Time flies by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
If you count carefully, Annie brought Elena, Claire, Miria and Flora, a group of twenty-six former "Great Sword" warriors, which are now "Great Sword" warriors.
It has been almost a month since we arrived at Santo Labona City.
In the past month, only two major events that have been widely circulated have happened here in the city of Labona:
First, the former archbishop voluntarily abdicated and made way for his successor. Priest Vincent was elected by the archbishop and was officially crowned half a month ago, becoming the current new archbishop of the church.
Secondly, under the series of measures and reforms implemented by the new Archbishop Vincent, the church officially announced and established a church armed organization called the Knights of the Judgment of the Great Sword ten days ago, referred to as
'The Great Sword'.
It was also from that day on that those who were dressed in gold and red looked like they were tempered by molten iron. They sparkled in the sun and exuded a fiery and sacred light. They looked more like stars landing on the earth.
The female knight of the 'Judgment' armor, which is bright and mysterious, and every part of the armor has been carefully forged and engraved with runes, made with the most meticulous craftsmanship and is amazing, those 'giant swords', began to
For the first time, he settled in the Holy City of Labona with such a public, solemn and sacred status and became the subject of frequent discussions.
It is reported that the 'Great Sword' Judgment Knights are all female knights. They belong to the church and are an exclusive armed force dedicated to serving the Lord. They have the power to guard the church, guard Rapona, judge heretics and slay demons, etc.
, and in some aspects, its authority is even higher than that of the city guard?
Of course, those are not very important, and people don't care about those. What the citizens of Labona talk about is: it is said that the female knights who were judged by the 'giant sword' are all extremely brave.
Elite warriors, whose strength is even far superior to those terrifying monsters?
Whether that statement is true or not, many people didn't really believe it at the beginning.
Ever since!
On the first day of the establishment of the 'Giant Sword' Judgment Knights, as expected, there were actually a few reckless city guard leaders who were instigated and assigned by someone who did not know who they were, and they actually took the initiative to go and do that kind of thing.
Behaving in a provocative, sarcastic or even insulting way?
result……
According to eyewitnesses, the more than twenty female knights of the Great Sword Judgment Knights just randomly sent out the most ordinary, shortest, and most delicate-looking knight in the team, and then, that female knight
The knights didn't even need to use weapons, just with their hands, they beat the city guard men who thought they were noble, crying for their fathers and mothers, and finally fled back in defeat with broken hands and feet, and
Are you too embarrassed to come out to see people until now?
Naturally, it is not known whether those idiots who were instigated to look for trouble have lost their face, been dismissed from their posts, or are still recovering from their injuries.
Anyway, after the female knights of the Knights had established their 'prestige', no one dared to provoke them again, and the female knights of the 'Giant Sword' trial began to fulfill their duties logically.
Their duties include guarding the church and patrolling the city.
In the more than ten days since then, the city of Santo Labona has been calm and nothing else happened.
The series of radical measures taken by Archbishop Vincent after he took office and the strong demand for the newly established "Great Sword" Judgment Knights, apart from adding some conversation topics for the people of Labona, did not seem to have much impact.
The running of the city and people's daily lives.
So, gradually, people gradually accepted all that.
Otherwise!
Today, I don’t know what happened, but for some reason, there was a sudden burst of chaos at the gate of the outer city of Labona, the holy city?
As a result, citizens, tourists, business travelers, farmers and all kinds of traders and lackeys who originally planned to enter and exit the city stopped and surrounded the city gate and pointed, causing the chaos to spread faintly.
the trend of?
"Hello!"
"What are you doing huddled over there?"
"No gathering or making noise in the important city gate area!"
The commotion at the city gate naturally quickly attracted the attention of the two city guard captains, Geck and Siddur, who were on duty today.
"Step aside!"
"Get out of the way!"
"What happened up front?!"
Upon seeing this, the two people who saw the situation immediately and arrogantly pushed away the crowd outside, yelled and finally got out of the city gate, shouting and cursing.
"!?"
"That is……!?"
Then, of course, when I saw the same situation outside the city gate, when I saw the crowd outside pointing at the two beautiful girl warriors confronting the guards, I saw that the two people were extremely recognizable.
With their high-end costumes, both Gecko and Sydor couldn't help but feel the same way.
Because, what they saw were two guys wearing silver armor with blond hair and silver eyes. They were exactly the kind of female warriors with big swords!
After all, it's really easy to recognize.
Because they always like to carry huge swords as tall as a person, and then wear shining silver armor and white cloaks, plus their blond hair and silver eyes, the so-called 'silver-eyed witches' or 'silver-eyed witches'
Any normal person would be able to recognize the Slayer's appearance at a glance!
Therefore, when they saw two big swords, they suddenly came to their senses and finally understood why there were so many people surrounding here and causing a commotion.
