Chapter 127: The Glory of Knights
The body was severely whipped by the water-soaked whip, the bamboo skewers were nailed into the nails, and then the nails were pulled out, the red-hot iron burned the flesh and made a foul smell and a stinking sound, and the prison echoed Walter's screams, mixed with miserable long laughter, and those who were executed looked at Walter who was covered in bruises but laughed miserably, and their hearts were creepy.
"! This crazy woman! ”
Zizi~~
The red-hot iron was put on Walter's abdomen, scorching and burning the skin that had just recovered yesterday, Walter let out a painful snort in his throat, and forced the scream in his mouth, she looked at the middle-aged man who was executed in front of her, and said with a wry smile: "Do you still remember that I was the one who saved hundreds of civilians?" ”
The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the iron bar in his hand was thrown Walter's body, leaving a bright red blood mark.
"You're just a heretic, and you still think of yourself as a hero! Look at what the hell you look like! Where is the slightest hint of human appearance? Traitor to humanity! Lackeys of the demons! The middle-aged man roared angrily at Walter.
Walter saw the other party's appearance, sighed lightly, and lowered her head helplessly, she didn't resent the other party, but just lamented the fragility of human nature, just a little change, and the only conscience would be wiped out. She still remembered that at the beginning, it was also this middle-aged guard, and the other party was not even willing to execute herself, even if the whip was whipped on her body, the other party's eyes were full of pity and guilt, presumably she was still a hero in the other party's heart at that time.
And in just a month and a half, the fact that she saved people has not changed, but the middle-aged guard has been assimilated by the gossip of the people around him, and completely regards himself as an evil heretic.
"Humans are creatures...... Can it really be saved? ”
The whip still whipped at her, but Walter was no longer silent, her once haughty head hung low, she had never felt so helpless and lost about the future of humanity.
"Enough, stop fighting, she's going to the execution ground."
Hearing this, the middle-aged guard stopped beating and panted and pushed the stake towards the execution ground.
"Finally, the last days have come."
Walking out of the dimly lit dungeon, Walter arrives at the execution ground.
The dazzling sunlight hit her face, forcing her to close her eyes, her body was covered only by a tattered dirty cloth, her body was already riddled with holes, the horrific scars and black tattoos that symbolized evil, made this body a sign of betrayal of humanity in the eyes of everyone.
As soon as she saw the sun, the most vicious curses and invectives rushed into her ears, and she remembered that when she was first imprisoned, she could still faintly hear people praying for her from the crowd. But when she came out, she couldn't find a voice that took pity on her. Looking at those hateful faces, Walter's heart felt as if he had been pierced by a knife.
"Huh!"
A sneer.
Walter raised his head suddenly, the bright light in his eyes flashed, and his weak body suddenly broke free from the hands of the escorts on both sides, stepped forward, and looked down at the people below the execution ground.
Listening to the most vicious curse, Walter suddenly shouted, "Why! ”
Her action frightened everyone, and everyone in the arena fell silent, staring at the heretic in shock.
"I have always faithfully guarded the people I should protect, and I am ready to sacrifice for it.
From the moment I was canonized, I have been honest and fair, punishing the violent and showing mercy to the weak!
On the battlefield, I was indomitable, regardless of life and death, and I never thought of abandoning my faith for survival!
But what about now? The people I have been guarding have taken me to the execution ground with their own hands, put shackles on me, and put blades around my neck to give me so-called holy sanctions, because of the terrible tattoos on my body, and the people who once gave my lives to save me have forgotten their gratitude to me, and have inflicted countless curses and insults on me. ”
The great priest who watched this scene in the attic in the distance blushed with anger and trembled all over.
"Lord David! You...... Go stop this crazy woman! ”
David smiled slightly and nodded, "Lord Daryl, don't be impatient, someone will shut her up soon." ”
Although he said so, he hinted with his eyes that the escort who was about to come forward to attack Walter, and the two people were hinted at and took half of their feet back, but they didn't stop Walter's actions!
In the center of the execution ground, Walter smiled bitterly, straightened his scarred body, looked ahead and slowly spoke: "But I don't hate you, you are just blinded by the so-called gods, and covered by rumors, even if I die here today, I will never resent you, because I am a knight!" Even if I die in the name of evil, the honor will not fade, and the flame of conscience will always burn in my breast until the moment I sleep! ”
Looking at the stunned people below, Walter took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "I have never hurt my people, let alone betrayed my faith!" ”
After saying this, the escort who was again hinted at pushed Walter hard, and Walter stepped on the ladder step by step to the guillotine, and the executioner standing by the guillotine kicked her in the knee socket, forcing her to kneel, and grabbed her hair with his right hand, and pressed her head roughly under the blade: "Be honest, heretic! ”
Under the sun, the blade of the guillotine reflecting the sunlight could not be seen directly, and the sharpness seemed to tell everyone that no matter how strong the neck was, it could not resist its slash.
Although she had come to the end and was mentally prepared, for some reason, Walter still felt that something was missing, and she squinted at the audience below, desperately looking for the familiar figure.
At that moment, she finally knew the answer, why did she survive like that.
It turned out that it was just to see him one last time. That person was hoping that if it was him, he would be able to save the Terrans, and she had something she wanted to say to him, but now she had no chance.
There was a soft sound of untying the ropes, and Walter closed his eyes.
In a shadowy corner of the execution ground, a man in a cloak slowly wiped the long sword in his hand, and beside him stood a woman in a black cloak, a strand of red hair leaking out of the cloak, boring manicure, her fingers like jade onions flexibly stretched, very pleasing to the eye.
"Are you sure you want to rob the execution ground? I saw David just now, one of the seven gods of the king is here, you still have to rob it? ”
"That's nature." The boy replied, his tone was unusual, as if the other party was asking the question of whether you were going to eat.
Hearing this, the woman sighed helplessly and compromised.
"You're really a disaster, it's troublesome enough to accompany you out of the Holy Land, and now you have to let me deal with the beast David, if it weren't for the Fallen God Contract, I wouldn't have left you alone." Saying this kind of thing means that Claudia has compromised, she thought for a while, and added: "Let's say it first, it's daytime, I won't fight David, even if it's night, I can't beat him, David, you have to do it yourself, I'll help you contain the others at most." ”
Under the cloak, the corners of Felik's mouth rose slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile, he stopped wiping the sword in his hand, and returned the sword to the box behind him, giving Claudia a sure smile.
"It's enough for you to contain it."
