Armies from all sides filled the open spaces around Pierce Cathedral, and even the alleys were crowded.

Rows of torches, rows of large shields, dense cavalry spears.

Pierce Cathedral is like an island in the middle of an ocean.

......

On the shortcut from the White City to the Lion King's Capital, hundreds of undead knights of the Silver Moon Knights are desperately on their way. Like a gust of wind.

......

In the distance, from the window of her room, Irene could faintly see the torches scattered in front of the Pierce Cathedral.

Pastor Dean was stunned.

Shelley nervously took Erin's hand and blinked.

......

"Is the king after a paladin?"

"That's good news. If the paladins and the king turn against each other, then this country is undoubtedly ours. The promise to that old fellow of Grugrew was worth it. Duke Fernández said proudly.

At this moment, they did not know that Count Grugrew was more confused than they were.

......

The king staggered into the middle of the army on horseback, his eyes full of murder.

Tenedas and the other two skeleton horses, who were standing in front of Pierce's Cathedral, stepped back step by step, up the steps to the top platform, turned around and rushed straight into the cathedral.

The whole world was silent, except for the sound of torches burning.

Residents watched cautiously through the cracks in their windows.

"Prepare ——!," the king raised his right hand.

The archers in the formation looked at each other and hesitated.

"Prepare to ——!," the king, who had lost his mind, shouted again.

One by one, the archers raised their angles and drew their bows to the fullest.

"Wait a minute——! someone shouted.

The king's hand was in the air.

The bishop hurried out from the main entrance of the cathedral, carrying his robe, supported by another clergyman.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" he cried out breathlessly.

The king looked at him with an angry face.

Carrying his robe, the bishop hurried down the steps.

The shield men in the front row made way of an aisle.

He hurried up to the king and saluted respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I ...... I apologize to you on behalf of the Paladin, and I hope you will calm your anger. This is a misunderstanding. Tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning will give you a satisfactory answer. I promise. ”

The king was visibly stunned for a moment, his eyes full of doubt.

Swallowing dryly, the bishop stood in front of the king's horse and slowly raised his head, looked at the king with wrinkled eyes, and said: "Please leave immediately with your soldiers, and it is a sin of disrespect to the Holy Spirit to surround the church." His Majesty the King is a person who is blessed by the Holy Spirit, and certainly does not disrespect the Holy Spirit, as we all know. We also believe that His Majesty the King did so for a last resort. However, if things are allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that the ill-intentioned people will find a handle. This is extremely detrimental to the canonization ceremony of His Majesty the day after tomorrow. ”

The king's hand slowly flipped over and waved slightly.

The archers breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their bows and arrows.

"You're saying that what the paladin is doing has nothing to do with you, and you don't support it, do you?

"Yes...... Yes. The bishop nodded in a trembling voice, and said stiffly, "There must be some misunderstanding in this. The Paladin, like me, deeply feels that Your Majesty is the best choice to rule the Principality of Isaac and the gospel of the Holy Religion. Please also ask Your Majesty to give me a moment to figure out the cause and effect of the matter. ”

"Do you hear that?" the king cried out, looking around, "Our Lord Bishop does not approve of the Paladin's claims! He firmly believes that I! Benedict II is the best choice to rule the kingdom of Isaac! The Paladins have not received the will of the Holy Spirit! Now you should be at ease!"

The voice slowly resounded through the formation.

The soldiers listened quietly.

The bishop seemed to realize something, and stared at the king with wide eyes.

Lowering his head, the king sneered and said softly, "Okay, now you have no effect. Come, Come, Your Excellency, 'Please' the Bishop!"

"You! you can't do this! you can't do this! besiege the church! you'll be punished by the Holy See!" the bishop struggled, crying out as he was dragged away.

The clergy in the church, who were shrunk and watched, were stunned.

"If I don't sit on the throne, I don't need the Holy See to intervene, I've already been punished. Throwing up his head, the king roared at the church, "Come out, paladin, if you don't want the thousand-year-old Pierce Cathedral to be destroyed!

"How else?" a voice rang in everyone's ears. To put it mildly, but with unparalleled firmness.

All the soldiers threw their heads up.

The corners of the king's eyes twitched slightly.

The bishop, who had been dragged into the distance, slowly widened his eyes.

The two demons hiding in the shadows watched silently.

The main entrance of the church was open, and three figures slowly appeared.

Little by little, the silver moonlight shone on them.

The horse, the mighty armor, the straight posture, the silver moon badge on the chest is like the stars in the night sky in the moonlight.

Gray rode his horse with Bob.

Jones and Dora each rode their horses, one left and one right.

On the platform in front of the gate, they walked slowly until the three horses in the middle stopped.

In front of him, under the steps, there was a military formation like an ocean. The fire shines brightly. Behind it is the Cathedral of Pierce, a symbol of sacred faith.

