Graham hunched over and hated to stand with his head on the ground, and the freedom movement against tyranny not only failed to liberate his mind, but instead led him deeper and deeper into another kind of slavery, he would have hated to lie on the ground and kiss Shepard's shoes if it weren't for the kingdom's rule that one knee should only be done on certain special occasions and ceremonies.

"Great and glorious Your Majesty, humble Graeme is as small as dust in front of you, bringing you the yearning and reverence of the [Beacon of Freedom] shrouded in the glory of the true God!"

The corners of Shepard's mouth twitched, Gramm's behavior reminded him of Tommar, the doppelganger in the Old World, but Tommar's groveling had obvious trepidation and disguise, and Gramm's behavior was extremely contrived and sincere.

The sincere flattery made Shepard want to kick him out, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had done something to Lucian in the rebels after he left Maclay.

Watching Gramm's performance casually, the sound of cold breaking through the air sounded, and a strong wind had already hit the side of Shepard's head, and a loud roar followed.

"This is Maclay!"

At the last moment, the benefits of the doppelganger's experience outside were fully revealed, and the identity of the true god body was removed, and Shepard was also a real dual-class powerhouse with an almost full level, and with a light stomp on his feet, he moved a few feet away, just facing the direction of the sneak attacker.

One of the four emissaries of the human vassal race, at this time, his muscles swelled, and out of nowhere pulled out a sharp long-bladed machete in his hand, and roared to slash at Shepard, looking at his strong muscles that pierced the camouflage clothes on his body, Shepard suspected that he had clamped the sharp weapon between his back muscles in order to avoid the search of the temple guards and the cathar knights.

However, at this time, there was no time to probe the reason, and this change was sudden, this was obviously the Makere assassin's guy, although he only had intermediate strength, but his speed was extremely fast, and in a breath, he rushed into half the distance of rushing towards Shepard.

Not to mention that the strong minotaur couldn't react, and the agile and weird tigers didn't have time to stop the killer, and for a while, Shepard was the only one by his side, Nashuris.

At the critical moment, Nashuiris resolutely stood in front of Shepard to meet the assassin, and shouted without hesitation: "Your Majesty, go away!" ”

"Lackeys of the false gods, go to death!" As the envoys saluted, Shepard noticed that two of them were acting differently, one of them was indeed an Assassin of the Markrays, and the other saw that everyone was attracted by the first assassin, and with a loud roar, he took out a delicate crossbow from his bosom, and saw that the style was actually the style of the Old World, and he was about to pull the trigger when he aimed at Shepard.

The change was only in the blink of an eye, and at the critical moment, Grim, who was as humble as a lackey, had a changing complexion, but he only held his head and shrank on the ground, and the others could not reach it, watching the crossbow in his hand about to fire deadly bolts.

"Humph!" Shepard's face was as cold as water, and he immediately snorted coldly.

The invisible shock shook the entire meeting room, and even standing outside the temple, you could see the main temple, which was as strong as a fortress, suddenly shaking a little!

With such power, how can the people in front of Shepard resist, Thom can barely stand firm with his strong strength, and among the three tiger men, only Walter has strong mental strength and stabilizes his body, although blood flows from his nose, he does not fall in the shaking of the room.

The rest of the people, whether they were assassins or others, were all unable to stand on their feet in the shaking, and Shepard's cold snort used his incomparably powerful spiritual power and a divine power, and the indiscriminate attack made everyone's faces as white as paper in an instant, and a weak person like Graham was bleeding from seven holes, and he fell to the ground and did not know whether he was dead or dead.

Although the first assassin was physically strong, his mental strength was not very good, and he fell to the ground with a scream, his body spasmed and could not stand up, and the second assassin had a weak hand, and his crossbow fell to the ground, and when he tried to pick it up again, he found that his hands were twitching and he could not use his strength at all.

