The guards hired heavily in a circle and leaned towards Neham cautiously and slowly. They were all experienced mercenaries, and they could see that the young man dressed in a noble costume was excellent.

When it comes to the Morning Sect, we have to mention the two corpses composed of close combat: the Revenge Army and the Dawn Knight. If the former is a miscellaneous army composed of criminals, refugees, and breakers, then the latter is a regular army with good birth. Putting aside the gap in identity, just in terms of strength, the Dawn Knight is stronger, and the mercenaries hope that this intruder is the Revenge Army. Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

As the future leader of the Knights who were focused on cultivating, Neham also knew that the sect and Hornheim had a secret agreement reached privately, and it was signed earlier than the invasion of the undead. At that time, the most difficult stage of the northern battle, the Natural Alliance suffered heavy losses in the north, and some nobles were bribed by the undead and refused to send troops. In order to appease and win over Hornheim, who was holding the key to the war, the great priest at that time made a last resort and allowed Hornheim's slave trade. Anyway, the dwarves and dwarves did not send troops to fight against the undead, just used the hands of Hornheim and the night elves to teach a lesson to the dwarves and dwarves who thought they lived underground and the war could not spread.

Later, the battle in the north was defeated, the natural alliance broke down, and the undead went south. The self-enclosure of the Earth Pillar triggered the violent riots of some animals and plants. The land eroded by the dead air became increasingly severe. The living environment of human beings deteriorated. It is estimated that in a few decades, human beings themselves will perish without the undead.

As early as before the Mirror Hall meeting, the Grand Priest discussed with the sect's priests and elders. The secret agreement that lasted fifty years was time to end. This was not to please the son of nature, but to the anti-undead alliance that was about to be restarted. To pull the dwarves and dwarfs, it is necessary to abolish the slave trade that humans have never interrupted since the Silver Age. In the past, relying on the number of races and the suppression of Hornheim, humans conquered and enslaved many species on the continent. Now, the tide of undead that has lasted for hundreds of years has greatly reduced the strength of Hornheim's mages, and the rising undeads have gradually eroded the territory that once belonged to the Silver Empire.

Naham's outing was nominally a routine training for the successor to the position of leader. In fact, he not only had the task of following the son of nature to monitor the seal of the demon dragon's descendants, but also followed the secret order of the priest to use Link's hand to get rid of the NAX slave market that had existed like a cancer for fifty years.

I thought Link's purpose was to be a big trap and would definitely pass through Nax City, so Neham did not make detailed arrangements, but Link didn't play the cards accordingly, which made Neham very angry. He was angry that he was too confident and even angry that Link didn't keep his word. He just made a guarantee to the great priest. He left Vaulet and got rid of himself. Fortunately, their purpose was Nax City. If he suddenly turned a corner and went to Xindu, he wouldn't know where to put his face. Before leaving, he patted his chest and promised the priest that he would complete the task.

When he thought of this, Neham's anger seemed to be concrete. His character was introverted, unlike other fanatics in the sect. Anyone who violated the teachings of the morning light was regarded as depravity and evil, and would be eliminated. But he had just lost his mind and killed all the gangsters who blocked the way, without leaving any one. This violated Neham's principle of not killing the weak, and he attributed this to being influenced by the Son of Nature.

From the first glance of meeting, Neham didn't like Link. He hated his casualness and his pretentiousness. The most hateful thing was that he didn't play according to common sense and did whatever he thought of. He completely ignored other people's feelings, and even more so on the overall situation!

From a personal perspective, Doyle is pitiful and innocent, but she is carrying the blood of the demon dragon. Once violent, it will be a disaster that is no less than the undead. The awakened divine power is amazing. Except for Hornheim's sage, only the Grand Priest can fight against it. Whether they are injured or dead, it will be an immeasurable loss to humans. From the overall situation, even if there is no end to it, Neham will only be like the great priest, and be determined to kill Doyle before she can fully awaken.

After learning from the great priest, Neham was both happy and sad. What was happy was that Doyle survived after awakening. After all, he had lived together for more than ten years, and he had always regarded her as a relative and taught her as a teacher. What was worried was that Doyle was completely tied to Link. The style of the son of nature seemed to be order on the surface, but Neham saw from Link's repeated intervention in the nobles that he disregarded the inherent rules of the world and the rebellion hidden in his personality. That was a very dangerous signal. Once he fell into the punishment... the consequences were unimaginable, Doyle, who was originally a descendant of the demon dragon, fell into the abyss and could never turn over.

Facts proved that Neham's concerns were correct. Link's laissez-faire attitude almost made Doyle go wild. Although it was finally suppressed, his evaluation of Link's already low was completely reduced to the bottom.

