Chapter 64 The Approaching Nightmare, Prelude

For the people of the United Kingdom, this was a day they would never forget. Because on this day, a team of fast-paced knights rushed back to the royal city from the front line, and the news they brought back shocked the entire United Kingdom.

The Scourge is starting to act!!

People have always been worried and afraid. After all, although the previous major disaster caused considerable losses to the United Kingdom, the other party may not necessarily be like this. After all, they are human soldiers on their side. They have to eat, rest and maintain weapons. But the other party is an undead legion. They do not need rest, nor do they need food, and even weapons. The difference between the two is too big. If the Scourge Legion attacks at this moment, then the United Kingdom will definitely not be able to withstand, let alone the annihilation and siege battle has completely dispelled the morale of humanity. They dare not have a head-on conflict with the Immortal Legion again, not to mention that now, even those priests and paladins have lost their help!!

Without the protection of divine power, what curtains do they use to defeat the Scourge? In this situation, even if the other party has a slightly tiny milligram of brain, they will never miss this great opportunity. Since they can imagine it, the magic empire can also imagine it! Therefore, the entire United Kingdom has always lived in fear, which is why they gave up large tracts of land and walls and turned to Catherine. Not only because of disaster and thinness, since those magical techniques are no longer used, the only one who can save and protect themselves is this saint angel.

Although the Scourge did not immediately move in, the news still terrified the United Kingdom, and at this moment, Catherine also made a decision.

In the direction of the royal city, she set up wave-shaped protective lines after wave, and almost all elite soldiers were transferred to them to protect them. The powerless civilians, except for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, all joined the army and became reserves. If you can't fight, then do logistics! If you can't move things, then do clerks! If you don't know words, you can also be a guardian! In short, no matter what you did before, you must serve the army now.

Although Catherine's order was arrogant, the residents of the United Kingdom who were already shocked did not have so much time to think about it. They had had enough of a frightened life. They urgently needed the power to protect themselves, or in other words, the current situation made them unable to think about those things anymore. Many people took the initiative to join the army, and those who did not want to join were also forced to join the army, because Catherine's order was simple. In this moment of life and death, no one could survive alone. If they were unwilling to work hard to defeat the magic empire, then please leave here.

Everyone knows what will happen after leaving here and after leaving Catherine's holy light.

Of course, the Scourge did not really attack, or it has not been so far, or because the scouts ahead were so lucky that they would find traces left by the other party when they mobilized their troops, but no matter what, one thing would not change. The Magic Empire is ready to take action, and they may appear at any time! Then, the defenses arranged by Catherine were prepared for this.

Of course, there are still some doubts about this arrangement.

The royal city of Dadeas is in a very favorable military position. It is in front of it with a narrow mountainous area and a deep mountain range behind it. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Under Catherine's arrangement, all the civilians were moved to the rear of the royal city. In this way, they can not only be protected by the royal city, but once an accident occurs, these people can also go through the plains behind the royal city and then drill into the mountains to obtain a life. For example, the royal city is now like an old hen with wings, protecting its own chickens firmly behind it, and then establishing layers of obstacles in front of it to prevent the other party from playing the game of "Eagle Catching Chicken" with themselves.

However, not everyone agrees with Catherine's plan. Indeed, this wave-like defensive front will play a considerable role in consuming the enemy's living power. But one thing to be clear is that the opponent is not a human, but an undead legion, and they have no casualties. Moreover, now those paladins have lost the protection of their divine power, and they cannot cause large-scale damage to those monsters.

To put it bluntly, these barriers are just adding soldiers to the other party and have no effect at all. Besides, the morale of the army is now disintegrating and even the magical arts have failed, so the comfort of the priests has no effect. After the battle, they will return to the embrace of the gods. Well, what about the gods? You Ran is using a few magical arts for me to see.

But Katherine just insisted on one sentence about these suspicions.

“We will have a solution.”

As for what the solution was, she kept avoiding talking. Although this attitude made the generals very angry, they were helpless. They also knew very well that they would have to use the power of the saint to end the war. So they could only endure it and look at what the so-called "method" was. In the end, they got the answer.

Shortly after the defense line was built, those priests who had lost their magic skills in the previous earthquake suddenly could use magic skills again! This news immediately gave everyone a lot of confidence, but in fact, they were even full of confidence to see. At the critical moment of life and death in humans, our gods did not abandon us, but he still gave us strength to fight against evil!

For a time, the people and the military immediately stabilized. Not only that, many people even applied to join the temple to become real paladins. At this time, the temple did not take into account the traditions and qualifications of the past. As long as he could use divine power, he could join the Paladins! The God of Justice seemed to have also agreed to this decision. In a very short time, the number of Paladins, which were not too many, had increased by more than ten times!! Almost all cavalry and 80% of infantry were able to use... One... One fight ten, they could also get the blessing of the gods and their cars could release the same power. The ten states were equally powerful!

