"Coccon is an interesting place to visit, and Melissa has a good eye.

The power of divine punishment, hehe, this is a clever little fellow, this is a temptation, forcing us to play our cards, it seems that Tom's old fellow should have given him something.

How about it, the Sanctuary seems to have noticed him too, so you're not in a hurry?"

Arnold read the military newspaper twice, muttered for a while, and then faced his partner: "It's indeed a good seedling, but it's a pity that I'm still a little too young, and I have experienced fewer setbacks."

Just take this as a test for him, and don't forget the lesson of Farlingham in the first place. ”

I don't know what kind of allusion this Fallingham is, but at the mention of him, James's face also became a little ugly.

Arnold continued: "But if you can wait until now, you can already think of it as a city. There are some things that should really be known to him, not to mention that he is already involved in this, as well as the Wild Lion family behind him.

Although Arthas is loyal, his personality is still a little too extreme, and I am afraid that he will not be able to grasp the scale inside, just like he did in Detalena half a year ago. ”

James shook his head: "With Andy here, it shouldn't be a big problem, although he is young, he is a close disciple of your teacher, and that Wenger will not be his opponent."

These guys picked a good time, the gates of hell had been opened, and all the Knights of the First Rank Templar were locked inside, just when we were at our weakest.

Oh, this is the disadvantage of your own infighting, you will always find the most painful point of your knife, even if it is good, it will leave an ugly scar.

But if we don't deal with it well, we won't be able to recover for at least 10 years. ”

Arnold was not as pessimistic as his old partner, he patted the armrest of the throne arrogantly: "Remove the pseudo and save the essence, can't you still see it after so many years?"

Without sacrifice, where can there be victory.

You've given them too many chances, pretending to be stupid and stunned, like hob meat.

In the end, there is still a fight, and the sword is used to speak.

The holy war is coming, and before that, I would rather this labor pain come a little sooner. ”

James sighed, but still nodded: "Don't worry, this time I will fully cooperate with you, personnel, materials."

The Western Temple and the two empires, I'll reach out to a few old friends over there to make you feel less stressed.

When necessary, I will personally go to the sanctuary and explain everything here. ”

Although the two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years in order to compete for the dominance of this holy city, they still stand together at the critical juncture of the holy war.

Half an hour later, Philip, who was in the annex, finally waited for Alsace's secret messenger.

"It's finally here. Philip also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was not easy to be in a puzzle.

Although he was calm and calm in front of his subordinates, he was a little anxious in his heart, and he had been waiting for that opportunity to break the game.

Now Arthas's summons gave him a glimmer of light.

After the meeting, Arthas didn't say half a word about the conflict, but went straight to the point.

"Cadet Philip, in the next few years, you will be drafted as a Reserve Templar Knight, with all the privileges of an official Knight, including the corresponding intelligence and law enforcement powers.

You have the right to refuse, but if you do, you will be subject to the strictest controls until the end of this operation.

If you accept, then from now on I will be your direct commander, and you will pledge to obey my orders completely.

Now, tell me your options. ”

Philip didn't hesitate at all, his legs were together, he stood straight, his riding boots leaning together and making a bang: "I accept, resolutely obey the order." ”

Arthas looked at Philip coldly, nodded with satisfaction for a long time, took out a few pages of parchment from the folder on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Read it as quickly as possible, these pieces of paper must not be taken out of this room, and before the action is half an hour, except for those followers of yours, the objectives and details of the mission must not be revealed to anyone, including Princess Sophia and those of your classmates." ”

"Yes!" Philip took the parchment and looked at it quickly, his brows furrowed together, and it was clear that the information and tasks described on it had exceeded his expectations.

Taken together with the information he had before, there was an answer to many things.

It's not too clear, but it's at least a lot better than groping alone in the dark.

He quickly returned the parchment, his expression serious, and he stared ahead, waiting for the other party's next order.

Arthas walked around the table, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, the hard work of the day left him without even time to freshen up, and his already greasy semi-long hair was even more tangled.

"Needless to say, you should also understand, this is not only a task, but also a test for you, all the information will be recorded in your file, which will become the basis for your future assessment and even promotion.

Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"I am one of the commanders of this purge mission, and from now on you will obey my command.

At six o'clock tonight, someone will send your weapons and mounts to the annex, and at the same time bring you the mission order, and at ten o'clock in the morning, secretly set off from the West City Gate. ”

"Yes, understood!"

