Hopeless

They did as they had planned. They had planned on attacking all seven temples of the religion. They assumed that as long as they could take down the temples, whatever the devilish holy saint wanted to do would come to a halt. That was their aim and their purpose. To stop the holy saint even if it was for a short amount of time. 

To execute their plan, they laid an ambush and attacked two of the temples. One at the Stlinct Mountain range, the Temple of Rift, and another one at the central jungles, the Temple of Nature.

And as for their strategy... They were correct. The holy saint seemed to put importance on his temples... maybe he put more importance than they imagined.

"Beathan!"
