Chapter 60 In the Demonic Storm
"Weilin, old... let me tell you, when I was a child, I went to Windsor Castle for training. I stayed there for two and a half years. At that time, Earl Eagle personally trained us."
"By the way, at that time..."
Flora told about her glorious history in Windsor Castle, and Verin sat quietly on the small bench and listened.
According to his guess, this aunt should be thirty years old, but he did not dare to ask openly.
After observing the strange behavior of those knights just now, Weilin guessed that his aunt had a somewhat tough personality.
"Verin, is Elder Miller okay?"
"Ah. Oh, Elder Miller is very good. It's thanks to him that I'm here." Weilin, who came back to his senses, hurriedly replied.
"That old guy is actually still alive."
For a moment, Flora suddenly realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing.
Weilin stared at Flora with wide innocent eyes, looking at the embarrassed look on her face, and suddenly asked: "Auntie, why did you block this place?"
"He's not my damn big brother, otherwise he wouldn't be here. If I couldn't beat him, I really want to give him a good beating."
Upon hearing Weilin's inquiry, Flora couldn't help but clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
"Auntie, maybe... it's for your safety."
"Forget it, let me tell you in detail why there is this blockade."
Seeing this, Weilin listened attentively.
"Seven days ago, the Bishop of the Church of Life in the provincial capital of Cardro received the order from the goddess and discovered a demon in the Kent Territory... One-third of the troops of the 16th Silver Knights set off... But it was still a step too late. Thousands The first demon still passed through the Demon Gate, and at the same time thousands of people were infected and became half-demon.
Just when the situation was getting out of control, a legendary strong man from the Church of Dawn appeared and slapped all the demons and half of them to death with one slap.
You heard it right, with just one slap, thousands of demons and demi-demons turned into a puddle of flesh. "
"Auntie, since the Church of Dawn has taken action, it stands to reason that the demonic plague will be eliminated soon. Why do you still block such a large area?"
"The legend of the Church of the Dawn traces a powerful demon away from this place. The remaining half-demon and some demon worshipers are running around. Due to the limited force, most of them can only be wiped out first, and the rest can only be searched with a net."
"Have those devil worshipers and half-demon escaped?" Verin couldn't help but ask Flora when he thought of his territory.
"Don't worry, it's still within the blockade. With the church's priests and our knights here, it's impossible for those remnants to escape." Flora replied confidently.
"Now, can you go there?"
"No." Flora said bluntly, "Weilin, unless an order is issued to lift the blockade, we must either take a detour or wait where we are."
"Is that so?" Weilin lowered his head and began to think about whether to wait where he was or to take a long detour.
Flora looked at Weilin lowering his head and gently advised: "Weilin, I cannot disobey the order given by the leader himself. If..."
"Auntie, don't be embarrassed, I decided to take a detour."
Weilin thought for a while, raised his head and said to Flora, and then took out the morning token from his arms that the old man in gray robe had given him.
"This is a morning token, which contains the power of the morning sun. You may be able to use it to eliminate demons now."
Flora looked at the gray cross badge in Verin's hand. Although it had become obsolete after years of erosion, it was still awe-inspiring.
"Where did you get this thing from? I remember, I remember, I should have seen it before, why can't I remember it." Flora knocked her head and muttered to herself.
"Aunt, this is what I got unexpectedly from an ascetic of the Dawn Church. Don't worry, I robbed it." Seeing this, Weilin hurriedly explained to prevent his aunt from thinking too much.
"No, I should know the information about this gray cross badge, but I can't remember it." Flora shook her head and said with some confusion.
"Maybe it's unimportant information. I didn't deliberately remember it. It's normal to forget." Welin looked at Flora's somewhat painful look and comforted her.
"Maybe you're right."
Flora then gave up thinking, maybe she would think about it inexplicably later.
"Then, aunt, please accept it."
"This is what you got, and it contains the power of the morning sun. It is of great value. Are you going to give it to me like this?" Flora did not accept the gray cross badge.
"I don't need it now, but aunt, you will definitely be useful when you participate in exterminating demons. In that case, why do you want to stay with me?" Weilin looked at Flora and said slowly, "The most important thing is that you are my relative. , we share the same blood."
"For the family to be able to survive today, mutual support among clan members is essential."
"The year I became a pioneer knight, I relied on my family's influence to avoid a lot of trouble and danger."
Flora listened to Verin's words and nodded in agreement.
In the Kingdom of Ilia, there is no other family like them. One family has five earls, and each earl alone is comparable to an ordinary earl family.
In addition, other members of the Akers family also have considerable influence in the kingdom's army.
"You are right. Only by working together can we go further." Flora recalled that she was cared for by her elders in the kingdom's army and had more opportunities and paths than others. .
She had seen nobles from two different branches of the same family fighting to the death, but she didn't understand them at all.
"Then I will accept it first and return it when we meet next time." Flora solemnly took the gray cross badge, carefully put it away, and then said, "In the second half of the year, a military operation will be organized to attack the monsters in the Gray Wasteland. Revenge, this is a good opportunity to win military glory, so be prepared."
"Well, thank you auntie."
Afterwards, the two had another exchange, and after lunch, Verin submitted his resignation to Flora.
Outside the military camp, Raimondo commanded the caravan personnel to complete preparations and then leave the place according to the newly planned route.
……
In the dark night, in a jungle, hundreds of half-demons and a dozen devil worshipers gathered here, looking at the flickering light in the distance, and discussing in secret.
"Sir, there is only a small group of kingdom knights and thousands of nobles and miscellaneous troops in front of us. With our power, we can definitely rush out." A devil worshiper knelt on the ground and reported to a half-demon cautiously.
"Bah, this old man's meat is really unpalatable." The half-demon spat out the human flesh in his mouth and stared at the devil worshiper with his green eyes. "How dare you lie to me and eat you."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Being stared at by hundreds of half-demons, a dozen devil worshipers were sitting on the ground with their legs slumped, regretting very much why they were deceived by others and joined the organization in a daze.
