In any case, the orc warriors chasing Ryan could not be more familiar with this city than Red, who had grown up in the imperial capital since he was a child. Under Red's leadership, Ryan and Alando could easily travel through large residential houses that resembled a maze.
You can travel back and forth without worrying about getting lost, but the orc warriors cannot do this. Their city is simple and rough. How can it compare with the city of Fernando, 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. They can’t have thousands of people trapped together like this?
The mission of the three Ryans on this trip is not to assist the human warriors in defense. They have to rush to the Cathedral of San Nebiro to pick up Master Ibel. Since the latter used the forbidden spell "Great Prophecy" in the ceremony, his body has changed again.
He couldn't hold it any longer and remained bedridden. The daily affairs of the Bright Church were handed over to his deputy, Bishop Henry.
This time when the orcs attacked the city, the priests of the Church of Light, under the leadership of Henry, 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.
Nebiro Cathedral was fortified, he thought this
These 200-year-old buildings will be damaged. However, as the war situation develops, the orc attack forces have broken through several lines of defense, and the human army stationed at the Cathedral of San Nebiro has become a lone army. If they do not evacuate as soon as possible,
, there is a 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, the Cathedral of Saint Nebiro 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 the biggest reason why the human soldiers stationed there can still defend.
"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 until 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.”
"How long has it been? Are you 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 serious day by day. The soldiers were injured, and the priests who hoped that the Church of Light would give him treatment were also attacked.
Refuse, now his men don't have as much hatred towards the orcs as they do towards these priests. After all, they are now using their lives to protect these priests, but the priests don't appreciate it.
Despite this, Commander Dodge did not dare to break into the Saint Nebiro Cathedral, because this is the holy land of the entire continent, and it is also where Archbishop Ibel, the spokesperson of the Gods of Light on this continent, is located. The only archbishop of the Church of Light is here
The reputation of the imperial capital is higher than that of the deceased Fernando XIII. Who knows whether Henry's words were inspired by Master Ibel?
"Alas!" Dodge stamped his feet fiercely, and then left with his personal guards. He hurried to the forward position. Now he no longer cared about the rules of senior commanders and the front line. If
If you don't personally stabilize the morale of the soldiers, they may collapse under the next orc charge.
"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 and a black jacket draped over his shoulders.
The man with the tulip was sitting leisurely on the chair that only the archbishop was qualified to sit on. This forty-year-old man was Bishop Henry who officiated 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 kept his face as usual and said lightly: "Civilians are civilians. I have made it very obvious, but they are still
don't know."
"Yeah, it's easier to deal with nobles. These lowly civilians 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 common people 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 Church of Light 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 finished speaking, he heard a noise outside the door, and a man's voice shouted: "You can't enter, Sir 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 down on the ground. Henry looked at the door, only to find that it was Red who had broken in.
.
"You are so unruly that you dare to break in?" Seeing Henry's unkind expression, Ferdinand reprimanded Red loudly and said, "Don't you know? Ouch!" Before Ferdinand could finish his words, he was rushed towards him in a few steps.
Reid kicked him away.
"Guards, guards!" Ferdinand, who was lying on the ground with his calves in his arms, shouted loudly. When a guard wearing armor and holding a halberd came in, Ferdinand pointed at Red and said, "Capture him quickly.
!”
The guard immediately raised the halberd in his hand, although the halberd was just a ceremonial guard and could not be used in combat. Red did not care about these guards. He just stood in front of Henry, staring intently.
Looking at the latter. The guard only moved a little, and he felt severe pain from various parts of his body. They could no longer hold the halberd in their hands, and the sound of "ping ping ping ping ping" could be heard in the room.
He dropped his halberd 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 casually. The cardinal named Ferdinand wanted to call people in again, but when he saw Ryan and
After Allendo's appearance, he immediately shut his mouth firmly. Ferdinand was also lucky enough to watch last year's Royal Athletic Competition, so he naturally recognized Ryan and Allendo, and knew their strength and background, so he knew not to take it lightly.
To provoke him, 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 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, it is 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, and I must take on this sacred mission. I want to
Let the divine light shine on the entire continent. When our Church of Light completely owns this continent,
After the land, we will integrate the power of all mankind and launch a holy war against evil. We will pass through the underworld and kill those damn dark elves, beholders, illithids, and disgusting bones. Finally, we will open
The passage to the Demon Realm, completely destroying the roots 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 and be a lustful, drunken, lazy priest? It's so ridiculous, how could our supreme God give you power?
?The reason why I gave you all this is just because of your teacher. But now, he is lying unable to move at all. I would like 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 that if that happened
If the magic missile was 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 scare Henry. He shouted viciously: "Do you know what you are doing? You are threatening the people of the God of Light in this continent. The Supreme God of Light is the most powerful person in this continent.
A pious letter”
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 off in a big way no matter what, just to prove his loyalty to Henry, so Ferdinand continued to shout: "For justice"
The words only ended here, and then a pair of big hands held Ferdinand's neck tightly, and he could no longer breathe. His face slowly turned red, and his mind gradually lost consciousness. Then,
My eyes went dark and I could no longer see clearly.
