Chapter 161: Helpless
"Eradicate evil, and justice will prevail!"
Some of the professionals who were bent on eradicating evil raised their right fists in response to the Silver Shield Grand Duke. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hehe, hopefully they'll be like this when they meet those killers."
The other part of the mercenaries smiled coldly, they would not be stupid to sacrifice themselves for any profession or faith, these people were just attracted by the rich remuneration and titles, if they didn't even have their lives in the attack, then how could they enjoy the glory and wealth afterwards?
"Let's go!"
One of the strongest paladins shouted, leading the team out of the town hall slowly.
Soon they were making their way through the bustling Upper Town to the location of a small, chaotic and muddy port in the docklands.
Filled with the poor, scoundrels, thieves and some wanted criminals, it is a haven of sin and chaos, and in those dark alleys, several murders happen almost every day.
And since the series of skinning incidents, the environment here has become even more unbearable, there are not many patrol guards who are more reluctant to come here on duty, some gang forces have taken advantage of the chaos to start making waves, smuggling, human trafficking, robbery, fighting for territory, they have lost their sole control and become even worse, now this place is desolate, if it used to be just a slum where the poor gathered, then now this place is as dead as a cemetery, It's hard to accept that this is a historic city, a corner of Baldur's Gate.
"Goo-dong!"
There was a strange noise from the side, and the small group of elite professionals immediately pointed their weapons in that direction, only to find that it was just a weathered door panel falling off......
Along the wooden door, several people could see the scene inside the small dilapidated house.
Two naked women lay on top of each other, one of them was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and looked still charming, and the other was very young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and was obviously a young and romantic girl.
Several of the professionals present did not go up, because they did not feel any breath of life from this pair of "mother and daughter", but there was a faint smell wafting from the room, and they had been dead for a few days.
The furnishings in the house were crooked, there were dried blood and water stains on the floor, and anyone in their right mind knew what happened to the mother and how they died.
Seeing this scene, the holy warrior could only silently bow his head, and then silently walked towards the front.
According to the old rules, the priests who saw the tragic death of the people should collect each other's bodies and bury them, and then the priest would recite a prayer to bless the dead, and finally the holy warriors would make an oath to seek justice for those who had died.
It's just that they just walked here from the upper part of Baldur's Gate, only a few dozen kilometers away, but they have seen countless similar tragedies.
If each of them had to be buried in the ground, then these priests would have to dig at least a large burial pit of a thousand people, and if everyone had to pray, then these priests would have to exhaust their divine slots for at least a week, and if each of them had to take revenge, then these paladins would have to kill at least nearly half of the dock area.
Powerlessness, a deep sense of powerlessness appeared in their hearts......
They clergymen couldn't change anything, even if he was a legendary professional, he couldn't save so many sunken souls and purify so many filthy evils.
However, the only good news is that these priests are some well-tested high-level professionals, they have experienced too many things, and their beliefs in their hearts have long been ingrained and will not be easily affected by external things, otherwise if some young paladins with little qualifications experience all this, maybe they will fall into one of the dark guards because of the great contrast between the facts and the good expectations in their hearts......
"Let's hurry up, all this is the result of killing the church, as long as we can exterminate the evil leader, it is equivalent to avenging these innocent and tragic poor people, and at the same time, we can prevent such a tragedy from happening again!"
The leading legendary paladin spoke, he saw the look of loss, helplessness or anger in the eyes of his subordinates, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and immediately comforted his subordinates, telling them to calm down and not do anything impulsive.
He knew very well that this operation was very dangerous, against an organization that had a terrifying history but could not be hidden for hundreds of years, even if these people were all carefully selected elites, it was still a journey of nine deaths and a lifetime, if these people could still keep a cool head, if they were provoked by these scenes in front of them and did something impulsive and irrational, it would really be ten deaths.
"Don't worry, Lord Reesel, we all know we should do it."
Those clergy nodded, they could tell the importance of the matter, and naturally they would not delay the whole matter because of these trivial matters.
"yes, then it's time for you to behave, they're coming."
Just as the paladin Resel nodded and was about to say something more, a young mercenary with black hair and black eyes suddenly interjected a sentence.
"Who did you say was coming, friend?"
Even though the priests were upset that their conversation was interrupted, they were all highly educated, and one of the paladins asked each other with a smile.
"Rub!"
With a crisp sound, the young mercenary with black hair and black eyes suddenly burst out!
His speed was so fast that the inquiring paladin only had time to see a long sword as bright as autumn water unsheathed and stabbed towards his neck, unable to move, not even to scream.
It's not that he doesn't want to dodge, it's just that the mercenary's sword speed is too fast, his consciousness has just told him that the other party has made a move, and the reflex arc has not yet been transmitted to the body, but the blade of the sword has already pointed to his neck.
"Poof!"
Dark red blood splattered out and spilled over the paladin's entire shoulder.
However, the paladin did not feel the slightest pain, and he trembled and shifted his gaze to the sword, which actually stabbed backwards against his shoulder by a fraction of a second, piercing an unknown being......
"Enemy attack!"
Raythel was the first to react, he roared angrily, and instantly swung his sword and slashed at the "air" next to him, and another blood splash appeared, and a half-cut body in a black robe appeared on the ground so suddenly...... (To be continued.) )
