After this, it is true that the army of the Sith Empire never came to Yuren again, and in the eyes of the residents of the town, this young man seems to have begun to live his own life very dutifully. For the rest of his life, the young man would stay quietly in his house and take care of the two girls, and from time to time he would come up with money to buy some food from the residents. The townspeople had no intention of refusing the deal. Anyway, they will always have surplus food to buy. And the price given by this young man is also very fair, and there is nothing unacceptable.

Of course, in the eyes of the townspeople, Yuren's behavior was a bit strange, and he would go out early in the morning every day for a walk in the nearby mountains and not return until noon. This courage surprised the townspeople, knowing that there were many dangerous beasts on the mountain, and it was so steep and dangerous that it was impossible for ordinary people to climb it. But the young man was as leisurely as if he were going for a walk in his back garden, and, every day when he returned, he would catch a few wild games and give them to the townspeople, and the ferocious beasts seemed to be of no mention at all under his hands. This also gave the townspeople a new understanding of Yulian, and it seemed that this young wanderer had very good skills and was not afraid of the dangers of the mountains.

But even so, the townspeople couldn't figure out why this young man had to go up the mountain every morning, and even if he was going to be a hunter, it seemed that he didn't need to be so industrious.

In the early morning, an indifferent mist floats in the forest, bringing with it a hint of ethereal aura. Yuren crouched down, looked carefully at the black cave in front of him, then shook his head, sighed and stood up again.

"It's so slow. ”

As he spoke, Yuren reached out and rearranged the leafy plants, hiding a device on the side of the cave in front of him—it was clear from the solid lines and forms that it was definitely not a natural creation.

Of course Yuren knew what it was, it was the secret passage of the kingdom of Orrut. That's why he's here.

The royal capital of Orrut is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side can be accessed, and the location of Luoxia Town is behind these mountains. Of course, this does not mean that the army of the Sith Empire can occupy these mountains and be condescending. In fact, the reason why the Kingdom of Orrut is willing to establish the capital of its country in such a place with such confidence is precisely because of the natural danger in front of it. The mountains on three sides surrounding the royal capital are extremely steep and there is no way to walk at all. The almost vertical angle of ninety degrees was enough to discourage any army, not even the Sith Empire. And even on the side of Luoxia Town, it is also very steep, and it has become an impossible task to transport siege weapons to a condescending attack. That's why, even though the Sith Empire occupied it, there was still no way to encircle it militarily.

That's why Yulian is here.

The Sith Empire didn't know that the royal family of Orrut had a secret escape path set up here, so Yulian chose to live here for a long time instead of sneaking into the royal capital. He knew very well that if the royal family of Orrut wanted to send someone to escape, then the only way to do so was to use this secret passage. After all, because of the limitations of this natural barrier, King Aurute himself is also a turtle in the urn, especially in the current situation, the Sith Empire has already blocked all the external routes, and the royal family of Aurute has no other choice, if they don't use this secret passage, then the possibility of dying in the hands of the Sith Empire will be very large. Yulian didn't think these guys would be stupid enough to think that they could escape from the royal capital under the noses of two gifted knights.

Until now, the Sith Empire's idea of King West working with them to cut off the survivors of the royal family of Orrut had been a pipe dream, and there was no theoretical evidence to prove it. But it didn't matter to Yurien, who had already gotten some of the characteristics of the current West V from O'Fariel, and was sure that there was a good chance that he would do so. But even if he took a step back, the Sith Empire didn't make such a request, or the king was really affectionate, it didn't have any effect on Yuren's plans. Anyway, he has only one goal - to bring the survivors of the royal family of Orrut back to the Twilight Forest safely and take control of them in his own hands.

This is the reason why Yulian went to this hellish place with all his might.

For the Kingdom of West, it does not need war. But for Yuren, this war is a must, and any attempt to hinder it must be nipped in the bud. Or rather...... It would be better if it could provoke a war.

