Whom believers choose to follow is their own business, and even the Pope has no right to interfere.
They had already offended these people by keeping them outside the city in order to protect more people inside.
In the end, it was Wood who came to their rescue. They were grateful to Wood and the Latorea family behind him, and the members of the cult had nothing to say in return.
While Wood and his group were still cheering for resolving the beast tide, the roars of magical beasts and screams of many people echoed from the capital of Milis behind them once again.
Don't forget, the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis has more than just this one pass.
Wood dealt with the beast tide in this direction, but it was clear that the Temple Knights and guards were unable to withstand the beast tides at other passes, and the monsters even stormed into the city!
“Aunt Therese, we have to go. I’m very worried about my grandmother and the situation at the Latorrea’s house.”
A large number of magical beasts rushed into the capital of Milis and began to wreak havoc without restraint, turning the huge town into a giant dining table.
For those monsters, the humans scattering in the streets are a delicious buffet.
Worried about Claire and the Latorea family, Wood barely rested before heading back towards the mansion he remembered, sword in hand.
Therese, needless to say, simply picked up the "divine child" beside her and chased after Wood.
The temple knights watching the "divine child" being taken away by Therese wanted to say something, but when they thought of the terrifying power of the Wood Frozen Beast Tide, they immediately chose to remain silent.
As for the Milis followers who had been rescued earlier, after seeing Wood and Therese leave one after the other, they first looked in the direction Wood had left, then looked at the few temple knights still standing there, and then made a decisive choice to follow Wood in that direction.
They no longer have any expectations of the so-called Temple Knights and the Order.
They preferred Wood, the son of God, who had saved them like a god descending from heaven, to the Templar Knights and the Pope.
With the speed of an ordinary person, it's naturally impossible to catch up with Wood and Therese, but that doesn't matter. Anyone living in the Holy Kingdom of Milis knows the "Latorea" family.
Lord Wood just said he was going to the "Latorea" house, so they just need to follow him there.
Compared to the so-called Temple Knights and the Milis Order, Wood, who has just demonstrated unparalleled strength, clearly gives them a greater sense of security now.
On his way to Latorrea's home, Wood encountered many magical beasts that attacked humans. Wood could easily kill these beasts with a single blow.
While the rescued people were still wondering who Wood was, they could only see his back.
However, the Milis followers who followed behind would soon answer these questions.
"That sir is Lord Wood of the Latorea family, and a messenger of the god Milis!"
Chapter 495 The Milis Rescue Team is Established!
While intentionally or unintentionally rescuing people, Wood continued to move towards the La Torreya mansion.
Little did he know that the number of people following him was constantly growing. Those whom Wood had saved on the road learned, through the explanations of the large group behind him, that Wood was the so-called "son of God," and thus all decided to follow him to the Latoria family and accept their protection.
The Templar Knights and the Milis Order are no longer reliable, otherwise the beast tide wouldn't have invaded the town.
Moreover, quite a few people are heading to the church now, and the number of priests and temple knights there is simply insufficient, and there is not enough spare capacity to protect them.
On the contrary, it's different for Wood. The Latoria family was already one of the most powerful families in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and now with the emergence of Wood, a powerful descendant, their chances of survival are naturally much higher if they go there to seek refuge.
Those Milis followers who were rescued by Wood outside the city have now become Wood's biggest brainwashed fans, praising him to almost everyone they meet.
From Wood's miraculous rescue of them, to his charge into the heart of the beast tide with a single sword, and his divine magic that completely froze the beast tide, to Wood's heroic act of freezing the beast tide, the story unfolds.
Although the result was not significantly different, the entire process, with the added filter and commentary of a group of "Wood fans," clearly made Wood even "deified."
Meanwhile, the Milis followers who were rescued by Wood along the way, who had previously thought that Wood's ability to easily kill monsters with a single strike was extremely powerful, quickly joined their ranks under the encouragement of these "Wood fans" and headed towards the Latoria family in a grand procession.
------Dividing line
The scene shifts to the other side, where, upon learning that Wood might become a rational undead or that the Grellat family might truly "resurrect," he resolutely embarks on an adventurer's life.
Taking the whole family on an adventure—the Grellat family is probably the first in the world to do something like that.
Fortunately, although the Grellat family has many women and children, all of its members are capable fighters.
Rudy needs no introduction. After two years of study at the La Noah Magic Academy, his true strength is now probably comparable to the so-called "Seven Great Powers".
Paul and Senis were the former captain and member of the S Adventurer Team. Since her battle with Wood in the labyrinth, Senis's combat strength may now be even stronger than Paul's.
Lilia isn't particularly strong, but she was once Paul's senior sister, so she can protect herself without any problem.
Even the weakest two, Norren and Aisha, have mastered basic magic and intermediate swordsmanship. They might not lose even to an adult ordinary person.
With the addition of the Wolf King, whose strength is only slightly weaker than Rudy's, and his numerous henchmen protecting them, it's safe to say that among all the adventurer teams in the world, there are probably no more than three teams that can match the current setup of the Grellat family.
Traveling with a large family is quite expensive, so Paul and his friends would take on guild commissions while traveling to earn money for their living expenses.
As for the quest assignments, Paul and Rudy were responsible for accepting them from the Adventurers' Guild, while Senis and Lilia were responsible for searching for clues about Wood in the towns along the way.
Meanwhile, Senis, who had reunited with her family at the hotel, did not find any clues related to Wood, but she did bring another piece of information.
That was her hometown, the Holy Kingdom of Milis. Due to internal strife within the religious order, war had broken out. The rebels had unleashed a beast tide that attacked the capital, and it was said that the entire capital of Milis was now engulfed in flames of war.
