Chapter 322 Something's Wrong
"You were born without sin, but when the alien race came, you no longer believed in the gods, you lost the protection of the light, your bodies became filthy, and your souls became vile..."
In the center of the small town stands a high platform, where Kelly, looking very serious, is trying to reform the Rakshasa people.
As the conversion ritual progressed, Kelly developed a strange aura. This was not the "righteousness" possessed by all temple practitioners, but rather an aura closer to that of a saintess—pure and luminous.
"The power of faith...it really is unscientific!" Qin Mo felt the special aura emanating from the transformed Holy Spirit power and inwardly marveled at the Temple's formidable methods.
"This is the third day already. Are you sure... this will work?" Heather moved closer to Qin Mo and asked softly.
“Your Highness, as long as you do not expose your presence, even if King Bruon is very cautious, he will still come out of the city to arrest us to vent his anger, because such a thing happening under his rule is a serious provocation to him as the ruler.”
"I did not give myself away!"
Saint Heatherine adjusted her large brown linen robe and gave Qin Mo an affirmative answer.
Knowing that King Bruon was very cautious, Qin Mo suggested that Heatherine go into hiding. After all, although Heatherine was not a Saint-level expert, her reputation was too great, and the cautious King Bruon might not dare to leave the heavily defended city of Tallinn to hunt them down.
Heatherine's white gauze dress was very rare, and coupled with the bright temple marks on Kelly and the others, it was easy for people to guess her identity. So, at Qin Mo's suggestion, she concealed her aura and put on a tattered linen robe.
"Qin Mo... Qin Mo, two people just rode away on horseback. You were right, they headed straight for Tallinn City."
In the middle of the night, Xu Luo, who was on duty in the town's tower, returned excitedly to the courtyard where Qin Mo and the others lived. As soon as he entered, he looked at Qin Mo with admiration.
In the previous battle, Qin Mo killed two warlords, and Xu Luo and others also reaped a lot of benefits. In his words, "I have fought the orcs twice, but neither of them was as satisfying as this battle."
But now even the two Knights Hall cultivators who were on good terms with Holson no longer harbored hostility towards Qin Mo. The pressure from the powerful figure, coupled with the tangible benefits, made it impossible for them to be hostile towards Qin Mo.
“If what that stone hammer said is true, then King Bruon shouldn’t have led several thousand men out to hunt us down. After all, there are still many military supplies in Tallinn that need to be protected.”
Qin Mo pointed to Tallinn on the map and continued, "If we pretend to be hot-blooded, arrogant, and warmongers who have been seduced by the doctrines of the Temple, then Bruon should come out to hunt us down himself, because he has the power to kill us."
“We must make him feel that we have enough power to kill us before he will take the bait, so we must continue to spread the teachings of the temple in the nearby towns, so that more Rakshasa people will run to Tallinn to report the news, and let Bloom be sure that we are all a group of young practitioners.”
"Lord Qin Mo, although your combat strength is strong and your strategies are excellent, please do not forget your identity. The Temple has not misled us. We are fighting for the light. Your words just now are a desecration of the Temple's doctrines." Holson had been holding back for several days and finally found a sore spot for Qin Mo. He immediately stood up and sternly rebuked him.
Qin Mo coldly swept her gaze over the righteous-looking Holson, making the latter feel a pang of guilt. The battle of the past few days had shown him the vast difference in their abilities. But remembering that Saintess Heather was right beside him, he straightened his back and met Qin Mo's gaze.
However, Saintess Heatherine, who usually tolerated no disrespect for the Temple's doctrines, did not reprimand Qin Mo. Instead, she turned to Holson and said, "Qin Mo is a Great Xia person. His use of the Great Xia language is beyond our comprehension. I do not believe that his words just now were a blasphemy against the Temple."
"If you have any objections to Qin Mo's plan, then we'll implement my plan. Qin Mo and I will storm into Tallinn City, cause maximum destruction, and then break out. Anyone who thinks they can keep up with us can follow us. There will be no one to provide you with any protection along the way. Holson, do you think this plan is feasible?"
Saintess Heatherine's words were devoid of emotion, yet they stirred emotions in everyone else. They glared angrily at Holson. If Saintess Heatherine's plan were adopted, apart from Kelly, who possessed the strength of a high priest, no one could keep up with the Saintess and Qin Mo's pace, and they would gain nothing in the upcoming battle.
“I…I will follow in Your Highness’s footsteps until my sword breaks, until the end of my life.” Holson was speechless and could only recite his knightly declaration again to evade the question, but this time even his accomplice Green turned his head away, full of contempt.
For three consecutive days, fine spring rain enveloped the entire Tallinn region, making the conversion ritual of the Temple Hunting Team extremely difficult. No one was willing to spend several hours in the rain reciting the Temple's doctrines at length, and Qin Mo's brows furrowed more and more, her mood becoming increasingly anxious.
"Your Highness Heatherine, I think we should leave here, immediately!" Qin Mo finally suggested to Heatherine after dark.
"Why? For three consecutive days, someone has secretly gone to Tallinn to deliver the news, which proves that your judgment is correct. Why do you want to leave now?" Saintess Heatherine asked with some curiosity.
"We're leaving because someone has been reporting to Tallinn for three days straight. It's only half a day's journey from here; even if Bruon is slow to react, he should be here by now. I'm just worried... he'll go find reinforcements..."
