"Austin Candidate Austin, what do you mean by that?"

Gunther, who walked into the army command tent of the Knights of the Holy Sword, and several senior commanders of the Knights, all looked at the things in the tent in surprise at this moment.

To be precise, it should be several people wearing the clothes of the soldiers of the Yanlong Church who were tightly bound by ropes and forcibly pushed to the ground by several white-robed people. Some of them are humans, some are orcs, and even goblins and lizardmen.

It is the embodiment of the unique racial inclusiveness of the Yanlong Church.

Speaking of which, Gunther also admired the evil dragon Ello a little in his heart, and at the same time as an arrogant evil dragon, he was able to accept subordinates of different races, and even allowed believers of different races to coexist peacefully with each other, at least not fighting.

That doesn't sound like anything special, but ...... Gunther knew that some gods couldn't even do that.

Not to mention the god of light he believed in, who was famous for his justice and fairness, even the eternal god of the Eastern Continent, who claimed to be the equality of all things, explicitly forbade people related to the dead to enter his church.

As for the Yanlong Church, although Gunther didn't know much about the situation, he had heard that this church did not explicitly prohibit any type of people from becoming Yanlong's followers.

After a brief period of distraction, Gunther quickly came back to his senses, only to see that the mysterious people were all dressed in slender white robes, and their faces were shrouded in shadows by deep hats, and their bodies were faintly covered with a layer of mist.

His heart swelled, he knew that it was an elemental creature called a light spirit.

Legend has it that there are countless light elements in the kingdom of the god of light, some of which have been elevated to a higher status by the god of light.

As bearers of the will of this powerful god, they are assigned ambassadors and advisors to their most loyal followers.

Spectral are radiant creatures that shimmer with a glow that blinds their enemies. Therefore, in order to avoid accidentally injuring comrades-in-arms and weak innocents, when they appear in front of ordinary people, they will cover up with a long robe.

In addition, it is said that there is an even more powerful elemental creature called Flare on top of the Spirit. These beings are spirits of light who have been given higher duties by the god of light.

They will be bathed directly in the pure aura of the gods and are considered the embodiment of justice. They are terrifying to their enemies on the battlefield, because you must find a good moral reason to defeat the Flare, or you will be guilty of this sin for the rest of your life.

All in all, this light elemental creature that appeared in front of Gunther's eyes showed that Austin's status in the Holy See, at least in the Pope's mind, was probably far beyond Gunther's previous imagination.

"Spirit...... It seems that the previous rumors that Austin accepted the soul inheritance of the God of Light are true. ”

Suppressing the faint awe in his heart, Gunther turned to the young warlock wearing the divine mask and asked intently, "Can you mobilize such a cutting-edge power...... Apostle candidate, what exactly do you want to do? If it's just to search for the whereabouts of Iroh and the remnants of the Flame Dragon Church, these forces are already a bit more powerful than necessary......

"Hehe, since Commander Gunther has made such a guess, let's say it clearly. Austin took the lead in stepping forward, standing behind several soldiers of the Yanlong Church who were tightly bound, and pressed his right hand wearing white gloves on the shoulder of one of them: "These people are all soldiers of the Yanlong Church, and they are all part of the source of trouble in various parts of the Western Continent...... You are all elite knights of the Holy See, so it is only natural that you should get rid of these rebels. ”

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "I—I'm not from the Yanlong Church, I'm just an adventurer, they forcibly subdued me, and then changed into the clothes of the Yanlong Church—"

"It's noisy. Austin motioned for the Light to gag the other's mouth, "I'm a candidate apostle for the Supreme Inquisition, my words...... Do you have any objections?"

"I think that's too reckless, we should at least investigate it first—" An officer of the Order tried to question Austin, after all, it was really not in line with the Holy See's position to declare someone a heretic without giving any evidence, as Austin did.

But only half of his words came to an abrupt end like a duck with its neck broken, and a white light that seemed to be like substance rushed through the tent, and before the strong wind dissipated, there was an extra hideous human head in the hand of a light warrior beside Austin.

The headless corpse fell on its back under the action of gravity, spurting blood two or three meters high from the broken neck, and the sharp "snort" sound, which flowed on the ground in a short time, accumulating into a pool of blood.

"You-"

This time the words were even shorter, and as soon as the other senior officer raised his arm and pointed angrily at Austin, a large fist-sized hole suddenly opened in his chest, and in the flash of light that should have been holy, a light warrior standing to Austin's right clenched his palm silently, and the flesh that had existed as a "heart" a moment ago spilled out of his fingers and shattered into pieces of minced flesh.

