Late at night, Solan Holy City, which was originally a very ordinary night, suddenly became noisy in the early hours of the next morning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Templar Fort on the east side of the foot of the Temple Hill is brightly lit and the castle door is wide open. The head of the Knights Templar, Rhett, led the first and second squadrons of the five squadrons of the Silver Knights, as well as two squadrons each of the Knights of Light and the Knights of Divine Grace, and under the eyes of the other Knights Templar troops in the fort led by Deputy Commander Zarco, as well as the bewildered eyes of the residents around the castle were awakened from their sleep, the horse's hooves rumbled straight towards the north gate of the holy city.

On the temple mountain, the temple of Solan is also brightly lit, and the middle and high-level of the temple led by Pope Solan and Archbishop Kate are almost all gathered on the platform in front of the temple at this moment, and they are full of worry as Red leads the army of the Knights to speed away at the fastest speed in the direction of the northern town of Eric.

What happened in Eric's town tonight was not expected until a distress call was received from Eric's town. Even the Pope and other high-level officials who knew about the prophecy of the demon's attack on the city did not expect that the investigation team led by Archbishop Ella, which was not weak, would encounter such a large-scale and obviously premeditated ambush on the first night of staying in Eric's Town, and even everyone, including Archbishop Ella, who was a powerhouse of law, fell into a desperate situation of death.

The situation was urgent, and the Holy City didn't care about arranging reinforcements at all, so the Pope directly ordered Captain Red to lead the fastest Templar Knights troops to rush to Eric's town to rescue Archbishop Ella as quickly as possible. At the same time, the deputy head of the Knights Templar, Zarco, and the leader of the Saints, Paul the Sage, began to gather the remaining personnel of the Knights Templar and the Saints Order, including the Fire Temple, the Solan Magic Advisory Council, and the Inquisitor Force of the Soran Faith Inquisition...... Organize an effective defense against the demon army around the Holy City in time.

If the previous demon attack in Eric Town only made Solan's high-level officials feel that the prediction of the demon attack on the city was really not groundless or even a foreshadowing, then the ambush that happened in Eric's town tonight almost made the heads of the high-level people who knew the prophecy be hammered - prophecy, omens? No, maybe, the demon attack on the city or something, in fact, it had already begun.

That's right, they were all wrong, and they were ridiculously wrong from the beginning with a hint of optimism about the events in Eric's Town, which may not be a so-called omen at all, but the real beginning of events! Eric Town is the first, and the second is likely to be the Holy City that is close at hand, maybe after all the troops in Eric Town are wiped out tonight, or maybe tomorrow, a large demon army that has been able to ambush the troops led by the strong people of the Divine Sect Law will appear at the foot of the Holy City, and then launch a devastating attack on this sacred place of faith that has stood in the south of the continent for hundreds of years.

The Pope stood at the very edge of the platform outside the temple mountaintop, and this old man, who stood at the top of the continent in terms of cultivation strength and status, squinted his eyes at this moment, as if he wanted to see the situation of the small town of Eric, which was tens of kilometers north of the Holy City, at this moment. The face, which had always been calm and indifferent in front of ordinary civilians and the most devout believers, was rarely full of worry at the moment.

Could it be that prophecy is true? Will the centuries-old legacy of the Solan Cult really be destroyed this time without any leeway?

What to do, the light is above, the Solan Twins are above, who can tell him what he should do now?

No, this is unrealistic, not to mention the face and majesty of the first sect in the continent that was frightened so much by a prophecy, there are too many civilians in the Holy City, and Eric Town is too close to the Holy City, if the demon army really opens the Holy City immediately after Eric Town, then it will be too late for them to evacuate the civilians or build defenses, and the casualties will be even heavier, and the panicked civilians will also cause big trouble to the poorly prepared defense line.

Although the sudden increase in the level of vigilance will not hide from the people for a long time, fortunately, almost all the residents of the city are Solan believers, and with his influence as the pope, he should be able to deal with it for a while. But if they do this, if they really don't defend themselves against the attack of the demon army, then they will really sacrifice a large number of innocent civilians at the same time as the temple is destroyed as prophesied...... No, light bless, they can't hold on...... It's impossible to hold on......

