Chapter 359

Before the snowstorm at night, the Legion soldiers finally built a simple temporary camp - without enough wood, they built a temporary fence with snow and ice water, randomly found some dry branches to set up tents, and hurriedly did not forget to build several campfires for heating.

The battle is over.

The black haired wizard nestled next to a campfire overlooks the battlefield not far away. The Legion soldiers have returned to the barracks one after another. Only the soldiers of the church continue to clean the battlefield and collect the robes' bones... Or fragments.

But Loren saw more than that.

When he was in lottel, he had dealt with priests countless times; In ancient wood forest and eboden, he felt their fear of the "Holy Cross" from Asriel's words; In the nine awn star wizard tower, he can feel the deep fear of wizards for the power of the Church

Although various signs show that the power of the Holy Cross is extremely terrible, for the Holy Cross Church... Loren only regards it as a powerful and well capitalized religious organization, which is no different from the powerful and well capitalized church organizations in his previous life.

I didn't think about it at all. If I didn't show real "miracles", if I didn't have enough power to defend their status or prove the existence of the Holy Cross, why did the Holy Cross Church become the only belief in the Empire, and let the deep-rooted devil Asriel die so that almost no one knows their existence?!

The oath knight is the "power" of the Holy Cross.

Loren had seen it once in the battle between melting pot and the guard knight, and this time it was the second time.

Just by "praying", they can recover from their injuries, block the curse, and even fight bravely - this kind of "unreasonable" power is completely beyond the imagination of the black haired wizard, and even feel seriously unimaginable.

Just relying on the so-called "power of oath", seven church knights can lead more than 100 light infantry to resist four times their ice werewolves. After the fierce battle, they still have the spare strength to break through and join the reinforcements.

Is there anything more incredible than that?!

Of course, the church knights who get this power are not without cost - the "sword of oath" needs to give up their identity forever, and the "shield of defense" needs to stick to the North all their lives and pay sacrifices.

Therefore, it is more like an "identity" and a "yoke" than power; Imprison these church knights who have gained strength, so that they must wholeheartedly complete the "mission delivered by the Holy Cross" all their life.

However, there is no doubt that this is still a powerful force, and more powerful than any high-level magic spell or alchemy - Magic always comes at a price, and the "oath" is not needed.

In other words, the firmness of their own beliefs determines their strength, so how to judge whether their beliefs are firm? Or

"Lord Loren Turin!"

The sound like a bell sounded behind him, and the black haired wizard didn't have to look back to know who it was; Without asking his opinion, the heavy faced church Knight nazer sat directly beside him.

Pretending to be surprised, Loren looked at the chief knight with the rest of his eyes - at the end of the battle, he saw nazer with injuries, waist, chest, shoulder blades and face, all of which were deep visible bones. A little deviation was enough to cause fatal injuries, and now

Intact.

"You came in time. We were almost wiped out." nazer stared at the church knight who was still cleaning the battlefield in the distance and slowly said, "did you let his highness Brandon go immediately because you spoke to him?"

"No, the rangers who delivered your letter arrived in time."

Lauren replied without expression and glanced at him calmly: "as for the person who let us march north, it's you - we can't risk destroying half of the army."

"Your rash action without considering the consequences leaves us no choice!"

Nazer frowned, but then he sighed again:

"You know... I didn't believe you at the beginning - even if it was his highness connord's order, I still regarded it as a mistake."

"Then we paid the price."

"It was an accident, no one could guess." Lauren said faintly, "and the soldiers of the Holy Cross are really brave, otherwise they can't hold on until we come."

"I know it may be very inappropriate to say so... But without their sacrifice, we can't sit calmly in front of each other, understand each other, and let us really cooperate, rather than fighting each other and constantly making trouble for each other!"

"Let me repeat, Lord nazer, we are not here to make trouble for you; our only purpose in the north is to solve this invasion that will threaten the safety of the Empire at any time!"

"It is very inappropriate for you to say so, your excellency Loren Turin!"

Raising his head, nazer looked gloomy and stared coldly at the black haired wizard in front of him: "but at least you are right - for the faith of the Holy Cross and the safety of the Empire, we must abandon the contradictions and suspicions of both sides and really work together; even... Even if we still hate each other."

Lauren's face showed a sincere smile.

Believe in these crazy believers? That's impossible... Especially if there's a good chance there's a time bomb buried among them.

For the faith of the Holy Cross and the safety of the Empire, they can choose to cooperate with themselves and Brandon; Then for the same reason, they won't hesitate for a moment or even have the slightest pity when they hurt the killer.

In other words, for the faith of the Holy Cross and the safety of the Empire

The Holy Cross is always ahead.

"That's right, Lord nazer." with a formulaic smile on his mouth, Loren actively extended his right hand: "I assure you that from today on, I will listen to your suggestions as much as possible and try to persuade his highness Brandon not to embarrass you any more."

"Persuade your highness Brandon?"

The church Knight's eyes flashed a trace of uncertainty, so he shook his head: "no one can persuade a descendant of the desalion family except themselves. It's their nature."

"Only one thing, you must convince his highness Brandon that our Holy Cross Church is not his brother's running dog, and the fortress of duanjie mountain is not his brother's territory; we fight for crown prince Conrad because he is loyal to the Holy Cross and the Empire. And he did gamble everything to protect the Empire!"

"So I want you to tell your highness Brandon that if he can firmly defend our faith and this hard won, powerful and fragile Empire, the Holy Cross will never mind handing over our loyalty to him!"

Standing up slowly, Naze indifferently pointed to the scorched earth stained with blood:

"If you can do this, their sacrifice will not be wasted!"

In a moment of peace, some bright flames burst out of the campfire, like the shape of the Holy Cross.

The black haired wizard who raised his head still stared at each other with his calm black pupils: "I will do my best."

"I hope so."

The turned church Knight suddenly turned back: "and... Your guard, the illegitimate son of the Welz family, the boy named Lucian."

"He really doesn't look like a deserter, nor is he a deserter - when he returns to duanjieshan fortress, I will guarantee this for him as your witness, and let his highness connord restore his legion position and promote him; he deserves these. Duanjieshan fortress needs a soldier like him!"

"There is no disrespect for you, but such a good soldier should not only be a wizard's escort."

"Thank you for your kindness, but Lucian no longer needs to prove anything." Loren replied calmly: "he decided to leave the fortress of duanjie mountain and never come back."

"Well, what a pity."

When the dark haired wizard looked up again, nazer had turned away and walked to the bloody battlefield without looking back, leaving only an extremely lonely figure in the night
