Chapter 135 Chase and Escape

"What did you find out?"

Ella slowly landed with Reinhardt. She needed to quickly treat Reinhardt's injuries.

"Outside the control of the church, there are organizations that can borrow power from the Sun God."

Ella poured the healing potion on Reinhardt's severely burned, dry and cracked skin. Reinhardt was in a very bad condition now. There was almost no intact part of his body. His blood vessels were dry and ruptured due to the high temperature, but most of the blood in them was evaporated, and his internal organs began to fail to varying degrees.

In other words, Reinhardt is a warrior of a high level, which is why he has been able to hold on until now.

But he couldn't hold on like this forever, as Krigo was now blocking the pursuing Crusaders, giving Ella time to simply treat Reinhardt's injuries.

"What are the injuries on your body? It looks like you took a breath of a red dragon. It must be a young dragon at least."

As Ella spoke, she wrapped Reinhardt with a bandage, and kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye to make sure he was still conscious.

"Who would have thought that those lunatics would blow themselves up just like that?"

Reinhardt watched Ella working on him.

"When did the Sun God Cult start to self-destruct? Isn't that something only evil gods would do?"

Ella moved quickly, and in just a few words, she had wrapped the bandages around her waist.

"And yours doesn't look like an explosion injury."

"Because that wasn't an explosion. The priest's self-explosion looked more like he turned into a small sun at that moment."

Ella finished the bandage, although her movements became a little rough in the pursuit of speed.

But Reinhardt did not suffer any pain because the nerves that could feel pain had been burned by the high temperature.

"What should we do next? I heard that Lania was attacked by goblins and is now seriously injured. Her life or death is unknown."

Of course, Ella would not believe that it was the goblins who attacked Lannia. He and Reinhardt had stayed in the goblin city-state for quite some time.

That was when the goblins had just immigrated to the current location of the city-state. At that time, it was still an uninhabited wasteland on the edge of the kingdom. According to the agreement reached with Farui, Reinhardt helped the goblins deal with the monster nests around that area.

During those times, Ella had some understanding of the goblins. Goblins might be cunning and greedy, but their target would usually only be the gold coins in your pocket, not your life.

After all, for those goblins, killing one person would not add even one more gold coin to their pockets. Not to mention a person like Lania, attacking her would only make the goblins gain an entire kingdom as an enemy. This means that the goblins would have to spend a lot of money to hire adventurers and mercenaries to maintain the normal operation of their trade routes.

This rumor was probably pushed by someone behind the scenes to incite people to hate the goblins.

"Some of the people Lannia brought with her should still be alive. Find them and use their channels to warn the kingdom and the church."

Reinhardt was not a noble and had no channels to contact the new aristocratic factions that actually held real power in the kingdom.

Although Lannia wanted to make him a noble at that time, Reinhardt did not want to be tied to the castle, manor and territory. He hoped to continue adventuring for a while.

"The church should have realized something was wrong, but many people in the church should have joined an organization that the church could not control."

After all, the priest who was going to baptize Breivik was a formal priest of the church. In this case, the church probably couldn't make a big reaction, after all, no matter what organization it was, it was made up of one individual, and those priests who joined the "organization" would naturally obstruct the church's actions against their "organization".

"The church cannot count on the Kingdom of Wind Whisper. As for the Kingdom of Wind Whisper, it seems that the so-called invasion and looting by the Kingdom of Wind Whisper may have been problematic."

Ella chanted a spell, and the light of the spell flashed on Reinhardt's body. The mages' healing spells were not as good as the divine spells in the hands of the priests, but they could still stabilize Reinhardt's injuries.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, we have to hurry."

A flaming figure landed beside the two of them. The dragon wings on Krigo's back had now fully grown and could support him for long-term flight.

"Most of the Crusaders and the church in this area are chasing us. What on earth have you done?"

This number was much higher than Reinhardt had expected. He originally thought that the "organization" probably occupied only a few small villages and towns, and that there were only some grassroots priests lurking there.

But now it seems that they can directly mobilize more than half of the original church resources in this area.

"What are the reactions of the other Skitarii and the Church?"

"I'm not sure, but I saw some churches and crusaders trying to stop the pursuers. They seemed to be in a state of confusion. The atmosphere was a bit tense, but the two sides did not fight."

It seems that the church reacted quickly, mobilizing the troops and resources that were still under its control to stop the troops from moving without receiving any orders.

Those pursuers will probably stop soon, after all, at this point they can still explain that it was just because "they felt the explosion and then started to chase the alien saboteurs who caused the explosion."

Their goal was to silence Reinhardt and continue to lurk in the church, rather than making a big fuss and exposing it to everyone.

"But don't be careless, I saw..."

"Don't even think about running away!"

Two angry shouts were heard not far away, and a team consisting of four level six or seven professionals found Reinhardt and his group.

Without any pause, they launched an attack. As an alien in their eyes, Krigo was the first target of their concentrated fire. It was just that they picked the wrong opponent.

The seventh-level warrior in the team died from Krigo's claw attack, the sixth-level mage was drowned by his breath, the seventh-level wanderer was hit hard on the head by the tail sweep, and finally the sixth-level priest was left.

"Kill him quickly!"

Krigo, who wanted to capture a prisoner for interrogation, heard Reinhardt's voice. Without thinking, he swung his claws and cut off the priest's head. A ray of sunlight that seemed to be liquefied flowed out from the wound, then expanded and shone violently. Krigo was almost hit, but fortunately he pushed fast enough.

"That's right. The stronger ones among them formed a team and bypassed the Crusaders who were blocking their way."

Krigo was a little scared. He looked around and saw cracks on the ground. If he was submerged by the burst of sunlight, Krigo felt that his condition would not be better than Reinhardt's.

"We are still far from becoming a legend. If we are caught in such a huge crowd, we will probably die here."

Krigo already felt that many people were approaching here from a distance, and the movement just now had attracted the attention of the pursuers.
