Banner of the Evil God

"Name?"

"Leon."

"Place of origin?"

"Northwest, Rye Town, Gray Tree Village."

"Are you a member of the Thieves Guild?"

"Yes, I belong to the Rye Town Thieves Guild."

"Strength level?"

"In a head-on battle, I can probably fight against a mid-level warrior. But I am a thief after all, and I am good at infiltration, concealment, theft, identification and other tasks..."

"Understood, I will assign you to the scout team. Take this document to the scout department of the northern military camp to find Lord Damons Lier. You can ask the assistant officers of the scout camp for specific matters."

Leon, who used the alias "Leon", nodded, took the document that had just been filled out and stamped with a magic seal, and walked towards the north of Eagle Wing City.

Although he hadn't been back for more than 30 years, he could still remember every blade of grass and every tree in Eagle Wing City. At this moment, walking through the city, he felt familiar everywhere. However, when he looked closely, he found that everything was different from what he remembered.

For example, his favorite restaurant in his youth, the owner was a mid-level wizard who was good at cooking. Every summer, he would launch dozens of cold drinks with different flavors, which were both exquisite and delicious. But now the store is still there, but the owner is no longer there. Looking at the appearance of the owner, he vaguely has the feeling of the owner in his memory. I think he is his child.

For example, a weapons store he liked very much, the owners were two people, one was a very old dwarf with rich forging experience, and the other was a retired adventurer, tall and strong, with muscles so strong that he could be used as armor. But this store is gone, and a hotel was built on the original site. If you look closely, the walls seem to have been newly built later - perhaps the two owners also met with misfortune in the Woods's purge.

There is also a hotel where the palace guards often gather. The owner of the hotel is also a retired palace guard. I remember that the first time I drank was here. When he passed by, it was still a hotel, and even the signboard had not been changed. Recalling carefully, there were indeed many palace guards among those who followed Woods in the rebellion...

Leon walked and looked, his face full of curiosity, his heart full of nostalgia and emotion.

More than 30 years is not a long time for a legendary strongman, and it is just a blink of an eye for a god. But for a country, a city, and the civilians living in the city, it has exceeded a generation of time.

The Eagle Wing City he was familiar with, the city where he was born and grew up in his memory, has changed...

He walked slowly, stopping from time to time, standing in front of a unique landscape and a unique building to watch for a while, and then continued forward. It doesn't look like he is in a hurry to do things, but rather like he is here for sightseeing.

Just as he was walking on the street in the northern city, he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and then heard the hurried sound of horse hooves coming from behind. So he stepped aside and looked back, only to see a group of fully armed knights riding tall horses and running towards the city gate.

Their armor was so bright that it could be used as a mirror; their riding posture was very good, and it was obvious that they had been trained for a long time; their faces showed strong morale and high fighting spirit, and they would definitely fight bravely on the battlefield.

But... Leon sighed secretly.

The faces of these knights were really a little immature. They were not the kind of veterans who had really experienced many battles, but a group of children.

On the armor of these knights, he saw the holy emblem of the God of Knights. There was no doubt that these were members of the Knights of the Church of the God of Knights.

"Strange, how come the knights who founded the Church of the God of Knights also joined the battle?" He pretended to be a curious passerby and asked a patrolling soldier beside him.

But the soldier also looked confused and said that he had no idea. But then he said happily: "The pioneer knight is the earliest patron saint of our human race. The knights under his command are powerful and upright guardians. With their help, we will definitely be able to repel the brutal orcs! Protect our homeland!"

Leon smiled and nodded, perfunctorily said a few words, and quickened his pace towards the large military camp outside the north gate.

He was really curious.

The influence of the Knight God Church in the Eagle Kingdom is very large, because the Eagle Kingdom is currently the only country in the entire main plane that still advocates the belief in the Knight God. Although this country has experienced despicable rebellions and bloody purges, even the grand ceremony of the knight world, the "Knight Tournament", has been held intermittently. But the long-term accumulation has allowed the Knight God to still preserve an extremely powerful knight group in the country.

However, in the past years, this knight group has never taken the initiative to attack. It is said that it was the oath that the Knight God made, not to fight to protect the descendants of the rebels - this rebel refers to the ancestor of the Eagle Kingdom, the Eagle God who once competed with the Lord of Light for the position of the Lord of Humanity.

But... why did the Knights under the Knight God go out again this time?

