The Fula City of the Lance Continent was heavily guarded today. All the city guards were gathered, the gates were closed, and all the war machines were turned on.
From afar, Fula City looked like an alert hedgehog. All the weapons were pointed at the outside while protecting itself.
All kinds of crossbows, trebuchets, and individual arrows made it impossible to get close to the city walls.
Within the city, there were many Knights patrolling the city, paying attention to any dangers at all times.
The safest place in Fula City was an ancient castle. It belonged to the nobles of the first Fula City Lord, and Fula City was built on this very castle.
The castle was also heavily guarded. It was surrounded by a deep moat with man-eating fishes. Anyone who dared to enter through the water would become food for these fishes.
The only way to enter the castle was through a drawbridge, which had already been raised.
The tightly shut door was covered with iron sheets, and there were countless iron nails on the iron sheets, making the door appear even more sturdy and difficult to break through.
As a matter of fact, this castle had never been breached since it was built.
Within the castle walls and courtyards, all the guards were Holy Knights.
They were sent by the Holy Light Empire to protect Preacher Conner. There were 100 of them, and with the 10 Knights that Preacher Conner brought with him, there were 10 elite Holy Knights.
For the safety of Preacher Connor and the Wizard Union's hidden forces in the Lance Continent, all the nobles, servants, and guards were kicked out of the castle.
Fula City was the closest city to where a few preachers went missing. This was why Emperor Harvey sent 100 Holy Knights and 10 elite Knights.
With this kind of power, they could wipe out any force on the Lance Continent, let alone Preacher Conner.
Of course, this many Holy Knights were not just here to protect Preacher Conner. They had a more important mission, which was to find the attacker. Even if they couldn't capture him alive, they had to kill him.
Preacher Connor couldn't sit still. He had never felt this way ever since he became a preacher.
But today, when he saw the Holy Knight who came to protect him and learned the reason, he felt a strong sense of unease.
If it wasn't for Emperor Harvey's order, he would have left Fula City by now.
"Lord Connor, don't worry. If the attacker comes, he won't be able to escape! Connor's Senior Guardian Paladin said softly.
He had fought with wizards before, so he had absolute confidence in fighting against them. The wizard's originally terrifying 'Teleportation' was useless in front of the 'Holy Freeze' of a high-level Holy Knight.
At the very least, before the wizards could think of a way to deal with this aura, an advanced Knight would be able to suppress any wizard on the Lance Continent.
The high and mighty Magi were now like rats crossing the street.
From his point of view, losing the preachers was nothing more than revenge from the Wizard Union. They couldn't really hurt the Holy Light Empire, so they took it out on the preachers scattered across the continent.
Under such circumstances, the Holy Light Empire might have succeeded if they weren't prepared. Once they were prepared, the attacking adepts would be doomed.
"Then I'll leave it to you guys!" Preacher Connor smiled. He felt a little better after hearing those comforting words.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw all the Holy Knights in the hall kneeling on the ground. Not only in the hall, even the Holy Knights in the courtyard and on the castle walls were kneeling on the ground.
Then, from the darkness of the hall, two hooded Magi walked out.
"Not bad, separating the normal people saved me a lot of trouble!" It was Abel and Frankenstein. Abel smiled.
He knew his target was inside the castle, and all the guards inside were Holy Knight. There were way more of them than the preachers he encountered before.
He knew that the Sacred Light Empire must have known about his attack and was waiting for him.
It wouldn't be easy to hide the fact that the preachers had attacked, unless he killed everyone who knew about the preachers every time he went to a city.
He was not a murderous person, especially when it came to normal people.
Besides, it didn't matter if there were more or less Holy Knight knights.
"Who are you? Did you kill all the preachers?" Preacher Connor yelled.
Although he was yelling, his voice was shaking. He was not confident at all.
As soon as the 2 hooded wizards appeared, all the Holy Knight lost their ability to move. They could only kneel on the ground and not raise their heads. This power was beyond his imagination.
"The Holy Light Empire should not have betrayed the Wizard Union and the world!" Abel lowered his voice.
He reached out his hand, and a white arc of lightning flashed in his hand. He activated the telekinesis and sent it towards Preacher Connor's head.
However, at that moment, a figure flashed out from behind Preacher Connor. The Knight's long sword in his hand was burning with fire elements as he slashed towards Abel.
Abel did not dodge, nor did he stop his telekinesis. A crisp sound emerged from Preacher Connor's head.
The Knight who suddenly appeared was already in front of Abel with his vengeance. Just when it was about to hit Abel, a hand reached out and grabbed the Knight's long sword.
A flash of shock flashed in the eyes of the elite Holy knight. He never thought that someone could grab an elite knight's' revenge 'attack with their bare hands.
Even if the wizard in front of him used a move in a flash or a defensive spell, he would not be surprised.
"Interesting, another research object!" Abel smiled as he looked at the advanced sacred knight. His eyes were filled with interest as if he was looking at a research object.
The Knight tried to grab the Knight's long sword back, but he realized the power of that hand was far beyond his. He tried many times, but the Knight's long sword did not budge at all.
He quickly let go and stepped back. At the same time, he ignited the Holy Freeze on him. In the face of such a terrifying enemy, all he wanted to do was to slow it down. As long as he could make it to the teleportation circle, he would be able to escape.
