In the rugged and difficult dark mountains, Bishop Lemont ran all the way at the fastest speed.

He tore off the hem of his robe and threw away the Bishop's crown that was particularly hindering in the mountains and forests. The gorgeous cane representing the authority of the Holy See was also regarded as a crutch by him. He used it to open the roads on the rugged mountain roads and grasp the balance. He felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. The huge sense of frustration and shame made him angry, but he did not dare to release the anger at all. The pressure brought by the magic of rising, desperately powerful and despairing chaos still clutched his heart tightly.

He ran to the depths of the mountains and forests and to a place where he could no longer see the battlefield, so he dared to stop and look back at the road he had done.

Even if he couldn't see it, he knew that the Holy See knights should have died, even if they were not killed by the incredibly powerful energy creature, they must have died in the burning holy light. Bishop Lemont, who relied on sacrifice to escape from the sky, had no guilt at this moment, because he believed that everything he did was for greater justice: the meaning of the Holy See knights was to sacrifice their lives for the Lord, and a regional bishop was the basis for ensuring the survival and development of the church's power, and using the former to ensure the safety of the latter was a matter of course.

After a while of gasping violently, Bishop Lemont finally took a little breath. He raised his head and looked at the dark mountain road surrounded by strange trees and strange trees in the mountains. The expression on his face suddenly became confused.

Why did he run away? Why was he so scared? Why did he act so unbearable?

Lemont was confused, and suddenly realized something was wrong with his mental state in a huge confusion.

He is indeed a person who cherishes his life, and among all the regional bishops of the Holy Light Church, he is a relatively low-capacity and poor personal strength. However, he is also a regional bishop. Even if he encounters an extremely dangerous situation, he has to retreat, he will never be so embarrassed, and will not run wildly because of fear, like a stray dog!

Bishop Lemont suddenly held the scepter in his hand, and a layer of fine beads of sweat penetrated from his forehead. He realized that his thoughts might have been affected by external factors. Something, something that could not be resisted by the barrier of the holy light, entered his brain, amplified some of his personality weaknesses, made him completely lose his judgment on the battlefield and led to him facing today's failure with almost no means of doing what he did.

Otherwise, even with his strength, even if he still cannot fight against the terrifying energy creature on the city wall, he can at least cover some of the Holy See knights to retreat, at least he can be so embarrassed and so tragic!

"Come out!" Bishop Lemont suddenly shouted loudly, one after another of the holy lights enveloped him, enhancing his resistance to various magical effects, but even so, he did not feel any sense of security. He could only increase his confidence by shouting loudly, even if he knew clearly that this abnormal behavior of shouting was a proof of his disturbance of consciousness, "From my mind! I know your existence! Come out!"

He shouted like this several times in a row, and only his own voice echoed in the mountain road. The old bishop couldn't help but start to doubt his judgment, but just when he was about to give up, a figure of a woman suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a woman wearing a robe with a purple edge on white background and holding a lantern in her hand. Her robe explained her identity: a goddess, and most likely a high-level priest. However, the style of the robe was different from any orthodox religion on the mainland. Lemont judged it for a long time with his religious knowledge before he vaguely realized that the robe might be the style of the Church of the Eternal Sleeper seven hundred years ago.

The goddess holding a lantern had a gentle and quiet smile on her face. The smile that made people couldn't help but think of "motherhood" seemed to have some kind of power to relieve her mind. Even though Lemont was already with the greatest vigilance, he almost relaxed the moment he saw the other person smile. Fortunately, at the last moment, he bit his tongue and used pain to ensure his ability to think freely.

He knew that the woman in front of him was not really standing there. He could see some turbulent and illusory outlines from the edge of the lifelike figure. He knew that all he saw was an illusion. An illusion located in his mind, projected in his vision. No one except himself could hear or see this woman with a lantern.

In the eyes of others, he might have just looked at the open space on the mountain road with a vigilant face.

"Who are you?!" Bishop Lemont held the scepter tightly and tried to calm his expression, although he knew that he had no initiative at all now. An opponent who could directly implant such a clear vision into his mind was no longer a force that he could resist, almost as unrestrained as the violent energy creature on the wall of Cecil. He did not even expect the "woman" in front of him to respond to him.

But the woman spoke, her voice as gentle and quiet as her face: "Biss Lemont, I'm glad to see you survive."

