"Damn it! These haunting guys!"

Whispered curses came from the sparse forest, and a vigorous figure ran wildly under the cover of the night. He seemed to be in a panic, but every step he took was cautious, as if he was afraid of the bumps on his back.

Like that graceful figure...

…

The moon is at the zenith.

In a dense forest dozens of miles away from the royal city...

Slowly opening his eyes, what came into view was the jumping bonfire and Yale's handsome face...

Ding Lei rubbed his eyes vigorously and slowly sat up with his tired body.

"you're awake!

Let’s have something to eat, I’ve slept all day and all night!”

After Yale fiddled with the bonfire a few times, he handed over a roasted golden rabbit leg.

"One day and one night? It seems to be a side effect of leapfrog magic!"

He ran his slender palms through his long hair and rubbed his temples vigorously. After looking at the surrounding environment, Ding Lei looked at Yale with confusion.

"We failed! It's already a miracle that we can escape!"

Yale smiled bitterly and retracted his hand, but still had that smile on his face, "Although your miraculous magic razed the Tower of Light to the ground, both Ole and Chris survived...

It is a great talisman of light, and the magic barrier deployed with all its strength has borne most of the damage..."

Yale's tone was gentle, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"damn it!"

Ding Lei clenched his fist and hammered the ground hard, his face looked very ugly.

"However, their losses are not small. All the magicians and treasonous palace guards of the White Night Empire were wiped out. Although the demon puppets are still there, Ole and the others cannot control them for the time being..." Yale smiled and tried to comfort him.

"Is the royal city now?" Ding Lei asked tentatively with a gloomy expression.

"The battle is over, Ole succeeded!"

Yale fiddled with the bonfire a few times with a tree stick and replied without raising his head: "Aure is in charge of the military power of several provinces near the royal city. Coupled with the troops in his own territory, the guards in the royal city can't resist at all...

Now Aure has taken control of the royal city, but without the recognition of the royal family, other princes and provinces will not bow to him easily, so he has a lot to do."

Yale laughed and gloated, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes.

"As for Her Royal Highness Jaina...

The archbishop came forward to take away her body. As a princess of a country, the church will bury her properly..."

When Gianna was mentioned again, Ding Lei felt a twinge in his heart...

It was only a few days since he traveled to another world, but that gentle and kind girl was almost regarded as a goddess by him. In addition, Tina's memory was gradually merged with him, so he still couldn't accept the loss of Gianna.

"The Church of Light! Your Church of Light is not..."

Thinking of the church's indifferent attitude, Ding Lei asked coldly.

"Everything is fickle and the rules will always change, Miss Tina."

Yale sighed, his eyes full of loneliness.

"The Holy See has always been the supreme being, even the emperor of the White Night Empire was crowned by the Pope.

The people under the protection of the Goddess of Light cannot kill each other, which is why many countries around Ogilia can maintain balance, but now the empire actually takes the initiative to invade the Kingdom of Ogilia, what does that mean?"

Yale explained slowly, but his tone became deeper and deeper, "Explain the imperial power...

It has surpassed the power of the gods, and the empire has the power to suppress the Holy See. Even the Pope has to bow his head..."

"You mean, the Church of Light acquiesces to the empire's aggression?" Ding Lei asked in disbelief, because in Tina's memory, the church has always been a sacred and inviolable existence.

"That's right!"

Yale nodded vigorously, "So from now on, the goddess of light can no longer protect her people..."

In a word, Ding Lei's expression darkened and he fell into silence again. The many disputes and competitions in this other world really gave him a headache...

The supreme Church of Light, the White Night Empire that is powerful enough to overwhelm the divine authority, the precarious Ogilia, and Jaina’s instructions...

"Do you... have any plans?"

After thinking for a long time, Yale finally asked what he wanted to know most.

"Intend?"

Ding Lei tilted his head and slowly sorted out his thoughts.

His loneliness and helplessness made Yale secretly feel distressed, but the perseverance in his eyes was unpredictable...

"There are no plans yet...

But one thing won’t change!”

Ding Lei stood up slowly, turned his head and looked firmly in the direction of Ogilia King City, his slender index finger pointing straight into the distance.

"Take back the royal city!

Take it back from the White Night Empire!

No matter how hard it takes!

No matter how slim the hope is!

I can't even give up!

Because Gianna...please asked me!"

"Your Highness Gianna!" Yale nodded slightly, seeming to understand what he said.

"That's right!" Ding Lei's eyes suddenly glowed with light, and his expression became solemn and sacred.

"Because from today on, I am Gianna!

The subjugated princess Jaina Ogilia!

Gianna Ogilia carries the future and hope of Ogilia!"

The crisp voice seemed to contain infinite power and magic. The flames in Ding Lei's heart completely burned his name. From this moment on, he decided to live in place of Gianna, in place of the girl who was like his first love!

The breeze in the forest blew the hem of her skirt, and the soft moonlight shone on her body. She looked like a newborn Gianna standing proudly. This scene made Yale tremble all over. The peerless figure that came into view seemed to fill the gap in his heart just now.

I lost my faith recently...

"What are your plans, Priest Yale?"

After standing quietly for a while, Gianna turned her head and asked Yale, who was already stunned, "No matter what, you helped me against the will of the Holy See. The Church of Light will definitely not be able to go back, and Ole will not let you go easily.

Over your...

Speaking of which, it’s all my fault!”

Gianna's words were full of apology, but Yale didn't feel any regret for his actions at this moment.

"It doesn't matter anymore, Dee...

No, Your Highness Jaina!"

Yale bowed and solemnly performed a standard court ceremony.

"I have been abandoned by the goddess of light. If it were in the past, this would have made me crazy. A light magician who has lost his faith...

It doesn't get much worse than this..."

"I'm sorry! You were trying to protect me, and it was all my fault..." Jaina smiled bitterly, but Yale shook his head.

"No, Your Highness Jaina! It's different now! Because I have new faith..."

Yale suddenly became serious. He took a step back, knelt on the ground on one knee, and spoke piously and seriously.

"Let me swear allegiance to you, Your Highness!

If restoration of the country is your wish, then following your footsteps will be my lifelong wish!"

"Follow me?" Jaina was startled, suddenly as if she was dumbfounded, "I want to go, but it is a road of no return, and I don't know where the road is now!"

She wanted to push it off, but Yale didn't say anything, just waiting quietly for something...

The soft moonlight shone on the two of them, and the knight swore allegiance to the beautiful princess. This strange scene made her a little overwhelmed...

"Suffering, it's a heart-pounding feeling...

No, no, no, this situation is not good..."

Just as she was hesitating what to do, a rustling sound in the woods broke the delicate atmosphere...

"Here...found..."

"Surround them up, the order is to capture them alive..."

"There are only two of them..."
To be continued...
