When the "Rose Cross" troops were besieged, the believers who had not received any news in the "Sanctuary" hundreds of kilometers away still believed that this was a war without any suspense... The victory congratulations have been written, and the medals rewarded to the bishops have been put into exquisite boxes. Even the petals sprinkled when the team returned to victory have begun to be transported in batches from outside the city...

People had smiles on their faces, but they were completely unaware that disaster was coming quietly at this moment.

In the core area of ​​the "Temple", Bishop Rubens reached out to dust off the dust that did not exist on the robe, and walked into the chamber in front of him with a expressionless face.

The white hall has extremely empty space, and countless gorgeous sculptures exude the serious anger unique to the religious holy land, but Rubens has long been used to it.

Cardinal Moglani sat quietly in the wide armchair. When Rubens stopped and saluted Moglani as the "President Bishop", this conversation representing the confrontation between the two sects was opened with a question that Moglani seemed to chat with:

"Rubens, what do you think of Roddy?"

This question is quite difficult to answer. Rubens narrowed his eyes and thought about it and replied, "He is trustworthy."

A sharp look flashed in Moglani's eyes, but then he hid: "I heard about his deeds, Ansadin, Magda, Bellom... To be honest, with the strength of these guys, it is not necessarily a good idea to let us old guys fight against each other. But he is a young scout who has never shown his reputation before, but he has solved all these strong enemies in half a year - it is quite incredible."

Moglani did not use a questioning tone, but speaking this kind of words was a very obvious question. He shook his head and then sighed: "It's a pity that there are millions of believers in the sect, but there is not even a single person comparable to it."

This clearly expressed his attitude. Rubens knew that Moglani would definitely not say good things, so he was a little mentally prepared at this time and said in a deep voice: "Biography of Moglani, I understand what you mean - talents are all outstanding in war. Only after experiencing blood and fire can we truly understand how to fight against those pagans, right?"

"You only see these?" Moglani asked with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. He spread his hands and continued: "Rody may be very strong, but even so, what does it mean? Just because he is strong, can he become the pillar of the sect?"

Rubens narrowed his eyes and was silent and did not answer.

Moglani looked at Rubens with a little stubborn look and said in a low tone: "Rubens, I don't know why you admire him very much, but we don't need an outsider to be a savior... Is there no talent in our sect who can fight?"

"Of course there is, otherwise you wouldn't be in charge of the battle in person."

Rubens replied indifferently, but it seemed like a formulaic compliment, which made people unable to hear much respect.

Such sarcasm made Moglani a little annoyed, but he was happy to see the other party's uneasy appearance... No matter how he answered, when the war ended in victory, Rubens's position was completely impossible to compare with himself, and the few temptations and suppression at this time were enough to make the other party understand advance and retreat.

"Okay, I just want to explain this to you... The disputes within the sect are disputes, but no matter what the view is, they always have to rely on facts to speak."

"You are right, Lord Moglani. Any view must be explained clearly by facts."

Rubens did not make any rebuttal, but just answered respectfully - this made Moglani feel awkward to punch the fist, but this feeling was fleeting in an instant. His purpose had been achieved, and it was meaningless to say more nonsense, so this unpleasant meeting ended soon... And Rubens's lonely and somewhat deserted back seemed to have predicted his next fate.

Moglani turned around in a daze, reached out to pick up the letters on the desk that had been stacked in piles representing countless "good news", and snorted coldly: "No matter how much nonsense is, this is a battle to win."

*******

"puff!"

Just when Moglani was full of confidence in the war trend, on the battlefield outside the Brill Forest, three "Shadow Guards" holding sharp blades suddenly approached Bishop Flair who was protected by heavy troops, repelled the guards, chopped off the "Sacred Shield", and in the next second when the other party had no time to react, he cut off the commander's head with one knife...

Blood splattered, and the broken staff serpled and flew out.

The guards who were knocked out on both sides stood up desperately, but they could not stop the crazy fall of scimitar - everyone could only watch Bishop Flair being cut into several pieces, instantly becoming a pool of rotten meat that fell on the ground with a "crackling"...

