Early the next morning, Li Huailin directly appeared at the Radiant Church's headquarters in Brasov. That's right, when he was sleeping, Li Huailin finally remembered why Night Flight's words sounded so familiar. Didn't someone just tell him about a similar situation?
The previous Knight Captain of the Radiant Church had just reported to him that there seemed to be monsters attacking the civilians around Brasov. These civilians were inexplicably attacked, and they didn't even know who the attackers were. They inexplicably fell to the ground and were then sent to the Radiant Church for treatment. The 2nd Knight Division that was sent out was also attacked. When Li Huailin remembered this matter, he immediately came to ask about the situation.
Of course, at this time, the Radiant Church's Pope Melekden should have already returned. When he heard Li Huailin's message, he didn't dare to go out. Pope Melekden was currently very worried. Forget about Li Huailin's matter, he didn't even think about which side to stand on. Now, he didn't expect the Church to have a new situation. This was really a headache. Now that Li Huailin had directly come to his door, Melekden was a bit anxious and didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, you know that our Radiant Church has always believed in the God of Light. But now, this situation …" Seeing Li Huailin appear, Pope Melekden anxiously said. But before he could finish, he was immediately interrupted by Li Huailin.
"We'll talk about this later. First, tell me about yesterday's situation." Li Huailin said, "What happened to your 2nd Knight Division?"
"Your Majesty ….. You also know about this?" Melekden was also surprised, but then he remembered that Li Huailin was the Emperor of the continent. Of course, he would be well-informed. It wasn't strange for him to know about this matter. However, he didn't know why Li Huailin suddenly cared about this matter. Of course, although it was strange, he still replied, "Your Majesty, the situation is a bit strange ….."
"Strange? How strange? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, the 2nd Knight Division was attacked by unknown people. They were almost defeated without any resistance." Melekden said.
"No resistance? Does that mean they were suddenly wiped out? "Li Huailin asked.
"Your Majesty, they were defeated in an instant, but they weren't completely wiped out … Most of them were fine, and only a few were injured," Melekden said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned. "You mean to say that someone attacked your troops and easily defeated them, but then let them go without touching them?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is the strange part … We have no idea what the other party's purpose is." Melekden said. "The civilians who were attacked didn't suffer many casualties. Most of them just lost consciousness. They were found and brought here for treatment. To be honest, they didn't have many external injuries. Basically, they could be completely healed with a little treatment, but …"
"There's a but?" Li Huailin asked. "What happened? Can you tell me everything in one go?"
"Although the external injuries aren't a big deal, the people who were attacked seem to be a little muddle-headed, as if they can't remember what happened. So when we asked them what attacked them, they couldn't tell us at all. As a result, we don't even know who the enemy is." Melekden said, "However, the wounds on their bodies seem to be caused by the claws of some wild beasts. Some of the knights' horses also disappeared. They were probably eaten by these wild beasts. That's why we speculated that they were attacked by wild beasts."
"They ate the horses, but left the people alone?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, we did a headcount. Everyone in the 2nd Knight Division is still there. No one died," Melekden nodded. "I don't know what the other party was trying to do."
"What about the scene? Did you do it? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, but the scene was a little chaotic, so we couldn't find anything for now," Melekden said. Melekden said. "It's not the kind of chaos that happens after a battle. There are no traces of a battle at all. Since we have so many people, we can't tell which things were left by the enemy. We can't even trace the footprints."
"So, you don't even know if it was a human or a ghost that attacked you?" Li Huailin held his forehead. "Where are the members of the 2nd Knight Division now?"
"Most of them are fine, but I feel like they are in a daze. I told them to rest for now," Melekden said.
"What kind of muddle-headed situation? Find someone to ask, "Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Melekden nodded. He then gave some instructions to the person beside him. After a while, a middle-aged NPC wearing knight armor appeared in front of Li Huailin.
