Chapter 138: Why Did the Church of Light Send Her to the Front Lines?
"It seems I have been stood up by the Holy Alliance."
While the seven legends and five legions were fighting together on Dragonspine Mountain, Lolth leisurely strolled around the new western camp and came to a clear conclusion.
The Holy Alliance has no intention of attacking at all!
After the enthusiastic Seychelles soldier Pilaf’s team was called away, Lolth was left alone in the tent.
She was not really a simple country girl, so it was impossible for her to just sit in the lounge and drink tea.
Just as Pilaf went to welcome the important person from The Church of Light, Lolth started wandering around the camp, looking for clues about the upcoming attack in the New West Line.
A secret attack plan, even kept hidden from the lower ranks, would still show some signs in the camp.
The movement of supplies and equipment, the maintenance of logistics, the daily training of the team, and the food situation…
For Lolth, a traveler with a wealth of knowledge, just a quick glance was enough to understand the scale of this operation.
Where there is existence, there are traces—facts do not lie.
However, the problem was… After some investigation, Lolth discovered that the Holy Alliance’s New West Line was quiet and peaceful so far, showing no signs of an attack in the near future.
Regular patrols and training were taking place, and the logistics department showed no movement of equipment or supplies.
Besides feeling abandoned, Lolth could think of no other explanation.
Yet, she felt that it shouldn’t be…
The plan was truly handed over to Isabella.
It was done so carefully; it can’t just be a trick on her own part, right?
At this moment, Lolth was completely unaware of a more terrifying possibility.
After all, she didn’t know that the Demon Army and the Holy Alliance on Dragonspine Mountain were nearly losing their minds.
After thinking for a moment, she came to a conclusion.
The problem lies with that "big shot" from The Church of Light!
Just like how the Demon King moved Shelldor from the central line to the west line, this counterattack plan must have a heavy-weight commander.
It appears that this person from The Church of Light is the one.
But for some reason, this big shot has only just arrived at the new west line.
However, perhaps they were held up on the road.
But no matter what, Lolth still had to keep saying that there was no battle on the western front, making the Demon King think that the information and interrogation were useless.
"Since I’m here, I might as well see what kind of great figure this is…"
Thinking this, Lolth activated her Magic Perception, feeling the energy of the entire camp.
Sure enough, there was a powerful presence, filled with a holy and bright feeling, more intense than the last place.
It was legendary, and not just at the beginner level.
"Wow, a really strong one has come."
Following the direction of the sensed energy, Lolth pretended to be lost as she turned to approach the entrance of the camp.
From a distance, Lolth saw soldiers from Seychelles lined up in two rows, seemingly welcoming her, along with soldiers in white armor slowly entering.
Pure white lightweight armor covered their bodies, and the same white, square helmets concealed everyone’s faces, leaving only their determined eyes visible. The bright yellow capes were embroidered with large silver crosses, and the whole team was silent, dignified, solemn, and sacred, creating a strong sense of pressure.
Although each soldier was of Elite Level, when gathered together, it seemed as if they could slay legends.
In the middle of the group, there were cavalry riding pure white armored warhorses, also dressed in white armor but appearing much heavier. The emblem of the cross was directly stamped on their chest plates.
In the heart of the cavalry, two knights held a flag with a bright yellow background, also featuring a massive silver cross.
However, the cross on this flag had more details – in the center of the silver cross was a partially unfurled scroll design.
"Sanctuary Knights · The Oracle!"
This was the backbone of The Church of Light and one of the three Grand Knight orders of the Holy Lieto Empire.
Lolth, who had read the Biography of the Lady of Light, easily recognized this knight order and knew right away who the one Legend Level Knight was, the only one without a helmet or face guard in this group of cavalry.
With a flaxen scorpion-tail whip, a face sprinkled with freckles, and clear light gray eyes… even though her features looked like those of a girl from a small town, she was indeed the leader of the "Oracle" Knight Order.
If we talk about the young knights of the continent, the one whose talent and ability could surpass Isabella would be the one now riding the war horse.
"Janine Irene."
At twenty-one years old, she is even a year younger than Isabella, yet she is also a legendary Grand Knight.
However, as a Paladin belonging to the church, her strength might seem to rely on "external help" in the eyes of traditional knights like Isabella.
But her fighting power is truly remarkable.
Moreover, Janine Irene not only serves as the captain of the Oracles Knight Order, but she is also the personal guardian of the current Lady of Light.
According to rumors of unknown origin, she has been by the side of the current Lady of Light since childhood, as close as sisters!
Additionally, the main duty of the Oracles Knight Order is to protect important figures like the Pope, Cardinal, and Saintess of The Church of Light, so wherever Janine Irene is, the Lady of Light is almost always there too.
Therefore, Lolth was quite surprised to see this person.
"Why did the Church of Light send this guy…?"
I thought they would send someone from the ‘Compassion’ or ‘Judgment’ knight orders, or maybe even someone from the Inquisition… but to my surprise, it was actually the Oracle.
Why is Janine Irene not at Eden Palace watching the Lady of Light come here?
Could it be that the Lady of Light is coming to the front lines? That’s definitely impossible.
Unlike other bishops and priests, the pope and saintess within the bounds of Eden Palace are almost invincible.
Once they leave Eden Palace, they are still strong, but they are no longer invincible.
Even if the saintess faces no real danger in Eden Palace, her own knight order cannot come to the battlefield while other knight orders and church priests are mostly idle.
The Oracles Knight Order without the saintess is about as strong as the Compassion and Judgment orders!
A mere Vera Plain… surely it doesn’t warrant the saintess coming to deal with it herself?
Lolth felt even more confused about the situation and arrangement in the New Western Line.
Just when she was in a tangle, Janine Irene, who had been looking ahead, suddenly shifted her gaze past the Oracle Knight and the soldiers of Seychelles, focusing on Lolth in the distance who was watching her!
