"It seems... Fog Town really has undergone some tremendous changes that no one knows about."
The knight captain slowly moved his hand away from his sword hilt, a deep wariness entering his eyes.
He was arrogant, but he was no fool.
Without knowing what he was dealing with, he dared not rashly make an enemy of a second-tier priest on another deity's territory.
Ignoring the fervent gazes of the Novice Knights, Ilyena walked straight to the front of the players.
She raised her pale chin slightly and calmly regarded the mounted knight captain with her amber eyes.
"However..."
Ilyena's voice was no longer gentle. A chilling edge had entered it:
"Fog Town has driven back the Cultists through its own strength, and now it is being reborn in this wasteland."
"If you esteemed knights wish to stay among these ruins and help us rebuild our home, Fog Town will offer you the utmost respect and hospitality."
Ilyena abruptly changed tack, her tone growing increasingly hostile:
"But if... you intend to use Winterhold's name to inflict fresh wounds on Fog Town..."
"Then Fog Town will not spare a single enemy!"
Her words sent an uproar through the crowd.
Both Fog Town's residents and the six knights from Winterhold were stunned by Ilyena's uncompromising statement, which bordered on a declaration of war!
This was Winterhold!
One of the greatest powers in this wasteland!
This newly elevated priestess actually dared to threaten Winterhold's regular knights in public?
It wasn't just Fog Town's residents who were shocked.
Even the surrounding players couldn't help applauding wildly in their hearts when they heard Ilyena's commanding words!
"So cool! Our nun is such a badass!"
"This is the fucking confidence our Ash Divine Kingdom faction should have! Who cares about Winterhold? Got a problem? Bring it on!"
