When Flants heard the news, he was the most surprised. What followed was disgust from the bottom of his heart, because he really didn't want to hear the word 'church' again.
Hissed told us that this time, we were going to work together with the Falcon Knights under the church to investigate the source of the abnormalities in the Beastmen's Land.
Moreover, this mission was an invitation from the church that had nothing to do with us. They wanted us to go to the German Empire to assist in the investigation. Hissed showed us the letter from the Pope, and we were all surprised after reading it.
Everyone present had more or less heard some rumors about the church, and they didn't have a good impression of the church.
This was especially true for Frant, who used to be a knight under the church. Because of this, he was the one who understood the church the most.
As everyone knew, the church was the only legal religious organization in the German Empire. The church believed in the Seven Gods, and the so-called Seven Gods were the seven gods who ruled over humanity. They were the God of Love Raus, the God of the Hunt Hunter, the God of Luck Raquel, the God of Truth Pamela, the God of Wisdom Wezdum, the God of Sun Saen, and the God of War Arenac.
This time, the church took the initiative to cooperate with us. This involved the interests of the Kingdom of Northland and the German Empire, so we could only report it to the Lord of Gorgon, Horf.
After obtaining Lord Horf's approval, the leader, Hissed, agreed that we should work together with the church to investigate the source of the abnormalities.
There was only one person who didn't look so good, and that person was Flants.
A few days later, the president asked me, Avina, Natalia, Flants, Kevin, Mayfair, and Lofis, the seven of us to complete this mission together. Because this mission was no small matter, there were some things that Hissed didn't tell us.
After we packed up our equipment and luggage, we prepared to set out to the predetermined location. The leader of this mission was still Natalia, and we didn't have any objections.
"How is it? You don't look too well. Is there something on your mind?" Seeing the absent-minded Flants, I went up and said.
"It's nothing. I just have an indescribable feeling," Flants forced a smile at me.
"When we come back, I'll treat you to drinks at the Giant Bear Hotel for three days and three nights." I patted his shoulder.
The location we agreed to meet with the Falcon Knights was the Death Mountain Range in the northern part of the German Empire. The name sounded quite horrifying, but no one knew what would happen when the time came.
After nearly half a month of trekking, we finally arrived at the foot of the Mountain of Death under Natalia's urging.
The Falcon Knights had already set up a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain. The seven of us arrived at the entrance of the camp.
The knight guarding the door saw us and asked why we were here. Natalia took out the letter from the bishop and showed it to the knight.
The knight, reading the letter in the Bishop's own hand, became much more respectful, and admitted us.
The seven of us dismounted from our horses, and the knight led the way in front. The knight gestured to the nearby stable boys to find a place to tie up our horses. The few of us followed the knight to the command tent in the camp.
When we arrived at the command tent, the knight asked us to wait for a moment. He wanted to go in and report.
Then, three knights walked out of the tent.
The knight in the middle was wearing heraldic armor. He had a full beard and looked very calm.
The knight on his left had to be mentioned. At first glance, you could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person. The knight looked very young, and his appearance was also very handsome. He was wearing a coat of heraldic armor. The most eye-catching thing was the shining eagle badge on his chest.
From the moment Flants entered the camp, the expression on his face betrayed the disgust in his heart. Until he saw the handsome knight in front of him, his eyes revealed disbelief.
He was the only one who knew what this badge represented. After all, it was given by the Pope himself. It was used to honor the knights who had made outstanding contributions to the church and were ranked in the top ten. The ones who had this badge were the legendary ten Holy Knight badges of the church.
So, the young knight in front of him was one of the ten Holy Knights of the church, the Eagle Holy Knight. What an honor!
In comparison, the female knight on the right didn't seem so eye-catching.
Women couldn't become knights, but the female knight in front of him clearly couldn't be underestimated. The female knight was wearing plate armor and had red hair. Her appearance couldn't be considered stunning, but it was definitely the type that was worth looking at.
"Hello, I am Dwayne, the leader of the Falcon Knights. It is an honor to have you all here," the knight in the middle said.
"Hello, I am Natalia, from the Demon Hunter's Blade. These are my companions."
Just like that, we greeted each other. The handsome knight was called Gregory Gerrard, and he was the deputy commander of the Knights of Falcon. The name of the female knight was Catherine Jones. She was the only female knight in the Order of Knights.
Just as we were about to enter the command tent, there was a loud noise.
Everyone's eyes focused in the direction of the gate. Then, there were a few screams.
In an instant, all of us subconsciously drew our swords and swords and entered battle mode.
The camp was filled with a green light. Everyone was fighting with the enemy.
"It's an invasion of vengeful spirits!" someone shouted. At the same time, the alarm in the camp was rung.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I hope you can protect yourselves." The leader of the knights, Dwayne, drew his iron staff and charged at the invading vengeful spirits.
Gerald also picked up a two-handed sword and cut a green vengeful spirit in half.
"Take care of yourselves, children." The red-haired female knight called Catherine shouted and charged at the group of vengeful spirits. She had a steel shield in her left hand and an iron battle axe in her right. She looked very brave.
The seven of us also drew our weapons and prepared to fight. However, those vengeful spirits were extremely terrifying. They wouldn't be injured even if they were attacked. They could always recover. However, their attacks were so terrifying that many knights fell one after another.
Flants looked at the scene in front of him. It was so similar to the scene back then.
It was the same that day. The sky was filled with snow. Flants and he were ordered to clear out a group of barbarian villages that believed in heresy. Unfortunately, they were surrounded by more than five hundred armed barbarians.
Flants and his comrades fought a bloody battle. For a moment, the field was covered with corpses.
The knights fell one by one. In the end, only Flants and he were left. At this time, they had killed more than two hundred armed barbarians. Their stamina was gradually weakening.
The barbarians were also shocked by the knights' amazing fighting power. They didn't dare to move forward.
At this time, he saw a war horse that hadn't been killed yet.
He told Flants to get on the horse and retreat, but Flants insisted. The war horse couldn't carry two fully armored knights, so he knocked Flants out and carried him on the horse.
"Sorry, brother. We can't all die here." He patted the horse's butt.
