What happened outside?

Looking at the civilian area with flames in the distance, almost everyone felt a sense of uneasiness and fear. Bishop Ryan paced back and forth in the temple anxiously, not hiding the worry on his face at all. He is the bishop of the Harvest Temple,

He is also the spokesperson of the Holy Church in Orante. He enjoys a very good reputation among the common people and nobles of Orante for his profound knowledge and humorous language, but now the bishop does not seem to care about maintaining it.

His own demeanor, his brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy.

The city of Orant itself is not big. Since the nobles have a monopoly on the minerals here, they have limited the population to about 8,000 people. Excluding the four major legions, there are a total of 3,000 people and hundreds of nobles.

, most of the others are civilians and businessmen, and the Harvest Temple is the only temple here, so it naturally has a lot of believers and profits. For Ryan, this is naturally a good thing. But now, he feels that this

Not a good thing anymore.

The temple is already crowded with refugees who have come to flee. The Harvest Temple is located in the center of the business district and usually accepts civilian believers, so this is not a big problem. But the current situation is obviously different. According to the refugees, they

After being attacked by the undead, the entire civilian area has now been occupied by those damn undead and has been completely occupied. When he heard the news, Ryan was naturally shocked. He immediately thought of the undead empire in the Western Swamp.

Although Orant is still some distance away from the Lost Swamp, as a member of the Templar Order, he has naturally heard about the terrifying undead creatures that come out of the dark depths of the earth. The Templar Order

He has sent troops more than once to destroy those damn undead creatures, but all failed. Ryan even knew that three paladin captains died in the battle, which shows how powerful and terrifying the opponent is. But he did not expect that Oran

Special City will actually be attacked by those undead creatures.

How did those damn undead get around?

While gathering the refugees, Ryan quickly sent people to ask for help from the rear. Although he was a bishop, the God of Harvest was not good at fighting, and the same was true for its believers. If it was to offer sacrifices, treat plagues and diseases, or

Removing pests and protecting huge profits can be regarded as the duties of the followers of the God of Harvest. But if you ask them to deal with undead creatures, it is like a businessman leading an army in a war - this profession is not suitable at all!

But right now, Ryan just feels cold inside.

He sent people to the front to investigate the situation, and he also sent people to the rear to request assistance. But until now, he has not received any response. The soldiers sent out seemed to be completely swallowed up by darkness, and there was no response at all. On the contrary,

More and more refugees are pouring into the temple. However, Ryan did not get much useful information from them. A large part of these people did not know what was going on behind the scenes, and they just wanted to

He rushed here to escape for his life. But what made Ryan more and more confused was that even these refugees did not see his subordinates. Where did those paladins go? Are they maintaining order in the rear to evacuate the refugees? Or are they?

What clues were discovered?

Bishop Lane raised his head and looked at the huge statue in the center of the temple. He couldn't help but clasp his hands and pray. There were not many soldiers of the Holy Church stationed in Orant, and there were only fifty paladins in total. Among them, there were only

A paladin captain. Previously, Ryan sent twenty paladins to be responsible for liaison and investigation, but now there is no news from these people. This makes Ryan feel panic. He wants to continue sending people, but he is worried about the order inside the temple.

, there are now more than 500 refugees pouring into the temple, and they are already very frightened. If they don't have enough power to maintain order, God knows what will happen.

Thinking of this, Bishop Lane once again squeezed the Holy Emblem in his hand. Just now he tried to contact his gods and pray for guidance. But the result was not good. The omen brought by the magic showed that there was only darkness like night in front of them.

It was like a huge, terrifying beast that devoured everything. This alone was enough to make Bishop Lane panic.

Darkness comes faster than imagined.

A dazzling lightning broke the original silence, reflecting the pale color on everyone's face. The deafening thunder struck people's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Heavy rain is coming.

"This is the Harvest Temple..."

Slowly walking out of the alley, looking at the huge temple built of white marble in front of him, Zhan En's eyes showed a smile. The pouring rain covered everything like falling water. The light of lightning flashed again and again.

Passing through the sky, it brought a dazzling pale white light to the dark earth. Reflected on Zhan En's body, you can see that with the burst of lightning, a series of black shadows suddenly appeared, and then suddenly disappeared again.

The nobles still didn't respond.

Zhan En raised his head and looked at the noble area halfway up the mountain behind the temple. The lights there were still bright, and under the influence of the [Evil Eye], Zhan En could see that most of the nobles were still immersed in sleep. Although

There are already a few people who seem to be in charge and have noticed that the situation is not good, but after losing contact, it may be difficult for them to take any action.

