Leon stayed in the church for a long time.

He was groping for the sub-module skills of the Divine Physique Red Knight, and he was sure that when he had completely mastered this ability, he would be qualified for a few moves even in the face of a weaker high sequence.

Inside the church, the space ripples, layered on top of each other, like folded waves, and then, from the ripples, a human figure is refracted from the ripples.

He wears armor decorated with azure blue patterns, and the hem of his clothes is decorated with feather-like openwork decorations.

He stood in front of Li Ang and frowned, "You are the Red Knight?"

"The premise of asking others who they are, shouldn't it be to introduce yourself in advance?"

Li Ang's expression was very solemn, he could feel the surging divine power on the body of the comer, this was a real demigod, high sequence!

The visitor suddenly showed an apologetic wry smile: "I'm sorry, there may be something wrong with my tone...... I am the patron saint of the El Valen and a dear friend of Lady Nasha, and everyone calls me the Phoenix King, Anivia. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Anivia, I'm Leon, the Red Knight. ”

"You don't have to use the title 'sir', the phoenix has no gender, just call me Anivia, Red Knight, there seems to be something wrong with your strength?"

Li Ang said calmly: "That's right. ”

"It's no wonder, after all, you've just recovered, and as long as the divine physique is still there, it won't take a few years to recover as before. ”

Leon frowned: "To be honest, Anivia, you came a little late, with the attainment you just showed in space spells, you have only arrived now, some can't be justified, right?"

Anivia smiled bitterly: "Before I set off, I was attacked by a demigod-level demon - it was very powerful, and I fought for my life to hit it hard. ”

"A life?"

"Whether it's an ice phoenix like me or a fire phoenix that is relatively common, there are three chances to reverse death. ”

Li Ang suddenly said: "Phoenix Nirvana?"

"That's right. ”

After Anivia finished speaking, she asked with a somewhat apprehensive expression, "Red Knight, has Lady Nasha really fallen?"

Leon was a little puzzled, "I've heard Kai'Sa and Beludanti tell me that you were the first to make the prophecy that 'Lady Nasha and all the gods have fallen'. ”

Anivia was slightly stunned: "That's right, I did it, but I still don't want to believe it." ”

But that's just the way it is. ”

Anivia sighed lightly: "It's a pity, she is such a kind god, she shouldn't have such an ending." ”

Li Ang felt the same way: "I think so too. ”

...

The northeastern part of the empire at the end of December is at its coldest stage of the year.

In the narrow valley, long lines of refugees dug dirt pits, surrounded by soldiers guarding them.

The refugees were much larger than humans, with dark yellow or blue-gray skin and two canine teeth protruding from the corners of their mouths.

Other than that, they are very little different from humans.

They are orcs, from the eastern steppes ruled by the orc court, and after the destruction of the royal court and the tribes at the hands of demons, the survivors dragged their families and defected to their old enemies, the human empire!

It's a desperate move, and they have no choice.

The pit was quickly dug out one person high.

The physique of these orcs is obviously higher than that of humans, if it is not for them to occupy, it is a barren eastern steppe, if they are given a piece of fertile enough land to recuperate, and it may not be a human being.

Just as the dirt next to the pit had piled up to a certain height, the human soldiers drew their spears, bows and arrows, and began to attack the orc refugees who were digging in the earth.

The exhausted rebels tried to crawl out of the pit they had dug, and as soon as they showed their heads, they were slashed into blood gourds by three or four steel swords and fell back.

The soldiers began to dig up the earth and bury the dead.

Standing on a high place, the human officer frowned and said, "Are we a little cruel?"

"Heh, it's just a group of aliens, there has been a famine in the eastern part of the empire this year, is it possible that we still want to grab food from the mouths of our own people and distribute it to these orcs?"

"I only see them like us, with arms and legs, and they are afraid and sad. ”

"That's why you, as a prince, were assigned to work beside me. ”

He patted the young officer on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are the only heir to the emperor recognized by the Imperial Senate, even if Your Majesty doesn't like you, you are destined to ascend to that position." ”

The young officer brushed off the general's hand, and he said coldly: "Perhaps, I am really not suitable for that position, especially to work with people like you." ”

The general chuckled, "One day, you will also be the kind of us, my naïve Highness." ”

The pit was quickly filled by silent soldiers, and the valley was silent again, as if the screams had never been heard before.

Only on the side, the fir trees covered in snow that were shaken down still recorded the brutal massacre.

The general looked at the soldiers around him and said solemnly: "Today's matter, we must not leak anything out, we still need those orcs to help us defend the city." ”

The soldiers nodded silently, like a sophisticated killing machine, and their faces did not show the slightest emotion.

...

At noon, a terrible storm broke out in the Trojan fortress in the northeastern part of the empire, and the wind crackled on the roofs with snow and ice.

The crackling of branches in the wind, the thud of doors and windows against frames, and, the roar of demons.

Blue-faced fanged orc warriors and human soldiers in stern armor hid in towers, and the storm successfully held back the demons' onslaught.

At the very least, there was no way for those winged demons to fly into the sky in such weather.

"This is a shaman's spell?"

"I think it's Master Antonio's spell. ”

"Whoever it is, I can finally rest for a while. ”

"Hey, big guy, I've got good stuff here. ”

The human soldier quietly took out a wine bottle and threw it over.

The orc's eyes lit up.

"Big man, thank you for saving my life today. ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, we are comrades-in-arms. ”

"Haha, cheers, my orc brother!"

"Cheers!"

After a full meal, orcs and humans snuggle up around the campfire to keep warm.

He rubbed his hands, took out a pocket watch from his close-fitting armor, and spread it out in front of the orc: "Look, this is my wife, pretty!"

"Ugly. ”

"What did you say?"

The orc scratched his head blankly: "It may be offensive to say this, but I do feel quite ugly, mainly because she is too thin and does not look as heavy as a sheep." ”

"Cut, I actually talked to an orc about aesthetics. ”

"You'll come back alive to see your wife. ”

"Accept your good words. ”

"I just don't know how Muvana and Fantine are doing now. ”

"Don't think about it, the Imperial General Pharos promised that they would be properly housed, and if I want me to say, they must be living in warm tents now, drinking steaming beef broth. ”

The orc warrior's face couldn't help but show a happy smile: "That's good." ”
