In any case, it is impossible for the orc warriors chasing Ryan to be more familiar with this city than Red, who has grown up in the imperial capital since he was a child. Under Red's leadership, Ryan and Alando can easily travel through large residential houses that are similar to a maze. You can go back and forth without worrying about getting lost, but the orc warriors cannot do this. Their city is simple and rough. How can it be compared with Fernando City, which has gathered the best of human beings for 200 years
After spending more than an hour, Ryan and the other three finally got rid of the tracking of the orc warriors and could safely rush to their destination. However, those crazy guys were screaming and demolishing the houses in a large number of houses. , This is not because these orc warriors want to vent, but if they don’t demolish those houses, they can’t find a way out themselves. Thousands of people can’t be trapped together like this.
The mission of the three Ryans on this trip is not to assist the human warriors in the defense. They are rushing to the Cathedral of San Nebiro to pick up Master Ibel. Since the latter used the forbidden spell "Great Prophecy" during the ceremony, his body has become worse. Unable to hold on any longer, he remained bedridden. The daily affairs of the Light Church were handed over to his deputy, Bishop Henry.
This time the orcs attacked the city. Under the leadership of Henry, the priests of the Church of Light refused to provide help to the human army. They basically stayed in the Saint Nebiro Cathedral. Not only that, Bishop Henry also prohibited human soldiers from entering. The Cathedral of Saint Nebiro deployed its defenses. He believed that this would damage these 200-year-old buildings. However, as the war situation developed, the orc attack forces had broken through several lines of defense. The humans stationed at the Cathedral of Saint Nebiro The army has become a lone army. If it does not evacuate as soon as possible, it is in danger of being divided and surrounded.
The reason why Ryan assisted the human warriors at the crossroads defense line was because once it was lost, St. Nebiro Cathedral would lose its access to the royal auditorium and would be surrounded by the orc army. Of course, now the orcs They did not seem to realize the significance of San Nebiro Cathedral to mankind, and they did not deploy a large number of troops to attack. This is also the biggest reason why the human soldiers stationed there can still persist in the defense.
"Please be sure to run again. Now the orc offensive is becoming more and more fierce. We can support it until tomorrow morning at most. The priests of the Church of Light must leave." Dodge, the infantry commander stationed in the defense area of San Nebiro Cathedral, said anxiously : "Now the orcs have a tendency to increase their troops. If their offensive strength increases by another 10,000, then we may not be able to hold on even at midnight."
"Mr. Dodge." A man wearing a white priest's robe replied expressionlessly: "Bishop Henry has said repeatedly that since the Church of Light has canceled the honorific title of the Pope, it will never intervene in the secular world again. Go into any business.”
"What time has it been? You are still talking about these things that happened hundreds of years ago." Commander Dodge was really anxious, because according to reliable intelligence, the only way for them to leave here safely has been attacked by orcs. If the stalemate continues like this If we go down, maybe everyone won’t have to leave.
Bishop Henry showed up three days ago, briefly expressed his attitude, and then never showed up again. In the past three days, the situation has become more and more serious day by day. The soldiers were injured, and they hoped that the pastor of the Church of Light would give him treatment. Refuse, now his men don't hate the orcs as much as they do these priests. After all, they are using their lives to protect these priests, but the priests don't appreciate it.
Despite this, Commander Dodge did not dare to force his way into the Cathedral of San Nebiro, because this is the holy land of the entire continent and the spokesperson of the gods of light on this continent. This is where Archbishop Ibel, the only member of the Church of Light, is located. The archbishop's reputation in the imperial capital is higher than that of the deceased Fernando XIII. Who knows if Henry's words were inspired by Master Ibel
"Alas." Dodge stamped his foot fiercely, and then left with his personal guards. He hurried to the forward position, and now he no longer cared about the rules of the front line that senior commanders did not follow. , if you don’t personally stabilize the morale of the soldiers, maybe the next orc charge will collapse them.
"Dear Bishop, Dodge is gone." A man wearing a red bishop's robe said respectfully. In front of him, there was a man about forty years old, wearing a red bishop's robe, with a The man with black tulips was sitting leisurely on the chair that only archbishops were qualified to sit on. This forty-year-old man was Bishop Henry who presided over the wedding of Fernando and Catherine.
"It seems that he still didn't understand what I meant, Ferdinand." After hearing what his subordinate said, Henry's face remained as usual and he said lightly: "Civilians are civilians. What I meant has been made very obvious. They actually Still don’t understand.”
