scepter

Beck is a very serious person. Ever since he was rescued by Yannick in La Serena, he dedicated his allegiance to that handsome silver-haired priest. Sir, for Sir, do everything you can to dedicate yourself until the end of your life.

However, the reality often backfires. After staying with His Excellency Hill for a long time, he found that his abilities are the weakest. Not only can he not compare to Sophia, a swordsman who has both sword skills and magic, he can't beat Bart. A pure swordsman.

In order to better protect Lord Hill, Baker began to work hard to learn sword skills. No one knew how much sweat he shed and how much hardship he paid, but his goal was always only one, and that was to be a truly powerful swordsman. A guard who is qualified to stay with His Excellency Hill.

Baker has two sisters, Mary and Jane. They both escaped with Baker in La Serena, and were later placed in the imperial capital of the Garter Empire by His Excellency Hill. The two bought a house and a shop, allowing them to survive in the imperial capital, which also made Baker more loyal and devoted to His Excellency Hill.

In just a few years, he was still a bodyguard, but His Excellency Hill has grown from an ordinary priest to His Majesty the Pope.

This speed of promotion to the sky made others dumbfounded, but besides Baker's deep admiration, he also knew that His Excellency Hill is indeed worthy of this honor, at least he has never seen other priests own His Excellency Hill This kind of mind and ability.

What Baker regrets most is that the improvement of his own abilities cannot keep up with the speed of the promotion of His Excellency Hill.

When His Excellency Hill was still an ordinary priest, he might be able to comfort himself that he still had time to improve, but when His Excellency Hill had become the Pope, he felt ashamed of occupying the position next to His Excellency Hill.

His Majesty Pope Hill... deserves someone better and stronger by his side.

So when Sophia fell into a coma because of being controlled by a monster, Baker asked to stay and take care of her. He hoped to help Lord Hill share the matter instead of holding him back.

Sophia's situation is not very optimistic. From Mr. Hill and others, Baker knows the ins and outs.

It turned out that as early as when Sophia was rescued from the dark forest, the foreshadowing had already been laid. Everyone thought that the matter had ended smoothly, but in fact it had just begun. Her body was marked by a demon species, and she usually looked like an ordinary person. It's the same, and it won't become an undead, but in the Charlemagne Empire, Alfonso VIII and Lily, who were possessed by monsters, activated this mark and manipulated Sophia to assassinate Lord Hill.

In order to prevent Sofia from being controlled again, Lord Hill and the others put Sofia into a deep sleep. They could not find a way to save Sofia, because "Alfonso VIII" and "Lily" were dead, and Sofia still hadn't recovered. I don't know which monster planted the mark on Sophia, and how she was marked. The only way is to wait until all the monsters are eliminated, so that the mark in Sophia's body can be permanently dormant and no longer be activated. It is also the safest way.

So after returning from the Charlemagne Empire, Sophia has been in a coma, and it was in this situation that Baker came to the Earl of Marin's mansion and assumed the responsibility of protecting Sophia.

Of course, he has never slack off in honing his sword skills, and he looks forward to returning to His Excellency Hill's side one day.

But even if he wasn't by His Excellency Hill's side, he could hear and see some changes in things.

For example, the news that monsters are about to invade on a large scale in the imperial capital is spreading day by day.

For example, His Excellency Hill convened the third Continental Alliance Conference in the Papal State, calling for the unity of all forces that can be united in the continent, and the organization of allied forces of various races.

Like most people, Baker was apprehensive about the former news, but elated about the latter.

Whether they were commoners or nobles, many people in the Imperial City of Garter did not personally feel the threat of monsters. Their understanding of monsters only came from hearsay from people fleeing from other countries and official news.

But Baker is different. He came from La Serena. Although he has never seen a monster with his own eyes, he has seen the terrifying scene of the undead army attacking the city. He knows very well that the significance of the Allied forces to human beings How important, if it is possible for humans to defeat monsters, it must be under the leadership of His Excellency Hill - Baker firmly believes in this without hesitation.

