"Name?"

"Ryan. ”

"Origin?"

"Northwest, Rye Town, Grey Village. ”

"Are you a member of the Thieves' Guild?"

"Yes, belonging to the Rye Town Thieves' Guild. ”

"Strength level?"

"If you fight head-on, you can probably match up with mid-level fighters. But I'm a thief after all, and I'm good at sneaking, hiding, stealing, and identifying ......"

"Understood, assign you to the scout team, take this document to the scout department of the military camp north of the city to find Lord Daemmons Lear, you can ask the assistant officers of the scout camp for specific matters. ”

Leon, who goes by the pseudonym "Ryan", nodded, took the freshly filled paperwork, stamped with the magic mark, and walked towards the north of Eagle Wing City.

Although he hasn't been back for more than thirty years, he still remembers every grass and tree in Eagle Wing City, and when he walks through the city at this moment, he only feels familiar everywhere. However, when I looked closely, I found that everything was wrong with people, and there was a huge difference from the appearance in my memory.

For example, one of his favorite restaurants in his youth, the owner is a mid-level mage who is good at cooking, and every summer he will serve dozens of cold drinks with different flavors, which are both delicate and delicious. But now the store is still there, but the boss is no longer there, looking at the appearance of the shopkeeper, I have a rare feeling of remembering the boss, thinking that it is his child.

For example, he liked a weapon shop very much, and the owner was two people, one was a very old dwarf with a lot of experience in blacksmithing, and the other was a retired adventurer, tall and strong, and muscular enough to be used as armor. But the shop is gone, and a hotel has been built on its site, and if you look closely, the walls seem to have been built later—presumably the two owners also suffered misfortunes during Woods' purge.

There was also a hotel where the palace guards often gathered. The owner of the hotel, who was also a retired court guard, remembered his first drink, and it was here. When he passed by, it was still a hotel, and the signboard had not even changed. Recall carefully that among the people who rebelled with Woods in the first place. Indeed, there were many palace guards......

Leon looked as he walked, his face full of curiosity, and his heart full of nostalgia and emotion.

More than thirty years is not a long time for a legendary powerhouse, and it is just a blink of an eye for the gods. But for a country, for a city, for the civilians who live in cities, it has exceeded the time of a generation.

The city of Eagle Wings that he was familiar with, the city he remembered when he was born and raised. It's changed......

He walked unhurriedly, stopping every now and then to stop in front of a unique landscape and a unique building for a while, and then continue on his way. It doesn't look like it's in a hurry, it's like it's here for a tour.

Just as he was walking on the street of Beicheng District, he suddenly felt the ground shake slightly, and then he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind. So he stepped aside to the side of the road and looked back. But he saw a group of heavily armed knights riding tall horses, running in the direction of the city gate.

Their armor was shining. They can be used as mirrors, they ride horses in a good posture and can be seen to be trained, and they have strong morale and high fighting spirit on their faces, and they will definitely be able to fight valiantly on the battlefield.

But...... Leon sighed secretly.

The faces of these knights were a little immature, they weren't really veterans of many battles, they were a bunch of kids.

On the armor of these knights, he saw the emblem of the god of knights. There is no doubt that these are the members of the Knights of the Church of the Gods of Knights.

"It's strange how the knights who opened up the Knights (Knights' God) Church have joined the battle?" he asked, pretending to be a curious passerby, to a soldier on patrol beside him.

But the soldier was also at a loss. He said he had no idea. But then he happily said, "The Pioneer Knights are the earliest patron saints of our race, and the Knights under his command are powerful and upright guardians, with their help, we will be able to repel the brutal orcs!"

Leon smiled and nodded, said a few perfunctory words, and quickened his pace towards the large military camp outside the north gate.

He was genuinely curious.

The influence of the Church of the God of Knights in the Kingdom of the Eagle is very great, because the Kingdom of the Eagle is currently the only country in the entire main plane continent that still respects the belief in the God of Knights. Although the country has experienced despicable rebellions and bloody purges, even the grand festival of the knightly world, the "Knight Tournament", has been held intermittently. But the accumulation over a long period of time has allowed the god of knights to still maintain an extremely powerful knight order in the country.

It's just that, in the past years, this knight order has never taken the initiative to attack. It is said that it was an oath made by the god of knights not to fight for the heirs of the rebels, the ancestor of the Eagle Kingdom, who once competed with the Lord of Light for the position of the main god of mankind.

But...... Why did the knights under the command of the god of knights go out again this time?

