The Devil Inside

They have been stationed here for several hours. In order to shock the enemy, the spirit master deliberately made a lot of noise. The people in the secret port must have known the situation here, but after such a long time, they still did not choose to escape by water.

This means that -

There are capable people in the secret port. They know that the Original Church is invincible at sea and plan to break through by land.

"I have to hold this place."

Under the pitch-black armor, the spirit master is determined.

Continuous raindrops fell, hitting his armor and splashing a thin mist.

A request for assistance has been sent.

Reinforcements will arrive tomorrow morning.

As long as he could hold out for one night, he would have made a great contribution. It might be difficult to be promoted to a three-star combat specialist.

There's no problem in getting some credit.

Next to him, Bishop Little John just felt cold.

He shivered.

I thought it was just a simple task, just finding a ship, how much effort would it take?

But as things developed, we finally had to go to war!

Moreover, it was a fierce battle between the two sides, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. His armed priests usually maintained order. When had they ever been so serious?

If a real fight breaks out later, can you hold on?

Just at this time.

The red moon is blazing, its light is like blood.

As the moonlight passed by, Bishop John's will to fight suddenly became extremely strong, and even his hunched back straightened up.

He looked at his armed priests and realized that their morale was equally high, and nodded with satisfaction.

Instead it is the Spirit Lord.

What's going on? He smells like cowardice.

Little John looked up and said, "Master Spiritual Master, achievements are just around the corner, what are we waiting for?

Just rush in, kill some, and take the 'target' you're talking about, isn't that it?"

what?

The Spirit Master was slightly pleased. He turned his head to look at little John who had a determined face. He didn't understand why the man who was so timid a moment ago became so brave at this moment.

On the contrary, it was him.

His courage collapsed, and all that remained in his heart was confusion, even the undead warhorse under him was gone.

Rush in and kill them all?

"It's not necessary."

After careful consideration, the Spirit Master said this.

He raised his hand, wanting to touch his chin to ease his emotions, but it was icy cold. What he touched was his wolf-shaped claws.

Lord Blood Wolf's iconic scarlet eyes also disappeared.

He said: "The enemy's number is unknown, and the situation is unclear. It is a taboo to advance rashly. So, we should retreat first, retreat one - " - retreat three kilometers, and lure them out! You know, I can transform your horses into undead horses, which do not consume stamina when running, and we can catch up with them even if we retreat three kilometers. '

"Lord Spirit Master?!"

Little John was shocked!

The enemy has been trapped, why should we run?

The Spirit Master's voice turned cold: "This is a military order! I will bear all the consequences, just do as you are told!"

Say nothing.

The Spirit Lord led his dead slaves to retreat. Little John was extremely unwilling. He looked at the secret port in front of him with hatred and sighed.

Military orders were as heavy as mountains, and he had to follow the instructions of the Spirit Master and lead the high-spirited group of armed priests to leave the battlefield tower.

Lorenzo raised his head and looked at the blood moon through the rain. He thought he needed a little violent emotion right now.

otherwise·-

He couldn't bear to do it.

"I have wasted ten years in Sturgeon Town, and I have always remembered the kindness of the Imperial Vanguard. I will also never forget the expectations of the old captain. It can be said that this body of mine exists to restore the glory of the Imperial Vanguard."

Marinus listened quietly.

His muscles were tense, ready for battle.

Lorenzo added: "But what about now? Isabella, the last captain, actually gave up first.

She would rather play house with that Leila than join us and help us. She made me feel that my persistence was ridiculous! "

"Is it funny? Not funny."

"Sir Lorenzo, I am the executioner of the Vanguard. I have dealt with many people. I have also seen many noble souls."

"It may sound a little ironic for me to say this, but there really are people with pure faith and people with unyielding perseverance in this world. No matter how cruelly you torture them, their faith will not waver. Even if they are covered in wounds, their souls are still noble."

"You think you are ridiculous, but I think you are admirable. Even Isabella gave up, but you still persisted. Doesn't this show your nobility?"

Marinus said a lot of words, trying to comfort Lorenzo.

be honest.

When Isabella decided to give up, he felt betrayed. At that time, his emotions were not disguised, he was really broken.

He hated the original church.

It's not just because he was tortured, but most importantly, Marinus regards the Imperial Vanguard as his home and spiritual harbor.

His talents were unleashed there, and he didn't think there was a better organization than the Imperial Vanguard.

So he wanted to restore the monarchy.

No matter the cost.

