"How many residents haven't been brought here?"

Lilith asked the Templars in front of her, who had already prepared for the possible invasion of the city, but had brought so many ghouls into the heavily guarded town of Black Mountain......

A traitor?

Lilith couldn't help but worry about Doris when she thought about this, she seemed to have gone looking for Adolf, and before leaving, she made a point of expressing her concerns.

A few days ago, Adolf had taken Joshua away from Black Mountain, and although she didn't report it to Lilith in the first place, she had become more and more uneasy in the past few days.

Don't look at Lilith's clumsy appearance, but as the Templar who guards the Holy Maiden, she is indeed a gifted knight.

As she gets closer to the legend, Doris should be able to capture that mysterious sixth sense.

Because of this, Lilith is very uneasy about Lilith, who has not yet returned.

"Most of the people have been gathered in this place, and the Holy Maiden can now let us go and kill the ghouls."

The Templars immediately answered Lilith's question, but Lilith could hear a hint of anxiety in the other man's words.

Are the Templars on this frontier so murderous?

"I see, a part of the local guards will guard the church, and the rest of the Templars will focus on the church and launch a full-scale siege of the ghouls."

"Yes."

At Lilith's command, the Templars cheered, giving eternal sleep to the dead being, which was what they wanted to do.

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Rape."

……

Regardless of the fact that there was something wrong mixed with it, Lilith had to admit that although the force in front of her was only a hundred men, its combat power was amazing.

They relied on their weapons and armor to slaughter hordes of ghouls who were not a high threat to the ground, and they were even more afraid of death than the ghouls.

Until......

"Knock~"

The tremor came from the earth, and Lilith's mental power was already scattered around to explore the residents who might not have been rescued, so she also discovered the source of the shock for the first time.

It was a giant made of pieces of flesh, its mouth spread apart, its six eyes looking around without dead ends, and sharp bones breaking through the skin on its four arms.

Ancient Leather Giants?

Lilith frowned as she looked at the behemoth in front of her, about three people tall, a creature that would normally only wander in the forbidden land, but now it was here.

"Kill."

"Wait, you're not ...... at all"

Before Lilith could stop it, some knights who were close to the ancient kin giants slew at the monster with their weapons, as if they didn't feel any fear.

It is not even felt that they are rushing to death.

"Smack~"

It wasn't the sound of a heavy object hitting or a blunt gouge, it was as if someone had pinched a tomato with their bare hands.

As the tomato crumbled, the hands were covered with ketchup.

Any Ancient Leather Giant has elite-level strength, and this one is obviously different.

"Roar~"

A roar came from its mouth, and then in Lilith's perception, more and more ancient leather giants came towards this very thought.

"Everyone hurry up and come back and get in good shape, or ......"

Unfortunately, no one listened to Lilith, and the Templars were thoroughly inflamed by the death of their teammates.

Killing the red-eyed, they didn't want to kill the ancient leather giants, but the result was just a little "ketchup" on the ground.

"There's no need to call them, as a saint, you should also know the efficacy of the potion of madness, right?"

A dwarf nezumi appeared above the eaves, and he looked at the people who had been crushed to powder, and sinister snickering echoed.

The Rage Elixir, that was a low-grade potion, an alchemical potion that had no obvious side effects, but strengthened the body and overcame fear, something so cheap that an alchemy apprentice could make.

However, this premise is based on low concentrations.

"A high concentration of berserk potion?"

Lilith is very knowledgeable and naturally understands the other side of the berserk potion.

Most of the berserk potions circulating on the market are inferior potions with a lot of impurities and poor effects, and the various forces allow the circulation of this potion because its side effects are indeed small, and at the same time, the high concentration of berserk potions is harmful and not beneficial.

People have limits, and there are boundaries to the improvement of potions, even if the concentration of berserk potions increases, the ability to improve is limited, and at the same time, they have to endure more side effects.

Crazy, irritable, hallucinating......

The end of taking that potion will only become a frenzied killing machine, the pain will be masked, the fear will be melted, and all actions will become the driving force of destruction, as it is now.

The question is when?

"You guessed it, didn't you?"

Carter's voice came from above, and although only a slight emotion could be felt in Lilith, it was not difficult to guess her thoughts.

"You want to sow discord?"

Regardless of whether Lilith doubts it in her heart or not, she can't afford to lose the momentum at this time, once she admits that Adolf is a traitor, then it means that the possible support behind the other party has come to naught.

At this time, the town of Montenegro, for those ordinary people, still needs such hope.

"Do you need it? At this point, I've already won. ”

Carter strolled on the eaves, but with a turn, he disappeared into his original position, and then a sword light fell directly on the place where he was standing, directly splitting the entire house in half.

"Oops~ The last guest has arrived."

Carter looked in the direction of the sword light, and a priest dragged the sword to the ground, sparks rubbing the tip of the sword against the ground with each step.

The stars are dotted, as if killing intent.

"Where did you get Father Andrei?"

"Andrey? I don't remember the names of the dead, but if it's a corpse related to you......"

Carter snapped his fingers, and then a giant of ancient leather took a step forward, and as the rotting flesh on its chest squirmed, human faces appeared on its chest.

Among these faces was an acquaintance of Joshua.

"The Giants of the Ancient Leather were able to access some of the fighting instincts of the food when they ate, and although they could not understand many of them, the harvest this time was unexpected."

As Carter spoke, the Giant made a gesture that was familiar to Joshua, a special knightly salute before the Templars sparred.

It can be seen that this is Carter's agitation method.

Even with an absolute advantage, he still uses his steadyness, and it is much easier to deal with an opponent who has lost his mind than against a calm opponent.

