Misty Mountains's God is indeed impossible to come at this time.

After all, Misty Mountain people can only pose the greatest threat to Raven Territory in winter. This is more like someone using the name of the gods to cause chaos in Raven Territory.

And 'Raven Sir' Boris, Li Ang have actually heard of this person, because Sarah once mentioned this guy who called himself Child of Prophecy to him.

Boris is the famous person of Raven Territory. He has been famous since he was a child because of his two eyes, one is black and the other is light blue.

His father died of illness when he was just born, so many people said that he was an ominous sign and believed that his birth led to his father's death.

Children with this kind of abnormal eyes and crippling fathers are usually regarded as children of the devil who will bring disasters in Raven Territory, and most of them will be thrown into the toilet and drowned - this era is so rough, most children born with abnormal eyes will not survive to be weaned.

But Boris is lucky, his mother is a local noble, a shrewd lady that no one dares to mess with.

Although people were wondering if there were other reasons for his father's death, they also secretly gossiped about their family behind their backs - most of them said that his mother had a bad relationship with a certain Meitengheim Mercenaries.

When he was a child, Boris lived a very lonely life because he had no friends - the villagers thought he was an unlucky person and would not let their children keep him company.

Therefore, most of the time, he can only read books or practice sword practice alone.

But no matter what, Boris grew up successfully under the protection of his mother.

As an adult, Boris is extremely tall, up to 7 feet tall, and has immense strength.

But this tall and powerful man is not a simple-minded warrior with well-developed limbs.

In fact, Boris likes reading very much. He is knowledgeable and cunning, and is a rare talent with both civil and military skills.

Therefore, he was naturally recruited by Crow Spear Knight Order, whose mission is to protect knowledge, and became a glorious Crow Spear Knight.

During the years of Crow Spear Knight Order, Boris developed superb martial arts and learned a lot of knowledge, especially engineering and military science.

But like many young people with amazing talents, Boris gradually became extremely conceited, even narcissistic.

In Crow Spear Knight Order, he read many historical and legendary records, one of which mentioned the prophet Madigan's Prophecy: a magical hero who would reunite Pande Continent.

He believed this prophecy - he believed that he was the legendary Child of Prophecy, and that he would rule the entire Pendor!

Because he himself did have some contact with heresy and black magic.

Due to his natural abnormal eyes, his mother has always had personal contacts with those heretical worshipers and Twilight Knight. There are even rumors that strange sounds often come from his mother's manor, and there are many blasphemous patterns in the house.

In Boris's opinion, he is the magical hero in the prophecy.

He began to spread his views on the world in Crow Spear Knight Order, claiming that he was destined to rule Pendor!

Boris is knowledgeable, charismatic, and powerful. Many Crow Spear Mercenaries and even Crow Spear Knight believe that he may indeed be the hero predicted by Madigan!

After that, he gave up Crow Spear Knight's responsibility to protect scholars and knowledge, formed an army, and started his journey.

Boris led some of the rogue knights Crow Spear Knight and Raven Territory who followed him, running rampant in Northern Territory in the Misty Mountain people way, and sometimes briefly served the monarch as mercenaries.

Because he is familiar with military art and has many tricks, he often uses cunning tactics to defeat more with less and defeat enemies several times his own.

His engineering skills gave him a thorough understanding of the structure of the castle and the ability to build some complex siege devices, making him almost invincible.

At the same time, his experience of loneliness as a child made him have no limits on what he could do, and he was ruthless and ruthless.

Many Northern Territory lords were defeated by his cunning tactics and became prisoners, and Boris also received a lot of ransom and gradually grew stronger.

This made many northern lords deeply fear it, calling it 'Raven Sir'.

This is actually because the Northern Territory lords feel that Boris is like a crow, always bringing ominous omens.

This is indeed the case. Boris's army is cunning and cruel. They will only take away valuable hostages, but ordinary prisoners of war will often be tortured and killed by them.

Boris himself often said, "It is too troublesome for injured prisoners to survive..."

But as to whether it was simply to kill prisoners for fun, or to cover up heretical behaviors such as human sacrifice, it is unclear.

However, under normal circumstances, nobles and noble ladies can still survive if they fall into his hands, but the ransom must be paid quickly enough.

