Bernard led a group of cavalrymen to chase after the refugees led by Jiang Fei and Hua Mulan. Although Jiang Fei and Hua Mulan had already run quite a distance away, how could a group of refugees who were running on two legs and carrying large and small bags be faster than the cavalrymen?
About an hour later, Bernard's cavalry saw the refugees in front of them.
"Go and negotiate with her first. If it doesn't work, I'll do it!" Sylphy said to Bernard.
Although Sylvie was stronger than Hua Mulan and she was also the Moon God's disciple, the two of them belonged to different organizations. Sylvie was a member of the Religious Court of Inquiry and belonged to the Pope. Hua Mulan, on the other hand, belonged to the Saint.
Although the Pope had absolute power in the Luminous Vatican and the Saint had almost no power, the two of them were on the same level. The Pope was in charge of the affairs of the Luminous Vatican while the Saint was in charge of spreading faith.
To put it bluntly, the Pope had the final say in the military and political affairs while the Saint was in charge of winning the hearts of the people. Although she did not have as much power as the Pope, things like disaster relief and saving people were usually handled by the Saint. Therefore, in the hearts of the Luminous Believers, the Saint had a very high status.
It was precisely because of this relationship that Sylphy did not want to fall out with the Saint. After all, the Dark Faction was facing a great enemy. If there was internal strife in the Light Faction, it would be over.
"Alright! But I don't think Hua Mulan will agree … "Bernard sighed. However, he did not dare to disobey Sylphy's order.
Just like that, Sylphy flew high in the sky and hid behind the clouds while Bernard led the cavalry to stop the refugees.
"What's going on?" Jiang Fei noticed that the troops had stopped moving, so he asked Hua Mulan.
As there were no more towns to loot, Jiang Fei did not bother to patrol the so-called Nephilim Ambush Team. So, he was with Hua Mulan and the others.
"Reporting, General! Lieutenant General Bernard is blocking our way! "At this time, a soldier ran to Hua Mulan and reported.
"Hmm?!" Hua Mulan frowned. Of course, she knew that Bernard was the frontline commander and also knew what he was here for.
The Saint was spreading faith, so naturally, the lives of the civilians were more important. On the other hand, the Pope was protecting the political power. So, no matter how many civilians were sacrificed, the Pope was determined to fight the Dark Faction to the death. This way, the differences between the two could not be reconciled.
"I'll go and take a look!" Hua Mulan nodded slightly at Jiang Fei and then followed the soldier to the front.
"The leader of the Divine Light Fortress? I'll go take a look! "Jiang Fei's interest was piqued, so he quietly moved to the front of the group.
"Bernard, what are you doing here?" Hua Mulan did not give this frontline commander any face.
"Hehe … That … Lieutenant General Hua Mulan, that … that …" Bernard could not say anything for a long time.
It could not be helped. Hua Mulan was infamous in the Light Faction. Although this lady had delicate features and rosy lips, she had a fiery temper. She would start a fight if there was a disagreement. Moreover, this lady was very powerful. She was invincible below the Overlord level. Bernard himself had been beaten up twice by her. Hence, when he saw Hua Mulan, he was terrified.
"If you have something to say, then spit it out. If you have nothing to say, then hurry up and scram!" Hua Mulan was so polite to Jiang Fei because of her high Reputation Level. Although she and Bernard were both from the Light Faction, their ideals were different. Naturally, their relationship was not that good.
"Sigh! I'll just say it. They are all border residents. They have an obligation to help us guard the border. They cannot leave! " In the end, Bernard gritted his teeth. After all, he had Sylphy's support today. He did not believe that Hua Mulan could still beat him up!
"War is the business of soldiers. What does it have to do with civilians? I am under the orders of the Saint to evacuate them to a safe area. Are you going to disobey the orders of the Saint?" Hua Mulan glared at him.
"Lieutenant General Hua Mulan, I am a member of the Commander-in-Chief. Her Highness the Saint doesn't seem to have the right to govern us, right?" Bernard was determined. Since he had Sylphy's support, he might as well fall out with Hua Mulan.
"So, you are going to stop me?" Hua Mulan did not say anything else. She immediately took out her spear.
"F * ck you!" When Bernard saw Hua Mulan take out her weapon, his heart trembled. This lady was indeed not someone to be trifled with. She really did not hesitate to attack!
"I will count to three. If you don't move aside, I will embarrass you in front of your subordinates today!" Hua Mulan pointed the tip of her spear at the tip of Bernard's nose.
"Oh my god, this tough lady really should not be trifled with …" Bernard subconsciously looked up into the sky. He had no choice but to ask Sylphy for help. He really could not defeat Hua Mulan. If he were to be beaten up in front of his subordinates, how would he be able to face others as the frontline commander?
However, Sylphy clearly did not intend to attack now. That was because she had no excuse to attack Hua Mulan. If she were to attack now, she would definitely be charged with bullying the weak and attacking the Saint's Guard. However, if Hua Mulan were to attack Bernard, she would naturally have a reason to attack when she saw the frontline commander being beaten up as a special envoy who was inspecting the frontline defense.
"Eh?" Bernard looked up into the sky subconsciously. He also knew that Sylphy would not appear before Hua Mulan attacked. However, when he looked up into the sky and looked back at Hua Mulan, he actually saw a Nephilim among the crowd of refugees from the corner of his eye!
"Great! Hua Mulan, you actually colluded with the Nephilim race! "Bernard finally found the truth!
"Ah?!" Hua Mulan was stunned. Then, she followed Bernard's gaze and saw Jiang Fei standing alone in the middle of an empty space.
Jiang Fei was standing in the middle of an empty space with a big red name. It was difficult for him not to be noticed. Therefore, it was not surprising that Bernard saw him from afar.
The reason why Jiang Fei was exposed was because he wanted to secretly see what the frontline commander of the Divine Light Fortress looked like. Originally, Jiang Fei had thought that he would blend in with the crowd. With the cover of hundreds or thousands of people, the cavalry on the other side would not notice him at all.
However, Jiang Fei never thought that he would be careless. As he was too embarrassed to hide among the women, he went into the group of male NPCs. However, one must not forget that the Romeo Title only worked on female NPCs. Even though Hua Mulan had explained Jiang Fei's identity, among the male NPCs in the Light Faction, regardless of whether they were soldiers or civilians, Jiang Fei's Reputation was cold. When they saw Jiang Fei, they would hide in a corner with a look of disgust. Therefore, Jiang Fei's big red name was suddenly exposed in front of Bernard!
"Although he is a Nephilim, he is the Saint's messenger. I have a handwritten order here as proof!" Hua Mulan immediately explained. After all, colluding with the Nephilim race was too much of a crime. Even she could not afford to bear it!
"Haha! Hua Mulan, don't try to argue! It is obvious that you are the one who colluded with the Nephilim race. Then, you forged the Saint's handwritten order in an attempt to evacuate the border citizens, causing a loophole in the frontline defense! Hua Mulan, you damned traitor! " Bernard did not allow any explanation. He first accused Hua Mulan of being a traitor. This was because even if he was not beaten up, Sylphy, the Religious Court Deacon, would have a reason to attack him!