After regaining his disguise, Yulian clapped his hands and took two steps back to observe the cave in front of him. He was a little anxious in his heart, and right now, there was only half a month left before the armistice agreement. In Julien's predictions, this will also be the last time for the royal family to resist. It was impossible for them to evacuate in advance, otherwise the discontent of the populace would be the first to burn on them when they found out that the ruler was gone. But half a month is already the limit, and the royal family of Olute should know that the second half of this armistice agreement is completely for the other side to use to mobilize troops. If they don't take this opportunity to leave a trace of blood to the royal family, then it will be difficult to fly even if they have wings.

Could it be that the royal family of Olute really intends to live and die with the country?

This was a possible surname that Julien had not considered, and in his opinion, if the royal family of Orrut really intended to do so, it would be incomprehensible that it would propose a three-month truce. No country in the world will have such a good character as "sacrificing oneself for others", and the reason why Olute is delaying time must be to leave a way back for himself. And the Sith Empire obviously knew this, so it unusually ordered two gifted knights to carry out the battle plan of besieging the royal city of Orrut, under ordinary circumstances, only one gifted knight was enough.

Wait another five days.

Yulian took out the silver watch in his arms and looked at the numbers on it with a frown.

Wait another five days, if the other party has no intention of coming out, then he has to implement the second set of plans. After all, there is also not much time left in the Kingdom of West.

Just as Yuren put away his pocket watch and turned to leave the hideout. In the twilight forest, outside the gates of the Valhalla, O'Fariel was standing there, calmly staring at an old man dressed in splendid costume—he was the regional bishop of the Church of Grace and the administrator of the mission in the area.

And looking at the calm girl in front of him, the old bishop couldn't help but feel a little angry, knowing that his identity was noble after all, and no one had ever dared to turn him away from the city if he was put anywhere in the Westster Kingdom. Moreover, the nobles were all vying to invite and curry favor with themselves, and the old bishop himself never imagined that he would one day be turned away, or even stand on the side of the road like a beggar!

Thinking of this, the old bishop's face couldn't help but show a trace of annoyance.

Seeing the old bishop's annoyance, Ofariel curled her lips slightly, revealing a smug smile.

In fact, not long after Julien left, Offariel began to act on his orders, first issuing a proclamation in the city, explaining to the inhabitants that the lord had made the decision to deny the Church of Grace access to the city because of the previous attempts to cause a disturbance. In the face of this regulation, the residents did not have any objection, but quickly accepted it.

This is not surprising, although the Church of Grace has a high reputation among the common people, but they are limited in number, and even in the territory of the Byrd family, most of the members of the Church of Grace only preach in those relatively developed cities. In a small place like Twilight, the average priest wouldn't take it seriously. So, for the residents of the former Twilight Town, they certainly don't want the people of the Church of Holy Grace to say that they live in some evil place. In addition, they have basically no contact with the Church of Holy Grace, and they are not concerned about their arrival.

As for the refugees, there are indeed some believers among them, but after this period of flight, they have not been helped by the Church of Holy Grace, and they are vaguely dead. Although the doctrine of the church is fanciful, people are faithful. The priest of the church gave them nothing, but the young lord gave them jobs, houses and everything they needed. In contrast, the refugees naturally chose to be closer to a lord who treated them well rather than a church that only spoke empty words. Not to mention, these refugees are actually dissatisfied with what the Church of Grace has done before—they have worked so hard to leave their homeland and settle down on a land that can be accepted for themselves. Then the Church of Grace jumped out and said that this was a cursed place, and that it was to leave immediately............ Leave? Where can they go if they leave here? Are they going to be refugees again, to the hardships of displacement?

Dream your dreams!

Because of this mentality, those refugees also lack a good impression of the Church of Holy Grace, and Ofariel deliberately used some information to indulge, so that the residents of Valhalla basically agree with this.

