"Thank you very much for saving us, but due to the old pope's order, we still have to take the 'Son of God' back.
The ‘Son of God’ plays an important role in the religious order, especially in the face of the rebel faction that is now eyeing us. I hope you can understand this, Therese, and this mysterious strong man.”
When they said these words, these temple knights also lowered their heads in shame, because they also knew that they, who had just been rescued, were quite shameless to say such words now.
.
But they are quite helpless about this. The Temple Knights are very devout beings to the Order, and they are also extremely loyal to the Order.
The role of the "Son of God" in the cult is indeed very important. Therese and the others could turn a blind eye and let her go, but that was really not possible for the "Son of God".
"What will happen to your Milis Order? Is that none of my business?
All in all, I said before that I wanted to ensure the safety of the Son of God, so that she would never have the slightest surprise. It was for Aunt Therese's sake that I helped you.
If you don’t know what is good, you can choose to take action now, I can easily revive you, and naturally I can easily kill you again!"
When they heard Wood's rather cold words and came into contact with his murderous gaze, these temple knights couldn't help but fell silent.
There is no doubt that they have no doubt about the authenticity of what they say. Although the young man in front of them looks young, he does have such strength.
After all, they have the terrifying ability to kill nearly a hundred monsters with one sword. No matter how many times their numbers are, they are still not enough to kill them with one sword.
If you resist, you will definitely be dead. But if you choose to compromise, you will violate the Pope's order. This is a taboo-like offense for the Temple Knights.
"We have decided to go back to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, so you don't have to feel embarrassed at all."
Looking at Wood who was a little nervous, and then looking at the Temple Knight who looked hesitant and seemed to be planning to fight to the death for his faith, in the end it was the kind-hearted "Son of God" who spoke first.
If there is a conflict with Wood, there is no doubt that even if these temple knights have a few more lives, they will not be enough to die.
And since the Pope's order is only to bring him as the "Son of God" back to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, it does not seem to conflict with their current purpose at all. Therefore, out of his kind character, the "Son of God" took the initiative to speak.
.
"This powerful Excellency is also preparing to go to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, so I wonder if you can help our Milis Order?
Now that the old pope is old, rebels have appeared in the sect. In order to seize power, they even ignored the lives of ordinary people in the ecclesiastical country, triggering a tide of beasts..."
When they heard the "Son of God" said that Wood was also preparing to go to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, the first thing these temple knights thought of was that they hoped or hired Wood to help their order to eradicate the rebels.
Wood's previous strength is obvious to everyone present. Whether it is swordsmanship or magic, it can be said that he is already at the peak stage of mankind.
With such help, not to mention the rebels, even the problem of the beast tide that is about to attack the Holy Kingdom of Milis can be solved in an instant.
"I think you must have misunderstood. I have nothing to do with your Milis Order. I will save you just for the sake of my Aunt Therese.
This time we returned to the Holy Kingdom of Milis mainly for my grandmother Claire and the La Torrea family. As for the civil strife that broke out in your cult, what does it have to do with me?
I am not a saint and I am not a believer in Milis, so why should I help you?"
Hearing Wood's unkind words, these temple knights were stunned on the spot. Although Wood's words were ruthless, they were indeed true.
The other party was just an outsider. Helping them was a matter of love, and not helping them was also a duty. They really couldn't find an excuse to refute, so in the end they could only look to Therese for help.
From Wood's words just now, one could not tell that this extremely powerful young man's true identity was actually a relative of the La Torrea family, and as the young aunt, Therese seemed to have a certain say in Wood's affairs.
However, when she noticed that these temple knights were looking at her, Therese turned her head away.
The other party's previous behavior of pursuing her and the "Son of God", putting them in danger, had already made Therese completely disappointed with the so-called Knights of the Temple.
The friendship between former colleagues was repaid by Therese after Wood came to the rescue just now.
Now Therese no longer wants to have anything to do with the Milis Order, so it is naturally even more impossible for her to ask Wood to help the Order quell the chaos.
Wood was unwilling to help, and the Temple Knights were helpless. However, the "Son of God" was willing to follow them back to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, which made the Temple Knights breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, with the support of Wood, even if the "Son of God" is not willing to return to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, they have nothing to do. Although they failed to hire a strong man like Wood this time, they can still be regarded as completing the old pope's mission.
The command.
As for whether the "Son of God" is willing to return to the church after returning to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, that is not their business.
After all, the mission they received before was just to bring the "Son of God" back to the Holy Kingdom of Milis. As for how to bring the "Son of God" back to the church from the strong man Wood, that should be a headache for the old pope.
With a few temple knights acting as pawns, and Wood's bravery all the way, Therese and his party soon arrived at the gate of the Holy King's Capital of Milis.
Because of the news that the beast tide is coming, the capital of Milis is almost in a state of panic at this moment.
Families and dignitaries with some background in the Theocracy were unwilling to give up their family business and leave their hometown for many years, so they all needed the protection of the Order.
At this moment, the sect is already very busy due to the civil strife caused by the rebel faction, and there is no time to take care of other things.
As for the ordinary civilians in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, they began to leave the royal capital on a large scale at this moment. After all, everyone in this world is quite aware of how terrifying the beast tide is.
Ordinary monsters can easily kill adult ordinary people. Needless to say, the so-called "beast tide", let alone ordinary people, even an army with the same number is like a paper lake in front of the beast tide.
of general.
Because a large number of people left the city, the behavior of Wood and his men entering the city was particularly conspicuous.
"The capital of King Milis is in such chaos, and now even the ordinary people know the news that the beast tide is coming?