The Allied forces were quickly organized, and under the call of His Excellency Hill, they were divided into three groups and rushed to three fronts. Baker wanted to join this war and do his part to fight against the monsters, but the Earl of Marin needed him. His Excellency Hill entrusted him with the task, so Baker could only regretfully listen to the news that the Allied forces were stationed in the border cities of the three countries, looking forward to the final victory of mankind.

The war started quickly, and the army of monsters quickly attacked the border of the three countries with lightning speed.

Your Excellency Hill followed Fa Sheng and others to the base camp of monsters, the Dark Forest, to complete a task that is related to the survival of human beings - that's what Baker heard. After that, he never heard a word about His Excellency Hill. information.

However, the development of the situation does not seem to be satisfactory.

I heard that monsters have captured La Serena.

I heard that Mariere, the front line of the Charlemagne Empire, also fell, and the Allied forces retreated to Stuarts.

I heard that the Principality of Santos is a little bit better, and the Allied forces are still holding on to Tumaco City.

I heard that the allied forces of the Garter Empire have withdrawn from La Serena, using the city of San Mar as their second line of defense.

Hearing these news, Beck's heart became heavy. He was concerned about the battle on the front line, and even more worried about the safety of His Excellency Hill. However, unlike Beck who was able to maintain a minimum of calmness, many people had begun to be unable to restrain their panic. Several small riots appeared in various parts of the imperial capital. Some people took advantage of the chaos to rob shops, and many nobles packed up their families and prepared to run away. Fortunately, these signs were all suppressed by Earl Loputo and Marquis Lane.

Today, Loputo and Ryan have become His Excellency Chris's right-hand men, and of course their titles have been promoted accordingly. Before His Excellency Chris left the Garter Empire, he entrusted political affairs to his cabinet advisers, and these people He lived up to his entrustment and fulfilled his mission perfectly during the war and turmoil.

However, Baker didn't know much about the arrangements of these superiors. He only knew that the current situation of the Allied Forces was very pessimistic. Even if Loputo and the others could maintain the superficial order, they could not suppress the floating hearts.

At this time, all kinds of rumors became more and more clamorous. Some said that the other two fronts had been defeated, some said that the monsters were about to attack the imperial capital, and some even said that the allied forces had completely failed. Many people were persuaded by such rumors. Confused, becoming more and more anxious, the commoners began to pack their things and leave the imperial capital with their families.

In fact, the imperial capital is already the place with the strictest scope. If you leave here, even if you flee to other countries in the east of the mainland, if the army of monsters continues to advance eastward, those who should perish will still perish after all, but people can't control that much, as long as they can escape They are willing to pay any price for the disaster in front of them.

The Earl's Mansion of Marin, those free people who signed a contract with the Earl's Mansion have already left a lot, and even Baker's sisters, Mary and Jane, also came to find Baker.

They had the same confusion as most of the citizens of the imperial capital on their faces.

"Baker, let's go quickly. I heard that monsters are coming, and they will eat all humans!" Mary still maintained a certain calmness. In contrast, Jane lost her composure. Revealed a strong panic.

"There is no place safer than the imperial capital." Baker persuaded them patiently. He is no longer the country bumpkin soldier who didn't know much about anything. He has been with His Excellency Hill for several years, and his ability to look at problems has also followed. Improve a lot.

"There is a solid defense here, and His Excellency Chris will not let something happen to the imperial capital."

"But they all said that the imperial capital is about to fall, and His Excellency Chris is not here at all, maybe he has already escaped!" Jane couldn't help but said, this is actually the opinion of some people.

"His Majesty Francis III is also here, Jane, will His Excellency Chris let his nephew have an accident!" Baker frowned and taught them, "Don't be fooled by those people's words, they are just like us, If you don’t understand the battle ahead, you start to make up and speculate based entirely on your own imagination! Even if you leave here, where do you want to go! At least there are mages and priests guarding here, and there are no other cities. Is it a safe place!"

