Having noticed the multiple violent explosions in the rear, Jarvan IV thought it was the terrifying power of demons. While worrying about Li Lin, he had to urge the army to speed up its march.

This army marched lightly from Lunwall and its speed was not slow. It soon caught up with the Yin Xiduo caravan that had escaped before them.

Their destination was Tobitha, so they could travel together under the escort of the mechanical troops.

Li Lin deliberately chose a place not far from Jarvan IV's marching route, and he and Zuo Yin and Morgana did not wait too long.

As the ground beneath my feet vibrated, the mixed sound of galloping horses came from the end of the wide, moist, frosty dirt road.

Li Lin turned on the external light of the armor to illuminate the entire area so that Jarvan IV and the others could see this side clearly.

On the other side, Jarvan IV, who was talking to Barrett and asking him about the Illuminati's records about demons, was suddenly interrupted by his adjutant Alberk.

"Your Highness, look ahead!"

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Jarvan IV squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and found that there was an inexplicably dazzling light in front of him that dispelled the darkness. He immediately clenched his fist and raised his arm, making a gesture to stop marching.

In the dark night without stars or silver moon, this pure white light is extremely conspicuous.

The light that dispels the darkness...

Could this be light magic?

There are indeed Illuminati doctors who recently arrived in Tobysia with me. Their main task is to take care of the wounded on the front line.

Could it be that someone's magic has gone out of control?

Barrett stroked his white beard and was cautious.

As the biggest supporter of the Church of the Illuminators, the Bouvier family's head, Barrett, is actually well aware that there are many people in this sect who are proficient in light magic.

Within the church, these people are called "light wavers."

In fact, many upper-class nobles in Demacia are well aware of this.

But after all, this is a sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years and has been recognized by the royal family.

The Church of the Illuminators has many followers and has made significant contributions to the kingdom. Even Eldred reluctantly turns a blind eye to it, as long as the demon hunters don't catch them using magic.

"Your Highness, could this be a mages' rebellion?" Alberk's right hand had already reached for the sword at his waist. "Do you need me to lead some men to flank them from the woods on the side?"

At this time, Barrett, who was worried that it was an Illuminator, tried to smooth things over, "How about I take a few people over to check out the situation?"

"Lord Bouville, this is inappropriate!" Alberk's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that he would make such a proposal.

Jarvan IV had been in contact with Barrett since he was a child, and seemed to have guessed his thoughts. He couldn't help but frowned and thought about how to deal with it.

Now he no longer has extreme hatred towards mages, and he even wants to help his father abolish the Magic Code and end the persecution of mages.

If Jarvan IV and Barrett brought their own trusted troops, they would not have to worry about giving others any excuses.

But now their army includes not only the Royal Guards, but also the Fearless Vanguards and some elite soldiers brought by Barrett for support. It can be said that it is a mixed bag.

Maybe there is a family member who is quite radical towards mages?

As the crown prince, Jarvan IV must take this aspect into consideration.

The soldiers behind them had begun whispering, discussing what the bright light was.

Just as he was hesitating about what to do, Shyvana, who was riding in the carriage behind him, noticed something unusual in front of him and quickly walked to the front to inquire about the situation: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Because dragon blood can easily scare horses, Shyvana cannot ride a horse and basically has to deal with the food and fodder carts during the march.

Upon hearing her voice, Jarvan IV's eyes lit up, and he immediately dismounted and waved to her, "Shyvana, you've arrived just in time. Come and take a look ahead."

Shyvana gave him a puzzled look and looked in the direction he pointed.

When the light reflected into her deep red eyes, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "This is..."

"Is that a wizard in front?" Alberk asked anxiously.

Shyvana glanced at Jarvan IV from the side, and read something in his eyes, "Hmm... this light is not generated by magic."

But there is indeed a magical atmosphere ahead, the kind that makes me feel heartbroken...

She added in her mind, blinking her left eye slightly at Jarvan IV as a reminder.

"It's not magic, why would there be such a light at night?"

Alberk rubbed his face with his gauntleted hands, looking confused.

"Those illumination fruits from the Tranquil Forest can't possibly grow here, right? We can't possibly be unaware of this... Even if they really are illumination fruits, they're magical, right?"

"It's not magic, so why not go and take a look?" Barrett said with a bright smile. "I remember Little Jarvan said these flying robots also have lighting functions, right? Maybe they're the mechanical troops Li Linxin sent to support us."

Jarvan IV interjected, "Or perhaps, we don't need to go there."

As the light grew brighter and approached this side quickly, even Jarvan IV and Barrett, who had been laughing before, made preparations to deal with it and grasped the swords at their waists.

But when the light gradually came closer, they were surprised to find that the one emitting the light was a familiar figure.

"Li Lin?!" Jarvan IV couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of surprise, "Why are you here?"

But then, he immediately thought of some secret legends that Barrett had mentioned, which had been passed down orally from generation to generation in the Church of the Illuminators. The terrifying demon that had once ravaged Demacia and was compiled into poetry by bards could imitate the image of others.
