>>5752700“Your battle is with me now, heretic!” Ezekiel roars. The Holy Guard moves in position around the tent to surround you and your group. You spot amongst their soldiers of all classes and types. The way they carry themselves and their gear gives you the impression they are several notches above the Orthodox soldiers you’d fought in this tent earlier. Given how Bennett had spoken to them as well, these must be his elite that he trusts implicitly.
>“Are you really planning to throw your lives away for a man that abandons you and your army in the middle of a battle?” You taunt the captain. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot Leif getting back up from the floor, as well as Clay shaking out the stiffness in his body.“Silence, apostate whore!” Ezekiel says. “You know nothing of our Patriarch. All who stand in the way of his divine mission shall fall to us, his Twelve Holy Knights! I lost many friends to your cowardly attack at Magdred. I’ve longed for the day I’d get to put that pretty face of yours on a spike, and now that day has come!”
>“Holy Knights?” You say with shock. “You’re telling me that sniveling dark mage hiding in the back there is a Holy Knight? The very same one I dragged kicking and screaming to Garreg Mach. Don’t make me laugh. If you miss your friends so badly, I’ll send you to join them!” Kayla moves to working on Seamus, while Uriel brings Ashe back to full health. It’s fortunate this windbag is so easy to taunt, you think. Otherwise, the others may not have been given this chance.“Enough talk! Holy Knights, attack!”
A bright light envelops you, and you feel immediate relief as your wounds heal fully. You also notice the two guards that had come in with Odesse and survived his fog have now fled the tent in a state of utter panic. That can’t be good.
