This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 367 - 311: The Invitation of the Witch Slayer

Chapter 367: Chapter 311: The Invitation of the Witch Slayer

The city’s crisis had been resolved, and within the small chapel, those prestigious Divine Officers were assisting the City Defense Army, guiding the town’s residents back into the city.

Of course, most of the populace was unwilling to return to the city at this moment.

You couldn’t blame them; after all, everything had happened too quickly. The fear that stemmed from the depths of their souls, that twisted yet desecrated corrupted angel.

If it weren’t for the illusory shadow of the Holy Light Goddess appearing at the final moment, these people would have fled as far as they could.

Yet even so, they were still hesitant, wanting to observe further.

At this time, Lette was inside the small chapel, listening to the Sin Light’s work report.

"So, you’ve found evidence that the Imperial Family is the mastermind behind this?"

"Yes, Church Ancestor."

Lette lay on his backrest, frowning tightly. Although the situation was roughly as he had expected, actually verifying his thoughts still left him somewhat irritable.

"Have all the people been dealt with?"

"In the name of Sin Light, we’ve taken care of all of them. However, we are temporarily powerless against those nobles."

Lette nodded slightly. Sin Light’s abilities only targeted the clergy within the Holy Light Church.

If it were a confrontation against external experts from the Church Court, their strength would only equate to a Second Level or Third Level.

Not to mention those nobles, even the guards of small Lords would be hard to handle.

"Don’t worry about them; just manage your work well. As for those other guys, someone else will take care of them.

Every perpetrator, collaborator, and beneficiary will ultimately face the Holy Light’s judgment!"

"Praise the Church Ancestor! Praise the Holy Light!"

The leader of the Sin Light took out a ledger from his sleeve and handed it to Lette.

"Church Ancestor, this is the roster we got from the hands of the Imperial Bishop. It records the names, identities, and family affiliations of those who committed the crime of desecrating the Holy Light.

We have been eliminating the pests of the Holy Light Church one by one according to this roster, based on the severity of their crimes.

But unexpectedly, by the time we reached this city, we were blocked by this strange chapel."

Lette briefly glanced at it and then put the roster away.

"Well done. Finding this roster is already a great merit."

He looked at the members of the Sin Light Sect. "Currently, the Empire has become embroiled in a dispute with the Elf Empire. The number of illegal mages in the country has surged, and the remnants of the Tower of Truth are active.

Continuing to eliminate these pests further carries too much risk."

Perhaps foreseeing what Lette was about to say, the Sin Light members knelt down on one knee.

"Church Ancestor, we are not afraid of danger!"

"But I am afraid; I fear something untoward might happen to you; I fear you might be lost here without reason.

You are the treasures of the Holy Light Church, and you cannot be placed in such danger.

Moreover, you yourselves are not necessarily the kind to face things head-on.

You are a fusion of Judges, Observers, and Shadow Assassins.

In a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, you should choose to withdraw temporarily and gather strength.

Because, for the upcoming actions, you will not partake in them.

Once the whole Empire is conquered, I will still need you to follow the names on the roster and continue your work.

I know you despise evil, but you must also choose the right time and method."

Even though Lette said so much, the leading Sin Light members still hesitated, seemingly wanting to argue further.

"That’s an order. Do you understand?"

The Sin Light members sighed helplessly: "Yes, Church Ancestor."

"Alright, go send the message. All members of the Sin Light Sect must withdraw from the borders of the First Empire within three days and must report back to the Holy City within ten days."

"Yes, Church Ancestor."

The members of the Sin Light Sect began to act, and the previously lively small chapel suddenly quieted down.

Lette, along with Emily, took a brief tour of the place, feeling quite moved.

This building should originally have been a regular shop, transformed and renovated to become a small chapel for believers to pray and worship.

Though the chapel is small, it is complete with the Goddess Statue and Holy Water Pool.

Moreover, judging by its cleanliness, someone must be diligently cleaning and wiping it every day.

Although small, shabby, and simple, it is more likable than those lavishly decorated churches.

"Lette, what should we do next?"

Emily obviously wasn’t as pleased as he was: "If there are other corruption nests hidden within the Empire and still concealing such creatures, it’s only a matter of time before something major happens."

"Whether it’s fruit trees or crops, they need fertile soil to thrive."

Lette stood with his hands clasped behind his back in front of the Twin Holy Light Goddess Statue, smiling.

This goddess statue was quite interesting. The original statue of Goddess Afra seemed to be aged, while Joanna’s statue was made later.

It seems that since the Holy Presence Day, the relationship between the Empire and the Church has become tense, which is why this place hasn’t received the standard Twin Goddess depiction from the Holy City.

So, Joanna’s statue was modified from Afra’s statue.

A special product of a special time under special circumstances.

Emily stood in front of Lette: "What do you mean by that?"

Lette sighed: "Is that so hard to understand? Corruption nests don’t grow to that size out of nowhere.

If you could just randomly place a nest anywhere and cultivate such terrifying monsters,

then the Corrupt Lady wouldn’t need to be a lapdog apostle for the Gate of Truth.
