"...Necromancer." Asur gritted his teeth.

At this point, it doesn't matter if there are still doubts in your heart.

He shouted, "Follow me!"

Asur had no intention of taking a detour, and his personal guards immediately followed him, all holding their weapons and staffs high.

The Holy Avenger's blade suddenly lit up with a brilliant golden light. Relying on the speed of Pegasus, the holy sword easily tore through the shell of the earthworm.

The bright light gradually seeped out from the body of the burrowing worm zombie, extending and spreading inside the burrowing worm's body like cracks.

With one strike of the sword, the digging worm zombie's body completely stopped moving.

The next second, the light patterns that had rapidly spread across its body exploded simultaneously. The already necrotic and withered flesh instantly transformed into a brilliant radiance, as if countless small suns were exploding simultaneously within its body. The massive body that had previously hindered the Hell Knight's progress was instantly vaporized into a sky-blocking column of light that shot straight into the sky.

This time, nothing stood between the Hell Knights and their enemies from the Abyss.

At this moment, countless lights appeared in the sky.

Although the Hell Knights are called Knights, the diversity of their members is actually extremely astonishing - even the mages of the Flaming Fist are so few that they can only serve as advisors.

However, the Hell Knights had a high percentage of mages, undoubtedly a permanent member of the group. So much so that the Hell Knights even dared to urge these mages, who were otherwise unskilled, to master the art of riding.

And this tradition is showing its effect at this moment.

At this moment, less than half a minute after Asur issued the order, dozens of the most elite Hell Knights had been teleported above the camp and were falling to the ground.

This scene obviously greatly exceeded the expectations of the enemy sect of the abyss. They almost subconsciously raised the holy emblem to the sky.

It was exactly the same posture that Asur had just seen not long ago.

They are about to release that mysterious flame towards the Hell Knights who come to support them!

Asur had understood the characteristics of that flame.

Swift, unavoidable, and irresistible. The Hell Knights, previously severely wounded and fallen, had cast spells to protect against the demons. But facing that hellfire, those spells were completely ineffective.

If there is a drawback, it is that the power of that hellfire does not seem to be strong enough.

To put it bluntly, if you are using Fireball to attack a group of unprotected enemies, you don't need more than a dozen spellcasters to fire at the same time.

So, what the Hell Knights in the camp have to do now is very simple - use a charge to completely break through the formation of the enemies from the abyss and prevent them from continuing to cast spells.

Just as the battle was about to break out, a voice that was far beyond Asur's expectations appeared above the camp.

And this voice successfully attracted the attention of everyone, even the enemy priests of the abyss.

"That's it, stop it."

Asul looked up in disbelief.

I saw that the Supreme Observer Tavis Craig was also in the queue, falling to the ground.

"-Shouldn't you be in Eltoril to deal with the Sun Companion's affairs?!" Asul couldn't believe his eyes.

Asur was hesitant to say how important Companion Sun was to the people of Eltoril.

However, the Companion Day is absolutely central to Craig's rule—at Craig's request, all Hell Knights must swear an oath to the Companion Day before taking office. Participants in major events must swear an oath to the Companion Day! Using the Companion Day to attract the relocation of many good forces has always been one of Elturgard's national policies.

Why would Craig be here at this time, when the glory of the Companion Sun has not yet been restored?!

However, what shocked Asul was yet to come.

Under the effect of the Feather Fall cast by the Hell Knight, Craig simply took out a badge from his arms.

He didn't look at Asul.

What he saw was the enemy of the abyss.

Craig said coldly: "As Vice President, Tavis Craig, I order you to stop."

As for why the second-in-command of a sect is called Vice President, at least the Enemy of the Abyss priests understand.

The enemy priests of the abyss were all staring at Craig's face and the emblem in his hand with disbelief on their faces, almost trembling.

But in the end, they lowered their heads and stopped casting spells.

Even the zombies that were swarming over were stopped by the priests.

