The sudden outbreak of the epidemic outside the city further highlighted the urgency of the situation.
Originally, the Haysas executives only speculated that there would be a witch's companion to rescue her, but now it has become a bloody reality.
In just one night, more than a dozen towns were infected with the plague.
The ferocity of these evil diseases and the intensity of the infection simply made the high-level officials of the empire change their colors.
Ordinary medical officers are helpless against the ferocious epidemic, and even they themselves cannot guarantee that they will not be infected with these vicious diseases. The only way to effectively get rid of the plague spores is the holy light treatment of the paladins.
However, for divine spells at the level of Holy Light Healing, even those Tier 1 black iron knights could only cast them five times a day with all their strength. However, there are a large number of trainee knights, and all their holy power will be exhausted after being cast once.
Faced with such a situation, the senior management of Haysas can only send out the outer paladins to selectively rescue the villagers with the most obvious symptoms and the most violent attacks in the villages and towns where the epidemic is fierce. But how could the scattered sources of water save a prairie fire
In just one day, the number of people infected with the plague rose rapidly from a thousand to ten thousand, and there were signs of it spreading to Haisas City.
This blow completely frightened the upper echelons of Haysas City!
You must know that in the city of Haisas at this moment, in addition to the deep-rooted and powerful paladin group, there are also a large number of real power aristocrats with intertwined relationships. Although these aristocratic classes usually rely heavily on and rely on the power of the paladins to maintain their rule, when they themselves are also facing the threat of the plague, they can't help but produce some voices that are inconsistent with the paladins.
Many aristocrats living in the city of Hessas have requested to block the city gates and refuse those infected with diseases to enter the city. The middle and low-level paladins hope that Haisas City can accept more refugees and protect them under the glory of the great holy light.
For the first time, the nobles and paladins, who usually cooperate closely, had a serious conflict of ideas, and even a small 'misunderstanding' broke out near the gate of Haisas City!
For a while, the city of Haysas was in chaos, and even the Holy Light Chapel was besieged by low-ranking nobles.
After some behind-the-scenes transactions and negotiations, the Haysas nobles reluctantly agreed to open the Eastern District to refugees pouring in from all directions. The Holy Light Chapel also dispatched a certain number of paladins to the noble area to ensure that the plague would not spread to the area.
As a result, Greem was fortunate enough to become the personal bodyguard that some big nobles scrambled to win over!
In addition to these disturbances, the Holy Light Chapel also stepped up time to torture the captured witch.
From her mouth, the Holy Light Chapel quickly obtained detailed information and information of the other two wizards, and sent a large group of black iron knights to search and arrest possible wizard remnants in nearby villages and towns.
Of course, in view of the terrible criminal record of that third-level fire witch, the Holy Light Chapel also dispatched two third-level golden knights to lead a large number of second-level silver knights to sit in various places. In this way, once traces of wizards are found in a certain place, they can also be strangled nearby.
And in this way, the powerful power gathered by the Holy Light Chapel was divided invisibly!
However, the conspiracy arranged by Greem obviously "a fire at the city gate will harm the fish in the pond", and it actually forced out another fraudulent witch who was deeply hidden.
It can be seen that the third-level deceitful witch named Itariel has also lurked in the outskirts of Haisas City, and seems to have the same will as Greem. Unfortunately, due to mutual distrust, she obviously couldn't contact Greem in time.
Therefore, during Greem's plague offensive, a large number of black iron knights dispatched in cooperation with the local village guards unexpectedly found Itauriel.
The two sides fought in a place called Redwood Village, and the 3rd-level Itariel showed his might even more, frantically killing nearly a hundred villagers of the Paladin team and Redwood Village.
This time, it stabbed a hornet's nest!
The paladins, who were already suffocating an unknown fire, gathered around the Redwood Village, and even the two golden knights who were out to sit in the town quickly rushed there.
It has to be said that there is no weak person who can become a level 3 witch, not to mention that Itariel is also a well-known tower master among the deceitful witches. Lena pulled her here this time because she wanted to take advantage of her powerful force, but unfortunately, they were directly scattered during the crossing process. Otherwise, with the protection of Itariel, it is impossible for Reina to end up in such a miserable end.
How could such a powerful witch be forced back by a group of natives!
So, around the city of Haisas, the Itariel witch played guerrilla warfare with a group of paladins who swarmed in. Relying on the deceitful witch's extraordinary ability to transform and lie, Itariel is like a haunting ghost, appearing in a completely different form every time.