Upon hearing the news, Senis panicked and ran back to the hotel to tell Paul, Rudy, and the others what had happened.
Senis didn't care about many people, only her few family members.
She had a falling out with her mother Claire before, but just as Claire always cared about her daughter Senis, Senis also always cared about her mother Claire.
Moreover, the conflict between the mother and daughter that had lasted for more than ten years was cleverly resolved by Wood two years ago.
Upon hearing that the Holy Kingdom of Milis had been attacked and the capital was engulfed in war, Senis was naturally worried about her mother and sister Therese.
Caught between her beloved son and her mother and sister, Senis was torn and unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, Paul suddenly showed some intelligence and interjected, "In that case, let's head to the Holy Kingdom of Milis."
Finding Wood won't be a quick process, but the matter with the Latorea family can't be delayed at all.
Besides, the Holy Kingdom of Milis is also one of our search targets; who knows, Wood might be there too?
Hearing Paul's words, Senis looked relieved. After seeing that Senis did not refuse, Paul turned to his son Rudy and asked, "Rudy, what do you think?"
We'll temporarily change our original plan and head to the Holy Kingdom of Milis first. After all, Wood is our family, but your grandmother and aunt are also our closest relatives.”
In a typical family, decisions made by Paul, the "head of the household," and his wife Senis do not require the consent of anyone else.
The opinions of teenagers like Rudy, who are thirteen or fourteen years old and not yet married, can be completely ignored.
The key issue is that Rudy is no ordinary kid. Not only is Rudy the strongest member of their team right now, but if it weren't for Rudy, Senis and the others wouldn't even know that Wood has been "resurrected".
"I have no objection to that, but may I make a request?"
That is, I hope my mother and father can wait here for two days. I just received a letter from a close friend of mine at La Noah Magic Academy.
He said he was the grandson of the old pope of the Milis Order, and after learning that we were going to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, he now hoped that we would take him with us.
Moreover, Cliff didn't come alone; she brought Alina Lisze and Tarhand to help her, who were originally members of your "Black Wolf Fang" team, Father.
Cliff was one of Rudy's few close friends at the magic academy, and it was with his help that Alina Lizzie was able to successfully seduce him.
Rudy was quite surprised to learn that his best friend was the grandson of the Pope of the Milis Order. No wonder Cliff had often said that his family had some connections in the Holy Kingdom of Milis.
Is this what you call having a bit of a background? In a theocracy like the Holy Kingdom of Milis, the Pope is practically no different from an emperor, and as the Pope's only grandson, Cliff's status is almost equivalent to that of a crown prince.
Even Rudy himself hadn't expected that one of his few friends at Lanoa Academy was the Pope's grandson, and the other was a prince of the Kingdom of Xilon.
"Elina Liz and Tarhand? They're both memorable guys, and they were indeed trustworthy companions."
But Rudy, you should understand, we don't have much time, so we can only wait for them for two days at most. If they haven't arrived by then, we'll have to set off first.
Hearing Paul's words, Senis, who was standing to the side, had no objections. Although she disliked Alina Lizzie, that promiscuous woman, they were facing a terrifying beast tide, so the more combat power they had, the better.
“I understand. If they don’t arrive within two days, then we’ll set off on our own.”
Because the force they were to fight was a beast tide, after deciding to go to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, Paul and Rudy went to a nearby town to buy a large amount of food and water. While waiting for Elina Lizzie and the others to arrive, they began to formulate a battle plan.
Two days later, when Elina Lizzie of the Elf Clan and Tarhand of the Miner Clan arrived with Cliff, Paul and his companions warmly greeted their old friends.
Senis, on the other hand, looked rather unhappy when she saw Alina Lige.
Alina Liz was once cursed to have sex with a man every few days, and as a former comrade of the "Black Wolf Fang," she naturally had also been involved with the womanizer Paul.
Therefore, Senis naturally couldn't possibly have any good feelings towards Alina Lige, her rival in love.
No, it should be said that Senis still harbors great resentment towards the female members of the original "Black Wolf Fang," including Kyrie Irwin, because he had also had a relationship with Paul.
Just looking at this point, Paul, that scumbag, deserves to die a hundred times over. Not a single one of the original female members of "Black Wolf Fang" was unrelated to him.
"Seneca, there's no need to harbor such malice towards an old comrade. After all, what happened back then was a matter of mutual consent."
When I slept with Paul, you weren't even a member of our group yet. Besides, you two got married afterward, and I never went back to that awful guy.
Seeing Senis's hostility towards her, Alina Lizard acted extremely frankly and put her arm around Cliff, indicating that she had found a better man.
"Mother, now that they've arrived, let's set off as soon as possible to rescue Grandmother and Aunt, shall we?"
Seeing his mother on the verge of exploding, Rudy quickly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker. Senis, having sorted out the priorities of the matter, finally turned her head away in annoyance, then kicked the scumbag Paul standing next to her before storming off.
Because the entire team consisted of high-level adventurers, and because Rudy and his companions had been traveling the whole way, Rudy and some of his men reached the border of the Holy Kingdom of Milis almost on the second day.
Considering that they were facing an extremely dangerous beast tide, Lilia, Norren, and Aisha, who lacked combat strength, were placed in a nearby town and protected by the Wolf King's wolf minions.
The others, however, traveled even faster to the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.
The closer Rudy and his companions got to the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, the more irritating the scenes they encountered along the way became.
Because all they saw along the way were fleeing citizens of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and a large number of corpses...
Most of these corpses were incomplete, some were gnawed beyond recognition by monsters, and because it was the height of summer and no one had buried them, a stench soon filled the air.
