"Archbishop Benedictus is here somewhere."
Located in the palace of the Lord of Sun Chaser City, Rias and Lucia happened to be discussing things with Theron when they heard soldiers coming to report.
They finally came, after crawling for so many days, they only arrived today.
Wang Chu calculated the time and found that four or five days had passed since the last time he received news that he was coming.
These guys could really wait until now to come.
"We are almost at the city gate." the soldier replied.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?
Get ready and we'll leave the city immediately to greet them."
Theron said dissatisfied, then turned to Rias and the two of them.
"General Rias, let's go together."
"Um."
The identity of the other party almost represents the status of the cathedral of the entire Asta Empire, which is similar to that of the military generalissimo or a marshal with real power.
The proper etiquette must still be observed.
Wang Chu followed the two men towards the city gate.
It was the gate where a large number of corpses were burned when they came the day before yesterday.
Now the burning area has been cleaned up, and all the mud on the road leading to the city gate has been eradicated, except for flower branches.
The trees were not planted in time and other places were fine.
The streets are still in the same depressed state, and normal trade has not yet resumed in the city.
They have been living on big pot meals for the past two days.
What the two of them were discussing just now was the issue of food.
The food they brought from the Sunset Mountains has been There is not much left, and the fish left in the river after the flood receded have become stinky and inedible.
There is no better food substitute at the moment.
We can only send a large number of soldiers to the mountains every day to pick something edible.
Even leaves can be eaten as vegetables as long as they are not poisonous.
He was almost starving.
Since yesterday, Wang Chu felt that the sweet potatoes, which were as dry as mud, were particularly delicious, and they were delicious with a little sauce.
When the team reached the city gate, there was almost no one in this area, like an empty city.
There were too many rotting corpses staying here before, and even now there is still a pungent smell all around.
No one rushed to these places because there were no businesses and the shops on both sides were closed.
Theron just led a team of more than thirty people to wait at the city gate.
As the representative of Sun City Cathedral, Andrea was of course also beside him.
"Fortunately, I finally dared to go."
Rias and everyone had just reached the road outside the city gate when they saw a group of people holding golden flags slowly approaching in the distance.
"That's the cathedral's priests," Lucia asked from the side.
Wang Chu stretched his neck and looked from a distance.
A group of people walked in the distance, all holding white-striped or golden flags.
The people who could be seen were mainly wearing golden armor and white-striped magic robes, a typical team of priests and paladins.
"Well, I saw that the largest flag at the front is not there.
Only the cathedral in the imperial capital can use that flag."
Rias explained, but she saw how there was another fact further back.
The red color has an unclear animal pattern.
"The red background snake head flag, that's the Canesar family.
How come they are walking with the Archbishop?
Are people from Surma City also here?"
Theron said.

"The Canesar family, that is" "Oh, General Rias came to the Imperial Capital and didn't have time to introduce the situation here.
Most of the countries in the southern border have the characteristics of the Eastern Kingdom.
Ancient families will have their own family flags.
This is very difficult to see in other parts of the Empire. to these.”
Wang Chu looked up at the flags flying above the city gate.
In addition to the traditional royal flag of the Asta Empire, there was indeed a pattern like a mountain painted on a black background on both sides, and there were some other things on it.
"So that's it.
No wonder I haven't seen it elsewhere.
What does your flag mean?"
Rias also looked at the flags on both sides and asked curiously.
"Gaoshan Sunset, my original name was Charlize.
Since taking charge of Sun Chaser City, my surname has replaced this name.
Gaoshan Sunset represents that our Theron family is a barrier waiting in the south, just like the setting sun, we are always watching.
The situation in the wilderness."
Theron introduced, with a sense of pride that could not be concealed in his words when talking about his family.
Still so particular, Wang Chu looked at these flags again, inheritance can sometimes be expressed in different ways.
The archbishop's team slowly approached, and he could already be seen riding a horse at the front.
It was still similar to what he had seen before in the imperial capital, except that the clothes had changed a bit, but he was still dressed as a priest with white patterns as the background color.
He had a gray beard and even his eyebrows were white.
He looked kind-hearted and kind-hearted.
Always wearing a tall hat and holding a magic wand.
That magic wand was probably even better than my own magic wand.
It had a round wheel at the top and a milky white halo that continued to flash, making it feel like a moving street light.
Next to him, there was a fully armed paladin.
Because he was wearing a helmet, his face could not be seen.
Only his golden hair was spread out.
His waist was very slender.
She was a female paladin.
As for the people on the other side, they were just dressed as ordinary nobles.
There was a man wearing only simple leather armor.
His face was sallow and it seemed that he was not from the imperial capital.
Then this person should be a member of the Canesar family, the Duke of Surma City mentioned earlier.
Theron said that he was going to write to the other party asking them to send some supplies so that the city could survive this difficult time.
Unexpectedly, he came with the archbishop.
The team walked in and saw Benedictus, the old magician, dismounting, and other people around him also hurriedly dismounted.
"Hello, Lord Theron, may the Holy Light bless you.
Is everything going well?"
the old magician said as he walked forward, and then held Theron's hand tightly.
"Thank you, Archbishop, we finally made it through."
Theron looked a little excited.
"Everything will be fine.
The Holy Light is with you and you, child.
I have heard it all.
You are really brave.
Fortunately, you are here.

The Holy Light will also bless you."
He turned to Li Yasi said again, always with that kind smile on her face.
Why does it sound so mind-numbing?
Is this the skill of the old magic stick?
"I'm glad you can come, Archbishop."
Rias bowed with Lucia beside her.
Immediately afterwards, repeated rays of light came from the opponent's magic wand.
Hey, Wang Chu felt warm in his body.
This must be healing magic.
Look at my body and I don't feel any power bonus.
This light actually revives my drowsy spirit.
Yes, it should be healing magic.
Why does it feel like a pyramid scheme?
The female paladin and the young man behind him also came over.
"I already know the situation in Sun Chaser City, so I brought these materials with me this time.
Come, let me introduce to you.
This is Marquis Leoric, who was sent by the Canesar family in Surma City.
Yes, the other one is my deputy, Lord Paladin, Akala Abidis," the old magic stick introduced.
Wait, what was her name?
