Chapter 552: The Temple of the Holy Maiden, the Adventurer

As is customary, the Milandi Alliance will definitely send troops to patrol the defense line to prevent dark creatures from breaking into the territory or being attacked by dark creatures.

Now, the city defense force must be transferred to other places, and the lack of defense in the city of Milan is our chance to launch a counterattack! ”

The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "How do you want to fight?" ”

"First find out the layout of the city defense, find the right time, and take the Holy Maiden Temple and the nearby military camp in one fell swoop."

"There should be a lot of cultists in the Holy Maiden Temple, and there may also be a secret stronghold of the Knights Templar;

The Paladin's Camp is the most important strategic target, and once the Paladin's Camp is destroyed, the Cultists will definitely have nowhere to hide;

As for the barracks...... It only takes a few garrison soldiers to deter the cultists.

Of course, for the sake of safety, we also need to delay the war as much as possible, giving the enemies inside the temple time to perform their magic.

Therefore, please send a few Knights of the Holy Light to the vicinity of the West Gate and the South Gate respectively to attract firepower and cover our operations. ”

The old man nodded and said, "No problem! Come with me! ”

Arthur immediately turned over and dismounted, inserted his sword into the scabbard, and followed closely behind, leading Leon and several knights of the Holy Light, towards the west gate.

Their destination was the Holy Virgin Temple in the west of the city.

The Holy City of Milan is the capital of the Milan Emperor League and the only city in the entire world of Veron to have a temple.

The clergy of this world are mainly concentrated in the holy city of Milan, including the Knights of the Holy Light, there are twelve major religious organizations, and there are seven or eight holy knights.

However, the number of clergy in the temple of the Holy Maiden is relatively small, and there are even only a dozen or so people.

The reason is simple, most of the paladins who live near the Temple of the Holy Virgin are knights of the Knights Templar.

The paladins of the Milan royal family are basically on the front line to conquer orcs and ogres, and they have no time to spare, and they have no spare money to build the temple of the Holy Maiden.

The Templars were too busy with their tasks and did not like to deal with civilians, so the Temple of the Virgin Mary was left in ruins.

It wasn't until today, when news of the fall of the Holy City came that the temple showed signs of being back in operation.

Arthur took Leon to the foot of the city wall, and looked up at the majestic temple building in front of him, with a solemn and jealous expression on his face.

The walls of the holy city of Milan, made of gold, are so steep that they look like a giant beast with its mouth open.

Beneath the city walls, there are piles of all sorts of disorganized timber and broken bricks, as well as many broken flagpoles and watchtowers.

On top of the city wall, there are also rough and clumsy catapults.

The catapult is a long-range weapon specially made by the city defense force, with a range of more than 300 steps, equipped with sophisticated armor and crossbows, covering a radius of about 500 meters, and can throw grenades very far.

At the head of the city, there were also a large number of spearmen and heavy archers, as well as many elite knights armed with spears and scimitars at their waists.

On the watchtower above the city wall, two cannons were also erected, aiming at the temple of the Holy Maiden in the distance.

"There are several Knights of Light and four members of the Knights Templar living there......"

Arthur said quickly, "I just detected their strength, to be exact, their soul fluctuations - this is the holy emblem they wear, representing their true body.

In this case, even if someone wants to assassinate the Holy Maiden, it may not be easy to succeed. ”

He reached out and grabbed a crystal ball and threw it in the direction of the Holy Virgin Temple.

The transparent crystal ball hovered dozens of meters away from the temple of the Holy Maigen, slowly spinning, sprinkling a hazy mist of light.

Arthur stared up at the crystal ball, waiting for a moment.

In the next second, the light mist expanded rapidly, gradually enveloping the Holy Maiden Temple.

Between the distortion of light and shadow, a burly man with a short stature wearing heavy armor appeared and stood at the door of the temple of the Holy Maiden.

"These guys are Templars!" Arthur whispered.

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the group of guys.

With gray-blue furry ears, two long tentacles on their heads, and sharp claws at the ends of their arms, these creatures look like some kind of wild and untamed birds of prey.

The Templars were all sturdy and powerful, with their broadswords and broadaxes shining brightly, each of which seemed to be able to split through steel plates with ease.

Their armor was also silver-gray, and their shoulders and chest and abdomen were intricately carved with ornamentation, as if they had been polished from some kind of metal, and emitted a faint fluorescent glow.

"I've heard of these Templars."

Aldington walked over and whispered, "They are natural combat professionals, not only good at training, but very good at fighting.

The Knights Templar have a collective name called the 'Battle Knights', and they are the most elite combat class of the Milan Imperial Alliance, and their combat power is comparable to that of an army! ”

"Well, the momentum of these guys is really scary......"

Li Ang bowed slightly, but a trace of doubt surged in his heart.

Although these Templars looked fierce and menacing, as if they could pounce and bite at any moment.

But Leon felt that the aura of these guys was a little too weak, and they were completely a rabble.

If it is a well-trained soldier, coupled with a strong physique and exquisite skills, it will definitely not be like this.

Leon faintly smelled a strong smell of blood and gunpowder from these Templars.

Those guys...... Seems to have just been involved in intense hand-to-hand combat?

"Arthur,"

Li Ang tilted his head, looked at the young demon hunter and asked, "What are you entering the Milan Emperor Alliance for this time?" ”

"This ......"

Arthur hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The specific target is not clear, we are only responsible for infiltrating and spying on the enemy......"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Straight to the top? ”

Arthur sighed, "It's not that I didn't think of directly raiding the Temple of the Holy Maiden, but there are too many of these guys!"

In addition to the Templars, there were also a number of fanatical followers who gathered around the temple.

If we act rashly, we will inevitably suffer a heavy blow......"

"Hehe, I understand."

Leon shook his head and said, "We can't take any chances...... But we can take a detour! ”

"Huh?"

Arthur was slightly stunned and said in surprise, "How to get around?" ”

"Well...... this"

Li Ang smiled, suddenly pulled out the long dagger on his waist, pointed at the temple of the Holy Maiden with the dagger, and said indifferently:

"If you don't dare to approach the temple of the Holy Maiden, then I will help you and give them a ride.

Remember, make sure to keep me safe! ”

Arthur looked at Leon in a daze, and before he could react, he saw Leon open his thighs and run down the slope towards the temple of the Holy Maiden.

"Uh......"
