In a short moment, the pursuers in the back had approached a distance of about two hundred meters from us, and I could roughly see the faces of the characters on the boat.

I hurried to the plank and shouted to the Holy Knight's ship, "Let your commander come out and speak." ”

"Wang Huan, what do you want to say?" Standing out from the Knights' camp turned out to be our acquaintance, Betty, the head of the Knights of the Holy Light.

I now believe Lan Moying's words, the Holy See is taking the initiative to give up the Knights of the Holy Light, otherwise, no organization will allow a person who has lost the entire team of subordinates to continue to serve as the commander in a short time.

Before I could open my mouth, Betty took the first step and said, "Wang Huan, I know that your eloquence is good. However, I don't want to hear what you have to say. Now, there are only two paths in front of you, one is to give up resistance and surrender immediately. The second is that the demonic body that you took away will die together. I'll give you five minutes to choose. ”

I was slightly shocked in my heart, and I smiled, "Did I hear me right?

Betty said coldly, "You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong. I must tell you that the Demon Body is not as important in the eyes of the Holy See as you think. ”

"Demons are beings that must be destroyed for the light. The difference is in how to exterminate it, whether it is to be executed openly in front of the public or in secret. I think you can understand what I mean!"

My eyes snapped back.

Betty's words are clear, but the Holy See does not want to use the demonic body for research, but to show the world "miracles".

This kind of thing will never happen in the hands of the gods, and the gods are exploring the forbidden areas of myths to uncover the secrets behind the myths, and they are also protecting those secrets that are enough to shock the world.

However, the Holy See is different, because their starting point is very different from that of the Divine See.

The foundation for any religion to stand in the world and develop and grow, in addition to its own teachings, is to show "miracles" to believers.

Most religious people believe in the existence of gods. Believers who do not believe in gods, but simply perceive life from teachings, already belong to another level of existence. They are at a higher level and have a better understanding of religion. However, there are very few such people.

The Holy See already has a holy armament, and if they show the "demons" they have captured, it will be enough to make most people fall into a frenzy, and even take the opportunity to expand their influence a hundredfold and a thousand times.

As for what to do with the demon body, it doesn't matter anymore. They may have given the demons to the official study, but they could also keep them in the Holy See and display them as trophies.

No wonder Lan Moying didn't want to continue working with the Holy See.

My face suddenly became gloomy, and I couldn't get it back in this game. Because I lost the biggest chips.

I was silent when Betty spoke again, "You have four minutes to think about it!"

Before Betty raised her hand slightly, at least a dozen people on the boat chasing us on the right raised their heavy weapons at the same time, and as long as Betty gave the order, our small boat would be wiped out immediately.

My mind was spinning, but I couldn't think of anything to do about it.

Whether we surrender or not, it is a fatal gamble for us.

Surrender, as long as Betty gives the order, a few of us will be on the ground in no time. Besides, I can't think of any reason why Betty shouldn't kill us.

If we don't descend, we will still die, and there will be no bones left.

The only thing I dare to bet on is how desperate the Holy See's need for demonic bodies is.

When I took a deep breath, Betty grabbed ahead of me and said, "Wang Huan, I advise you not to take any chances. In the matter of demons, the Holy See will not compromise with anyone, any force. Demons can only be destroyed. ”

Unconsciously, I raised my eyebrows slightly.

Although Betty only said one word, she revealed a message that the Holy See would destroy the demon body even if it didn't want anything.

This shows that the display of miracles is only an incidental practice of the Holy See, and it is dispensable. But why did the Holy See pay such a big price to go to the Dark Castle to capture Alan's body?

When I was puzzled, there was a sudden loud bang in the direction of the bow, and the whole stowaway boat tilted a few points in an instant in a violent vibration, and I almost fell on the boat with an unsteady footing, and by the time I stood firmly, the deck had tilted outward into a slope of more than thirty degrees.

Ye Xun has hit the rocks!

As soon as the thought came to my head, it scared me into a cold sweat, and we are now trapped in the middle of nowhere, and even if we want to resist, we can't resist.

"It seems that people who trade with demons will not hand in any good luck. Betty sneered and ordered the ships to slowly approach us, and the knights and mercenaries on both ships showed their weapons. The atmosphere at sea was solemn for a while.

I was on full alert, Ye Xun and Li Kitten had already come out of the cabin and stood behind me, I knew that I was already at an absolute disadvantage, but I still had a glimmer of hope: "How is it?"

