Demon Royal Family

The captain walked up to Ivo, "You did all this? Are you a priest?"

Ivo nodded, "Yes."

The captain said calmly: "Young man is pretty good. Keep working hard. The priest in the city will follow me soon. I will introduce you to him when the time comes."

Ivo's mouth twitched and his eyes looked strange.

The captain looked at the townspeople and said loudly: "I want to move you immediately, abandon the town, pack your things, and we will set off soon."

The townspeople were in an uproar and whispering, and most people were reluctant to leave the small town where they lived day and night.

“Where do we move to?”

"Go to town."

Ivo frowned and interjected: "There are no towns within dozens of miles of Green Field Town. It would take at least a day and a night to move so many people. There is a high chance that they will be attacked by underground monsters on the way. Without fortifications, The situation is actually more dangerous.”

The captain's face was stern, "With five hundred of our cavalry escorts, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"The crack in the ground is not far from Greenfield Town. If the town is abandoned, the underground monsters will disperse to other places, making it more difficult to control."

The captain hummed: "It's dangerous to stay. The underground monsters will attack again at any time."

"I think it's best to scout out the cracks in the ground first, hold on to the town, and ask for help from nearby territories to minimize the disaster. Staying may seem dangerous, but it's actually safer than running away..."

"That's enough!" The captain interrupted Ivo impatiently and said coldly: "Which one knows how to fight, or me?"

Ivo raised his brows and stopped talking. Since the other party couldn't listen, he didn't bother to propose any more. The life and death of Greenfield Town had nothing to do with him.

Under the captain's order, the townspeople reluctantly packed their things. After careful consideration, many people felt that Ivo's plan seemed safer, but the captain controlled the army and the townspeople could not make the decision.

Soon, thousands of townspeople, escorted by 500 cavalry, left the town under the cover of night.

…

There were many wounded among the townspeople, which slowed down the marching speed. The smell of blood spread far away. Even if there were no underground monsters to chase them, they would attract wild beasts. Not only Ivo, but many townspeople also discovered this and expressed their feelings towards the captain. decision-making is more skeptical.

Ivo approached the mayor and said, "I want to take away the reward."

The mayor's face changed slightly, "Do you want to leave us?"

Ivo nodded, "There is a high chance that you will encounter enemies along the way. I don't want to cause trouble. If you are willing to listen to me, it is best to return to the town and hold on."

The captain who was riding on horseback heard this and was dissatisfied with Ivo's repeated denial of his plan. He glanced condescendingly and said, "You want to escape from the battle?"

"I am not your subordinate, and I have no obligation to protect you." Ivo shook his head and spoke bluntly.

The mayor had no choice but to have people bring enough food and drinks as Ivo's reward.

After Ivo put it away, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Bendik gritted his teeth. In his heart, Ivo was the most reliable among these people. He had the courage to stop Ivo and said sincerely: "Priest, please protect us."

Ivo shook his head, "I still have to hurry."

The captain looked at this scene and curled his lips, "I don't know what is good or bad."

At this moment, a carriage engraved with the emblem of the Holy See drove from a distance, accompanied by twenty or thirty priests. This was the team of priests in the city.

The captain's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot about Ivo, and hurriedly dismounted his horse to greet him, "You are finally here, Father Priest."

The priest was a serious middle-aged man. He stepped out of the carriage and nodded to the captain, "I brought the church's men to help."

The captain looked respectful, "This is our honor."

After a few polite words, the priest noticed that Bendick, who was wearing a priest's robe, was entangled with a tall man, and asked curiously: "What's going on?"

The captain showed disdain and said: "That is a priest with some strength. He is afraid of underground monster attacks and wants to escape."

The priest shook his head and said solemnly: "Escaping from battle is a disgraceful cowardly act. As a priest, you should protect believers. If you don't mind, I would like to give him some teachings and guide him on the right path."

The captain smiled brightly and said, "I have no objection."

