### Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade

*"I always knew my destiny, my father was a man of faith and a heroic crusader who fought valiantly for the cause of good. The stories of his honor and triumph seemed infinite and in truth i never grew tired of hearing"*

The game begins with Paul hunting with his bow, but suddenly he sees several birds leave their position scared, which catches his attention.

Paul meets Eric, another knight of the temple, who tells him "***I can't move...** I have a message... man... man of god... the devil... take the letter... I can't move...*" After delivering the message, Eric dies and Paul burys him and sits in a tree and reads the letter, which says: "Dearest Paul, I write to you in great dispair, i must call in your aid as a beloved friend of my daughter Adele is missing. As you know she's been blessed by God with special powers which enable her to perform miracles in his name, but something is terribly amiss, and I believe as a knight of the temple you can help. Father George always a trusted friend of ours did not see himself when he brought the lord bishop and several guards to escort Adele to the monastery to study with the priests, she usually returns within three days; but it has been now two weeks. I've not heard from her and the priests and monks refuse to speak to me when I question about it. Please I kiss you, you must help me find my daughter and bring her home. Humbly yours, Charlotte"

After reading the letter, Paul thinks: "*Man of god, the devil, Belmont.*"

*"I was stunned, Adele taken away by the lord Bishop, why would anyone do such a thing. Eric's mysterious death puzzled me and the notion that the good lord Bishop had abducted Adele sent a chill down myspine. Images of my dear departed friend and the fond memories of the lovely Adele flash through my mind as i set out for the monastery of Belmont where the Bishop was said to reside"*

When Paul arrives, a monk greets him, thinking that he was going to ask about life in the monastery, to which, Paul tells him that he has important business with the Lord Bishop, which somewhat annoys the monk, telling him that Lord Bishop He has died six years ago and is in the catacombs, and he does not dare to go because it is a disturbing place. He also tells Paul that things are not going well at Belmont, that Father George has disappeared and that his brother monks are behaving strangely. Once he mentions this, the monk tells him to be very careful. Paul enters a room and the door closes abruptly, implying that the monks attacked the other.

Paul, after searching throughout the monastery, confronting the monks and some knights, arrives at the correctional facility of Belmont and through a staircase to what appears to be a chamber where a chained man was found who says: "So you didn't find him eh!, the man of god, the devil, the devil! I know I tried to teach you the right ways poor child, soon you'll be where all began the final crusade clothing the circle. He's not there he's not dead ; the lord bishop, lord forgive me..."

Once the man stops talking, he dies and Paul is confronted by an executioner-like man who has a double-edged axe. Once Paul defeats him, he arrives at West Belmont where he confronts several soldiers. A villager tells him that he saw Lord Bishop board a ship, so Paul heads to the pier, where he meets what appears to be Adele's soul, which tells him that the Lord Bishop uses her powers to evil acts, spreading their evil in people and creatures of all religions and that is reaching the holy land. Adele then teaches her a prayer that will help her, and she says goodbye to her, telling Paul to get to the holy land.