Ye Xun lowered his voice: "The cabin is flooded, and this boat is no longer saved." ”

I took a deep breath and said, "Where's the coffin?"

"Still ...... in the cabin"

Between the two of us, Betty's boat was close enough that she could force her way across it with a gangplank.

Betty said a little proudly: "Wang Huan, haven't you thought about it yet?"

I hesitated for a moment before throwing away my weapon: "I admit it!"

"Good! With a wave of Betty's hand, several Holy Knights jumped onto the deck and forcibly escorted us through Betty's ship. It didn't take long for the coffin to be found in the cabin.

Betty didn't seem to have any interest in the coffin, and walked around me twice before saying, "Wang Huan, as a captive, you should have the consciousness of a captive, and standing and talking like this is not in line with the identity of a captive." ”

There was a hint of murderous intent in my eyes for a moment: "Then what do you mean?"

"Kneel, beg for mercy!" Betty said coldly, "do what a captive should do." ”

I said coldly: "Lao Tzu's legs are beaten with iron, I don't know how to kneel!"

"Really, how about we try it?" Betty took the two-handed sword from a knight's hand and swept it over the crook of my leg with the scabbard attached, and I felt a sharp pain in the crook of my leg, and the man involuntarily bent his knee forward.

Before my knees hit the ground, I jerked up, and the man was nailed to the ground like a steel nail.

Betty smiled, "Your legs are very hard. I'll let you know, though, that my sword is harder. ”

As soon as Betty's voice fell, she suddenly drew her sword out of its sheath and raised the snow-bright knight's greatsword in the air with both hands, and the frosty sword light slowly flowed from behind me over my spine and deliberately stopped on the side of my cheek.

The moment the sword light paused, several holy knights shouted angrily at the same time: "Don't move!"

A series of sword draws also came to my mind one after another, and those holy knights were warning Ye Xun not to try to resist.

Betty whispered, "Your friend, you don't seem to be happy with the way I greet you. ”

I smiled calmly, "I'm not very satisfied with what you did, you want to cut my legs, preferably in front, so that I can see how you cut off my legs, and you can still maintain respect for your opponent." According to you, this is called chivalry. ”

"That's right!" Betty walked around me with her sword raised, "If, in full accordance with the rules of knighthood, I should give a fair fight." However, you are not a knight and do not deserve my respect. ”

As Betty spoke, the long sword in her hand swung up, and the wind whistle brought by the long sword had not yet blown past my ears, and the half-moon-shaped cold light that the knight's sword turned into had already come straight to my knees.

At the moment when I was at the beginning of the sword, I suddenly raised my hand: "Don't move anyone!"

I'm afraid that Ye Xun will be impulsive, and I'm also afraid that Ren Tianqing and Li Xiaomei will rush up and fight hard, although they are all masters for a while, but under the siege of heavy soldiers, relying on a momentary rush of blood can only increase casualties.

Don't say it's them, even my Ghost Pupil Secret Technique and Heavenly Slash can't be shot casually.

I want to kill Betty easily, but after killing her, we will definitely be dismembered by the Holy Knight's blade, the only thing I can do is to watch Betty cut off my legs, and after she vents her dissatisfaction, let Ren Tianqing and Li Kitten go.

I know that pinning your hopes on your opponent is the worst option. However, at this time, I can only pin my hopes on this kind of illusory thing, and I can keep one and count one!

I watched without blinking my eyes as Betty's long sword pressed against my knee, but the other party restrained his strength at the moment when the blade was about to cut into my bones and said, "Wang Huan, you have won my mercy with your bravery. I'm so sorry!"

If the word "mercy" came from the mouth of an Oriental, I would have been furious, but Betty was different, she was a knight.

The "mercy" in the knightly code is not only sympathy for the weak, but also respect for the opponent.

A true knight must have a broad and tolerant heart. Knights are tasked with the task of eliminating evil and seeking justice, and although knights are loyal to the lord or the royal family, justice should be the norm for their behavior.

The knights were filled with respect for their adversaries who dared to sacrifice, which led them to dare to disobey the king's orders. There is also a saying in Huaxia that heroes cherish heroes, and among the two people who have no choice but to become opponents due to the situation, friendship may be greater than hatred.

Betty held her sword and said, "I respect your bravery, but I can't let you go, because you're not a true knight yet." ”

I understand what Betty means, I have nothing to do with chivalry other than daring to work hard. So Betty would have a polite respect for me, but no sense of heroism.

I was not sure whether to say thank you or not, when a knight hurried to Betty's side.
