Chapter 60: The Devil's 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 looked at Flora with an embarrassed look on her face with wide, innocent eyes, 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 here. The remaining half-demon and some demon worshipers are fleeing in all directions. Due to the limited force, most of them can only be eliminated 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 advised gently: "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 light. 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? I remember, I remember, I should have seen it before, why can't I remember." Flora knocked her head and muttered to herself.

"Auntie, 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 of it again inexplicably in the future.

"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 two noble children from different branches of the same family fighting to the death, and she didn't understand it at all.

"Then I'll take 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 action will be organized to retaliate against the monsters in the Gray Wasteland. This is a good opportunity to win military merits. You should be prepared."

"Yes, thank you, aunt."

Then, the two had another exchange, and after lunch, Weilin submitted his resignation to Flora.

Outside the military camp, after Raymondo commanded the caravan personnel to complete the preparations, they left here according to the newly planned route.

...

In the dark night, in a jungle, hundreds of half-demons and a dozen demon worshippers gathered here, looking at the flashing lights in the distance, and secretly discussed.

"My lord, there is only a small team of kingdom knights and thousands of noble miscellaneous troops ahead. With our strength, we can definitely rush out." A demon worshiper knelt on the ground and reported carefully to a half-demon.

"Bah, this old, stale meat is so disgusting." The half-demon spat out the human flesh in his mouth and stared at the devil worshippers with green eyes, "Dare to deceive me, I will eat you."

"I dare not, I dare not."

The dozen devil worshippers stared at by hundreds of half-demons sat on the ground with their legs limp, regretting why they were fooled by others and joined the organization.
