Little Priest's Cat Diary

……

After the Sea Peoples appeared in Porto Yas, under the leadership of the ambitious female Shah, they came down the east coast of Porto Yas, killing all the way.

They have strong warships.

They have powerful fighters.

Their weapons are far sharper than the countries on the mainland.

They were invincible along the way.

Genocide massacre.

Raid slaves.

Their hands were covered with blood, and they stepped on many bones to develop and grow their own nation.

They killed King David.

They captured the royal city that symbolized the glory of Portoyas.

They feel that they are invincible.

So, they were so proud that they couldn't wait to break into the interior of the mainland before they could gain a firm foothold.

Then, the Sea Nation and their leader Shah, who were extremely confident, suffered their first defeat since they invaded Porto Yas.

After going deep into the inland, they lost the cooperation of the warships, and their combat effectiveness was greatly weakened.

Coupled with the fact that the front line was stretched too long, Portoyas' cavalry easily cut off their supply route.

The Sea People's Army, which was in urgent need of food and grass, fell into a trap set by Sardis and was attacked from three sides.

A fiasco.

The female Shah, who had to admit that she had lost this game, decisively chose to withdraw her troops.

The army of the Sea Peoples quickly withdrew to the south and retreated to the Fadagaro River.

The Sea People's Army, who no longer had to worry about supplies, regained its footing with their sturdy warships.

The female Shah held her breath and wanted to regain her strength, and fought back fiercely with the Portoyas cavalry unit that had been chasing them all the way.

However, before she could rectify her army, the Portoyas cavalry retreated quickly and actively, without giving them any chance.

Although the female Shah who failed to fight back was extremely annoyed, this defeat also calmed her down, and she realized that the current sea people's army was no match for the Portoyas in terms of combat effectiveness on land.

She admitted that this time, she was indeed the one who took the plunge.

Moreover, she also underestimated the last prince of Portoyas.

After all, killing the king of Portoyas one after another and capturing the crown prince gave her the illusion that the royal family of Portoyas was nothing more than that.

Then, she was slapped harshly by the prince.

After confirming that it was impossible for the Podoyas army to attack, the female Shah led the army back to the royal city.

She took a deep look to the north before leaving the Fadagaro.

The name Sardis.

She remembered.

She will definitely pay back the humiliation she suffered this time.

……

This battle caused the sea people to suspend their invasion of Portoyas.

Bounded by the Fadagaro River, the Sea Peoples occupy one-third of the territory southeast of Portoyas, including the royal city.

The territory in the northwest is still guarded by Prince Sardis of Portoyas.

On the other hand, most of the cities on the eastern coastline were destroyed by the people of the sea, and the coastline was basically in a state of barrenness.

Therefore, in real terms, the territory of Portoyas under the rule of Sardis is also slightly more than one-third.

Even with this big victory, Portoyas is still seriously injured.

A third of the country fell into the hands of the invaders.

But in any case, Sardis led the Portoyas army to counterattack and defeat the sea people, which not only curbed their invasion, but also greatly inspired the spirit of the Portoyas people.

The invincible aura of the Sea Peoples was shattered by Sardis in one fell swoop.

…………

After defeating the Sea People, Sardis sent an order to Shult City in the north.

Under his order, General Shalam led the Knights of the Gun to leave the city of Schulte and go south, stationed in the middle, north of the Fadagaro River.

He could react immediately to the slightest movement of the Sea Folk on the south bank of the Fadagaro River.

When Shalam arrived in the city with his army, Sardis and Mia set off to return to Shult City.

When they left Shult City, they only brought a few thousand cavalry with them.

Now returning to Schulte City, the number of people has doubled.Most of them were Portoyas warriors who had been rescued by Mia when she attacked the food transport team of the Sea People.

On a sunny day, Sardis and Mia returned to Shult City.

The gates of the city are already wide open.

The people who learned of the victory waited for a long time, and finally they waited for the return of their crown prince and young priest.

On this day, everyone is empty.

Almost all the people flocked to the avenue, lining the avenue to welcome the triumphant return of the soldiers.

The two sides of the spacious road leading from the wide open city gate to the City Lord's Mansion were already crowded, and the people even rushed out of the side of the road tens of meters away from the city gate.

Sardis and Mia rode in front, followed by a group of cavalry in an orderly manner.

There were deafening cheers from the people on both sides.

The cold winter has long passed, and now is the time when the flowers are in full bloom. With cheers one after another, countless delicate and beautiful petals are thrown to the triumphant heroes.

