Holy Mania Empire, Southern Border.
In the sky, thick clouds were rolling, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled.
The earth was dark, the soil was cracked, and the grass and trees were withered.
The ferocious Demons were holding crude weapons, roaring and roaring as they surrounded the Demons.
Around them, human cavalrymen dressed in armor, hunters, or mercenaries rode on tall steeds and circled the devils.
The cavalrymen were holding spears or bows as they circled the Demons. Every time they circled, they would stab with their spears or shoot arrows.
At a glance, there were at least thousands of Demons that were surrounded, and the cavalrymen that participated in the encirclement of the Demons were not inferior either.
With the sound of horse hooves and billowing smoke, the Demons were pinned down by the cavalrymen, unable to break out of the encirclement.
Every time a Demon wanted to rush out, it would be blocked by a spear or an arrow. In the end, the Demons had no choice but to surround each other with their backs facing each other. They roared uneasily while fighting the cavalrymen that surrounded them.
The sound of weapons colliding and arrows flying intertwined, and the Demons' roars and the cavalrymen's roars gradually mixed together.
The sometimes intense and sometimes intermittent battle broke out between the Demons and the cavalrymen.
Almost every moment, a Demon would fall, and almost every moment, the cavalrymen that surrounded the Demons would be torn off their horses by these ugly monsters.
Every cavalryman that fell to the ground would be pulled by the crazy Demons, and they would be torn apart amidst miserable screams, turning into a pool of blood.
However, if there were people familiar with the Empire's army, they would discover that these cavalrymen that surrounded the Demons were completely different from the aristocratic cavalrymen of the Empire.
Their discipline was so strict that even if their companions fell one after another, no one panicked.
The miserable state of their comrades did not dampen their morale. On the contrary, they looked at the Demons with eyes full of hatred and fighting spirit, constantly in high spirits.
The cavalrymen were still circling the Demons' team, constantly circling, and while blocking the Demons' escape, they continued to bleed them.
Until … an ethereal and loud sound of the Elven Bagpipes came from afar.
It was the sound of a flute that came from the South, like a bugle horn, resounding through the sky.
Hearing the sound of the flute, the human cavalrymen's spirits were lifted, and their morale soared.
In the team, a young knight in silver armor that had been completely dyed dark by the demon's blood looked delighted. He raised his blood-stained longsword high.
"The elven army is here. Brothers, hold the demons back and keep them here forever!"
"For Segers! For peace and justice! "
He shouted loudly.
Following his shout, the morale of the cavalry rose and they shouted in unison:
"For Segers! For peace and justice! "
The cavalrymen shouted and raised their weapons to continue fighting the demons.
At the sight of the billowing dust in the distance, the demons began to panic.
In particular, when the roars of dragons were heard, dozens of Megalosaurus appeared in the sky, and behind them were thousands of flying magical beasts of various species.
The silhouettes of elves could be seen on the backs of every Megalosaurus and magical beast.
Those were the elves' flying troops.
As far as the eye could see, they filled the sky and gradually became clearer on the ground, complementing the orderly steps of the elven cavalrymen.
The deafening sound of horse hooves could be heard. It was the sound of thousands of cavalry charging together. It was an imposing aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.
The elves were either riding on Dragon Scale Horses or other magical beasts. They were like a rushing waterfall, pouring down from the north to the south.
Seeing the tall figure, the demons instantly panicked. With fear on their faces, they no longer cared about maintaining their strength and tried their best to break out of the encirclement.
Seeing this scene, the human cavalrymen laughed loudly. Under the command of the silver-armored knight, they continued to pursue and block the demons, preventing them from escaping.
The billowing dust dyed the battlefield confusing, but the human cavalrymen were still full of vigor as they chased after the demons who had collapsed in an orderly manner.
Until … the elven army charged over.
Those fully armed, handsome, and mighty elves were like an army of God's messengers that had descended to the mortal world. They flickered with brilliant magic light and had a powerful aura.
They quickly charged into the midst of the demons and completely scattered the already shaky army of demons.
