Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 755 Acquaintances Under the Holy Light
The Holy Light Church's camp was significantly better than the rebel camp's.

Normal fortresses, normal camps, and even the most magnificent mobile churches, which can transform and combine at any time to extend countless magical cannons from inside, making them formidable siege weapons.

Patrols of large numbers of soldiers patrolled the camp day and night. Carts of all sizes, loaded with different goods, came and went. Devout believers followed, offering money and then leaving with happy expressions.

Faith and war coexist in this camp at this moment.

Even during the most difficult moments of the war, the order within the camp never wavered. Everyone was equally bathed in the holy light, and everything remained orderly.

However, this rare peace was shattered today, because—

"It's Caius! They're back! Quickly open the city gates to welcome them!"

"Wait, why didn't I see the Magic Pegasus? Did they fail to retrieve it?"

"Something's not right. Why are all the knights injured?"

Caius and his Holy Knights arrived just in time, exhausted and wounded. Their disheveled appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone in the camp.

This caused a huge uproar among the crowd.

Because they had never seen this elite team, full of brave warriors, in such a disheveled state.

Even their armor was gone! They were left with only thin inner linings! Some were even left with only tattered clothes!

Caius and Anlessie looked to be in the best condition, at least their armor was relatively intact, but their complexions were still quite grim.

What's going on? Could it be that we've encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy?

Even the biggest operation ever launched by the Church of Starfire against Caius and his group didn't leave this team in such a sorry state. Who exactly is the enemy?
"We want to see the bishop!"

Riding on horseback, Anlessie bent down and grabbed a soldier who was staring in shock. Her pretty face was full of exhaustion and a hint of anger.

"Lord, His Holiness the bishop is in the church, he is praying," the soldier stammered, startled.

"Settle my companions in; they need to rest."

She threw the bundles that her horse was carrying onto the ground. The bundles scattered as they hit the ground, revealing a variety of items scattered around.

Green grass, zombie soldier helmets, fire flamingos, bone meal, and turds.
Because medicines made from green herbs were widely circulated in the army, and because soldiers were exposed to them for a long time, they recognized these things and naturally knew their origins.

He was stunned when he saw these things, because the green plant looked very fresh.

The soil clinging to the roots is still wet; this stuff is of freshly unearthed quality!
Where, where did it come from?
Although she noticed the soldier's question, Anlessie wasn't so idle as to explain the whole story to him.

After giving her Holy Light Knights a command to disperse and rest, she turned and left, heading towards the bishop's location.

As for Caius, he wasn't good at reporting, and since he had contributed the most along the way, his sister urged him to go back and rest.

They ran for half a day on foot, and only after finding horses were they able to pick up speed and finally make it back.

This is already quite late for their scheduled return, and there's already a lot of talk about it in the camp. Now that they're returning in such a badly injured state, who knows how much more gossip will follow.

"Long——"

Anlessie bit her lip and reached out to push open the heavy church doors.

Behind the gate stood a statue of the God of Light, overlooking the visitors. Soft light shone down from its head, imbuing the statue with a sacred aura. Beneath the statue, a young woman dressed entirely in a pure white robe gazed up at it, her dazzling golden hair intricately tied up, looking remarkably beautiful in the light.

She is the Holy Light Church bishop in charge of commanding this camp:
Megan Basque
Megan heard the noise behind her, but she didn't turn around. Instead, she kept her hands clasped in prayer, the crystal beads in her hands sparkling in the light. With her eyes closed, she asked, "Are you in trouble?"

Anless looked at the woman in front of her, who seemed far too young even among the bishops. She was so young yet held such a high position, something many people dreamed of.

There are many legends surrounding Megan within the church.

Some say that the person's origins are unclear, yet he has been highly valued by the Pope, suggesting that he must have some unknown background behind him.

Some say that Meghan is actually the Pope's illegitimate daughter, and that he's only now bringing her out to gain recognition and prestige.

Some also acknowledge Megan's management skills, believing she is a good manager, but that becoming a bishop is far too early for her.

Anlessie didn't have any special feelings for this guy; their relationship was simply one of cooperation, that is, colleagues.

From the moment she met Megan, the other woman always wore a serene and elegant smile, and she never acted in a hurry, exuding graceful composure. She was never seen flustered.

It seems like there's nothing in this world that could make her show a panicked expression, right?
Anlessie took a deep breath and said, "We've encountered the Sien Dungeon."

"Wow!"

Megan's crystal beads suddenly fell to the ground, and as the string broke, the beads rolled around.

"Huh?" An Leisi's eyes widened. What did she see?
“It slipped,” Megan said without turning around, her expression unreadable. After a long pause, she finally managed to utter, “Oh, I see. The Sien Dungeon has appeared. And then what?”

Did I see her trembling?

Anlessie tilted her head in confusion. What was going on? Could the Sien Dungeon cause this bishop, known for his composure, to lose his composure like never before?

But she quickly composed herself, suppressed her curiosity, and recounted everything she had seen and heard along the way and in the underground city of Sien.

"."

Meghan responded with a long silence.

Finally, when she could no longer remain silent, she slowly spoke:
"Zheyang, cough cough cough, is that so?"

Did I just hear her voice crack?

Anlessie felt that something strange had been going on these past few days; even Bishop Megan was acting strangely.

At this moment, Megan, having composed herself, said as usual, "This matter is indeed very important. You did a great job, Anlessie. It's rare that you all returned safely from that underground city. Go and rest. You must be exhausted. I need to discuss the operation regarding that underground city with the Pope and the bishops."

She turned around and revealed a serene smile that felt like a gentle breeze.

Anlessie nodded, feeling that the bishop had returned to normal, before turning and leaving.

The moment she closed the door after she left.

"Boom!"

Megan seemed to lose her balance as her legs went numb and collapsed to the ground. She gasped, her clasped hands trembling slightly as she muttered to herself:
"Why did that demon come here?"
