The official name of the Scythe Bearer Church Alliance is the Alliance to Conquer Heretics. It is composed of all the noble forces that believe in Hydrian in the entire Camelot Peninsula. These people are not fanatical believers and have close ties or secret common interests with the church.
From a baron with only dozens of people following him to a duke with several legions in his hand, from knights and attendants to lord knights, the Scythe Bearer Church is several times larger than the monastery in terms of both the number of people and the number of strong men.
Therefore, even though two lord knights were lost in the first two battles, the church alliance was not weakened in the slightest.
Quimper City, War Room.
The leader is Count Alix, the largest nobleman in Tuwen County. He is responsible for guarding Quimper and blocking the monastery. He controls seven legions with a total of 20,000 people.
For the monastery, Quimper is the only place to enter Tuwen County, but for the church, Quimper is just a city.
"On March 17th and March 21st, four thousand soldiers were killed and injured in these two battles, and two regiment commanders died. How do you explain it?" Alex's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears, "It's not like two pigs.
, no matter how you say kill, let others kill you."
He himself is also a lord knight, and his strength is weaker than the two legion commanders. If it were not for the support of his family and the church, he would not be able to take the position of commander.
As long as he was here to defend the city, he would definitely go out to participate in the battle. The tragic experience of the two regiment commanders made him very uncomfortable, and a sense of crisis suddenly emerged.
"Lord Alex, according to the investigation by the Military Justice Department after the war, the deaths of the two legion commanders were caused by a wizard. Maybe we should make preparations." Earl Berkeley, who was sitting on his left, sat upright.
On the seat, a report was spread out in front of him, which recorded in detail the oral statements of the soldiers who participated in the war.
Alex was very dissatisfied that he used such words to deal with him. He looked directly at the commander of the Berkeley Legion: "Sir Berkeley, please think carefully when you speak. Do you think I didn't read the report?
Leer of the Wolfsbane Legion was trying to take advantage when he saw a wizard, so he lost contact with the Guards and was killed by someone else's legion commander. This had nothing to do with the wizard. As for Parkinson, what did the report say?
of?"
Count Ya'an was also reading the report, and he interjected: "Lord Parkinson was indeed killed by a wizard. That day, the red mist on the battlefield was magic. According to the soldiers' confessions, the wizard opposite had a light-type weapon.
It’s a magic item, the other party used it to kill Mr. Parkinson.”
There were five lord-level counts in the war room, including Count Ya'an. After hearing his words, everyone looked ugly.
You must know that they are only lord-level knights. The opponent's wizard can kill Parkinson, 90% of them can kill them. This makes them uneasy. What will they do if they encounter them on the battlefield?
"The soldiers said that the wizard had a sword in his hand. When the wizard threw the sword into the sky, it would emit thousands of light. It was this light that took away Lord Parkinson's life.
The person asking the questions is a law enforcement officer from the Military Justice Department, and the people being questioned are also the surviving guards, so there is no need to worry about them telling lies."
"Parkinson was at the rear of the legion. How was he killed?" Some other earls didn't have time to read the document, so they asked, "Did the wizard use the flying spell?"
Earl Ya'an shook his head with a sarcastic expression on his face: "Parkinson finally committed the same problem as Leer. The legion he fought with at that time was a makeshift piece of rubbish. Parkinson was not even there yet.

When he took action, the opponent was already dispersed by his subordinates. At that time, the wizard was also trapped in the legion and retreated. Parkinson found the wizard who was protected by the knight. In order to catch him, Parkinson went into battle himself, and then he let him
Lost his life."
"So, if you don't touch the wizard, you'll be fine!" Earl Berkeley smiled. He seemed to have found a way to deal with it. "Lear and Parkinson were both killed when they advanced. When we encounter the wizard, we just need to retreat."
Yes. According to the soldiers, the wizard became very weak after casting the spell, otherwise he would not have used the mist to escape."
As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper with a portrait of a person drawn on it.
Everyone leaned their upper bodies forward and looked at the portrait. The person above was none other than Ian Hyde.
Berkeley continued, "This is the wizard that Lear saw. We asked the geniuses from the Scythe Bearer Church to obtain it from the brains of the surviving soldiers. As for the wizard who killed Parkinson, he was wearing a helmet at the time.
The soldiers could not see their faces. But the soldiers who survived the two battles all described that the wizard had a sword in his hand, so I am very sure that this is the person who killed Parkinson."
As he spoke, he took out another drawing of a long, straight, strange-looking sheathed sword and put it aside.
"Lord Alex, it's time for the church's wizards to take action, otherwise we will have no choice but to avoid the battle."
The avoidance of war in Berkeley's words means not going to the front line personally, relying on the soldiers under his command to fight, and following the normal pattern.
