Imperial Front.
Sophia wrapped herself tightly in armor and wore a full-face helmet with only her eyes exposed.
The mission targets of imperial scouts are generally abyss erosion areas, so their defense capabilities are better than those of heavy armored infantry.
Soldiers cannot disguise themselves as Fallen. Once they encounter a Fallen or a demon in the erosion zone, a fierce battle will inevitably begin.
Armor weighing dozens of kilograms will not affect a soldier's movement, but it can greatly improve a soldier's chance of survival.
Soldiers wearing scout equipment are not exposed.
Along the way, Sophia clearly felt that the entire defense line was filled with an atmosphere of joy and even relaxation.
After returning to the military camp area, she discovered that groups of majestic knights, wearing silver heavy armor and tall horses, were patrolling back and forth outside the defense line.
The aura of these knights is unified and extremely powerful.
The sunlight shines on the silver armor, and the reflected light seems to be more dazzling than the sun itself.
Sophia herself is just a third-level monster with very poor sensing ability. It would be fair to say that she is blind.
But even so, she could see how powerful these knights were.
Among them, I am afraid that none is lower than the fifth level.
The quality is at least rare, or even higher.
These knights and the imperial troops are distinct and have no influence on each other.
"Are these the troops of the Holy Temple?"
Sophia swallowed, raised her head and chest, trying to look normal.
Now, she's also stepping into the role of "The Devil's Minion."
Chen Yu is a powerful demon noble, isn't she a demon minion?
After bypassing these patrolling knights, Sophia quickly returned to her military camp.
Chen Yu hadn't yet understood the nature of the mission, so when he tried to change military ranks, he could reach the highest level of a two-star warrior commander.
He has sixty teams, about two thousand people.
The entire camp was carefully selected by Sophia and then brainwashed vigorously.
Naturally there are some diehards among them.
These people are Sophia's targets.
However, when she walked into the military camp, she found that something was wrong.
In the military camp, although the ordinary soldiers were still there, there were more than two hundred knights from the Templar force, standing scattered throughout the military camp.
There are no such people in other military camps.
Sophia's heart suddenly sank.
The military camp belonging to Chen Yu was given special attention.
These knights may come with bad intentions.
She quietly withdrew without revealing her identity.
"files--"
Just as she walked out of the camp gate, two crossed lances blocked her way.
"Lady Sophia," said a knight, "please follow us, His Highness wants to see you."
"You have mistaken me. I am an ordinary imperial scout."
A dull male voice came from the tight helmet.
The two knights looked at each other, a little surprised.
Sophia took off her helmet.
Under the helmet was a weathered face of a middle-aged man.
"You two, I have important information to convey, please don't waste my time, thank you!"
Sophia bowed to the two knights.
"this……"
"Sorry, it was our mistake."
The two knights moved out of the way.
Sophia's legs were tense and she stepped slowly.
Once out of sight of the two knights, she would flee at full speed.
"etc--"
At this moment, an ethereal and elegant female voice suddenly came from behind her.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Sophia's forehead.
However, she still remained calm and slowly turned around to look at the source of the sound.
At the entrance of the central military tent, stood a quiet girl.
She wears a white nun's uniform with gold trim, her eyes are covered with black gauze, and her eye-catching long black hair hangs down to her waist. Her temperament is elegant and noble, but she also looks approachable.
Although her eyes were covered, her nearly perfect facial contours, delicate nose and lips all proved her stunning beauty.
The girl's steps were slow, but she quickly walked in front of Sophia.
"Your Highness the Saint!"
The two knights who stopped Sophia saluted the girl.
"Saint?" Sophia's heart skipped a beat.
But she still didn't panic at all, and followed the example of the two knights and saluted the girl.
The girl smiled and nodded, and said: "Hello, I am Lucifer Agares, the Saint of the Holy See of the Light Wing Empire."
"Hello, Your Royal Highness," Sofia said, "I am Elmont Zola, the scout of the Empire's frontline defense line."
"May the divine be with you, and may happiness be by your side, dear Miss Felicia Sistana Salontan." The girl smiled lightly and stretched out a slender white hand to Sophia.
"Clang——"
The helmet held in Sophia's hand fell to the ground.
Her pupils suddenly shrank and she looked at the girl in disbelief.
After the initial panic, Sophia quickly regained her composure.
"Your Highness the Saint, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Salontan...Miss Sophia, I don't pay attention to your past." The girl said lightly, "Please tell me, where is he?"
"Your Highness the Saint, you seem to have recognized the wrong person. I am not the person you are looking for, and I don't know who he is in your mouth." Sophia said with a hint of just right indignation, "Besides, I am a male."
"No need to pretend." The girl seemed to have lost her patience, with a gloomy expression on her face.
"You have his breath on you, and it's very strong in your mouth."
"Less than an hour ago, something that belonged to him was stuffed in your damn mouth!"
The two knights guarding the side suddenly widened their eyes, and their shock was palpable.
Immediately, they turned their faces away and turned on the deaf-mute-blind mode.
After Sophia was initially nervous and panicked, she showed a playful expression.
Because, the high-ranking holy lady in front of me...
Jealousy!
She knew the man behind her.
And jealous of the interesting things that happened to him and him.
A saint from the temple and a strong man from the abyss.
Among them, it seems...
"Your Highness the Saint."
Sophia smiled playfully, and her voice returned to a female voice.
Then he reached out and touched his face, and his image returned to its original appearance.
There was a hint of provocation in his tone.
"May I know what your purpose is in searching for Lord Sarando?"
"If you don't tell me, I will..."
"Catch him and torture him!" the girl suddenly shouted coldly.
The two knights standing aside immediately put their swords on Sophia's neck.
Sophia suddenly stiffened.
"Wait a minute - I have something to say!"
The girl waved her hand.
The two knights took back their swords.
"I can lead you, but I will only tell you one person, and no one else is allowed to go!"
"Okay." The girl nodded and said to the two knights, "I have to leave for a while. Please evacuate the people here."
"Your Highness..." The two knights looked worried.
"Go." The girl waved her hand.
"yes……"
The two knights rode off.
"Let's go!" The girl looked at Sophia.
"OK."
Sophia led the way dejectedly.
She considers herself a smart person.
But in front of Her Majesty the Saint, her proud scheming and wisdom were completely suppressed.
Like a transparent person, any tiny mental activity is dissected cleanly by the other party.
Every word of the saint hit the most critical point in her heart.
By deliberately naming her real name, I had completely mastered the rhythm of the conversation.
The feeling of jealousy was real, but it was also deliberately shown to her.
This is the saint telling Sophia that the saint knows the person behind Sophia, and the relationship is very unusual. There is a high probability that the two parties will not be hostile.
This directly cut off the reason in Sophia's heart that she would rather die than surrender.
When Sophia tried to blackmail the saint and ask for more information, she was suppressed by force.
This is what the saint is telling Sophia.
"I know his current situation and I know he needs me. Sooner or later you have to tell me where he is."
"My beating on you today will be in vain. It will not affect the relationship between me and him. It will only make him think that you are a loser who cannot see the situation clearly!"
She was taken advantage of.
Every expression, every movement, every word was captured.
However, facing an existence whose power, status, character, intelligence, and force were many levels above hers, she couldn't even think of resisting.
Forget it, accept your fate.
