Chapter 257: Worth It or Not

A sword, a sword, a halberd, and three weapons hovered behind Muria, thunder and flames swirled on them, and the black-haired and golden-eyed boy looked at the undead who surrounded the paladin below.

Because the lich that had left their mark on their souls had been slain, and they had lost their restraints, some of the undead could not control the temptation to kill the Holy Spirit and rushed towards the paladins, while others with higher intelligence began to flee frantically into the distance after seeing their master easily killed.

However, no matter what choice was made, it was the same fate, Muria stood in mid-air, stretched out his hand and pressed down, three exclusive weapons wrapped in thunder and flames, and smashed down with Muria's gesture towards the undead who surrounded the paladin.

Where the three weapons fell, those mid-to-high-level undead under the command of the lich, gargoyles, dark knights, and abominations...... A cry of fear erupted, then to ashes, and then thunder, dragon flames, and hurricanes burst out from the three weapons and swept away the remnants of the undead.

The paladins stared blankly at the black-haired and golden-eyed boy in the sky, and everything that could threaten them was cleared by the young man in front of him in the time that the lich appeared and was still ten breaths.

"Thank you for your help!" As Muria fell from the sky, the leader of the paladins bowed slightly to Muria, and although he didn't know who he was, he did save them. Otherwise, their team of holy warriors would also be wiped out.

"It should. Muria stretched out her hand, withdrew her weapon, and then looked at the seven withered paladins who were protected in the middle of the group.

Around them, there are many dry corpses, through the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, you can confirm their identities, they are all holy warriors who burned their lives and died of exhaustion.

"Click!" "Click!" ...... Muria stepped on the ground and walked towards the seven paladins who were no longer shrouded in divine light, and three of them were holding a baby in one hand, because their other hand needed to hold the sword.

Looking at the seven scarred paladins, Muria took a deep breath and asked with an extremely heavy heart, "What about the rest of your team?"

"They're all dead!" said a paladin with a withered description and a somewhat shriveled face.

"This is what you rescued?" Muriyah said, gesturing to the child in their arms.

"Yes, we are so incompetent, we sacrificed so many companions to save three children, we should have brought more than a hundred people from the city, but we failed to protect them. The paladin's face was full of bitterness and guilt, "We can't save them." ”

"......" Muria was silent, her eyes looked around, the ground was full of wreckage, broken corpses, in addition to the corpses of dozens of holy warriors, there were also some fragments of blood-stained cloth and stumps, which seemed to explain something.

"I don't blame you. Muria looked at the ground at his feet, a severed arm holding a long sword that had not been let go of death, covered with marks of being bitten by ghouls, "You have done your best. ”

"I'm too weak, if only I had gold-level strength. A paladin who was also burning his life, and now can only be said to be alive, bowed his head and expressed his regret: "This way I can not only kill a few more undead, but also burn my soul, and maybe I can save one or two more." ”

Muria watched in silence as the paladins who had just entered the kingdom of Bavaria dismounted to gather the corpses of their companions, or split the bodies of ghouls and abominations with their swords in an attempt to find the stumps of their companions and piece together the complete corpses......

"Your Excellency, may I ask you for one thing?" It didn't take long for several gold-level paladins to find Muria.

"You say. ”

"Could you please take these three children and these seven companions out?"

"That's it?" Muria was slightly stunned, he had expected these paladins to ask him to join the team, but he never expected such a simple request.

"If it's convenient, please take the remains of our companions out as well!"

"And what are you going to do?" asked Muria.

"Keep going, of course. The leader said in a tone of course. "Their team has already rescued three children, we can't be worse than them!"

"At the cost of the sacrifice of three hundred of the best paladins, save three children. Muria was silent, and the price of this ......

"Your Excellency?" Seeing that Muria was silent, a paladin shouted tentatively.

"You don't need to call me Your Excellency, my name is Muria, you can just call me by my name. ”

"Your Excellency Muria, how have you considered our request?"

"Why don't you invite me to join you?" Muriya looked at the three paladins in front of him, whose faces were shrouded in divine light, and whose faces could not be seen clearly.

"Lord Muria, you're not human, are you?"

"It's not. ”

"Enter the Kingdom of Bavaria and rescue our compatriots, we will not ask for help from any race. ”

"Because that's going to die!" added another paladin, "and there's the consequence of soul depravity." Even if we holy warriors are not willing to enter, how can we ask others?"

"I grant your request, and I will take them and the remains of your companions out safely. Muria's heart throbbed slightly when she heard the paladin's answer, and she agreed to their request.

Just now, all the holy warriors saw his formidable combat power, but no one asked him to join, and no one told him anything like the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

I wonder if I am willing to do good deeds without being able to guarantee my own safety, and if doing good to save others ends in death, will anyone still be willing?

If you do good deeds to save people, you will not only die, but also suffer the pain of falling into the eighteen layers of hell after death? Will anyone else be willing to do good? Whether there was such a person in a previous life, Muria does not know.

But in the world of Erathia, Aeoria can say with great certainty: Yes, because before him stood such a group of people who were willing to endure the most painful torment in the eyes of mortals for the sake of their beliefs.

......

"What happened?"

"The undead were rushing into the depths of the fog, and something seemed to be attracting them. ”

"Someone rushed in with those holy warriors just now, flying in from the sky, at least a gold rank. ”

...... As Muria followed the paladins into the grey mist of the dead, the crowd exploded, and the kingdom troops on the walls of the fortress finally reacted.

The sacred defensive barrier dedicated to the necromancers opened, the ballista was wound, and a demonic guide cannon was charged and activated, entering a state where it could be fired immediately......