Of course, these forces need to be practiced to ensure that they can use them better.

Such a situation is naturally regarded by the people as the God of Justice against evil, and the influence of the temple becomes increasingly huge.

Of course, this attracted Catherine's attention. After all, the "there will be a way" she said before was just a procrastination. She did not expect that the God of Justice would appear again at such a critical moment and exert her power so unscrupulously. Fortunately, this god seemed very busy. He just gave his believers the divine power and went to work on other things. This finally relieved Catherine a lot. However, not everything made her so relieved. At least, there was one person who did not feel relieved.

That's Heidson.

Since Mobius was defeated in the elves, Hederson has completely disappeared. Although Catherine has activated a considerable range of forces to find him, he cannot know where he is going. For Catherine, Hederson's threat alone is enough to catch up with a Paladin legion. He is not only the Great Knight recognized by the Temple, but also a crazy believer. He even dares to face the words of the Great Angela and speaks wildly. Such a person has completely surpassed the realm of humanity and is simply a madman.

And madman is the most difficult to deal with.

Catherine couldn't tell whether the other party had seen through her, or to what extent she had seen through her. After all, before Catherine served Li Lin, she also had conflicts with the Great Knight. Catherine tried to use the influence of the royal family to manipulate the church, while Hederson believed that all countries and people in the world must serve the church unconditionally, so the two had always been in private. If Hederson knew that he had betrayed the gods, Catherine was sure that he would kill herself without hesitation, and he was desperate.

Katherine's current strength is no longer comparable to her back then. Katherine used to have only a little magic to protect herself and perform miracles. However, after being transformed into Archangel by Li Lin, she already has the power of a high-level mage, similar to instant movement, teleportation, protection and even some aggressive magic. Katherine can master it in a very short time, so even if she fights again, she is not worried.

Moreover, I now have Naru as the leader of the Seven Sages God Messenger, and there are many of the divine arts she has that have powerful attack power.

But in this way, something will inevitably happen. After all, although Hederson's reputation has plummeted under Catherine's instruction, he is still the Great Knight Captain! This position is not a position that Catherine can touch. Because the Great Knight Captain is a military position, and even if Catherine becomes very powerful now, she is still a type of magic. As for using a knife, gun, and hand and foot, it has never been her specialty. Besides, there is no precedent for the Saint to serve as the Great Knight Captain in the temple, so this is not feasible.

So, once Catherine and Hederson fight, she must give someone else one. The statement, even if Hederson says, no one will believe it. After all, there is no problem with her performance over the past few days. Saying that she is knowledgeable about the magic empire will only be regarded as nonsense. But rumors are rumors after all, and once they spread, it is not a good thing. Moreover, God knows whether the madman Hederson will get anything from the God of Justice. Last time, he found the savior and brought him and an archangel back to the temple. When he disappeared this time, God knows that he will bring something else to come back, so Catherine also ordered the temples in various places to watch it on the grounds that "the temple needs coordination". Once he finds the figure of the Great Knight of Hederson, he must report it immediately so that he can make early countermeasures.

As for the divine arts matter

Catherine remembered it very clearly. At the beginning, she was also very frightened. After all, after the calculation, Catherine panickedly discovered that according to this number, the total number of these so-called "Paladin Jihadists" is as large as 1.5 million to 2 million. Although many of them were just ordinary cavalry infantry before, there were even many characters who were originally blacksmiths, farmers, merchants and servants. I'm afraid she had never seen the body of Dalian before, but it was a serious holy power after all! There is no need to doubt the effect of holy power on undead creatures.

But when she reported this to her master, Li Lin looked calm and said casually, "If God wants it to perish, he will first make it crazy. This is the prelude to madness." He stopped asking more, as if the Paladins that were extra out of thin air were just farmers carrying hoes in the farmland, and were not included in the combat power. Since the master had already said that, then Catherine naturally couldn't say anything more.

However, excluding that uneasy madman, Catherine's plan went very smoothly.

"His Excellency Knight Mobius."

Looking at the handsome and elegant knight in front of her, Catherine not only did not feel any favor, but on the contrary, this made her mood very bad.

Looking at this handsome face, looking at his full spirit, looking at his pride and confidence, is it as useless as that guy? Catherine imagined the tragic appearance of the young man in front of her being pulled by Angel and being tragic under her feet, and being humiliated and ridiculed, while showing a gentle and holy smile.

"You're finally back."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so sacred and beautiful, respected Holy Majesty."