Could it be that this god who has been silent in recent years has 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 has the best reputation and is the most respected. In the wild years, He was the first to step into the realm of eternity. He took over the priesthood of "humanity" from the Mother Goddess who created humans but did not give them much blessing, and guarded them faithfully. human beings.

For a long, long time, He has been the main god of the human pantheon. Even though later with the rise of the Knights of Pagoda, He finally chose to give up his position as Lord God and assist the powerful man who was renamed the Lord of Glory, he and the knights under his command were still the most determined and brave ones to protect mankind. strength. In this era when human beings have gradually become addicted to internal strife, he is the only one who still adheres to the concept of pioneering and enterprising, constantly marching into the wilderness, and pointing his sword away from humans.

He now has two aliases: "Pioneering Knight" and "Lonely Guardian". The two are actually two sides of the same coin, saying the same thing.

Only He is still opening up more living space for mankind, and only He is still insisting on resisting all foreign enemies and protecting mankind.

Now, He finally decided to step into the forefront of the battle between humans and orcs again, and return to the era before the Eagle God's rebellion. Did he fight side by side with Him and fight against the Orc gods together?

Leon was very confused and couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart and reported the news to Sui Xiong.

Sui Xiong was curious and contacted Morani, who had been paying attention to this war. Morani was also curious and simply asked the God of Knights himself in the Pantheon.

"Yes, I issued an oracle, calling on all the knights who believe in me to put on armor, take up weapons, and go to the Eagle Kingdom to support the human army and resist the invasion of the orcs." Faced with Morani's inquiry, The god of knights nodded in response.

"...Why do you want to join the war? This is not your style."

"Why do you want to participate in this war?" The God of Knights was silent for a moment and replied, "I cannot watch the entire Eagle Kingdom, the ancient country with the longest history of mankind, become a country of orcs."

"A country of orcs?" Morani asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, didn't you notice? What the orcs do now is to force human men and orc women to have offspring, and the human women have lost the opportunity to get married and have children. Although this is just a sign, if the beasts If people really occupy the entire Eagle Kingdom, they will definitely popularize and persist this practice. In this way, within a few generations, there will be no more humans in the Eagle Kingdom, but only mixed-blood orcs. "

Morani thought for a moment, shook his head, and asked, "What's wrong with half-orcs?"

Under the heavy armor, a gaze looked at His full head of golden mane, as well as his majestic appearance with a long nose and wide mouth, and a wry smile came out.

"Iron Lion" Morani is an orc himself. And he is not a half-orc, but an awakened purebred lion.

"There are some things that I insist on." The God of Knights replied calmly, "That's all."

Morani nodded, thought for a moment, and then privately contacted the God of Justice Yorgardman and asked him to find the Lord of Glory to find out.

"I hate that guy!" Joel Gardman said unhappily, "Don't come to me for this kind of thing!"

Fortunately, among their group of friends, there is still one person whose status is barely enough to talk to the Lord of Glory.

The goddess of wealth tried to inquire with the Lord of Glory and asked his opinion on this matter.

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the human main god with circles of light condensed on the back of his head, and he said lightly: "Everyone has his own choice. As long as he is willing to bear the consequences, I respect this choice."

"Consequences?" The goddess of wealth was taken aback and asked hurriedly, but the Lord of Glory refused to answer.

However, the meaning revealed in His words is enough to make people worry.

"Could it be that if the God of Knights does this, it will bring huge trouble to himself?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask, "His followers are not many anymore. If he annihilates the most elite knights this time, he might Will it lead to a decline in divine status?”

"This is also his own choice." Morani sighed, "Over the years, he has been pressed by the God of Nobles step by step, and he has become increasingly embarrassed. Perhaps he is tired of this kind of life and is determined to fight a vigorous war. ”

"...So what do the human gods mean?" Sui Xiong looked at Weiye who was sitting next to him.

Wei Ye sighed and shrugged: "Don't ask me, I'm just a superintendent. How can I possibly know the really important things!"

"You look dissatisfied?"

"Yes!" A dark cloud suddenly appeared on Wei Ye's face, "This invasion of orcs is clearly premeditated to completely exterminate the entire human race. That Your Majesty is still sitting still. What is this? Something!”

"I won't be surprised by anything He does." Joel Gardman said with a sneer, "Oh, except for the good things. He even killed the Mother Goddess. Maybe now he feels that the senior who protected us is too annoying. It’s not surprising.”

Several gods looked at each other and sighed in unison.

If Joel Gardman's guess is correct, then the future of the God of Knights is really worrying this time!
