For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 73
At the same time, the holy kingdom, the king's capital, Imperian.

Helmut came to the Holy Cathedral as usual and met the long-awaited white-robed priest Drien.

"Lord Helmut." Derian saluted respectfully.

"How's the situation in the north?" Helmut's words were brief, sounding a little hasty.

Derian bowed his head immediately, "According to your instructions, the fanatic team has already crossed the Cold Winter Monastery, and it will take some time before reaching the rebel camp."

"Hmm." Helmut nodded slightly, "What about the other aspects?"

"Favaro has urged the two alien beasts near the ruins of Winter Springs to fuse... For this reason, the rebel army sent the main reinforcements led by the leader from the camp, trying to rescue their soldiers on the defense line of Winter Springs."

"When the news came, he had already set off for Icefield Town to meet with our rebellious rebels."

"Favaro is an outstanding ascetic monk, and his belief in the Lord is devout enough. I believe he can complete the task satisfactorily." Helmut took a light breath, "But after Icefield Town, he has to go to Cliff City once. .”

"My lord, you have made up your mind..."

"Since the main force of the rebel army has been mobilized, the camp of the rebel army is the target." Helmut walked steadily and spoke calmly, and he could not tell that he was going to attack the rebel army, "Send me an order, if the fanatic team meets The thieves from Cliff City are dispatched...you can give them a proper helping hand."

"Yes." Derian immediately bowed his head.

"Getting rid of the rebel camp will help advance the Kingdom of God's plan." Helmut smiled for a while, "As for the savior of the northern border...where else can he go after he is separated from the rebel army?"

When he spoke, his brows that were slightly frowned before also stretched out, and he looked a little more comfortable.

Derian didn't speak, but followed Helmut respectfully.

"By the way, Derian, I've been busy during this time, so I didn't pay attention... Where is our Cardinal Oliveira? What are you doing now?" Suddenly, Helmut thought of something and turned his gaze slightly , looked at Derian.

Hearing this question, Derian visibly froze, and even sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Drien?" Helmut's voice became serious.

"Oliviera, Cardinal Oliveira, she is currently in the penance hall." Derian held back the trembling of his body, and managed to say these words.

However, Helmut's reaction was obviously different from what he had imagined.

"In the penance hall again?" Helmut even sneered a little after hearing Derian's words, "She thought she was a peerless genius, and she could break through as long as she practiced penance?"

Cold sweat broke out on Derien's forehead, "This subordinate thinks that Cardinal Oliveira may just dodge for a while, so..."

Helmut's disdain is even more obvious, "It's a blessing for her to become the youngest 'stalker' in the Holy Church three years ago, my lord favors..."

"This time, she still wants to be promoted from 'stalker' to 'elevator'... It's ridiculous!"

"What does she think of promotion?!"

"Your Excellency is right, Cardinal Oliveira is wishful thinking..."

"What's more, even if she breaks through, she still has to practice her mind and spirit in the mighty grace of my lord, and if she is not careful, she will become a fanatic who serves my lord wholeheartedly..." Helmut sighed leisurely, "If this is the case, then all my previous actions will be useless instead."

Dereen didn't dare to speak again.

He had served Helmut for long enough, so he could clearly perceive that Oliveira's sudden penance disrupted Helmut's next arrangement, making him completely unable to start.

You must know that although the ascetic monks' retreat and penance, although they are isolated from the outside world's material enjoyment and power and glory, it also brings them an incomparable position within the holy religion-as long as the ascetic monks are in penance for a day, then even if it is The pope must not interfere with them.

Not to mention Helmut himself...just a cardinal at the moment.

In other words, Oliveira chose the most unlikely but safest path amidst the turmoil in the capital.

And once she can be promoted successfully, all the current predicament will disappear in an instant—becoming the youngest Sequence Five 'upgraded' means becoming a banner that people are willing to follow.

Although this is almost impossible, considering Oliveira's own talent and the fact that she is the youngest "stalker", even if Helmut keeps criticizing her, thinking that she is wishful thinking...

No one dared to directly deny this possibility.

It was the combination of these factors that made Helmut, who was holding his hand, suddenly lose his grip. Then he couldn't restrain his emotions for a while, and vented out of his words.

But Helmut recovered quickly.

But in the blink of an eye, he returned to his previous peaceful appearance, without any hint of anger inside.

Only Derian who followed him was left, and he was even more trembling.

And in the penance hall at the bottom of the Holy Cathedral, Oliveira, who had already changed into a sackcloth robe, sat cross-legged on a nettle cushion, with her eyes closed, and her breath was long.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl's pupils suddenly opened, and the blue pupils shone in the dark underground for a moment, before being swallowed by the darkness.

But her will was not engulfed by this darkness and pain.

Sean, the situation is getting more and more tense right now, you should be trying to do something, right?

Don't worry about me, these pains, these darknesses, no matter how deep they are.

I've been through it before.

So wait for me... wait for me to break through this darkness.

I will find you again.

Until then, no one will ever be able to separate us.

As the words sank in her chest, the girl closed her eyes, and her figure was completely swallowed by the darkness.

……

It was noon.

Outside Winterspring City, in the broken part of the southeast defense line, the light curtains above Xia En and the others' heads slowly closed, while the soldiers in the defense lines on both sides rushed into the trenches, ignoring themselves to seize the fortifications and consolidate the defense.

Seeing this scene, Xia En relaxed his arm, "Ha...it's really troublesome."

"I didn't expect these summoned creatures to fight back like this." Mendes nodded slowly beside Shane, "Fortunately, there is a spiritual storm."

The surrounding commanders, one counts as the other, are deeply convinced and nodded.

In the process of restoring the defense line just now, Bingkui and Hanpu cluster seemed to be stimulated and launched a full-scale attack on the defense line.

Fortunately, there was a spiritual storm, a team of capable people, and a considerable number of elite soldiers, so the line of defense could be taken back smoothly.

"However, the matter is not over yet." Seeing the light curtain above his head completely closed, Xia En squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "The next target is still waiting ahead."

There are the ruins of Winter Spring City, and it is also where the two strange beasts are located.

Hearing this, all the ability users and commanders present turned their heads to look in the direction of Winterspring.
