In his recollections, Soth remembered that Argus had spoken more than once about destroying the country. I thought he was just dissatisfied with the people in power in the empire, but I never thought that he would do it so thoroughly..."

Those black cavalry don't look like human beings, they are wrapped in black armor and wield the obsidian sword in their hands, and they can cut through the walls made of rock with their ** strength alone, ordinary humans will never be able to do this.

In particular, the thick, carrion-like aura of death could be smelled even from a distance, and they breathed while constantly puffing out frost mist, similar to the legendary Death Knight.

But where did Argus find such an army, where the Death Knights did not exist in the realm of death, nor in the abyss, where demons lived, and it is said that they were dark creatures turned by the fall of man?

Thinking about it, Soth still couldn't get a reasonable explanation.

Amid the cries of about a hundred villagers, the twenty Death Knight chained them with expressionless faces, during which several of the young and strong villagers tried to resist, only to be cut in two by a Death Knight with a long sword made of obsidian, without hesitation.

"Is this the army that Argus has in his hands now?" Soth frowned slightly, he had a hunch that perhaps this battle with Argus would no longer be a one-on-one battle like last time, but a battle between armies and armies. As long as Argus is still thinking about destroying the empire, then it is very likely that he will avoid fighting with himself this time, after all, the battle between the apostles cannot be said to be really who is strong and who is weak.

Just as Soth was thinking about the battle with Argus in the future, the zealous new bishop Bang Hamsworth seemed to be unable to hold back, and whispered in a tone of strong anger, "We must no longer let those dark creatures do whatever they want" As clergy, we need to save these helpless people!

Glancing at Father Bang's expression that was impatient, wanting to go but not daring to go up, Soth snorted lightly and said lightly, "Clergy?, the clergy here is only you, don't forget, I'm just an ordinary person now!"

"......" Father Bang's expression suddenly became very exciting, he opened his mouth, and said hesitantly, "Your Excellency, your current identity is an ordinary person, but you are also an ordinary person with great power, how can you sit back and watch those innocent people being persecuted by heretics?"

"What about Hua?" Soth snorted softly, leaning against a tree trunk in a different position, and sat on the ground with his hands on his pillow, as if he didn't want to interfere.

It is also "Influenced by the power of Sloth, he has no enthusiasm for external things at all, and for him, those villagers are just strangers, dead or alive, so what does it have to do with him?"

"Lord Woolmont!" Father Bon looked at Soth with a strong displeasure, "but Sos remained unmoved," for he was now concerned with only one purpose, and perhaps, that was the only purpose, as he had told Argus at the beginning......

Baptized "never wanted to be the savior of this world"

"Lord Woolmont.........

"Shut up!" "Shut up!" Father Bon sneered and said, "Don't you think your idea is too idealistic? This kind of thing can be seen everywhere in the empire now, how many people can you save? Even if you save these people, then what about after that? They will still encounter this kind of thing, how long can you protect them? Let's be realistic, Bon Harmsworth, the culprit of all this is Argus, and if you don't solve him, nothing will change at all!"

"But ......," said Father Bon in a reverent tone, taking a deep breath, "but I cannot tolerate it, and I know that this phenomenon may be everywhere in the current Empire...... Do you know, Lord Wormon, I have always believed that one person can save the world!," he said, glancing in the direction of the village, and shrunk back.

Looking at his departing back, a few waves appeared in South's eyes that were as quiet as stagnant water.

Saving one person, that is, saving the whole world?, really dare to say...... "......"

Father Bang crept along the earthen wall outside the village towards the villagers who were chained with iron chains, but luckily only two Death Knights were guarding the villagers, while the others were burning the village.

When they saw Father Bang's figure, the villagers who were already desperate suddenly lit the flame of hope again, looking at him with eager eyes, and one of the women holding the baby was even more distracted and begged for help, "Please help us.........

"Shhhh

After hearing the woman's voice, the two Death Knights suddenly turned their heads and met their gaze with Father Bang.

"This is terrible...... secretly let out a wry smile, looking at the two death knights who rushed straight over, Father Bang condensed what little holy power he had, and shouted loudly, "Disarm!"