"Who are you?" Bishop Lemont repeated his question again, "What do you want to do?"

"Senior Bishop of the Eternal Sleeper, Selena Gel, I hope I didn't scare you." The woman said with a smile.

"Sleeper?!" Bishop Lemont was shocked, "What do you...you cultists want to do!?"

"There are not many opportunities to 'capture' a high-ranking priest," Selena Gerfen seemed to answer Lemont's question patiently, but her reply was obviously not what the latter wanted to hear. "It took us a long time to plant seeds among the bishop-level members of the Church of the Holy Light, but your performance disappointed us. You foolishly challenged the extraterritorial wanderers and the power he built, so we had to take action in advance and 'rescue' you before you completely lose your value..."

"Source..." Bishop Lemont was furious and suddenly realized something, "You have been tampering in my mind long ago?! What do you want to do?!"

"There were many plans, but now your value is not enough, and we can only use it for the best of our own," Selena Gerfen sighed softly, slowly walking towards Bishop Lemont with a terrified face. "Mr. Bishop, borrow your brain, we need to see your God...the changes over these seven hundred years."

...

The constant explosions from the south of the city finally ended, and this was the end of all the battles this day.

Gao Wen glanced at the Trailblazer Sword that was placed at his hand. The long sword was quietly leaning on the table. It did not play in the battle today.

The enemy's strength was worse than he expected, so he didn't need to come forward to save the entire battle.

Hetty pushed the door and walked into the room: "Ancestor, the invading enemy of the South City Wall has been wiped out. Except for one person who escaped, the attacker was wiped out and the army was wiped out. Except for the temporary energy interruption in two blocks in the South City District, we have no damage."

"Very good. It seems that Carmier can get the experimental data he wants," Gao Wen already knew the situation on the battlefield, but after hearing Herty's report, he nodded, "In this way, the direction of this war will basically not change."

"I still can't believe...we won like this..." Hetty still had an incredible look on her face. She had received information from the northern and western fronts. This should have been a huge and difficult war that laid the victory in such a short time. This was beyond her imagination. Even though Gao Wen had shown full confidence in the victory of the war before, she always thought that it was the ancestor who was calming the people. And at this moment she still had a question that she had not figured out, "Ancestor, actually I have a question... How did you know that those Holy See knights would attack from the southern wall?"

Of course, it was seen using the magical environment imaging of satellites, but this cannot be said directly.

Gao Wen touched his chin and said with an expression of "The situation is within the control of your ancestors": "Excluding the north and west directions, if anyone wants to raid us, they can choose the mine route in the east and the dark mountains mine in the south. It is not a good choice, because once they attack from there and fail to take down the entire mine town as soon as possible, then the main city of Cecil will be alarmed and they will lose the advantage of the raid, so they will definitely choose the dark mountains."

Goven paused and continued: "The Dark Mountains are very close to the South City Wall, and the terrain is complex and convenient for concealment. Even if there are sentry patrols, high-level extraordinary people can rely on the terrain to lurk very close to the city wall. There is a more important point: the main attack direction of Count Hosman's army is the north of Cecil's leadership. In this case, raiding from the other side is the normal plan."

Hetty was convinced by Gao Wen's analysis and no longer had any other questions. He said with a hint of worry: "Oncestor, I am very worried about the escaped enemy. If the information is correct, it is very likely that the regional bishop of the southern diocese of the Holy Light Church. Although the Holy Light Church has weak influence in the southern border, it is still very powerful. Their regional bishop now leads the Holy See knights to directly attack Cecil's territory in the name of fighting against evil. This is no longer as simple as assisting the noble war, but it is equivalent to declaring war on the front. Now the bishop has escaped... I don't know how much trouble he will cause."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at Hetty with amusing interest: "If it were you in the past, the first thing you were worried about at this time is that we would have the adverse effect of starting a war with the southern diocese of the Holy Light Church, but now your attention seems to be no longer entangled in such matters."

After being reminded by Gao Wen, Hetty also realized the change in his way of thinking. The lady who was worried about the Cecil family all day long couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know how this change will happen. By the time I reacted, we had even started a war with all the nobles in the entire southern territory... I'm still worried about what the Southern Diocese is doing?"

Gao Wen smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, before the war begins, I will send Salderin to lead an elite squad to stand by in the dark mountains. They should... at this time..."