No one had ever thought that within half an hour after the "decisive battle began", the situation on the entire battlefield would take such a sharp turn - the seemingly large number of reinforcements did not rescue the main force as they imagined, but were caught off guard by the enemy's "reserve team"!

The reinforcements did not leave any "reserve team", so they could only grit their teeth and stand up on the battlefield to face these sudden "shadow guards" and a large number of enemies that followed...

The "Shadow Guard" that appeared first, in conjunction with the second and third batch of smoke falling in the sky, the overall number still exceeded 200.

Although the combat troops with a total of more than 6,000 are not a big number, their existence instantly enhanced the propulsion ability of the "Virgence Cross" troops - the "Rose Cross" team, which originally resisted tenaciously, was crushed by them, and almost every team led by the "Shadow Guard" never stopped moving forward!

As they fought, reinforcements unknowingly mixed with the "main force" - but after losing Commander Flair, the teams that fought each other had no resistance in front of the "Shadow Guard" and were immediately divided...

For Roddy, the only way to change the situation in this situation is to "find" and "kill" the powerful Shadow Priest!

But he could only think about it and let the enemy rush over. He looked at the enemy who was rushing around and finally had to let the "Kodat Duck" dive down from the air. Then he grabbed its claws as the opponent roared past and evacuated the battlefield directly in flight.

Roddy has really done his best to these teams of "Rose Cross": he has done everything he should do, and if he still cannot stop the enemy's footsteps, he doesn't need to accompany these guys to die... However, in order to confirm Sally's situation, Roddy finally decided to let Keda Duck take him and fly straight towards the direction of the teams.

Such a shocking way of moving immediately attracted countless attention on the battlefield, but in just a few seconds, the two convenient once again immersed in the desperate battle, and no one thought about the strange scene he had just seen...

*******

On the other side, the team led by Sally had just arrived at the village as planned.

Because of the large-scale battle in the distance, the villagers hid in their homes due to fear and anxiety. Looking around, the whole village was quiet and there was no one at all. Sally had some expectations for this situation. She stepped to a thatched hut and ordered the soldiers around her cautiously: "Search the surroundings of the village to ensure there are no enemies."

"Yes, captain!"

Sally looked around and the soldiers who escaped with her described themselves as embarrassed and had no military appearance at all. The other two teams could only be described as "lost", sitting on the ground in a daze, gasping for breath, as if a wild dog was beaten up.

Looking back, the house behind me did not look worn out. The shepherd dog at the door shrank and sniffed the air and did not dare to approach. A flock of sheep was slowly walking by from a distance...

Although Sally's face remained unchanged at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little desperate. She just didn't think about how to inspire morale in such an environment, a short alarm sounded in an instant!

Before Sally could send someone to confirm the danger, an unprecedented shout of killing suddenly sounded not far from the village!

Looking back, Sally found that at this time, more than a dozen guys wearing "Rose Cross" robes rushed out of the village. They held up their weapons and rushed towards Sally's location together with the two cavalry teams that appeared outside the village!

"This is…"

"It's the enemy of disguise! The whole person shrinks his defense and looks for cover!"

"Beware of the enemy's cavalry!"

Sally's face turned pale in an instant: She didn't expect there would be an ambush from the enemy here!

It was time to say that, although there were not many enemies gushing out of the village, they collided with the team as fast as possible and firmly held Sally and others' footsteps!

"Buzz--"

The four magicians in the team immediately began to cast magic tricks on the soldiers around them. Sally also cast a "sacred shield" for herself, and then tried to grit her teeth and began to splash "the power of the lion king" around her. However, after raising her hand, Sally looked pale, as if she had been fixed on the spot...

The mana value is close to zero, and Sally can no longer cast magic at this time!

Not only that, just before she could come back to her senses, a large number of noisy shouts suddenly came to her all around her—

"There is a mage on the opposite side!"

"Captain, be careful!"

"Hide——"

Sally turned her head, but found that one of the dozen people rushing over was pointing the staff he held at him...

A purple light flashed, and with a "boom", a violent wave of air exploded in front of Sally. The "Shadow Blast" blew the "Sacred Shield" in front of Sally on the spot. Then the fierce shock wave directly exploded her delicate body!
Chapter completed!