But without the protection of city walls and temple knights, if these ordinary people leave the royal capital and encounter a group of monsters, they will be no different from the food delivered to their doorsteps.
They are all devout Milis believers, so the cult just lets them risk their lives and venture out of the city?"
Seeing a large number of Milis citizens pouring out of the city, Therese also glared at the few temple knights beside him with an angry face and said.
They had just returned here from the outside and knew exactly what the situation was like outside at this moment.
As members of the Knights of the Temple, even if they encounter a group of small and medium-sized monsters, they will only be destroyed by the group, let alone the ordinary people of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.
Not to mention Xiaobo's group of monsters, even if they encounter a lone monster, they can easily kill a civilian army of a hundred people.
“It’s not that the sect doesn’t care about the life and death of these people, but that the current sect has too much time to take care of itself due to the civil strife.
The Temple Knights simply cannot recruit enough people to resist the beast tide, so the actions of these believers are actually tacitly approved by the Order, because compared with resisting the beast tide in the capital, their chances of escaping and surviving are actually higher.
Higher."
Hearing the Temple Knight's argument, Wood on the side couldn't help but sneered: "Do you care more about your current power and status than resisting the beast tide?
From the looks of it, this old pope doesn’t seem to be a good guy, but it’s not surprising, after all, there is such a thing as the ‘Son of God’.”
Facing Wood's sarcastic words, these temple knights lowered their heads in shame and chose to remain silent. If possible, they would naturally want to resist the beast tide, even if they died for it.
However, it is a pity that the purpose of the Temple Knights' creation was to protect the Order, and the Pope's order was also absolute.
"Everyone, run quickly, the beast tide is coming!"
"There are high-level monsters such as the Flame Lizard, the Ringed Bear, and the Rock Python. We are really dead this time! God Milis, please listen to the prayers of your devout believers and save us!"
"Where are the Temple Knights? Where is the Pope of the Milis Order?"
Just when Wood and the others were about to enter the city, the so-called beast tide suddenly attacked, and those who originally planned to escape the capital of Milis naturally became the first targets.
As soon as Wood and the others entered the city, the huge city gate was already closed by the guards guarding the gate.
Because once these monsters are allowed to enter the city, the hundreds of thousands of people in the city will become food for the monsters.
In comparison, although the people now imprisoned outside the city are pitiful, there is nothing they can do about it.
After all, compared to the few people outside the city and the majority of people in the city at this moment, the guards guarding the city still know what is more important.
On one side is a menacing group of monsters, and on the other side is the closed city gate. For the citizens of the Royal Capital of Milis who were preparing to flee, they are undoubtedly desperate at this moment.
They themselves did not expect that as devout Milis believers, they would eventually be treated like this.
And just when the beast tide was gradually approaching them, but the city gate behind them showed no intention of opening, and everyone outside the city was on the verge of despair, even closing their eyes and waiting for death, a slightly childish but very powerful male voice suddenly
appeared above them.
"As equally devout Milis believers, since the Order and the Temple Knights do not care about your life or death, it is up to me, the La Torrea family, to enforce justice.
Holy level ice magic·ice-breaking spear!"
The citizens of Milis, who had been in deep despair and even closed their eyes to wait for death, first heard a slightly childish male voice, and then felt a chill in the air.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old with blond hair descending in front of them like a god descending from the earth.
The blond boy's eyes were as clear as water, and he could actually walk in the air, which was absolutely impossible for humans. And with every move of his hands, ice spears flashing with cold light appeared around the boy's body.
As the ice spears made bursts of sound in the air, each high-level monster howled and was directly penetrated and killed!
The halo effect formed by the magic power, coupled with the overly powerful ice magic affecting the environment, caused pieces of snowflakes to begin to float around Wood, which also made Wood's figure more holy, powerful and mysterious.
For those Milis citizens who should have been killed by beasts, Wood at this moment is simply like a real son of God. Many people even knelt down towards Wood at this moment and made a gesture with clasped hands.
Prayer form.
The number of monsters is so astonishing that even if Wood continues to use "holy level" ice magic to clear the area, the vacancies that will soon appear will be filled by new monsters.
If the more powerful "Emperor Level" magic is used, the efficiency of killing monsters will undoubtedly be greatly increased, but the destructive power and range of "Emperor Level" magic are too strong.
Wood was also worried that while exterminating the monsters, it would also affect the Milis citizens outside the city. It was also for this reason that Wood only used "holy level" magic.
But now it seems that even the most powerful ice attribute magic he has mastered, if it is only at the "holy level" level, it is estimated that it will not be able to solve the impact of the beast tide.
So soon, Wood changed his strategy again. He pressed his hands on the ground and unfolded two huge blue magic arrays. In just a few seconds, Wood constructed a line of up to ten meters on the flat ground.
Meters, a huge ice wall nearly a hundred meters long separated the Milis citizens outside the city from the beast tide.
Then he looked at the Milis citizens who were praying to him and said: "This ice wall should be enough to block those monsters for a while. You take this opportunity to enter the city, and I will deal with those monsters that are in the way."
With these words behind him, Wood jumped down from the ice wall, then stretched out his hand to pull out the "Winter Knight" from the void, and then rushed towards the beast wave directly in front of him!
Because of the obstacle of the ice wall, the guards at the Milis City Gate also opened the door to admit people from outside. However, these people who had escaped from death no longer had the good looks towards these temple knights as before, but faced them instead.
Therese knelt down and thanked her in various ways, and kept asking whether the blond boy just now was a descendant of the La Torrea family.