Lorenzo smiled slightly. "Marinus, I said, I am grateful for the favor of the Imperial Vanguard, and I will not betray. What I want to say is, since it has come to this, can we return in another way? When the Imperial Vanguard was disbanded, the king said nothing; when I was persecuted and exiled, those military nobles also said nothing. In this case, why should I cooperate with them?"

"You might as well just say it."

Marinus is angry!

Lorenzo looked serious. He looked at Marinas and said, "I will offer the first generation of heroes to the original church in exchange for power. When I have enough influence, I will re-establish the 'Imperial Vanguard'. This is my way of repaying my gratitude."

"what!"

Marinus just found it ridiculous.

Is this also considered repaying a favor?

In order to maintain the royal power, the Imperial Vanguard actually fought with the Original Church for a long time.

Now·--·

Has Lorenzo gone mad and actually wanted to use the Primitive Church to restore the Empire's vanguard?

Is that kind of “return” still considered a “return”?

What imperial vanguard, original vanguard!

Marinus was speechless: "You are simply crazy!"

Chapter 187 #186 'That Thing'

The atmosphere in the tower dropped to freezing point. Marinas' facial nerves twitched and his muscles shook uncontrollably. He was very nervous.

Lorenzo has amazing strength and a legendary mark.

If they fight, he is no match for his opponent.

However, the current situation is not the time to retreat. If he really relies on the Primordial Church to rebuild the Empire's vanguard, then he would be truly ridiculous.

Marinus asked.

The man who had tortured him into disability while working in the Heresy Bureau was now a mid-level cadre in the Original Church.

What did he say about executing Lorenzo's idea?

Should he bow his head before his enemies and accept his reward?

No matter how you think about it, it's unacceptable!

Marinas spoke again, advising, "Lorenzo, I hope you can calm down. It is understandable that Lady Isabella is discouraged and abandons her responsibilities. As the last captain, the pressure she bears is beyond your imagination. It is reasonable for her to be discouraged for a while. The important thing is that we should not lose our composure, but be more resolute!"

It can be said that it is a sincere exhortation.

Marinus tries to change Lorenzo's mind.

He added: "We should set an example and let Isabella see our efforts. This may awaken her cooling fighting spirit and she will be motivated again."

Lorenzo listened quietly with an indifferent expression.

Marinus didn't understand Isabella. After all, he was an executioner and rarely met the captain, so it was natural that he didn't understand Isabella's character.

Lorenzo, however, knew her well.

After hearing Isabella's decision to give up, Lorenzo was shocked and puzzled at first.

After calming down and re-examining her choice, Lorenzo slowly reacted:

Isabella's feelings for the Imperial Vanguard must be deeper than her own.

She is not a person who gives up easily. The reason why she made this choice is probably because -

too difficult.

Lorenzo was exiled to Sturgeon Town for ten years. In his spare time, he thought about how to rebuild the Vanguard.

Every thought ends with “Maybe Isabella has a solution”;

When I met with Marinas privately to discuss the situation in Elzlia, Marinas always ended by saying, "I don't know how Captain-sama will deal with it."

This seems to be an infinite trust in Isabella, believing that she has the ability to turn the tide and make the impossible possible.

But in fact, this is what they expected.

Lorenzo and Marinus had no way to break the deadlock, so they threw the problem to Isabella, after all, she was the "Captain of the Army"

And Isabella had no way out.

The original church's prosperity and glory are visible to the naked eye, while the empire's vanguard has decayed and become history. After exhausting all wisdom and means, they find that they can do nothing.

So Isabella chose to escape.

Once he understood this, Lorenzo no longer felt any blame in his heart. He just felt that he should take responsibility.

It's not that there is no solution.

It's just that no one wants to make that choice.

Existence is everything, everything is for existence. If he suffers, he will also bear the blame.

Surrender to the enemy!

Just at this moment, the moonlight was very bright.

Lorenzo and Marinus exchanged a glance, and the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated.

Marinas suddenly understood and said, "Indeed, you have some truth in what you said. The Original Church is powerful, and we have little chance of winning against them head-on. Only by using the First Generation of Heroes to gain their trust and drive a wedge into their inner circle can we have a chance of winning."

Lorenzo was furious when he heard this!

Bright red "qi" flowed on his body surface, and he shouted: "Marinas! Do you want to listen to what you are saying? I will never cooperate with the bastards of the Original Church. I still can't forget what happened ten years ago!"

Marinus heard this.

Lorenzo also felt something was strange.

They stared at each other for a moment, and no one spoke any more. "Really—"

Viola deployed the Secret Field and summoned a nebula to cover the people. Led by Isabella, the group was outside the door, listening to the conversation between Marinas and Lorenzo.