"Yeah, it's easier to deal with nobles. These lowly commoners are really too much." The cardinal named Ferdinand complimented: "But it's not their fault. After all, these lowly people are too much." How can commoners understand your vast wisdom that comes from the gods of light?"
Henry shook his head and said: "I have repeatedly emphasized that the reason why the Light Church does not participate in secular affairs is because there is no pope. If the papal system is restored, it will not be able to participate as before."
Before Henry could finish his words, he heard a noise outside the door, and a man's voice shouted: "You can't enter, Lord Henry is discussing with his subordinates."
Along with this cry, the door was knocked open by a man. The man stumbled back a few steps, and then sat on the ground. Henry looked at the door, only to find that it was Red who had broken in.
"You are so unruly, you actually dare to break in." Seeing Henry's unkind expression, Ferdinand scolded Red loudly and said, "Don't you know?" Before Ferdinand could finish his words, he was rushed up by a few steps. Red kicked him away,
"Guards, guards." Ferdinand, who was lying on the ground with his calves in his arms, shouted loudly. When eight guards wearing armors and holding halberds came in, Ferdinand pointed at Red and said, "Hurry and arrest him. stand up."
The eight guards immediately raised the halberds in their hands. Although the halberds were just a ceremonial guard and could not be used for combat, Red did not care about these guards. He just stood in front of Henry with his eyes fixed. Staring at the latter, the eight guards only moved a little before they felt severe pain from various parts of their bodies. They could no longer hold the halberds in their hands, and there was a "ping ping ping ping ping" sound in the room. As the sound continued, all eight halberds fell to the ground.
Allendo and Ryan were standing next to Reid, one on the left and the other on the right. Allendo had just moved around casually. The cardinal named Ferdinand wanted to call people in again, but after seeing Ryan and After Allendo's appearance, he immediately shut his mouth tightly. Ferdinand was also lucky enough to watch last year's Royal Athletic Competition, so he naturally recognized Ryan and Allendo, and also knew their strength and background. He knew whether He was provoking casually, so he gently waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat.
The room suddenly became quiet. After a long time, Reid suddenly spoke: "Where is my teacher."
"Where he should be." Henry said calmly,
"You are his assistant, why?"
"Of course, it was."
"what on earth do you want."
"Ibel is old, Red." Henry said calmly: "With his power, especially the great prophecy that can destroy the world, he is willing to be inferior to others. Damn it, with his reputation and power, completely The glory of our light church can be restored.”
"This is just your ambition"
"Wrong." Henry suddenly stood up. He interrupted Red's words, and then he shouted hurriedly: "This is God's will. I have been blessed by God. I must take on this sacred mission. I want to Let the divine light shine on the entire continent. When we, the Church of Light, completely own this continent, we will integrate the power of all mankind and launch a holy war against evil. We will pass through the Netherland and kill those damn dark elves, beholder demons, Illithids, and disgusting bones, we will eventually open the passage to the demonic realm and completely destroy the source of all evil."
Reid looked at Henry's almost fanatical expression, and his heart kept sinking. He knew that Henry must have received hints or explicit instructions from some god, otherwise he would not have such a terrible idea, but once Henry said this If things continue, it will inevitably drag all mankind into a bottomless abyss.
"I won't let you succeed."
"Reid, you are so arrogant. If you were not a student of Ibel, how could you have such privileges? A lustful, drunken, lazy priest. It is so ridiculous. How could our supreme God give you power? All this was given to you only because of your teacher, and now, he is lying on his bed unable to move at all. I want to know why you have it."
Before Henry finished speaking, a purple magic missile flew past his ear, and then Henry heard a clear voice: "He has friends, for example, me." Henry's face changed, and he knew If that magic missile had been aimed at his face, he might have been seriously injured by now.
Ferdinand was lying on the ground and saw Ryan using magic missiles to shock Henry. He shouted viciously: "Do you know what you are doing? You are threatening the agents of the gods of light on this continent. The supreme god of light is here." The most pious letter on this continent”
Ferdinand wanted to continue talking, but he heard someone whispering to him in his ear: "I only know that if you don't shut up, you will have no chance to believe in the God of Light." Ferdinand was shocked, but at this time, no matter what He had to show it in a big way no matter what, just to prove his loyalty to Henry, so Ferdinand continued to shout: "For justice"
The words were only shouted here, and then a pair of big hands pressed Ferdinand's neck tightly, and he could no longer breathe. His face slowly turned red, and his mind gradually lost consciousness. Then everything went dark and I could no longer see clearly.