"..."
"..."
However, it suddenly dawned on me that since there was a situation at the city gate, it definitely needed to be dealt with.
then!
Geck and Xiduo first frowned and looked at each other helplessly. Then, they briefly asked a few soldiers on duty. After learning the reason, they had no choice but to step forward and
He looked at the two female swordsmen in silver armor with a vigilant and anxious look on his face and said seriously:
"Both of you!"
"The rules of our Holy City of Rabona are: Great swords and demons are not allowed to enter!"
"so……"
"Unfortunately, we cannot allow you in."
"Please leave as soon as possible!"
Actually, this rule was originally loosened after Claire helped the church to kill the demon.
But recently, after Archbishop Vincent came to power and Claire and her "Great Swords" officially settled in Labona City, for some reason, that rule was strengthened again.
Therefore, although Gek and Sydur were not sure what the purpose was, since there were clear regulations from above, and since it was the order of the Archbishop and the Knights of Judgment, they naturally had no reason not to obey it.
"??"
"!?"
Seeing that they were still blocked, the two female swordsmen couldn't help but look a little surprised.
It seems that when they came here, their organization did not mention to them that such a thing would happen?
"Are you officers?"
"Well!"
"You see clearly, we are the warriors of the organization, what you call the big sword!"
"Are you sure you don't want us to go in?"
But accidents were unexpected. After the two female swordsmen looked at each other, one of them, a tall swordsman with a short hair and a short hair, had to step forward and began to negotiate with Gek and Siddur, trying to use their
I used my identity to threaten them, so that the two officers would compromise and let them into the city.
"Of course!"
It's a pity that Xiduo didn't buy it at all. He still reached out his hand to stop him without any courtesy and persuaded:
"An order is an order!"
"We don't care what you are, in short, you can't go in!"
"Please come back!"
As he said that, Sidor put on a serious face and stretched out his hand, signaling the two swordsmen to turn around and leave quickly, and stop messing around.
"you!!"
Seeing that the two officers, Sidhuo and Gek, refused to accept their offer, the female swordsman with a short hair and a short hair became angry and almost couldn't hold back and tried to force her way in.
"We are here to investigate the demon!"
"There may be demons lurking in your city. If we are not allowed in, do you know how many people will die by then?"
"Don't come begging us then!"
However, at any rate, she still remembered the iron rules of the organization and the rule that no harm could be caused to ordinary people, so she had no choice but to hold back her anger and gritted her teeth and warned again.
“…”
"..."
Hearing this, Geike and Xiduo couldn't help but be startled.
Obviously, they themselves did not expect that the two female swordsmen would say this, and they were really surprised and worried when they first heard about what the other party said about possible demons in the city.
"Feel sorry!"
"We have not received any reports of demons appearing in the city or demons eating people, nor have we received any official letter from the city hall or church inviting you to come."
"So, we can't let you in!"
However, after they hesitated for a long time and looked at each other, they finally made up their minds and resolutely refused to let them in.
"Anyway!"
"We have an order not to welcome any swordsmen or monsters into the Holy City!"
"You two, please come back!"
So, after looking at each other, Geck stepped forward without any hesitation and continued to persuade.
"you!!"
Seeing this, the stubby-headed female sword instantly became angry and almost took some decisive measures.
But luckily!
Before she could take action, her companions grabbed her and stopped her from some of her reckless behaviors against ordinary people.
"Both of you!"
"We are really here to investigate the situation of demons and help you fight against demons!"
"If you don't let us in, what will you do if there is a monster lurking in your city?"
"I'm afraid it's too late for you to regret it, right?"
Then, her relatively rational companion stepped forward and spoke out, explaining in a half-warning and half-threatening manner.
"..."
"..."
Hearing what the other party said, Gek and Sidhuo looked at each other again, feeling very embarrassed.
To be honest, a month ago, they might have turned a blind eye and let each other go to town.
However, the situation is different now, and they really don’t dare!
Even if the two people in front of them were telling the truth, and even if there might really be a demon lurking in the city, they had really received the order from above, and it was a strict order, and it was impossible to let the other person in under any circumstances.
"Step aside!"
"What happened ahead?"
finally!
At this moment, a dull and stern scolding sounded, and then, after a commotion behind the city gate, two female knights with golden armor and huge swords rode out from the road where the crowd actively gave way.
They were wearing the exquisite "Great Sword" golden and red gorgeous armor of the Judgment Knights. They also carried a giant sword behind them that was even bigger than the great swords of the great swords. Riding on their crotches were people wearing the same colors and
The war horses in style vests rushed over at a trot with such majestic strides that the onlookers were so frightened that they hurriedly backed away a long distance and made way for them.
"Well?"
"What happened to them?"
"Captain Gak?"
