[Second Update]
The Chief Inquisitor pulled out a blank magic scroll and wrote on it with divine power – the demons destroyed the village, the fire burned the wheat fields, the blasphemers will attract the wrath of God. When the divine punishment comes, the world will be reborn from destruction.
After he finished writing, the blank scroll shone with a holy radiance. The Divine Spell was sealed in the scroll. A Level 10 Divine Punishment Spell had been written on the scroll by the Chief Inquisitor. Moreover, it had been established!
The demons were running on the main road. They were already deep into the Titan. Whether it was merchants, mercenaries, or even patrolling troops, they all stayed far away. The demons didn't attack either. For both sides, they lacked the desire to fight.
After running for more than three hundred miles, the demons were a little tired, and Neris slowed down.
Salin looked back, and the mages followed again, maintaining a distance of fifteen miles.
Neris's perception had been cut off from Salin. She let the two great demons lead the way, and returned to Salin's side. She said with some depression, "Master, even if we slaughter the city, the people behind us won't care, right?"
"Yes, the village we passed was burned by the people behind us." Salin's voice was a little gloomy. Mages were rarely really angry, especially for ordinary people. It was very rare.
Neris didn't feel strange. She just said, "Master, you don't think that we killed those villagers, do you?"
Salin wanted to laugh at Neris's words. Although he didn't laugh, he didn't feel so bad.
Responsibility couldn't be taken so easily. If so, according to the theory of the Holy See, anyone who resisted was guilty. Anyone who resists is guilty. If you don't resist and obediently die, then you won't implicate others. What kind of bullshit theory was this?
Salin could bear the death of millions of people in Iron Wall City. Of course, he wouldn't be discouraged by the Chief Inquisitor's massacre of the villagers. But if he continued to do this, it would indeed be tantamount to implicating many innocent people, and it wouldn't change the people behind him.
"Nicholas, what do you say?" Salin asked the old mage beside him.
Nicholas thought for a moment and said, "Master, if we want to lure them into action, we have to go back to the mountains. Let's capture a few mages in the next town and use nature magic to purify them in the mountains. I don't believe that the people behind us can still tolerate it. "
"It's nature magic. I don't know how to use it yet. Winter, can you use it?"
Winter replied in his unique voice, "As long as Your Highness gives me enough divine power from the Goddess of Nature, it will be easy for me to kill those who are defenseless."
"What about the power of faith?"
"That's even better. I also know a few nature divine arts. If Your Highness has a nature divine art incantation or a divine runic symbol array then we can make everyone within dozens of miles feel it. There's at least a tenth level mage chasing after Your Highness. So, Your Highness, do you really want to provoke them? "
"Yes, go ahead." Salin waved his hand and let the demons continue forward. He instructed Nelis to bypass the small town in front and go straight to a bigger city.
After the war in the Titan Empire, many cities had been destroyed. Although this place was close to the middle of the north, it was still somewhat desolate. More than half of the village was gone, and most of the farmers were taken away by the nobles to the south.
The demons slowed down and walked for dozens of miles. They had already rested and continued to speed up their pace. Winter was envious of the demons' physique. Riding on the Nightmare, he said to Salin, "Your Highness, can these demons join the Druidic Knights?"
"Demons don't have faith." Salin held up the Water Shield, which didn't hinder him from speaking. In fact, although he was riding the Nightmare, the status magic on him had never been removed.
"It doesn't matter if they don't have faith. Anyway, the Knights … don't need faith. Your Highness, if you need an organization like the Inquisition, I can help you build one. "
"I don't need the Inquisition. The Knights are enough." Salin refused Winter's request. He deeply hated the Inquisition.
Dong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was only testing Salin. If he built the Inquisition, then he wouldn't even wait for the thousand-year contract to be completed. He would find a way to kill Salin and destroy the Druidic Church.
The team bypassed the small town and rested for most of the night. In the early hours of the morning, they set off again and went straight to their target. It was a newly built medium-sized city with about a hundred thousand people. It was originally an ancient city of Titan. Half of it was destroyed in the war, and most of the residents had moved away.
Now, the remaining tens of thousands of people lived in the new city. It seemed very cold.
Although the Vatican had tried their best to make this place prosperous, the war with Galoulan and Qinyin had made this road lack the original business opportunities. Without merchants, the development of this city had almost no prospects.
The Vatican was very skilled at controlling farmers, but they had no good way of controlling merchants. There were many reasons, such as the existence of the Scotia Empire, and Qinyin merchants would never do business in the areas controlled by the Vatican. And the people of Cloud Flow, who were willing to communicate with the Vatican, were good at sea trade, but often disguised themselves as pirates.
