Outside the Dragon King City, somewhere in the glacier wasteland.

With the snow falling like white waves and falling into the glacier cracks, the tremor came one after another from the distance and echoed among the mountains.

In the snowstorm, there are tens of thousands of "gray" waves constantly "surging and rolling" among the snow mountains; Like a rotten substance, it devours and destroys the white snow mountain bit by bit.

"We may have to make a detour, Lord Francis."

The guard knight in a ragged smock wrapped in a cloak opened his mouth expressionless, narrowed his eyes into a slit and looked at the "gray wave" in the distance:

"The demons have blocked almost all the roads, and there is no traffic ahead!"

The indifferent looking fascist, holding the Scriptures in his hand, just looked at the shadow of the Dragon King City in the snowstorm. In addition to the pious silence, there was a trace of manic joy in his eyes in the cold wind.

The guard knight who silently observed all this frowned slightly. This was not the first time he saw that fascism deliberately suppressed his inner emotions.

On the day of eboden's sewer... What happened to Lord Francis?

"We can't make a detour." Francis closed his mouth slightly and pierced the skin of his palm, and finally controlled his mood temporarily: "since the apostles of the evil god have arrived first, we must not let them enter niederhogg ahead of us!"

"What's more, there are deep glacial cracks around niederhogg. Even if we detour, the result is the same. There is no so-called 'other way' except the 'road of redemption' that Rogan, the 'traitor' of that year, once walked through."

"Forced passage, there is no other way!"

"In that case, we have to face the demon army of the evil god and its apostles." the guard knight with complex eyes looked back and looked at the "corrupt things" in the distance again:

"Please forgive my subordinates for their offense, but in front of such a number of demons, even with the protection of the Holy Cross, even if you are not afraid of sacrifice and death..."

"We have no chance of winning --!"

The cold faced Francis looked back slightly. The figure standing in the snowstorm was covered with snowflakes, and the scars cut by ice crystals remained on his face:

"You are as honest and reliable as ever. I'm beginning to understand why Archbishop innocent gave you his majesty Brandon I's' bright star '- I'm very ashamed. As your master, I found this after the archbishop."

"You don't have to apologize to me."

"But this time, because we will fight for the Holy Cross. You are the only one who can wield a sword."

Francis's expression was extremely serious: "niederhogg is close at hand. We must not stop in this place because of fear of the power of evil gods."

"A despicable and shameful 'traitor' can complete this road of redemption, so as followers of the Holy Cross, we should complete it!"

The guard Knight did not speak, but nodded slightly and clenched the handle of the "bright star" sword.

"What's more, the Great Holy Cross has given me enlightenment." Francis silently opened his mouth and looked at the top of a collapsed snow mountain with sharp eyes:

"I already know who is the evil god Apostle who is blocking our way - for the glory of the Holy Cross, we will completely destroy these fanatics who violate our faith!"

Until this moment, the pupil of the guard Knight finally lit a fanatical flame.

Yes, fame, money, power, hatred, obsession, bet, price... The sword of the Holy Cross has never been waved for these.

The church knight who made the oath waved his sword only for the faith in his heart!

"Oath" is the power given by the Holy Cross to mankind to protect themselves. It is an unyielding wall in the collapse of the endangered world; Regardless of North and south, country and race

As long as you sincerely believe in the Holy Cross and the land is illuminated by the sun, you are the place where this power is guarded.

This is the sword of oath!

In the declining second generation of the Holy Cross Church, the church knights who made this oath went abroad and killed demons with their swords for people who had not yet been included in the arms of the Holy Cross; No one will remember their names, because they have already abandoned themselves and followed their faith wholeheartedly.

Fighting for faith is what you should do, and what a knight of "sword of oath" should do

At this time, a violent vibration suddenly interrupted the thinking of the guard knight; The alert two men looked up almost at the same time, looked in the direction of the tremor, and immediately widened their eyes.

Because the mountains... Are shaking -!

Thousands of rotten corpse demons roared like ice cracks, and the reverberating sound shook the whole glacier wasteland, like a surging flood rushing towards the snow mountain where they are!

The collapsed mountain path, the avalanche pouring down, the fragmented ice layer passing by countless demons and stepping down neatly... The violent and sharp sound is like thunder, and the constant tremor makes the two people on the top of the mountain unable to even stand at their feet.

"Lord Francis!"

The knight immediately stabbed the "bright star" deep into the ice at his feet, and then grabbed the left hand of Francis to stabilize their body shape.

Even at this moment, the guard knight can still keenly feel that Francis is deliberately avoiding his right hand

The iron faced fascist stared at a place on the cliff and seemed to have noticed what the sudden tremor was because of. His sharp eyes flashed a trace of ice cold.

The guard knight who had no time to attend to him was always vigilant to prevent the rotten corpses at the foot of the mountain from climbing to the top of the mountain.

But in just one second, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Because a "very familiar" figure has appeared in front of them.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, sir guard Knight - is there a little surprise to see me alive again?"

With a funny tone, Loren Turin, who appeared in the sight of the two people, drew a cold radian from the corners of his mouth and looked at the "impressive" figure meaningfully:

"And you... Lord Francis, you are not dead."

Under the scene of countless rotten corpse demons shouting and yelling, the three met "friendly" again.

"If you're right, those rotten demons were led by you, right, Lord Loren Turin."

Francis opened his mouth in an uncontrollable cold tone: "why, are you going to use the power of evil gods and apostles to get rid of us? You are really a model of a wizard with the style of unscrupulous means and regardless of cost!"

"How dare you?"

Loren said with a cold smile: "compared with the fascists who used Holy Blood potion to destroy half of the city and kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians, and finally released the body of the evil god, which almost caused great disaster, I'm still too young!"

The silent fascist flashed a killing opportunity in the corner of his eye, and the guard Knight pulled out the bright star; The atmosphere of crisis is already on the line!

"But risking being torn to pieces by the rotten corpse devil and being chased and killed two snow mountains, I came to you not specifically to provoke."

The black haired wizard's conversation turned and his smile gradually eased: "although I wonder why you are here, there is no doubt that you also want to enter the Dragon King City, right?"

"... so what?"

"It's no big deal. You can't find the exact route - because the clue left by Logan, the 'first Wizard', has been destroyed by me."

For a moment, it was difficult to see the extreme expression of Francis, and his tone was cold: "what do you want to do?"

"No, no, no... You're mistaken. I didn't destroy the clue to stop you, but to prevent the evil god apostle from finding the real entrance."

Seeing the guard Knight's sword parry, the alert black haired wizard stepped back slightly and put his hands behind his back: "anyway, compared with my worthless wizard, the apostle of the" dead man "should be your target?"

"It happens that for various reasons, he also wants to kill me very much now; as you can see, it even does not hesitate to mobilize the whole demon army to pursue me at any cost. Once I am caught, the secret of the entrance will not be kept!"

"So, I have a 'small' proposal..."