Hearing only two crotch sounds, the two death knights immediately threw away the obsidian knight sword in their hands as if they were under some kind of mental control, but after coming back to their senses, they picked up the knight's sword again with a blank face.

After all, disarming is just a kind of peaceful magic, using coercive psychic magic similar to words and spirits to make the recipient abandon anything that can be used as a weapon in his hand, but it will not cause harm, even if it is a dark creature, this is also one of the magic known by the Holy See hundreds of years ago, and now, the power is so small that ordinary priests even give up on mastering it.

"Disarm!"

There was no way, Father Bang just cast the only enemy magic repeatedly, during which he hurriedly shouted to the villagers, "Hurry, run!"

The villagers, who were only chained to their waists and did not hinder their mobility, stood up in panic when they heard Father Bang's warning, and ran in the direction of Father Bang at a loss, during which the woman holding the baby fell to the ground due to excessive panic.

The voices of the villagers may have alarmed the death knights who were burning houses in the village, and they hurried out, "After seeing this scene outside the village again, not to mention any change in their expressions, at least the aura of death on their bodies is a little stronger."

"Disarm!"

"Disarm!"

"Disarm!"

Father Bon kept casting his only magic against the enemy, and he could see that "the villagers were just terrified of the cruelty of the Death Knights, they were not able to run, they just didn't dare to run, and if they escaped, they would be killed by the Death Knights."

So his original idea was to let himself contain these Death Knights, delay the time for the villagers, and let them escape as smoothly as possible, which was a good idea, but he never expected that such a thing would happen: a woman with a baby in her arms would fall and break her foot in a panic......

"It's terrible!" Father Bon sneered bitterly, and immediately ran in front of the woman who was sitting on the ground, with a frightened and frightened look, but in the face of the nearly twenty death knights, he couldn't help but feel powerless.

After all, his paltry powers weren't enough to delay the Death Knights.

"Jenny!" Suddenly, "One of the villagers turned back, maybe it was the woman's husband, and when he saw his wife in danger, the sense of duty made him turn back, but what could he do with his hands tied behind his back?"

"Don't go!" the man let out a desperate final cry of "ahhhh

But as a result, "the strength of the human race was not enough to shake the dark body of the Death Knight, and the Death Knight didn't even shake for a moment, as if it were a solid wall."

Looking at the man who had fallen to the ground due to the rebound of strength, the Death Knight did not show the slightest ripple on his numb face, picked up the Obsidian Knight Sword that had fallen from the ground, and raised it high...... "Don't!" shouted the woman with the baby in tow.

Looking at the obsidian knight's sword that was getting closer and closer to him" The fear in the man's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and suddenly, the obsidian long sword stopped, because an arm suddenly stretched out next to him and grabbed him firmly.

"You ......" looked at the boy who suddenly appeared next to him, who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the man was shocked and couldn't speak.

"Stand back!" the boy said, glancing at the black man, in a tone of indifference.

"Yes...... ，... It's ............" The man who had lucky enough to pick up a life ran to his woman, perhaps a little worried about the young man, and turned his head backwards as he ran, only then did he notice that the young man had just grasped the blade of the obsidian longsword with his right hand.

"Your Excellency Wormon!" Father Bon couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness that he had survived in a desperate situation.

"Hmph!" the young man said coldly, carrying Father Bang lightly, "Don't you have a little self-awareness of your weak strength? Fool! As soon as I said, you can't do anything without great power!" As he spoke, he raised his left hand and pressed it against the chest armor of the Death Knight, only to hear a hissing sound similar to boiling water, and the Death Knight let out a howl of pain, and then, in the pure holy power, it turned to ashes, leaving nothing.

"Sure enough, it's pure death life...... Soth frowned slightly, because he felt that he didn't use much holy power just now, although holy power has a mandatory lethality against dark creatures, but this level is ......

As the Death Knight vanished, his mount in the distance, a horse also clad in black armor, turned into a pile of dust.

How did Argus get such an army out of disadvantage?

Just as he was thinking, Soth suddenly heard Father Bang's warning voice.