Pope Solan was worried, and for some reason, the unease and ominousness he had felt had washed over his heart over and over again since he learned the news that Archbishop Ella's investigation team in the small town of Eric had been ambushed by fallen monsters tonight. Thoughts of gain and loss passed through his mind, and even for a moment, he had the urge to kill everyone in Eric's Town, including Archbishop Ella, and directly call Red and the group of Templar Knights he took back to set up the defense line of the Holy City.

In the middle and upper echelons of the Cult, almost no one slept in the second half of the night, except for Pope Solan, who had been standing on the platform and looking out from afar, everyone else, including Archbishop Kate, had already left and returned to their respective posts to urgently organize and operate the duties at hand. The changes in the Temple Hill and the Knights' Templar Fort, the Holy Chapel, and the Inquisition of Faith near the Temple Hill soon alarmed the civilians around the Holy City.

Although the civilians did not know exactly what was going on, many of them could sense from the atmosphere in various places that something must be something serious, the Templars and Saints began to camp quietly and nervously towards the outer walls of the Holy City in groups, and the Adjudicator troops began to walk the deserted streets without shying away from it, seemingly casually searching every suspicious place in the city.

Finally, two hours after Red led the reinforcements away, the familiar sound of horses' hooves came from the northern outskirts of the Holy City again, and soon, a team of nearly 100 people rode to the north gate of the Holy City. After verifying their identities, the group went straight from the north gate to the foot of the temple mountain.

Archbishop Ella was rescued.

That's right, not "coming back", but "being rescued". When the Pope, who had seen the procession returning from afar, summoned Archbishop Kate to the foot of the Temple Hill to greet the procession, the first thing he saw was Archbishop Ella, who was being held in his arms by a female Templar who was dismounting from his horse, with a pale face and unconscious.

"His Majesty the Pope!"

Just as Pope Solan was about to walk in and raise his hand to treat Ella, suddenly a voice came from the side, somewhat recklessly.

The Pope turned his head and saw a strong man in blood-stained silver knight's armor dismount from his horse and kneel on one knee in front of him.

"Captain of the Fourth Squadron of the Silver Knights, Shuaike, to meet His Majesty the Pope. ”

The displeasure in the Pope's heart that was abruptly interrupted immediately dissipated after hearing the words "Squadron Leader of the Fourth Squadron", he remembered that the main force of the investigation team led by Archbishop Ella was fifty saints plus the third and fourth squadrons of the most elite Silver Knights, originally he looked at Ella, whose life and death were unknown, and was still a little annoyed that no one could tell him about the situation in Eric Town, but now with such a middle-level non-commissioned officer who survived the ambush in Eric Town, it was obvious that many things could be clarified in time.

"Squadron Leader Shuaike, may the light bless you, please get up, what happened to you in Eric's town, how is the investigation team?"

"Back to His Majesty the Pope, we were attacked by the Fallen Demonic Beasts Legion hidden in the town at midnight, and the opponent had a large number of high-level demonic beasts with fifth-order strength, and even sixth-order and humanoid demonic beasts appeared, and there were two seventh-order powerhouses on the other side, and it was by them that Archbishop Ella was injured. ”

Shuaike's face was filled with sadness.

"Fortunately, Captain Red arrived in time to help the few people who survived to save Archbishop Ella from the other party, and now Captain Red is monitoring the actions of the fallen monsters in the town outside Eric Town, and preparing to delay their possible raid on the Holy City, and we were selected by Captain Red to escort back in advance with several teams to report to you about the incident...... Because there are too many Fallen Demonic Beasts besieging us, in addition to me and the other dozen or so brothers of the Silver Legion, the leader of the third squadron, the brothers of the two squadrons of the Divine Grace Legion, the saints, and the magicians have all ......."

Pope Solan's hand, hidden under his wide sleeves, trembled imperceptibly.

The legion of more than 1,000 knights, of which 600 were the most elite silver knights, was swallowed up in the originally unknown town in the north of the Holy City. Add to that the squadron of the Charismatic Legion that had previously been ambushed there, and the Cult had already lost fifteen hundred Templars there.

