"Damn it! These ghostly guys!"

A low-praying curse came from the sparse forest, and a strong figure ran wildly under the cover of night. He seemed very embarrassed, but every step was cautious, as if he was afraid of the graceful figure carrying the back...

...

The moon is in the sky.

In a dense forest dozens of miles away in the royal city...

I slowly opened my eyes, and what caught my eye was the jumping bonfire and the handsome face of Yale...

Ding Lei rubbed his eyes hard and slowly sat up with his tired body.

"You're awake!

Have something to eat, I have been sleeping for a day and a night!”

After fiddling with the bonfire for a few times, Yale handed over a roasted golden rabbit leg.

"One day and one night? It seems to be a side effect of higher-level magic!"

The slender palms passed through the long hair and rubbed their temples hard. After Ding Lei looked at the surrounding environment, he looked at Yale in confusion.

"We failed! It's already a miracle to be able to escape!"

Yale smiled bitterly and withdrew his hand, but his face still had that smile, "Although your miraculous magic flattened the Tower of Light, both Aure and Chris survived...

It is the amulet of the Great Light, and the magic barrier that is unfolding with all its strength bears most of the damage..."

Yale's tone was gentle, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Damn it!"

Ding Lei clenched his fists and hammered the ground hard, his face looking very bad.

"But their losses are not small. The magicians of the White Night Empire and the treacherous court guards were all destroyed. Although the demon puppet is still there, Aure and the others cannot drive it for the time being..." Yale smiled and tried to comfort her.

"Northern City is now?" Ding Lei asked tentatively.

"The battle is over, Aure succeeds!"

Yale fiddled with a tree stick and replied without raising his head: "Aure is in charge of the military power of several provinces near the royal city, and with his own territory, the guards of the royal city cannot resist...

Now Aure has controlled the royal city, but without the recognition of the royal family, other princely provinces will not bow to him easily, so he is busy."

Yale teased gloatingly, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes.

“As for His Highness Jaina…

The Archbishop came forward to leave her body. She was the princess of a country and the church would properly bury her..."

When talking about Jaina again, Ding Lei felt a stinging pain in his heart...

It only took a few days to travel to another world, but the gentle and kind girl was almost regarded as a goddess by him. In addition, Tina's memory was gradually merged with him, and he still couldn't accept the loss of Jaina.

"Church of Light! Your Church of Light is not..."

Thinking of the church's indifferent attitude, Ding Lei asked coldly.

"Everything is impermanent, and the rules will always change, Miss Tina."

Yale sighed, his eyes full of loneliness.

"The Holy See has always been a supreme existence, and even the emperor of the White Night Empire was crowned by the Pope.

The people under the protection of the Goddess of Light cannot kill each other. This is also the reason why many countries around Augilla can maintain balance. But now the empire has taken the initiative to invade the Kingdom of Augilla, what does that mean?"

Yale explained slowly, but his tone became more and more low, "It means the imperial power...

It has been stronger than the divine power, and the empire has the power to suppress the Holy See, and even the pope has to bow his head..."

"You mean, the Church of Light has acquiesced to the empire's aggression?" Ding Lei asked incredible, because in Tina's memory, the church has always been a sacred and inviolable existence.

"That's right!"

Yale nodded vigorously, "So from now on, the goddess of light can no longer continue to protect her people..."

In a word, Ding Lei's expression darkened and he fell into silence again. The many disputes and competitions in the other world made him really a headache...

The supreme church of light, the powerful White Night Empire that is strong enough to overwhelm the divine power, the stormy Aogilia, and Jaina's instructions...

"Do you... have any plans?"

After thinking for a long time, Yale still asked what he wanted to know the most.

"Intend?"

Ding Lei tilted his head and slowly tidied his thoughts.

His loneliness and helplessness made Yale secretly feel distressed, but the perseverance in his eyes was unpredictable...

"Plan, not yet...

But one thing will not change!”

Ding Lei slowly stood up, turned his head and looked firmly in the direction of the Augilla Royal City, with his slender index finger pointing straight to the distance.

"Retake the royal city!

Take it back from the White Night Empire!

No matter how hard it takes!

No matter how slim the hope is!

I can't give up!

Because Jaina... please give me!"

"His Highness Jaina!" Yale nodded slightly, as if he understood his words.

"That's right!" A glimmer of light suddenly burst out in Ding Lei's eyes, and his expression became solemn and sacred.

“Because from today, I’m Jaina!

Princess Jaina Ogilia!

Jaina Ogilia, who carries the future and hope of Aogilia!”

The crisp sound seemed to contain infinite power and magic. The flame in Ding Lei's heart completely burned his name. From this moment on, he decided to live on behalf of Jaina and replace the girl who was like his first love!

The breeze in the forest blew her skirt, and the soft moonlight spread on her body, like the newborn Jaina standing proudly. This scene made Yale's whole body tremble, and the peerless figure that caught his eyes seemed to fill the faith he had just lost...

"What are your plans, Yale Priest?"

After standing quietly for a while, Jaina turned her head and asked Yale, who was already stunned, "No matter what, you helped me against the will of the Holy See. The Church of Light will definitely not be able to go back, and Aure will not let you go easily...

Speaking of which, I was all implicated!"

Jaina's words were full of apology, but Yale did not feel any regret for her actions at this moment.

"It doesn't matter anymore, dy...

No, His Highness Jaina!"

Yale owed her body and solemnly gave a standard court ceremony.

"I am already a person abandoned by the Goddess of Light. If I were placed in the past, it would drive me crazy, a light magician who has lost his faith...

There is nothing worse than this…”

"I'm sorry! You are protecting me, I've caused all this..." Jaina smiled bitterly, but Yale shook her head.

"No, Your Highness Jaina! It's different now! Because I have a new belief..."

Yale suddenly became serious, he took a step back, knelt on one knee, and said piously and seriously.

"Let me swear allegiance to you, Your Highness!

If restoring the country is your wish, then following your back is my lifelong wish!"

"Follow me?" Jaina was stunned and suddenly became dumbfounded. "I want to go, but there is no way back, and I don't know where the way is now!"

She wanted to shirk it off, but Yale didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for something...

The soft moonlight spread on the two of them, and the knight swore allegiance to the beautiful princess. This strange scene made her feel a little overwhelmed...

"I'm so moved...

No, no, this is a bit bad..."

Just as she was hesitating what to do, a rustling sound in the woods broke the subtle atmosphere again...

"I found it here..."

"The order is to capture alive..."

"They only have two people..."

More than a dozen jumping torches passed through the woods, and more than a dozen soldiers with light armored long swords ran towards this side excitedly. After seeing the standard of their armor, Jaina smiled coldly.

"It's an infantryman from Aure. It seems that he is still planning to use me as a bargaining chip!"

The real Jaina was already dead, but before she died, she claimed that she was fake. This not only left the last spark for Augilla, but also gave Aure a glimmer of hope.
To be continued...
