Chapter 303 The Villain Lady Arrives 132
"Brothers and sisters, the purpose of our trip is clear. We not only want to meet Alice, but also to make her name resound through the sky and let everyone know that there is such a brave and fearless saint who is fighting for the kingdom and light." Tariq's words were firm and powerful, with an unquestionable light flashing in his eyes.
Everyone responded in unison, morale high, and together they set out on the road to the Church of Light.
The moment they stepped into the hall, the air seemed to freeze. The guards were surprised by the sudden large group, but they were more awed by the aura they exuded. Tariq stepped forward and explained his purpose in a polite but dignified manner: "We are here to look for Saint Alice. I am her friend, Tariq."
Upon hearing this, the guards exchanged glances quickly, and then one of them hurried away, apparently to make a report. Soon, Saint Aidan came out in person, his face full of surprise and joy. "Tariq, you're back! And you brought so many friends with you, it's really gratifying."
Tariq smiled and nodded, his eyes full of sincerity. "Son Aidan, I came here not only to see Alice, but also to contribute my strength to the Church of Light. Over the years, I have met many like-minded partners who are willing to fight for the kingdom and light with us."
Upon hearing this, Saint Aidan's eyes flashed with approval. "Tariq, I am proud of your growth. Please follow me. Alice is dealing with some urgent matters, but I believe she will be happy to see you."
Led by the Son of Aidan, Tariq and his party came to a room with simple but solemn decoration. Alice was sitting at the table, flipping through the piles of documents with a frown on her face, obviously facing a major challenge. When she looked up and saw Tariq, a hint of surprise and warmth flashed in her eyes.
"Tariq, you...you are really back!" Alice put down the pen in her hand, walked quickly forward, and held Tariq's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that all this was just a dream.
Tariq patted Alice on the back and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm back, and I brought my friends with me. Alice, you've worked hard over the years. Now, let's fight for your dream together."
Alice nodded gratefully with tears in her eyes. "Tariq, your arrival has given me great strength. Please allow me to introduce you to everyone. They are all my trusted partners and our comrades who will fight side by side in the future."
In the following days, Tariq and his companions quickly integrated into the big family of the Church of Light. They not only assisted Alice in handling daily affairs, but also actively participated in the action of exposing the rebel conspiracy. With his reputation on the continent, Tariq ran around, collected evidence, and spread Alice's heroic deeds to every corner.
"Have you heard about it? The Saint of the Church of Light, Alice, is not only beautiful and kind, but also brave and fearless. She is willing to sacrifice everything for the peace of the kingdom!"
"Yes, and there is the Ranger Tariq. His story is even more legendary. It is said that he brought a group of loyal companions to join Alice and vowed to fight for her and the kingdom!"
These words, like a spring breeze, blew across every corner of the continent, stirring up the passion and resonance in the hearts of countless people. People began to re-examine the Church of Light and the efforts and contributions of Alice and Tariq.
At the same time, with the help of Tariq, Alice gradually gained more say in the Church of Light. Many of her reform measures, such as strengthening the connection between the church and the people and improving the combat effectiveness of church members, were supported and recognized by the Son of Aidan and other elders. As a result, the Church of Light was rejuvenated with unprecedented vitality and became an important force in the kingdom to resist the rebels and maintain peace.
With the return of Alice and Tariq, and the new power they brought, the atmosphere within the Church of Light became more and more heated. Alice knew that words and propaganda alone were not enough to completely eliminate the threat of the rebels, and action must be taken to expose and eradicate the real culprits who were wreaking havoc on the country in the name of the Church of Light.
One morning, the sun shone through the clouds and shone on the golden dome of the Church of Light, covering this solemn temple with a layer of sacred light. Alice stood on the high platform of the church, looking at the believers and warriors ready to go below, with determination and firmness in her eyes. She took a deep breath, and her voice resounded throughout the temple:
"Everyone, it's time to turn our faith into a sharp sword and cut off the shadows that obscure the light. Today, we will embark on a journey, not only to expose the true face of the rebels, but also to protect every peace and hope in this land."
The Holy Son Aidan stood beside Alice, his voice gentle but powerful:
"Since its founding, the Church of Light has taken it as its mission to protect justice and spread light. Today, we will work together to expose the betrayers and let the light shine upon this land once again."
As Alice and Aidan finished their words, the followers shouted in unison, and their morale was high. Tariq and his companions were even more eager to fight. They knew that this would be an arduous battle, but they also understood that only victory could prove their faith and loyalty.
Under Alice's careful planning, a coalition consisting of elite members of the Church of Light, loyal troops of the kingdom, and rangers under Tariq quickly assembled. They formulated a careful action plan and decided to first raid an important stronghold of the rebels - Shadow Castle located on the border of the kingdom. This castle is not only an important supply station for the rebels, but also hides many confidential documents about the rebels' conspiracy.
On the eve of departure, Alice summoned all the generals in the tent. Her eyes were sharp and her tone was firm:
"In this battle, we must not only destroy the rebels' material foundation, but also their spiritual support. Remember, although our opponents are cunning and powerful, we have the protection of the God of Light and countless loyal hearts. As long as we unite, nothing is impossible."
The generals nodded and said they would go all out. Tariq even volunteered to lead an elite team to carry out the most dangerous mission - sneaking into the castle to find and destroy the confidential documents. Alice knew Tariq's ability and courage. She held Tariq's hand tightly, her eyes full of trust and gratitude:
"Tariq, your courage and wisdom are an example to all of us. Please be careful, and I will await your triumphant return."
Tariq smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes: "Don't worry, Alice. I will come back to see you with news of victory."
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist, the coalition army rushed to the Shadow Castle like a tide. Alice and Saint Aidan were in the center, commanding with confidence, while Tariq led his team and quietly sneaked into the depths of the castle.
Although the rebels were alert inside the castle, they soon fell into chaos under the powerful offensive of the coalition forces. With their extraordinary skills and wisdom, Tariq and his team moved freely inside the castle, successfully avoiding the rebel patrols and heading straight for the secret room where the confidential documents were located.
