Fortunately, her swordsmanship was strong enough to deal with most threats, so she was able to survive. She then went to the Holy City, worked hard to pass the selection of the God's Punishment Army, and got the opportunity to be reborn and drink the God's grace potion!
In the past two years, in order to obtain information about Lot, Ivana joined the most dangerous witch-hunting team in the God's Punishment Army, and witnessed the evil, madness and hysteria of the wizards! They mastered powerful and strange witchcraft, conducted unknown research in secret, and were the spreaders of plague and the source of pain...
All these experiences gave Ivana a deeper understanding of the description of wizards in the Bible, and also gave her a new belief, which was to eliminate the minions of these evil gods and save more people! Complex thoughts passed through Ivana's mind, but were soon interrupted by the vibration from the ground...
This felt like a large army was being dispatched. Ivina immediately became alert. The northern border of the empire was often harassed by barbarians, and the village in front of her was most likely massacred by the barbarians.
However, after seeing the holy emblem flag fluttering in the distance, Ivana's heart was immediately at ease.
The ones galloping over were none other than the Holy See’s Divine Punishment Legion.
Ivana immediately mounted her horse and led her men to meet them, and reported exactly what had happened in the village.
"You did a great job, Ivana. You were able to kill the great wizard. It seems that your strength has increased a lot." Gustav, the commander of the God's Punishment Army, looked at the eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in front of him and praised her without reservation.
Ivana is probably the person who has most perfectly integrated the power of the Divine Grace Potion in the past few hundred years, and her physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary Divine Punishment Knights.
The only flaw is that his talent for divine arts is mediocre.
Gustav took out the Bible from his waist and revised the chapter about the corpse snatcher in the sinner chapter, adding the words "executed" at the end, and raised the bounty for the other party to 40,000! Ivana's face showed a little more joy.
She herself doesn't care about the amount of money. After all, the salary she receives on a daily basis is enough for her daily expenses.
However, the increase in bounty means that the families of the dead Divine Punishment Knights will be able to receive more compensation.
"It's time for us to go back, back to the holy city!" Gustav put the Bible in his arms and looked towards the direction of the holy city.
"But, sir, according to our investigation, the frequent activities of wizards in the northern part of the empire are very likely related to an evil god..." Ivana said hesitantly.
During the time she joined the witch hunting team, Ivana had fought against the evil god more than once, and she knew very well how much harm this thing could cause. If it was not removed in time, it would easily cause tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties! "I know your concerns, Ivana, but we have more important things to do now!" Gustav's expression was very solemn. "Not long ago, I received news that a tragedy occurred in the empire..."
"That group of wizards who had been hiding overseas raided the Kingdom of Hadrata in the west of the empire. They used the fight for the crown prince as a bargaining chip to instigate the second prince, Hattar, to commit patricide and then supported him to become a puppet king."
"So now the entire kingdom has fallen. I'm afraid it has become a paradise for wizards and demons..." Gustav said with a sigh.
Ivana's face was full of astonishment, and a chill rose in her heart.
She couldn't imagine how terrible a country ruled by wizards would be, and how many bloody tragedies would happen! Ivana once participated in solving a disaster caused by the evil god. Several crazy evil god believers took control of a fortified city in the north and carried out a large-scale blood sacrifice there. Tens of thousands of poor people were slaughtered and turned into food for the evil god's power to grow.
The horrifying scene still lingers in Ivina's mind.
"Commander, are we going back this time just to defeat those wizards?" a Divine Punishment Knight asked hurriedly.
Gustav shook his head. "No, in fact, the church has sent two expeditions, and the results were..."
"As a result, Saint Lucia was killed in the battle, the Chief Judge was captured alive, and all the expeditionary forces were completely destroyed!"
Gustav's voice was very soft, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
The eyes of the Divine Punishment Knights present widened, they simply could not believe what they heard!
Ivana was no exception, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
In the past, no matter what kind of enemy they faced, as long as the church was determined to eliminate it, they would surely win.
However, this time the expeditionary army suffered such a disastrous defeat...
She didn't know how powerful Her Majesty the Saint and the Chief Judge were, but she had seen with her own eyes how Gustav, the commander of the God's Punishment Army, took action.
That terrifying evil god who absorbed the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people could be easily killed by Gustav who possessed divine power!
"According to the oracle, doomsday... has come!" Gustav said with a serious expression.
"Doomsday?!" Ivana murmured in a low voice.
"That's right!" Gustav nodded, and then explained. "As the Bible says, the sins and endless desires in the hearts of the people will eventually lead to disasters. The witchcraft mastered by those wizards is becoming more and more powerful, which is a sign of the end of the world!"
Doomsday? After the initial shock and panic, Ivana and the other Divine Punishment Knights gradually calmed down, their eyes full of determination.
They have long disregarded life and death, and are determined to kill those wizards who spread chaos and prevent the end of the world!
"His Holiness the Pope has a very important task for you!" Gustav looked at Ivina and suddenly spoke.
"Please give your orders, Commander!" Ivana responded respectfully.
"You have been stranded in the North and have only taken the divine potion. You have not yet been baptized by the divine ritual. Those wizards should not be able to confirm your identity, so you are the most suitable candidate." Gustav said slowly.
"Soon, we will create an opportunity for you to enter the Kingdom of Hadrata as a wizard..."
"The kingdom ruled by those wizards!"