It's just a pity that he was disappointed.

"Oh, so what? I've always been indifferent. ”

Joshua's expression was so cold that even Carter couldn't sense the mood swings, and Joshua seemed to have an icy tone all year round, like a valley where the wind was howling.

"Since you don't care, is it really good for you to stay here? You must know that the inner ghost has not been caught, so you are not afraid of ......"

"Inner ghost?"

Joshua interrupted Carter's words directly, and at the same time he controlled the muscles of his face and pulled out an eerie smile.

"Isn't the inner ghost Doris?"

……

"Anna, you seem familiar with these little alleys."

Doris looked at Anna who was walking her through the dark alleys, and she was all too familiar even as a local.

"When I was grabbing food with Joshua and other beggars, if I wasn't familiar with the environment here, I would vomit out as much as I robbed, so I won't forget it."

Anna took Doris to walk in what had been a "secret passage", and soon came to the vicinity of the church.

At this time, there were only a few lowly local guards, and Anna did not feel Lilith's breath.

"The Holy Maiden should have gone to deal with those cultists, but there should still be a healing alchemy potion in the room, and if I find it, I should be able to recover quickly."

Although it was a blow that pierced through the chest, Doris was a grandmaster who cultivated fighting spirit.

Controlling the flow of blood and delaying one's injuries was not difficult for a Grandmaster.

Seeing Doris's insistence, Anna led her into the church, but the guards were limited and didn't find them.

"Most of the alchemy potions were placed on Her Highness, but she also deliberately kept a bottle, which was in the cabinet under the statue of the goddess."

Doris leads the way, adhering to the principle that all eggs are not in one basket, which is what she often says to Lilith.

"I'll get you the potion as soon as I can."

Anna was sure that Doris was not in danger anytime soon, so she set her aside, and she walked alone to the idol of the goddess.

The church in Black Mountain Town is not small, and the children and residents are not placed in this vicinity, so Anna is not worried about being discovered, after all, there is no guarantee that there are no high-ranking ghouls pretending to be among those residents.

Once Anna had turned her back, Doris slowly got up, some of the flesh buds in the hollow in her chest began to wriggle, and then recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then he had shown it once in front of Joshua, and the stealth technique that could easily sneak up on the strong master was used again.

Open it, open it.

Doris's steps are lighter than those of a cat, taking into account the vibrations of the air at every step, and keeping herself and Anna at a perfect distance.

A distance that can be attacked at the first time without being detected.

Anna came to the cabinet, she didn't seem to notice anything behind her, and then she opened the cabinet and it was ...... A freshly cut off living head.

Now is the time.

In his astonished gaze, blood spilled in the air.

"Sure enough, even you can't get rid of these events."

Anna condensed into a sword blade with a fighting spirit, and although Joshua had warned her, she decided to confirm that even if Doris might be a ghost, she wanted to confirm the identity of the other party.

Now and surely, Doris is the man in the black robe.

"When did you see through it? I'm really curious. ”

Doris looked at the imprint of the stigmata on her arm, which had not yet faded, the mark she had left when she had planned to attack the church and take Jessica away.

A moment of carelessness had left a mark on her, and these days she had been keeping an eye out for this stigmata to avoid being discovered, and she could make sure that no one could find it.

So the question comes back, where are the flaws?

"Who knows? I just absolutely trust Joshua's judgment. ”

Of course, Anna doesn't have such a good brain, she has been living under Joshua's command since she was a child, don't say that Doris has the mark of the stigma, even if there is no mark Joshua wants to kill her, Anna will kill her.

"Is it Joshua? That guy said something wrong with you before he left. ”

Doris still can't think clearly, but it doesn't matter, even if Joshua and Lilith join forces, they won't be a match for the Darkmoon Sage, as for the person in front of him......

"If you want to hate, hate Joshua, since he has doubts about me, he should come with you to escort me, leaving you alone to kill you in disguise."

Although Doris kept most of the ghouls outside, she didn't think she would lose to Anna when it came to vindictive cultivation alone.

"Bang~"

There was a loud bang, and just as Doris was thinking, Anna was ready to kill.

I saw her punch and directly shatter the head of the only statue of light in the church, which is not what a believer should do anyway.

"In order to clean up the poisonous blood inside the church, the goddess should forgive me, right? Doris. ”

Anna brushed away the smoke and dust around her, and a silver-white sword hilt was embedded in the stone statue, like a white dove with its wings outstretched.

"The Sword of the Branches?"

Doris couldn't believe that there were only twelve holy swords among the Templars.

Legend has it that on the day the goddess of light became a god, a white dove was crowned with a branch, and that year was also recorded as the year of the white dove, and the Templars forged twelve holy swords in honor of this.

"The Holy Sword can only be given to the Templars above the legend, Andrei......"

Doris pondered the name Andrei, but in the end it turned out to be nothing, apparently the old priest who had taught Anna here had used a pseudonym.

But this is interesting, she has also seen the corpse of that priest, and it is true that there is no cultivation, which means that Father Andre has been energized by some things that has caused his cultivation to continue to decline, and finally he has become an ordinary person.

Father André became an ordinary person, but the sword was still not recovered, and no one even came to retrieve it for a long time after his death, which shows that Andre had a very high status among the Templars.

Is it someone who is a strong man who suppresses the forbidden land?

Forget it, this is not something Doris has to think about now, the legendary holy sword was pulled from the idol and held in Anna's hand.

Anna understands that Joshua is not asking her to die, but that Joshua does not want Anna to face another battlefield, one where Father Andre must be killed.