Could it be that this deity, who has been silent for so many years, has finally decided to rise up and show his might?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little excited.

Among the human gods, the god of knights is the most famous and the most revered. In the wild years, it was He who took the lead in stepping into the realm of eternal immortality, and took over the priesthood of "human" from the Mother Goddess, who created human beings but did not give them much protection, and faithfully guarded human beings.

For a long, long time, He has been the presiding god of the human gods. Even later, with the rise of the Floating Slaughter Knight, he finally chose to give up the position of the main god and assist the powerful man who was renamed the Lord of Radiance, but he and his knights are still the most resolute and courageous force to protect the human race. In this era when human beings have gradually indulged in infighting, he is the only one who still adheres to the concept of pioneering and enterprising, constantly marching towards the wilderness, and pointing the sword outside of mankind.

Now he has two aliases, "Pioneer Knight" and "Lonely Guardian". The two are actually two sides of the same coin, saying the same thing.

Only He is still opening up more living space for human beings, and only He is still insisting on the position of resisting all foreign enemies and protecting mankind.

Now, he has finally decided to step into the front line of the battle between humans and orcs again, back to the time before the rebellion of the Eagle God, when he fought side by side against the orc gods?

Leon was very puzzled, and couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart to report the news to Sui Xiong.

Sui Xiong was very curious and contacted Morani, who had been paying attention to this war, and Morani was also very curious, so he simply asked the god of knights himself in the Pantheon.

"That's right, I have issued an oracle calling on all knights who believe in me to put on their armor, take up arms, and go to the Eagle Kingdom to support the human army against the invasion of the orcs. "In the face of Morani's inquiry, god of knights

"Why do you want to participate in this war?" replied to the Knight God, who was silent for a moment, "I can't watch the entire Eagle Kingdom, the ancient kingdom with the longest history of mankind, become a country of orcs. ”

"Orc Realm?" Morani asked, confused.

"Yes, didn't you notice? The current practice of the orcs is to force human men and orc women to have offspring, and human women lose the opportunity to marry and have children. Although this is just a symptom, if the orcs really occupy the entire Eagle Kingdom, they will definitely popularize and persist in this practice, so that in a few generations, there will be no more humans in the Eagle Kingdom, and only half-orcs of half-blood will remain. ”

Morani thought for a moment, shook his head, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with orcs?"

Under the heavy armor, a wry smile came out when a gaze looked at his golden mane and the majestic appearance of his nose and wide mouth.

"Iron Lion" Morani, himself is a half-orc. And he's not a half-orc, he's an awakened pure-blooded lionman.

"There are some things that I insist on. The god of knights calmly replied, "That's it." ”

Morani nodded, thought for a moment, and privately contacted Yol Gardeman, the god of justice, to ask him to find out the Lord of Light.

"I hate that guy!" said Jol Gardeman upset, "don't look for me for this kind of thing!"

Luckily, there is still one of their friends who is barely tall enough to talk to the Lord of Radiance.

The goddess of fortune tried to inquire with the Lord of Light and ask Him what He thought about the matter.

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the human main god with a circle of light condensed behind his head, and he said lightly: "Everyone has his own choice, as long as he is willing to bear the consequences, I respect this choice." ”

"The consequences?" the Goddess of Fortune was taken aback and hurriedly asked, but the Lord of Radiance refused to answer.

But the meaning of His words was worrying enough.

"Could it be that the god of knights will bring huge trouble to himself by doing this?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask, "There are not many of his followers left, and if he buries the most elite knights this time, it may lead to a decline in godhood, right?"

It was His own choice. Morani sighed, "Over the years, he has been pressed by the gods of nobility, and he has become more and more embarrassed. Perhaps he was tired of this kind of life and decided to fight a big battle. ”

“...... And what do the human gods mean?" Sui Xiong looked at Wei Ye, who was sitting next to him.

Viye sighed and shrugged: "Don't ask me, I'm just a supernumerary, really important things, how can I possibly know!"

"Looks like you're not satisfied?"

"Yes!" a dark cloud suddenly appeared on Viye's face, "This orc invasion is clearly premeditated to completely wipe out the entire human race, and that majesty can still sit still, what is this!"

"I wouldn't be surprised at what He did. Yol Gardeman sneered and said, "Oh, good things are exceptional. He even killed the Mother Goddess, and it is not surprising that he now thinks that the senior who guarded us in the first place was too much of an eyesore. ”

The gods looked at each other and sighed in unison.

If Joel Gardeman's guess is correct, then the future of the knight god is really worrying this time! )