"Be careful, Lord Wormon!"

Soth looked up to see that the Death Knights were already on their mounts, black spears in their left hands and obsidian swords in their right hands, swooping down towards him.

Hmph!" Soth slowly raised his left hand with a soft snort.

In Father Bang's stunned and unbelievable eyes, just as the death knights' spears were about to stab Soth, Soth suddenly disappeared in place, and then, only to see a burst of glimmer of light, Soth actually appeared in front of each of the death knights at the same time, and tapped it on their chests with his left hand with great speed, and then suddenly disappeared, and for a while, "it seems that more than a dozen figures appeared" Mirror Magic? No!" Looking at the terrifying scene, Father Bon muttered, "It's a flash, a quick flash...... Awesome!"

In Father Bang's eyes full of longing and envy, Soth appeared behind the Death Knights, raised his left hand, and faintly spat out two words.

"Conviction,!"

As soon as the words fell, a trace of light representing the holy power faintly appeared on the chest armor of those death knights who were touched by Soth, and immediately, this power suddenly exploded and spread around, like a rich word frame"...

In the cross-bladed holy power like a cross, those galloping death knights suddenly paused, and let out a painful wail, "Immediately, even the men and horses turned into a trace of dust and scattered to the ground.

"Amazing...... ，... Terrible...... ,..." muttered the man who was comforting his woman in surprise.

"Of course!" said with a light-hearted smile, Father Bon patted the dust off his body, only to smile wryly when he saw the mockery in Soth's eyes.

"Hmph!" Turning his head to Father Bang, he snorted coldly, and Soth snapped his fingers, and the iron rope that bound the man and woman suddenly broke and fell to the ground.

An hour later, the surviving villagers, with the help of Father Bang, extinguished the fire in the village, moved all the surviving food to the open lot in the middle of the village" and lit several bonfires and cooked a sumptuous dinner to express their gratitude to Sos and Father Bang.

From beginning to end" Soth, who was sitting by the campfire, lowered his head and silently looked at the flames in the campfire, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly, as he handed over a full cup next to him.

"This is the village's own fruit wine..."The woman named Jenny looked at Soth with grateful eyes, and bowed her head and said, "Thank you for saving our whole village!"

"......" glanced at the other party, Soth took the cup, and said lightly, "Is the injury on your foot healed?"

"Hmm," the woman nodded, turning her head in Father Bang's direction and said, "The priest has cured me for ......"

Looking at Father Bang, who was surrounded by a large group of villagers and chatting with them very well, Soth shook his head speechlessly, took a sip from his cup, and the familiar taste seemed to remind him of the past.

On the other hand, Father Bang did have a very speculative conversation with the villagers, after all, this guy was much kinder than Soth's unapproachable expression.

"Are you a priest from Thessalonia? Thank you so much"...... An old man shook Father Bang's hand and kept saying thanks.

"Where, where," said Father Bang, embarrassedly, and then curious, "what is going on here?" Those Death Knights, why did you arrest you?"

"Alas," the old man sighed gloomily, shook his head, and said, "We don't know the specifics, but after hearing that the villagers of the nearby villages were taken by them and taken to Sassen, we fled to the mountains...... We hid in the mountains for a long time, thinking that they had already left, and besides, there was not enough food to bring, so we came back, but we didn't expect to come back only a few days later, and we ran into those evil spirits again...... ，...”

"I see," said Father Bang, frowning and thinking for a moment, kindly asked, "what are you going to do in the future?"

"The village is already like this, and besides, those demons don't know when they will come again............ I've thought about it, we're going to go, Boydel," the old man said with a sigh.

"Boydle?"

"Well, that's the city of Operiels, and I heard that the merchants of Operiels have formed an army of knights and fought off those demons many times, so it's ............safe for the time being," he said, the old man paused, and said curiously, "Speaking of which, why did the priest of Salonia appear here?"

"It's nothing," Father Bang said with a smile after taking a sip of the village's own fruit wine, "I have been ordered by His Majesty the Pope of the Holy See to go to Scottel to discuss some matters with the dark magicians of your empire......

