The small town of Eric. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just a day ago, the people of the city had rejoiced at the arrival of Archbishop Solan and many elite Templars and saints, but by the time the sun had risen over the night, the town had become a dead place shrouded in the light of the morning.

Flames, ruins, blood, corpses, there is not a single living human in the entire town at this moment, and the main road that the Solan investigation team passed through yesterday is now roaming with many fallen demonic beasts that constantly roar. From time to time, these fallen demonic beasts emit a demonic aura like black smoke, tirelessly destroying everything in the town to the best of their ability.

Demons are invaders from outside the world, and the fallen people infected by the demonic breath will not be affected by any natural blessings in this world like demons, and at the same time, the fallen creatures are also disgusted with everything in this world, especially the normal creatures of this world and the civilization they have created.

Houses, roads, flower beds, squares, everything that embodies the existence of human civilization is receiving the destruction of these fallen monsters, this kind of destruction does not seem to make them feel tired at all, every time they destroy something, these fallen monsters will let out a roar as if they are very satisfied and happy, and these roars one after another, but the Templar knights stationed outside the town at this moment can hear so harshly.

"Commander, please give us the order to fight!"

Outside the camp of the Knights of the Templars, Red, who was looking at the situation in the town with a solemn face, turned around and saw that the squadron leaders of the several knight squadrons he had brought out this time were all concentrated, looking at him with anger and determination in their eyes.

After coming to him in twos and threes and being sent back, did you call everyone over this time?

"Don't go to war, it's an order. ”

"Captain!"

The squadron leader of the first silver squadron stepped forward, the silver knights are the elite of the three major knights of the temple, and the captains of several squadrons of the silver knights are obviously higher in the group, and among the squadron leaders in front of them, the leaders are naturally the two squadron leaders of the silver first and second squadrons who came with the team.

"Captain, we are Templars, and the glory of the Patronus is our mission! Now the most evil beings are before our eyes, they have killed our brothers and our people, and now they are going to destroy the place where they once lived before our eyes...... Commander, please give the order! Everyone has been patient for so long after listening to your words, but we really can't bear it anymore!"

"Regiment Commander, please give an order, these fallen demonic beasts only relied on a late-night sneak attack to make the brothers of the third and fourth squadrons suffer a big loss, and now we are prepared, and we have enough manpower, we can definitely wipe out these evil guys!"

"Suffered a big loss?" "Red's unsmiling face like a stone sculpture was filled with grim coldness, "Four squadrons, a knight legion of more than a thousand people, plus sixty saints and magicians and a law powerhouse, in the end, only less than fifty people escaped, do you think, this is called 'suffering a big loss'?"

The leader of the first and second squadrons was speechless.

Red raised his eyes, his eyes swept over the faces of the two right-hand men under him, as well as the squadron leaders of the Divine Grace Legion and the Holy Light Legion behind them.

“...... We're Templars, and we're going to protect the glory of the gods, that's true, but have you ever wondered what would happen if we started attacking these monsters now, and then lost, and spurred them on towards the Holy City, which was not far behind us?

"Almost ninety-nine percent of the civilians in the Holy City still don't know what happened in the nearby town of Eric, and the garrison of the Holy City has not yet been arranged, if there is no one to stay here and delay them in time when these fallen demonic beasts are doing some crazy things, then they will not even be able to feel the north gate of the Holy City in two hours!"

"Do you think I'm right? You think we're not going to lose, but I'm too pessimistic? Have you forgotten what Shuai Ke told us before he escorted Archbishop Ella back to the Holy City? There are at least two seventh-order magicians on the other side, and if the weird curses on those demonic beasts are not dealt with in time after being contaminated, people will become crazy people who don't distinguish between friend and foe, in the face of such an enemy, because we are in a hurry and do not have high-level saints in the team, we don't have much chance of winning at all, not to mention that we don't know how many of those fallen demonic beasts there are, how they appeared in the town, are these all ...... We don't know anything about the enemy, and attacking in such a situation is not to preserve the glory of God, it is just the most stupid act of death!"

As the chief head of the Knights Templar and the only seventh-order fighting hero in the group, Red's authority was even more intimidating to these squadron leaders than His Majesty the Pope, and they were reprimanded by Red with a straight face, and these squadron leaders kept their heads down and remained silent like children who had made mistakes.

Seeing that these squadron leaders under his command finally knew the seriousness of the matter, Red didn't say anything more, but sighed in his heart.

These children under his command were angry and wanted to fight hard, why didn't he want to kill him directly when he saw the scene in the town all the time? However, whenever he remembered the prophecy he had seen in the record crystal of His Majesty the Pope, Red's blood cooled.

He could see that although these Fallen Demonic Beasts had not been able to plunge the Holy City into a devastating crisis as predicted, the total destruction of the two investigation teams, especially this time, which had completely converged their whereabouts more than a week before the arrival of the team led by Archbishop Ella, and then suddenly launched this terrible ambush last night when everyone was at their most lax and successfully buried the Divine Cult army of more than a thousand people, this practice undoubtedly confirmed one point, that is, these Fallen Demonic Beasts and the power behind them are definitely not so simple。

The two investigations did not yield any useful information, as he told the squadron leader, they were now ignorant of these fallen demonic beasts that suddenly appeared near the Holy City, considering the prophecy and the Pope's advice before leaving, Red had to be cautious and cautious here, preferring to let these evil beings show off in front of his eyes than to give them the opportunity to threaten the safety of the Holy City.

As Red was quietly thinking about these things, he suddenly felt a fever sensation in the inside pocket of his inner armor on his chest. He put his hand into the inner armor from the side, and quickly pulled out a black communication stone, a new communication stone that had been improved by an unknown chamber of commerce, and could already be used as a reminder by heating up when receiving new information.

