The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1665 - 469: The Holy Daughter's "Last Words" (Part 4)

"You are all my children."

She seemed to say these words in the name of Saint Sis.

Believing it was the manifestation of Saint Sis, countless followers knelt excitedly on the spot, but when they raised their heads again, the Holy Daughter standing there had already disappeared.

The corruption of chaos has been dispelled, the war between gods has ended, and next to take the stage will be the secular kings.

Perhaps Saint Sis didn't know who to help, so she gave an oracle and took her away...

In Twilight City, winds and clouds surged, and some sharp-sensed individuals already caught the wind of change.

Rumor has it that the king's steward publicly accused the governor of treason at the celebration banquet, veiledly questioning the impure motives of the Campbell Duchy.

He wasn't wrong, but to accuse others of impure motives is to assume oneself is pure, can the king be such an innocent rabbit?

Fortunately, Erin now is not the naive little girl from before.

Her heart is as firm as her sword, and she wouldn't be embarrassed just because an old man veiledly accused her with a few words.

Of course, she retorted unceremoniously, scolding the self-righteous Skylar into a faint on the spot.

The Campbell people did not serve the king for free; most of them came here because of the governor's land promises.

These landless farmers just wanted some land to till, and coincidentally, Twilight Province had large tracts of abandoned land.

They were willing to go there to reclaim it, just as they once sailed down the river to the south of the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range to open up territory for the kingdom.

Now is the time for them to sail upstream, to serve the king!

However——

The king would never let them have their wish.

Anyone could plant the land, but not the Campbell people.

Because behind them is a truly powerful duchy that might gradually turn Twilight Province into the Dusk Duchy as they farm.

A weak Twilight Province belongs to the Devalu family, while a prosperous Twilight Province would only benefit Thunder City's industrial and commercial magnates.

So it's better to keep it weak.

In this matter, Baron Elaric even appears to be flirting with the Campbell Duchy...

As various forces eyed the soon-to-be-divided cake, the Salvation Army became the only maverick among them.

They did not participate in the division but quietly packed their bags and left Twilight City... though they were never at the table to cut the cake.

Perhaps sensing the impending storm, Holy Maiden Carian not only turned away those who wished to follow her but also disbanded most of the army, leaving only the elite.

The soldiers who were disbanded were mostly farmers helping with the numbers.

These people were not professional soldiers; when serving the lord, they fought when there was war and farmed when there wasn't.

Now they have been allocated land in Sparrow Wood Territory, and with the busy farming season approaching, it's time to return and prepare for a good harvest this year.

Unlike other places, as long as they're honest, they can indeed get through this peacefully in Sparrow Wood Territory.

After all, with the efforts of the "Holy Spirits," the churches burned by Brennan have mostly been rebuilt and can easily pass inspections.

The priests and nuns hiding in the castles were unharmed and did not suffer inhuman treatment due to the city's fall.

In gratitude for their salvation, the clergy promised the Holy Maiden that, for the sake of their shared faith in the same divine, they would protect the farmers who had once forgiven them.

And this was also for their own good.

As for the elites Carian kept, some were intelligence personnel trained by Sarah, others were former members of the Green Forest Army like Brennan, and people like Rayden who were deeply tied to the Salvation Army.

The farmers could return to farming, but they could not go back.

Moreover, only when they left could others shift all the blame onto them and survive...

As for those intelligence personnel, they did not leave with Carian but scattered across the castles and villages under various identities.

Some were farmers, some hunters, some were soldiers who once served the lord, and others were castle servants.

They did not know each other and only contacted their superiors directly, gathering for specific tasks when necessary.

As the eyes of the Salvation Army in Sparrow Wood Territory, they not only monitored the Judicial Court's movements but also served as a sword hanging over Earl Thelon's head.

On the first day this earl returned to the castle, the Salvation Army's intelligence personnel gave him a shock; they placed a dagger under his pillow and replaced his evening wine with water.

Perhaps it won't be long before the Judicial Court arrives to sweep away the so-called evil, but they cannot stay here forever.

Thelon is now a lone wolf.

And those who can kill him have just temporarily left, they are not dead.

At least until Holy Maiden Carian is caught and burned by the Church Court, he could only choose to swallow his pride and endure quietly...

As for those elite members of the Salvation Army who left with Holy Maiden Carian, no one knows where they have gone.

Some say they are still in Twilight City, nowhere else. Others say they went deep into the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range to train and accumulate strength to fight evil powers.

Still, others say they fled to the Northern Realm of the Rhode Kingdom, spreading the Gospel of the "Divine Son" there, and it seemed they brought with them the "New Testament" granted by the Divine Son.

Perhaps they were all correct, or maybe those were just smokescreens.

After all, until now, no one has truly seen that "New Testament," just as most people have never read the "Holy Word Book."

But what is different is that everyone is curious about that book.

Whether they're farmers in the fields or the Grand Duke far away in Thunder City...