Because of this, after learning that the bishop of the region was coming to negotiate with him, Ofariel directly stopped the other party outside the city, and did not even intend to let the other party enter the city gate. I have to say that when Ofaril did this, in addition to getting Yulian's instructions, she also had a hint of darkness in her heart. Although O'Faryl is not disgusted with the Church of Holy Grace, you must know that she is a princess, which means that she actually belongs to the royal party. In the eyes of the royal regime, the Church of Holy Grace is such a force that not only competes with them for the hearts and minds of the people, but also has the power to threaten its own governance. Therefore, as a member of the royal party, O'Faryl naturally will not miss any opportunity to disgrace the Church of Holy Grace.

"Young lady, you are so rude. ”

The old bishop stroked the cane in his hand and spoke with a calm expression. Behind him, the guards in church robes cast angry glances at Ofaril.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bishop. ”

In the face of the old bishop's statement that he oppressed people with age, Offariel quietly replied to the past. She had seen a lot of this in the royal palace, and when Offariel had not yet shown her abilities and talents, almost every minister in the palace would rely on her age and seniority to accuse the princess of being too immature, too naïve, too impulsive, and too inconsiderate...... And so on and so forth, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth, and so on, and so

"The Twilight Forest has the rules of the Twilight Forest, and since we have enacted a law strictly prohibiting the Holy Grace Church from entering the city, we naturally cannot let you enter it, otherwise, it will be tantamount to denying our own rule. I think that as a respected old man, you should know very well how important the meaning of the law is to the territory. ”

"However, this decree is barbaric and dangerous. ”

O'Faryl's response made the old bishop hesitate for a moment, but he still did a good job of hiding his inner feelings, and spoke.

"Young lady, I think you should know that according to the decree of the Kingdom, we in the Church of Holy Grace have the right to preach anywhere........."

“......... It is based on the premise that it will not threaten or adversely affect any region. ”

Offariel indifferently interrupted the old bishop's speech, and quickly added to it.

"According to the Treaty between the Crown and the Church, the Church of Grace has the right to carry out evangelistic acts in any part of the Church - provided that it does not cause adverse influence or threat to it. Dear Bishop, I think you are a little old enough to forget the basic terms of the agreement?"

“.....................”

Hearing this, the old bishop opened his mouth, but he could not say anything. He didn't expect that the young girl in front of him would actually know this, you know, although the agreement signed between the church and the royal family is not a secret, but only the high-ranking people in the two parties can know the detailed requirements. But now, this young girl actually knows the secret?

Thinking of this, the old bishop's eyes narrowed, he didn't fail to see Offariel's long violet hair, but the old bishop still subconsciously thought that even if this girl had pure royal blood, it was unlikely that she would occupy a central position in the current kingdom politics. Otherwise, in the current crisis facing the Kingdom of West, it is impossible for this girl to stay here obediently and not return to the royal capital. But now, the old bishop found that his judgment seemed to be wrong.

"The members of your church have violated the basic terms of the Agreement by entering the city without informing the lord of the realm, and spreading dangerous statements, and we, as the masters of the Twilight Forest, have the right to deny entry to the Church of Holy Grace. ”

At this, O'Faryl paused, narrowed her eyes to make sure she understood what she meant, and then took a half-step back and lifted the hem of her skirt lightly.

"If you don't mind, then I'm leaving, after all, there are still a lot of things to attend to in the realm. ”

Listening to Ofariel's words, the old bishop did not make any response, he just quietly watched as the girl raised her head, turned around and prepared to leave, and then, the old man shouted softly in a low voice.

"But dead life will not forgive you for your folly. ”

Offariel stopped.

"You mean .........?"

She turned her head and stared at the old man in front of her in confusion, completely unaware of what he meant. The old bishop, however, only smiled.

"Don't you understand?"

"You can't fail to understand what I mean, young lady. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bishop. ”

Offariel frowned, she really couldn't understand what the old man was saying inexplicably.

"I don't understand what you mean, if there's anything you want to say, please speak up. ”

“...............”

The old man stopped talking, he just squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the girl in front of him, as if observing her expression. But he failed, and in the face of the girl, the old man did not get the answer he wanted.

