Abel left the city in disappointment. He couldn't find any preachers, not even the holy Knight behind them.
He sat in the operation room of the battle fort and ordered the Druil soul and the world stone fragment to search for the preachers again. This time, he would keep searching and update the location to the Fire Tooth spirit every once in a while.
There were already 60 books of inheritance in the crystal angel statue. This was the result of his fast and continuous attacks.
Ever since he knew that the Sacred Light Empire had already dealt with his attack, he had been besieged by hundreds of paladins. He even encountered a battle formation of 1000 paladins once.
In order to not waste time, he snapped his finger and killed the preachers. After getting the preachers' preachers' preachers' preachers' preachers, he rushed to the next target.
However, when the Holy Light Empire realized the preachers' preachers could not be stopped, Abel realized his preachers' preachers' preachers' preachers were no longer working.
The Holy Light City was a giant city. It was the center of the Holy Light Empire. It was the symbol of the Holy Light Empire and the capital city.
In the center of Holy Light City, a magnificent palace stood. This palace was equivalent to a small city. Outside the palace, a crystal-like shield could be seen with the naked eye, protecting the entire palace.
The 40 preachers were no longer as confident as before. They were forcefully summoned back when they were at their proudest moment, and they realized less than half of their comrades had returned.
Even if the 40 clergymen had firm faith, they could not help but feel discouraged.
Emperor Harvey looked at the 40 preachers. They were his last hope. He couldn't afford to lose any more.
The power of the attacker was beyond his expectations. Even a rank 19 holy Knight was dead.
However, he still thought the attacker was the ace of the Wizard Union. It could be an old monster that had been in retreat for many years or a wizard that was about to die from the Central Continent.
He guessed that the attacker was either a rank 19 or 20 wizard, and the attacker must have had experience fighting against a Holy Knight. Otherwise, there was no way he could kill a rank 19 Holy Knight.
Emperor Harvey slammed his hand on the throne, "Killing preachers is blasphemy against my lord. I'll summon you all back after I kill the blasphemer."
Now, it was clear that the attackers were targeting the clergy.
However, Sacred Light Empire dared not dispatch too many saint Knights. Because Sacred Light City was the core of Sacred Light Empire. If most of the saint Knights in Sacred Light City were dispatched away, the safety of Sacred Light City would not be guaranteed.
To be honest, he had sent out a thousand Holy Knight at most, but all of them had died.
The enemy's strength was very high, so high that he did not want to waste his own combat power. He did not want to scatter his combat power, but gathered all the Holy Knight.
The most powerful thing about a Holy Knight was the battle formation. There were 4000 official Holy Knights in the palace, including himself, and about 100 peak Holy Knights. They would form the strongest battle formation on the Lance Continent.
He placed the 40 clergymen in the hall, and he was also here. Given the savagery of the attackers and their desire to kill the clergymen, he really wanted the attackers to come here. However, this idea was not very realistic.
This was the most powerful battle formation on the Lance Continent. As long as they were smart, they would not come here to die.
Of course, Emperor Harvey could not afford to lose any more preachers. Even if he could kill the attackers now, he would not be able to spread his faith in 2 years.
He just hoped that the Central Continent Wizard Union would not send reinforcements too soon. As long as he could drag it out for 3 years, he would be able to spread his faith.
As for the attackers this time, he did not expect them to come from the Central Continent. Without the help of a super teleportation circle, even a legendary would not be able to reach the Lance Continent this quickly.
He also did not think the attackers were law-defying wizards. If there were law-defying wizards in the Lance Continent, they would have already appeared when he wiped out the Lance Continent Wizard Union.
Also, if they were law-defying wizards, they would not need to attack the preachers. They could just come straight to his door.
"Your Majesty, the kingdom's intelligence network has been fully activated. As long as a wizard shows up, they will not be able to escape detection!" Holy Knight Kirk bowed.
Emperor Harvey said with a gloomy face, "Let's hope so. We can't wait any longer. Find the culprit within 10 days. Mobilize all the knight families in every city and send out all the forces. If anyone doesn't listen, kill them!"
"Yes, your Majesty!" Holy Knight Kirk bowed.
What they didn't know was that the attackers did not come into contact with anyone other than when they attacked. They were just flying in the sky.
It was impossible to find Abel through the intelligence network.
However, Emperor Harvey's words were just as effective for Abel. He came to the Lance Continent in secret, so he could not completely escape from the situation.
He also needed to prevent the Nation of God from attacking the tree of life again. Although he had added a lot of defensive measures, he would still feel uneasy if he was not there.
Therefore, while Abel was looking at the virtual map in his battle fort, he felt like time was passing by very slowly. When the dots appeared one after another, a smile emerged on his face.
This was what he wanted the most. He had flown to 60 cities in a short period of time with his battle fort. He had almost covered half of the Lance Continent.
During these 3 days, he did not even take a break. He was fully focused on killing the preachers.
Finally, the preachers were all gathered together, and he had a chance to kill them all.
He did not have to work so hard to find them one by one.
"Fire tooth spirit, the target is here. Full speed ahead!" Abel yelled when he saw the 40 dots gathered together.
The battle fort did a light turn in the air and silently flew towards the Holy light city.
Abel didn't know that was the Holy light city, but he knew the defense there must be very strong. That was why the Holy light Kingdom had the confidence to gather all their preachers together.
