Don't call me evil god

Speaking honestly.

Griffin, the leader of the Crusaders, thinks he is a responsible and good leader.

Although he did not save everyone in the Ceylon region at the first moment when the monsters appeared and the disaster broke out.

But he thinks that this matter cannot be blamed on him.

Because the invasion of monsters and the advent of evil gods are actually two completely different threats.

The advent of evil gods must be accompanied by the appearance of monsters.

The appearance of monsters does not necessarily mean that evil gods have come.

Otherwise, the areas outside [Past Glory] would have been divided up by the evil gods long ago.

Then there would be no adventurers or mercenaries to hunt monsters.

Dare to step out of the protection range of [Past Glory], and you will be directly contaminated into a new monster in the next second.

Many ordinary people cannot tell the difference between the two.

They only think that if the monsters threaten their lives and safety, then it is the fault of the Glorious God Cult, why don’t the Crusaders come to save him?

In fact, it’s not that the Crusaders didn’t come.

It was just a threat from monsters, especially low-level monsters, which was not serious enough to call for the use of the Crusaders.

The members of the official Crusaders were selected from the best of the best, all of them were at least level 3 professionals.

The conditions were harsh, and the corresponding result was that there were few people.

The standing Crusaders in the entire Ceylon region were only a hundred-man regiment.

Such an elite team naturally had to focus on major events.

The core responsibility of the Crusaders was to fight against possible threats from evil gods.

For example, those cultists who tried to stir up trouble were tied to the gallows, or the monsters in the Kingdom of Reyak were eliminated.

Both of these were major events that could lead to the advent of evil gods.

As for saving people?

The Crusaders were wasting their talents for this, and they often saved people nearby while eliminating potential threats from evil gods.

...

When the disaster broke out, Griffin received news from Bishop Henry Tran that the Countess was trapped, and it was likely that the power of evil gods was secretly at work.

But Bishop Henry Tran stopped Griffin from rushing into the castle as soon as possible.

The other party vowed that he had noticed the clues through various channels, but the time was not right now. If he acted rashly, he would alert the enemy and fail to completely eliminate the threat.

What he had to do now was to prepare in advance and then solve the threat at the most appropriate time.

So Griffin led his men to the outskirts of the Countess's castle, built a defense line there first, and waited for time.

This was his duty, and he did it very well.

Griffin also investigated the situation of the Countess's castle.

It was indeed as Bishop Tran said.

"The time is not right."

He tried to get closer to the castle.

The result was that he didn't know what was going on. He was clearly walking towards the castle gate. After two steps, his eyes blurred and he found that he had just walked out of the castle gate.

According to the description of the Holy Legion members who witnessed this scene.

"You walked in, and not long after you walked through the gate, you suddenly stopped and turned around, and then walked back in big strides."

Soon, Bishop Tran's new instructions came.

"The threat of the evil power is lurking in the dark. The order in the city is chaotic and there is a shortage of manpower. The support of the Crusaders is needed to help maintain stability and eliminate monsters."

This must be done.

Normally, this task belongs to the Countess and the officials she appointed.

But the Countess cannot show up, and the city does lack organization and management.

Captain Griffin dispatched a large number of members to help.

Later.

The materials were almost collected, and the order in Ceylon City was also stabilized.

The new task given by Bishop Henry Tran was that the time had not yet come, and there were still many monsters in the Ceylon area to be eliminated, and some civilians could be saved.

This job was thrown to the Crusaders again.

Griffin worked hard.

Clean up the team, assemble and set off.

Then they came up empty-handed.

There were still some monsters in the wilderness, but all the towns and villages were deserted.

Because they all gathered in the area near Chim Town!

Captain Griffin naturally had to go to Chim Town to find out.

…

The population gathered in large numbers in a short period of time.

The original size of Qim Town certainly could not accommodate so many people.

Various tents and sheds were set up temporarily as temporary residences.

When Griffin arrived in Qim Town, he was surprised.

Although there were many people here, it was not chaotic.

It could even be called orderly.

What surprised Griffin even more was that his identity as a Crusader of the Glorious God was no longer useful!

Or rather, when ordinary people near Qim Town saw him coming, they did not feel like they were looking at a savior or a great benefactor, but instead had a slightly strange look in their eyes.

Griffin tried to find a few ordinary people to ask about the situation.

But when the other party saw the iconic Crusader armor on him, his attitude suddenly became a little cold.

It was not that they completely refused to communicate.

It was just that they were quite resistant to communication.

They only admitted that a group of powerful and selfless professionals helped them to come here to take refuge and start a new life.

As for the identity of the helpers,

All the ordinary people that Griffin asked about the situation kept silent, as if they didn't want to tell you.

This was not the most surprising thing for Griffin.

What really shocked him was a "healing center" in Qim Town.

Ordinary people who were injured or sick would go there for treatment.

Griffin followed and took a look.

"Glow God Magic?!"

"Priest profession?!"

He almost thought that his memory was wrong. Before the Crusaders were dispatched, Bishop Tran had actually sent a group of priests to rescue civilians.

However, the actual situation was not like that.

After seeing Griffin, the other party gave a very calm answer:

"The God of Glow is indeed part of our faith, and we thank Him for the power He has given us."

"But we are not members of the Glow God Cult."

"The church has never stipulated that people who have been granted magic by the God of Glow must join them, right?"

Griffin was fooled.

In his past cognition, the Glow Orthodoxy was the Glow God Cult.

The predecessors in the church had a very deep understanding of the Glow, and comprehending their experience would be more helpful in gaining the favor and blessing of the gods.

He could understand that there were a few oddballs who were unwilling to join the church.

But why did at least hundreds of priests in Qim town not join the church?

In a group with the same characteristics.

The few who do not meet this characteristic will be considered outliers.

Griffin now feels that he is the outlier!

Because among the professionals blessed by the God of Radiance in the town, only he and several other crusaders belong to the Church of Radiance!
