Chapter 20: Battle of the Paladins

"And there are very few paladins, and we robbed one, and we met five!" the mallet screamed.

"Four first-class angels......" Vivien froze.

"Catherine, can you tell me why their guardian angels are all first-class, and ours are second-class?" cried the black cat.

"I ...... It was an accident that I became a guardian angel. Catherine was already panicking.

Shelley froze, she couldn't figure out the situation at all, she could only watch with wide eyes.

"Damn, we've been ambushed! It's been said that the Holy See is unreliable, only fools have always believed in justice!" Andrew cursed hatefully, and began to retreat little by little on his horse.

Everyone present, including soldiers and civilians on both sides, was stunned and opened their mouths wide one by one.

This battle can be described as a wave of excitement for them. The sight of an angel is already a miracle, and there are four angels present now, and one has not appeared. What is to be expected will also appear.

"What's the matter with those three, which side are they?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Of course it's on the Paladin Levy's side. There are only five paladins on the continent, and all of them are here. Paladin Gray has a conflict with the Holy See, this is because the Holy See sent all its own paladins to deal with Paladin Gray......"

"That's the Paladin Gray's finished......"

After a brief moment of stunnedness, the Golden Snake Legion, which had come to its senses, cheered, and the White Fox Legion wailed. As for the civilians, just amazement. After all, it has nothing to do with them.

Jean II's face turned white.

A moment ago, while still on the run, the embarrassed Lu Sien V laughed slowly, and then turned into a burst of wild laughter.

"Well done, well done, well doneβ€”β€”! hahahaha! I knew! I knew it couldn't be unprepared! Ahem! I knew it couldn't be unprepared!"

Camilla, who was on her horse, was already panicking.

Arthur was equally stunned.

"Gray, what's next?"

"I think we're dead! I'm just a ghost who doesn't know the truth, and I hope they'll let me go. ”

"Let me talk to them, I hope it helps......"

The voices of the three external brains intertwined in Gray's mind, but Gray, who was in the center of the vortex, did not speak, and was surprisingly calm.

The attacks of the surrounding soldiers had long since stopped due to the arrival of the other three paladins and the sudden appearance of the angel. Gray stood in the encirclement on horseback and raised his sword aloft in his hand.

"Retreat β€”β€”!"

All of a sudden, the scattered Silver Moon Knights quickly broke away from the battle and began to gather in the direction of the dwarven musketeers. Except for Gray.

Yes, except for Gray himself. Because, between him and the dwarven musketeers, it was Levi, and Julian, who had already appeared. Gray was still under siege.

Shelley, who finally understood what had happened, covered her lips and stared blankly with wide eyes.

In the distance, the three paladins who had come to reinforce Levi had already ridden towards the Golden Serpent Legion, and the angels behind them followed closely.

Everyone was watching, staring at Gray, who was deep in the encirclement, riding a horse, and holding the long sword in his hand. The soldiers around them had already begun to disperse, making way out of the aisle, waiting to see the duel between the paladins and the paladins.

In front of everyone's eyes, a cloud of black gas exploded, and Vivien landed beside Gray with the ball as her weapon, assuming a posture of vigilance.

"Is that girl a magician?" someone asked.

Then, a clump of feathers slowly unfurled, and Catherine appeared on top of Gray's head.

There was another exclamation from the crowd, but compared to the previous one, it was no longer enough to worry about.

"Miss Succubus, I advise you not to act rashly. This is our sacred camp's own business. If you intervene, it will be considered a breach of the agreement. In that case, we will have to take action against you. Levi's voice rang in Vivien's head.

Vivien took a small step back, hesitating.

"Please stop!" Catherine, who was floating in the air, sent her voice directly to the minds of the angels and paladins present, "Are you going to start a civil war for paladins?"

"Who do you think is starting the civil war?" a voice asked rhetorically.

"What we see is Paladin Gray leading the creatures of darkness in an attack on humans. Another voice said.

The voice was calm, without the slightest hint of emotion.

"He attacked out of justice!" Catherine cried out, "Lusen V has broken his promise, and he is obliged to punish those who break it!"

Both voices were silent.

Another voice rang out: "You're right, this matter can be understood in many ways. But we prefer to understand in our own way. What's happening here isn't just the thing. Paladin Gray has seriously endangered the foundation of faith on the continent and endangered the Holy See. We need to put an end to this farce. ”

This is Levi's voice.

"So...... It's just an excuse, right? This matter should be reported to the Holy Spirit!, and the Holy Spirit will decide!" cried Catherine.

"The Holy Spirit will not intervene in the dispute between the Paladin Gray and the Holy See, isn't this what the Paladin Gray himself asked the Holy Spirit?" a voice asked rhetorically.

"You're taking advantage of the contract! You can't β€”β€”! like that."

Catherine was already angry, however, no one listened to them at all. The paladins are still advancing.