Earlier, he had already passed on the situation here to the Holy City through the Communication Stone, and calculated that Shuai Ke and the others should have also returned to the Holy City, so it should be that His Majesty the Pope finally gave instructions.

Sure enough, the words on the communication stone confirmed Red's suspicions, and after putting away the communication stone, Red looked up and spoke to the squadron leaders who were still standing in front of him, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"His Majesty the Pope has ordered us to set up camp near the town of Eric, monitor the movements of the fallen monsters in the town of Eric, and conduct daily patrols of the surrounding area, be sure to ensure that these fallen beasts do not lose their traces and appear in other places again, and set up more tents when camping, and soon Zarko will lead more reinforcements to arrive. ”

"Yes!"

"What the hell are you Nolan doing?!"

Boom!

Silaire slammed his fist on the table, looking at the circle of Nolans around the long table with an annoyed expression.

After the ambush, because the time for the next step of the plan has not arrived, the Great Elder decided to let everyone hide in the town with a large number of fallen demonic beasts in the town for the time being, so as not to be detected by the Solan Cult.

And at this moment, in the conference room under the stronghold, Silaire, who had failed in his pursuit of Celoth and his party and was frightened off by Selman's bluff, was venting his frustration precisely because of the Nolan identity he had discovered.

"The girl who was lost fifteen years ago? What the hell, after working together for so long, how did I never know that you Nolan were out there and an orphan? Okay, if there is an orphan, I just want to ask, since that girl is from your Nolan clan, how can she look like a wolf orc? And she has become a member of the Solan Cult to deal with us?! So you don't know that there is a traitor among you who actually took refuge in the Solan God Cult that you want to take revenge on?"

Asked by Silaire so bluntly, Vincent and the others sitting on the other side of the long table all looked ugly.

Just now, when Silaire first rushed in and said that there was actually a Nolan person fighting against them on the side of the Solan Cult, they didn't believe it at first, but Silaire didn't look like he was lying, and he didn't have the motive to use this kind of thing to deduct on the Nolan for no reason.

Especially later, Silaire's description of the girl—purple-haired, wolf-eared, wolf-tailed, looking like she was twelve or thirteen years old, and seemed to be on good terms with the Saint-in-Waiting, Raphael—undoubtedly reminded Xingxi, Ali Ali, and Egger of the events of the Southwest Desert.

Loris National Academy's Magic Guidance Department Northland Wolf Clan student Cheruth not only saw it in the Southwest Desert at that time, but just more than half a year ago in the Lorris Elemental Festival Four Houses Competition, that girl also represented Lorris National Academy, and even because of her contact with Xingxi, Xingxi was suspected of leaking secrets, and even fought Ali Ali and Gurney head-on in the final battle......

At this moment, Iger and Ali Ali, who originally refuted Silaire's accusations the most, were dumbfounded, including Vincent, who had always tried to calm things down, and those who participated in Lloris's assassination half a year ago more or less knew that Xingxi was indeed very close to the girl named Cheruth at that time, and even almost turned his face because of that girl...... Could it be that all of this is true? That girl was really an orphan of the Nolan clan back then, and Xingxi knew this long after the Southwest Desert incident, which is why he was so kind to her when he was in Loris?

Can...... If that Cheruth is really Nolan, then she is almost certain to be the lost daughter of Ryan and his wife, isn't Xingxi on good terms with Tias?

So, after Vincent ambiguously explained that the Nolans were likely to have been orphaned outside, the scene fell into a strange atmosphere. Xingxi didn't speak, and she didn't know what to say at the moment, and this silence prompted Ali, Egger and Vincent to have all kinds of conjectures and even suspicions in their hearts. And Tim, the only one who didn't know about Cheruth and her affairs, didn't say a word when he saw the other companions, and out of his usual cowardly little woman's personality, he didn't say a word, but looked at the changing looks on the faces of his companions and Xingxi Ali Ali with some concern.

The collective silence on the Nolan side gave Silaire a reason for his attack, he felt that the Nolan must be at fault, and even they might have something to hide from him, which made Silaire, who had not been able to catch up with Cheruth and get the coveted elemental affinity, so he was in a bad mood.

However, just as he continued to want to vent something, the person who had been watching the play from the sidelines finally spoke.

"Silaire, let's stop here," Rogers said with a smile, "This matter is very weird, I guess you of the Nolan clan must also have a clue, Nolan and Solan are mortal enemies, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there must be some misunderstanding!"

Ali Ali heard this and immediately spoke, the glasses lady was afraid that if the identity of the Solan Cult of the girl named Cheruth was true, then Xingxi's collusion with Cheruth to leak the news of Lloris's assassination plan might be brought up again and even questioned by the Great Elder, so she wanted to fool this topic that seemed to be unfavorable to Xingxi at the first time - she was also curious whether that Cheruth was Nolan, but it was Xingxi who was more important to her.

Iger and Vincent both frowned and pondered what to continue to be silent, Tim nodded in agreement with Ali Ali and Rogers' statement, and Silaire wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Rogers with a look.

"Alright, Grand Elder, I'm sorry that we didn't kill the archbishop here as planned due to something going wrong here in Silaire in this battle, but don't worry, I'm sure the archbishop was injured enough to make her unable to fight in the near future. ”

"You're welcome, Mr. Rogers," the Grand Elder finally spoke, "and it was the two of you who had been helping us to do this, and we were thankful to be able to do this for us. ”

"Where, that's what we're supposed to do...... Then, Silaire and I will have to briefly report to the master what happened tonight, so we won't bother you. ”

With that, Rogers smiled and stood up, pulling Silaire out of the conference room. (To be continued.) )