The change has already alarmed the guardian knights who are guarding outside, and the Pope is always accompanied by five knights, three men and two women, to protect, but Shepard made them wait outside because of their confidence in their own strength, at this time the five people rushed in, and they were really angry and almost burned their eyes, and they knocked down all the humans without saying a word, and retreated to Shepard's side with the minotaur and the tiger man, and the leading knight took out a whistle and was about to blow immediately.

"Okay, there's no need to blow the whistle, who is the captain of the temple garrison today?" Shepard stopped the knight and asked lightly.

The leading knight bowed his head in shame and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, it's Captain Hawkwood." ”

"Let Hawkwood go to the knightly penance, and when he proves his piety and repentance, my lord will guide him back." Shepard indifferently ordered.

Hearing this, the knight's body trembled slightly, and immediately it should be that knight penance is to hunt those rare and powerful beasts in the wilderness alone with only basic diet and armor, in order to seek a breakthrough or temper his will, except for a very small number of church knights will choose, most of them are carried out as a severe punishment.

With a nod, Shepardle let the others go, and nodded to the two assassins: "Remove their limbs, knock out all their teeth, don't get killed, and leave them to Bishop Veronev and let his subordinate Ebs take care of it." ”

The knights took the order, and one carried out the two Assassins, who were paralyzed, and the remaining four were scattered around the Pope on guard, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"Two wastes, who also want to assassinate me, I punish Hawkwood not for assassination, but for his dereliction of duty! Hand crossbows can be brought in, how does this garrison captain do it? ”

Shepard said lightly, and several people in front of him looked at him with a sneer, especially the respect of the tigers became more sincere, and a cold snort could make them almost lose the ability to resist, such a level of suppression was unimaginable to them.

Shepard was still very satisfied with this effect, although the episode was unpleasant, but it also made the others more afraid of the strength of the supreme ruler of the kingdom, so he seemed a little unconcerned: "Don't let what happened just now affect us, the conspiracy of the Makere people is really shameful, I don't want to know where those two people came from, you send a message back to this matter, and you will handle it." ”

The implication is that these messengers are not stupid, they can naturally understand, and seeing that they are all obediently nodding in response, Shepard said happily: "Very good, now let's get down to business, what do you want to follow the messenger to the church city to ask for me?" ”

The others except the Minotaur looked at each other, not knowing whether to speak or not, and Tom and the others stood there silently, obviously not in a hurry to speak.

Shepard smiled faintly, without the slightest anxiety waiting for everyone, after a while, it was Graham who stepped forward first, and said with a flattering smile: "Great and honorable Your Majesty, I bring Commander Lucien to pay tribute to you, Commander Lucian wants you to know that the [Beacon of Freedom] will always be a loyal and brave force under the light of our Lord." ”

"Lucien is doing well, as long as you remember that the pious believers are standing, there is no shadow under the glory of our Lord, so that Lucian will remember where his current position comes from, and what the rest of you want, the kingdom and the church will not interfere." Shepard really didn't care much about the strength of the more than 10,000 slave rebels, he only cared about the power of faith provided by these people, after all, most of the civilization stage of the Makere Kingdom was still in a slave society, and some methods were childish and ridiculous.

Graham couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, obviously Lucian's actions The kingdom and the church are too lazy to intervene, his life in the [Beacon of Freedom] is not easy now, and there are a lot of rising stars promoted by Lucian, so he took the initiative to come to the identity of the envoy this time, both forced and to fight for opportunities, and now that he has received the promise of His Majesty the Pope, he can go back to the mission with peace of mind.

Graham retreated, and the other two human envoys glanced at each other and stepped forward to salute Shepard together, but what they said was nothing more than some unnutritious requests, and the matter of wanting the kingdom to increase supplies was over, and the request of the kingdom task force led by Freman to join the war was flatly rejected by Shepard.

"You should have heard my promise to the Beacon of Freedom, and the same is true for both of you, the team led by the Quasi-Knights of Freeman is only to protect the delivery of supplies, and to record and confirm the strength of the Makere as observers, and the elves who follow them are no different."

