Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 98 In the Name of God

The edge of the western forest.

Elizabeth, Antonio, and forty loyal old guards had just climbed over a small hill and were hiding in the woods, looking at the town ahead from afar.

It is the westernmost human settlement in the Magic Kingdom, far away from the center of the kingdom. The people of the capital believe that this is where the sun sets, so they call it Sunset Town.

The population is not large, only about three or four hundred people, and the whole town is now covered with heavy snow, giving it a fairy-tale look.

"Sunset Town is just ahead." Antonio whispered, "We once hurriedly passed by here when we were on the run 16 years ago. I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen still remembers it?"

Elizabeth tried hard to think, but failed. Her memory from when she was four years old was already vague, and it was even difficult for her to remember what her parents looked like.

Antonio: "This place is far from the center of the kingdom. Many people who have been ostracized by Ugumante are hiding here. These people may be easy to win over."

Elizabeth nodded, but there was a trace of worry in her brows: "My teacher, Ugumantai already knows that I am still alive. The last time we repelled the pursuit of the Black Knight and the Blackhearted Mage, Ugumantai will not give up. He should also send someone to watch over Sunset Town, a small town on the edge of the forest, right?"

Antonio nodded. "It's very possible! We need to be careful."

As soon as the two of them said this, they saw a thick black smoke rising from the center of the town...

Antonio frowned: "This is not cooking smoke, it's a big fire!"

Elizabeth was also slightly startled: "There's a fire in Sunset Town?"

Several guards jumped up and tried to run towards the town.

Antonio hurriedly said, "Don't go, scout first!"

After saying this, he chanted a magic spell, then raised his hand. A purple light flashed and condensed into a white owl.

"Go! My eyes."

Antonio's consciousness entered the owl's body, and the white owl flew low towards Sunset Town under the cover of snow.

The scene seen by the owl's eyes appeared in Antonio's eyes.

There are dead bodies everywhere in Sunset Town!
The streets were littered with dead bodies.

In the middle of the town, there was an army surrounding a huge campfire.

The fire had just been lit, with a dozen people hanging above it. A raging flame was burning from below, and black smoke was rising, smoking the people above like bacon.

Before the flames rose, the dozen or so people were not burned to death, but they were just feeling very uncomfortable from the smoke.

Someone shouted, "Mercy, mercy!"

Some people also cried loudly, with snot and tears streaming down their faces.

The troops surrounding them had expressionless faces, as if they had no psychological burden at all in killing these people.

Antonio stared at the army and immediately saw the "Sun Symbol" painted on their armor, a shining sun.

The Holy See of Light! The Knights Temple!

Among the people who were inhaled by the smoke, a voice was shouting: "We are innocent, why are you killing us? Cough cough... You killed more than 300 people in the town, even the children were not spared, cough... How dare you call yourself the messenger of God? Did the God of Light let you do such evil things? You bunch of devils... cough cough..." At the end, he inhaled a mouthful of thick smoke and was choked and unable to speak for a long time.

A priest in white clergy robes stood at the forefront of the Knights Templar. Facing the accusations in the smoke, there was no guilt on his face. Instead, he had a fanatical smile: "Violence is not the path we want to take, but for a thousand years, blood has been flowing in the name of God. Mortals cannot understand His will. All we can do is believe in Him."

The man in the smoke regained his breath: "Ahem... The God of Light asked you to kill us all? Ahem... Bullshit... It's you... You abused the name of God... Ahem..."

The priest said loudly: "The God of Light speaks through my mouth. You cannot doubt the God of Light, and you cannot doubt me."

"Cough...cough..."

The people on the fire were so smoked that they couldn't refute.

The pastor ignored his objection. He shouted to the dozen people struggling in the smoke, "Sunset means that light is about to be swallowed by darkness. The three words Sunset Town are a blasphemy against light. The God of Light told me that living in this town is a sin. Everyone here is a sinner. Burning the sinners to death is their relief."

"It is a blessing to see the sinners burned to death. They are freed from their bigotry and can rest in peace." All the soldiers of the Knights Temple shouted at the same time.

Flames rose up, engulfing the last dozen people, and black smoke billowed up into the sky.

The priest took one last look around and gave the order: "Burn down all the houses. From now on, there will never be a sunset in the kingdom."

The Temple Knights responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"

The knights dispersed, and all the houses in the town were set on fire. Flames and black smoke rose everywhere. The priest waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

The white owl silently turned into purple light particles and dissipated in the air. At the same time, Antonio in the woods outside the town suddenly opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, we are too late." Antonio sighed, "Everyone in the town was killed. It was done by the Knights Templar of the Holy See of Light."

Elizabeth: “!”

Antonio quickly recounted what he had just seen and heard.

The magician had a very good memory and he could even repeat the conversation he had just heard word for word.

After hearing this, Elizabeth and the guards all looked unhappy.

"Damn it!" Elizabeth: "Who gave him the right to slaughter the people of the magic kingdom at will?"

Antonio sighed and said, "All the people in this town were disliked by Ugumantai for various reasons, so they had to flee to the border town to live. He should be very happy to hear the news of their death... The Holy See of Light, in the name of God, helped Ugumantai to eliminate them."

Elizabeth looked extremely unhappy. "How many Knights Templar are there? Can we catch up with them and kill them?"

Antonio shook his head slowly. "There are a lot of them, more than three hundred! We can't touch them. Not only can we not chase them, but we have to avoid them. They are most likely the second group to come after us after the Black Knights."

Elizabeth frowned. "The Blackhearted Mage must have reported the cat-people and our group to the authorities. Fortunately, he doesn't know that the werewolves took us in. But if these temple knights attack Gilneas, we will be in trouble."

Antonio: "Most of the Knights Templar are heavy infantry, unlike the light infantry led by the Black Knight Feder. They are heavily armored and it is difficult for them to trek through the western forest. They will not enter the forest in the short term, so you can rest assured."

As the two were talking here, a guard on sentry duty ran over and said, "Your Majesty, we found a survivor."
