In the temple, Saint Kelly stood under the statue of the god, lowering her head and stroking the legendary artifact, the mask of Pharos. Her slender white fingers gently brushed the red sun pattern on the white mask with gentle movements. It's like brushing against a lover's face.
Even late at night, the lights in the great temple are brightly lit, illuminating the entire hall. The sacrifices to the gods will never be interrupted, and the saint and the attendants in her name are the ones who serve the gods and manage the temple.
There were rapid footsteps behind her. Kelly did not look back, but carefully put the mask on her face: "Our legion was defeated, right?"
Pope Hodep's hurried footsteps immediately stopped, as if the moment he walked into the temple and saw the saint, he instantly felt at ease.
"Yes, we were defeated. The wizard and the Night Owl Knights defeated our army. The 50,000-strong army was wiped out in Attica. Even Martin, a saint, died there."
Kelly turned around, as if the moment she put on the mask, her whole person was tainted with the breath of gods, becoming aloof and indifferent: "The existence of evil, the ghosts of people's hearts, the power of darkness, all these are under the power of gods. Below, in the light of the light, it is not worth mentioning.”
Kelly raised her head, looked out of the hall through the mask, and walked towards the outside. Although Pope Hodep was behind him, the two of them stood on the high steps outside the Temple of Light, overlooking The entire city of Saint-Sal.
"The darkness will eventually be driven away by the light, and the evil will be annihilated under the power of the gods. Their souls will be burned forever under the illumination of the holy light. Only by turning one's heart towards the light and the gods can they ascend to the realm of gods. of paradise and kingdom.”
"Everyone will pay a price for everything they have done!"
Kelly stood in front of Hodepp. Her white robe seemed to blend into the cold moonlight, but it instantly made Hodepp feel at ease. Yes, evil will eventually be wiped out under the illumination of the holy light.
Although the church is fully prepared to fight, the previous consecutive defeats and the rumors about the wizards and the Night Owl Knights have made the entire Church of Light feel panicked.
"Wizards, they are the representatives of the devil. They borrowed the power from the devil and climbed out of the dirty abyss of hell. They looked at this paradise illuminated by the light of the gods with extremely evil eyes."
"We cannot let them succeed. They want to drag the entire world into darkness and all of us into hell."
"I believe that we will never be defeated. We will completely defeat them. Her Majesty the Holy Lady and His Majesty the Pope will judge them, and they will be reduced to ashes in the holy light of God."
The situation inside Saint Sal City is not bad. Most believers are extremely devout. Even if Saint Sal City is destroyed, they will swear to coexist and die with the Church of Light. However, outside Saint Sal City and the nearby original With many small countries close to the Church of Light, the situation becomes extremely complicated.
Especially the refugees who fled to various places from the Moorish Province. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were spreading in all directions with fear and panic. Everyone lost their smiles on their faces, leaving only trembling and pale faces. The Night Owl Knights swept through the scene, telling everyone how terrifying the wizards were, and the legions that seemed to crawl out of hell.
Someone screamed on the street: "Darkness has fallen, hell will come to the world!"
"They are demons and no one can stand against them, no one."
"They killed everyone, leaving no one behind, no one left alive."
"Plague, death, war, famine, darkness will once again cover the earth."
In a large number of countries and cities around the Moore Province, refugees on the streets are trembling with fear of the disaster caused by the emergence of wizards, and those who were lucky enough to survive from the Night Owl Knights have become crazy and can only scream. A series of frightening terms referring to death and devil.
Those panicked women, the unfocused eyes of children, the madmen who have lost their sanity, and the waves of refugee groups who are fleeing with no end in sight, as well as the smoke and countless smoke along the way. All the corpses are accusing the wizard of the terror of the Night Owl Knights.
The names of Levi and the wizard spread throughout the human kingdom. Everyone heard the name of the wizard for the first time, as if it was born with a color that makes people scared and panic. It was a dark term that could not be mentioned at all.
Everyone fears and fears wizards, and at the same time, more people, while fearing the terrifying power of wizards, also yearn for the power of wizards. No one, including the noble council, thought that the power of wizards was so powerful. It was so powerful that no one expected that one Levi and eight wizards would defeat the powerful Church of Light and push them all the way to Saint Sal City. There was a tendency to destroy the Church of Light.
