Chapter 72: Prologue
In the early morning of May 18, when most of the town of Redden was still asleep. They were awakened by the deafening hooves of the horses, and Delin had been practicing with a weeping in his hand for less than 10 minutes. Delin climbed onto the roof, and in between groups of cavalry rushed in the direction of the Temple of Light, shouting "Second Ban." "The secondary ban means that you can't leave your home and you can't leave unidentified people in your home until the ban is lifted. An unidentified person is a person who does not have a certificate of domicile issued by the Raidon Collar. If there are these people, they need to be sent to a specific place to gather, even if you are in an inn or a green house, you have to do it, for them, they have lived here for generations, and the order of the Raidon family means everything.
"Rush in!" the cavalry captain ordered.
On the armor of the knights, the runes flickered, and they directly began to charge, and opposite them were dozens of Templar Knights who had just assembled, many of which were ordinary quality armor, and the biggest feature was that it was brilliant and very bright. So when they saw that these knights were not joking, they surrendered directly.
However, the knights of the Raidon family did not stop there, but continued to rush forward. However, the target is not them, but dozens of real knights of light on the side. Their bodies shone with the glow of magic, they were demonic knights, and behind them, there were several priests blessing the gods.
"What are you going to do?!Yarotis, you come out for me!You're breaking the agreement!" The First Bishop rose into the air with several Sage masters.
"you @ damn the agreement!The ancestor of Salomund has been killed according to the method you said!Kill them all!" A team of more than 10 Saint-rank masters rushed towards the priests, and they were fighting together in an instant. Below them, pieces of dispersal were thrown on the Knight of Light, their blessings and shields gone, and they were on the same level as the Rider of Raidon. Immediately afterward, thieves and assassins appeared around the priests, and then they fell, some killed, some knocked unconscious, it was all a matter of personal preference, and it was too easy for them.
The duel between the Demon Knight and the Rune Knight began, without the blessing of divine arts, the former is at a natural disadvantage, not to mention, they have been pampered all day long, and they have been lacking actual combat for a long time, and the Raiden Knight will be sent to Saibeiling every year to change defenses. The battles are almost one-sided, although the Knight of Light looks much more gorgeous and shining. The final casualty ratio was 7:1, and three of the seven Rune Knight deaths were killed by a powerful spell scroll, two of which died at the hands of the Knight of Light.
The battle in the air ended earlier, and even though the First Priest was a level 20 high-ranking saint, the Raidon family knew all about it well. Two high-level Saint Rank led the team, a total of 10 Saint Rank, so that they couldn't even hold out for a quarter of an hour.
The Raiden Knight rushed straight into the temple and began to capture people and collect treasure. The Temple of Light is a place of abundance. Although it has only been built for 10 years, it has already developed a lot of believers, and although they are basically shallow believers, there are still people who donate. In addition, many adulterers come here to repent and buy atonement charms to ask the gods to forgive their sins. Of course, the Divine Priest is also a big source of money for them. Because of the blessing of the light divine power, their healing effect is much better than that of ordinary priests, and they are popular with many adventurers and nobles. Seeing the good treatment here, many priests came to become temple priests. The Temple of Light often has the largest number of priests in this area. They are usually employed with the Temple of Light and do not necessarily believe in the God of Light. After this layer of protection of the Temple of Light, their security has increased a lot, and their value has doubled. In addition, I have to mention that the healing scrolls they make can also bring them a lot of income every year.
There is an essential difference between the priest of divine power and the priest of the temple, they believe in the god of light, and the magic power of the life attribute they possess has also been transformed into divine power, and they have greatly improved their healing and even combat effectiveness. They are the power of the Temple of Light, and usually take on the role of priests. And only the best of them will be held, because the number of priests is limited.
Two hours later, the main temple of the god of light in Descartes received a magical message from the Duke of Redden: According to the method you provided, we have personally killed the great legend of our Redden family, Salomund, and if I do not get a satisfactory answer within two days, then all the temples in the Redden family's territory will be destroyed, and all personnel related to the Temple of Light will be listed as persona non grata!
Before that, they had already received distress letters from 12 different temples, which roughly read: they were crazy, the people of the Redden family surrounded the temple and then launched an attack, they seemed to have been planning for a long time, and some signs already indicated this. In the territory of the Redden family, it is not that there are no more temples, they are either too small in scale to be qualified to lay a magic transmission array, or they are directly controlled and destroyed, and they don't even have time for magic transmission!
"Hmph! A small nobleman dares to be so arrogant! You are really disappointing the Bright Holy Mountain!" a handsome young man in his 20s slapped the table. Opposite him sat the first to twelfth bishops of the Cartesian Temple of Light, and beside him sat two young men of average size, followed by nine messengers of light. The 12 of them formed the Light Mission, and they came across the ocean, starting from the Light Empire in the west of the Noria continent.
The bishops secretly exchanged glances, and then the first bishop began to speak, and the language was so kind: "Your Royal Highness Galeburg, there are actually many reasons for this. The reason why they dare to do this is because they have the upper hand in the law of nobility. ”
"The law of nobility?!Hmph! Is there a big law of light? A group of ants are yelling at you, and you still have to talk to them about the rules, should I say that you are too stupid? Or should I say that your guts have been worn out by a woman's belly all these years? If you are not competent, then you can let someone else take over you. If you don't have a capable person here, then the Holy Mountain of Light doesn't mind sending someone at random!" Galeburg looked at the First Bishop, his words full of disdain.