Mobius bent down deeply and performed a knightly manners to Catherine. After being relieved of his inner depression by Catherine, Mobius regained his spirits and went to the front line. He did not participate in the battle with the elves, but chose to monitor the undead creatures at the border and protect the land of the archery. Although most of the undead creatures had gathered, there were still some wandering undead creatures wandering around the border, while Mobius led hundreds of holy knights to patrol the border day and night to destroy the undead creatures. He gradually became stronger and firm. His system became smarter, and according to information, during the period when he had divine power, he also successfully eliminated a group of undead creatures!

The news that the Scourge began to act was also the first to come from him.

So, after Katherine thought about it, she sent him back to the capital with a transfer order, responsible for the guarding of the last and most critical line of defense.

And Catherine did this naturally had her deep meaning.

She had seen that although the young man in front of him became smarter and more determined, he was very loyal to himself. Catherine could realize that it was not the kind of respect that he worshiped the God of Justice in disguise like others like him. He was respecting and loyal to himself from the bottom of his heart. And this was exactly the effect that Catherine hoped. Of course, she could not use any love to seduce the other party, although it was not difficult for Catherine.

In fact, the other party is just a boy chicken that has never even been touched by a woman. He doesn't even need to sacrifice any color. As long as he is a little gentle and ambiguous to him, then this man will inevitably become his minister. So, what if he reveals his body in front of him? The purest and sacred woman in his impression suddenly teased him like a prostitute. "What would this upright, brave and pure sacred Knight look like?

but

Whenever Catherine thinks of this, she will always involuntarily sink her face.

The only one who is qualified to give is the master. What is this kid? It’s just a pawn. Why do I have to waste my expression and time on him?”

Mobius naturally would not love this saint, and even to him, this was almost a despise of His Highness. In Mobius's view, she was so sacred. A noble person could not tolerate a trace of defilement. How could he use the feelings of a mortal to influence her? However, as Catherine thought, Mobius had already swore in his heart to dedicate his life and soul to His Highness in front of him and protect her until the last moment. Therefore, after receiving Catherine's order, he immediately packed up his luggage and rushed back to the royal city with his subordinates.

"I think you have learned the latest appointment, Lord Knight Mobius."

With a gentle smile, Katherine reached out to invite the other party to sit down, and then spoke.

“Yes, His Holy Maiden

Mobius nodded immediately, and then he asked in confusion.

"Please forgive me for being rude, Your Highness, although I have no objection to your order, I still think "at this moment, I should go to the front line to kill the enemy! Completely eliminate the evil undead creatures!"

“Emotionally, I understand what you think

Catherine smiled, but shook her head.

"But, I'm sorry, I have to do that."

"Why?.

Hearing this, Mobius was stunned. However, although he has made rapid progress over the past few days, he still adhered to the Paladin's humble and cautious creed, so he did not refute immediately, but waited for Catherine to speak next.

"Please think about it, Lord Mobius, is our enemy the Scourge? Or the Magic Empire?"

"this"

Faced with the question raised by Catherine, Mobius was stunned. Is there any difference? Isn’t it the Scourge Legion controlled by the Magic Empire? So, what is the difference between destroying the Scourge Legion and destroying the Magic Empire?

“Of course there is a difference.

Although Mobius only expressed his doubts in a vague manner, Catherine still spoke.

"First of all, you have to figure out that there are only a group of undead creatures without brains and wisdom in the Scourge. Of course, in the previous wars, we also saw that they were not without command." But! They are just commanding! They cannot use magic or use powerful weapons. Do you think that the magic empire does only this? Indeed, we can destroy these poor undead people and give their souls eternal peace.

Sleep, but so what? We can destroy these undead creatures, and the evil magic empire can naturally be recreated. What we have to face is not just the Scourge, but our biggest enemy is the Magic empire, those evil mages who use magic. "Tell you frankly, Mobius, I think it is no problem to be able to withstand the Scourge in the current situation, but once the mages of the Magic empire fight, I am very worried whether these defenses can work!"

Hearing this, Mobius's face turned solemn!

“You mean

"Capture the thief first, and the other party cannot understand this truth. Mobius, you are not there on the front line. Just those knights who have received the blessing of the God of Justice are enough to fight against the Scourge. But what if the evil mage took the opportunity to attack us at that time? I am just a woman serving the gods. I do not have the powerful power of the mage to fight against their evil. Even if I can eliminate those evil undead creatures, I will not be able to withstand the attack of spells. And if there is no warrior to protect here and those people behind the city, even if we finally win, we will only reap the fruit called failure."

Catherine's eyes are full of worries and pain. No matter who sees it, she will never associate the saint in front of her with the magic empire. They would never expect that the saint has completely become a servant of the enemy.

"I understand what you mean."

Without waiting for Catherine to say anything more, Mobius stood up and knocked his chest heavily. With a firm, sincere, full of faith and hope, he looked at Catherine in front of him and spoke solemnly.

"I swear in my reputation that my respected Holy Majesty, I will protect this city and protect all the people here from evil persecution!"
