The Hero in Exile

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the Demon Empire has reached its strongest point.

In the past three years, Borne's army has almost expanded to 10,000 people.

According to the spies, Ruilin City has become a solid fortress under the transformation of the church.

A large number of paladins also began to enter Ruilin City one after another. Both sides knew that the war was about to begin again.

An invisible cloud of smoke will spread across both banks, and a small fire will ignite it.

However, for the demons, this war was a revenge against the church, but those who came to the Empire to surrender were more eager to fight.

They have been away from home for too long, and the thought of going home has taken root in their minds.

Moreover, according to Born's propaganda, the demons were not the direct instigators of the war.

Instead, Born liberated the empire controlled by the church, and the Demon Empire only provided assistance as an ally.

"Boys, we already have enough strength to dismantle the Church's harm to the Empire. Now we have to board these ships to go home and drive out the scum at home!"

"Down with the Church, save the Empire."

The imperial soldiers on the beach were outraged. They had endured being called traitors for too long, and now they were going to fight back to dispel those doubts.

"Children, don't forget the way home."

After saying this, Bourne boarded the warship. The other soldiers followed the general's steps and boarded the warships on their journey home.

"Fellow countrymen, get on board and help General Borne save the empire from the dire straits. Let's show the church our sword of revenge!"

"You're still handsome when you're serious."

Lingyu nudged Moran with her elbow and whispered.

Moran's expression remained unchanged mainly because there were so many soldiers watching him.

Moran relaxed only after confirming that everything was ready, rubbing his sore arm from holding the magic sword high.

After making sure that no one was watching, he secretly leaned close to Lingyu.

"Then which one am I more handsome compared to when I proposed to you?"

"Well..."

Lingyu recalled the proposal scene, where the two of them were wearing gorgeous dresses. In that environment, Lingyu already regarded Moran as the most handsome. It might be because of the filter that people can imagine everything beautiful.

There seems to be no comparison between him and the guy now who is wearing inappropriate protective gear.

"Of course it's you now, because I can see and touch you now, and I only think you are the most handsome now."

As if he didn't expect this answer, Moran scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, his face flushed.

"It's just a joke, no need to take it so seriously."

“But I’m serious.”

……

When everything was ready, this huge fleet began to leave the dock. Among the warships, the ones led by Bourne, Lingyu and Moran were the larger ones.

The equipment above is also the most advanced artillery of the dwarves, and even the dwarves themselves don’t have many.

After driving for a few days, we could already see the beach on the other side clearly in the night.

Born and Moran looked through telescopes but didn't find anything unusual.

But the quieter it is, the weirder it becomes. The church also knows that they are about to start a war in the next few days.

Born decided to send out two small boats for reconnaissance first.

After sending the message via carrier pigeon, Moran also agreed to the action.

The wind and waves were not very strong that night and the boat landed smoothly on the beach. The imperial soldiers were excited to set foot on this land again.

"Keep your voice down and don't forget our mission."

"I'm sorry I just haven't been back for so long."

After searching around the beach, I found nothing.

"It seems to be all right. Are we going back to report the situation?"

Just as everyone was about to go back, an imperial soldier shouted.

"There's a magic cannon in this pile of weeds!"

After he said this, the weeds around him began to rustle, and the team leader keenly noticed something was wrong.

"There's an ambush, run to the beach!"

On the way to escape, the captain also fired a flare into the sky, and the red fireworks were particularly eye-catching in the night.

"There is an enemy situation. The other side does not have control of the beach yet, so send the warship over!"

After receiving the news, Moran ordered that control of the army be handed over to Bourne first, and they now had to do their best to cooperate with him.

"Fuck, we've been discovered. Don't hide anymore. Push the cannons over and don't let them land!"

Seeing this, the church members who were discovered no longer planned to hide. They removed the magic covering everyone and started running towards the beach.

"The soldiers sent by the general have returned."

"show me."

Born took the telescope and watched the soldiers who had just landed hurriedly boarding the boat. He also got a general idea of ​​the noise coming from the woods behind.

"Don't abandon a single soldier, send someone to pick them up!"

"Other ships advance at full speed, approach the beach and shoot at the forest and the enemies emerging from the forest!"

Perhaps it was God's will that the wind direction was favorable to Born and his team, so they were in position before they left the forest.

With the roar of artillery and screams in the forest, the church had suffered losses before even a direct confrontation.

The church's cannons were precisely guided by the dwarf cannons before they were even ready.

"Cease fire! Soldiers go ashore, they are already in disarray!"

The main force quickly went ashore after seizing control of the beach.

The enemy can no longer organize their troops normally, and their morale is low, so their combat effectiveness is much lower than before.

Even when facing battle-hardened Paladin soldiers, they were able to defeat them without much loss thanks to mutual cooperation.

After clearing out the enemies on the beach, they had already lost their weapons and disappeared into the forest.

The battle was won by the Demon Empire.

The next day, newspapers across the empire published news that traitors had landed on the beach along with the demons.
