Path of Light.

Chapter 707: Battle of the North Fjord

In the camp of the Knights Templar, a group of priests of the Knights Templar gathered in the pergola, quietly listening to Master Du Casse reciting prayers from a book.

In addition to these prayers, Captain Dicas was also explaining to the priests the magical uses of the divine runes...

Captain Dicas was most proficient in blessing-related divine arts. His eyes fell on a corner of the shed where Alice was sitting quietly, holding a parchment notebook in her arms. No matter what Captain Dicas said, she tried her best to record it in the notebook.

Captain Di Casse pondered for a moment. Although the priests in the Knights Templar had heard this knowledge countless times, he always had to repeat it every time he explained the divine arts.

"There are six most common blessing spells: Blessing of Protection, Blessing of Strength, Blessing of Kings, Blessing of Wisdom, Blessing of Light, and Blessing of Freedom. As long as we learn these six spells and master two of them, we can become a qualified priest."

Captain Dicas slowed down his tone so that Alice could remember everything.

Alice held a quill pen in her hand and an ink bottle on the mat at her feet. She tied her hair up and used a brand new quill pen as a hairpin in her golden hair.

She listened very carefully, and her whole body was emitting the aura of holy light, but she was completely unaware...

……

Just three weeks ago, Captain Jelloin saw Leah and Alice scattering on the beach of Sun Island Bay...

They knew each other in the dark land.

Now they met again in the Sun Island Bay of the Partington plane, so they started chatting on the beach. Captain Jeroin also invited Leah and Alice to visit their newly built camp in the woods by the sea.

Leah and Alice readily agreed and followed Captain Jeroin to the camp of the Knights Templar.

In the camp, many priests were sitting under a shed. Alice soon heard someone chanting a prayer...

So Alice and Leah also came over.

It happened that Captain Flint was discussing the Holy Light Technique with a group of priests at that time. The priests came to the Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane, but they could not feel the response from the Statue of Liberty, and many problems such as the slow recovery of the Holy Light Power still troubled them.

But the situation here is much better than in the Dark Land...

The priests of the Knights Templar discovered that even if they did nothing, the power of Holy Light was slowly recovering, but the speed of recovery was very slow...

So Captain Flint has recently been studying how to consume the least amount of Holy Light power to complete those healing spells.

Captain Jeroin brought Leah and Alice to the camp of the Knights Templar. When Alice heard Captain Flint talking about the healing magic, she stopped and stood outside the pavilion, listening quietly.

"Why, Miss Alice, are you interested in healing magic?" Captain Jeroin asked while standing aside.

Alice nodded slightly...

"You can sit down in the pavilion and listen slowly. I'll take Miss Leah for a walk!" Captain Jeroin said to Alice.

Seeing Alice's eyes full of anticipation, Leah patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear:
"Then you stay here and listen to Captain Flint's lecture. I will come back to find you later..."

"Well!"

When Alice heard Leah say this, she immediately agreed.

As Leah and Captain Jeroin walked into the camp, Alice sat down in a corner of the pavilion and listened quietly to Captain Flint's talk about healing magic.

Alice listened carefully to Captain Flint's patient explanation while silently controlling the power of the Holy Light in her body and practicing secretly...

Wisps of holy light surrounded her and slowly gathered into a vortex of holy light.

Alice certainly didn't think there was anything special about this vortex of holy light, because ever since she came into contact with divine arts, such vortexes of holy light would always gather around her body.

But the vortex of holy light on Alice's body was like nectar to the priests of the Temple Knights who were crowded in the pavilion...

Because the priests crowded in the pergola suddenly discovered that the power of holy light in their bodies was recovering rapidly. The priests were so excited that they couldn't express it in words. At the same time, they couldn't understand what was going on. Could it be that the devout prayers to the goddess were finally answered?

After this happened, even Captain Flint, who was explaining the healing arts, could not contain his excitement and began to pray devoutly impatiently.