However, he was already regretting bringing Doff along. The battles on the Lance Continent were too easy.
He took out the mystic headband from his invisibility cloak and put it on his head. It could double his power of the Will. With him as the center, his power of the Will could reach 2000 meters. Other than the elite holy knights, all the holy knights would lose their ability to move under the influence of the crystal angel statue. They would become his most loyal followers.
This was why he could affect 1000 Knights at the same time. As long as they were in his power of the will range, the Knights were like lambs to him.
The battle fort was very fast. In just a few hours, Abel saw a huge city.
However, it was rare to see a city with a defense circle on a subcontinent, especially a giant city like this. The Lance Continent did not have enough materials and technology to build one.
The Holy light Kingdom had always been hiding in the shadow of the Wizard Union. They were afraid of attracting too much attention from the Wizard Union, so even if they had the materials, they would not ask the Wizard Union for help.
"Huh, there's a city defense circle!" Abel's eyes flashed in shock when he saw a small city-like palace.
Although it was only a small city defense circle, it was still very rare on a subcontinent. This kind of technology was very common on the Central Continent, but it was very rare on a subcontinent.
The city's protection circle was bought by Emperor Harvey at a huge cost from the Central Continent to protect himself and his golden armor.
"Fire tooth spirit, prepare the energy cannon!" Abel was too lazy to attack himself, so he decided to test out the energy cannon on the battle fort.
"Honorable Elder, the energy cannon has been activated and can be used at any time!" Huo Ya's voice sounded from the control room.
Abel looked down at the palace and lowered his voice, "Target the city's defense circle. Attack with all you've got!"
Afterward, 10 sets of energy cannons extended out from the side of the battle fort. A violent energy wave emerged from those cannons, and beams of white light shot towards the crystal shield above the palace.
This was the first time the energy cannon of the battle fort was used at full power. Abel had only tried one before.
In just a short 30 seconds, hundreds of energy cannons had landed on the city's defensive formation. When the crystal barrier shattered like glass, the Fire Tooth Spirit stopped the energy cannons' attacks.
The sudden attack made the alarm in the palace go off, and an ear-piercing sound filled the sky.
However, other than a few servants running away in panic, the Holy Knight did not panic.
Four thousand Paladins formed a huge battle formation, protecting the palace within it.
The Holy Knight gazed at the spot where the white light came from. Although they couldn't see anything, they knew the enemy was there.
Emperor Harvey yelled, "How brave! How dare you attack the palace!"
His face turned serious. The attack came from the sky, which was the weakness of the Holy Knight. The formation of the Holy Knight was useless against enemies in the sky.
"You are Harvey?" Abel suddenly appeared 10 meters away from Emperor Harvey with Frankenstein and asked.
"How dare you! I don't care who you are, you should respect an emperor. You should call him majesty!" Holy Knight Kirk yelled.
Although he knew these two hooded wizards were powerful, he was still not happy with the way they addressed Emperor Harvey.
It was a disrespectful act to call someone by their name, especially for an emperor of an empire. It was the most basic etiquette to use the prefix "great" when meeting for the first time.
"Respect?" Abel couldn't help but laugh. There was no joy in his laughter. Instead, it was full of mockery.
If he didn't come to the Lance Continent, the Wizard Union would've built a super teleportation circle in a few years, and the Lance Continent would've been destroyed.
There was no way the Wizard Union would allow a follower of the demon from beyond to appear on the Lance Continent. After a few years of the Holy Light Empire spreading their religion on the Lance Continent, even the Wizard Union would not be able to tell who was a follower and who was not.
In that case, the Wizard Union would have no choice but to kill everyone on the Lance Continent.
The Lance Continent had a huge population, but if the Wizard Union really wanted to wipe out a religion, they could wipe out an entire city with a virus or a plague.
The culprit was Emperor Harvey, so there was no way he would call him majesty.
"Harvey, you should've expected me to come if you've already treated the demon from beyond as your god!" Abel ignored Holy Knight Kirk and spoke in a soft voice.
"Who are you?" Emperor Harvey lowered his voice. He knew something was wrong with Abel's words.
Judging from the attitude of the wizard who mentioned the demon from beyond, he didn't seem like a wizard from the Lance Continent.
"Harvey, you don't need to know who I am. Have you ever thought that once you spread the demon from beyond, the entire Lance Continent would be seen as an evil follower? Every citizen of your Holy Light Empire would die for their beliefs!" Abel said coldly.
"My lord is about to return to the world. So what if everyone on the Lance Continent dies? So what if the entire world dies? As long as my lord returns, everything will be worth it!" Emperor Harvey laughed like crazy.
Abel was speechless for a moment. He just realized that he was having a verbal argument with a fanatical believer.
"As for you, do you think you can leave here alive?" Emperor Harvey stared at Abel with murderous intent. "I can't do anything to you if you stay in the sky, but how dare you come to the palace like this!"
Emperor Harvey sensed that the 4000 Holy Knights had set up their battle formation. The entire palace was under their control, so his tone became stern.
Abel did not respond. Instead, he looked towards the 40 preachers with greed in his eyes.
Every preacher was a heritage book in his eyes, and 40 of them were right in front of him.
"Kill them all!" Abel's voice echoed in the palace and spread outside.
Under Emperor Harvey's shocked gaze, a rain of arrows came from outside and killed all 40 preachers.
After the 40 preachers died, their souls were pulled into Izual's crystal angel statue.
