In the middle of the night, the High Priest urgently summoned the High Priest Arisina and Neham, who had already assumed the position of head of the regiment.

"Grantham is lost. ”

It's not that there's an accident, it's not that there's something wrong, it's a definite loss.

"How many people survived?"

Neham still had a hint of luck, and Alysina already understood that Grantham's army and civilians were definitely unlucky, and more importantly, the high priest summoned them urgently at this time, certainly not to inform them of irreparable defeat.

Francesca didn't answer, and his silence made Neum's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.

Annihilated?

Grantham itself is a fortified town, guarded by an avenging army, a temporary garrison of the Overwatch Army, and the homeless, refugee, and wounded...... At least estimated at more than 20,000, it's gone?

"Undead?" clenched his fists, and Neam defined the attacker.

Only the undead of the undead empire could inflict such a heinous massacre.

The High Priest remained silent, and Alysina looked surprised.

It's not the undead? Is it an orc? This ...... Since the fall of Longyan Fort, the monsters that entered the ground through the guò rift have hindered the orcs' northward progress, and at most there will be a small and sporadic harassment, and the damage caused is not even comparable to the low-level undead wandering around.

"Blake had reported that the outcasts in the fortress had disappeared inexplicably, just like the situation in the floating city of Bisar before. In order to find out the truth, he secretly placed magic teleportation devices in many places inside the fortress. Francesca waved her hand, and the magic device placed at her side lit up, and the polished crystal surface reflected a clear image. There was nothing unusual about the crowded places, but in the corners where few people visited, the lone people disappeared one by one.

Neam's eyes widened, making sure he wasn't dazzled. It's 'gone' indeed. There was no omen, not even magic, he had a god-given eye of truth, he could distinguish any false image and spell, as long as it did not exceed his power level, what happened to those who disappeared?

When the High Priest passes the Guò magic device to slow down the recorded effects several times. Neam finally knew that those people had not really disappeared, but had been abluded from the inside out, just too quickly, beyond the limits of human vision.

"High Priest, what is this?" Neham firmly believed that the High Priest had summoned them late at night, not to discuss countermeasures with them, but to have already made a clear decision.

"I searched the collection and couldn't find anything that corresponded to this phenomenon. Francesca habitually pinched her eyebrows. "Blake contacted me for the last time before he lost contact, saying that this was the real culprit of the collapse of the Elven Empire in ancient times, and Commander Dante only learned about this unknown secret because of his ancestors. ”

"You believe?" said Alicina, questioning.

The only thing in the material world that can compare to the Hohenheim collection is the Dawn Sect, and even the High Priest who has many secrets does not know, can Dante's words be believed, even if he is a respected Forge Master.

"I wouldn't believe it if someone else told me, but if it was Dante, it would be true. Their dwarves have mastered the highest art of blacksmithing, and have maintained an extraordinary relationship with the tribes since ancient times. I also know some hidden secrets. Francesca didn't know the reason for the rapid decline of the once-powerful Glow Empire, but he knew why Dante was so revered. You can receive special treatments. But not only because he is a forging master, but also because his clan holds many secrets buried in time.

However, the Ancient Worm was not the reason why Francesca summoned Neuam and Alisina, and the next picture of the magic device made these two high-ranking members of the Dawn Sect, second only to the High Priest, completely stunned.

The heir to the empire supported by the Dawn Sect, the regent's successor who is most compatible with both blood and fame. The Archduke of Befast has fallen! He was followed by another great imperial family, Abigail, who served as consul. What's even worse is that this one's blood relative is Claire, who has just stepped down from the position of a sage. Hohenheim easily ended their years of neutrality, and the disappearance of the Child of Nature would most likely lead to Hornheim's separation from the newly reorganized Alliance.

It's too tricky to handle. Already fragile alliances threaten to fall apart. Although the combat power of the wood elves is stronger than that of the human regular army, it is not comparable to that of mages. Claire is demoted again, and he used to be a sage, not to mention, Hohenheim's faith, the former great sage Bray, and now the position of the new god of magic is very delicate. It was the Children of Nature who had signed an alliance with him, not the Dawn Cult, and if Link did die unexpectedly, Bray would not have violated the contract even if he withdrew from the alliance.

