"The minimum number of Guardian Knights in the Glorious City must be maintained at four. Martha probably saw this point and only left the four of us behind."
"Now the Demon Lord's army has surrounded the three cities in the east, south, and north, and the east city is where the main force of the demon army is located. Therefore, the strongest among us four, Narr, is stationed here."
Hilda pointed to the silver coin in the north.
"Then there is the north, so Knight Yuna is guarding here, and finally the south. Relatively speaking, the demon army here is not the main force, so Knight Kane is stationed here."
After Hilda's explanation, Lauri finally understood the layout of the Glorious City.
Since the Glorious City has no inner city, the outer city has become the only barrier. Therefore, almost all the main forces went to the walls of the east, south, and north, leaving only enough knights to maintain the temple guard, and the rest went to the wall.
There are a total of eight Guardian Knights in the Glorious City.
Among them, four were sent out by Martha for various reasons, leaving only four Guardian Knights in the city and several other knights.
These include Knight Narr stationed in the East City, Knight Yuna stationed in the North City, and Knight Kane stationed in the South City.
Finally, as a mobile knight, Hilda served as the fire captain, going wherever she was needed.
"Well, I am clear about the general arrangement now. I need to ask Knight Hilda to send the information of the knights as soon as possible."
As a once-great city-state, the walls of the Glorious City are still very reliable.
The main reason why the Glorious City was captured was that the morale of the army collapsed after she, as a Saintess, was captured.
Thinking of this, Lauri felt much better.
Now the demon army does not have enough food supplies, which is like a long-distance sailing ship. Without enough fuel storage, even if it can sail, it is difficult to reach the destination.
However, after feeling happy, she thought of the present situation.
No matter how you think about it, the current situation seems to be a bit desperate.
Or... slide over by yourself, sell yourself directly and surrender, on the grounds of not violating yourself, it can be considered...
"No, I can't surrender. Once I surrender, I will become a piece of meat on the cutting board, with people as the knives and me as the fish. Absolutely not!"
The current situation is obviously a bit severe, different from the past. This is a matter of life and death... No! It is an issue more important than life and death!!
This concerns her chastity!
Lauri pursed her lips and thought, picking up a strand of her silver hair, which slipped through her fingers. Such beautiful long hair would inevitably be public property if it fell into the hands of the demons!
"I remember Narr, this person."
The memories of the original owner are obviously very simple, so simple that she does not understand the matters of men and women, and knows nothing about the outside world.
But the title of Guardian Knight must be conferred by the Saintess, so she has seen this Knight Narr.
Knight Narr is a rising star, also from the Dreyssas family, a member of the same family as the blond Adam Knight who appeared previously.
He seems to be young, just turning fifteen this year, but his strength ranks high among the eight Guardian Knights, and can be regarded as a rare genius in the Glorious City.
This person's family has always lived in the Glorious City, and all their foundations are in the city. Would he sell the city?
It's not very likely when you think about it.
But this possibility cannot be ruled out either.
Then there is Yuna in the North City.
She is also a knight lady and has a very good relationship with Hilda. Among the eight Guardian Knights, there are only these two women, and their relationship is close.
It is basically possible to rule out Yuna's suspicion.
Finally, there is Kane.
This person comes from a declining noble family. If you say that any of the Guardian Knights in the city is suspicious, it should be none other than him.
However, conclusions should not be made rashly at this time.
Lauri gathered the silver hair in front of her chest. The touch was unexpectedly good, smooth and soft, like an expensive fur. The feeling of feedback when rubbing it with her fingers was warm and comfortable.Just as Lauri was pondering her own safety, a commotion came from outside.
The sound was like many people cheering, very noisy, and some were shouting things like "Long live the Saint Church."
Hearing this, she couldn't help but look towards the door, and the temple gates were pushed open with a creak by two people.
Two nuns hurried in, both with joy on their faces, and quickly came to her bedside.
"Your Highness, the Angel of the Moon blessed us, and the demon army has retreated!"
Upon hearing this news, Lauri was stunned but remained composed, with a habitual smile appearing at the corner of her lips.
"Ah, I see."
The two nuns were surprised by the calmness of the Saintess, as if she had known all along that the demon army would withdraw!
The two nuns began to imagine things.
They had served the previous Saintess, who had been clueless and naïve, like a bumpkin who knew nothing of the world.
Yet today, there seemed to be a subtle change in the Saintess's behavior.
In this era of believing in "God," such a sudden change, especially in the Saintess, was certainly intriguing.
After reporting the situation, the two nuns left the temple at the command of the Saintess.
Nun A paused at the temple gate, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"I say, the Saintess today seems somewhat different from the past."
Nun B was all smiles.
"Don't you understand? The Saintess must have received God's will. How else could she know that Sister Martha was a demon?"
"God's will? Right... that's the only explanation for why the Saintess suddenly became smarter!"
The two nuns whispered, although it was just a private conversation, but such things could not be kept secret.
In less than ten minutes, the news had spread throughout the entire temple.
As the story spread, it became more and more outrageous, even to the point where someone claimed that they had "witnessed an angel descending."
While the Saintess was the subject of much discussion among the nuns, she was daydreaming on her bed.
"The demon army is gone? Really gone?"
Lauri left the bed.
The cold marble was smooth and clean, reflecting the worried frown on the girl's face.
Her tiny feet stepped on the cold stone slab, and the slight chill it brought made her shiver.
"Something's not right. The demon army is not using force, are they planning to use military tactics instead? Secretly bypassing obstacles, deceiving their enemies?"
At this moment, she didn't know that Hilda, who had sorted out the information, had heard rumors about the 'Saintess having a closed-door conversation with the angel’ on her way back.
At first, Hilda didn't believe it, but when she came to the temple gate, ready to greet her and come in, she suddenly heard a strange language coming from the room.
This language sounded ancient and complex, and the voice of the Saintess was so soft that even a level 50 guardian knight like Hilda couldn't make out what she was saying in the spacious temple.
The Saintess just revealed a meaningful smile.
The obscure, hard-to-understand language, the profound smile, and a series of completely different behaviors from before…
Hilda suddenly realized!
The Saintess was communicating with God!
