"Name?"
"Leon."
"Birthplace?"
"Northwest, Rye Town, Grey Tree Village."
"Are you a member of the Guild of Thieves?"
"Yes, I belong to the Guild of Thieves in Rye Town."
"Strength?"
"In a head-on battle, I can probably fight with a middle-level warrior. But I am a thief after all, and I am good at sneaking, hiding, stealing, and appraising … "
"I understand. You will be assigned to the scout team. Bring this document to the scout department of the Northern Army Camp to look for Damons. Sir Lil, you can ask the assistant officers of the scout camp about the details. "
Leon, who had changed his name to "Leon," nodded and took the document that had just been filled out and stamped with a magic seal. He then walked towards the north of Eagle Wing City.
Although he had not been back for more than 30 years, he could still remember every grass and tree in Eagle Wing City. Walking through the city, he felt that everything was familiar. But when he looked carefully, he found that everything was the same, but the people were different. It was very different from what he remembered.
For example, there was a restaurant that he liked the most when he was young. The owner was a middle-level mage who was good at cooking. Every summer, he would release dozens of different flavors of cold drinks that were both exquisite and delicious. But now the restaurant was still there, but the owner was gone. Looking at the owner's appearance, he vaguely felt like the owner in his memory. It must be his child.
Another example was a weapon shop that he liked very much. The owners were two people. One was an old dwarf with rich forging experience, and the other was a retired adventurer. He was tall and strong, and his muscles were strong enough to be used as armor. But the shop was gone, and a hotel was built on the original site. Looking carefully, the walls seemed to be newly built. Maybe the two owners had met with misfortune during Woods' purge.
There was also a hotel where the palace guards often gathered. The owner of the hotel was also a retired palace guard. He remembered that it was here that he drank for the first time. When he passed by, it was still a hotel, and even the signboard had not been changed. Thinking back carefully, there were indeed many palace guards among the people who followed Woods in the rebellion …
Leon looked around as he walked. His face was full of curiosity, and his heart was full of nostalgia and emotion.
Thirty years was not a long time for a legendary master, but it was just a blink of an eye for a god. But to a country, to a city, to the civilians living in the city, it was already more than a generation.
The Eagle Wing City that he was familiar with, the city that he was born and grew up in, had changed …
He walked unhurriedly, stopping from time to time to observe a unique landscape or a unique building for a while before continuing forward. He didn't look like he was in a hurry, but more like he was here to sightsee.
Just as he was walking on the streets of the North City District, he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, and then he heard the hurried sound of hooves coming from behind him. Thus, he moved to the side of the road and looked back, only to see a group of fully armed knights riding tall horses towards the direction of the city gate.
Their armor was so shiny that it could be used as a mirror. The way they rode their horses showed that they had been trained for a long time. Their faces were full of vigor and fighting spirit, and they would definitely fight bravely on the battlefield.
But … Leon sighed to himself.
The faces of these knights were really young. They were not the kind of veterans who had really experienced many battles. They were still a group of children.
On the armor of these knights, he saw the holy emblem of the God of Knights. Without a doubt, these were the members of the Church of the God of Knights.
"Strange, why did the knights who founded the Church of the God of Knights join the battle?" He pretended to be a curious passerby and asked a patrolling soldier beside him.
But the soldier also looked confused, indicating that he didn't know anything. But then he said happily, "The Founding Knights are the earliest guardian deities of our human race. The knights under their command are both powerful and righteous guardians. With their help, we will definitely be able to defeat the brutal orcs! Protect our home! "
Leon smiled and nodded. He said a few perfunctory words and quickened his pace towards the big military camp outside the North Gate.
He was really a little curious.
The Church of the God of Knights had a great influence in the Eagle Kingdom because the Eagle Kingdom was the only country on the entire Main Plane that still worshipped the God of Knights. Although this country had experienced despicable rebellions and bloody purges, and even the grand "Knights Competition" in the world of knights had been held intermittently. But after a long period of accumulation, the God of Knights still maintained an extremely strong knight group in the country.
It was just that in the past years, this group of knights had never taken the initiative to attack. It was said that it was an oath made by the God of Knights that he would not fight to protect the children of the rebels. This rebel referred to the ancestor of the Eagle Kingdom, the God of Eagle who had once fought with the God of Light for the position of the Master God of the human race.
But … why did the knights under the command of the God of Knights come out this time?