"Oh, Scottel ............" the old man nodded in relief, and then as if he remembered something, he sighed secretly, "I heard that Scottel is also one of the few safe places now, but there are a large number of magicians gathered there to compete with the magical forces of the Sassen Imperial City, and I heard that it does not contain civilians like us...... ，... It's only Operels, we can only go there........." He raised his hand and reminded kindly, "If it's going to Sgedall, then you're going in the wrong direction, Sgedel is in the northwest direction......"

"You know?" Father Bon couldn't help but be a little surprised, after all, under normal circumstances, how could an ordinary civilian know where Scottel was?

"It's impossible not to know, there are wars going on all over the country from time to time, and Sgdell is now the center of the magical forces of Freedom, uniting some of the major cities in the west, resisting the armies of those demons, like the Operiels I just mentioned...... Those demon armies are very powerful, as you have just seen, ordinary people are not their opponents at all, without the help of the dark magician, I think Operiels may have been captured by those demon armies......" As he spoke, the old man paused, quietly glanced at Soth, and asked in a low voice, "Is that kid also your priest in Thessalonia......? ，...”

"Uh," said Father Bang, awkwardly reluctantly, "yes, even in our Salonia, there is basically no one who can defeat him."

A few minutes later, Father Bon came to Soth's side with a plate of barbecue, and when he saw that he was still holding an empty cup and staring at the campfire, he handed the plate in his hand and said lightly, "It's so lucky, the villagers said they would take us to Boydel and then we could reach Sgdal ...... just by going straight north."

Glancing at Father Bang, Soth said lightly, "Just ask for directions, we can get there without them leading the way!Are you going to escort them to Boydel? When did the cardinals of the Holy See become as cheap as mercenaries?"

"Oh, you can't say that, what if they run into those Death Knights again?

"Hmph, didn't you say you didn't want to see barbecue again?"

"There's no way, isn't it, after all, this is the kindness of the villagers, if you don't eat it all, wouldn't it be rude?"

“......”

After daybreak, the villagers took down the few cattle and horses hidden in the mountains, cut down some trees, and built a few simple but crude wagons to transport the surviving crops and grain.

Immediately, after drinking a bowl of broth for breakfast, the team headed for Boydel.

Maybe out of Lady Luck's care, they didn't encounter an army similar to the Death Knight along the way, but it saved a lot of trouble.

After a slow two-day journey, they came to the supposedly peaceful city of "Boydel."

On the way, they encountered many patrolling knights, which showed that the defense here was quite strong.

At the gates of the city, Soth and Father Bon said goodbye to the villagers, intending to rest here for the night and then continue towards Sgdal, but as soon as he entered the city, Father Bon saw that the people on the street looked at him and especially himself with very strange eyes, as if they were some kind of bad looks, which made him feel very strange.

He looked up and down curiously, but nothing was wrong.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that he was clothes!

The uniform worn by Soth was unique to the Holy Inquisition, which ordinary Imperial people would find strange but unrecognizable, but what Father Bon was wearing, which was a cardinal's red robe in the style of a formal and decent Holy See, could be distinguished at a glance by a little insight.

As Soss said before, the attitude of the people of the empire towards Salonia is not so kind.

"Bang!" Suddenly, Father Bang felt that he had been hit, and before he could react, the fierce-looking mercenary standing in front of him said in an inexplicable tone, "Don't you walk without opening your eyes?"

"Uh," Father Bang replied, feeling a little stunned, "I don't want to offend you, but in fact you bumped into it, right?"

"What did you say?"

There was a bang, and a large group of mercenaries surrounded him, all glaring at Father Bang with vicious eyes.

Looking at Father Bang's pleading eyes, Soth said lightly, "Didn't you say earlier that you would be asked to change your clothes?"

"I can't say that, I'm representing the Holy See this time......" Father Bang looked a little overwhelmed as he looked at the mercenaries who were deliberately causing trouble.

At the same time, at the other end of the road, a young man with a pale yellow head wearing a golden knight's armor was leading a servant and leading a war horse to the city gate.

Suddenly, there was a strange look in his eyes, as if mixed with surprise and disbelief.

"Huh