Crete Empire, Imperial City, Count Evans opened a secret passage from the bottom of his mansion, held a torch through the long tunnel, and came to a secret place under the Imperial City. .
Earl Evans, who was loyal to Iliad VII, is still the most trusted person by His Majesty the Emperor in the Iliad VIII dynasty. At the same time, he also maintains close contact with the Church of Light, as if he is always on the side of the Iliad VIII. The person at the top of the power was also the first person to surrender to the Church of Light, leading a large number of surrenderers to join the Church of Light, and supporting Iliad VIII to come to power.
Although many people despise his moral character, more people also envy him. He is good at dancing and can understand the situation. No matter how the political situation changes, he seems to be an evergreen tree that will never fall.
Count Evans wore a mask and came to a large underground conference room. He saw the torches lighting up the secret conference room. At this moment, in addition to Evans, six people had arrived. Everyone They all wore masks like Count Evans and attended this secret party.
One person sat at the top of the long table, while the other five people were arguing fiercely, as if something had happened that made them panic.
"How dare they? Didn't they just agree to occupy the Moore Province and force the Church of Light to shrink? They actually attacked the city of Saint Sal."
"The Light Church legions of the major kingdoms and principalities can no longer suppress them. The Third Legion of the Kingdom of Mara and Cardinal Peter have turned their legions and retreated at all costs. It is impossible for the Kingdom of Mara to stop them. "
"The same goes for the Fifth Legion of the Kingdom of Luman and Cardinal Emery. Regardless of the troops mobilized by the Kingdom of Luman to defend them, they will fight at all costs to return to the Church of Light. They want to destroy the Church of Light, but we haven't done anything yet. Even if we are fully prepared for the opening of the station, it is impossible for the major kingdoms to actually start a war with these legions, and it is not possible for us to fully command them."
"I just said that these wizards who came out of nowhere are not trustworthy. According to the original plan, as long as they hold back the Church of Light, they will cut off the tentacles of the Church of Light to explore the major kingdoms and principalities. The next step for us in Kerry The Empire will overthrow Iliad VIII and become independent from the Church of Light. We just need to eat away at the Church of Light step by step. These guys actually launched an attack on Saint Sal City without permission."
Everyone was angrily criticizing the Wizards Alliance for their unauthorized actions, but their words could not avoid their fear and panic of the wizards' power. Everyone did not expect that Levi's could create such a powerful legion in just a few years. Even the Principality of Keville has been completely controlled by the Wizards Alliance.
Evans sat at the first seat on the upper left side of the long table and looked at the chief man in black robes: "Is it possible for us to stop the actions of the Wizards Alliance and Levi's?"
The man shook his head: "It's impossible. They have made a desperate move. Levi's and the Wizards Alliance's ambitions are too great. They have betrayed us."
Evans' eyes shrank. Compared with those years ago, he has become a middle-aged man, and his eyes have become more resolute and cruel, like a goshawk: "Then we must prepare immediately, we don't want to be exposed to the bright light." After the church, there is another wizard alliance."
The man nodded: "You go down and be prepared. Once the Church of Light cannot resist, all of us will send troops to immediately assist the city of Saint Sal. Wizards are more terrifying than the Church of Light. They are not only as high as the Church of Light." , and they don’t follow the rules of the game.”
The man in the other seat immediately spoke: "Don't we send troops immediately? All the 50,000 main troops of the Church of Light were killed in the battle. Now there are only 10,000 Knights of Light left in Saint Sal City. How can they resist the wizard's Night Owl? Knights."
Evans sneered: "Wait a minute, the Church of Light cannot be defeated so easily. You have to know who is standing behind them. No one knows what cards they have in private."
Everyone suddenly took a breath of cold air. At this moment, everyone only thought of the saint and the pope who had never made a move for many years, but they did not expect that the Bright Church is the spokesperson of God. Who knows what will happen in the end.
Evans didn't know why, but he felt deep anticipation: "Who is more powerful among the gods and the devil? Interesting! It's really exciting!"