Francesca fears that the death of Link, the child of nature, will cause the alliance of the gods, which had been staunch against the undead, to switch to another ally, the same chaotic night, and the participation of the god of war and the night elves can be counted as her clear statement. The Mother of the Night is resentful of Hicks, the god of death. And the intervention of demons will not help the human kingdom, which is already suffering from internal and external troubles, but will be a great threat no less than the undead.

With the Pillar God preoccupied with his own affairs, both the Wood Elves and Hohenheim are likely to withdraw from the alliance led by the Children of Nature. At that time, humanity will face the undead of the north and the orcs of the south at the same time, as well as the demons behind the orcs.

Even with the power of divine blessing, the high priest was so worried about this that he couldn't sleep at night, and the whole person was a lot haggard.

Neum and Alicina, who held two important positions in the Dawn Sect, had very different ideas, one radical and the other conservative. The former took the initiative to ask to go to Grantham Fortress to check it out, while the latter firmly objected, believing that the nearby Knights should be withdrawn to avoid greater losses.

After arguing for a long time and unable to convince each other, Neham and Alysina both looked at Francesca, and the High Priest shook his head, apparently with other plans.

"People are meant to be sent, but not you. ”

Neham's throat is dry, so who is the better candidate?

"The current Captain of the Knights of the Dawn. ”

It took a few seconds for Neemlen to react, too excited to care about etiquette.

"High Priest, Captain Rams is too old to be fit for this task. ”

Francesca clearly had no intention of changing her mind, and his silence caused Neum to plead again.

"Commander, he ...... Really not suitable for this task, his body is ......"

"Rams's power of light is fading. ”

As if he didn't want Neham to continue. Francesca's sentence completely blocked Neham's defense, and any reason was so pale in the face of the loss of God's favor.

Although the High Priest spoke in an appropriate tone, Neham sensed the deeper meaning behind the words in the subtle changes in his eyes.

In addition to not being religious, the main factor of losing the favor of the gods may be to do something that the gods do not like, and the most terrible of them is to switch to other gods, which is especially punishable.

The current Captain of the Knights of Dawn is not the same as Neham. Rams was born in a commoner, served as a regimental commander for forty years, was known for his fairness and strictness, was both Neham's direct boss and his swordsmanship instructor, Neham's strict and rigid character was also from Ramsi, to say that such a strict knight would betray his faith, Neham did not believe it anyway, but ...... The facts are in front of us again.

Glancing at Neume, who had a blank look on her face, Alysina sighed inwardly.

Although it is not clear why Rams dislikes the gods. But it has absolutely nothing to do with Neham.

In terms of birth and swordsmanship, the young Neham was superior, and his presence directly led Francesca to abandon the idea of promoting Rams to the next High Priest. Originally, this Knight Captain lacked some of the decisions of the current leader, and in the case of a better choice, Rams's position in the Dawn Sect would only stay at the rank of Knight Chief.

Sending Rams to Grantham was clearly intended to allow Rams to 'retire with honor' and die in the title of Knight Captain. It was also Francesca's greatest kindness to his subordinates, who had served as his assistant for forty years.

This is something that Neham also thought of. At this moment, he was extremely conflicted.

I hope that Rams can retain the last dignity and glory, but I don't want to see my respected predecessors become outcasts.

Neam didn't understand that the reason for the fading of Rams's holy power was related to himself, from the original nothing to talk about, to now the unexpected eye contact would be staggered, the comrade who guided and taught him to grow, like a father and a brother, has been distorted by jealousy and resentment. In fact, Neam suffered no less than Rams. He has no right to decide who will be the successor, even the High Priest, and he cannot refuse a gift from the gods.

Alysina opened her mouth several times to speak, but the words that came to her mouth were paused by the embarrassment that permeated the dormitory.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the quiet of the night, followed by slightly panicked footsteps in the hallway.

The three supreme powers of the Dawn Sect looked at the guards who pushed the door in. The carefully trained knights had uncontrollable trepidation on their faces.

