The Sunlight Scripture was one of the six secret units of the Slane Theocracy. Joining the Sunlight Scripture required a very strict selection process. First was magic. Everyone in this secret unit was a faith-based magic caster.
Only those who could use third-tier faith-based magic were qualified to join. By the way, the limit for ordinary magic casters was the third tier, so you could see how strict it was to enter this unit.
In addition, they also needed to have excellent physical fitness and strong spirit. Because the entire unit was composed of magic casters, the members had to have the physique of warriors.
In short, the Sunlight Scripture was the elite of the elite. However, such a unit wouldn't be responsible for assassinating someone like Gazef Stronoff.
This kind of thing should be carried out by the Black Scripture unit, whose members were all "Heroes," but unfortunately, the Black Scripture had a top-secret mission that they were currently carrying out.
Therefore, the Sunlight Scripture squad, which usually only focused on clearing out demihuman tribes, could only carry out this mission.
Although it was different from previous missions, Nigun, as the captain, knew that removing Gazef Stronoff was an important part of the Theocracy's future plans.
The Slane Theocracy never regarded human countries as their enemies. Their enemies were only demihumans and heteromorphic races.
On this land, the strength of humans was weak, and their living space had been squeezed to the northwest corner of the continent.
And the northwest corner also had many demihuman threats, but it wasn't without safe places. For example, the location of the Re-Estize Kingdom.
The kingdom was located in the heartland of human territory, and there were few demihuman threats around it.
The Theocracy originally hoped that the kingdom could be a cradle for human powerhouses, and could develop considerable military strength to resist the demihuman threat.
But because the surroundings were too safe, the kingdom began to rot internally. The Theocracy believed that they could no longer let the kingdom occupy such a good place and continue to rot.
Therefore, they prepared to weaken the kingdom's power and have the Baharuth Empire annex the kingdom.
But they didn't expect that the already rotten kingdom would actually produce a character like Gazef Stronoff.
His appearance not only stabilized the kingdom's internal factional disputes, but also made the Baharuth Empire dare not act rashly.
It was only because he almost possessed "Hero"-level strength. Characters of this strength could influence the course of the war to a certain extent.
A character with "Hero"-level strength could kill 10,000 ordinary soldiers on the battlefield. If they disregarded their own situation, they could probably kill 30,000 ordinary soldiers in the end.
If Gazef Stronoff wasn't removed, the kingdom's factional disputes would continue to be suppressed, and even if the Baharuth Empire could annex the kingdom, it would pay a considerable price.
This was what the Theocracy didn't want to see. They had already given up on the kingdom and wanted to make the Baharuth Empire a country that cultivated human powerhouses to resist the demihumans.
Therefore, Gazef Stronoff became the biggest obstacle. This warrior, who was loyal to the king and loyal to the country, couldn't save this country. His appearance would only hinder the progress of the overall human race against the demihumans.
In Nigun's view, although the Slane Theocracy had factions, they would almost always cooperate with each other when taking action and didn't care about the gains and losses of their own factions.
One reason was that everyone respected the gods they believed in. Another reason was that everyone knew that there were many races and monsters other than humans in this world. If they didn't unite and cooperate, there was a risk of annihilation.
It was also because of this noble ideal that the Slane Theocracy, despite possessing the strongest power in the human camp, wouldn't point their blades at humans unless it was absolutely necessary.
The Slane Theocracy had contacted Gazef Stronoff, but his stubborn belief in being loyal to the king and loyal to the country couldn't be changed. His existence was already hindering the development of the human race.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have resorted to this drastic measure.
"...That's why everyone needs to embark on the same path according to the correct teachings. Humans shouldn't fight against each other. They should work together to create a great road."
Nigun shouted to Gazef Stronoff, who was fighting bloody battles.
Gazef Stronoff was covered in wounds and panting. He didn't know how many angel monsters he had killed, but every time he killed an angel, the other party would continue to summon them. With this, his strength began to fail to keep up.
The strength of these angels was far inferior to him, but he couldn't reach them in terms of special abilities, such as their ability to fly. If he was on the ground, he wouldn't be afraid even if there were twice as many.
Also, if their bodies weren't hit by weapons made of specific materials, the damage would be greatly reduced.
Even Gazef Stronoff's powerful blow couldn't kill them. Although he could use martial arts to kill them, this would increase his consumption.
Therefore, the correct approach was to kill the enemy commander. Although the other party probably wouldn't retreat even if he did so, this was the only way.
Gazef Stronoff had confirmed by calculating the number of people that these people were all the people who had surrounded the village. In this way, the encirclement of the village was lifted.
He felt infinite joy that he could rescue the surviving villagers. He glared at Nigun, who was talking eloquently, and rebuked, "I don't understand what you mean by the "Great Road," but if your so-called "Great Road" is to wantonly massacre innocent villagers, I can't agree!"
"All of this is caused by you. If it wasn't for your stubbornness, these people wouldn't have died. In other words, someone will always be sacrificed on the path to the Great Road, and they are the ones who are sacrificed. As for you, you are a stumbling block on the Great Road."
Nigun said to Gazef Stronoff in a mocking tone. The Theocracy had already given him a chance, but he didn't cherish it.
"Nonsense! To be able to embellish a conspiracy so righteously, your behavior is so despicable. Was it the nobles in the kingdom who gave you the benefits?"
Gazef Stronoff wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth after dodging an angel's attack. His muscles trembled uncontrollably.
Because of the angels' body characteristics, he had to use martial arts to fight all the time, but this accelerated his physical consumption.
"Hehehe, benefits?" Nigun sneered, his face full of disdain. You underestimate the Theocracy too much. The Theocracy's cause is for all of humanity. Those parasites will also be tumors that the Theocracy needs to remove sooner or later.
Well then, obediently accept fate. Your death will not be without value. For the development of the human race, we will remember your contribution."
Nigun's words sounded extremely ironic to Gazef Stronoff, but he didn't want to refute them now.
His stamina had been exhausted to the limit. He was only one step away from coming to Nigun's side and killing him, as long as he killed the last angel in front of him.
But contrary to his wishes, Nigun showed a sympathetic look and waved to his subordinates, "The priest who has lost his angel summons a new angel again! Unleash magic on Stronoff with all your strength!"