Due to his cruel style, and in order to redeem his family safely, the nobles of the North would often agree to some of Boris's additional demands, and those noble ladies could only submit...

Gradually, 'Raven Sir' Boris became Raven Territory's cancer, and Crow Spear Knight Order also regarded him as a traitor.

It wasn't until three years ago that Boris's troops suddenly disappeared without a trace that Northern Territory's lords breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people think that Boris, like the previous villains who called themselves Child of Prophecy, was punished by the gods.

But now, Kelvin and Andongjia saw him again.

"Sir, I swear, that is Boris himself, and I will not admit it - no Crow Spear Knight will mistake Boris for it."

Kelvin said seriously, "But I noticed a strange thing... Boris didn't ride a horse before because he was too tall and heavy. But now he is riding a very scary horse, which is exactly the same as the horse we saw the 'devourer' rode in the morning!"

Andongjia thought about it carefully and nodded, "Indeed, it is impossible for 'Omen Wolf' Wolfberd to ride a horse..."

"The same demonic horse as the Devourer's horse?"

Li Ang said thoughtfully, "I have a feeling - the guy you saw at Northern Territory might be both Wolfberd and Raven Sir Boris..."

"Sir... Although Wolfberd is cruel and murderous, it is indeed the incarnation of a god. Although we Crow people do not recognize the god Misty Mountains, at least we understand that it is indeed not a mortal. But Boris... how can he become a god?"

Kelvin is a bit confused. He seems to be knowledgeable - most people in Crow Spear Knight Order have a wide range of knowledge.

"God? Ha... Even the main god of the Pande Continent cannot walk in the world, so why can the god of the Misty Mountains have a so-called incarnation on land?"

Li Ang laughed and shook his head, "I think this has something to do with Snake Worship Cult or Dark Goddess... This is more like a heretical riot launched by Lion Territory and Raven Territory at the same time!"

The reason why I say this is because Li Ang thought of another person, the monster who was found in Brettwen's temple. His chest was cut open and all his internal organs fell out, but he still moved freely and was extremely powerful.

Previously, Marshal Kairos chased the monster to the direction of Dexia, and then disappeared.

Now think about it, if it weren't for the fact that the monster was smashed open the temple and released in advance, that monster might have set off a similar riot in Bax at the same time.

At the same time, Ansen also encountered the 'devoured one' there.

Li Ang feels that Brettwen might also be cultivating 'devourers' in that temple!

That's it!

Li Ang suddenly understood...

Brettwen was massacred, and monsters and devourers appeared. The place was less than a hundred miles away from the densely populated Erudition City.

Gosbur Village of Raven Territory was massacred, and Boris riding a demonic horse appeared. That location was about a hundred miles away from the densely populated Xiaolu City;

The area around Vulpine Town was massacred, and the heretic Fallen One appeared. Then the Devourer riding a demonic horse surrounded Lion Lake City with a massive amount of Fallen One--Vulpine Town was only a little over a hundred miles away from Lion Lake City;

And these three cities happen to be the cultural centers of Bax, Linya and Lionheart Kingdom!

It seems that Brettwen is the fault of Snake Worship Cult; Gosbur Village will be blamed by the Misty Mountains Omen Wolf Wolfberd; and Lion Lake City is an obvious believer of Dark Goddess...

But in fact, these are probably all done by the same group of people - this group of people doesn't care about any gods at all, they are just raising the same riots in the name of various evil gods!

No wonder I have always felt that the 'devoured one' of Snake Worship Cult and the 'Fallen One' of the Dark Goddess sect are very similar!

That's probably the same thing...

Even Red Death might be compatible with this kind of riot!

Fortunately, the spread of Red Death was prevented in advance...

Otherwise, the same heretic riots may occur around other big cities - maybe Kingdom of Pendor was faced with this kind of situation with heretical riots everywhere!

That's why the lords from all over the world are completely unable to support the Kingdom of Pendor center.

But this definitely has nothing to do with Three Prophets, because the way Three Prophets operates is quite gentle compared to this group of people...

Fallen One manufactured by Three Prophets must be a fanatical believer in Dark Goddess, and ultimately peel off the skin completely.

But this group of people directly slaughtered them and then transformed the corpses into Fallen One!

