I was about to grab Anne, but the latter pointed to a piece of wood on the ground and said, "...... here."

"Let's go!" I just glanced at the stump that looked like someone had cut it off with a knife, and pulled Anne up and hid among the fallen leaves nearby.

Anne hadn't heard the Knights' footsteps until now: "What's the matter, you're talking?"

"It's a torture cross, and you have to test it!" I said quickly, and then made a silent gesture to Anne. Although the latter held back his voice, his face became more and more pale.

Originally, the cross was not a symbol of the Church, but an instrument of torture used to carry out the death penalty, and it could be said that it was a form of execution. It was especially popular in the Persian Empire and ancient Rome.

Crosses were often used to put to death rebels, pagans, slaves, and those without citizenship. At that time, this death penalty was also a taboo. Due to the large amount of resources consumed, it is common for only a few people to be executed in a year. This penalty is not applied except in cases of extreme recidivism.

It was not until after Jesus' crucifixion that the cross was given a new meaning, representing God's love and redemption for the world, and becoming a sacred and inviolable symbol.

In Western heraldry, different images of the cross appeared, and there were as many as 385 kinds of heraldic transformed from the cross.

The coat of arms of the West, also known as the business card of the nobility, is an identification that belongs exclusively to a certain person, family or group. Europe had its own heraldic system in the Middle Ages.

Originally known as the coat of arms, she was born on the battlefields of the 12th century, and the main purpose of the coat of arms was to identify knights who were unrecognizable due to their armor. This is where the common belief that heraldry is the patent of the nobility is derived.

Among the coats of arms is a symbol called the Anthony Cross, which is a "T" frame. Also known as the robber's cross, legend has it that robbers were also hanged on the execution ground at the time of Jesus' martyrdom, and the torture instrument at that time was this "T" shaped cross.

Just now, the Knight Chief stopped the first adventurers from picking up the machete, and I thought it was strange. Later, when the screams of the three adventurers were heard, I saw the Knights praying solemnly, and I guessed that the execution was taking place in the distance.

In medieval Europe, the death penalty may not be much different from street juggling to those at the bottom of society, and it was not uncommon to scramble to see the death penalty. But in the aristocracy, the death penalty is a serious thing, and the process of observing the punishment must maintain reverence and solemnity, and the church at that time happened to be the absolute top of Europe.

The Knights of Light were the continuation of the Knights of the Church at that time, and all the rules and customs would naturally be passed down.

At that time, I guessed that the difference between the jungle cross should be in its function.

Crosses of different meanings will execute different people. However, they do not make any difference until they have taken the lives of their prey. This is the curse of the Cross Jungle.

Although I guessed the execution method of the Cross Jungle, I didn't guess what the Knight Chief chose the three adventurers on the basis of that.

If it was based on their actions, then the chief knight must first know that the three of them were robbers, or had committed robber crimes. As the chief knight of the church, go back to pay attention to a group of adventurers? I'm afraid they can't even collect all the information about each other, right?

As my mind turned, the Knight of Light was approaching the edge of the T-frame. The chief knight said, "Mark your current position and continue to let the captive go in the other direction." ”

As I peeked in the direction of the crowd, the chief knight was also scanning the crowd: "Roll up your sleeves." ”

After the members of the Falcon Regiment rolled up their sleeves one by one, the arms of the three people also showed a "Y" shaped pattern, but André had an "X" shaped coat of arms on his hands.

That's right!

I didn't pay attention to the arms of the three adventurers just now, and now it seems that the three of them should have similar marks on their bodies, which is in line with the situation of "curse", and legend has it that those who have encountered a curse will have special marks on their bodies.

"Two kinds of markers?" the chief knight muttered for a moment before he said, "You three go this way, you go this way." ”

As the four adventurers left without saying a word, I saw Andre walking towards us.

I patted Anne's hand lightly, and I took advantage of Andre's efforts to push the branches on the ground to move to his side, potentially to the other party's side, Andre took a step forward, I moved a little, and followed the other party a little bit out of the knights' sight.

Andre turned around several times and made sure that he couldn't see the knights, before he said angrily: "Wang Huan, did you cause the conflict between us and the Holy Light Knight?"

I looked at each other with a smirk, "Without me, wouldn't you be in conflict?Don't forget, what kind of place is this?No matter what curse you have, you will be the target of the Holy Light Knight's extermination." ”

André suppressed his anger and whispered, "What now? What should we do? The falcons are all in the hands of the Knights, and we are in the Cursed Lands again. Wang Huan, I don't care if you did it just now, if you can save us, the grievances between us will be written off. Otherwise, I'll call the Knights at once. ”

I looked at Andre, whose eyes were red, and said, "We can join forces, I will help you rescue people, and we will join forces to kill the Knights." ”

"Okay!" Andre nodded, "We'll go back now." ”

"Wait a minute!" I raised my hand to stop Andre, "You're not afraid of a curse?"