A fierce battle quickly broke out, but in the next moment, it turned into an overwhelming pursuit. The demons threw away their armor and were instantly defeated. They were cut down like vegetables by the high-spirited and brave elves …
Seeing the demon army being easily torn apart by the elves' charge like paper, the silver-armored knight's eyes sparkled. His pupils were full of admiration and yearning.
"So … so powerful!"
"As expected of the legendary elven army of the chosen ones! As expected of a powerful army that even demons tremble in fear at the sound of their name! "
His fighting spirit was aroused. He continued to raise his longsword and ordered the human cavalrymen that he led.
"Brothers! Follow the elves' team! Destroy these evil demons! Kill —! "
"Kill —!"
The cavalrymen roared angrily.
They gradually merged with the charging elven cavalrymen. The overwhelming torrent completely swallowed up the demon army.
Then, the army continued to charge southward towards the open battlefield in the south …
The rolling clouds gradually dimmed, and night slowly fell.
The sounds of fighting on the battlefield had ended. Only sporadic sounds could be heard occasionally.
And in the south of the battlefield, in a city that had just been conquered, the elven flag had been raised on the city wall.
Looking at the scepter flag that was constantly fluttering in the wind, the silver-armored knight's gaze was somewhat complicated.
The battle was over, and the elves had already settled down in the city to rest. His cavalrymen had also been allocated a camp in the city.
From time to time, he could hear singing and laughter coming from the camp. It was likely that the elves had brought all kinds of delicious food and fun things to have a post-battle celebration with the knights.
"Are you the white knight Frank?"
A pleasant voice came from behind. It was calm, mature, and somewhat magnetic, attracting the silver-armored knight's attention.
He slowly turned around and saw a valiant red-haired female elven warrior appear behind him.
Beside her was a majestic Megalosaurus.
Seeing the female elf's gorgeous armor and the famous weapon in her hand, the "Blade of Penance", the silver-armored elf's heart skipped a beat.
"Valkyrie, Undermoon Jasmine Blaze?"
Hearing the silver-armored knight's words, the female elven warrior's gaze was somewhat helpless.
"Forget about the Valkyrie, you can be like the other elves and call me Undermoon Jasmine."
The silver-armored knight nodded gently and gave a friendly smile.
"Hello, Miss Undermoon Jasmine, I'm Frank."
"You don't have to call me white knight … Just call me Frank."
Hearing his words, Undermoon Jasmine raised her eyebrows and nodded.
"I understand."
"Mr. Frank, Lord Keretz is waiting for you in the temple. He wants to see you to thank you for your cooperation and help during our battle these days."
"Keretz …"
Hearing this name, Frank's heart skipped a beat.
He knew this name.
The new demigod of the elves, the commander-in-chief of the elven army that attacked the demons.
It was he who led the elven army to join the battle, and the demons entrenched in the southern part of the empire began to retreat one after another.
And now, after conquering this city, the road ahead was smooth and open. Only the last stronghold of the demon army, the Demon City, Morudo, was left.
Once Morudo was eradicated, this year-long war against the demons would finally come to an end.
Following Undermoon Jasmine, Frank walked in the direction of the city temple.
After being ravaged by the demons, this city had been completely ruined. Cities like this could be seen everywhere in the southern part of the empire.
However, Frank believed that as long as the demons were repelled and the filth was purified, all the pain would slowly heal.
Passing by the encampment of his cavalry, Frank indeed saw his warriors fighting with the elves.
Interestingly enough, when he first came here to cooperate with the elves, he always felt that they would be difficult to get along with because of their resounding reputation.
However, reality had proven that even though they were very strong and cold during the battle, once the battle was over, it was as if these elves had become completely different people. They were very friendly, very enthusiastic, very playful, and very good at enjoying life …
"Young Master Frank!"
Seeing the figure of Frank and Jasmine under the Moonlight, a Knight dressed as a personal guard put away the cards in his hand and trotted over.