At that moment, a powerful suppressive force emerged from Abel. The energy of a law-defying wizard wrapped around the Knight, and the Holy Freeze aura disappeared before it could do anything.
Abel looked at this rank 19 Knight with curiosity. This Knight was just like preacher Connor. He could not form a channel of faith with him.
He could not use his crystal angel statue to affect him directly. Of course, the ability to hide behind Preacher Connor was probably a special technique of the Lance Continent.
This didn't surprise him too much. Many great nobles had this kind of secret technique. In order to protect important people, they could have their guards completely hide in the dark and not disturb the life of the person being protected.
Abel scanned this Knight with his power of the will and realized he was blessed by a god.
If it were someone else, they might not be able to accurately determine whether or not it was a divine gift, but he had many experiences with divine gifts. Naturally, he could tell that it was a divine gift.
It turned out a Holy Knight would not be affected by someone who was not blessed by a god, even if that person was a god.
This result made him very happy. This meant that his 2000 Holy Knights would be his Holy Knights. Even if the demon from beyond woke up, it would only kill them. It wouldn't affect them at all.
This rank 19 Holy Knight was one of Emperor Harvey's first batch of Holy Knights. Emperor Harvey sent him here because he had a special stealth technique.
When needed, it could give the enemy the most unexpected and fatal blow.
"Oh right, take care of these!" Abel was about to leave with this Holy Knight, but he suddenly remembered the Holy Knight kneeling on the ground.
He used his right hand to gently snap his fingers, and the Holy Knights who were originally kneeling on the ground immediately fell to the ground and lost all signs of life.
Although the Holy Knight could not move, he could still see what was happening in front of him. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
This kind of control over life sent chills down his spine. After all, the one who died was a holy knight who he thought was stronger than a wizard.
When the Holy Knight attacked the Wizard Union headquarters, the wizards did not fight back that strongly, so he thought the Holy Knight was the most powerful class in the world.
However, right before his eyes, the Holy Knights, which he thought to be the most powerful job, were all killed with a snap of his fingers.
Abel nodded to Frankenstein and wrapped the Holy Knight with his power of the Will. Afterward, he disappeared from the castle.
Frankenstein flashed with telekinesis and put away the light gems left behind by the 110 dead Holy Knight.
Then, he used both hands to draw the 'meteorite' spell. After a dozen or so 'meteorite' spells were cast in succession, he disappeared from the castle without looking at the result.
The patrolling knights and the residents of Fula City saw a scene that resembled the end of the world.
More than ten huge 'meteorites' fell from the sky and heavily hit the castle that had a long history.
Frankenstein was a law-defying wizard who had mastered the law of fire. With the buff from his rune word equipment, his attack was even stronger than a rank 23 law-defying wizard.
At the same time, dozens of 'meteorites' were cast. After heavily smashing into the castle, they quickly exploded, and flames engulfed the entire castle.
The fire ignited everything in the castle, and the supposedly invincible castle was devoured by the fire.
The corpses of the paladins who had lost their souls in the castle were also burned to ashes by the flames.
Abel returned to the battle fort and looked at the 110 souls of the Knight in his crystal angel statue and the book of inheritance. He felt like he had gained quite a lot this time.
He then looked at the Holy Knight that was brought back to the battle fort. He didn't know much about interrogation, and he wasn't good at it.
"Tell me, where is Harvey?" He tried to ask.
As expected, even though the elite Holy Knight was shocked by what he just did, he still kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Abel thought about a lot of interrogation methods. Some he heard about, some he saw on TV in his past life, but it was just a thought. It would be hard to get anything out of a believer like this.
Although he didn't know where Emperor Harvey was, he just needed to ask the Druil to search for the prayers of the believers.
If Emperor Harvey was killed now, his men would scatter in all directions. It was not like he was going to have to search every city and every region to find him.
"Let's find all the preachers first, then go find Harvey!" Abel thought.
Since there was no point for the Holy Knight to exist, the last experiment would be to kill him.
A flash of lightning flashed in Abel's hand, and the "lightning" spell struck the advanced crusader. The defenseless advanced crusader was directly turned into charcoal.
He saw that the soul of the elite holy knight was trying to fly out of his charred body, but how could the crystal angel statue let it go so easily?
Izual stopped praying again and gently waved his hand, and the soul was sucked into the crystal angel statue.
Abel scanned the soul of the Holy Knight with his power of the will, but he couldn't find any memories.
His control over the crystal angelic statue was still too weak. Even the soul that had become his believer could not search through all of its memories when it was alive.
He thought this Holy Knight would be special since he was a Holy Knight given by the gods, but he couldn't find anything either.
This advanced holy knight was just like the soul of the holy knight in the crystal angel statue. There was nothing different about it.
Abel could only take the light gems from the corpse and destroy it. Although it was a rank 19 Holy Knight, it was not a mad Knight, so it was useless to him.
Frankenstein also returned to the battle fort and gave him the loot.
Abel looked at the burning castle below and shook his head. These Holy Knights were just a bunch of pitiful creatures. They didn't know what their god meant to this world.
The battle fort then flew over the construction site of the temple. In the chaos, no one saw the precious materials disappear.