Li Ang remembered the drunkard he met when he first entered Lion City, the unlucky guy who ended up with only a piece of skin left - this is the way Three Prophets operated. It was not carried out in the form of massacre, but the transformation was completed quietly, and it was after the drunkard was accidentally killed.

This may be because Dark Goddess gave believers a way to resurrect the dead, and the believers voluntarily offered sacrifices.

Just like when Three Prophets faced a certain death situation in Long River Town, most of his followers ran away. Some of the dog-licking believers tried to protect their beloved woman with a suicide charge, and then became Fallen One - they were just seduced by beauty and drugs, believed in Dark Goddess wholeheartedly, and thus voluntarily sacrificed themselves.

Three Prophets did not force the corpse to transform into Fallen One, they should not be able to do it.

They just used methods such as deception and drugs to spread their faith quickly. Although they were cruel, they were much gentler compared to the other group of mysterious heretics who were quick to massacre.

Warriors made from pure corpses after massacre...

This made Li Ang think of the Fear Legion.

Fear Legion of Maltis is the third legion of the Bacchus Empire who was re-transformed into undead warriors after all members were killed.

Bax The enemies that the Third Legion dealt with back then might be this group of people!

"I didn't expect... Darkness Goddess Eredar is actually a scapegoat..."

Li Ang murmured, "Andongjia, let this guy go."

He intends to release Kelvin.

"Sir, this guy once sold my people to Crimson Brotherhood people... so I plan to sell him to Xingar!"

Andongjia is a little unhappy, she has a simple concept of fairness.

"Andongjia, after the trouble we are facing is solved, you can settle old scores with him... Do you think the 'killer' you have seen is more terrifying, or the 'big eyeball' we saw today?"

Li Ang waved his hand and looked at Kelvin: "I will let you go, but you have to face that 'murderer' or Boris again. After all, you know him and have escaped once before, so you have experience..."

"No, no, no... I'm going to die!"

Kelvin shook his head as if he was swinging. "I would rather be sold to Xingar..."

"I just need you to lead the way, I don't need you to fight."

Li Ang turned around and shouted, "Sigismund! You have work to do!"

Sigismund ran over from the tent next to it.

"Let this Crow Spear Knight lead the way, go to Raven Territory with Andongjia, and lead Gosbur Village that Raven Sir Boris here... let the heretics deal with the heretics!"

Li Ang ordered.

Sigismund's face suddenly fell. "Sir, I was chased by a heretic for more than two hundred miles just now... am I going to be chased by a heretic again now? It looks like I have to make up a thousand miles?"

"Ahem... You are more experienced in seducing Fallen One. Look, no one in your scout team died. I believe in your ability... Besides, you have to protect Raven Territory's fellow villagers and fight for the civilians, right?"

Li Ang said very gently that this is trust in capable subordinates...

There is no way, the most capable workers will definitely be assigned the most difficult tasks. Sigismund previously pulled monsters all the way from Vulpine Town to Harlingosburg, but all the people under him were safe and sound. This is obviously a typical example of outstanding ability...

Currently Payne Village where Li Ang is located has two thousand troops, one thousand cavalry from Royal City Guard, and one thousand infantry from Fieltzwe of Gondor.

This strength will definitely not be able to deal with the Fallen One army led by the Devourer in a field battle, and if nothing else happens, the soldiers who die in the battle will probably become Fallen One, so Li Ang really cannot act rashly.

But you can't just wait - the Devourer is wandering around Lion Lake City, killing civilians and constantly creating new Fallen One. If this terrible guy cannot be dealt with quickly, its troops will snowball and grow!

So now, whether they are heroes or scum, Li Ang must find a way to force them to fight this demon.

Shortly after sending Sigismund, Andongjia and others away, Risadiran came back.

"Sir, I received news from Sir Roland. He found the guy named Oswood who was killing civilians everywhere in the woods east of Vulpine Town."

Risadiran asked, "That guy is coming in the direction of Lion Lake City."

"Finally found that bastard... It seems that Fieltzwe people is lucky, Vidis may be able to hold on for a while longer..."

Li Ang was looking at the map while giving instructions. "Risadiran, take Noldo Guard and take a detour from the south, light a fire south of the woods of Vulpine Town, and force the Oswood troops to Lion Lake City."