The sun was shining brightly and the fragrance of flower petals filled the air.

Sardis and Mia, one on the left and the other on the right, rode slowly on the avenue.

The sunlight falling from the sky seemed to envelop the two walking side by side in a beam of light.

The breeze brushed by, whether it was pure golden long hair or light golden hair, they were all shining brightly under the bright sunlight.

The scene of the two walking side by side, among the colorful petals, is like a beautiful scroll.

The young crown prince is heroic, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He didn't seem to care about the deafening cheers and the falling petals.

The smile on the corner of his mouth was bright and reckless. As he rode forward, he occasionally raised his hand and waved lazily to the people beside him.

But in the next second, he turned his head to the side and talked with Shao Ji who was walking side by side with a smile.

That attitude, as if this victory is no different from countless previous victories, is a matter of course for him.

For the people of Schulte City, that was an extremely familiar demeanor.

The appearance of His Highness Sardis is the same as after defeating the Stonians every time.

The originally uneasy hearts of the city residents suddenly settled down at this moment.

The incomparably powerful sea nation in the legend is actually no different from the Ston people, isn't it?

His Highness can defeat the Ston people, and of course he can also defeat those damn invaders and drive them out of Portoyas.

Not long ago, those suppressed emotions were swept away, and they cheered heartily, venting all their uneasiness.

What they cheered was not only the name of Sardis, but the people also cheered for the young priest who walked side by side with Sardis.

There are mixed opinions about the fact that Shaoji, who is the successor of the high priest, personally led the army to participate in the war.

Some people think that the high priest is the representative of God, and he should not participate in the battle himself, let alone be stained with blood and life.

Completely different from the previous high priests, this young priest has never been willing to stay in the temple peacefully, listening to the voice of the gods, and praying to the gods.He refused to put on the gorgeous costumes and accessories that symbolized his noble status, but chose to wear a battle uniform on the battlefield.

Many people complained about Mia's behavior style.

They believed that Mia's behavior had trampled on the holiness and majesty of the high priest, and it might be difficult for her to assume the position of high priest.

But in the city of Schulte, there is no such talk at all.

The vast majority of people in this city respect this young priest from the bottom of their hearts.

The former Pangwe people clearly remember who took them away from the erupting volcano and brought them to a new place of survival.

The former people of Dimez City will never forget, at the moment of crisis when they were attacked by horse thieves and everyone was panicking, who descended from the sky to protect them and let them reach Schulte City safely.

They did not die, let alone live a life of displacement.

It was His Highness Shaoji who gave them a new life.

Therefore, no matter what path His Highness chooses, they will unswervingly believe in him and follow him.

Just like at this moment, Mia walked all the way, and the cheers of the people for him were no less than that of Sardis beside him.

However, the cheers from the crowd did not make Mia happy.

Although he had to wear a smile on his face when facing the people, he was worried in his heart.

The closer he was to the Sea God Temple, the more nervous he became.

You know, more than a month ago, when he left the Sea God Temple, he sneaked away at night.

As for the culprit who tricked him into sneaking away...

Mia glanced at someone beside her, and sighed inwardly.

Forget it, don't pass the blame on to others.

After all, Sardis didn't force him, and the decision to sneak away was still his own after all.

You still have to take care of your own troubles.

He was restless here, and Sardis, who was beside him, looked over.

"What? Don't dare to see Antiste."

he laughed.

Knowing Mia's temperament well, Sardis could guess at a glance what Mia was worrying about at the moment.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you go back to the City Lord's Mansion with me first, check the situation, and then go back to Sea God Hall?"

I also know that I suddenly abducted Mia, and according to a certain high priest's overprotection of his little apprentice, he must wish to directly hit him with a shield.

But Sardis doesn't care, he even wants to abduct the little young priest back to his city lord's mansion first.

——I just don't know if he really did that, would Antiste kill the dignitaries of the city lord's mansion in a murderous manner right after him.

Mia's heart skipped a beat.

But after thinking about it, he still shook his head.

He said: "If you hide on purpose, it will only make the teacher more angry."

Sooner or later, we will meet each other. Let's die early and be reborn sooner.

Ok……

Otherwise, he acted like a baby shamelessly?Maybe it can calm the teacher down a bit?

Mia thought about it.

"In this case, I will accompany you back."

Seeing the young man's worried look, Sardis reached out and patted Mia's head.