"Your Majesty, this is the Knight Captain of the 2nd Knight Division, Locus," Melekden introduced. After that, he looked at Locus and realized that Locus hadn't bowed yet. He immediately said, "Locus, this is His Majesty the Continent's Emperor. Why haven't you bowed yet?"
"Hmm … Greetings, His Majesty the Continent …" Locus seemed to have just reacted. He then knelt down in front of Li Huailin and said. Li Huailin could roughly guess what Melekden meant by 'in a daze'.
"Locus, right? You didn't see what attacked you at all?" Li Huailin asked.
"Your Majesty, I … I can't remember clearly. My mind is a little confused …" Locus said. "My head is a little swollen, and my neck feels a little itchy …"
"Bastard, who told you to say that? Answer His Majesty's question," a bishop beside him immediately shouted.
"Did you check for poison?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"Did Your Majesty say that they might have been attacked by some poison?" Melekden said. "But Your Majesty, I've already arranged for an alchemist to check. There doesn't seem to be any poison left in their bodies. Either the poison has evaporated, or they weren't attacked by the poison."
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded slightly. "That means it might have been a group mental attack?"
"Mental attack?" Melekden also nodded. "That's very possible. However, to attack such a large group of knights and cause so much damage in an instant, even a Sage-level mental mage might not be able to do it …"
"Hmm …" Hearing Melekden's words, Li Huailin became even more suspicious of the wielder of the Divine Sword. After all, to Li Huailin's knowledge, only the wielder of the Divine Sword could wipe out an entire group of knights in an instant. However, Li Huailin really didn't understand what the Sword Wielder's goal was. After all, attacking civilians was a very boring act. What was the point of killing these civilians? There was no benefit to killing them, and it would even decrease their favorability. After all, not everyone was like Li Huailin who could reverse the buff. If the Sword Wielder attacked civilians to test the power of the Sword Wielder, then it was possible that the target was the Church of Light. However, the problem was that not a single person from the 2nd Knight Regiment died. They were just left there casually, and there were no follow-up attacks. Why?
Of course, the strangest thing was the Executors. From the current situation, it seemed like the person who attacked the knights and civilians here was the same person who attacked the Executors. After all, the method of attack was somewhat similar. However, there were casualties in the Executors' ambush.
Yes, after Li Huailin heard about the incident yesterday, he asked Night Hang to help take a look. According to the player's memory, he found the location where they were attacked. The situation was indeed that there were a lot of NPC corpses on the ground, but there were also a lot of people missing. It was unknown whether these missing people were not dead, but they ran away on their own or were captured by others. According to the chronological order, the first to be attacked was the Executors' team, and not long after, the same thing happened in Brasov. Based on this deduction, could it be that the Sword Wielder's target was the Oracle?
If this was the case, then it was understandable that the civilians and the 2nd Knight Regiment were attacked. If it was a spiritual spell, then it could hypnotize the NPCs and make them reveal the information they knew. The Sword Wielder should know that the Oracle was gathering in Brasov, but he didn't know the specific location. So he attacked a few people in Brasov to interrogate them. The most likely place to hide the Oracle was the Church, so he also attacked the Church's Knights.
Of course, if this was the case, it was good news for Li Huailin. Although he didn't know who the Sword Wielder was, if the Sword Wielder's target was the Oracle, it meant that the Sword Wielder was also an enemy of the Celestial race. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Right now, Li Huailin really needed a spiritual attack as a teammate. This way, it would be much easier to interrogate the Sword Wielder.
However, if the Sword Wielder was really the Sword Wielder, then it would be a little troublesome. After all, the Sword Wielder wasn't one of his own people. Li Huailin felt a headache coming on. But no matter what, Li Huailin still had to find the Sword Wielder. He wanted to know what the Sword Wielder was and what his goal was.
Of course, it was impossible for him to just leave the city. Although the Sword Wielder would attack passersby, he wouldn't necessarily attack himself. However, since he guessed that the Sword Wielder's target was the Oracle, Li Huailin decided to look for the Sword Wielder.
