Chapter 554: Charge towards the white disaster!
"This is an emergency. Please contact your top leader immediately. We have observed that the White Disaster is not far from here!"
A priest from the Silent Church said in a deep voice, glancing to the north from time to time, where a wall of fog could be vaguely seen.
"You may not know how terrible the White Plague is. Now in the North, no one can stop it except us."
Anxiety appeared on the faces of the buryers, but the soldiers in front of them did not seem to be in a hurry at all. They looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were very strange.
"Well, Mr. Ignati, we have conveyed your message to the Lord, and there should be a response soon."
"I hope so."
The undertakers who had come forward to communicate had to turn back and gather together to discuss in a low voice.
"This is not right. Why can the White Scourge cross the Canary Mountains and even reach the northern border of the empire?"
"Is the Bone Temple ineffective?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Bone Temple was built before the Forgotten Ones betrayed. It has absolute control over the Forgotten Ones and the White Scourge!"
"Then why is there white fog here? Did someone dig out the Bone Temple?"
"The Bone Temple is buried in the dense forest. Unless the entire forest is searched, who would search it? And if the Bone Temple is found, it will kill all living things around it. How could it be brought here?"
“But the White Plague is right before our eyes!”
"Okay, stop arguing." Ignati said in a low voice. His voice was not loud, but it made the buryingers quiet down instantly.
"Whether the Bone Temple is lost or not, we can no longer go to the Canary Mountains. We must fight the White Scourge alone. We are the last hope of the North."
The crowd fell silent.
"If there's no Temple of Bones, what's the chance of success?" Hunter asked in a low voice.
"It will be much lower." Ignati said solemnly, "After entering the White Calamity, one will quickly forget everything, and the extraordinary people are no exception. If you want to achieve the same effect, you must perform the burial ceremony before that. Frankly speaking, this will be a lot more difficult."
"But the road to the Holy Temple is always full of thorns. Fellow citizens, for the sake of the North, we cannot retreat!"
The eyes of the priests in the Silent Church gradually became firm.
As soon as Xius arrived at the gate of the military camp, he saw this scene.
He pulled a soldier over and asked in confusion:
"what happened?"
"No, I'm not sure. As they were talking, the atmosphere became solemn."
"Is it something serious?"
"Probably not."
Hughes nodded and walked over.
"Lord!" Nora's eyes lit up when she saw Xius, and she immediately shouted loudly, "We have very important information here!"
Ignati first glanced at Nora with a complicated expression, then stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, I am Ignati, the Patriarch of the Cathedral of Silence."
Hughes naturally stretched out his hand: "Hughes Corsica Simmons Stuart."
Ignatius is the Christian name. Anyone who joins the Church of Silence needs to abandon his original surname and given name and call each other by the Christian name. This is the official title of the silent priest. It is not considered rude for the Patriarch to report the name Ignatius.
For example, Nora, her name is just this one word.
Ignatius was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and shook hands with Hughes.
"Your Majesty, we just encountered some minor troubles. There may be some chaos in the barracks right now. I'm afraid we can only go to the fortress to entertain you."
"No need. The situation is critical now. The survival of the North is at stake. We can talk about the hospitality later."
Nora opened her mouth but said nothing.
This time, no matter whether they succeed or not, they have no hope of returning.
On the other side, Xius was stunned.
The survival of the North is at stake? Who else can threaten the entire North?
After thinking about it, Xiu Si found that there seemed to be only the expeditionary force.
This group of people can't be coming for him, right?
"Can I help you in any way?"
"We have prepared all the supplies. We originally wanted to come here to visit you, but now that the situation is so urgent, I will say goodbye first."
"Ah?" Zeus was stunned. Is your Temple of Silence so swift and decisive?
"Are you ready to go?"
"Sorry, I don't have time to explain. The survival of the North depends on this battle. I will visit you again if I have the chance. Goodbye!"
Most of the people in the Temple of Silence turned around and left, except Ignati who glanced at Nora when he passed by.
"You are no longer a member of the Holy Temple. Now that you have made your decision, lead the people of White Crow and move on."
Nora pursed her lips.
A group of people left towards the north.
Hughes looked at their leaving figures in some confusion, thought for a moment, then turned to look at Nora.
"It's so touching." Hunter held Nora's head on his back and wiped his eyes with a delicate handkerchief. "What a heroic sacrifice, what a fearless dedication. If I hadn't studied calculus, I would have written a long poem for them!"
Nora nodded.
"Wait, wait, Nora, what on earth are they here for?" Xius couldn't help but ask.
"They originally wanted to say hello to you and borrow your way to the North. I had suggested that they take the train. But just now when we were at the military camp, we discovered that the White Scourge had arrived. Now they should go fight against it."
Nora whispered.
Xius felt a lot of question marks appearing in his mind.
"Wait, what happened to the White Scourge? The expeditionary force has already repelled the White Scourge, right?"
".Ah?" Hunter and the other two were stunned.
After the white fog left the expeditionary force's fortress, it did not retreat too far. It only stopped there after a few kilometers. Then the fog surged, as if something was happening inside.
Therefore, it didn't take the people in the Temple of Silence much time to reach the white fog. Looking at the fog right in front of them, Ignatius showed a trace of sadness on his face.
"We are the people of the White Crow, but we have lost the land where the White Crows have lived for thousands of years. The believers provide for us, but we are unable to protect them! Warriors of the Silent Temple, we have nowhere to retreat. Now, use our souls and flesh to bury this white fog and return the territory of the Bone White Crow to its people!"
The priests of the Temple of Silence had already put on their equipment before approaching the white fog. Now they had abandoned their horses, and each of them was wearing a white heavy ice armor. After hearing the words of the patriarch, they all raised the links in their hands.
Ignati turned around and looked at the people following him, took a deep breath, and slowly put on his visor.
He once led priests to charge on the battlefield and dispersed the Empire's arrogant Musketeers. He also led priests to negotiate at the Candlelight Society, holding the flail to prevent twice as many investigators from moving rashly. Now he was going to lead these people who trusted him on a road of no return.
He has lived for too many years, but the wind and snow year after year have never cooled the heat in his heart. The years and frost have passed by his side, but the emotions in his chest are extremely hot.
The burials pulled down their visors one after another; the sound of steel colliding was cold and reassuring.
It was a familiar feeling that made them no longer hesitate or fear, just like this thick armor on the ice field.
He was wearing armor, made of steel both inside and out.
"For the people of Bone Crow!"
With tower shields raised and flails in hand, the priests of the Temple of Silence began their charge.
These are the most powerful warriors on the continent, and they charge towards the white fog that they have never defeated before.
