271 The Crisis of the Holy Warriors

The paladins retreated singing songs of righteous triumph, and as they left, they set fire to the mines, slave camps, and other ancillary facilities, and the Holy Light Fortress was on fire.

The light of the fire made the prince's face light and dark, and he felt that his internal organs were about to be hollowed out.

"Truk, it's too unsafe to stay here any longer, what if Prell takes the opportunity to call?"

Once the prince's mind was activated, it was quite flexible: "I want to go back to the capital!

"Absolutely not!"

Truk said coldly: "You run away, will the attendants, deacons, and mercenaries below you stay? These people have all run away, who will guarantee the supplies of my men? I am not a magician, I can't rub bread and water!"

"If you dare to go, the Holy Light Castle will be completely finished, and your right to explore the Divine Fall Plateau will be gone! But I promise you, as much blood I bleed, you'll lose a double portion!

Truk's intimidation carried a lot of weight, and the prince shuddered and did not mention anything about it again.

He said carelessly: "But the mine is gone, if you don't do something, you can't explain to Erxiang, right?"

Truk thought for a moment, and said with a fly-eating expression: "All the things that the holy knights did just now have been filmed, right? Add some details, make a mirage, and spread it throughout the Divine Fall Plateau, no, the whole Finn! Let everyone see the ugly faces of the holy warriors clearly, they even kill women and children!"

The prince was stunned: "By exposing the sins of the holy warriors to prevaricate to Erxiang, you have actually fallen to such a point?"

"At least buy some time, at most ten days, one of my brigades will be able to reach the Holy Light Castle. ”

Truk's eyes flashed fiercely: "These forces are not enough to eliminate Prell, but it is more than enough to eliminate Cheyendia." ”

The prince shuddered: "That Cheyenne is a legend, didn't you just say don't provoke him?"

"I'm only talking about temporary!"

Truk sneered: "As long as we are well prepared, we can still cope with a legend." Don't forget, what happened to Federico from the fragments of the corpses we mined. ”

"This ......," the prince rolled his eyes and nodded, "yes, all my attendants have it." ”

He was still a little frightened: "Are you really going to go to war with Shaandia?"

"Cheyendia, Prell, we, these three forces on the Godfall Plateau", Truk patiently explained: "Before you provoked Chaandia to find trouble with Prell, and now these holy warriors must have been bewitched by Prell, and Cheyendia has become an unstable variable." ”

"Can we win over Cheandia to stand with us? Obviously not, can Prell get ChaandΓ­a? Possibly!"

Truk looked directly at the prince: "We don't have the power to destroy Prell in one breath now, so what do you say we should do?"

The prince nodded in agreement: "Of course, it is to destroy Xia Andia before she throws herself at Prell!"

On the podium of the castle, two halflings muttered under their breath.

"Frodo, their relationship with the paladin is not the same as before, I don't know what happened. ”

"Our relationship with the Holy Warriors is not the same!"

Peake said, "Gomis, didn't you say that you would stay with that old fellow Vic for a few days, and then take the opportunity to steal his sword and leave? ”

"There's nothing wrong with taking refuge in the prince, you see that the prince is so unlucky now, it's time to use people", Gomis's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light: "Sir Vic said, when the next batch of mercenaries arrives, the halflings inside will be under our control, and we can also be captains!"

He smacked his lips: "There are female halflings in there, I really can't wait to touch the girls' hairy insteps." ”

Peake was a little angry: "Don't you just ignore Flodo and them?"

Gomis scratched his ears: "Well, I'll talk to Sir Vic about the opportunity, and let you go out to scout the situation and contact them while I have the opportunity." ”

Peake disdainfully: "What about you? You're just thinking about the knighthood that Old Vic promised, right?"

"You also saw just now, is the Paladin's place to go? Cheyenne may be a good man, but his men are all crazy!"

Gomis said bitterly: "They even killed civilians just now, that Falina, how beautiful, we were still laughing at us yesterday, what did she do?

The halfling shook his head deeply: "If the holy warrior wants to give me a shot to detect evil, I will definitely have a red light on my body, and I don't want to go back to Xia Andia to die." ”

Pique also sighed: "Flodo must still be thinking about Gronia and Mayne, we have done everything we need to do." ”

"Halfling!"

One man shouted at them, it was Old Vic's deputy, the paladin Dakai: "Take the camera down and shoot the corpses of those people, and if there are still alive, let them talk, let them tell who did it." ”

Pique and Gomis looked at each other and obediently complied.

..................

Cheyendia, in the mine deep in the basin, Cheyenne wields a hoe and pickaxe, clanging mining, stopping from time to time to wipe his sweat.

He had been digging in the mine for a whole day, and he hadn't used his powers, and even then, he had dug up a piece of ore with a hoe, and it was about the same size. Several baskets behind him were already filled with ore, and the minecarts outside the mine cave were also full of several carts of ore.

"Mentor!"

Nicole entered the mine and said with a face full of reluctance: "This is a special situation for you, you should be able to use your divine power." ”

"Mining is the practice of sharpening the flesh and purifying the mind. It was my rule that the Holy Warrior couldn't use his divine power in mining, so of course I had to do it," Cheyenne said, shoveling the ore into the basket. Several baskets were dragged along with their harnesses to the minecart and the ore was dumped into it.

He casually asked, "Banner, they're back?"