Then, he rode his horse to the city gate. After seeing the two big swords, although the visitor already knew the reason, he still asked as if he knew the answer.
"!!"
"Report!"
"Ai...Your Excellency Reina, why are you here?"
Seeing the female knight in golden armor who came forward and asked, Gek and Sidor were startled, and then they immediately saluted and explained immediately:
"You saw..."
"they……"
"They said there are demons lurking in our city, so they want to go in and investigate?"
"Look..."
To be honest, Gek and Sidor really don't want to argue with the two swords in front of them. After all, it is not their decision to let each other in. And now, since there are newly appointed officials with higher authority in front of them,
If they came to inquire, they would naturally hand over the troublesome matter directly to the other party.
"That's right..."
"okay!"
"Let me do it!"
After looking at the two unfamiliar swords again, Elena's eyes moved, she pondered for a while, then she got off her horse and strode towards the two female swords.
"Both of you!"
"I am the leader of the Church's Great Sword Judgment Knights!"
"You can call me Lena!"
"Excuse me……"
"What are you two doing here?"
Although Gek and Sidor had just explained the situation to her, Elena still asked knowingly and deliberately simplified her own name.
"..."
"..."
Seeing the person coming, the two female warriors with big swords looked at each other in surprise.
Then, they all looked at Leya attentively, and then frowned and felt for a while, but it seemed that they didn't find anything important, and then asked angrily:
"Are you the one who belongs to the newly established Judgment Knights of the church?"
"I seem to have heard about you."
"She too?"
While speaking, the short-headed sword pointed at the other 'giant sword' behind Elena and asked.
"Yes."
Elena nodded, there was nothing to deny.
"..."
"..."
After receiving an affirmative answer, the two female swordsmen looked at each other and hesitated for a while, and then thought about it. They couldn't tell the reality of the female knight in front of them, so of course they didn't flinch, but turned their attention to her again.
Elena repeated what had just happened, hoping that Elena would be able to make the decision to let them enter the city of Santo Labona to investigate and eliminate the demons that might still be lurking.
"terribly sorry!"
"I don't recall we've had any recent commissions from organizations..."
"Moreover, we have not received reports of demons eating people so far. Besides, even if there are, we are sure that we can kill them and guard this place."
"so……"
"You two, please come back!"
"Our holy city has regulations that prohibit swords and demons from entering?"
Elena said with a complicated mood, and, for some reason, she always felt that things were not as simple as the two of them said!
"you sure?"
Unexpectedly, after changing two groups of people, the result would still be the same. Regarding this, the two female swordsmen couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"snort!"
"If you don't go in, you won't go in!"
"Don't regret it!"
However, after a stalemate for a while, and seeing that there was no room for change, they had no other good solution except to put down their harsh words and glare at Elena bitterly before turning around and leaving in annoyance.
Of course!
It remains unknown whether they have really given up, whether they are planning to leave the city gate first and continue to look for other ways to enter the city, such as disguising themselves or climbing over the city wall.
"..."
"..."
And it was only then that Gek and Sidor breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two swords being 'persuaded' by Elena to leave.
"correct!"
"Your Excellency Elena!"
"I wonder if you know about Claire's situation?"
"We have looked for her several times, and we haven't seen her for a few days."
Then, thinking of something, seeing Elena mounting her horse and preparing to leave, Sidor hurriedly caught up and asked about Claire's current situation.
"..."
However, Elena did not answer immediately.
Sitting astride the war horse, she first looked back at the other party and took a deep look. After a long time, she sighed quietly on the horse and said:
"Claire..."
"She has a mission and is not in the city at the moment."
"Of course you can't find it."
"but……"
"If you have anything to do, you can leave her a message. She will naturally read it when she comes back."
After dealing with the two of them, Elena came to Miria with her and looked at each other. Then they all mounted their horses and shouted, asking the soldiers to disperse the crowd who were still watching and pointing. Then they all turned around.
Walking back towards the city.
"Milia..."
"What do you think?"
"Something's not right!"
"They both didn't tell the truth just now!"
"yes……"
"I can see it too..."
"From this, it seems that the organization is still targeting us!"
"No problem!"
"The situation now is different from when we first came here. They can't make any trouble."
"Too!"
"Then, let's go back and take a closer look?"
"good."
In this way, after Elena and Miria discussed side by side for a while, they stopped talking and just accelerated towards the city.
And from their conversation, it is not difficult to know that they do not believe what the two big swords said just now!
Because, currently, there are twenty-five of their ‘giant swords’ in the holy city of Labona. If there is really a demon lurking, wouldn’t they know it?
but……
Since the other party said that, they believed it and sent someone to investigate it carefully when they went back!
Of course, in addition to checking for monsters, they will also investigate some of the people who oppose them to see if anyone has colluded with the organization or something.