"I don't know what you think about this, young lady. However, as a regional bishop, I have to be responsible for my subordinates. They sacrificed their lives for the sake of Holy Mana, so I can't sit idly by. ”

"I still don't understand what you mean, Mr. Bishop. ”

Ofaril sighed, she didn't notice that the old man was deliberately saying something vague, or she was hinting at something, but she really didn't know what the old man was hinting at herself.

"But, whatever you want to do, I have only one response - according to the rules of the Twilight Forest, members of the Church of Grace are not allowed to enter Valhalla, even if you are a regional bishop. ”

"What if I have to go in?"

Hearing the old bishop's words, Ofariel's face was slightly gloomy, and the situation that Yuren had expected had finally happened.

"Actually, the people of the Church of Holy Grace have this habit that if you forbid him to do something, then he will do it, I'm almost sure. There's no way the folks at the Church of Grace just give up on entering Valhalla, even if you negotiate with them. But they won't use force, they will just go to their destination, you can block, you can stop them, you can even attack them, they will never fight back. But that's why they have no fear – after all, they don't think you can really do anything to them. And even if you do something to them, reason is still on their side. ”

Euphariel's words came back to Ofariel's mind again, and now, the old bishop was actually holding his staff and striding towards Valhalla, he didn't look back at Ofariel, and he didn't say anything more. Just like that, I went to my destination.

"So, what to do?"

Ofariel frowned, asking her heart, and then she recalled Julien's decision.

"Once they decide to do it......... Just leave it to Charlotte and Judy to take care of. ”

O'Faryl certainly understood what that meant.

"Mr. Bishop, I advise you that it is better not to do this, you ........."

Offariel tried to step forward to stop the old man, but at this moment, Charlotte, who had been standing silently behind her, suddenly took her hand.

"Miss O'Fariel, let's do our job next. ”

"But ..............."

Although Charlotte was smiling as always, Offariel saw the burning anger and murderous intent in Charlotte's eyes unmistakably, and this terrible feeling made her hold her breath.

"But they ..............."

"It's the master's order, we just need to carry it out. ”

As she spoke, Charlotte stretched out her other hand, put it in her mouth, and whistled softly.

With a melodious whistle, four young girls in silver armor suddenly appeared in front of the road, blocking the old bishop's way. But, even so, the old bishop did not even raise his eyes, he just bent his waist and slowly walked forward with his staff in his hand. Soon, he walked in front of the four silver-armored girls, but in the face of the obstacles in front of him, the old bishop did not speak, he still did not stop his steps, but walked straight towards the four of them.

"Please give way, young man, let me, old man, ........."

The old bishop's words were not finished, for the next moment Judy had reached out and grabbed him by the neck, and then pressed the thin old man to the ground.

At the same time, the three people beside her also drew their long swords at the same time, and with the screams, several guards around the old bishop also rolled and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, covering the wounds on their bodies and wailing incessantly.

"We don't care if it's the elderly, the woman, the man, or the child. ”

Charlotte's smile was still the same, only this time, there was a palpable joy in her tone.

"Anyone who is in the Church of Grace must die-Miss Judy, by order of your lordship, hang all these guys who try to invade the territory of the Twilight Forest in the outskirts of the Twilight Forest, I think this will serve as a reminder and a lesson to those bastards who don't know whether to live or die. And ........."

With that, Charlotte turned around and bowed to O'Faryl gracefully, then pulled out a letter from her bosom.

"This is a letter from the Lord, Miss O'Fariel, who told me that when events have developed as he had envisioned, it is up to you to confirm the contents and declare them. ”

"What's in there?"

Lowering his head, unable to bear to look at the aging figure struggling in the dirt, Ofaril lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"It's the lord's second decree. ”

Charlotte's smile was like the June sun, bright, bright and beautiful.

"Members of the Church of Grace are strictly forbidden to enter the Twilight Forest, and violators are to be put to death regardless of surname, age, or class. ”

At this, Charlotte paused.

"Personally, I really welcome this decree from my lordship. ”

Then, she said with a happy smile.