Craig ignored the shocked looks of the other Hell Knights and continued to ask in an unquestionable tone, "Where is Lunia's Emiya? Is she alive or dead? Is she still in this camp?"

Asur was extremely dissatisfied with Craig's actions. He rode his Pegasus a few steps forward and said, "Craig! What on earth is going on..."

The Enemy of the Abyss sect is a group of evil sects that wantonly play with the undead, and Craig is even a member of this sect. Everything he did was completely beyond Asur's expectations.

Before he could finish his words, Craig turned around and shouted angrily.

"——Back off, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

Craig didn't often speak so harshly. Furthermore, strictly speaking, Asur wasn't his subordinate, but Asur would always respect Craig and obey his orders.

This time, Craig's attitude shocked Asur, leaving him speechless for a moment.

The Abyssal Voice priests looked at each other and subconsciously looked in the direction of Emiya and others.

Of course, they couldn't reveal their plan in public.

"...President Tani knows." That's all they could say.

Now, whether it is the Hell Knight who was already here or the Hell Knight who just arrived, they have all fallen into complete confusion.

They are not afraid of fighting or death.

But they always have to know who their enemies are and what they are going to do.

Asul winked at his men: "Go and rescue our fallen comrades. Those severely injured by the mysterious flames may still be saved."

Then, Asur's Pegasus trotted forward, and the paladin held his sword before Craig. "Tavis Craig, Supreme Observer, please explain clearly—where did the Enemy of the Abyss sect originate, what is its purpose, and what is your connection with them?"

"I repeat, none of this matters, and it has nothing to do with you," Craig said coldly. "Get out of the way."

Asul didn't answer.

But this time, he no longer simply held the sword across his side, but silently raised the giant sword behind his shoulder and made an attacking posture.

At this moment, another old voice sounded from the direction of their concentration: "Emia of Lunya is dead."

This sentence was so significant that the enemy priests of the abyss and Craig present almost jumped up at the same time.

Tani's old figure was seen covered in blood. He walked around the shelter of the houses and came to a few dozen meters in front of everyone present. He casually threw a human head on the ground.

The priests of the enemy of the abyss could hardly believe their eyes and screamed, "President Tani?!"

"Lord Tani! Didn't the Grand Duke tell us to capture him alive?! And didn't he repeatedly emphasize that even if we couldn't succeed, he must not die?!"

"...Grand Duke." [Tani] did not answer immediately, but raised his head slightly, "As expected."

This unusual posture does not appear often on Tani.

On the contrary, Craig had often seen this unusually calm, even apathetic, behavior in another young man, which made him narrow his eyes slightly.

[Tani] nodded: "Then you don't have to worry. Emiya is not dead."

Craig pointed to the head on the ground and said, "So, whose head is this?"

"Whose?" [Tani] picked up the head from the ground in confusion, raised it to the side of his neck and gestured.

The head had its eyes tightly closed and was originally the head of a young man with red hair.

[Tani] calmly moved his head slowly in front of him and covered his face with it.

Then, amidst the shocked expression of the enemy priest of the abyss, the postures of the living and the dead were alternating.

The vibrant, vibrant red hair had faded, wrinkles covered her cheeks, and her expression had turned into one of shock, resignation, and pain, with even large burn marks left by the moonlight.

The face on the head silently changed into the face of the person who was still standing.

Lunia's Emilia shook the spoils in her hand and threw the head of the leader of the enemy sect of the abyss to the ground.

Then, he took a deep breath and glanced at the fully-armed Hell Knights—about sixty of them. It wasn't a large number, but they were the elite of the elite who had managed to arrive via teleportation. That was barely enough.

"Sir Asur, don't you want to know what happened here? In order to gain your trust immediately, I had to keep my mouth shut. But now is the time."

Emiya took a step forward, and his teammates had already teleported behind him using the dimensional gate.