Hearing this, Alex seemed to have heard a joke: "Tell this to the adult who is supervising the battle."
He looked at his colleagues, who all had sinister expressions on their faces, and then looked at the two empty chairs, suddenly worried that there might be another empty chair after the next battle.
"However, this wizard must be dealt with, otherwise he will always be a cancer."
After that, he told them to continue the discussion, walked out of the room alone, turned around the corridor, and entered an empty room.
The room is very luxuriously decorated, and it can be seen that the owner of the house is very wealthy. A statue of Hyderian is hung in the most conspicuous place in the room, representing the faith of the owner of the room.
"Mr. Bishop, I reported to you the military situation last time. This time another legion commander died." Alex lowered his head humbly. His identity as commander of the coalition forces was worthless at this moment.
In the deepest part of the room, the bishop of the Church of the Scythe Bearer in Quimper City put his hands on his chest and was praying devoutly.
If there is a wizard here, he can see a black mark hidden on the bishop's forehead, and the statue of Hyderian above him emits black smoke like hair, entering his body through the black mark, and as the
After he absorbed the smoke bit by bit, the other party's mental power actually improved slightly.
"Are you saying that the other party sent wizards into the battlefield and killed two lord knights?"
The bishop was elderly and looked like a kind and kind old woman, but what she was discussing was the life and death of two strong men.
Acris continued to lower his head and reported: "Yes, according to the investigation, Captain Parkinson was killed by a wizard using a light magic item, which is extremely powerful!
Since he has appeared on the battlefield twice and our intelligence has been confirmed, I came to ask the bishop to send our Lord’s soldiers to kill him. To prevent him from assassinating our commander again and causing changes in the war.”

As he spoke, he handed over Ian's portrait and the drawing of Yuan Chenyun's divine sword.
The old woman heard the little thought in Acris' words. She raised her hand and two pieces of paper flew into her hand.
After seeing the person drawn on the drawing, she quickly recognized the person's identity: "Ian Hyde, the gifted wizard of the monastery!"
As she spoke, other information about Ian continued to appear in her mind. Since the war began, the Scythe Bearer Church has been investigating the monastic order's wizard information, but Norton Mountain has been keeping a low profile, so they have only found wizards at the level of gifted people.
, Ian Hyde happens to be among them.
Due to the relationship between Roger and Elfo, both Ian and Jasmine have become the focus of the Scythe Bearer Church.
After hearing this, Alex immediately asked: "My lord, do you know him?"
The old woman nodded and said: "This man is from the Hyde family of Yorkshire. He was promoted to a gifted person in 1567. He was present in the two apocalyptic events. This man has a deep connection with Lord Roger.
"
Hearing this, Acris suddenly became excited because he heard Roger's name: "Are you talking about Lord Roger Isaiah, Lord Death's envoy?"
After the Appleton Apocalypse incident, although Roger went overseas, he still had a high prestige among the believers of the dark gods on the Navia Peninsula. All of this was deliberately done by the church in order to make the believers more pious.
.
Believe that Roger Isaiah is the salvation sent by their gods.
"That's right!" The old woman looked at the drawings, her eyes showing deep hatred and disgust.
If it hadn't been for Ian, Lord Hussein's revelation would not have caused so many twists and turns, which ultimately led to the demise of the divine envoy of their church.
If Jacques, Consul and Gabriel were their number one targets to kill, then Ian and Jasmine were the second ones after them, and they hated them even more than the heretics.
Therefore, the images of Ian and Jasmine have already spread throughout the churches in major cities. As long as they dare to show their faces within the church's sphere of influence, the pastors will lead the ascetics in the church out in droves. They will not be killed unless they are killed.
give up.
"What does he have to do with Master Roger?" Acris asked curiously. Once a wizard and an angel are related, they can basically be regarded as synonymous with danger.
The earl suddenly wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. Even though the family staff had already analyzed for him that the domain wizards would not take action in Quimper, as long as he did not risk his own life and found someone to challenge him, he would be absolutely safe among the army.
, but he doesn't feel safe at all now.
The old woman glanced at him indifferently, and the kindness on her face had already disappeared when she spoke, "This is not your business!"
After hearing this, Acris immediately lowered his raised head in fear and apologized quickly: "I understand, Lord Bishop. So what are you going to do with Ian Hyde?"
Acris controls the coalition forces through the family power behind him, but the wizards summoned by the Scythe Bearer Church are not under his jurisdiction. Those religious wizards and wandering wizards are all in the hands of the old woman in front of him, so if he wants to deal with
Ian, there is no other way but to pray to this bishop.
Judging from the old woman's expression after seeing Ian's portrait, the other party is likely to take action.
Sure enough, Acris soon heard the other party say: "Someone will deal with him next time he goes to war. You just need to do your job well."