Seeing the two trembling, Baker slowed down his tone: "Don't worry, dear, I firmly believe that the light is on our side, the Allies will win, and humans will be fine!"

In fact, when the news came that the city of Santa Mar was about to fall, Baker's confidence in this war was finally seriously shaken, not only him, but everyone in the Earl's Mansion, except the unconscious Sofia, Basically expressed worry.

Outside the Earl's Mansion, the imperial capital was even more panic-stricken. Some nobles strongly demanded to leave the city. For this reason, they clashed with the officials who were intercepted at the city gate, and both sides suffered damage.

The cabinet did not restrict civilians from leaving the city. Only the nobles were restricted. The reason was that once the nobles left, it would have an even greater impact on everyone's confidence. This made many nobles feel angry. Only their privileges have always been above the common people. When will it be their turn? They are bound.

The nobles even joined forces with the House of Elders, which had become a puppet display, to confront the cabinet, but the cabinet officials seemed indifferent. They resolutely carried out the orders left by Chris unswervingly. At the end of the confrontation, the nobles who were afraid of death had to withdraw In his mansion.

The amazing thing is that all of this gave the civilians confidence. Many people who originally wanted to escape from the city chose to stay. They prayed for the situation to improve, the monsters to be defeated, and peace to come.

It was a somewhat gloomy day, and Baker still remembers it very clearly in retrospect many years later.

Early that morning, the Earl's Mansion received even more pessimistic news. It was said that Saint-Mar City had fallen, the allied troops stationed there had been completely wiped out, and the monsters were about to attack, and those cruel monsters had already eaten many people. Everywhere he went, the towns were either reduced to cities of the undead or places where corpses were piled up.

To be honest, Baker didn't quite believe this kind of news, because there were even more exaggerated and terrifying rumors before, and it turned out to be just false rumors in the end.

It's just that the market potential of the rumor is huge, and many people will definitely choose to believe it.

The imperial capital is now in a mess everywhere, and the imperial guards responsible for maintaining law and order are already a little bit powerless. Once this news, whether it is true or not, comes out, it will be even more powerful. Pot of oil.

Now it's completely boiling!

Many people felt that the sky was about to fall, and the imperial capital was about to fall. They wandered around like headless chickens, not necessarily running outside the city, and some directly sneaked into their basements, as if they could hide in this way. After passing through the claws of the monsters, the streets were in chaos, and people flocked to the outside of the city one after another, blocking the road instead. No matter men, women, old or young, all of them had the panic before the doomsday on their faces, and there were cries and cries everywhere. , screaming, scolding.

Baker stood outside the Earl's Mansion, looking at the chaos. He just watched, and did not join their ranks, nor turned around and went back to hide in the mansion. Mary and Jane had already been taken to the Earl's Mansion by him. , and now they are hiding in the cellar of the Earl's Mansion with other people in the mansion.

A little girl was knocked over on the side of the road, and the people who were in a hurry to escape didn't seem to notice her. A carriage sped up and even crushed her under the horse's hooves.

Baker hurried forward and rescued the little girl.

The little girl's terrified crying could be heard next to her ears, Baker sighed, and pessimism began to spread little by little.

Goddess of Light, do you really want to abandon Olin Continent and all human beings?

Baker thought a little desperately.

He raised his head and found that at some point, the sky became darker and darker. Just now, he could barely see a little golden edge of sunlight hidden behind the clouds, but now there is not even a little bit of it. Is it some kind of ominous omen that even the sky is sinking like the chaos in the sky?

Baker's confidence in the Allied Forces was finally completely broken, and he now began to believe in the gossip that the Allied Forces had been defeated and the monsters would soon attack the Imperial Capital.

God, save us, save your people!

He shouted desperately in his heart, his eyes were filled with tears unconsciously, and the arms holding the little girl trembled slightly, as if in response to the arrival of the end, people soon noticed the unusual celestial phenomena, which were originally chaotic. The imperial capital was even more chaotic, shouts and screams filled everyone's eardrums, the timid trembled, the bewildered ran around, many people were desperate and confused, and completely lost their direction in their hearts.