Andrei rolled up his cuffs: "It's not a curse, it's my original tattoo." It's just very similar to the cursed logo. ”

It was then that I realized why Andre had made an "X" gesture to remind me that he could get out of the group.

I was about to say something more, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my arm, and when I looked down, my left arm seemed to have been burned with a soldering iron, and the slightest smoke rose out, and when the smell of burnt human skin rose with the wind, the skin and flesh on my arm also sunken down, as if the reverse cross brand was branded by a soldering iron suddenly appeared on my arm, and the fishy smell overflowed, and the pain entered the bone marrow.

"Reverse Cross!" Andrei couldn't help but exclaim and retreated: "You are cursed! You ......"

When I looked at Andre with my hand over the wound, Anne's exclamation suddenly came from a distance: "Wang Huan, go quickly!" The sound of the Holy Light Knight's feet stepping on the fallen leaves also rose.

Without hesitation, I turned around and rushed into the woods, Andrei only hesitated for a moment before catching up from behind, I took off my backpack with my backhand and threw it to the other party: "There is a weapon in the bag, be careful yourself!"

As I spoke, I turned around and hid in the fallen leaves on the ground, and when Andre tried to hide again, it was too late, so he could only pull out a shotgun from his backpack and aim it at the Holy Light Knight who was running behind him.

When I escaped from the tunnel, my equipment was already out of order, and I didn't know what was in my backpack. Now I think I'm carrying someone else's backpack, otherwise I wouldn't have a shotgun in it.

André grabbed his spear and hid behind a tree, and pulled the trigger on one of the knights of the Light, who spewed out the gunfire and hit the air, but the other four knights of the Light passed by their companions and rushed in the direction of Andre.

Andrei simply stood up from behind the big tree, and the fire of the shotgun in his hand sprayed out again and again, and the four knights of the Holy Light were shot into the air by him one after another, but they stood up with black spots all over their bodies and continued to rush towards Andre.

At this time, Andre had already emptied the bullet of the shotgun gun, and it was too late to change the ammunition, so he simply drew the machete on his body, pulled out the posture and stood in front of the Holy Light Knight.

I stood up in the midst of a knight's rapid advance, the long sword in my hand formed a silver-white circle of light, and slashed horizontally under the opponent's neck, the blood-stained sword light did not stop, the knight's headless corpse had already rushed out of the three corners, and knelt on the ground with both hands holding the double sword.

The corpse supported by the sword body stood without falling, and the blood spurting out of the opponent's cavity instantly stained the knight's armor, but the remaining four knights of holy light stopped their steps at the same time after their companions died, and retreated backwards step by step with their long swords in hand.

I was stunned: the knights were clearly afraid of something, otherwise they wouldn't have been in the process of moving forward.

What are they afraid of the headless corpse?

As soon as I reacted, the four knights threw away their long swords and fled. But before the four men had taken a few steps, I heard a few bowstrings vibrating in the distance, and when I turned my head again, the three knights had been killed by long arrows through their throats.

Ye Xun followed!

As soon as I wanted to look up, I saw the only knight left, facing Ye Xun, who flashed from the forest.

That man didn't have the intention of fighting Ye Xun at all, just took a photo with him, turned around and fled. The other party fled as fast as a galloping horse. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of a distance of more than ten meters.

Before the man could run far, the four members of the tulip family jumped up in the middle of the falling leaves, shook off the ropes in their hands and stopped in front of each other. It was too late for the man to regain momentum, so he slammed into the opponent's rope.

The Knight of Light fell to the ground under the shock of the rope, and the four members of the tulip also fell to the ground under the force of the other party.

Ye Xun didn't wait for the knight to get up, as if he stepped forward and waved down the long sword, Ye Xun's sword blade did not mean to hurt people, but swept over the opponent's armor, and the dazzling sparks went from the opponent's throat to the lower abdomen, and the divine armor was cut out of a gap, and the long sword in Ye Xun's hand also broke off half of the blade.

Ye Xun gestured to me with a don't move his finger, and walked towards the opponent with his long sword diagonally.

Ye Xun was approaching the opponent step by step, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it fiercely into the gap in the armor, the opponent's blade had not had time to get close to the armor, Ye Xun's long sword had already come first, and the silver-white sword was between three feet in length and width, and a sword slashed the opponent's wrist.

Ye Xun looked at his opponent again.
