Adrian, who was in the midst of it, seemed to have his soul cleansed by the hymns and was reminded of the teachings in the Bible.
Life and death are actually not important. Everywhere is the Lord’s pasture. These sacrificed townspeople have simply returned to the Lord’s arms in advance.
After the hymn ended, Anruk looked around at everyone and spoke softly.
"The great eternal god [Ella] will be with you and me!"
Perhaps the words of the archbishop worked, or perhaps the light of Ella had already shone on this border town, and the chaotic scene outside the church was quickly subsiding.
Anluk was quite surprised and walked to the window, gazing down at the northwest side of the entire harbor town. The fire burning above the granary had been extinguished, and the townspeople were being led away from the fighting area in an orderly manner.
He could not see the figures of the two wizard apprentices directly, but based on the trajectory of the gray crows in the sky, Anluk quickly determined that the two had fallen into trouble and were being driven away from a crowded area.
The route seems to end at the pier in the harbor town?
"Who is in charge of command at the front line now?" Anluk asked in surprise.
"It should be Danny and Pastor Albert." Adrian replied.
The archbishop thought about the two priests' daily performance. He did not remember that they had such outstanding command ability. Could it be that a captain of the guards in the harbor town made this judgment? Thinking of this, Anluk could not help but think of talents, so he asked the guards at the gate to go and ask.
Two or three minutes later, a guard pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at Adrian standing aside and responded with a strange expression.
"Reporting to the Bishop, according to the militia responsible for the evacuation, now is..."
"Now it is Pastor Adrian who is giving the order!"
Hearing this, everyone present turned their eyes to Adrian, who was also confused as he had always stayed in the church and had never gone out.
Anruk's face immediately turned ugly. During the more than ten years he served as a bishop in Nordland, he had encountered wizards who were proficient in shaping magic, and he was well aware of how much trouble these people could cause.
Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Adrian seemed a little flustered and took a step back, but he quickly reacted and stretched out his hand to cast a ring of divine spell [Holy Word: Shield]! Witnessing the holy shield radiating the glory of divine spells condensing in the void, the priests present immediately dispelled their doubts.
But then a chill ran up from the soles of my feet to my brain.
If Adrian is really here, then who is in charge of the front line now? ...
The commander that the priests had been thinking about was currently sitting in a temporary base in the northern part of Harbor Town, sipping tea and listening to the reports from his "subordinates".
"Lord Adrian, according to your instructions, the temporary militia is already evacuating the townspeople. It won't be long before an open area is cleared. The fire in the granary has also been brought under control. The isolation method you taught is very effective..."
Pastor Danny quickly described the current situation in Harbor Town, looking at Lin En with admiration in his eyes.
Those damn devil followers set fires everywhere, roamed in the crowded alleys, and even burned down the granary, leaving them in a state of panic.
After his repeated requests to mobilize elite guards were rejected by Anruk, Danny could only keep diverting manpower originally used to put out fires and rescue townspeople to hunt down the devil's followers to prevent them from escaping.
However, this chaotic situation changed immediately after the arrival of Lord Adrian.
First, he commanded them to use magic to pacify a group of fleeing townspeople, forcibly selecting able-bodied men from among them, and then broke up a small group of regular troops to form a temporary militia guard as a commander, instantly expanding the available manpower several times.
If these poorly trained militias were used in combat, they would probably collapse at the first blow, but they are still able to perform firefighting and rescue tasks.
The isolation method and sand fire extinguishing method mentioned by the other party are also very effective...
Thinking of this, Pastor Danny felt a little ashamed. Before, he had complained that Bishop Anruk had given him too few people, which were not enough to deal with the complicated situation.
But now I don't think so, because 'Adrian', who has the same resources, easily quelled the chaos.
I can only say that he is worthy of being Lord Adrian, the bishop's right-hand man!
Sitting in the chair, Lin En listened to the pastor's words with a smile and said with appreciation, "You did a great job, Pastor Danny. After tonight, I will commend your achievements to Lord Anruk."
"Thank you, Lord Adrian. I just did some small things within my ability. This is all thanks to you!" Pastor Danny responded excitedly.
Lin En waved his hand, skipped the topic, and asked, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Have you passed on the instructions I gave you before?"
Danny nodded. According to Lord Adrian's plan, what they had to do now was to force the two witches to the open area of the harbor dock. The Vatican had ambushed thousands of crossbowmen there. At that time, a round of volleys would turn the other side into hedgehogs.
Doing so can minimize casualties.
In view of Adrian's previous excellent command, Danny did not have the slightest doubt about this plan.
"Well, Danny, your mission has been accomplished perfectly." Lynn stood up, patted Danny on the shoulder with his right hand, and said with emotion. "Now it's time to send you to see Pastor Albert!"
Albert? What happened to him? Danny paused for a moment. Before he could figure it out, a dazzling silver light flashed across his neck. Fresh red blood gushed out from the wound. The young pastor covered his open neck with an expression of disbelief on his face, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Lin En looked at the corpse in front of him, shook his head helplessly, picked up the rag on the table, and wiped the blood stains on the dagger.
At this point, the two minions sent by Anluik to fish had been dealt with by him, but there was not much joy on Lin En's face.
After all, his opponent is no fool. If he uses Adrian's identity to issue orders, Anluk will soon notice something is wrong and determine that he has the ability to disguise himself as someone else.
Fortunately, this was exactly what Lin En wanted to achieve! Because ordinary priests could not break this kind of magic, then Anluk... had to do it himself! Although he took a 180-degree detour, Lin En finally used the enemy's power to lure out the archbishop and moved the next battlefield back to the dock of the harbor town!
