Pan Long had accurately estimated the speed of the Frese Army, and after waiting for about three and a half hours, with the sound of some messy footsteps, horses' hooves, and wheels in the distance, the Holy Legion of the Frese Army finally appeared in the direction of the horizon.

"It's too late! I've even finished my daily routine internal cultivation......" Pan Long shook his head and stood up.

He climbed up to the big tree near the entrance of the village and looked at the Frese army in the distance, and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"Looks like they didn't have a good night's rest last night. ”

Although this group of troops is still well-equipped, they are really not in good shape. Their formation was disorganized, spearmen and sword and shield men were in disarray, heavy infantry and archers were mixed, and cavalry was mixed in the whole ranks, some in front and some in the rear, and it was not known how they had come to this humiliating appearance.

But there are also those in this army who seem to be more reliable. For example, the two carriages, they followed the principle of "the caster stays behind", and all of them stayed behind the large army, and they didn't know whether they were relatively well trained, or were they used to letting their comrades rush to the front, ready to flee at any time?

Pan Long secretly thought, judging from their habits, it should be the latter, but judging from the actual situation this time...... Maybe they just can't hide any further?

Because behind those two chariots, there were about twenty cavalrymen. They were heavily armed, their armor shimmering in the sunlight with a colourful shimmer that was completely different from that of normal metal. They were in a neat line, and at all times they had the man in the ornate robe at the innermost. They were murderous, and even from such a distance, Pan Long could feel the sense of threat emanating from them.

In this battle, they were the only enemies Pan Long was wary of.

The Knights of the Guards of the Holy Legion have an average level of around level 40.

This group of people were all mad admirers of Thlex, and could die for him at any time. It is not easy to kill Therres under the escort of this group of people, win the opportunity to defeat the army of Frese, and save the village of Runa!

Therefore, Pan Long has to use a little trickery.

"Almost!" he jumped off the canopy, picked up his fist and struck himself twice in the face, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he scratched at his face and body, and his hair and clothes were messed up, and several blood marks appeared on his face.

He didn't think that was enough, so he poured a water bag on his head, drenched himself, and then lay on the ground and rolled a few more times, covering himself with mud and dust, and looked even worse than a defeated rooster, and even if he ran into the camp, he would be one of the most embarrassed.

Then, he snapped a thick twig as a crutch, and limped toward the Frese army.

"My lord!" he cried out hoarsely, "You are at last! Praise the One Most High God, I have finally looked forward to you!"

The Frese Army was stunned when they saw such an embarrassed person running over.

They were going to come to Runa Village to suppress and slaughter the infidels, but how could a person who seemed to be a member of the One God Cult still be so embarrassed?

Pan Long was still yelling, looking like he was happy to see his relatives. Walking and walking, probably because he was in a hurry, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and finally stood up again with his crutches, but his appearance was even more miserable, and even the bandits of the Holy Legion had a vague sympathy.

Everyone is a believer in the Unitarian Religion, and seeing his miserable appearance, many people even guessed what happened to him just by making up their brains - the believers of the Unitarian Religion went to the infidel village, somehow clashed with the infidels, and then received a solid beating.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it can even be said to be commonplace.

In other religions, the reputation of the Unitarian Church is truly stinking. So much so that with the exception of missionaries and the military, ordinary believers have to pretend that they are not religious in order to avoid trouble.

However, compared to the Unitarian religion, the infidels were hacked to death, burned, and stoned to death...... What is all this?

Soon, two soldiers came up and asked what Pan Long was doing.

"I'm John, the nephew of Ron, the head of Runa Village. Pan Long said, "I used to be deceived by the evil belief in the moon god, but not long ago, while listening to the gospel, I suddenly woke up and converted to the true faith. I think we should let more people recite the holy scriptures together, embrace the right faith, and obtain the salvation of the soul. So I came to Runa Village to spread the word to them. ”

He paused, his voice choked and aggrieved, and there was a forcibly suppressed anger: "As a result...... Outcome...... They beat me!"

Among the Frese soldiers, many people couldn't help but laugh. Someone else whispered, "Another fool!"

