"When will the reinforcements from the Holy See arrive?"
Hiding in the dark and damp cave, the mercenary Kaidan couldn't help asking.
He and Ronis had been waiting in the cave for several days, but still no reinforcements from the Holy See arrived, and Kaidan's heart sank little by little.
In front of Kaidan, Ronis let out a sigh: "I don't know... Maybe they are on their way."
Kaidan shook his head, he should have thought that those Erathians are so unreliable, he should not waste time waiting for reinforcements, if he had acted sooner, maybe Tazis would have been killed by now. The mage was rescued.
"Don't worry, I assure you, the priests will not sit idly by the infidels of the City of Light. Perhaps they will come with heavily armed troops soon." Ronis saw Kaidan doubts, and promised him immediately.
"hope so."
Seeing this, Kaidan didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and walked out of the cave.
"Wait... You'd better not act rashly, otherwise it may cause us trouble." Ronis couldn't help but reminded.
"Don't worry, I won't enter the city, just pick some fruits nearby, I don't want to eat those dry food anymore." Kaidan waved his hands without looking back.
As Kaidan said, when he was hiding in the cave and waiting for reinforcements, the only thing he could eat was the dry food.
With Kaidan's ability, it is not difficult to catch some wandering animals nearby, but there is a very serious problem that plagues him. There is no longer a flame in the world, and even if he catches an animal, he can't burn it with flames.
Kaidan wasn't a savage, and he wouldn't touch the raw meat unless he was dying of starvation.
After eating dry food for a few days, Kaidan finally couldn't take it anymore. He was accompanied by wine and meat on weekdays, but he didn't want to continue to eat these dry food that had no taste at all. Ronis didn't feel anything about this matter. Whether it was a mage or a priest, they paid great attention to the tempering of the spirit, and did not care about the pleasure of appetite.
After leaving the cave, Kaidan searched nearby.
Since the flames of the world have been silent, the sky has become dark, Erathia has fallen into a long night, the whole world has been shrouded in darkness, and only the rare starlight is still guiding the way in the sky.
Under the guidance of the starlight, Kaidan finally found an apple tree with his dark vision. On weekdays, Kaidan might disdain those fruits, but now, it has become one of the few delicacies.
Kaidan did not pick all the apples. Although the place was remote and no one else would pass by for a long time, Kaidan still left a small number of apples on the tree and only took what he wanted to eat during this time. .
Back in the cave where he was hiding, Kaidan was preparing to distribute the apples to Ronis who stayed here, but the priest disappeared.
Kaidan did not shout, but looked alert. His location was not safe. If something happened to Ronis, rashly shouting would only make the enemy aware.
Just as Kaidan was about to examine the traces carefully, a cold light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes.
A slender blade appeared in front of Kaidan. The blade was ordinary in texture, not even a treasure, but contained the power to tear everything. Even Kaidan couldn't help shrinking his eyes. It was not the blade itself that was really strong, but the person holding the blade behind him.
Facing the sudden attack, Kaidan hurriedly waved his sword to meet him, but could not stop him even for a moment. His blade was split in two, and the man's blade pierced his chest. As a legendary mercenary Kaidan, he couldn't even take a single move from that person.
The apples that Kaidan brought back were scattered all over the place. Seeing that he was about to die under the sword of the man, he heard an exclamation in his ear.
"Master Saint, please be merciful, he is my companion!"
Despite the urgency of the matter, Kaidan still recognized the voice that belonged to Ronis.
With this relationship, the saint stopped the blade in his hand, and the tip of the sword was less than a finger away from Kaidan's body. Behind the saint, Ronis was looking over with a worried expression.
"What are you doing..."
Kaidan, who was still in shock, quickly stepped back, and only after a few steps did he stand still. From the saint, Kaidan felt the power of easily killing himself, and he was definitely not the opponent of the person in front of him.
There is also a gap between legendary creatures. The gap between the legendary apex and the ordinary legend is so large that it even exceeds the first-order and seventh-order creatures. The promotion of legend does not mean the end, but more like a beginning. Although Kaidan and the saints are the same as the seventh-order legends, their strengths are very different.
The saint has a square face and a firm face. After putting down his sword, he looked at Ronis again: "I already know the information here, and this time I will clean up the heretics here."
Seeing that the saint didn't care about the secrets of the people in the city radiating light, and it seemed that he would not compete with himself for credit, Ronis asked again, "Are you the only reinforcement this time?"
The saint glanced at him, and his words were full of confidence: "Isn't that enough?"
Ronis didn't ask any more questions, the saints are already the top power of the Holy See, and even the angels are not necessarily their opponents, so he respectfully said: "Then trouble you, may God bless us."
Kaidan seemed to have heard something, and hurriedly asked: "Wait, what are you going to do with those heretics?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, it is to judge their souls. From the moment they forsake the belief of the Erathians, they have been rejected by God." Saint Dandan said.
He picked up Kaidan's broken sword and stroked the crack on the blade with his hand. The broken sword was immediately intact, not even a trace was left, and it was impossible to see that it had been broken before.
After restoring the broken sword, the saint handed the blade to Kaidan. Kaidan was stunned for a moment before taking it over.
Kaidan was not in a daze because the saints restored the blade, but he heard the methods of the saints to deal with those infidels. If he guessed correctly, the people in the city of light may not end well, and they will be judged by the saints.
From the previous battle, Kaidan had a glimpse of the strength of the saint, and even the legendary creature could not stop his sword. Kaidan believed that the man definitely had enough power to completely destroy everything in the city.
Among those heretics was Kaidan's benefactor, the mage Tazis, who had escaped from Bracada. In any case, Kaidan has to rescue him from the city.
Just as Kaidan was silent, the saint was already heading towards the City of Light under the leadership of Ronis. Upon seeing this, Kaidan immediately followed.
