The dragon roared, and the momentum came from the pavement like a mountain, even the paladins had never encountered monsters of this level, in the previous monster conquest battles, most of them were completed by an army composed of paladins, although the combat power of the paladins alone was outstanding, but compared to the powerful monsters, it was still not enough.

Dealing with this kind of flying monster, and it is the most powerful dragon among them, with a cold weapon and a flesh and blood body, it is simply an egg to hit a stone.

At least a large net made of chains is needed to limit the opponent's speed, and a few siege crossbows are needed to have the possibility of piercing through the layers of scales on its body.

The war hammer in his hand was like a toothpick compared to the huge demon dragon.

And the most terrible thing is that with the roar of the demon dragon, the dragons below also noticed the existence of the paladin, and in an instant, the dragons in the plain boiled, and the sound of the impact of the armor and the sound of the claw blade grabbing the ground and running quickly sounded.

Dragons poured in.

The paladin didn't dare to take his gaze off for even a second, and there was a demon dragon in front of him staring at him.

"Sam...... Kurasato ...... "The man on the back of the demon dragon spoke, speaking in a language that the paladin couldn't understand, but it was not difficult to tell from the other party's movements and tone.

This phrase should mean "death".

The paladin adjusted his breathing, looked at the demon dragon close at hand, roared and raised his war hammer and smashed it.

......

Xi Lan stood alone on the walls of Iron Rock City, looking at the mountains in the distance, even though the cold wind was howling, he still had no intention of leaving.

It's late at night.

"My lord, what are you thinking?" An officer under the command of the Judgment Temple walked over, today he was in charge of guarding the head of the city, seeing Xi Lan standing there alone and silent, the officer felt a little puzzled: "The temperature is very low at night, you better go back early and rest." ”

Xi Lan didn't answer his question, but sighed and asked, "It's hard to guard the city wall, isn't it?"

"It's a lie to say that it's not hard, Iron Rock City is like this ice and snow all year round, and the supplies are poor, if it weren't for staring at the monsters in the Shadow Mountains, no one would want to stay here. The officer smiled and said, "As we all know, the soldiers guarding Iron Rock City have the highest mortality rate. ”

Rather than being angry at the officer's complaint, and scolding him for his lack of faith, she bent down to look at the soldiers standing in the cold wind.

"This is the most important line of defense to guard the human world, when the Perus Empire established the Holy See to fight against the demons, our ancestors built Iron Rock City under the leadership of the first pope, and used it as a line of defense, and fought a thousand-year-long war with the demons, I don't know how many priests and soldiers with firm beliefs fell under this wall, every inch of land here was once soaked in the blood of the ancestors and monsters," Xilan spread his hands: " The history of a piece of land, the history of the people above it, the history of Iron Rock City, has been occupied by war and strife since the day it was founded, and our ancestors have fallen here one after another, so that they have fought for this millennium of peace and stability for mankind. ”

"What do you want to say, my lord?" the officer asked, not believing that Xi Lan was just suddenly emotional.

"There's always someone to do these things. Xilan said expressionlessly: "Giving life and faith for the continuation of mankind is the original intention of the Holy See. ”

"But now the temple has changed, it has become decaying. Xilan spoke slowly, and the officer was shocked, what does the archbishop mean by this?

"The temple is full of fools and speculators, and the priests are incompetent and only want to make money out of their own pockets," Xilan grinded his teeth and his face was gloomy: "He keeps prostitutes, trades power for money, and accepts offerings with peace of mind but refuses to give them the hope of his followers." ”

"Such a temple is rotten. ”

Xi Lan's voice was not loud, but to the officer's ears, it was like thunder.

He was dumbfounded, what the archbishop meant by this, although he also knew very well in his heart that the priests had long been corrupted by the extravagance and lasciviousness of life, and that it was not uncommon to take bribes and women from nobles to cover up their sins.

But this phenomenon is so common that even the other two archbishops acquiesce.

"It is true that the nobles can bring enough benefits to the Holy See, but they have forgotten that the Holy See is not a tool for the nobles to wash away their sins, but a judge. Xi Lan's eyes shone brightly in the night: "If the Holy See cannot adjudicate the nobility, then the world will fall into imbalance, and fairness will no longer exist." ”

"The reason why the Holy See can develop rapidly in the mainland is because of the trust of the people, and if it loses the support of the people, the Holy See will lose its foothold. ”

"So, what the temple led by those two fools is doing now is destroying its own foundations, colluding with the nobles, oppressing and exploiting the commoners at the bottom, these bastards, who don't know that happy people are easier to rule than angry people. Xilan gasped and said, "They are overdrawing the life of the Holy See. ”

The officer did not dare to answer Xi Lan's words.

At least at his level, it is not appropriate to express an opinion on such a sensitive issue.

"Phew, I seem to be talking a little too much. Xi Lan also realized that his emotions were a little excited, he calmed down and took a deep breath: "What I said just now, don't spread it to the outside world. ”

In fact, there was no need to remind the officers that the huge amount of information contained in Xilan's words had already shocked the officers.

If this word spreads, it will definitely cause earthquakes throughout the continent.

For the obedience of the soldiers under his command, Xilan is still very confident.

"The paladins haven't returned yet...... "Xilan looked at the dark sky, "it seems that the danger in the Shadow Mountains is far greater than we imagined." ”

......

Swing the hammer, smash!

Lift it up again and keep smashing it!

The paladin repeated the action numbly, his arm already unconscious, and only instinctively continued to attack, his armor torn and scattered to pieces, and his own body was covered in horrific wounds.

Among them, the one on the abdomen is the most severe, and you can even see the intestines wriggling inside the body.

Countless dragonmen surrounded the paladin in the middle, and the huge demon dragon had not attacked again since its first attack, and it stood on the hill next to it, staring at the paladin who refused to fall, with a strange look in its eyes.

Obviously covered with scars, but still choose to continue fighting, such a tenacious human being, this is the first time I have seen it.
