"You've made the right choice, knight! Maybe my words are a little difficult for you to accept and believe now, but the truth is that your Pope and your Emperor cannot defeat us, and they have no chance of being and in the future! ”

Leo, who was under the personal protection of Feinkes, sat high on the unicorn's back, bowed his head slightly, looked at the person in front of him with the eyes unique to superiors and victors, and said slowly

In front of his horse, the surrendered knights knelt together, and the squadron leader of the Templar Order was unarmed and knelt on one knee, his head hanging so that Leo could not see his expression clearly, of course he didn't care about this, the loser may be able to get mercy at some point, but definitely not now

The battlefield not far away, the short and not at all fierce battle is over at this moment, or after these knights have made a decision, those ordinary soldiers have completely lost all hope, and some people have begun to surrender on their knees, but after being mercilessly decapitated, the only thing everyone can do is to run away desperately, to bet on who is more favored by the god of luck......

After clearing the last trace of resistance, the Knights of Punishment and the Knights of the Dawn, who were completely uninterested in other aspects, escorted the knights who surrendered back to Leo early, except for the squadron leader who replied to Leo, the other knights collected their weapons according to tradition, and temporarily allowed them to retain their armor and leave the last vestiges of dignity

The nobles' private army, with the tacit approval of Leo and their lords, collected knick-knacks as souvenirs while examining corpses on the battlefield

After waiting for a while, seeing that the knight kneeling in front of him still did not speak, Leo, who was slightly dissatisfied, frowned and spoke

"Tell your name knight, you shouldn't have forgotten this most basic etiquette for those in charge! Also, don't think about useless things, since you killed those companions who don't want to be with you just now, you have lost all opportunities to turn back, don't anger me, or ......"

Shivering with coldness, the dried blood on his hands and Leo's aggravated tone reminded the squadron leader, and he found with some bitterness that it was really like what Leo said, the remaining 80 people had no choice, even if they could leave here alive, there would be no place for them in the entire continent

People who have experienced a test of life and death will feel the preciousness of life even more, in other words, this kind of person is more afraid of death, the kind of emotion that can touch the fear of death, and no one wants to experience it again

Feeling the impatience in Leo's words, without hesitation and reserve, the squadron leader hurriedly raised his head, clasped his chest with one hand and saluted with the most solemn knightly etiquette before speaking hurriedly

"Sorry...... Temple...... Your Highness! Your humble servant is here to pay you the highest respect, I am Sidney, Sidney Abbott, a former Templar, now your prisoner of war and most loyal admirer, glory to your esteemed Highness! ”

Glancing at it secretly, seeing that there was no uncertainty on Leo's face, Sidney boldly continued

"A long time ago, my companions and I were deceived by the Church due to our own stupidity, and at the same time we committed sins and lost our original character as a knight, but fortunately you appeared, through one great victory after another, we completely saw through the ugly truth of the Church's deception of the world, and let Nathaniel, the hypocrite, get the punishment he deserved, and it is in this way that we sincerely want to be under your command, and become a sharp blade in your hands with your permission, and ...... for you"

With a slight wave of his hand, preventing the other party from becoming more and more fluently praised, Leo looked at the impassioned knight in front of him and shook his head

"Sidney, is it? Here's one thing I need you and others to keep in mind! ”

Slowly holding out a finger, Leo looked around at the other surrender knights with different expressions around him

"Aside from everything you're used to, I'm not Nathaniel or Rolf, here, I don't need your flattery and sycophancy, in my opinion, no matter how much you say, it's better to actually do a good job, so take it back, your current face annoys me a little, maybe I should reconsider my previous decision?"

"Nope! Your Highness, I'm sorry......"

Seeing that the punishment knights who surrounded them all subconsciously touched the hilt of their swords after Leo's words came out, Sidney hurriedly shouted, he who can make this kind of decision in order to save his life and even abandon his faith, he is also a decisive person in character, in just a few words, he has understood the preferences of the new master in the future, and after apologizing, he bowed his head deeply again, and even the pretentiousness and flattery on his face were cleaned up

"Excellent! You are a smart person, and generally smart people live a long life, but I still can't trust you, so I decided to hand you over to one of my subordinates to admonish and manage, of course, most of you should be very familiar with this person, and this is also conducive to your reform, isn't it! ”

With that, Leo beckoned to Kane behind him, and nodded in the shocked and inexplicable gaze of the other party, especially more than half of the Templars

"Kane Hugh Lancelot, my friend, my most loyal subordinate, the only cardinal of the Holy Light Sect at present, the host of the most glorious Holy Light Cathedral on the continent, he will lead you for the time being, until he feels that you have completely come to your senses, maybe I can give you the opportunity to join the Duchy and truly become my subordinates!"

After elegantly greeting Leo's forehead, Kane, who had changed into a robe again, jumped off the horse's back and took a few steps forward, reaching out to gently caress the top of Sidney's head, perhaps feeling the other party's uncontrollable trembling, he sighed and said comfortingly

"My friend, we have all been deceived and deceived by the hypocritical Church, among which I am fortunate that I met His Highness a long time ago and was redeemed spiritually, and you, the lost lambs, will gradually open your eyes to see the real world under the guidance of my forerunner, and under the leadership of Your Highness, the Holy Light will eventually break through the darkness and dispel the fog......"

Looking at Kane, who is becoming more and more like a god stick with a great confusion, Leo shook his head helplessly, he didn't know if the establishment of the Holy Light Cult had released a demon, putting aside these things that were still a long time away, he whispered a few words to Keith, the latter nodded, and quickly ordered the Knights to divide some of their men, and they will temporarily assist Kane in taking care of these knights until the Knights of Dawn take over

"In essence, they are all good highnesses, and they should be stronger than those of the Knights of the Dawn, and after a while, I think your Knights of the Dawn will become even stronger!"

"Thank you Al, I really don't know how to accomplish many things without your help, from the current point of view, although the sacrifices we have made are still great, but I have a hunch that victory and dawn are getting closer and closer to us, I don't know what kind of choice those nobles will make if Rolf and the Pope continue to lose one after another."

The burning Ash Castle in front of him was like a huge torch, and under the background of the fire that went straight to the sky, Leo looked at the aristocratic private army that had already finished lining up and walked under the leadership of the officer, and couldn't help but sigh a few words

"They will make the right choice, Your Highness! But we should leave now, your nobles and other soldiers are still anxiously waiting for your news, this half year of war is only the beginning, and when they enter our land, more enemies under your leadership will pay the price for their master's foolish aggression."

Glancing at Al, Leo shook his head and smiled heartily, and the next bridle rode away to the cheerful chirping of the unicorn "Sigh Rhythm", and only the pleasant words left in the air reached everyone's minds

"Yes, you're right, this is just the beginning......"