Is it appropriate to let such a person shoulder the burden of saving the mainland? Why did the priest stake his hope on this guy? Will he be the next Hicks?

In just a few seconds, a lot of unanswered questions flashed through Neham's mind. Looking at the narrowing encirclement, his suppressed anger erupted again, and he said coldly to the mercenary: "Be accomplice for the tiger, and deal with it together."

The guards stopped all the time, and they looked at each other in the end, and finally looked at the head of the slave market, the wizard Oro.

Oro is not a fool. Although he is not as good as Dauler who is with Fred, he is the most trusted subordinate of the old Nax. If it weren't for his lack of talent, with the time he followed the old city lord, the position of chief disciple would never be Dauler.

Long before the invasion of the undead, Hornheim reached a secret agreement with the Morning Light Sect, not interfering or investigating the slave trade. Now, the Dawn Knight, as a high-level believer, not only entered the city of Nax, but also appeared in the slave market, which is enough to prove that the Morning Light Sect has terminated the agreement with Hornheim.

Oro had only one thought in his mind - to stop Neham, no matter what, he could not leave alive! Even if everyone knows that Nax is the largest slave market on the mainland, the Chenxi Sect cannot be officially settled. Otherwise, what awaits them will be a more tragic ending than the Kolk royal family.

The situation is different. Under pressure, Hornheim may give up, but he will definitely give up Nucks City. Low-level mages like them who are not at high rank and who personally participate in the slave trade will only be regarded as scapegoats. Not to mention themselves, even the city lord Fred and even old Nucks cannot escape.

"Kill him!" Oro gave the order to fight to the death, "Let him run away, none of us can survive!"

After saying that, Oro raised the wand in his hand, but he was aiming at Neham, but piles of cages in the distance. The hot flames turned into fire snakes, rushing towards the slaves who could not escape without resistance at a fast speed.

"Villa!" Link shouted softly, and Vera soared into the air like a winged one, chasing the Fire Snake at a speed that was no less than a spell.

Oro said 'eh', then squinted his eyes and stared at Link who had appeared because of the Dawn Knight.

Is this guy... the same as the Knight of Dawn?

Of course he noticed the contraction of Neham's pupils when he saw Link. He didn't think about this because of his naked disgust. Now... he is not sure.

Just as Oro was distracted, Neham moved. He raised his hand and began to summon the Light Blade sword symbolized by the Dawn Knight. The guards launched an attack almost at the same time, trying to defeat Neham before the Light Blade fully appeared. Knowing that the Dawn Knight had magical skills to defend himself, they still bit the bullet in order to survive.

clang—

As expected, the invisible barrier blocked the weapons that were stabbed from all directions. Failed to a single blow, the hired mercenaries did not advance again, but turned around and fled, leaving only Oro to face Neham holding a light blade. These people were thinking about the same thing in their minds - saving their lives is important. Even if the Dawn Knights would not let them go, they would not be able to catch everyone in one go. As for who is the fish that escapes the net, they all rely on their abilities.

The Dawn Knight is different from the Revenge Army. As the strongest combat power of the Morning Light Sect, he is not only proficient in close combat, but also practices various auxiliary magical techniques. Fighting with monsters makes them the nemesis of the mage.

Knowing that he was not his opponent, Oro pretended to be calm. In fact, his hand holding the wand was trembling slightly. Facing Neham, who did not say a word but had a gloomy face, Oro stepped back step by step. Without taking a few steps, his back suddenly became cold, and the mysterious man who arrived earlier than the Knight of Dawn blocked his way.

Usually in this case, shouldn't he escape? Even if his rank is not low and he can draw with the Dawn Knights, he shouldn't block his own way of retreat. Could it be...

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is who you are." Link played tongue twister with the other party in a evasive way.

Oro's mouth twitched, and an ugly expression came out.

Bastard...

"It's true..." Link said blindly.

Neham frowned, turned his head slightly, and looked at the passage behind him.

He had experienced this aura up close not long ago. The city lord Fred and the aide mage Dawule should have been chased by the blood... I would have suppressed my anger if I had known it, so I might have delayed it for a while.

"It's better to succeed than to lose things." Link turned on the mockery mode and cut off the last sanity in Neham's mind. The angrily burst into anger turned into a golden sword and slashed towards the artificially excavated path. The sand and stones fell one after another, and in an instant they blocked the path.

"The city lord is surrounded by a master-level mage." Link implied that such delays are meaningless.

"How long do you want to stand here and watch? Isn't it your priority to rescue the imprisoned victims?" Neham replied with a cold face.

Link tsked and turned around and ran towards the chaotic market.

"The guy who is in the way is gone." Neham's cold and hard voice made Oro even tremble, "Punish the evil people who violate order in the name of morning light."