"We are willing to follow His Highness's arrangement. The First Bishop replied.
"Okay, let's rest for a while, and then teleport over tomorrow, and wait until we destroy this group of ants, and see if the so-called law of nobility is worthy of your fear!" After speaking, he quickly left the main hall with the two teenagers. The Lightbringer then left.
"Lord Lemmons, please stay!" the First Bishop walked over to the last Lightbringer, "Lord Lemmons, please forgive me for being abrupt. But for the sake of this humble face, will you answer me a few questions?" the First Bishop took out a square wooden box, the lid of which had been opened, and in it lay ten crystals that radiated white light.
Seeing this "thin gift", a smile immediately appeared on Lemmons' face: "First Bishop, you are too polite! The God of Light is above, and we have always cooperated sincerely. ”
"Oh! You're so right! But the god of light tells me that there is something inappropriate about His Highness Galebourg. The First Bishop said.
"Your Excellency, First Bishop, you are suspicious of the Pope's wise decision. Thankfully, there's no one else here now. In fact, there are many highnesses who aspire to this place, but only His Highness Galebge has won the place. Because he's an absolute genius. Lemmons said earnestly, then turned to leave.
The second and third bishops gathered around. "What is he ......" the third bishop was about to speak, but was interrupted by the first bishop's raised hand.
"His point was clear, Galeburg was a genius. But is there no weakness in genius?, what is the greatest weakness of genius?" the First Bishop paused, and then said slowly, "He will pay for it, and what we have to do is to minimize the loss. Later, you will go to the people of the imperial family and ask them to do their best to put pressure on the Raidon family, although it will not have much effect, but it will have an impact after all. Also inform the temples around Redden, and let them persuade the greedy nobles, preferably to make them march to the border, if the Redden family is really vulnerable......" The first bishop's eyes sparkled.
Within a day, news of the Raidon family and the temple's turn spread throughout the Scarlet Dawn Empire. Many aristocrats smelled something unusual from it. They ordered their most elite troops to be ready, but did not give any orders to attack. They are waiting for an opportunity.
On Duke Raidon's desk were reports from the major lords, and statistics showed that they had successfully destroyed all the temples in the territory, but more than a quarter of the temple personnel were on the run, many of them had escaped or gone into hiding after getting the news in advance, and some had broken through in battle. One of the most striking is that there are actually powerhouses of the Holy Rank in the small temple of two of the viscounts and one of the baronies, who killed almost all of their strength when they were surrounded and suppressed, and then walked away. It was definitely not some accident, they were all concentrated on the border of the Mangula Mountains, and they clearly wanted to do something.
"Order that all lords close to the borders of Mangula be allowed to return to their territories, closely monitor the movements of the personnel of the temple concerned, report at any time, and capture and kill if they are able. "Duke Raidon gave the order.
Delin received this order at noon, along with a message that Raidon Castle would be heading to Castle Noah this afternoon. Delin then asked the two servants to continue to look after the courtyard, and then rushed to Raiden Castle with Jamiri and Jonru.
Delin came to the points hall first, first of all, he needed enough troops and strong men to ensure his safety. The territory is close to the Mangula Mountains, which are already dangerous enough, and now, there is such an unstable factor as the temple. Although I don't know what happened over there, it is not difficult to see from the order that it should be difficult to solve at the viscount level.
"Hello, my name is Baron Delin Tariq, may I ask if I can hire a Holy Order powerhouse with points?" Delin came to a reception desk. He has learned that there are many uses for points. Important uses, such as entering the Raidon Library, buying magic patterns or rune sets, issuing quests, recruiting knights, etc., are basically the same as gold.
"Yes, but it's a bit expensive. And some of them need to be consulted personally. The receptionist replied.
"You mean there's anything you don't need to ask for my opinion?" Delin was surprised, although there were quite a few of the Thunderden family in the Holy Order, it was not a big deal.
"Yes, they owe too many points and no longer have the right to take the initiative, they have already enjoyed the benefits of the advance points, and they should also pay for it. The receptionist said calmly.
"And how many points do you need for such a holy order?" Delin asked.
"We settle on a monthly basis. Free Sages need to be agreed upon by yourself, usually around 1500, and this type requires 2000 points a month. We need to charge more fees, but they can often provide better service, because if you are not satisfied, you can come here to complain, and we will deduct his points accordingly to compensate you. "The receptionist was like a businessman, and a very nice businessman.
"Okay! I'm in a hurry! Can you let me pick and choose?" said Delin.
"Absolutely. The receptionist pulled out a magic panel from under the table, and many people's names were written on it. The first row is red, and the second is purple...... The most are the green ones below. A lot of them are shining with magic. "These glowing magical ones are idle, on standby, and dim ones are on a mission. These colors do not represent their strength, the stars next to them are, one star indicates a level 18 Sage, and three stars represent a level 20 Sage. The color only represents how much points they owe. The receptionist explained earnestly.
Delin was choosing, when suddenly a dull red font brightened, instantly drawing his attention to the past.
"He's the one to choose him!"