Alice only listened for a while before she saw Captain Flint hurriedly finish his explanation of the Holy Light Technique.

The priests in the pavilion began to pray...

Alice felt unsatisfied after listening to the lecture, and when she saw that the explanation about healing magic had stopped, she tiptoed out of the pavilion.

In the camp, they found Leia who was discussing the Dark Faceless Legion with Captain Jeroin. The two sisters wandered around the camp and then left the Templar camp and returned to their temporary residence at the Sun Island Port Pier.

……

But after Alice left the pavilion, the priests who were praying in the pavilion suddenly discovered that the holy light around them suddenly became thinner...

Their holy light recovery speed also slowed down significantly.

Even Captain Flint opened his eyes with a puzzled look on his face, and the rich holy light that had just filled the shed was gone.

The priests gathered together to discuss what had just happened. Why did the holy light suddenly become stronger? Unfortunately, the good times were so short-lived. Before anyone could taste the goodness, the holy light disappeared...

A group of priests speculated on countless possibilities, and finally a priest proposed one possibility:
'Could it be that Miss Alice came to the pavilion to attend the class and accidentally triggered some kind of divine effect?'

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, everyone should try it out...

So the next day, Captain Jeroin once again warmly invited Miss Alice to visit the Templar Knights camp.

Alice did not reject the invitation from Captain Jeroin, because she wanted to find an opportunity to learn some new divine arts...

Then the priests of the Knights Templar discovered something very magical. As long as Alice was in the camp, the priests' recovery speed of the power of Holy Light would increase, but their prayers were of no use.

The priests' holy light power recovered at a normal speed, all because of Miss Alice's arrival...

For this reason, the three leaders, Jeroin, Flint and Dicas, gathered together to discuss this matter. The three leaders agreed that Alice might be a divine messenger who was stranded in the dark land. The so-called divine messenger is a believer with a sacred mark in his body...

Just like that, the attitude of the priests in the Knights Templar towards Alice suddenly changed drastically, and everyone became extremely respectful to her.

Alice could also clearly feel that all the priests in the Knights Templar camp had become very respectful to her.

During this period, she would sit with a group of priests in the camp of the Knights Templar every day and listen to the three leaders take turns explaining the divine arts.

Alice actually discovered that when she was listening to the captains explaining the divine arts, the holy light particles around her gathered and dispersed very quickly.

Moreover, the range of the holy light particles is infinitely increased, and the huge vortex can even cover the entire pavilion.

Alice thought that this should be related to the priests in the Knights Templar. With so many priests gathered together, practicing magic would be more efficient. So she often went to the Knights Templar to learn magic recently.

Even Roy said that she has changed a lot recently...

……

Roy has been really busy these days.

As the Dark Faceless Army continued to digest the territory in the western waters, the Faceless Men could occasionally be seen in the sea off the coast of Sun Island Bay.

The large amount of ink sprayed by the Faceless Men has dyed the clear blue waters of the western sea area into light black, and this black water is constantly spreading towards the open sea of ​​Sun Island Bay.

Although they have not had any contact with the Dark Faceless Legion since returning from the western seas, the strong sense of oppression they brought made the half-elves in the port and the town very nervous, and the atmosphere in the town has become very depressing in the past few days.

Everyone is worried that the dark faceless army will come and raze the elf town on the edge of the Sun Island Bay to the ground like a rotten wood...

Recently, magic airships have arrived at Sun Island Bay almost every day. These magic airships have brought a large amount of military supplies, including a batch of whaling crossbows that Roy applied for from the military. The outposts, which have been completely completed, have begun to install these whaling crossbows.

While the Dark Faceless Legion was continuously digesting the occupied territory in the western waters, Jie Zena was also rescuing and receiving nearly a thousand defeated and fleeing Siren warriors on the edge of the western waters.

She brought these sirens to the Sun Island, and Roy arranged for the priests of the Knights Templar to treat them.