And the heavy rain in front of us is also a good excuse.

What's next......

Thinking of this, Zhan looked at the temple door in front of him again, and then he raised his right hand.

It's time for the protagonist to appear.

"boom!!!"

Bishop Lane turned his head, eyes widening in horror, and looked in front of him.

The heavy door bent and shattered like an inflated balloon in an instant, and the flying fragments spread around like sharp arrows. The bright red flames flew out, roaring like a flood that broke a bank and swept through those people.

The crowd had no time to escape. In a split second, the air flow erupted from the explosion was like an invisible hand sweeping out of the air. The refugees were thrown away and hit hard on the ground and walls.

The flames dissipated instantly, and heavy rain mixed with strong winds blew into the entire temple along the gap opened by the explosion. It was only then that people seemed to realize what had happened. They screamed and yelled and retreated in panic.

The paladins also quickly drew their weapons and looked at the door in front of them with vigilance - it was obvious that the visitor was evil.

"Good evening everyone, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhan slowly walked into the temple. He wore a strange silver-white mask and let out an unsettling evil laugh. The black staff in his hand and the robe made him look like he came from

The God of Death walked out of the darkness. Just looking at this dark figure made many refugees shut their mouths in fear. They opened their eyes wide and hugged their families tightly, as if they were thrown onto the river bank.

Like a drowning fish.

"Who are you! Why did you attack the temple!!"

Bishop Lane strode forward. He stared at Zhan and shouted. He clenched the Holy Emblem in his hand tightly and felt the warm divine power coming from it. His originally frightened heart suddenly became much calmer.

"I'm just a passer-by, Lord Bishop."

Faced with Ryan's question, Zhan nodded gracefully towards him.

"In fact, I am here just to invite you to a banquet... Don't worry, you will only feel the pain at the beginning. After you enjoy the taste of death, you will completely fall in love with it... And

I’m just here to see you off on your way..."

"Necromancer!"

Hearing Zhan En's words, everyone's expressions suddenly changed. And almost at the same time, a loud shout suddenly sounded.

"Go to hell!"

Golden light cut through the darkness, and the paladin in armor raised the long sword in his hand, and the sword roared to form an extremely dazzling beam of light, which pierced Zhan's chest straight in front of him. At that moment, he seemed to have no one.

It was able to block the roaring sacred power attached to the long sword, causing the originally silver-white sword edge to exude a powerful and heavy aura.

Just as soon as he opened and closed his eyes, the paladin, whose whole body was wrapped in the power of divine grace, had already arrived in front of Zhan En. Then he only had to turn his wrist forward, and the long sword full of holy power could be used.

It easily penetrated the chest of the black-robed mage in front of him. But when the paladin looked into Zhan's eyes, he realized that what was revealed in his eyes was neither fear nor despair.

But mocking.

“————!!”

Thunder fell from the sky, smashing the dome of the temple like a giant hammer, and heavily bombarded the body of the Paladin. The originally violent explosion of sacred power was instantly wiped out by the lightning strike, and everyone could even clearly see the dazzling golden light.

How it was torn and shattered like tissue paper by thunder and lightning, just like a burning flame being extinguished by cold water.

"The master's peak is quite interesting."

It was only then that Zhan reached out his hand and gently patted the dust on his robe.

"Unfortunately, it's still too far behind."

Then, he waved his hand casually.

The next moment, the scorching flames spiraled and erupted, forming dozens of fire snakes that rotated and wrapped the Paladin in them. In just a moment, in front of everyone, the originally tall and tough Paladin had turned into a pile of pitch black.

The ashes were scattered by the violent wind and rain.

"Lord Knight John!!"

Seeing this scene, many Paladins screamed in surprise. They had no idea that the Paladin Captain would be so vulnerable. He was killed instantly without even catching a single move from the opponent. At this moment, these Paladins were also furious.

, and soon, several more Paladins shouted and rushed out from the crowd, waving their swords and attacking Zhan En.

But for Zhan, there is no need to do anything with these residues.

“Ding ding ding!!”

The sharp blade in the darkness came unexpectedly and blocked the sword edge swung by the paladin. The alien emerged from the darkness silently and stood in front of Zhan En.

"This is……………"

With the appearance of the aliens, the atmosphere in the entire temple changed. Although no one knew what they were, their terrifying appearance would make people uneasy and fearful just by looking at them. And those refugees

He even trembled and collapsed on the ground, looking at those dark figures unable to even stand up.

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhan En smiled slightly, then he raised his hands and made an invitation gesture.

"Then let's go on our way... I wish you a safe journey."