Seeing the knight, Frank smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Roland, how many times have I told you? Just call me Frank. I've already abandoned my noble title."
"No, Young Master Frank will always be Young Master Frank. Roland will always be your guard!"
The guard said.
Saying so, he thought for a while and said:
"If you don't like it, I'll call you Lord Frank like the others in the future! Or … Leader? "
"You rascal …"
Frank could not help but laugh.
"Hehe, you're our leader after all! We're now considered a large mercenary group. "
Roland scratched his head.
Saying so, he looked at Frank, then curiously looked at Undermoon Jasmine and asked:
"Lord Frank, you're …"
"I'm going to the temple to meet His Majesty Keretz of the elves."
Frank said.
"K … Keretz …"
Roland's eyes widened.
"That's right, I'll be back soon. You take care of the team in my place. Don't let everyone have too much fun tonight. The endurance of the elves is not something we can compare to. We still have to continue our journey tomorrow. "
Frank said.
"Alright, don't worry!"
Roland nodded heavily.
After bidding farewell to the guard, Frank followed Undermoon Jasmine to the temple.
Like the other buildings, the temple was already in ruins. Although it was called a temple, it was actually more like a church.
No, it should be said that this was originally a church. Before the demons came here, this was the sphere of influence of the Eternal Church. And the building in front of him was an Eternal Church.
Of course, now it had the symbol of the Life Church.
"The Life Church …"
Looking at the brand new symbol of the scepter, Frank remembered the shocking news he heard a few days ago …
The Life Goddess Eve … turned out to be the legendary World Tree!
As a former noble of the empire, he had read a lot of family books when he was a child. He more or less knew about the founding war of the empire a thousand years ago.
Therefore, after knowing the true identity of the Life Goddess, he immediately understood why he always felt that the Eternal Church was against the Life Church.
However, the elves who believed in the Life Goddess Eve were still different from the elves in the legends. Therefore … Frank did not know which books he had read were true and which were false.
History was a young girl who could be dressed up by anyone. The well-read Frank knew very well that many things were written by the victors.
Therefore, he was more willing to see and experience many things in the world for himself rather than relying on others to teach him …
And after coming to the south, seeing the tragic situation of the empire along the way and participating in the war to exterminate the demons, this noble son became more and more mature.
Gradually, he understood many problems that he did not understand before, but at the same time, more doubts arose in his mind.
Along the way, he became more and more certain that the empire was sick, and so was the Eternal Church.
And all of this needed to change.
Faintly, he felt that he had touched on something, but he was still somewhat hesitant and hesitant.
He vaguely felt that he had to do something, but he was somewhat hesitant … Or perhaps, deep in his heart, he still wanted to save something.
"Mr. Frank, we're here."
While letting his imagination run wild, Frank followed Jasmine Undermoon to the temple.
Inside the temple stood a tall elf. He had black hair and black eyes, full of majesty, and a long scar on his cheek.
However, that scar was not ugly. Instead, it made him look more solemn and imposing.
He did not seem to have any pressure on him. He looked like an ordinary person. However, Frank knew that he was not ordinary.
Because he recognized that this was none other than one of the demigods of the elves, Keretz!
"Your Holiness Keretz, Mr. Frank is here."
Jasmine Undermoon drew a scepter symbol on her chest and said.
Keretz nodded slowly:
"Thank you for your hard work."
After bowing, Jasmine Undermoon took her leave, leaving only Keretz and Frank in the temple.
"Your Holiness Keretz, I'm Frank."
Frank bowed respectfully.
His expression was a little stiff, and his mood was quite uneasy.
A demigod!
This was the first time he saw a demigod!
Moreover, it was in such a close distance!
Keretz looked Frank up and down and nodded gently:
"I know you, a member of the Rosen family, the white knight who formed a mercenary group to fight against the demons, Frank."
Then, he smiled slightly:
"Frank, you're not bad. I heard that the Rosen family abandoned you and deprived you of your surname in the empire's Noble Parliament. Do you plan to join the Maple Moon Free Territory?"