"For the sake of secrecy, your mission has no backup, and it can only succeed and not fail, what do you have to ask?"

"No, sir, resolutely complete the task!"

"Very well! Philip prepares the knight, don't let me down, and don't let down Lord Arnold's trust. ”

"Yes, understood!"

"Alright, now you go out the back door. ”

Before Philip could reach the door, he heard Arthas's gloomy and hoarse voice come again: "The power of divine punishment is used to hurt others and hurt yourself before the catalyst matures, you must be cautious."

When you return to the academy, it is only natural that someone will teach you about it.

Mercy and justice, Philip, you have to keep in mind whenever it comes. ”

Philip didn't look back, but turned his back on the teacher and promised the teacher in a tone he had never seen before, "I will, teacher." ”

Then he put on his hood, hid his face, and went out, just as he had come.

Arthas was left in the empty room, looking at the bright sunlight outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while a faint sigh was heard.

Until he secretly returned to the annex, Philip's mind was still recalling the information he had just seen.

The temple-led purge has been planned for more than a year, affecting the entire diocese of the Southern Temple, and at least more than 30 percent of the clergy are affected.

Judging from the time, if it weren't for the war that shocked the entire continent half a year ago, I'm afraid the start of the war would have been much earlier.

Forcing the four paladins to lead the first-level Templar Knights directly under them, and hurriedly plunged into the battlefield without heavy weapons and logistical support, resulting in heavy losses, there are conspiracy and tricks behind this that others cannot guess.

Arthas and Andy were just two of the more than twenty paladins sent by the temple higher-ups, and Lily Villa was just one of the partial battlefields.

Although he didn't have a complete list due to the limitations of his authority, the familiar names on it still made his heart heavier and heavier.

And what worries him the most and shocks him the most is that Sophia is also one of the targets of those rebellious families.

Although he promised happily at the time, he was hesitant to comply with the order and inform Sophia in time.

On the one hand, he has a bright future, and on the other hand, he is the girl he loves, which is an unsolvable problem, and it depends on his own choice after all.

At midnight that day, Philip and his guards set out on a journey under the cover of night, and their goal was to travel to a small town 200 kilometers away, secretly arrest the key suspects of the rebellion, and seize the physical evidence stored in the castle.

It wasn't until dawn that the dusty group saw the town from afar, and the gray-black castle in the middle of the town.

It is said to be a castle, but it is not comparable to such a majestic castle as the Lion Castle, which is only three stories high and covers an area of only two or three acres, so it is more appropriate to say that it is a fortress or a fortress.

Small war bastions like this are not only in the diocese, but also in the Wardsmann Empire, all of which have a long history, witnessing the tragic and great wars of thousands of years ago.

But in any case, it is a castle after all, and with the combat strength of Philip and his men, if they want to take it at the lowest cost, then in the next time, they must abandon their mounts and sneak in.

Once the whereabouts of the other party are discovered, even if the final victory is achieved, I am afraid that it will pay a heavy price.

The darkness before dawn is worthy of its name, and tomorrow there is already a faint glimmer of light, but the whole town is still immersed in a drowsy and silent.

Even the most industrious housewife doesn't get up to cook at this time.

Fortunately, the long peace made the sentries above habitually lazy, until they approached the city walls and were not detected.

In the shadow of the wall, Philip gestured to several of his subordinates, and then Ale, like a real monkey, climbed up the potholed wall without much effort.

Soon, there was a muffled grunt from above, and then a long rope hung down.

More than twenty people climbed up in turn, and this time, Philip did not limit the number of places in the patrol, except for Paul and a few others who were sent out by him to carry out other tasks, almost all the followers were taken with him.

Climbing up the low city wall, a middle-aged man dressed in a guard's uniform fell to the ground, face down, no wounds, but the shape of his neck was strange.

Gave Alie a thumbs up, it seems that more than half a year of training is still very useful, the strong smell of blood will attract the vigilance of the enemy, how to quickly and silently deal with the sentinel, is a necessary skill for every temple warrior.

Soon, with a few rapidly awakened warriors as arrows, a dozen tired sentinels on the city wall were quietly eliminated.

But as they sneaked down the street in the direction of the castle, there was a sudden burst of shrill chirping.
