Chapter 545 Are you going to betray Castel?
"What!"
"How is it possible!?!?"
Hunter and Grisha exclaimed.
The Silent Temple, the actual controller of the White Crow Principality, established this theocratic state to the north of the Canary Mountains.
Every northerner, from birth to death, cannot live without the Temple of Silence.
After the White Disaster, the Silent Temple tried hard to rescue its people from the White Crow Duchy, and confronted the local lords in the north for a while, but finally abandoned all its people and went to the Empire.
This is also the most fundamental reason for the breakup between Nora and the Temple of Silence.
"How is it possible? Didn't they go to the Empire? Didn't they abandon us? Why are they coming back?"
Grisha shouted, his tone showing anger, confusion, and some grievance.
The Temple has always been the support of the White Crow people, and they have never given up their believers. In the past, when facing the Queen's army, the priests of the Temple who charged forward always protected the believers behind them, and relied on their own flesh and blood to force the Royal Army back to the negotiation table.
But they eventually abandoned their followers.
Nora stared at the figures in the distance. She couldn't tell what emotions were surging in her heart. Those people had been her companions, her mentors, and her support, but in the end, she was the only one left to resist.
"No, something's wrong!" Nora suddenly said, "That's the mark of the Undertaker. Villian, Ivan, Zoya, Gleb and the others are all extraordinary people! Nearly a hundred extraordinary people!?"
The extraordinary people are the most valuable assets of the church. Isaac previously judged that the Candlelight Society attached great importance to the North because they sent thirty extraordinary people here.
These are almost the vast majority of extraordinary people that the Candlelight Society can mobilize.
In the entire Candlelight Society, all the extraordinary people add up to no more than a hundred people, and this is already the most prosperous and powerful church.
When the conflict broke out between the Temple of Silence and the Empire, forty Undertakers were organized to charge the Royal Army's line, which was shattered and suffered a crushing defeat. This was the largest-scale battle between extraordinary people in history.
And nearly a hundred extraordinary people... "We are facing... the entire Temple of Silence?!" Hunter said tremblingly.
"Almost. With this number of extraordinary people, the Holy Temple of Silence has already come out in full force." Nora's usually calm voice actually wavered a little.
The Silent Temple, which had come out in full force, was so close to the expeditionary force at this time. "Nora, I, I don't know much about the combat effectiveness of the extraordinary people. If there are hundreds of extraordinary people, can they capture the expeditionary force's fortress?"
Nora did not speak. She looked at her former comrades in silence, anger gradually welling up in her eyes.
It didn't take too much time for this group of people to get close to Hunter and others. At this moment, even Grisha could clearly see the Emblem of the Undertaker on them.
There are dozens of people, all of them are extraordinary people, not a single ordinary person.
"You should be..." A man in the lead came up, but his eyes suddenly fixed after he spoke, "Nora!?"
The undertakers behind him pulled their horses upon hearing this and looked at Nora, who was left with only a head.
Nora didn't say anything. Her eyes slashed through everyone like a knife, finally landing on the carriages behind.
"You've even brought in the Icefield Heavy Armor. You're really ready for war."
The Icefield Heavy Armor is extremely heavy, so heavy that it only has one use: charging into battle.
Even the priests of the Temple of Silence rarely wear such heavy armor. It is difficult to even turn your head while wearing this armor. It is only used in the most difficult battles and when facing the most powerful enemies.
With the Undertakens out in full force and truckloads of heavy ice armor, the answer seems self-evident.
The man stared at Nora in silence. They, the burial masters, were always too taciturn, as if after becoming extraordinary beings, they had buried themselves half in the ground.
In the end, he just shook his head without any excuses and said, "Please take us to the expeditionary camp."
"Why should I help you?"
The man stared at Nora and slowly reached his hand behind him. There was a sound of steel colliding, and a flail appeared in his hand.
"You, what are you going to do!?" Hunter raised the rifle in his hand with some trembling and pointed it at the man.
The man didn't move, just glanced at Hunter, and Hunter felt as if he was frozen, as if the person he was looking at was a cold stone that had experienced countless years.
"Ignatius, if you still have the honor of being the patriarch, don't make things difficult for them. They are not part of the expeditionary force." Nora said loudly.
Ignati did not answer. He swung the flail violently, and a cloud of smoke mixed with the scent of frost and snow from the north floated over.
Hunter was startled and subconsciously wanted to escape, but the smoke was floating too fast and arrived in front of him in an instant.
Nora's head jerked, she broke free from Hunter's backpack and jumped straight into the smoke.
She drew an arc in the air, but suddenly stopped the moment she touched the smoke.
No, to be precise, it was not stagnant, but falling at an extremely slow speed. After a moment, the smoke that enveloped her suddenly receded. Nora looked at Ignati deeply and jumped back into Hunter's backpack.
"Mister Nora!?"
"Nora, are you okay!?"
Nora shook her head slightly and whispered, "Take them to the resistance camp."
"Ah?" Hunter was stunned. After a while, he scratched his head and said, "Although I may not be qualified to say this, I think betraying Castel is not a good option."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head, but Ignatius looked at him again, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
Grisha on the side said without hesitation: "Okay, Master Nora."
He immediately turned his horse around and ran to the side.
Ignati's gaze fell on his steel prosthesis and his eyes flashed.
Hunter followed Grisha reluctantly.
The people from the Silent Temple followed from a distance. Hunter glanced behind him and whispered to Grisha, "Hey, are you just taking them away like this?"
"That was Lady Nora's request."
"Is Lady Nora's request correct?"
"Lady Nora's request may not be correct." Grisha's voice was emotionless.
"But Lady Nora is more capable than I am and knows more than I do. She may make mistakes, but her judgment is more trustworthy than my own. I will follow all her orders."
"Even if it endangers Castel?"
"I believe in Lady Nora." Hunter looked at Grisha and saw only his clear eyes.