The two walked towards Ivo, and Bendik's various pleadings could be heard from a distance, but Ivo remained unmoved. The priest frowned, feeling even more dissatisfied. He came behind Ivo and spoke in a deep voice. , said sternly: "As a priest, the most important thing is to listen to the requests of believers. You are very unqualified!"

Bendik waved his hands repeatedly, intending to defend Ivo, "No, that's not the case."

The captain laughed and watched the show. Ivo repeatedly denied his plan, which made him very dissatisfied.

At this time, Ivo finally turned around and looked at the priest with a strange look on his face, "Who are you?"

"Bold! This is the priest, you must use the honorific title!" The captain's face was serious and he shouted coldly, worried that Ivo would offend the priest.

The captain looked at the priest's reaction and was shocked to find that the priest's eyes were wide open with an expression of disbelief on his face. He was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it was Ivo's rudeness that angered the priest, and he felt a thump in his heart. He yelled at Ivo: "You rude guy, quickly apologize to the priest!"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly the priest shouted at the captain, his face turning red.

The captain was stunned. He didn't understand why the priest yelled at him.

The next moment, the priest actually showed Ivo the solemn etiquette of a subordinate meeting his superior. He bent his straight waist, lowered his noble head, and forced a smile on his stern face, saying in a deep voice: "Priest. Keton, join the chief deacon!"

The captain is confused!

Bendick is confused!

The mayor is confused!

The onlookers were stunned!

The priest actually saluted Ivo! And he acted like he was frightened in front of a big shot!

What's going on? !

Who is this young priest? !

Ivo looked surprised, "How did you recognize me?"

The priest lost the momentum he had just now. He bent down and said respectfully: "I have been fortunate enough to see your portrait." Of course he did not dare to say that it was during the Ivo Redeemer period, when the church issued portraits of all local priests. Ivo was notorious. Who would have thought that a few months later, Ivo would soar to become a popular figure around the Pope, holding the right to vote and nominate in the election. He was treated like a red archbishop and a white priest!

"You...who are you?" The captain hurriedly changed his name to the honorific, and his tone was cautious.

The priest made a serious face and answered for Ivo: "This big man is the chief deacon of the Pope, equivalent to the cardinal archbishop in some cases, Ivo Harricon!"

A big shot equivalent to the level of a red archbishop? !

Everyone was not only stunned, they were simply frightened!

The captain had a dull look on his face. He immediately thought of another identity of the name "Ivo Harricon". He was one of the strongest commanders in the Hokuriku, the man who turned the tide of the three-year war in the Hokuriku, and the brightest general star. The news was spreading among the legions, and he knew about it.

Thinking that not long ago, he actually said to the commander-in-chief who had a record that was a hundred blocks ahead of him, "Who knows how to fight, or I?", the captain wanted to dig a deep hole and bury himself in it.

My face was burning and completely swollen from the beating!

It’s so embarrassing!

The captain suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, everyone returns to the town along the same route!"

In the shadow of the famous tree, a great commander denied his tactics. How dare the captain feel any dissatisfaction in his heart? He immediately adopted Ivo's suggestion and wanted to remedy the situation.

Ivo glanced at the captain and said nothing, but the captain broke out in a cold sweat. He was panicking about the meaning of this look. He knew that he had left a bad impression on Ivo, so he did not dare to talk to Ivo. Slid away.

The mayor looked in disbelief. Just now the captain was arrogant and scolded Ivo, but now he didn't even dare to say anything to Ivo. Ivo glared at him and walked away in despair.

The mayor was terrified. If he had known that Ivo's status was so high, how could he have dared to let Ivo stay in the town to help. Of course, the mayor was more grateful. Fortunately, Ivo stayed and Greenfield Town was saved.

Ivo exchanged polite words with the priest, smiled when he saw the townspeople preparing to return the same way, and was about to leave when a continuous roar suddenly sounded in the distance.

Ivo suddenly looked back and saw a dark mass of underground creatures in the distance, rushing towards the townspeople. The number was even greater than when they attacked the town.
