoided the feeling that surged in their hearts.

"So ......"

"Let's go. ”
