The heavily hired guards formed a circle and cautiously and slowly approached Nyam. They were all experienced mercenaries, and they could see that the young man dressed as a nobleman in front of them was very strong.

When it comes to the Cult of Dawn, one has to mention the two legions of hand-to-hand combat: the Avengers and the Knights of Dawn. If the former is a ragtag army of criminals, outcasts, and ringbreakers, then the latter is a well-born regular army. Aside from the difference in identity, in terms of strength alone, the Knight of Dawn is stronger, and the mercenaries prefer that this intruder is a revenge army, of course, this is just wishful thinking.

As a future Knight Master focused on training, Neam also knew that the Sect and Hohenheim had a secret agreement that was made before the invasion of the undead. At that time, during the most difficult stage of the Zhengzhi Northern Campaign, the Natural Alliance suffered heavy losses in the north, and some nobles were bribed by the undead and refused to send troops. In order to appease and win over Hohenheim, who was at the heart of the war, the high priest at the time made a last resort decision to let Hohenheim's slave trade go. Anyway, the dwarves and gnomes did not send troops to fight against the undead, so they used the hands of Hohenheim and the night elves to teach the dwarves and gnomes who thought they lived underground and that the war could not spread to their heads.

Later, the northern battle was defeated, the natural alliance was broken, the undead went south, the self-isolation of the pillar of the earth led to the ferocity of a series of animals and plants, the grain production of the land eroded by the dead air became more and more severe, and the living environment of human beings deteriorated.

Long before the Hall of Mirrors meeting, the High Priest had discussed with the priests and elders of the sect that it was time to terminate the secret agreement that had lasted for fifty years. This is not to curry favor with Link, the Child of Nature, but for the sake of the soon-to-be-reactivated Anti-Undead Alliance. To empty the dwarves and gnomes, it is necessary to abolish the slave trade, which has been uninterrupted since the Silver Age. Previously, by the number of races and the suppression of Hohenheim. Humans have conquered and enslaved many species on the Big 6, and now, the undead tide that has lasted for hundreds of years has greatly reduced the strength of Hohenheim's mages, and the rising undead have also eaten away at the territory that once belonged to the Silver Empire.

Neham's travels were nominally a routine training for the succession to the position of head of the regiment, but in reality. Not only was he tasked with following the Children of Nature to monitor the seal of the dragon heirs, but he also received a secret order from the High Priest to use Link's hand to get rid of the Nax slave market, which had been a cancer for fifty years.

thought that Link's purpose was to get into a big trap and would inevitably pass through Nax City, so Neam didn't make detailed arrangements, but Link didn't play his cards according to reason, which made Neam very angry. Not only angry that he was overconfident, but also angry that Link's words didn't count, and he just made a guarantee to the great priest. Before leaving Valolet, he threw himself off. Fortunately, their purpose was Nax City, and if he suddenly turned a corner and went to Xindu, he didn't know where to put his face, and before leaving, he patted his chest and promised the high priest that he would definitely complete the task.

At the thought of this, Neham's anger erupted as if it were a figurative thing. His personality is introverted, unlike other fanatics in the sect, but anyone who violates the teachings of Dawn in the slightest is regarded as depraved and evil, and will be killed. But he had lost his mind just now. Kill all the thugs who stand in the way, and leave no one behind. This goes against Neham's code of not killing the weak, which he attributes to being influenced by the children of nature.

From the first time they met, Neham didn't like Link. I hate his casualness, I hate his hypocrisy, and the most hateful thing is that he doesn't play cards according to common sense, and he does whatever he thinks. Completely disregard the feelings of others, let alone the overall situation!

In terms of personal feelings, Doyle is pitiful and innocent, but she bears the blood of the demon dragon and is once furious. It will be a catastrophe no less than that of the undead. The power of the awakened gods is amazing, except for the sages of Hohenheim, only the high priest can fight, whether they are injured or killed, it will be an immeasurable loss to the human race. In terms of the overall situation, even if he couldn't bear it in every way, Neam would only be like the Great Priest, ruthlessly trying to kill Doyle before she fully awakened.

After learning the story of Doyle's awakening from the High Priest, Neam was both happy and sad. The good news is that Doyle still survived after awakening, after all, they have lived together for more than ten years, and he has always regarded her as a relative, and taught her as a mentor. The worry is that Doyle is completely tied to Link, and the Son of Nature's style of acting is superficially orderly, but Neckem sees his disregard for the inherent rules of the world and the rebellion hidden in his personality from Link's repeated interventions with the aristocracy. That's a very dangerous sign that once you degenerate into a punisher...... The consequences are unimaginable, and Doyle, who is already a descendant of the Demon Dragon, will fall into the abyss and never turn over.

Neam's fears proved to be correct, and Link's laissez-faire attitude brought Doyle close to a rampage, and although it was eventually suppressed, his already modest opinion of Link was completely at rock bottom.

Is it appropriate to let such a person shoulder the burden of saving Big 6? Why would the High Priest bet his hope on this guy? Could he be the next Hicks?