"What's so strange about believing that we have become fools? ”

"It's good to be a fool, it's just a blessing. ”

"That's right, it's actually quite happy to live like him. ”

These remarks were not reprimanded or punished by the fanatics of the Most Holy Legion's core - the Unitarian Cult does not have high requirements for piety, especially the cannon fodder soldiers who fought for them, as long as they were willing to pay lip service to themselves as religious.

For Thleus, the "Most Holy One", as long as he was willing to shout two slogans at the altar symbolizing the "One God" and proclaimed himself to be the One God, he was an acceptable soldier.

Even, as long as he is willing to join the Holy Legion, not to mention the rogue bandits, even the demons who gain strength from people's suffering and death, or the necromancers who desecrate corpses and manipulate the undead, and even the sorcerers who make contracts with demons and sell their souls, are all good soldiers for him.

As long as he is willing to join the Most Holy Legion, as long as he is willing to fight for him, any mad crime can be pardoned, which Thles once explained, saying that it is "striking darkness with the power of darkness, which is enough to manifest the light".

Anyway, that's what happened, Pan Long is not strange at all.

It is not surprising that people who can wield butcher knives against ordinary people do any bad things. On the contrary, if they do good deeds, it deserves to be widely publicized in the newspapers......

"And what are you doing now?" asked a Frese soldier in neat armor who looked like he should be a squad leader.

"Probably after being beaten, they came to us for support. A subordinate next to him said.

"He's lucky, we're here. If it had been yesterday or earlier, he would have been beaten in vain. ”

"Ahh

"Hey, don't you sympathize with him and want to give him a share of the benefits you'll grab later?

"It doesn't matter if you give him a share, see how he's beaten...... The high priest would have agreed. ”

"Then wait for the high priest to give an order!

"Yes, I owe a lot of money to the 'Flower House', and if I don't get a lot of money back, I won't be able to enter the door in the future. ”

"Then you are miserable, the proprietress of the flower house is a relative of the high priest, if you owe money for a long time, beware of the high priest sending you to the border to repair the city wall. The work subsidy can be high, just to pay off the debt. ”

"Ahhh

The soldiers laughed and joked with each other, not caring.

They have long been accustomed to plundering and killing, plundering and slaughtering, and are not worth mentioning at all for them.

That's what they do, that's their life.

As for compassion, humanity, sin...... These things, they don't care about for a long time. As for avenging the parishioners, they didn't even think about it.

Thleus had specifically selected those scumbags who had done a lot of evil to form this legion, and what he wanted to use was the ferocity and evil of these people. As for honor, style of construction, and the image of the army...... He didn't care about these things at all.

In the entire Holy Legion, only his guards are an elite force composed of fanatics of the One God Cult.

This guard is not only his bodyguard, but also the enforcer of military discipline, and the overseer team on the battlefield. They were only responsible for two jobs, one was to protect him and ensure his safety, and the other was to execute anyone he was going to put to death according to his orders.

They do this job so well that they can even pay with their lives for it.

For Thleus was not only the commander of their legions, but also the high priest of the Monotheistic Cult, the "Most Holy One".

For these fanatics, Thleus was the embodiment of the "One God" they believed in. As long as Thleus gave an order, let alone murder and arson, even if they were asked to attack the palace, or even kill themselves with a knife, they would not hesitate.

For Thleus and this group of fanatics, even the emperor was a little jealous. The Holy Legion has never operated outside the central provinces of the Empire, and has never been recalled to the hinterland of the Empire. And Thleus himself was also very cautious, either living in the legion or in the temple of the Monotheistic Cult, always surrounded by a group of fanatical believers, and never going to the imperial capital.

The relationship between him and the emperor can be seen by anyone that they are jealous of each other and use each other.

In the game, there are many follow-ups to the story about this guy. However, it has nothing to do with Pan Long.

What he wants to do is to play the role of a believer who has been beaten for preaching, who is both aggrieved and angry, and at the same time full of yearning for the top of the Monotheistic Church, and wants to worship the "Holy One" Tharises.

Such an identity is said to have the opportunity to meet Thleus and get a word of praise from him.

Of course, Pan Long didn't care about Thleus's praise, he wanted the opportunity to get close to Thleus.

Although his night attack was successful last day, the army was less than two hundred men. But if you want to break through the defense of 200 people and kill Thleus, whose strength may still be above you, it is still an almost impossible task.

So he used a famous ruse, the Bitter Meat Scheme.