Gray looked down condescendingly, proud as a god.

"That's terrible...... Gray, are you really not thinking about it anymore?" asked the black cat in a whisper.

Gray, did not answer.

"The bishop has told us that you do not have the will of the Holy Spirit!" roared the king.

"Yes. Gray replied briefly and crisply.

"Hahaha, then why are you arguing with me?" the king roared hysterically.

Tavia couldn't help but laugh: "Is this guy stupid, he actually admitted it? If he pretends to have the will of the Holy Spirit, how can these people verify it?

Zeda on the side did not smile: "If he will use the will of the Holy Spirit, then, he will not step into our trap from the beginning." Once he steps into our trap, it means that he will not use the will of the Holy Spirit in any way. ”

Silence, long silence.

The soldiers swallowed dryly.

Everyone looked at Gray in silence, including the king. He gasped softly, the corners of his mouth already slightly raised.

Although he didn't understand why this paladin was so frank as to admit that he didn't receive the will of the Holy Spirit, he knew that he had already won half of the way.

Without the will of the Holy Spirit, it means that there is no holy art, no angels! A paladin without holy arts and angels is just a person! The throne is close at hand!

After a long time, Gray whispered, "I don't have the will of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit has given permission for this war." ”

"Permission for this war?"

That is, the Holy Spirit does not intervene, and you and I, in front of the world, fight a fair battle for each other's different ideas. ”

"What's your philosophy?" the king raised his guard.

"My philosophy is to give justice to Prince Bob, and justice to the other princes you killed. ”

"Hahahaha, how touching! What a righteous knight! You want to give them justice? Do you guess anyone believes it? What justice do dead people need? You want to put a child on the throne so that you can become his guardian! Look at this paladin!

Gray watched quietly, at the king, who was already almost insane.

"Even the Holy Spirit is no longer with you!What qualifications do you have to challenge me, even if you are a paladin?" the king grinned wildly, "You don't be naïve enough to think that I will agree to fight you alone, do you?"

"The Holy Spirit is not with me, but justice is with me. That's enough. Gray's tone was still so understated.

With a light lift, he lifted up Bob sitting in front of him, handed it to Jones's horse, and whispered, "Protect him from magic." ”

Then ride forward on your own.

"Justice is on your side, are you joking with me?" cried out the king, "Laugh at me!"

Awkward, sparse laughter rang out in the formation.

It is clear that I am strong and the enemy is weak, but I don't know why, but the soldiers cowered one by one, without the slightest momentum.

......

The banner of the Silver Moon fluttered in the wind, and the undead knights stepped over one mountain after another at great speed.

......

Shelley nervously took Erin's hand.

Irene looked at the Pierce Cathedral in the distance, which was lit by firelight, and explained to Abby Robles beside her: "Release the carrier pigeon, inform the White City to gather all the troops and march to the lion king." ”

"Yes!"

......

Catherine, in the otherworld, slowly turned her head and stared blankly.

Behind her, a vision slowly unfolded.

In the picture, Gray drives his horse forward step by step, to the edge of the steps, facing thousands of troops alone, facing an army formation like an ocean.

......

In the moonlight, the silver-white armor was so dazzling in the firelight, as brilliant as a firework.

Everyone was watching silently, watching in horror.

He looked down condescendingly at the king and said, "I now give you one last chance at peace, for your own sake, for your soldiers, dismount, confess all your sins, and ask the Holy Spirit for forgiveness." ”

"Shut up, who gave you the courage to think you were going to win, hand over Bob, and I'll spare you death!" the king roared in response.

"It's a pity that you gave up your last chance at peace. Gray drew his sword with a thud.

All the soldiers took a sharp step back.

The king's eyes widened and he cried out, "Bow and arrow ready ——!"

The archers stepped up one after another, raised their angles, and aimed their arrows at Gray on the steps.

Holding his sword to his chest, Gray whispered, "Justice, my faith, I am willing to give everything to you." I will fight to the death for you. If justice can't be done, I'd rather my life stand still in this moment. ”

This is not a prayer to the Holy Spirit, it is a prayer to one's own heart.

......

Catherine stared blankly in the other dimension.

"He is becoming a saint...... this is the voice of the Holy Spirit.

"Saints ......"

......

In an instant, even the demons, even Zeda, Tavia, and Vivien were stunned.

......

"All of you know, all know that there is a child who trembles in the palace of the Lion King! but no one will lend a hand! If justice is absent, then I will take the place of justice and judge all injustice!" At the end, Gray pointed his sword at the king and roared in a voice from the depths of his soul, "Begin ——!"

The voice slowly spread throughout the lion king, and everyone could hear it clearly, so deafening.

A madness has been ignited.

"Shoot the ——!"

In the midst of a hail of arrows, Gray leaped up and swooped down on the king.