Regarding this, Captain Jeroin has always been very cooperative.

The Griffin Riders finally found traces of the Dark Faceless Exploration Team in the outer waters of the Sun Island Bay. Roy did not expect them to reach the Sun Island Bay so quickly. However, although the Dark Faceless Warriors discovered this sea area, they did not invade immediately.

Jie Zena told Roy that the war in the North Fjord in the western sea area has not yet ended, and the battle there has taken up a lot of the Dark Faceless Legion's energy...

Commander Alcesar led the Siren Legion to resist the attack of the Faceless Legion in the North Fjord.

Although they were defeated by the Dark Faceless Army, they were never swallowed up by the Dark Faceless Army...

In fact, in places that Jie Zena could not detect, there were other Siren Legions resisting the Faceless Legion.

These siren legions retreated to the edge of the sea and, using the complex terrain around the beach, engaged in a tug-of-war with the Dark Faceless Warriors. It was these siren legions that continued to fight with the Dark Faceless Legion in the western waters, thus giving Roy ample time to rest and prepare for battle.

The only thing that made Roy feel a little regretful was that these siren armies did not want to fight together with the elves.

However, the Sirens would not refuse the elves' help in terms of supplies, including weapons and some military supplies. Roy had sent the Griffin Cavalry Regiment to various battlefields in the western waters several times to provide some support to the Sirens Corps.

In fact, Roy hopes that the Silver Moon Kingdom can intervene in the war here.

But the entire Partington plane belongs to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, and the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has absolute say in the Partington plane.

Therefore, if you want to invite other Silver Moon Elf legions to enter the Partington plane, without enough benefits, the Silver Moon Elves will definitely not be willing to come here.

What's more, the current situation in the Partington plane is very special...

Currently, all cities and towns in the Partington plane are crowded with half-elves, and the Silver Moon elves are even less willing to solve the troubles here.

Some Silver Moon elves even loudly proposed in Buenos Aires: "Since the half-blood elves on the Partington plane have proposed equality and freedom, then the affairs on the Partington plane should be resolved by the half-blood elves themselves."

Some Silver Moon elves also proposed: "It is recommended that the military abandon the Partington plane and cut off the portal to the Partington plane to prevent the Partington plane from being invaded by the Dark Army and those dark faceless people from rushing into the Elf Continent through the portal."

In fact, these ideas still have many supporters in Buenos Aires.

Roy also thought about asking for help from Earl Swinburne, hoping that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion could support the battlefield in Sun Island Bay.

However, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is currently overwhelmed in the Queen Ewenni Islands. The main force of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is near the Queen Island, in a stalemate and testing with the returning gray dwarf bandits.

It just so happens that a long section of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom's coastline is also garrisoned by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

In addition, part of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is stationed in Golfito Canyon...

Therefore, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is currently somewhat overwhelmed and can hardly provide Roy with any help except for some material support.

This part of the material support was also exchanged by Roy for boxes of magic crystals.

This was the agreement he had made with Earl Swinburne. He only needed to hand over half of the output of the mine on the Pagisto Plateau to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, and Roy could use the rest of the wealth as he pleased...

Currently, Roy is using this money to purchase a large amount of military supplies from the Elf Continent.

When the Griffin Cavalry Transport Team arrived at the North Fjord for the fifth time, they saw from afar the bodies of the Dark Faceless Warriors emerging from the sea. Each Dark Faceless Warrior was more than 20 meters apart. They lined up in a long line and walked towards the fjord...

Looking down at the North Fjord from a high place, there were at least a thousand Dark Faceless Ones forming a long line and entering the maze-like fjord waterway.

Perhaps it was low tide at this time, and these faceless warriors could not hide in the waterway...

Suddenly, countless siren warriors rushed out from the dense forests on the mountains on both sides of the fjord waterway. These siren warriors held elven longbows in their hands, stood on the shore and shot countless arrows at the dark faceless men in the waterway...
