"May the Holy Light bless us!"
"May the Holy Light bless us!"
The sound of hooves echoed in the wilderness. The Crusaders of the Lambas Church embarked on their second expedition to the Velun Kingdom.
"Exterminate the heretics!
For the Holy Light! "
Missionaries were constantly shouting from the wagons that were used to boost morale. They were like "propagandists" who cheered up the soldiers, giving them all sorts of slogans to "lift their spirits".
Wale lifted his head and gazed at the scorching sun above his head. At this moment, the temperature in the Lambas Empire was almost as hot as the Holy Lance in the middle of summer. Even though Wale wasn't wearing his armor, he still felt as though he was soaking in water. Moreover, he was no longer the energetic young lad from before. This battle had left him slightly conflicted from the bottom of his heart. In short, this wasn't an emotion that a qualified soldier should have. Wale reached out to touch the pendant on his chest — it was a gift from the girl named Kaos whom he had just met. His fingers touched the dagger hanging on his waist from time to time. It was still that exquisitely crafted dagger. Wale carried this dagger with him at all times to remind himself not to forget that it was the giver of this dagger that saved the last two hundred knights of the Order.
Following this route, they would reach the Velun Kingdom in four days. The morale of the troops wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. In short, everything was going according to the Pope's plan. As the overall commander, Merkel also followed the troops. This time, he had the highest authority over the troops. However, the mission didn't seem as difficult as he had imagined.
The majority of the expedition team consisted of Knights. This was because they had great mobility in the plains and snowy plains of the Velun Kingdom. However, the price for this was a huge logistical system. In order to make up for the lack of supplies, the Lambas Church had brought along thirty percent more rations than before in case of emergencies.
The situation on the continent seemed to have changed subtly under the influence of a huge palm.

North of the Velun Kingdom.
Although it was summer, the temperature here wasn't warm. There wasn't any ice and snow covering the ground. However, in the shade of the mountains without sunlight, the temperature was abnormally cold.
Everything was silent, but all of this was broken by a sudden vibration at the next moment.
All of a sudden, the stones on the ground began to tremble slightly. Then, the larger stones began to tremble as well. Rumbling sounds came from afar, but it didn't sound like the 'clatter' of a cavalry charge. Instead, it sounded like muffled thunder rolling across the ground.
Kacha.
The withered branches on the ground were suddenly crushed by the powerful limbs. Then, it was as if a dark green ocean had swept across the land, drowning everything!
Like a plague of locusts, more than a few square kilometers of land was completely covered by these green creatures. They were the disgusting hounds that many of them had seen before, and now … they had made a comeback!
From the looks of it, these fellows were unstoppable!
The rumbling of the ground gave them a suffocating sense of oppression. The army in front of them … or rather, this horde of beasts didn't look like an army at all. Instead, it looked like a super monster that could devour everything at any time!
There were very few villages on the borders of the Velun Kingdom, but that didn't mean that there were none. When the beasts saw a village in the distance, they were like sharks that smelled blood. The village that didn't even have a few hundred households was instantly drowned in this huge 'flood'. The villagers didn't even have a chance to resist before they were devoured cleanly!
The first wave of the Abyssal Tribe's attack was ferocious!

"Mages, rest and replenish your magic power!"
"Momore, meditate in the city. Be careful."
"Yes, My Lord."
Medusa bowed to Many, then turned around and walked down the city walls. After defending the city for a day, Sibor had achieved a complete victory. However, the rebel army's attack seemed a little weak, and it was obvious that this was only a probing attack. Facing a city protected by a city wall, especially one that was as weak as Liliath City, the rebel army naturally knew that they had to take it slow. There were many records of such a city being besieged in history. The longest siege lasted for two years, until the people in the city were exhausted and their supplies were depleted. In short, there were no problems, and it seemed like the enemy had plenty of time.
Many wasn't worried. The rebel army wasn't a big problem. He had the Teleportation Formation and Space Ring, so there was no problem with supplies. Thus, he was very relaxed today.
After letting Momore rest, Many was still worried. He ordered a few Cullen trolls that came with him to protect the mages. It was already night time, and the entire area under the city walls had regained its silence. It wasn't suitable to attack a city at night, so the rebel army obediently went back to camp. Many heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.
After a whole day and night, Many had exhausted a lot of his experiences. He was a little tired, so he stretched his body and walked towards the stairs by the side of the city wall.
Suddenly, Many stopped in his tracks. He felt that the atmosphere around him had changed a little. In short, he felt a little uncomfortable. This feeling wasn't physical, but came from the depths of his mind.
What's going on?
Many frowned and looked around. This lord saw the soldiers on the city walls, and the sky in the distance was pitch black. He couldn't see anything.
Could it be an illusion?
No, as a Professional and a former sniper, Many would never neglect the feeling of the minutest details, especially the abnormalities that appeared in his mind under such circumstances. He was very clear that there were enough strange things that had happened to him. He couldn't make a rash conclusion about any small matter.
Narrowing his eyes, Many silently took out Krillin's Blade. He held it in one hand and continued to walk down the city walls.
Caution and caution. This was Many's consistent principle.
However, the faint uneasiness in his heart made him feel that something was amiss. After carefully sensing it, Many discovered that ever since he took out Krillin's Blade, this feeling became stronger and stronger. His heartbeat gradually began to accelerate. It was like the feeling of adrenaline surging before a battle. However, Many currently didn't have any desire to battle because he didn't find any targets that he needed to attack.
The situation caused many to take a deep breath. As they walked down the city wall, the number of soldiers around them gradually decreased. Many of them purposely chose a secluded path to walk until there was no one around. Then, many of them stopped and looked around.
The sky was already dark, and many could see that there was nothing out of the ordinary in their surroundings. The torches by the roadside burned quietly, which were used to guide the soldiers at night. The ground was slightly damp, as if it had just rained a few days ago. Many took a deep breath, and a faint earthy smell filled the tip of their noses.
But the next moment, Many suddenly discovered that a long shadow had appeared in front of him!
This feeling was very strange. For a moment, Many had an illusion. It was as if he saw the last scene before he came to this world … That was his own shadow suddenly appearing in front of him and then shrinking in an instant!
Teleportation!
Many did not hesitate to cast this skill, and his figure instantly appeared on the roof next to him!
"Bang!"
The next moment, a loud explosion appeared where Many was just a moment ago!
The dazzling light almost blinded Many for a moment, but his tightly squinted eyes still captured the strange figure. Six flashing wings suddenly flapped, and on the ground there was a frightening deep pit. Becky's figure suddenly flew towards Many!
Her speed was too fast!
Many had just seen the person in front of him when he found that the long sword had already pierced his chest!
Wait … Long sword?
"Hiss —"
Many figures abruptly dodged to the side. The long sword brushed past many of their cloaks and instantly pierced them in half!
The incomparably sharp shape allowed Many to observe the true appearance of the long sword at close range. This was the long sword that the angel had once used!
Many would never mistake the white blazing sword in front of him. It looked like an ancient artifact from ancient times, exuding a more majestic aura than Krillin's Blade!
"Ha!"
With a delicate shout, Becky swung the sword at Many!
Shadowy Footsteps once again appeared on a rooftop not far from Becky. The sword did not make any sound as it slashed through the air, leaving only a dazzling ring of light, as though a white disc had appeared in front of Becky. But the sword had merely slashed through the air, and the violent sword energy it generated had already sliced the chimney not far away!
Rank Ten strength?
