As soon as they entered the mountainside stronghold, Edward and the others saw that Reliana was arguing with a middle-aged man in a red papal robe, and the content seemed to be about him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the quarrel between the two, Edward learned that this was the priest of the Holy See of Andrste, and his mouth was unabashedly full of disgust for Edward, and he believed that Edward was the culprit of this disaster and must be sentenced to death!

Reliana was clearly not good at arguing, and her soft-spoken but well-reasoned words had little effect on the angry priest.

Kassandra had a look of disgust, and although she was the Pope's right hand, she didn't seem to have much affection for these priests, who were full of doctrine and had no regard for the lives of others. When she took Reliana's place and argued with her in harsh words, the priest was immediately speechless by questioning.

"I'm curious to know why you insist on executing me until you have the truth of the matter?" interjected Edward, "just because I was at the scene of the disaster, or did my presence affect the authority of those of you who would be expected to ascend to the papal throne?"

Edward's sharp words made Kassandra and Reliana look sideways, they didn't expect that this mysterious man who was proficient in combat and spells could also understand politics.

Edward was not interested in politics, but he was the head of the Demon Hunter Knights after all, and he had been heard and seen by Ania as a political official for a long time, so he still understood such a simple truth.

"No one cares what you think, son of the devil!" said the priest, "you are now the recognized culprit, and everyone has seen you come from that great chasm, destroying the Holy Ash Temple and all human lives!"

"I doubt that a man with a mouth full of death sentences is qualified to say the sacred word life?" said Edward, looking contemptuously at the priest, "I cannot control my fall, but I can control my next actions, and I will let everyone know that I am not a son of the devil, but a savior who comes down in the moment of disaster." ”

Edward had seen many disgusted glances at him since his travels, and he had come to realize that instead of being stared at with disgust, it would be better to simply admit that he was the "Pioneer of Andest", which would give the people who had believed in Andest's teachings a sense of expectation.

Reliana looked at Edward with a scrutinizing gaze, this man who fell from the sky was full of mysteries, but what he showed was a very upright and righteous person, as if he was a savior in times of crisis, as he said?

"We must close the biggest rift in the Ash Temple. Kassandra looked at the chasm at the top of the mountain, "But Frostridge Mountain is overrun by a large number of demons, and our forces are limited, so some strategy must be employed. My point of view is for some soldiers to contain the demons from the main road, and we will form elite squads to attack the top of the mountain from the small road. ”

"Don't bother. Edward's first rejection of Kassandra's strategy made the other party frown a little, but Edward's explanation soon dispelled his concerns.

"This catastrophe has killed too many people, and I don't want to see more soldiers killed by the Darkborn. "And the current situation is that the mass death of the Holy See has caused chaos, and if we want to carry out the cause of closing all the rifts in the entire continent, we must attract more supporters in this battle!"

"And, I'll show people that I'm not a son of the devil. Edward finally said firmly.

"It's just reckless. Unaware of Edward's strength, Reliana objected, "You want to lead your soldiers to attack the top of the mountain head-on? ”

"No, I think so, Reliana. Kassandra vetoed, "Edward's strength is strong, and judging by the way he looks, he seems to be proficient in leading the army?"

"That's right, it's your turn to fight, I'm an expert. Edward said, "In the face of a strong enemy, containment is a sign of cowardice, and only courage can make more people survive the battle." ”

When all the soldiers began to storm the top of the mountain, everyone witnessed Edward's bravery. Edward's courage was not a pre-battle mobilization, nor a detailed arrangement, but the most direct encouragement brought by his own courage—the son of the devil, who was called a two-handed sword, rushed straight to the front. He seemed to have no shield to resist, but he easily withstood the spell attacks of many demons.

"Isn't this guy afraid of death?" Varyk stammered, for a man like him who wielded a bow and crossbow, such a charge was simply looking for death.

"That's courage. Solas looked at Edward as he charged into battle with an inexplicable gaze, "Aren't you noticing that these soldiers don't have the fear of encountering a demon for the first time? ”

"But the problem is that he seems to be running out of his way?" said Reliana as she looked at Edward's recklessness as she shot her bow and arrow, "Courage is admirable, but it's a bit foolish to die like this. ”

"It's not that simple!Everyone, follow me up to help our warriors!" Kassandra raised her sword and shield and rushed out of the array first, hurrying to Edward's support.

Edward did underestimate the strength of these Darkspawns a bit, and at the same time overestimated his current abilities. He seemed to have forgotten that he was not a demigod now, nor did he have the powerful magic resistance and adaptability of the Li family demon hunters, nor did he have the protection of a powerful protective holy light - he was just a management warrior with a hero-level magic crystal, not even a paladin.

But it is undeniable that Edward, who was already scarred all over his body, gave the soldiers great courage and completely changed the way he was the son of the devil.

A magical barrier covered Edward's body, and soon another familiar figure raised his shield in front of Edward, blocking many of the green Darkspawn's spell attacks for him.

"Thanks, Kassandra. Edward breathed a sigh of relief and cast several natural rejuvenation spells on himself, allowing the wounds on his body to heal quickly under the moisture of the natural elements.

"Is it worth it?" Kassandra asked, turning her back to him.

"Of course it's worth it, every life here is worth saving. Edward smiled and stepped past Kassandra's defenses once more, charging towards the demon horde with the swarming soldiers.

This time, he learned to be obedient, using the power of the earth to put a rock armor on his body, and then cast an arcane barrier outside, before rushing to the front and killing.

Kassandra looked at Edward's back and smiled bitterly, this is really a strange man who can't be guessed.