You must know that the Knights of the Templars, as the main military force of the Cult of God, have always taken the elite route and the number is not too much, even the largest Knights of Divine Grace only have a total of more than 5,000 people in four brigades and sixteen squadrons, and they have lost so many people at once, and then remove those left-behind knights who are stationed in various parts of the Holy Kingdom at this moment, the number of Templar Knights that can be used for garrison in the real holy city is really not much.

And what's worse is that the other party actually has a seventh-order powerhouse in addition to those demonized fallen demonic beasts, and the two seventh-order powerhouses are nothing to the Solan Divine Cult, but the key is the meaning behind this - the mastermind behind the manipulation of those fallen demonic beasts, it is very likely that he has some other powers with unknown information that are different from these fallen demonic beasts, if the other party is really the mastermind behind the demonic attack on the city in the prophecy, then it is only a matter of time before the other party is hoarding those fallen demonic beasts in Eric Town to attack the holy city, At that time, if the side of the Solan Divine Sect had to guard against the endless army of demonized and depraved demonic beasts as predicted by the other party, it would also be a seventh-order powerhouse of the other party, then it would really be a life of death......

"Squadron Leader Shuaike, are you sure that they are two seventh-order powerhouses?"

Despite the inner anxiety, on the surface Pope Solan did not show it.

"You should know that the one who attacked you this time is the same evil thing as the fallen demonic beast that Archbishop Ella once encountered in the Southwest Desert and received a demonic curse, and fifteen years ago, the Divine Cult once found out that there is a deep relationship between the Nolan clan and the ancient demons, although the Nolan clan cannot use magic and fighting energy, they are naturally able to use the ability of law, Captain Shuaike, are you sure that the two people who fought against Archbishop Ella are real seventh-order powerhouses and not Nolan people who seem to be able to use law abilities like seventh-order powerhouses？”

Shuai shook his head affirmatively.

"It's not from the Nolan clan, His Majesty the Pope, I can see it very clearly, those two people are a wind magician and a water magician, both of them are seven-star sage-level magicians with arcane abilities, at first two people attacked Archbishop Ella together, and then I don't know when only the water magician was left, that water magician was very strong, and it was he who defeated Archbishop Ella alone and was seriously injured. ”

Speaking of this, Shuai Ke suddenly thought of something, and spoke with a somewhat depressed face.

"Your Majesty, in addition...... Another important thing, this time Miss Raphael also went to Eric's town with the team, but we didn't find Miss Raphael in the previous town scuffle and breakout, Miss Raphael...... Missing. ”

Raphael was rescued by Cheruth, except for the parties, only Ella and Rogers Silaire knew, after being rescued, Ella passed out before they could tell Shuai Ke about it, and Rogers and Sylaire as enemies obviously did not have that good intentions, so Shuai Ke did not know that Raphael was still alive and well.

From a normal point of view, a weak girl, even if she is a five-star light magician, faced with so many fallen demonic beasts in such a brutal melee, it is just a nice thing to say that it is missing, and Shuai Ke thinks that Raphael should have lost his life long ago like the saints who died in the hotel during the attack.

As the captain of the escort unit when Raphael used to travel everywhere on the road, Shuai Ke still has a good impression of the confused and kind little girl, so Shuai Ke is also full of sadness for Raphael's "death".

However, for Pope Solan, on such an occasion, Raphael, a candidate saint with only a five-star strength, is obviously not so important.

"Trust that the Illuminati will bless that pious child, Your Excellency Squadron Leader. ”

Pope Solan said, with a wave of his hand, a white-green streamer mixed with light attribute and recovery attribute instantly enveloped the wounded people brought back by Shuai Ke, and in an instant, everyone's injuries began to recover at an incredible speed, and even the black demonic aura on those wounded people who were scratched and injured by the fallen demonic beast was slowly emerging from the wounds on everyone's bodies and dissipating into the air in the magic light released by the Pope.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Seeing that these brothers who survived with him were completely healed, Shuai Ke couldn't help but burst into tears.

"You are the most reliable guardians of the Light, and the Light will always bless you...... Okay, Squadron Leader Shuaike, you take the wounded back to the Knights' Fort to rest first, and by the way, tell Deputy Commander Zarko to let him come to the temple with Sage Paul and Judge Ollanke to find me.