Could it be that this God, who had been silent in recent years, had finally decided to rise up and show his great power?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Among the human gods, the God of Knights had the best reputation and was also the most respected. In the wild years, he was the first to step into the realm of immortality. He took over the priesthood of "human" from the Mother Goddess who had created humans but had not given them much protection. He had faithfully protected humans.
For a long, long time, he had been the Master God of the Human God System. Even after the rise of the Buddha Knights, he had finally chosen to give up the position of Master God and assist the strong man who had changed his name to the God of Light. But he and the knights under him were still the most resolute and bravest force to protect humans. In this era where humans had gradually become addicted to internal strife, only he still persisted in the idea of development and progress. He continued to advance into the wild and pointed his sword towards the outside of humans.
Now, he had two aliases, "Pioneer Knight" and "Lonely Guardian." The two were actually two sides of the same coin, but they were talking about the same thing.
Only he was still opening up more living space for humans, and only he still persisted in defending against all foreign enemies and protecting humans.
Now, he had finally decided to step into the frontline of the battle between humans and Orcs again. Had he returned to the time before the God of Eagle rebelled and fought side by side with him against the Orc Gods?
Leon was very confused. He couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart and report the news to Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong was very curious and contacted Morani, who had been paying attention to the war. Morani was also very curious, so he directly asked the God of Knights himself in the Pantheon Temple.
"That's right. I have issued an oracle, calling all the knights who believe in me to put on their armor, pick up their weapons, and head to the Eagle Kingdom to support the human army and resist the Orc invasion." The God of Knights nodded in response to Morani's inquiry.
"… Why do you want to participate in the war? This doesn't seem like your style. "
"Why do I want to participate in this war?" The God of Knights was silent for a moment, then replied, "I can't watch the entire Eagle Kingdom, an ancient country with the longest history of humans, become a country of Orcs."
"A country of Orcs?" Morani asked doubtfully.
"Yes, haven't you noticed? Now the Orcs' practice is to force human men and Orc women to have offspring, and human women lose the opportunity to marry and have children. Although this is just the beginning, if the Orcs really occupy the entire Eagle Kingdom, they will definitely popularize and persist in this practice. In this way, within a few generations, there will be no more humans in the Eagle Kingdom, and only mixed-blood Orcs will be left. "
Morani thought about it, shook his head, and asked, "What's wrong with being Orcs?"
Under that heavy armor, a gaze looked at his head full of golden mane, as well as his bulging nose and wide mouth, and a bitter laugh came out.
"Steel Lion," Morani, was himself an Orc. And he was not a mixed-blood Orc, but a pure awakened lion-man.
"There are some things that I insist on," the God of Knights replied calmly. "That's all."
Morani nodded, thought about it, and privately contacted the God of Justice, Yorgaardman, to ask him to find out more about the God of Light.
"I hate that guy!" Yorgaardman said unhappily. "Don't look for me for this kind of thing!"
Fortunately, among their group of friends, there was still one whose status was barely enough to talk to the God of Light.
The Goddess of Wealth tried to find the God of Light to ask his opinion on this matter.
A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Human Master God, who had circles of light condensing behind his head. He said calmly, "Everyone has their own choice, as long as they are willing to bear the consequences. I respect this choice."
"Consequences?" The Goddess of Wealth was shocked and hurriedly asked, but the God of Light refused to answer.
However, the meaning revealed in his words was enough to make people worry.
"Could it be that the God of Knights' actions will bring great trouble to himself?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask. "He already doesn't have many believers. If he kills the most elite group of knights this time, it might cause his divinity to drop, right?"
"This is also his own choice," Morani sighed. "All these years, he has been pressured by the God of Aristocracy step by step and is increasingly embarrassed. Perhaps he is tired of this kind of life and has decided to fight a great battle. "
"… Then what do the Human Gods think?" Sui Xiong looked at Javier, who was sitting next to him.
Javier sighed and shrugged. "Don't ask me. I'm just an outsider. How could I possibly know the really important things!"
"You look like you're very dissatisfied?"
"Yes!" Javier's face suddenly became gloomy. "This time, the Orcs' invasion is obviously premeditated to completely exterminate the entire human race. That His Majesty is actually still sitting still until now. What is this!"
"I won't be surprised no matter what he does," Yorgaardman said with a cold smile. "Oh, except for good things. He even killed Mother God. Maybe now he feels that the senior who protected us in the past is too much of an eyesore. It's not strange. "
The few Gods looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
If Yorgaardman's guess was right, then the God of Knights' future was really worrying this time!