In a matter of seconds, a barrage of unanswerable questions flashed through Neam's mind. Looking at the shrinking encirclement, his suppressed anger exploded again, and he said coldly to the mercenary: "For the sake of the tiger, it will be punished together." ”

The guards stopped in unison, they looked at each other, and finally looked at the head of the slave market, the mage Oro.

Oro is not a fool, although his rank is not as good as Daoul, who is with Fred, he is the most trusted subordinate of Old Nax, if it were not for his lack of talent, with the time he followed the old city lord, the position of Xi disciple would never reach Ulle.

Long before the invasion of the undead, Hohenheim made a secret agreement with the Dawnists not to interfere and not to investigate the slave trade. Now, the Knights of Dawn, who are high-ranking cultists, have not only entered the city of Nax, but also appeared in the slave market, which is enough to prove that the Cult of Dawn has broken its agreement with Hohenheim.

Oro had only one thought in his heart - to stop Neem, no matter what, he couldn't let him leave alive! Even if the world knew that Nax was the largest slave market in Big 6, he couldn't let the Dawn Sect officially enter it. Otherwise, what awaits them will be an even worse end than that of the Kolk royal family.

The times are different, and under pressure, Hohenheim may give up and not ...... Yes will definitely give up Nax City. Low-level mages like them, who are not of high rank and are personally involved in the slave trade, will only be used as scapegoats, let alone themselves, even the city lord Fred, and even old Nax.

"Kill him!" Oro gave the order to fight to the death, "let him run, none of us will survive!"

With that, Urro raised his wand, but it wasn't Neam that he was aiming at, but a pile of cages in the distance. The blazing flames turned into fiery serpents, and they rushed at the slaves who had no ability to resist and could not escape.

"Vera!" Link snorted, and Vera soared into the air as if she had grown wings, chasing the fiery serpent in no way inferior to spells.

Aoro let out a 'huh', then squinted at Link, who had appeared because of the Knight of Dawn and had been put aside for the time being.

This guy ...... Are you in league with Dawn Knights?

Of course, he noticed the constriction of Neham's pupils when he saw Link, and it was only because of his naked disgust that he didn't think about it, and now ...... He wasn't sure.

In a split second of Oro's distraction, Neuem moved, raised his hand, and began to summon the Lightblade Sword, the symbol of the Dawn Knight. The guards attacked at about the same moment, trying to defeat Neham before the Lightblade could fully manifest. Knowing that the Dawn Knight had magic to defend themselves, in order to survive, they still took the plunge.

Qiang――

Not surprisingly, the invisible barrier blocked the weapons that stabbed from all directions. After missing the blow, the hired mercenaries did not rush further, but turned and fled in all directions, leaving Oro alone to face Neem, who was armed with a blade of light. These people are thinking about the same thing - saving their lives, even if the Dawn Knight will not let them go, it is impossible to catch them all, as for who is the fish that slips through the net, it is up to each of them to do their own thing.

Unlike the Avengers, the Knights of Dawn are the strongest combat force of the Dawn Sect, not only proficient in hand-to-hand combat, but also have learned various auxiliary magic techniques, and fighting monsters has made them the nemesis of mages.

Knowing that he was not an opponent, Oro pretended to be calm, in fact, his hand holding the wand was already trembling slightly, facing Neuom, who was silent but had a gloomy face, Aoro retreated step by step, and after a few steps, his back suddenly cooled, and the mysterious man who arrived earlier than the Knight of Dawn blocked the way.

Even if he is not low in rank and can fight to a draw with the Knight of Dawn, he should not block his back road. Don't......

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are. Link avoided the importance and played tongue twisters with the other party.

The corners of Oro's mouth twitched, and an ugly expression was pulled.

Darn......

"Sure enough......" Link said thoughtlessly.

Neam frowned, tilted his head slightly, and looked down the passage behind him.

He had felt this aura up close not long ago, the city lord Fred and the staff mage Daoul. It should be chased by the blood...... If you had known it earlier, you might have been able to delay it for a while.

"There is not enough success, and there is more than failure. Link turns on taunt mode, squeezing the last sanity in Neham's head. The fury turned into a golden sword press, slashing towards the artificially dug path. Sand and gravel fell, and the road was blocked in an instant.

"The city lord is surrounded by a master-level mage. Link alluded to the pointlessness of such delays.

"How long do you want to stand here and watch, isn't it your job to rescue the imprisoned victims?" replied Neam with a cold face.

Link let out a 'tsk' and turned and ran towards the chaotic market.

"The guy in the way is gone. Neham's cold, ice-hard voice made Oro's body tremble, "In the name of the morning light, punish the wicked who violate the order." ”

The word of punishment made Oro feel rebellious, and he swung his wand to attack, but the target was not the Knight of Dawn, but the blocked pathway. For the sake of today's plan, only by uniting Daoul against the Knights of Dawn can there be a glimmer of life. (To be continued......)
