Free Web NovelChapter 965: Chapter 19: The Love Church’s Network of Relationships!
The casualties of the Wealth Church were so small they could almost be ignored.
This glorious victory instantly solidified Duncan’s authority, even the Golden Legion knights following him couldn’t help but show full respect, trailing closely by his side.
But Duncan’s expression was extremely solemn.
He didn’t even pay much attention to the Blood Mark Priest Vilaris’s corpse, merely ordering his attendants to quickly clean the battlefield, then casually turned his head to gaze in the direction of the distant mountains.
In a place where others couldn’t see, from a god-like perspective, a fleeting scarlet red glow appeared on Duncan’s projection page.
—"Avgolorosa - Ancient Shadow Dragon Lich (Dragon Worship Sect Leader) (Seven Star Silver Gray)." (Challenge Level 23)
Dragon lich.
And an ancient dragon transformed into a dragon lich.
It wasn’t its true form that appeared here, but rather it used projection-type spells to conjure a shadow-like avatar.
This terrifying dragon lich is one of the puppet masters behind Sambia, controlling the Dragon Worship Sect’s Purple Robes, holding the Soul Devourer orb, in the entire Giant Dragon Bay area, aside from Serqant where the Dragon Worship Sect hasn’t infiltrated, many places have been infiltrated like sieves by the sect.
"Outside are all tough characters!"
"If it weren’t for the Divine Spirit’s protection above, Mother of Great Bliss would have died eight hundred times already."
Duncan remained impassive, pretending not to have seen anything, while the ancient shadow dragon lich also had no intention of clashing directly with the church’s forces. Not until Duncan and his group had left did it dispatch the Dragon Worship Sect’s minions to secretly retrieve the bodies of the slain Suffering Church members.
Even as powerful as the dragon lich, it would bow to the True God’s church, because after dealing with the lesser ones comes the greater, once the church is close to collapsing, the True God’s avatar could descend anytime.
"Master."
"Should we find a way to steal the corpse of that Divine Favored?" a human mage with a lich-like appearance respectfully asked.
Avgolorosa’s shadow avatar remained silent, then slowly shook its head and said, "Do not create more trouble."
"Just collect some human warriors’ corpses for research."
The ancient shadow dragon lich pondered for a moment and said, "Restrict the followers to not act recklessly."
"At least not until the Wealth Church, Joyful Church, and Suffering Church showdown in Serqant is settled, let the followers not easily infiltrate Serqant."
"If they lose."
"Once the Suffering Church takes over Serqant, we immediately send people to infiltrate and recruit those business magnates."
"Also."
"Find a way to gather information on that human and send it to me."
"This person’s soul is very special!"
The ancient shadow dragon lich Avgolorosa holds the Soul Devourer orb, enabling it to see parts of others’ souls directly, and Duncan’s soul reflection is very powerful, far surpassing that of ordinary humans.
A while ago, the ’Dragon Frenzy Rebellion’ suddenly erupted.
The mastermind behind it was the Dragon Worship Sect.
In the Year of the Grub 1356 DR, due to the Dragon Worship Sect, localized dragon frenzy outbreaks occurred, affecting the Sea of Moon, the Dale, Comer, and surrounding regions.
It’s now also on the black list of the Church of the Gods.
It’s not advisable to create more trouble.
Meanwhile.
Duncan and his group had already returned to Serqant, however just as they were about to enter the city, a sudden thunder of hooves came from afar, and many Golden Legion knights immediately gripped their weapons vigilantly.
"Sir!"
"It’s heavy cavalry!"
Beside Duncan, a Golden Legion knight named Tap reminded him, "There must be no fewer than twenty riders!"
The civilization level of the Ferren continent is close to medieval Europe.
Elves do not have large-scale heavy cavalry, while human peripheral forces that can bring out more than twenty heavy cavalry are local big figures, which generally means at least twenty knight manors and the corresponding knight noble class.
Duncan pulled the reins, turned his horse to look at the nearby road.
As the thunder of hooves gradually approached, a brightly dressed lady galloped at the forefront, seemingly spotting Duncan clad in the splendid golden armor, she couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, "Your Highness Yasan!"
"It is Lord Duncan-Starfall!"
Lady Sestha White.
She rode a pale silver white horse, seemingly a steed raised by elves, wearing a luxurious noble gown, her light golden long hair streaming in the wind, the large and full bouncing with the horse’s galloping caused the surrounding knights to glance sideways, though some remained sightless, instead gazed at the exceptionally valiant Duncan nearby, their eyes suddenly brightened as if they discovered an unparalleled mighty general.
Some love beauty, some love mighty generals.
Some want both.
Lady Sestha White was flushed with excitement, her look made the surrounding knights slightly disappointed, clearly, that distant man had an uncommon relationship with Lady Sestha White.
But in fact, it was very common.
Duncan’s gaze passed Lady Sestha White, landing directly on a man clad in Purple Dragon armor, handsome, very burly, carrying a greatsword on his back.
— Yasan IV (Comer Crown Prince) (Legendary Warrior) (Lathander’s Devotee) (Five Star Gold)!
— Purple Dragon Knight Order (Three Star Gold)!
The reinforcements from the Comer Kingdom.
This country has a peculiar law prohibiting harm to cats, and at a lakeside town, there are unique winged cats.
As for rallying abilities.
Duncan admires no one but the Love Church people, especially the Goddess of Love - Shunni herself.
Near Serqant’s city gate, Lady Sestha White slowed down, slightly calmed her emotions, yet her charming face still showed a blush from the intense activity, addressed Duncan, who was valiant and formidable on his warhorse, with a lady’s courtesy, "Lord Duncan."