"High Priest, come and take a look......"

Francesca scrambled a crack in his carved face, and he hurriedly got up and walked briskly out of his bedchamber, followed by Neam and Alysina looking up at the sky that caused waves of exclamations. The supposedly dark canopy was unfolding an event in another place—an avenging army inscribed with the insignia of the Cult of Dawn would snap the necks of sleeping civilians one after another, and even the occasional awoke resistance would be no match for the well-trained warriors. It didn't take long for the vast valley to be filled with thousands of dead bodies.

Alysina covered her mouth and exclaimed, it was none other than the leader of the Vengeance Legion, Black, who was leading the slaughter of civilians.

At this time, Francesca couldn't maintain his usual calm and calm, and the hand holding the placket of his shirt was exposed, showing that his heart at the moment was no less shocked and anxious than others.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night, not only in Xindu, but also in the sky above large and medium-sized towns everywhere There were magical images of the avenging army slaughtering civilians, and many people who were already asleep were awakened by the sound from above their heads, and when they pushed open the doors and windows, they saw the scene that made them tremble in the deep troubled world.

People are both panicked and puzzled, why do the avengers do anything to civilians? The Cult of Dawn worships Ilias, the god of light and justice, and is one of the most unlikely sects to slaughter civilians.

However, the scene then suddenly turns into a magnificent fortress, and even those who have never seen it in person know that it is the front line of resistance against the undead - Grantham. This residential and military fortress is not only the front base of the avenging army, but also the temporary home of the 'Watchtower', another force that resists the undead.

The Avengers slaughtered civilians like madness, but what about the other army?

A bad premonition enveloped the hearts of everyone who looked up, and as the image progressed and enlarged, it presented a disgusting picture, countless fortress dwellers dissolved under the faint moonlight, and with their disappearance, the gray-black fog seemed to consciously look for the next prey, and the cries and cries for help echoed in the empty square, as if the scene of the end made every viewer fearful.

"Quick!Find the bastard who played this magical video!!"

Neham shouted angrily, waking up the stunned knight by the tragic image, and since he had been acting as head of the regiment since he had been acting for half a year ago, the members of the knights did not hesitate to carry out the order.

If the first magic image made the high priest show a little surprise, this second magic image made his usually plain face appear a rare anger.

It's been the second day since I lost contact with Grantham, and now it's only now that the situation is played, it's clear that someone with a heart did it on purpose!

Aiden is not only the temporary capital of the United Kingdom, but also the headquarters of the Dawn Sect, which is a provocation and a declaration of war!

Witch King Frost, you are here to demonstrate to me, not only the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, but also the rear of the city, which is regarded as the last pure land of mankind, the Dawn and the base camp of the United Kingdom, do you have your subordinates......

As the supreme leader of humanity and the cult of Dawn, Francesca fears that Grantham's tragedy will be repeated in Aiden. The new capital is 100,000 people, bringing together the last remaining elite of mankind.

Originally, the nobles had already lost the hearts of the people, and if even the Dawn Sect, the only one that could reconcile the contradictions between the two, was classified as oppressing the people at the bottom, coupled with the immortal immortality advocated by the Immortal Empire, there would be no need to wait for the outbreak of the Great War for the human race to perish itself.

Without the support of dwarves and elves, Francesca was confident that he would be able to hold out for a while, but if even the humans themselves were on the opposite side of the Dawn Cult, he wondered if the battle that had begun since Hicks became a god would come to an end.

However, the matter is not over, and the image in the sky changes again.

The rebellion and depravity of the Archduke of Befast, who had high hopes, was a fatal blow to the Dawn Sect, whose prestige had just been greatly reduced in the hearts of the people due to the massacre of civilians by the avenging army.

"What can I do, High Priest?" said Alysisna, who was in charge of political affairs, turned pale, and knew better than anyone how important Gonzalez was to the United Kingdom, and indeed to the Alliance.

No matter the origin or bloodline, it is no less than the deposed former regent royal family, there is no bad habits of nobility, and the divine envoy blessed by the god of war himself, without him, the scattered United Kingdom is even more difficult to restrain it. (To be continued......)