And she also deliberately avoided the two golden knights, targeting the silver and black iron knights. Therefore, in the three-day "cat and mouse game", she killed dozens of paladins above level 1 with only one person.
Under the heavy pressure of reality, the Chapel of Holy Light in Haisas City had to send another Golden Knight to participate in the siege of witches.
With three against one, the paladins finally seized an excellent opportunity to besiege Itariel in a place called Haifeng Town. There are thousands of people there, and Itariel hides in it by virtue of the transformation technique, which also makes it more difficult for the paladins to encircle and suppress them.
And Greem, who was lurking in the city of Haisas, waited for an excellent opportunity to make a move after waiting for five days.
There are only two golden knights left guarding the Holy Light Chapel.
The witch Lena was imprisoned in a secret confession room in the chapel, guarded by a third-level golden knight named Kennett. As for the materials of the witch formation, according to Greem's investigation and analysis during this period, it is likely that they are kept in the hands of another Paladin commander named Lambert.
And he is also a Tier 3 Golden Knight!
Two golden knights, one guarding the witch and the other keeping the materials, this division of labor is in line with the effect of risk sharing. Therefore, Greem started the long-planned raid plan without hesitation!
...
That night.
Inside the city of Haysas.
In a luxurious room located in the aristocratic area in the west of the city, Greem casually pushed open the wooden window.
The night was low in the sky, the stars were dim, and there was a trace of blood in the moonlight projected down.
Boom boom boom.
There was a light knock on the door.
"Lord Jedric, it's time for dinner!" The maid's voice came from outside the door.
"Tell your master, I will pray for the Holy Light all night tonight, I won't have dinner, and no one will be allowed to come in to disturb you!" Greem sternly retorted.
"yes!"
With the sound of light footsteps, silence was restored outside the door.
Greem raised his head, looked at the bloody night sky, stretched out a finger, and slowly began to condense the fire element in the air.
The bright red fire element was stripped from the colorless and transparent void, gathered at Greem's fingertips, and made the front end hotter and brighter, with a tendency to ignite .
And at this moment, an invisible but tangible strange force emerged in the void above Greem's head, and began to slowly reach out to where he was.
Holy enchantment!
The fire elements at Greem's fingertips have already gathered to a limit threshold, as long as there is a little more, they will instantly detonate into a cluster of real elemental flames. And at that time, the holy barrier covering the entire city of Haysas will also be triggered, which will attract the attention of the holy knights of the Holy Light Chapel.
It has to be said that although the paladins of the Envik plane follow the line of faith, the magic power they master is only a single holy light. But thousands of years of continuous immersion in it also allowed them to explore some completely different ways of using the holy light.
For example, the sacred barrier covering the entire city of Haisas is one of them!
Using the sensitivity and exclusivity of the Holy Light, Haysas propped up a huge sacred barrier. Inside this enchantment, any active or passive condensation of magic elements will trigger and trigger enchantment countermeasures. Fortunately, Greem only condensed the fire element on a small scale, preventing it from transforming into a real flame witchcraft.
Otherwise, even some apprentice-level witchcraft will trigger the countermeasure of the holy enchantment.
In addition to being able to monitor and perceive changes in magical energy, this sacred barrier can also create a single elemental environment inside. This is actually a trap left by the paladins for the wizards.
Once any wizard thinks he is powerful and breaks into the city of Haysas, the paladins who preside over the holy magic circle in the Holy Light Chapel can change the enchantment from invisible to explicit. At that time, other magical elements other than Holy Light will be banned within the entire city of Haysas.
And this, for the alien wizards who are trapped in the siege, is probably extremely terrifying!
Therefore, Greem has been constantly testing the reaction and operation mechanism of this sacred barrier, apart from listening to news. After the chip's perception and detection of its power fluctuations, the location of the sacred magic circle has been basically determined.
If Greem wanted to forcibly break into the Holy Light Chapel, he had to give priority to breaking this sacred barrier.
Otherwise, he would not do such a stupid thing as fighting two third-tier golden knights under the suppression of the sacred barrier.
Greem clarified his thoughts in the bloody moonlight, re-examined the entire battle plan in his mind, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, he issued an attack order to a place far away.
Although the sacred barrier is very sensitive to magic elements, it obviously cannot block the secret connection between souls.
Therefore, under Greem's command, Remy, the plague poisonous spirit who had long been lurking outside the city of Hessas, finally took action!
