When the sun had completely set and the night was gradually darkening the sky, Feige used teleportation to return to the mountain. As soon as he stepped out of the spatial passage, he was dragged by Xia Ni's arm and squatted down. At this moment there was a shout from the bottom of the mountain: "Look at the flash! He's on it! Hurry! Speed up, or he'll run away!"

Cautiously poking their heads out of the rocks on the edge of the cliff and looking down, more than twenty paladins and priests were climbing up the steep mountain wall. With the help of divine magic, they act like nimble geckos, holding their heavily armored bodies in place with the help of gaps and tiny bumps in the rocks, and they can rise at a rate almost as fast as they can walk on land. "They discovered you using a teleportation technique, and it is estimated that the light opened by the spatial passage was detected. Shani said.

Feige looked down the hill and noticed that not only was the "Capture Feige Squad" climbing, but the Thunder Army's camp was also moving. The three teams of paladins took out their horses from the stables, conjured saddles and other harnesses with divine magic, and turned over and rode directly. They split into three lines and tried to surround the mountain. This is a common round-up tactic, but it doesn't really work against opponents with teleportation abilities.

But they still did it, which only shows that Broomfield is bound to get Feiqi and has done his best to deal with it. It is estimated that he thinks that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, but he is afraid that he thinks about the relationship between the lion and the rabbit in reverse.

"Sorry to leave you here alone, I overlooked that using spells would get their attention. Feige grabbed Shanny's hand and led her away from the edge of the cliff. "I should have taken you away at this point, but I didn't do that bombing email from the Thunder Army, and this matter must be clarified so that it wouldn't be used, so I'm going to stay with Broomfield. ”

"It's us who want to stay. Shani said. As soon as she shook her head, the little snakes on her head bit the veil with their mouths and covered themselves in unison. "I'm with you. If they want to be bad for us, they must first overcome their own paralysis. ”

"Okay, let's do it together. Fitch took Shanny's waist in one hand and took out the Eye of Coktar with the other, manipulating it to find Broomfield's location. The head of the Thunder Army was just outside his tent, holding binoculars in both hands and looking in the direction of the mountain. He had an anxious look on his face, but he didn't know if he was anxious to catch Feige or for the safety of his soldiers. Feige motioned for Shane to get ready, and then using the vision of the Eye of Coktar as a reference, a teleport came behind Broomfield.

"The letter that exploded was not written by me, nor was it made by the King's Army, and my father would not lie to me. ”

Broomfield spun around sharply, the telescope flew out, and the longsword was drawn. At the same time, the four paladins and three priests around him also spotted Feiqi, and immediately drew their weapons or chanted incantations, and the refined metal weapons shone in the light of the divine thunder. Feige hugged Shani tightly, his only concern was that he might not be able to avoid hurting Shanny. "Broomfield, I'm here to talk. ”

"You have a lot of guts," Broomfield didn't put down his sword, but he didn't give the order to attack either. "If I catch you here, then the King's Army will have to withdraw its troops......"

"No, you can't catch me, I've traveled thousands of times the size of this camp, and I've suffered only minor injuries. If you people do your best, you risk hurting my beloved woman. "Neither a gentleman nor a knight should be allowed to hurt a lady, so I suggest a conversation." ”

"If you can tie your hands, I'm willing to swear by the honor of a paladin to keep you safe, and we can have a good talk. ”

"I can cast spells without using my hands. "Feige just wanted to talk as an emissary, not to turn himself into a captive, not even for a second. "You can find as many armed men as you want to watch while we talk, but don't try to restrain me with material or magical methods. I don't have the blood of a single devout member of the church on my hands, so don't let me make this exception today. ”

"Saint of the Church......" Broomfield said, frowning and complicated, "you mentioned the letter of the explosion...... If you didn't do it, how would you know about it?"

