In the year 757 of the Holy Spirit Empire, in the summer, the 'plague' broke out again, spreading to half of the empire at an unexpectedly terrifying speed.

Wali Province, Kuwait Province, Haiman Province, North Gus Province...... A total of thirteen provinces, large and small, have all appeared in the shadow of ghouls.

Although the province of Canaan survived, it was aware of the gravity of the situation.

In the court, the ghoul incident that broke out in Kuwait province last year was brought up by the Pope of the Church of Light.

The Pope implored the Empress to order the use of the power of the Church to send the Knights Templar and the Church priests to suppress the ghouls and find the culprits of the plague and purify them once and for all.

The empress was helpless, unable to shirk it any longer, and finally agreed to the Pope's request.

After more than 100 years, the Church of Light is once again active in the eyes of the world.

I have to mention that the light magic and light fighting spirit of the Church of Light are simply the natural nemesis of ghouls. A low-ranking priest of the Church, unleashing a small spell of light, can often purify a large area of ghouls.

Multiplier.

The prestige of the Church of Light has also risen, and its momentum is so great that it is unparalleled for a while.

In many provinces, almost all of them have built churches of the Church of Light, even the Yuanxin Water City where William is located.

In fact, William was very disgusted by this.

As the governor of Haiman Province, there are ghouls in the province, and he has the duty to find out the source of the epidemic and exterminate all the ghouls.

You must know that most of the provinces are rivers and mountains, and there are few plains. Moreover, almost half of the population of Haimanxing Province has all migrated to Yuanxin Water City, safe and sound.

In other words, although there are many rumors of ghouls in the outside world, there are really not many ghouls in the territory of the other sea manxing province, and they are only occasionally seen wandering ghouls in some secluded and remote mountainous areas.

With this kind of number of ghouls and low combat power, William only needs to send a jackal mercenary group to patrol and encircle and suppress it, and he can sweep away all the ghouls in the Sea Man Province.

But the people of the Church of Light had to meddle in their affairs.

The people of the church carried the queen's decree, and William didn't say much. However, the Templar sent by the Church of Light insisted that William carve out a piece of land in the city for them to build a church.

William did as he was told, and asked Crean to carve out a spacious clearing in the water city. The Templars looked at it, and immediately expressed their displeasure, asking William to change his territory.

Most of the vacant land in the water city has been planned for a long time. Crian was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, so he reported the problem directly to William.

William was furious.

He approached the Templar again and personally negotiated with him for an afternoon, but the result was unsatisfactory.

The Templars made their position and bottom line clear: "At the very least, a piece of land like a football stadium will be given to the Church for the Church to build a church and for the Church personnel to station." ”

And the reason given by the Templars is also high-sounding enough, saying that it is to prevent ghouls, so that the church is set up, once and for all, and there will be no future trouble.

When William heard this, his mood fell to the bottom.

Although he didn't turn against the Templars on the spot, he was almost the same.

He left the Templars in the Duke's Palace, ignoring them and letting the duke's servants entertain them every day.

The Templars received the cold reception and sent a letter to the headquarters of the Church of Light. On the third day, word came from the Church headquarters that a cardinal was being sent to take over the Templar position as soon as possible.

So, the Templars stayed in the Duke's palace and waited.

As the master of the Duke's Palace, William Rest, is ready to take the Jackal Mercenary Group to sweep the ghouls in the province.

William did not deliberately hide this matter. When the Templars learned of this, they laughed and wrote a letter of warning, sending him to him just as he was leaving.

The content of this warning letter is very simple, it is nothing more than exaggerating the power and horror of ghouls, telling that the light and magic of the church naturally restrain ghouls, and make William be careful along the way.

After William read the warning letter, he sneered and tore the letter to shreds.

He was somewhat unimpressed. Soon, however, after William and the others encountered a group of more than thirty ghouls in a remote mountainous area, William discovered the Templars' warning letter, which was not an exaggeration.

These thirty or so ghouls are obviously much more powerful than the ghouls encountered in Kuwait Province before!

It's a bunch of mid-level ghouls!

The strength of every ghoul is almost as strong as that of a good Imperial soldier.

It's not that they're smart enough to use tactics. It's their reaction speed and strength, which is a little too extraordinary.

The Jackal Mercenary Regiment completely surrounded this group of more than thirty ghouls, and it took more than ten minutes of fighting to completely exterminate this group of damned ghouls.

For more than a hundred members of the mercenary group who have cultivated their fighting spirit, it will take more than ten minutes to deal with more than 30 ghouls?

It was just unexpected.

William noticed the gravity of the situation and frowned. The faces of the members of the mercenary group also changed slightly.

If the ghouls in the Sea Man Province have this strength......

Many people are afraid to continue imagining it.

The jackals were also silent.

He sat beside William and watched in silence as the members of the mercenary group gathered the ghoul corpses together, and then ignited and incinerated them, and a huge fire rose into the sky.

A heat wave is coming.

William sat down on a boulder the size of a millstone, rested for a while, got up and said, "Let's go, go to the next village." ”

The jackal nodded, beckoned the members of the mercenary group, and the team of more than a hundred set off again, heading for the 'Villali Town' not far ahead.

The small town of Villali, despite its name, does not have a large population and is comparable to a small village.

When the Yuanxin Water City in Haimanxing Province was first built, the town of Villali held a relocation movement, and most of the town's population moved to live in the water city.

At this moment, in the small town of Villali, there should only be some old people who can't walk.

Of course, this is on the bright side. Although William was a little reluctant to admit it, in his heart, judging by reason, he still thought that the town of Villari had become a dead town.

Only a dead town where ghouls roam.

In fact, it is.

When William and the others arrived here, the jackal sent people to search the town, and sure enough, there was no trace of survivors, and the ghouls wandering around the streets found a lot. (To be continued.) )
