"Demon Hunter, you'd better bring me some good news!" Pastor Richard was so busy that several priests planned the key points of the defense line around him. From time to time, a paladin hurried in to bring a new piece of information, and was posted on the wall by the priest. After such scattered information was sorted out by the priest, a clear battlefield situation chart was formed.

"It's good news. I'm going to enter the lower city to solve the chaos creature." The demon hunter winked at Pastor Richard. In order to make it easier to speak, Xu Yichen left the three witches outside.

Pastor Richard waved his hand: "You all go out, the next thing is that the Demon Hunter and I need a quiet environment."

No one made a sound. After hearing Pastor Richard's instructions, the pastors quietly packed up their own things and left the tent in an orderly manner.

"Your people are good!" These young pastors reminded Xu Yichen of the intern staff when he was in the military academy. They were the same, quiet, efficient, and could always perfectly execute the commander's orders.

"It's all newcomers, sent by the Temple of War. It has changed a lot in recent years. This set has only become popular recently, but it is indeed very effective." Pastor Richard closed his eyes and pressed his temple: "Tell me, the matter in the slums has nothing to do with you."

"I really want to tell you that the reason I want to go in and destroy that monster is because I am a demon hunter." Xu Yichen looked at Pastor Richard: "But, I can't. This matter does have something to do with me, and it also involves nuns and witches, so I want to solve this problem."

"I promise you that my behavior does not violate the code of conduct of the Demon Hunter." Xu Yichen looked at the fatigue of Pastor Richard and raised a question: "What do you think about the witch?"

This question seemed to give Pastor Richard a headache, and he patted his cheek with his palm: "This is a difficult question, but I probably understand what you mean. In my life, I have seen many witches who contributed their lives for humanity, but I have also met more witches who failed to survive and brought disaster."

"I will not explore this. The secret here. I believe in your teacher's vision. We have been fighting together for more than a century. I hope your actions will not shame him." Pastor Richard did not continue to ask.

Xu Yichen nodded: "I swear with my life that my position will always stand on the side of mankind."

"I have limited staff. Antoine is a good businessman, but he is not a person who can be competent for the position of lords in war." Pastor Richard shook his head and punched heavily on the map: "The city guards in Anthony Harbor are all waste, and no one knows them better than me. As the priest of the God of War, I have never seen such a weak army!"

"So, has the Xiacheng District been completely abandoned?" Xu Yichen looked carefully at the map on the wall. He still remembered the tragic experience of getting lost in a slum area last time. He didn't know if the gangsters who led him were still alive.

Pastor Richard's tall figure seemed to be shorter: "I can't take risks! This city is the largest port city in the north, and it's very important here! I must ensure safety here... Moreover, among the church's forces, the Temple of War is only a part of it, and I am not the one who can make the final decision."

As he said that, Pastor Richard used his carrot-like fingers to draw a line on the map: "From here, all passages were blocked. Two hours ago, eight priests jointly cast spells together to explore the disaster in the lower city, and the two were polluted by the chaotic will on the spot! The remaining people only got related words such as reproduction, infection, etc., and some were frightened."

Pastor Richard smiled when he said this: "You may not know that Antoine has entrusted the city's wartime management rights to my church. Now he may have gone to sea to take refuge. Some people in the church think this is a good opportunity. In order not to be surprised, they plan to guard against the city and protect the aristocratic area and the port area at least. Do you understand?"

"I understand, it's another political game." The Demon Hunter nodded: "But there will always be people standing up in danger. My people told me that there is a force in the slums that has saved most of the population in the lower city and has persisted until now!"

The Demon Hunter marked Li Yanlong's location on the map: "What I have to do now is to walk in, give them hope, and then solve the Chaos Demon!"

"What do you need me to do?" Pastor Richard saw responsibility and persistence in the eyes of the young apprentice: "With your skills, you can enter and exit the rookies under my command at will. Why come to me? You know, I can't provide you with any help now!"

"It's okay, the demon hunter has always acted alone." Xu Yichen smiled confidently: "But my goal is to save the lives of those people as much as possible. If you can't do it, at least don't stop them from saving themselves. One of my friends will carry enough weapons and armor. When he arrives, I hope he can pass here smoothly."

"I only ask for so much." The Demon Hunter emphasized.

"Okay." Pastor Richard nodded heavily: "You have my promise, child, your people will pass through my defense unimpededly, but I can't guarantee that he can return to the city."

"He won't, we will completely solve the troubles in the ghetto." The Demon Hunter said firmly: "Or die inside."

"The God of War protects you, child." This is the last words of Pastor Richard.

In the reluctant movement of the city guards, the city gate was slowly opened, and the darkness before dawn faded in the sun, revealing the silent building complex, like a ghost, without any sound.

The demon hunter walked out of the city gate with three witches under the gaze of the young paladin Severn. As the city gate closed, the demon hunter in Severn's eyes was finally blocked by darkness.

The young paladin wanted to follow the demon hunter and enter the land of sin over there. Even the lives of the unbeliever should not be abandoned like this! However, the military orders are like mountains, and the habits he has developed for many years made him unable to make choices that violate the orders. In the end, he held his weapon tightly and returned to his post step by step.
