After the fall of the Guards, the senior officers of the Guy Army finally realized the seriousness of the incident. The fact www.biquge.info that the killers were able to kill all 30 members of the Guards in one night without a word was no longer a problem they could solve.

It's not hard to kill. The difficulty is to kill thirty experienced and keenly vigilant military masters without alarming the veteran oils in the barracks whose ears are smarter than raccoon cats. This meant that if the murderer had meant that, he could have killed anyone in Guy's camp during the night.

The three captains of the Guy Army were not stupid, and they soon realized that their heads were not guaranteed, which was more important than anything else. But even the pro-guards have been taken lightly by this elusive cultist, and who else can protect their safety?

There is only one answer...... Knights of the Scorching Sun.

In the face of the invasion of the Hill Empire, no matter how critical the battle situation was, the captains and generals of the Duchy of Guy never asked for help from the Knights of the Scorching Sun...... Anyway, no matter how critical the battle situation is, it is ordinary soldiers who die, and they are not in any danger. If there is really danger, the leader will flee first.

But now...... The three captains and the two former generals who were demoted to the rank of general jointly went to the camp of the Knights of the Burning Sun to meet with Grand Duke Lucas and the head of the Brandon Branch, and asked the Knights of the Burning Sun to help arrest the murderer.

The Knights of the Scorching Sun have always been business-oriented, and did not embarrass the Guys because of old vendettas, and sent an elite knight to deal with the matter that day.

Sending only one person shows that they believe that one person can solve the problem.

"Hello, are you the new military priest?"

Chet was busy visiting the wounded soldiers as always, and since the third squad now had only four priests, he had to take care of at least a hundred men a day, and his feet did not touch the ground. Finally, he took the time to rest and drink water, but was approached by a young knight in silver armor.

The knight has a baby face, soft blonde hair, and always smiles when he speaks, his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit. This makes him look very scheming, but it's too deliberate, like an eight-year-old child wearing a ceremonial costume, who can't hide his thoughts at all in front of a powerful acting school like Chet.

"It's me......," Chet glanced at him with displeasure, "I'm busy, if you have anything, please tell me quickly." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" The knight shook Chet's hand as he apologized, "My name is Kyle, and I'm Brandon's personal bodyguard, and I've been invited by your army to deal with cultist murders. ”

Chet gave Kyle a distrustful look and exclaimed, "You were the only one who was sent, and thirty of our captain's guards were wiped out......

"Don't say thirty sheep, even if it's three hundred...... Kyle said arrogantly with a smile on his face, "and a lion will be turned into a meal." ”

"I'm relieved to see you so confident, I hope you can catch the murderer soon. The cases all happened in the camp of our third squad, which caused panic among the people, and the soldiers who were gradually getting better from their injuries became seriously ill because of mental anxiety, which increased my workload...... It's a nuisance......" Chet began to complain with an unhappy face, not to mention Kyle, even he himself was afraid that he had nothing to do with the serial murders that happened in the middle of the night.

However...... Naturally, he was a cultist who terrified the officers of the Guy Army. The purpose of killing people continuously at night is to attract the Knights of the Scorching Sun, and now that there are really elite knights here, his plan is about to enter the final stage.

The essence of luring the snake out of the hole is not to startle the snake. Chet had to grasp the degree of killing, so that the threat gradually deepened, and never exceeded the acceptable range of "snake". If Chet had gone on a killing spree in the first place, he had the ability to do so, the "Serpent" would have taken refuge in the depths of the lair and never been seen again.

Kyle doesn't know that the grey priest in front of him is the culprit, and he has another suspect in mind. He said to Chet: "When I came to your camp, I asked many soldiers for information about the case, but they ...... Let me put it mildly...... The wisdom is a little lacking, and I can't even think of a clue. Judging from the criminal's mode of action, there is no doubt that he is a person who has lurked in the camp of the third squad under a false identity, and knows quite well the soldiers and the shape of the camp in the third team. In gathering this information, criminals are bound to leave traces......"

"I'm not that stupid......," Chet said inwardly, "Are you a thief for me, even if I leave a trace, it's not something you can find......"

"So I turned to the soldiers and asked the soldiers what strange things had happened in recent times...... They mentioned a name—the Oracle. Priestess, what do you know about this oracle?" Kyle continued.

Chet replied honestly, "He is a miracle manifester identified by the Miracle Laboratory, and I have seen him heal the wounded with the power of God. ”

"Huh...... It's just magic......" Kyle muttered in a low voice, but Chet heard it clearly, which means that Kyle is aware of the existence of supernatural powers, "Do you think this oracle is a fake?"

"Uh......" Chet said, feigning uncertainty, "he's a little strange, I don't know why he's wearing an iron mask all the time, as if he's afraid people will see his face." But I heard that he has a letter of recommendation written by a cardinal priest, so don't rush into him......" Chet lowered his voice and reminded as if kindly, "The backstage of other people is hard, and even Brandon and Grand Duke Lucas can't afford to mess with it." ”

As Chet expected, no matter how thick and dark Kyle is, he is a resolute or innocent knight. Hearing the words "backstage" and "unprovoked", Kyle was like a lit crater, unable to laugh anymore, and said angrily: "Whoever he is, he will be judged justly before the sun god!" If I catch evidence of his massacre of his compatriots, I will take off his iron mask with my own hands, brand his face with flames, and then cut off his head and stick it in my riding spear!"

"You're really the bravest knight I've ever met......" Chet smiled with satisfaction, but in Kyle's eyes, it was a smile of emotion and approval, "Then I'm going to tell you a secret, I don't dare to tell anyone about this secret, for fear of getting revenge if it leaks out, but if it's you, I want to ......"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that!" Kyle waved his hand, his face boiling with blood, and he had long forgotten how to pretend to be scheming, "I'll keep you safe." ”

Chet seemed to be very moved and nodded, and said seriously: "Actually...... I found that the thirteen people who died at first were all followers of the oracle. I think the killer may have taken advantage of that...... If the murderer still intends to kill, he will still attack the followers of the oracle...... Do you see what I mean?"

Kyle rolled his eyes and smiled, "Understood...... As long as I keep the bunch...... Oh, you're done. ”

Now that he had regarded Chet as a witty and pious Red Priest, he was thinking in his heart about how to introduce Chet to the Knights of the Scorching Sun, and it was a waste for such a talent to stay in the Guy Army!
