The reason why the demon race targeted Glorious City from the beginning was not simply to attack the city. It was combined with the fact that the original master was selected as the Saintess one year ago, and Martha came to her side. This can only mean one thing. The demon race's target from the beginning was her! Martha's purpose was to take her away, but the reason for this is still unknown. However, some details can be deduced from this.
First of all, her skills. There's no need to mention her rank, as she is the human spokesperson for the Moon's Sariel, and as the Saintess of the Moon, she is also the Saintess of Glory. Let's not talk about the three skills of excitement, swordsmanship, and light sword, but just her healing skills. Perhaps in the memory of the original master, this healing skill doesn't seem to be any different, but this is also due to Martha's suggestion that she gradually accepted this setting. However, the real situation may not be like this. The ability to heal a shattered heart is unheard of. Even if she didn't put her mind on the small details, she knew that healing skills were not "absolute healing" but "relative healing". the more magic power she used, the more places she could repair, but some fatal and quickly fatal injuries could not be repaired. This is because it had already approached the taboo of "resurrection".
In the Saint Church, the skill of resurrection is a taboo, and even if someone has this talent, they are not allowed to learn and use it. However, her healing skill is clearly close to a "miracle" rather than ordinary healing. From this point alone, it can be seen that Lauri St. Sariel's talent is unparalleled! Every chosen Saintess has her own power, and her power comes from the blessing of the Moon Angel Sariel, and there are three powers. Although it is unknown whether other Saintesses have so many powers, her powers are mostly auxiliary.
Made Hero - Summon a historic hero to possess someone.
Moon Defense - Grant a single person the concept of 'not being hurt' for a certain period of time.
Eye of the Judgement - Can cause enemies to fall into a brief stalemate.
A super Saintess who combines healing, support, enhancement, and protection, it's imaginable what kind of disastrous defeat the human side would suffer if she falls into the hands of the demon army. Lauri had a vague guess in her heart. The demon army wanted her powers. If that was the case... they would probably not give up easily.
Lauri took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and looked at Hilda with her usual smile. "Hilda, you are the only one I can trust right now. Can I... trust you?" Among the knights, there was another traitor, who was a man, so Hilda could be excluded as a traitor. The most important thing is that Lauri clearly remembers that after Hilda escorted Lauri St. Sariel out of the city, she was captured together and eventually became an unspeakable sight. She died tragically, but until the last moment, Hilda never forgot that she should save Saintess Lauri.
"Your Highness Saintess, since the day I became a guardian knight, everything I have done has been for you, for the Saint Church, and for this Glorious City. Please trust me." With her right hand on her heart, Hilda knelt before her with a serious and sincere expression.
Lauri nodded and looked at the nuns beside her, ordering them: "You all, leave first. I want to discuss something with Knight Hilda." At this moment, there was no control from Martha, so these nuns could only choose to obey her orders. Moreover, the news that Martha had turned into a demon had spread throughout the city within a short time. Everyone wanted to break away from Martha immediately, and most of these nuns were under Martha's control. Now, apart from showing loyalty to Saintess, they didn't dare to do much else.Once someone still had contact with Martha, if they were found out, they would immediately be bound to the stake for execution!
Ignoring the nuns, Lauri turned her gaze back, carefully examining the female knight in front of her.
Although it was not certain how loyal she was now, at least it could be confirmed that she was not a spy of the demon clan.
"Knight Hilda, I trust you, and I ask you to trust me as well, the glorious city is now in grave danger, and I need your help."
Hilda knelt down on one knee again.
"Guardian Knight Hilda, willing to serve you!"
"Very well, Knight Hilda, I need to know the city's defenses and all the information on the loyal knights of rank and above. I need to see all of it."
Although she had forgotten who the spy was, if she could take a look, maybe it would trigger some memories.
To be able to become a spy of the demon clan, this person's rank must not be low, otherwise, they would not have the qualifications to become a spy.
A loyal knight was at level 30, this was a milestone. Only when they reached this level, could they truly become a knight and lead an army.
However, this information must be vast. Just the relatively lax western city defenses had more than a dozen loyal knights.
The combined total of the other three cities and the knights here at The Saint Church, there must be at least two to three hundred loyal knights.
Even if there were few brave knights, there would be at least several dozen people.
And the guardian knights.
To accurately select that one spy among so many people was not an easy task.
"Your command, but Your Highness, what do you want these for? The battlefield is where we knights should be, do you… plan to personally command the army?"
Lauri shook her head slightly, the golden crown on her head made her feel a bit heavy, so she took it off and placed it beside her.
"Knight Hilda, the target of the demon clan this time is me. I don't have time to explain the specific reasons to you, but I'm sure there are other spies in the city."
The valiant and heroic female knight in front of her frowned, obviously lost in thought.
Lauri wasn't in a hurry. If that one spy could open the city gate, the glorious city would not have lasted so long.
Clearly, this spy was a backup after Martha's foreshadowing was exposed.
Hilda thought for a long time, and Lauri did not disturb her, waiting quietly.
"Your Highness... have you seen that person?"
"I vaguely remember, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'll remember if I see the person, but this information might be helpful too."
"I see, then Saintess Your Highness, I'll go..."
"Wait, first tell me about the layout of the city defenses, I need to know this information."
Lauri quickly stopped Hilda who was about to turn and leave. The other things were not important, the information on the city's defenses was the most important right now.
Only with this knowledge, it would be possible to deduce where the spy might be making their moves.
"If that's the case, then I'll explain it to Your Highness first."
She took out five silver coins from her waist and placed them on the ground.
The five silver coins were arranged in a cross shape, and Hilda pointed to one of them facing east:
"Sir Will is not in the city, and the demon Martha had called away all the knights from Glorious City before. Including me, there are four guardian knights left in the city."