After Shepard finished speaking, seeing that the two messengers were a little frustrated, he said casually: "But if you want, you can also hand over your excellent warriors to Freeman and them to be in charge of training, and I will send an order to Freeman's quasi-knights, telling him to train these people wholeheartedly, and when the training is completed, you can have a group of more excellent and powerful warriors." ”

The two envoys were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately agreed, Shepard smiled happily on the surface, but sighed inwardly: the leaders of these two vassal races seemed to be less visionary than Lucian, because he had made such a promise to Lucian, but Lucian politely refused, and only symbolically sent a group of people to Freeman and the others.

So it is not surprising why the four human vassal races in Cantaico City were suppressed by the two alien races, and Shepard could not deny letting this matter go, and turned to the tiger man and the minotaur.

Before the minotaur spoke, the three tiger men had already reached an agreement, and Walter said earnestly as a representative: "Your Majesty! Can the 'Sand Tribes' move into the kingdom and the Church's territory and become your people? ”

Shepard looked at them in surprise, "You're moving into the kingdom?" ”

Walter nodded seriously and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, although the invaders from other continents have not officially attacked the Macray Kingdom, but there have been dozens of small battles, those greedy hyenas have taken a fancy to the unique fur of the tiger people, and wantonly hunted our people, but our tribe is located in the north of Cantaico City, once the war officially starts, we can't avoid it at all." ”

Luo Mengge's gloomy face also had other expressions, and he said bitterly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the entire tribe is only more than a thousand people, and now it has lost dozens of people, if we can't seek the acceptance of the kingdom and the church, the day of our destruction is not far off......"

Shepard frowned and pondered, suddenly remembering that the tiger people in the old continent were indeed a rare race, and the adventurers in the expeditionary force were a little bold, and it was not impossible to peel off the skins of the tiger people as magical beasts or rare beast fur and sell them back to the old continent.

The Tiger Man's request was nothing, and Shepard said with a slight groan: "If you want to be a citizen of the kingdom, this is naturally possible, but if you want to join the kingdom, you must obey the leadership of the church and bear the obligations of being a citizen of the kingdom. ”

The tigers accepted this request without hesitation, after all, it was reasonable, and the situation they faced was indeed dangerous, and the more it dragged on, the more adventurers targeted them.

Seeing that they responded, Shepard smiled again: "Since you agree to this request, the gate of the kingdom will be opened for you at any time, but after all, you are different from human living habits, so I allow you to still organize as a tribe, most of the kingdom is in the forest, presumably you are not used to it, when you move into the kingdom, go to the border between the northern wilderness and the forest, I will let the city hall of Yanan City cooperate with you, and when the time comes, I can also divide the manpower to establish a new settlement for you." ”

Seeing that the three tigermen were happy and a little hesitant, he added: "Don't worry, the Ruth tribe is in the north of the kingdom, their strength is far stronger than the Tatos tribe, and with the support of the kingdom, they will not be defeated easily, and they will definitely not let you have the current situation, once the war is unfavorable, I will also allow you to move into the hinterland of the kingdom, so you should rest assured, right?" ”

Monlore's fur was pale red, and his temperament was as straightforward as fire, but he was the first to bow and thank Shepard: "Your Majesty, the 'Sand Tribe' will thank you for your kindness and grace, and we will be your loyal and brave people!" ”

"It is all by the grace of my Lord, and I am glad that you are willing to join the Kingdom to protect and bring glory to my Lord." Shepard smiled and accepted the Tigerman's thanks, and the Minotaurs finally spoke.

"Your Majesty......" Thom knelt on one knee, serious and a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I once asked the chiefs and elders to join the kingdom, but they didn't accept it......" Kroon followed him to his knees, looking ashamed.

"It's okay," Shepard looked at the self-elevated paladin, and his attitude was very kind, "After all, your people don't all believe in my lord, then their decisions have their own ideas, and those who don't believe in my lord are all lost travelers, but they should not be considered to be at fault because of this, because they are just ignorant of our lord's power." ”