"Catherine, stop fighting, there's no need. Gray's voice sounded in Catherine's head, flat: "I never knew that I was a creature of darkness in the covenant of the Holy Spirit......"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Sorry ......"

"It's okay, I know you're doing it for my good. If Gray could laugh, he was probably laughing at this moment, sourly. Lowering his head, he took out the pendant with the inscription "Krimasha" from his armor and placed it on his chest: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will not fall into the darkness." Even if everyone doesn't recognize it, I'm a knight, because I've fulfilled the knightly oath, every single one. I will continue to guard justice and protect what belongs to me. ”

"Gray ......"

Catherine, Vivien, and the Black Cat were silent.

......

"Jones, escort Shelley away, make sure she returns safely to White City. Gray's voice rang in Jones's head.

"Yes!" Jones turned his face to Shelley and said, "I'll escort you out of here with Dora." ”

"Why?" Shelley panicked, tears welled up in her eyes, and she argued, "He's going to lose, is he? No, I can't go! I can't leave him! He's my husband!"

......

"Hammer, Andrew, you can choose whether you want to die here with me or leave. Gray's voice rang in the club's head and Andrew's head.

"Okay, I'll leave now!"

Andrew quickly turned his horse's head, but the mallet next to him roared, "What are you to be our dwarves! We won't break our oath like a sissy elf!"

"What did you say, who's a sissy!" Andrew's eyes widened.

"Isn't it? fuck off! I don't want to die with a damn elf!" glared back as mallet blew his beard.

Looking back, Andrew found that a paladin had quietly changed his trajectory, just in time to lock his escape.

This is to ...... Does it mean to catch them all?

Stiffly, Andrew had to turn the horse's head back, trembling slightly, and said, "Who said I was leaving......?" I will also fulfill my vows. ”

The two of them stared wide-eyed, and the hostility seemed deeper than the real enemy.

......

"Carl, I should be able to hold them back, you can choose to leave. Gray's voice rang in the heads of the Knights of the Silver Moon.

"Leave, where to go, to be a dry skeleton in another place?"

"We are tied to you, and if you fall, our source of mana will be cut off. ”

"Let's fight...... I didn't do anything good when I was alive, and I didn't think I would do good when I died. It was the most glorious moment of my life. ”

"the dark creatures! Lao Tzu is not a dark creature! Lao Tzu has faith!"

"Last time I died because of sin, this time I want to die because of justice. ”

"For justice!"

"For the β€”β€”! of Justice"

One voice after another responded sporadically.

"Why don't you ask me?"

"Do you want to leave?" asked Gray.

"Uh...... I'm embarrassed if you asked. Stay......" replied weakly to the black cat hiding in the armor.

The Knights of the Silvermoon soon reached an agreement, and the Knights of the Silvermoon gathered together to form a defensive formation with the dwarves.

The Golden Serpent Legion has completely dispersed and formed a circle. In the middle of the circle, is Gray. Facing him was Levi, and behind Levi was the defense of the Silver Moon Knights. On the periphery, there were three paladins who came to reinforce them, guarding them from three directions.

......

The wind blew softly, and the whole world was silent.

Shelley stood on the hillside with his eyes wide open, his lips covered, staring blankly, looking out, tears raining down.

Everyone present was already stunned.

......

"Holy Spirit, are you watching us?" Gray held his sword, lowered his head and began to pray before the battle: "If we die here, will Heaven accept the souls of dark creatures?"

Every undead knight was silently praying before battle, even the dwarves who had no faith in it.

Levi's voice sounded in Gray's head: "Just as you just gave Lu Sien V one last chance to choose, I will also give you one last chance to choose now. Just abandon these creatures of darkness and leave them at our disposal. Abandon your oath to the Duchess and promise that from now on you will be completely obedient to the Pope and obey the orders of the Cardinals, and we will not attack you. ”

It wasn't until the prayer was over that Gray slowly raised his head, held his sword and faced Levi, and asked softly, "What if I refuse?"

"If you refuse, we're going to beat you here. Levi smiled and said, "Hold down your proud head, remove your mask, and bring you back to the Holy See for house arrest." Let you be a titular paladin forever. By the way, clean up these dark creatures under your hands. However, this has nothing to do with whether you agree or not. Whether you agree with them or not, we'll get rid of them. ”

"I will help my knight brother, as long as he does not turn his back on his faith, no matter how great the difficulties may be. Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will not hesitate. Slowly reciting the passage of the knight's oath, Gray raised his head proudly, rode his horse, pointed the sword in his hand at Levi, and said softly: "I, paladin Gray, Count Grugru, guardian of justice, refuse your terms of peace talks. ”

"As a guardian angel, I am obligated to guard my contract knight until the last moment until he falls. The oath will not be changed by any change in external conditions!" Catherine also slowly drew her lightsaber and pointed it at Julian.

This was the first time she had drawn her sword since she came to the human world, but it was pointed at her robe.

At this moment, everything was lonely, the picture froze, and the whole world seemed to be silent.