"I can see what's going on in your tent with a spell, and know exactly what you're talking about, and a tent won't stop me from accessing your secrets. "I saw the contents of the letter, and I saw that the priest with the blue ribbon verified the authenticity of the letter with a prophetic spell, and then it exploded—do you need any other proof?"

"Although I have thought of your spell abilities as high, I still have to admit that I underestimated you. Broomfield held out two fingers from his left hand and shook them at his side. The surrounding knights and priests, while not putting away their spells and weapons, at least lowered them. "Feige, just because you know what's going on in the tent doesn't prove that you or the King's Army didn't do it. ”

"Yes, it really can't be proved, and in theory, the two things don't prove each other's innocence. Feige nodded and said, "I came to you to tell you about it entirely out of personal pride. I don't want the paladins and priests of the church to die by magic, but if you are provoked by that letter, or attack for any other reason, my duty here is to make sure you all lose here. In other words, I have many ways to win this battle - you may not like to hear it, so I'll change it - no matter what the outcome of this conflict is, I don't need the help of the conspirators, let alone any conspirators to make a profit!"

"And who do you think this conspirator might be?"

"The Cult of Destruction and Rebirth, or anyone, is possible. Feige shook his head and said, "Knight Broomfield, the archbishop has created a disagreement with the king over the ownership of the Lighthouse Realm, but all the people of the Church of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder, whether Paladins, priests, saints, or Templars, will not allow the lackeys of the cult to rely on intrigue to achieve their ulterior motives. ”

Feiqi's words could be agreed by everyone present, after all, everyone was a believer wearing the same kind of emblem and praying in front of a goddess, and the Church did announce that it would thoroughly investigate and eliminate the Sect of Destruction and Rebirth, which everyone knew. Broomfield sighed deeply, and he turned his head slightly, noticing that the elite who was climbing the mountain had seen the situation in the camp and was rushing back at full speed. He counted the time it had taken for the flash to go up the hill and then appear in the camp, and found that the knights and priests, no matter how fast they sped up, didn't have time to come back and catch Feige.

"Feige, you can come and go when you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I don't have the full evidence to believe that the letter was written by you or the King's Army, and I can't just take your word for it. Broomfield withdrew his sword back into its scabbard, straightened the shoulder straps of his armor, straightened his chest, and said, "But if you let the King's army retreat thirty miles and show sincerity, I can promise that I will not link this matter with the King's army until this matter is thoroughly investigated, and I will not change the established strategy because of this." ”

Feige thought for a moment, looked at Shani, and then shook his head. "I am not the commander of the King's army, and I cannot promise you such a thing. But...... The two of us can stay with you here. ”

Shanny tilted her head to look at Feige, then nodded to Broomfield. She said, "Lord Paladin, Feige's opinion is mine, but I will add that we are still scouts of the King's army, not your prisoners. At best, we continue to investigate you while you know about it, and we are not arrested by you. ”

"I'll draw an area outside your camp and insert the pieces of the King's Army, and the two of us will stay inside. You can send as many people as you want, chat or have dinner, as long as you don't set foot in. "It's better to have a tent for us, and always give the woman some privacy." I don't have to go into a tent, I'm just outside for you to visit. That's enough sincerity, isn't it?"

The expression on the paladin's face can be described as wonderful, blue, white, red, black, and the colors are constantly changing. As a young man, he hired a troubadour to play himself and pretend to be a troubadour to investigate cases, an unprecedented act of wandering around the periphery of paladin dogma, and he had always considered himself agile and proud of the experience. He always recalled the look of surprise and admiration on Kanter Hale's face when they were acting together, so much so that even when Kanter later became Earl of Hall and the Templars, became the king's father, and was in a high position, he did not consider himself to be the underdog. However, Kanter Hall's son's commotion completely shocked him, and he felt that he had suddenly become the Kanter Hall of the year.

"You...... This...... What are you doing this for? Just to prove that there are conspirators, and to show that you don't care about the Thunder Army at all?"

