*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
A sacred white light appeared once more.
Fifty Guardian Angels were summoned by the Cleric Corps and immediately dispersed to the perimeter.
This time, the Guardian Angels did not completely spread out to actively attack the undead. Instead, they positioned themselves around the elite legion, forming a perimeter.
They served as both illumination and a simple, outermost defensive line!
With the reminders from both Tang Zheng and Kelart.
Everyone realized that the undead that had attacked them before were not attacking mindlessly but were being manipulated in a harassing strike.
This proved that their presence had already been discovered by the enemy behind the scenes. If they remained stationary, they would only be met with a ceaseless tide of undead!
The movement speed of low-tier undead was slow; they needed to keep moving to ensure they wouldn't be completely surrounded by a massive army of undead!
Clementine and Gagaran led the way at the very front.
Tang Zheng's Free Will squad, along with "Black" Pavel and "Red" Orland, were positioned at the rear of the formation to guard against any surprise attacks!
Under the faint light of the half-moon, the entire elite force moved quickly through the deep night, like a sailboat on a dark sea.
Only the fifty Guardian Angels hovering above their heads, emitting a sacred light, were like candlelight in a ship's cabin, preventing the entire troop from being completely swallowed by the darkness!
Wherever they passed.
A few scattered undead were swiftly eliminated by the members of the Holy Knight Order on the outer perimeter, without the Guardian Angels even needing to act.
At the forefront of the "Holy Knight Order" and the "Cleric Corps."
"Kelart."
Remedios pressed one hand on her sword hilt, preventing the holy sword from clanging against her armor as she moved. Her face was flushed with irritation.
"We're being too passive right now! Can't you use detection magic to pinpoint the enemy's location?"
Compared to this desperate flight!
Remedios would rather charge directly at the enemy. She didn't think they needed the cooperation of those demi-humans.
"Also, why are we cooperating with that adventurer named Tang? I don't think traveling through the night is a good idea. It will drain the soldiers' stamina."
"Especially your Cleric Corps!"
The Holy Knight Order had undergone years of training; their will and physique were the best among all the warriors in the Sacred Kingdom. Marching through the night was nothing to them.
But for the Cleric Corps, a group of magic casters, their stamina might not be able to keep up. Although magic casters relied on magic power for combat, stamina was still important.
*Pant, pant.*
Kelart's breathing was slightly ragged. After years of working as a secretary, this kind of military march was indeed something she was not used to.
"The members of the Cleric Corps who have mastered detection magic have already scouted the area with it, sister."
"Aside from the undead, no enemies were found. Right now, the other party is in the dark, while we are the ones in the open."
As Kelart marched quickly, she tucked a stray lock of her long brown hair behind her ear and spoke helplessly.
"Even so."
"Why cooperate with that Tang?" Remedios said, displeased.
In her eyes, her younger sister possessed the most brilliant mind in the entire Sacred Kingdom. She had always believed her sister was a gift from God to the Sacred Kingdom.
Intelligence, talent, and beauty!
Even Her Majesty, Holy Queen Calca, acknowledged these three gifts.
Remedios didn't believe that Kelart couldn't come up with a more appropriate solution.
"Do you know who our enemy is?"
Kelart's expression became secretive as she spoke softly, "It's a magic caster who can control a legendary undead, the 'Death Knight'—far more powerful than I am."
"Facing such an enemy head-on would result in too great a loss."
Publicly, Kelart was known as a caster who could use fourth-tier faith-based magic, but Remedios, being close to her, knew the truth.
Her sister could use the power of fifth-tier magic—she had reached the realm of heroes!
"But..." Remedios tried to speak again.
Kelart tilted her head up slightly. The corners of her eyes on her feigned gentle face narrowed, revealing a sinister look. "Sister, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"An opportunity to completely annihilate the demi-humans of the Abelion Hills. We need to make those demi-humans die for us, and then we can seize the chance to wipe them all out."
"If we can end the centuries of hatred between our country and the demi-humans, Her Majesty Calca will surely become the greatest Holy Queen in history... no... a Holy Queen that no one in the future can ever surpass!"
As she spoke.
Kelart reached for the magic belt at her waist, a hint of madness and fervor flashing in her eyes.
A faint whisper.
It sounded in Remedios's ear, causing her previously conflicted and dissatisfied expression to vanish without a trace.
On the other side.
The Sunlight Scripture unit was also advancing at a steady pace.
Captain Nigun was listening to a report from his subordinate.
"The scouting magic found nothing. The enemy likely possesses some means of anti-detection," a subordinate reported gravely.
Hearing this result.
Captain Nigun wasn't surprised, but his expression still turned ugly. He waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to keep watch, while his gaze fell in the direction of the Sacred Kingdom's forces.
"Troublesome."
He cursed under his breath.
Within the Theocracy, the Sunlight Scripture was a secretive unit that operated in the shadows, as they were primarily responsible for illegal activities and basic tasks like annihilating demi-human tribes.
Even though most countries were aware of their existence, cooperating with another country's forces like this...
...was a first for Captain Nigun.
*Perhaps this is a good experience, a new kind of training.*
Captain Nigun could only console himself with this thought. The most important reason they had to cooperate with the Sacred Kingdom on this mission wasn't just the threat of the undead.
It was also the awkward location of the hills!
There was another reason he couldn't tell anyone else—to ensure the demi-humans were not completely wiped out.
How laughable!
That's right, a unit responsible for annihilating demi-humans would one day have to protect them.
The corner of Captain Nigun's mouth twitched, but this was the joint decision of the Cardinals!
According to the Cardinals, the strategy of maintaining the demi-human presence in the hills was decided long ago.
If there were no demi-humans.
Then the hills would become unclaimed land, and the Slane Theocracy, the Sacred Kingdom, and the Re-Estize Kingdom would indirectly share a border.
Given the resources in the hills, no country would willingly give them up. This would inevitably lead to the possibility of a civil war among humans!
Rather than causing unavoidable losses for humans, it was better to leave this place to the demi-humans!
"The weak must always find ways to protect themselves."
Captain Nigun thought to himself, feeling both angry and helpless. This was a necessary strategic perspective.
This "weak" didn't refer to the demi-humans, but to them, the humans.
That woman, Clementine, was probably arranged specifically to deal with unexpected situations, like facing the Captain of the Holy Knight Order, Remedios.
In the rear of the formation.