"I, Mage Emiia of Lunya, now represent Baldur's Gate, along with my teammates, Paladin Mars of Candlekeep, Smiling Lady Priest Alestria Starsong, Bard Sig, and Mage Silver, Holy Dumbo, Lulu! I accuse you!"

"Tavis Craig!" Amyia's voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness.

"I hereby accuse you of becoming a lackey of the devil, even before you assumed the position of Supreme Observer, and of serving under the command of the fallen angel Zariel, Grand Duke of Avernus! One of the biggest reasons why the devils have been able to come and go freely in Eltoril over the past few decades is that you, as the Supreme Observer of Eltoril, have opened the door for them!"

"The so-called enemies of the abyss are actually your subordinates or fellow believers. The so-called bishop of the Church of Torm is nothing but nonsense! Tavis Craig, the halo around you is all lies. You are nothing more than a pawn of the devil in the material plane, nothing more!"

Seventy-seven Companions (Part 2)

Craig, who was so impatient that he lost his composure, suddenly stopped, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The enemy priests of the abyss drew their weapons again at this moment after having just put them away.

Asur didn't say anything either.

He no longer tried to stop Craig, but silently rode his Pegasus to the front of the Hell Knights and held the Holy Avenger in front of him.

The Hell Knights silently divided into three teams.

One team is preparing to clear the zombies in the camp, and the other team is preparing to face the tidal wave of digging worms that will come like a torrent.

The last wave had already pointed their weapons at Tavis Craig.

Seeing this scene, Craig had no intention of stopping it.

He didn't even bother to defend himself.

On the contrary, he had an indescribable expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, as if he was about to laugh out loud.

But it wasn't anger, nor was it panic.

——Perhaps, it is a kind of ecstasy from the heart that can never be expressed, but is difficult to suppress.

He ignored Emilia's words and immediately looked up at the sky.

What was even more amazing was that even the Shengyang Sect, who had been standing aside and remained silent throughout, seemingly an outsider, seemed to have found their purpose at this moment and began to float towards the sky from time to time.

The Supreme Observer remained motionless, while the Abyssal Enemy Clerics were clearly far less obedient to the Vice-President than they were to Tani. Thus, even without receiving orders, they began to shout loudly. The Digger Zombies began to stir once more.

Almost at the same time, the footsteps of the digging worms became louder and clearer, as deafening as thunder.

Just as the war was about to break out, several other actors in this drama finally arrived.

In other words, the group of actors that Craig and the Order of the Rising Sun had been waiting for had arrived.

It was a vast sea of ​​red sulfur clouds.

Yin narrowed his eyes slightly: [Emiya, the demons are here.]

Hundreds of demons suddenly appeared in the sky above the camp, ablaze with teleportation magic. The rustling of bat wings briefly overshadowed the footsteps of the diggers. The thick stench of sulfur was instantly swept into the camp by the howling wind.

Lust demon, bone demon, and hell pit demon.

This was exactly the configuration that Emiya had encountered when she was attacked before.

They are all mid-to-high-level demons who are good at flying and long-range attacks.

What Emilia is most concerned about is the leader of this group of demons.

They had never met each other in person, but they had met each other in dreams.

"...Bayer." Emilia whispered.

The former Grand Duke Avernus personally took to the battlefield at this moment, leading his troops to the battlefield.

After Bayer arrived, he did not join the battlefield immediately. Instead, he immediately gave a loud order, and all the demons were immediately teleported to a higher sky. Then, the first thing Bayer did was to observe the battlefield.

At this time, the temporary camp had become extremely chaotic, with countless forces mixed together -

Bayer's eyes scanned the ground, searching for the person he wanted to see.

Tavis Craig.

Dragos II of the Order of the Rising Sun.

The Knights of Hell, especially their Knight-Captain Asur.

...and more crucially.

The red-haired wizard was now wearing the white robe of the archmage, and the amber pupils hidden under the hood were intertwined with Bayer's lava-like eyes.