"I have heard you say in your tent that you should hold out for a while, and then the archbishop's envoy will return, and this dispute will be settled. Our king's army will not retreat, but we also hope that the dispute can be resolved, and this is the most fundamental reason. Feige continued: "I don't need to prove anything, I just want to bankrupt the conspirators' plans to sow discord." As for the Thunder Army, if I hadn't paid attention to you, I would have attacked by the same way as pirates. Even if I don't kill or hurt anyone, I can burn all your baggage, can you still hold on at that time? Even if people can stand it, do you still have horses that can fight?"

"Well, I've heard you burned down pirate docks and harbors - burning ships at sea is the same as killing horses on land, and that's what you can do. But you seem to be taking the pastor of the church too lightly. Broomfield said, "You're so proud, are you so sure you can always dominate the situation?Your teleportation is fast, but can you dodge the thunder?"

Feige could see that Broomfield had a sense of compromise, but he was the commander of the army, and if he insisted that he must act according to the opponent's arrangement, especially in public, it was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man. So, in response to Brumfield's question, Feige thought carefully about it, and then found a suitable entry point and way to answer it. He believed that if the conflict between the two sides could be avoided, and that it would be worth it as long as it persisted until the envoy of Archbishop Don de Miep completed his mission.

"My confidence in my own strength is no different from yours, except for a real fight, there is no way to really know the outcome of the victory or defeat. Even if there are several fights, it may not necessarily convince both sides. Feiqi said slowly in a steady tone: "The real important thing is not to know who is more powerful, but to see if the two sides can leave room for survival in the future before entering the final means of war." A pirate can be said to have a conscience if he is willing to leave a way for the plundered to return home, a robber is willing to give to the poor, the punishment for his crime is mitigated, and a gentleman cannot bear to hurt a child, and a knight does not mistreat his captives. Leave a glimmer of life, and the fight will not develop into an eternal hatred of death and death. ”

"In the presence of the Goddess—perhaps the Goddess did not witness this, but I think there will always be people among the saints and angels of the Kingdom of God who will bear witness," said Feige, "and I limit my freedom as a matter of sincerity, and I hope that you will respect it according to the creed of the Paladin." Paladins and saints, sons of one commander and another, plus my most beloved woman, I believe that this agreement is reciprocal, fair, and its purpose is good and worthy of the efforts of the devotees of the goddess. ”

He concluded, "And I've always had a good reputation—at least after I've been in exile and listening to the teachings of the Ice Peak." ”

Paladins vs. Saints, that's a good point, Broomfield nodded. "If there is no effort for good deeds, then there is no need for the Paladin to exist. But this matter still needs to be refined in terms of fairness, and it can't be exactly as you say. ”

"Is it a discussion now? Great, I'm listening. ”

"You have to draw a piece of land to show that you are not captured, and that's okay, but not in this place. This is the Catholic Territory, and your enclosure here is out of bounds. Broomfield said, "On the other side of the hill is the lighthouse collar, and you can sit there near the dividing line, and I'll circle you in a semicircle." You have teleportation, and there is no difference between a semicircle and a full circle. And you find a way to find a tent yourself, I have no reason to give it to you - unless you are a prisoner. ”

Hey, Broomfield's mind was spinning fast! Feige suddenly realized that the paladin in front of him was not the rigid and rigid person he remembered. Able to deal with unexpected situations flexibly, it's no wonder that he can lead the Thunder Army. From this point of view, Archbishop Donte Mip has chosen a good person, and only this kind of person can ensure that there are no major problems at the front, so that negotiations and compromises are possible.

"Okay, I think you have a point. Feige reached forward and said to Broomfield, "It's a good deal." ”

"As a commander, I will not shake your hand, but it is still a covenant witnessed by a goddess. Broomfield kissed the emblem on the armour's gauntlet and said, "This is the pact between the paladins and the saints. ”

Feige withdrew his hand and nodded. "Lead the way, find me a place. ”