"You need to understand that I'm not talking to you right now......," Austin said indifferently, leaning his elbows on the shoulders of the "Cult of the Burning Dragon" who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, in a posture that seemed familiar but was actually humiliating, enjoying their anger and fear.

"I am the candidate apostle of the Supreme Inquisition, and here my word is righteousness!"

“...... I know. ”

These words were squeezed out of Gunther's teeth almost word by word, and he now hated the weakness of his strength so much that now even his own life and death were under the control of this man.

Of course, objectively speaking, Gunther is not weak in the legend, but compared to the demigod Austin, it is still too far behind.

Even Austin's Light Warriors are all legends!

Must be held back...... Gunther gasped hard, he knew that this indifferent young man in front of him really dared to kill him!

Moreover, looking at Austin's actions, this time he is obviously looking for an excuse to take the Knights of the Holy Sword for himself!

On the surface, the Holy See of Dawn aims at harmony and mutual assistance, but in fact, the competition between the four branches is still very serious.

The Supreme Inquisition and the Inquisition, as violent institutions of the Holy See, have a long history of deep contradictions, and the Congregation of Ceremonies and the Congregation of the Holy Spirit look down on each other.

But the metal dragon clan is different, although the golden dragon vein and the brass dragon vein almost do not participate in the affairs of the holy dragon city, but the other three vein dragon clans are all united around the silver dragon leader, the Star Shadow Venerable, and obey his orders.

From a certain point of view, the metal dragon clan, which seems to be estranged, is actually much more united than the Holy See.

With anger and the humiliation and hatred of being persecuted, Gunther and his party slowly walked towards a group of desperate people, ready to act according to Austin's orders. But at this moment, a sudden change occurred-

"The first on the left, the fifth on the right.

As Austin's indifferent voice sounded, the silhouettes of the two light warriors standing silently on either side of his body became blurred and illusory again, and the white light shuttled and moved, and the entire camp tent became eerie and cold......

Two clusters of golden light swept by, and the body of the first senior officer on the left side of Gunther's party was abruptly cut off by the waist, while the fifth officer on the right was split in half diagonally from his left shoulder to his right hip.

"What do you mean?!"

For a moment, even Gunther couldn't help but let out an angry shout.

"The heart beats significantly faster, the blood vessels dilate slightly, the blood flow increases, the adrenaline secretion increases, the eyes flicker, and the fingers flutter inadvertently...... Is this forcibly suppressing one's anger, sorrow, and pain?"

Quietly monitoring the slightest changes in everyone's bodies with his mental power, the corners of Austin's mouth behind the mask turned up slightly, and a mocking smile was raised: "In front of me...... If you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be a little bit like it. ”

You have to hold back...... This guy is deliberately provoking, otherwise he will definitely kill us all!

Unprecedented anger and hatred were like a giant beast that rushed left and right in Gunther's heart.

The knight leader clenched his hands into fists at the moment, his nails digging deep into the flesh of his palms. Although he wanted to take a step forward and smash the mask on Austin's face with a punch, he had to do his best to suppress his anger...... If he dies, everything will be over, but if he can survive, he is confident that one day in the future, he will return all this shame!

"Shoot fast enough to try to alleviate your pain...... There's only so much I can do for you. Gunther took a deep breath and dropped his sword, ending the life of an innocent citizen with the utmost subtlety, as did the rest of the senior officers.

Instructing the Light Spirit Warriors to dispose of the corpses of these "Flame Dragon Church Warriors" and several high-ranking officers who had just been killed, Austin slowly walked to the side of Gunther and his party standing in a line, and chuckled: "You have all behaved well, and I believe that His Majesty the Pope will be pleased to know your loyalty......

"What else is going on with you?" said Gunther's tone, as if it could explode at any moment.

"It's okay. Austin was still laughing, and he turned away.

"But I personally hope that your loyalty will be more concrete...... For example, let me feel it too. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Austin walked out of the tent, and the light warriors followed, and after a while, calm was restored in the tent.

"Damn, I'm afraid the Holy Sword Knights can really only obey his orders for the time being!"

Gunther chased after him in a few steps, but when the curtain was lifted, he found that Austin was no longer visible outside the tent. You know, this is the core command camp of the Knights, and he disappears when he disappears under the gaze of thousands of elite knights...... It's really quite scary.