"Yes, my sister quarreled with him", Nicole lowered her head, "I heard from the people who followed Banner that they burned down the Holy Light Castle and killed a lot of civilians......"

Cheyenne snorted and changed the subject: "Nicole, you take the caravan to Beta City to meet Duke Prell." ”

"Huh?"

The purple-haired girl with a slanted ponytail was both surprised and angry: "What are you doing when you see him? He is the murderer of Jenny!"

"What are you doing, pay off your debts with ore", Cheyenne patted the minecart: "By the way, talk to him about business, Nicole......"

He waved his hand to stop the girl's next words: "Banner's affairs, I will deal with it, you just concentrate on your own business." ”

Nicole's eyes welled up with tears: "I'...... Okay, I will definitely do a good job and not let the tutor down!"

Back in the big log cabin in the center of the basin, I heard the two groups of people arguing in the distance.

"In short, the reputation that the Mentor has just built up for our Cheyendia Holy Warrior in Beta City has been ruined by you!"

Nama's voice was extremely painful: "Banner, do you really know what you did!?"

Banner's voice was calm and firm, unshakable as a rock: "We made a judgment on the spot, and we also used to detect evil, I have not violated the law of justice, I have a clear conscience! As long as it is evil, it must be eradicated!"

"Then why don't you die there!?"

Nama's voice became high-pitched: "Isn't the real evil the prince, isn't it the paladins of the divine court?why don't you storm the castle and kill them?

"Nama, at this time, you are concerned about civilians?"

Banner sneered: "The holy warrior is not a madman, when the evil is too strong, we must be good at preserving our strength, looking for opportunities, and preparing for the subsequent righteous judgment." Have you forgotten all the creeds in the canon?"

"Enough ......"

Cheyenne's voice rang out, and the paladins shut up.

The legendary paladin stepped into the cabin, initially a little rickety, then erect again.

"I know everything, Banner ......"

He said a little tiredly, "Do you know what you did wrong?"

Banner was stunned for a moment, and then said unwillingly: "I don't know, mentor ......"

"Since you understand that the Holy Warriors must preserve their strength when evil is too powerful, why do you attack the Holy Light Castle and make Xia Andia the target of the enemy's revenge!?"

Cheyenne said coldly: "Nama is right, if you can break through the castle and adjudicate justice to the prince and the paladins of the divine court, you are not wrong. But not only did you fail to destroy the enemy, but you also created a crisis for Cheyendia. If justice is practiced in this way, can the holy warriors still be passed down to the present?"

"Also, Xia Andia is a collective, you are not a wandering paladin! The action against the Holy Light Castle has affected everyone in Xia Andia, and you actually acted without consulting everyone!"

Banner lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "I see, Mentor, I was indeed wrong. ”

He took a deep breath and held his head high: "I am responsible for all the consequences!"

The dozens of holy warriors behind him also said in unison: "And us!"

"Take care of yourself!?"

Nama said angrily, "Even if you give all of your heads to the prince, he will spare Cheyendia!?You can afford to go to war with the Holy Light Castle, with the Koster Kingdom, and even with the Loyal Divine Court!?"

Banner said awe-inspiringly: "We came to Cheyendia, although we are far away from the whirlpool of Finn, but if we even ignore the evil on the Godfall Plateau, then are we still called Holy Warriors?"

Nama laughed, "Killing civilians is also worthy of being called a paladin!?Jenny has already paid with his life for this, and you ......"

"Nama!

Cheyenne stopped another round of arguments that were about to erupt, and the obvious anger in his tone was the first time the holy warriors felt it, and they all subconsciously shut up and bowed their heads.

After being silent for a while, Cheyenne said in a deep voice: "I know that you always believe that you have justice. The determination to give everything for it, it's worth sticking to. But the gaze of everything measured by this is arrogant. I don't think that justice, as I understand it, can measure everything in the world, so why do you think you have become one with justice?"

"But ......"

"I think ......"

Banner and Nama wanted to say something in unison, but Cheyenne snapped off, "If you really believe that your path is right, then hold the scale of Tyr and make a vow!"

He glanced at all the holy warriors present: "Everyone, facing the scale of Tyr, verifying what they understand, the justice they insist on, must be the ultimate justice, and it must not be shaken!"

The paladin's breathing became heavy, and they looked at each other secretly, even Banner and Nama did not say a word.

Not every paladin has a blood feud like Princess Gronia and has a clear path to justice. I believe that my justice will not change half a point in the future, and no one has that kind of confidence.

The most important thing is that the scale of Tyre is like the final judgment, and no one is willing and dares to face such a judgment when it is not necessary.

Cheyenne asked, "Is there no one?"

There is still no one......

There was silence in the wooden hall for a long time, and Cheyenne softened his tone: "From today on, Banner, and all those who go to the Holy Light Castle, go to the mine to practice for three months!

Banner and the others had their cheeks twisted, but they didn't defend after all.

Nama said worriedly, "...... over there in the Holy Light Castle"

"I'll fix it!"

Cheyenne took the responsibility and said to Nama, "Don't forget, we have another war. Nama, I'll leave it to you, you've gone through that public trial, and you have enough insight to know how to do it. ”

Nama nodded solemnly, "I understand, mentor. ”

Banner looked at Nama, and Nama looked back, and the two of them did not flinch from each other.
