...

The ancient trees in the forest are twisted and branches are everywhere, and only a muddy path of sheep intestines winds into the depths of the forest. Scattered sunlight shines through the dense canopy, dispelling the darkness in the woods and adding a touch of color to this only path.

At this moment, on the trail, a girl in white was running in a panic.

It had just rained yesterday, and the already narrow path became extremely muddy. She ran and stumbled. Her white nun's suit, which represented the holy, was covered with dirt. Even one of the boots under her feet had lost, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful figure and pure and pure breath.

Because she lost her strength, her face turned pale, but she still tightly held the silver cross hanging around her neck with a long chain, and prayed in a trembling voice: "My kind and great God of Light, please give up your grace and save us~"

"Katherina, hurry up! Run!" A young soldier suddenly rushed up from behind, pulled her forward, with a sad and angry look on his pale face, "That shit God of Light has long been dead. What's the use of praying again?"

He looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was carrying a long steel sword in his hand, wearing well-crafted leather armor, which looked good in combat.

Unfortunately, he had an arrow on his back, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly as he ran. A hole was even wide open on his abdomen, and he had only had time to wrap it with a cloth. Blood continued to seep out of the wound, which was shocking.

Behind the two, several soldiers holding spears or bows were chasing them quickly.

The soldiers were wearing strong leather armor, and their weapons were shining with cold light. The eyes looked at the two of them as if they were looking at the slaughtered lamb, with a ferocious and fierce light.

They walked steadily on the muddy trail, and within a while they got closer and closer.

"Great God of Light, please give up your grace and save us~" The girl in white-clothed eyes was desperate, but she still refused to give up and prayed in a low voice.

To this day, she actually has no hope for whether God of Light is still alive. She is just at the end of her journey. This is the only life-saving straw she can grasp.

Unfortunately, like every time before, her prayers received no response.

A hint of despair flashed through her blue eyes.

Could it be that the God of Light has really fallen? Are they really destined to die here today?

Suddenly.

Katherine's soles slipped and she fell suddenly.

This time she fell very hard, and she hit the ground hard. She rolled twice before hitting the tree root next to her and stopped. The pain made her tremble all over and couldn't even stand up.

"Oops!"

The young soldier's face immediately changed drastically.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Catherine, strapped her up with difficulty, trying to continue running with her.

However, even though he had already reacted very quickly, he was still one step late. In just a blink of an eye, the soldiers had already chased them up quickly, surrounding them like wolves and tigers.

They were all direct private soldiers affiliated with Baron Gundyar.

"Hahaha~ Girl, aren't you quite able to run? Keep running~"

The bearded man in the lead laughed strangely, and he held a long spear with a shiny cold spear and approached the two of them step by step. The spear was still stained with scarlet blood, which made people's hearts cold.

"Get out!"

The young warrior felt a tightness in his heart, and immediately grabbed Catherine and protected her behind him. He angrily looked at the bearded man: "Catherine is a nun, a servant of the God of Light, dare you blaspheme!"

Although he no longer believes in the God of Light, he didn't care about so much at this time and decided to talk about it first.

"Blasphemy?" The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed arrogantly as if he had heard some joke, "Idiot! Your Majesty has publicly announced the fall of the God of Light, and the official letter to ban the extermination of the Church of Light has been published nationwide. It's ridiculous that you still dare to believe in the shit God of Light."

"Impossible, Father Luke listened to the will of the God of Light more than a year ago!" Catherine's face was pale, and she struggled hard like a lioness forced into a desperate situation, with a sad and angry voice, "How could the great Lord of Light, my Lord, fall?!"

More than a year ago, it was when Wu Hui had not inherited the position of the God of Light.

"Father Luke?" The bearded laughed strangely, "You are talking about the madman who dares to go to the Holy City to preach heresy? Hahaha, if the God of Light is really alive, why didn't he show his miracle when the madman was sentenced in the Holy City Square half a year ago?"

Katherine's face turned paler when she heard this, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Although I had heard bad rumors for a long time, I couldn't believe it. Unexpectedly, everything was real. Father Luke, he was really... martyred, martyred...

Katherine tightly held the silver cross that Father Luke gave her before leaving, tears fell down, dripping across her tender and fair cheeks.

"Hahaha~ Little nun, you should give up! If that God of Light was still alive, how could we let us eradicate the Temple of Light and the Monastery? We would have been punished by miracles long ago." The bearded smiled strangely, "I advise you to give up resistance and have fun with us brothers~ When we are happy, we may be able to spare your life."

"Shut up!!"

The young warrior endured it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He roared and rushed forward, stabbing the bearded with a sudden sword: "Katherina, don't talk nonsense to them, go quickly! I'll cut off the back for you!"

His swordsmanship is good, and he has obviously received systematic teaching and long-term training. His move is like lightning, and his sword is fierce, and he forced his beard to take a step back.

Unfortunately, his injuries were too serious, and he was a small number of people. Even if he temporarily forced his beard to retreat, he was unable to take advantage of the victory. However, in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded again.

Under the joint siege of several soldiers, within a while, two new wounds were added to his body, and the dripping blood almost dyed his clothes all over his body scarlet.

"A kind and great God~ Do you really want to give up your people?"

Looking at the young warriors fighting bloody backs, Catherine's eyes were dim and deep despair appeared in her azure blue eyes.

To this day, let alone she can't escape, so what if she escapes?

There were soldiers everywhere outside who were searching for them, the so-called "remnants of light". She was just a little nun with no power and no one to protect her. Not to mention surviving the soldiers' search, even the forest where wild beasts appeared might not be able to walk out.

Is there really no hope?

Katherine bit her lower lip tightly, and her delicate lips were bleeding. But she seemed to have not felt it, and she still tightly pinched the silver cross in her hand, until her knuckles turned white without letting go.

The last time.

Let her try again last time.

If she fails, at worst, she will be martyred like Father Luke today!

As soon as she thought of this, she seemed to have great courage in her heart, and her eyes became extremely firm in an instant. She closed her eyes suddenly, held the silver cross with both hands, and sang the hymn of hope with tears in her eyes.

"Great Light Lord, my Lord~ You are the only star in the eternal night, guiding the confused people toward light. I praise you, the great Lord of Light..."

The ethereal songs fluttered in the dim woods.

Straws of sunlight passed through the tree canopy and fell on Catherine's muddy body and face. She was obviously in a mess at the moment, but at this moment, she inexplicably exuded a bit of holy aura.

Before she knew it, her bent down slowly straightened up, and even her voice stopped trembling, becoming firm and persistent.

"Katherina!"

The scene of the young soldier Landon opening his blood-covered eyes, feeling sad and desperate.

How he hoped that Catherine would abandon him and escape alone at this time, but he also knew that Catherine was not such a person.

Even in the monastery with numerous nuns, Catherine was the purest one. She was always gentle and firm. Even Father Luke praised her as a good seedling and expected to become a noble nun in the future.

How could she abandon herself in desperate situations?

"Oh~" Langdon sighed. This time everyone was about to die here, with desperate determination in his eyes.

"Hahaha~ What a stupid nun. He is about to die and even sing a hymn."

The bearded shot Langdon away with a shot, and looked at the two of them with the look of looking at the prey and said jokingly: "Since your God of Light is so great, come on, show us a miracle. That shitty light..."

However, he had just said halfway through his words and suddenly froze.

Because at that moment just now, the silver cross pendant in Catherine's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light.

It blinded people's eyes.