Compared to Mia, Antiste must be more angry with him.

If he goes with you, you can draw the firepower to him.

Although he thought that guy was difficult to deal with, Sardis didn't care about being sprayed by that guy's poisonous tongue.

If that guy went too far out of anger, maybe he could make Mia feel guilty and turn to defend him?

Mia maintained her appearance in front of Antiste, and just imagining it made him feel at ease.

A certain big lion thought so happily.

Walking all the way and talking, the group finally walked through the city avenue welcomed by the crowd and entered the central city.

The central city, where important buildings such as the City Lord's Mansion and the new temple are located, cannot be entered by the public without authorization.

Therefore, everyone could only stand outside regretfully, watching them leave.

It wasn't until they were completely out of sight that the crowd slowly dispersed.

When Mia and the others came to the Temple of the Sea God, Antiste had already led a group of knights to wait for a long time in front of the huge arched gate of the temple.

When he saw Mia's figure from a distance, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

But then, he saw Sardis who was clinging to his little apprentice.

Antiste narrowed his eyes slightly.

Looking at the teacher standing in front of the temple, Mia's heart pounded.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still forced himself to be calm and got off the horse with Sardis, and walked towards the people waiting for them.

The knights of the temple were slightly surprised by the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It stands to reason that the crown prince should return to the City Lord's Mansion first. You must know that General Nadia and other generals are waiting outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting to welcome him.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince came to the temple first.

I just don't know how long His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have to wait for General Nadia and the others.

However, what everyone couldn't figure out was that, knowing that General Antiste would get angry, His Royal Highness still looked at General Antiste with expectant eyes... It was as if he was expecting Antiste It is really confusing for the general to do something to him.

Antiste's expression was very calm, and he couldn't see the slightest clue. He didn't look at Sardis at all, and his eyes just fell on Mia.

He carefully looked at his disciple who had returned from the war.

After running around on the battlefield for a whole month, the young man has faintly changed at this moment.

In the breath around him, there was a hint of sharpness in the peace.

He looked a little thinner, but his expression was a little more determined.

After the baptism of war, the boy has changed a lot.

However, nothing seems to have changed.

Those azure blue eyes are still as green and tender as new green leaves, like the vast sky, like the boundless blue ocean.

He walked through the flames of war, but he was still not contaminated by the dust of the flames of war.

A smile flashed across his lips, Antiste's eyes softened, and he stepped forward.

He came to Mia.

Just when Mia was about to speak—probably when she wanted to take the initiative to apologize.

Antiste leaned over.

He lowered his eyes, bowed his head slightly, and pressed his hand on his chest.

He bent his left knee and knelt down in front of Mia.

Miya's eyes widened in astonishment.

"teacher--?"

He yelled out.

Fortunately, before he opened his mouth, he reacted suddenly and lowered his voice instantly, so that only the two of them and Sardis standing beside him could hear the voice.

"Your Highness Young Priest, please remember that High Priest Itit has been martyred, and it is Antiste who is in front of you now."

The boy's hand that wanted to help Antiste froze in mid-air.

He stared blankly at the teacher kneeling in front of him.

"……teacher?"

Antiste looked up.

He looked at Mia with a slightly flickering gaze.

During the time Mia left, he finally understood that the 'High Priest Itit' was the bondage to this child.

During the time he came to Schulte City, he had been helping the child make decisions—whether it was staying in the Sea God Temple or fulfilling the responsibility of succeeding the High Priest.

However, the decisions he made for Mia were not what the child wanted.

Mia did not reject him just because she respected and loved her teacher.

Long ago, he had told Mia to let Mia do whatever he wanted.

He once hoped that this child would not be bound by the secular world and tradition, but now, he has become the biggest constraint on this child.

He was even worse than Prince Sardis in giving the boy the freedom to choose what he wanted to do.

He didn't want to continue to restrain Mia like last time.

Therefore, he must really abandon the identity of 'High Priest Itit' and stay by this child's side as 'Antiste'.

"Your Majesty."

Kneeling on one knee in front of Mia, Antiste raised his head, his blue eyes reflected the same blue eyes of the boy as himself.

"I am Antiste, your guardian."

"I am the sword in your hand, and I am the shield that exists to protect you."

He raised his hand and held Mia's hand hanging in mid-air.

"No matter what path you choose as High Priest."

"Wherever you lead the temple."

"I will follow you unswervingly."

He bowed his head and kissed the boy's hand.

"In Sepul's name, I swear."
