"Hell...... It's hell! "Great Lord, I beseech you to save your believers......"

After the apocalyptic scene fell, the whole harbor town was suddenly in chaos, and the improvised militia guards were unable to maintain order, and the streets and alleys could be seen running in a hurry.

The raging fire that ignited from the docks continued to expand in the direction of the wind, as if to encompass the entire harbor town.

"Move the things that started the fire for me, create an open enough area, where is the fire brigade? Get in on the action! Captain Tyris, the Captain of the Makeshift Guard, shouted hoarsely, trying to stop the spreading fire using the isolation method taught by Master 'Yadean' earlier.

It's a pity that the morale of the entire guard team has almost collapsed, and many people have abandoned their weapons and fled like crazy towards the outside of Harbor Town, ignoring his orders at all.

Seeing the raging tongue of fire getting closer and closer, Tyris's whole person was already in despair.

At this moment, a loud voice like thunder rang in my ears.

"Hail to Ella, the Kingdom of Heaven is coming!"

At this moment, the extremely chaotic harbor town seemed to stand still in time, and all the people fleeing in panic all stopped, and they all stopped and looked up at the night sky.

The cloud of dust that had been hanging over the city was torn apart by some powerful force, and then a dazzling white light fell from the sky and sprinkled every corner of Harbortown.

Under the sweep of the white light, everyone felt that their tired bodies were re-energized, and the despair and fear in their hearts were rapidly subsiding.

A man who had broken his leg by falling rocks in the disaster was surprised to find that his broken leg had recovered, and his face suddenly showed extremely fanatical piety.

The raging fire, which covered half of the city and was known as the flame of hell and the incarnation of the devil, was also quickly extinguished under such a force and disappeared without a trace.

Then, the pure and flawless white light gradually converged, turning into a holy and noble goddess phantom, she looked down on all beings, her eyes twinkling with stars, full of mystery and majesty.

"Lord, you have not abandoned your most devout believers!"

"The Devil...... The devil is dead...... Great Lord of the Stars, Ella, thank you for your salvation......"

"Lord, I will repent of my sins......

Tens of thousands of townspeople in Harbour Town knelt on the ground, praying incessantly, expressing their gratitude for the Lord's favor, and many of them even kissed the land feverishly to show their piety.

Of all the people present, the only one who still had some sanity was Tiris.

After being illuminated by the white light, a fanatical devotion also rose in his heart, but he did not kneel down on the spot, as if some magical force stopped his actions.

At some point, a middle-aged man in a red and gold robe and an iron mask appeared beside him.

"Cardinal!" Tyriss immediately recognized the identity of the visitor from the other party's clothing, and saluted very respectfully.

"What about Ansulk? Why did Harbour Town become what it is? Edwell looked around at the townsfolk who were kneeling on the ground praying sincerely, and asked directly. If I'm not mistaken, the witch hunt would have started at noon tomorrow. ”

Two days earlier, the Holy City had received a message from Amsik for help, the archbishop of Nordland, who led an elite guard to nearly wipe out several wizards in the process of rounding up several wizards, even though he used the magic of divine descent to keep his opponent behind.

According to the process of the Inquisition, no matter how tricky the official wizard is, it is not worth letting him take action personally, but Ansik specifically mentioned in the letter that the other party is very young, and most of them will become a threat to the Holy See in the future.

What's even more terrifying is that the other party can use a very strange kind of hellfire, if it spreads, it is afraid that it will burn down a town in a short time, but Ansulk has no way to deal with it.

It was with these in mind that in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he decided to go to Harbor Town in person, and after sensing the fluctuations caused by the explosion of divine power on the way, he even left the priest accompanying him and rushed over alone as fast as he could.

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

"Here's the thing, Cardinal, just earlier tonight, two devilish followers broke into Harbour Town and set the granary on fire......" Tyris recounted the story as succinctly as possible.

When he heard that it was the wizard that Ansulk was hunting down that destroyed the harbor docks, Adwell's face suddenly became solemn.

A great wizard actually hides his power, disguised and lurks in Nordland territory, and it doesn't take a thought to know that the other party must be planning some kind of conspiracy to subvert the empire and the Holy See.

Thinking of this, Edwell saw through the vision of the god's projection, through the ruins of the harbor dock and the vast sea, the sail warship that was sailing into the fog.

After roughly calculating the distance, Edwell quickly gave up on the idea of doing it, even if he used the strongest magic he mastered, it would not be enough to pose a threat to a great wizard at such a distance.

"You've done a good job this time, at least you haven't caused the empire to suffer more losses."

In Edwell's opinion, it was a fortunate thing to find out a very hidden great wizard at the cost of only half of the harbor town.

Before, he thought that Ansulk was a waste, and he was so embarrassed by an official wizard, and he was preparing to dismiss the identity of the archbishop of the other party after this incident, but now it seems that it is a crime of non-war, and Amsulk's defeat is completely due to the enemy's too strong strength.

Moreover, the casualties in Harbor Town were far lower than he expected, Edwell thought that such a big disaster, tens of thousands of townspeople would at least kill and wound more than half, but judging from the number of souls that were included in the Holy Land, such a big disaster actually killed less than 5,000 people, including 3,000 Black Armor Guards.

It's nothing short of a miracle......

"It's all Lord Adrian's orders." Tyris's face was full of resentment. "But Lord Adrian has already followed Bishop Ann Pyk into the harbor, and now I'm afraid it's ......."

"It's a pity!" Edwell said with regret that he was able to calm down the chaos in Harbor Town in a short period of time, and organize the militia guards to quickly evacuate the townspeople, which was definitely a rare commanding talent.

"Has Sulpho gathered any information about the archwizard over the past few days?" Edwell asked again.

Tyriss hesitated for a moment, these things were not accessible to him, the captain of the guard, but fortunately, Merck, the lord of Harbor Town, had already rushed over, and after learning of the cardinal's request, he immediately asked people to bring out the information that Ansulk had given him before.

However, after Edwell took the parchment scroll and looked at it a few times, his expression quickly froze.

Cal...... The illegitimate son of the Imperial nobleman Viscount Stellland, who is only seventeen years old this year, disappeared half a year ago, and the wizard Coru they captured had reached Stellland Territory at the same time.

It is speculated that the wizard named Carl may have been one of Koru's apprentices.

"Which idiot is this all this information collected by a fool?" Edwell scolded with great dissatisfaction.

This is complete nonsense, a new apprentice of a full-fledged wizard who has not been accepted for half a year can use the magic that destroys half of Seaport Town?

I'm afraid the intelligence officers in Nordland have gone crazy......

The Lord of Harbor Town trembled and didn't dare to reply.

Edwell didn't pay any attention to Merck, but took out the golden tome on his waist and flipped to the latest page, using his fingers as a pen to engrave the new information into it.

[Name: Carl (real name not confirmed)