Nelis skillfully released demons from the Demon God's Purgatory. When they approached the city, the number of demons had reached more than a thousand.
Facing a city with tens of thousands of people, a thousand demons was enough. This was the central part of Titan, and there was a large army on the border. There wouldn't be too many troops stationed here.
When Nelis rushed into the city with a group of demons, the defending troops didn't even react. Although they had received a warning of danger, according to the calculations of the troops in the city, the group of demons on the road was still two days away.
The city had been taken over by the Tribunal. Although most of the troops were Titans, they used flying magical beasts to send messages, which were extremely fast.
This misjudgment was not only in the time of the arrival of the demons, but also in the number of demons that had arrived. There had been information on only two hundred demons, but there were thousands of demons in front of them.
There were a hundred prison guards in the city where the Tribunal was. These prison guards wanted to drive the hundreds of soldiers in the city to defend against the demons, but the city gate had been smashed by the demons. The demons rushed into the city, and the Titan soldiers were not willing to risk their lives. They all fled.
The people left in the city had also experienced the war. At this time, the country was occupied by the army of the Vatican. The citizens also hid in their houses and refused to come out to help in the battle. The only place where there was resistance was the church in the center of the city.
This church had been built by the Cardinal Institute. It was four stories high, and stood out in the destroyed city. More than a thousand demons passed through the streets of the city and surrounded the church. The prison guards had no choice but to forcibly stop in front of the church.
Zalin was too lazy to use any tactics. Nicholas cast a Fallen Divine Spell to suppress the Holy Light of the church. Then, the two Golden Sword Saints and the two Great Demons rushed forward and scattered the prison guards. Then, they pushed down the spire of the church and smashed the door.
Nelis did not take out the gray memory. Instead, she changed to a 20-meter long spear and pierced the church. There were many mages in the church. More than a dozen of them were captured.
Seeing the demons rush into the city, the Chief Inquisitor's heart was a little shaken. He really wanted to enter the city and save the mages, but he held back. Let the demons kill. This way, he could make more use of the anger of the gods.
Nelis was too lazy to touch ordinary people. The demons' desire to kill was related to food, and also related to the creatures they came into contact with. Under Nelis's restraint, these trained demons had no interest in humans. After capturing the mages, the demons walked through the city, leaving only the corpse of a Hellguard.
At most, the demons crushed the stones of the entire street and destroyed a church. Other than that, they did not destroy anything else.
Nelis saw that the fierce battle she imagined did not break out. Although the hundred or so prison guards were strong, they only killed a dozen demons. With Zola and Sue, any powerful warrior would be cleaned up immediately. The strongest among the prison guards was only a silver sword saint. A silver sword saint was besieged by two golden sword saints. There was no suspense.
Nelis chose to attack in the evening. She kept the demons into the Demon God's Purgatory. When they rushed into the mountains, it was already dark, and there were still two hundred demons left.
The people around Sarin began to get nervous. They had robbed more than a dozen mages. Although they were all low-level, they were still regular professionals of the Holy Church. These people represented the face of the Holy Church. Next, Sarin would give the Holy Church a hard slap in the face. If the pursuers behind could not bear it, then the battle would begin.
After finding a flat terrain, Sarin released the Elemental Stone Soldiers and began to clean the ground. After making the ground flat, he scattered soil, added magic powder, and petrified it. A platform more than a hundred meters long and wide was completed.
Next, Sarin took out a piece of green mud stone, infused the power of faith from the Blessing Ring into it, and handed it to Winter.
Green mud stone could preserve divine power, power of faith, and various divine attributes, so it was called the Stone of Taboo. Salin did not have much in his hands. This thing had long been mined in ancient times. There might only be some mineral veins left in the sea.
Winter was only surprised for a moment, then took the green mud stone that had not been cut. Sarin handed him a few scrolls. The scrolls contained the nature magic that Sarin had organized, as well as the language of the Druidic religion. The only thing missing was the divine language created by the Goddess of Nature.
Magic did not necessarily need to be cast with divine language. The divine language left by the Goddess of Nature was essentially derived from the Myers language. In comparison, nature magic was relatively easy to cast.
Moving in the mountains, the line of sight was blocked. Sarin could not see the Chief Inquisitor, and the Chief Inquisitor could not see Sarin. Sarin plundered more than a dozen mages. The Chief Inquisitor immediately followed, unsure of what Sarin was going to do.
As night fell, Sarin and the others stopped moving forward. The Chief Inquisitor also ordered them to set up camp.