God, don't abandon us!

Please let your brilliance re-illuminate the earth!

Your greatness will eventually destroy evil!

After an unknown amount of time, Baker felt as if he heard a voice.

An extremely familiar voice.

When the light clears away the fog of darkness, we can glimpse the face of truth.

We can see the face of truth, when the light is covered by darkness, all we can do is not wait, but pray.

The gears of fate and time move forward forever, and no one can stop its rotation, not even divine power.

The law bestows the greatest power on the gods, and the gods pass on the power.

Humans, elves, vampires, dragons.

Creations endowed with advanced intelligence, they are the true inheritors of the law.

So under the call of the law, the earth healed again, the sky stopped raining, all wars disappeared invisible, and the darkness was completely wiped out.

Everything will return to the right track, the time that has been messed up will eventually return to normal, and peace and tranquility will come again.

And you must know that law is everything!

this voice...

This voice...!

Lord Hill! ! !

Baker's eyes widened, and then a look of both shock and joy appeared.

He didn't know what this passage meant, but he heard Yannick's voice, and also heard the firmness contained in the voice, and there was an urge to obey and worship.

Before he knew it, Baker didn't even notice when the little girl in his arms was struggling to escape. He knelt down directly on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Not only he heard it, but many people also heard it. In the imperial capital, Baker was not the only one who could recognize Yannick's voice. Everyone stopped all movements, forgot all reactions, and listened to this voice blankly.

Fear and uneasiness are gradually appeased, the gray clouds are dispelled, the bright sun shines on the earth, the sky is bluer than the lake water, just like what the voice said, everything returns to the right track, and the time that has been messed up will eventually come to an end. Normalcy returns, and peace and tranquility return.

"It's the voice of His Majesty the Pope!"

"Has the monster been driven away?"

"It was His Majesty the Pope who drove away the monster!"

"Long live His Majesty the Pope!!"

"Long live His Majesty the Pope!!"

"Long live His Majesty the Pope!!"

Time has been disrupted from the moment they stepped into the dark forest.

The entire team was thus separated.

Chris doesn't know where the others are, or who Yannick is with, or if he's swept away into the turbulent flow of time alone.

But his hatred for monsters has increased a bit.

Because he was forced to be tied up with someone so annoying that he couldn't see anyone but the two of them.

Ansel Kapeln.

Of course, the blood prince was not very happy either.

When rivals in love meet each other, they are extremely jealous.

Although Chris and Ans didn't know the existence of the wheel of fate, with their wisdom and several points of time they had experienced before, it was not difficult to guess the truth that was closest to the truth.

They guessed that they might have fallen into some kind of trap of the monster, and this trap could make them go back in time and jump back and forth between different time points.

It is conceivable that the other people who were dispersed in the team probably had similar experiences to them.

But why did you go with this guy?

Chris pursed his lips.

At the same time, the blood prince did not hide the disgust on his face.

Even if they have acquiesced in each other's presence by Yannick's side, that doesn't mean liking, but just a compromise with the one they love.

However, the two still retain their basic rationality. They know that in this environment, it is impossible to work alone, and unity has a future. Therefore, they have to endure the nausea and walk side by side with each other, hoping to find a way to go back as soon as possible.

Before that, the two had already experienced many dangers, including "traveling" to an unknown time, being chased and killed by a group of ferocious low-level monsters, and "traversing" to the age of the gods, where they met the legendary Where is the god? The hundred-eyed giant Levi, who is also rude and tyrannical.

If we want to compare, the thrills they experienced will definitely not be less than Yannick and the others.

In front of them, the tall castle standing in the forest, the eerie environment, and the subtle voices in the distance, all of these show that the time they just "passed through" is a bit unexpected.

"Then... please let me heal first..."

They were far away, but thanks to their keen hearing, the mage in black and the prince of blood were immediately able to identify them.

This is Yannick's voice!
