"In the beginning, being a soldier was just a job for me. ”

"I don't care who my employer is, and I don't care who my opponent is. Anyway, whoever gives the money, I will listen to whomever he wants. If I can't beat it, I'll run. I've had a lot of experience in the war, and I'm very confident when it comes to escaping. ”

"When we know that our opponent is a paladin who is not protected by the Holy Spirit...... Well, what's the difference? If he's a paladin protected by the Holy Spirit, I'd probably have to be humble for a while, after all, I haven't met it. If you are not sheltered, what is the difference between you and a lord?"

"The first time I've met Lord Paladin Gray, allow me to call him that. The first time I saw him was outside Pierce Church. I was placed not far from King Benedict II and heard their conversation clearly. ”

"It seems that the king wants to kill his brother, and Lord Gray wants to shelter his brother, and that is the cause of the matter. The boy was standing on the steps less than two hundred meters from me, very thin, hiding behind the other two children, and it looked like he could be poked down with a single finger. ”

"They're talking about justice or not. Actually, I don't care, because justice can't fill my stomach. For that boy...... Well, I still have a little bit of sympathy, but only a little. I even gloated a little at the thought that he was a prince who had enjoyed a life countless times better than mine. After all, the aristocrats are always hypocritical, and who knows if what they say is true?"

"Overall, that's how I felt at the time, nothing more. You have to understand that I am just a poor soldier, and the disputes of the nobles have nothing to do with me. I'm only responsible for taking the money, and then killing people, or running away, and the rest is not my responsibility. ”

"To tell you the truth, Mistress Gray scared me that night. Really, it's horrible. He alone had no fear of ten thousand troops, for the sake of the justice he proclaimed. It's like...... It's like a character in a novel. I never thought that such a person could exist in reality. The point is that he is still strong enough, he really withstands the whole army, one person, just one person, withstands the whole army...... It's horrible. It's scary. They say that Lord Gray has lost the protection of the Holy Spirit, but what other explanation can there be for that power than the protection of the Holy Spirit?"

"Then it was dawn and the Knights of the Silver Moon arrived, and we retreated with the king, then camped and waited for a new war. ”

"I was a little glad to hear that Master Gray was unconscious. After all, a powerful enemy has fallen, hasn't it? The king actually considered taking the opportunity to seize the lion king's capital, but he later dismissed this idea. After all, it can also be a trap. I guess he was scared by Mistress Gray too. ”

"After that, it's the classic raid. It's really sleepless, constantly charging. We never thought he would cross such a long distance and surprise us. I never thought that they would be able to practice such tactics. In the beginning, we suspected that they were actually a lot of people, taking turns attacking us and creating the illusion that we would be afraid. So we sent someone to follow them. It's bad that we found out to be true, without any false ingredients, to be true. The Knights of the Silver Moon can really fight without sleep, fighting twenty-four hours a day, and fighting tirelessly. ”

"It was a desperate feeling. A day earlier, we had been told that the kingdom of Eren would be at war and would be on our side...... Of course, I am not a traitor, it is the king who betrays the country, and it has nothing to do with me. But I'm glad it was, because it meant we won. But just one day later, we even doubt that we will survive the arrival of the army of the Kingdom of Allen. ”

"To be honest, I never looked forward to seeing the army of the Allen Kingdom so much. If they could have been in front of me at the time, I would have pounced on them and kissed them, no kidding. ”

"It's horrible. It's not just the paladins who are terrible, his Silver Moon Knights are even more terrifying than him. That's an invincible army. I still can't think of any way to fight them. I actually wanted to run away, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to outrun them, and that would be terrible. So I can only continue to follow the king. ”

"Then that old fellow Duke Fernández had a stroke, yes, a stroke. For the first time, I heard that an army commander had suffered a stroke in the course of a battle. But all in all, he did have a stroke. Then they were gone, and we had to face the Knights of the Silver Moon alone. ”

"I was ...... Very hungry, very sleepy, very tired, fearful, panicked, the nerves may be abnormal. In short, the state is very bad. It's never been that bad. The king led us to the war and into the Absburg. A small castle. ”

"Everyone was huddled together, and there was a smell of sweat everywhere. Toilets are not enough, and some people even defecate in the open. It was the worst place I've ever stayed, worse than sleeping in the wilderness. But thankfully, we were finally able to get a good night's sleep. ”

"Until this time, if I had any feelings for Paladin Gray, it was probably fear. An enemy so strong that you are afraid, can you have a second emotion besides fear?"

"I thought that war should end like that, we can't wait for the army of the Kingdom of Allen. In fact, even if they show up immediately, it's useless. I've fought in many wars, and I don't think any army in this world can defeat an army like the Knights of the Silver Moon. We would stay inside the Ebsburg until we ran out of food, and then we would open the gates and either flee for our lives or surrender. Can there be a third outcome?"

"Later, Master Gray made it clear to us that there was. There really is a third outcome. ”

"That's what amazes me the most about him. ”

He came to the gate alone, with his Bible. He said he was going to preach to us. ”

"At least to me at the time, it was a ridiculous joke. He chose to preach to us at that time? Does he think we're going to give in? If we're going to give in, then even if he doesn't, we're going to give in. And if we are not willing to give in, it is useless to say more. ”

"He came every day, every day, whether it was windy or snowy. His voice was so loud that no matter where we hid in the castle, everyone could hear him clearly. He insisted on preaching to us every day, telling us about the correctness of the Divine Faith. Say it over and over again. Although he didn't say it very well, he said it over and over again. He said He was willing to pray for us and ask for forgiveness from the Holy Spirit on our behalf......"

"Can you imagine? Pray for the enemy, not even to make us surrender. But that's what he did. He is more concerned about whether we listen to his sermons, believe in the Holy Spirit, and are willing to uphold righteousness than whether we surrender. ”

"After the food was eaten, we were all already thinking about going out of the city and surrendering. Then ......"

"You would never have imagined that he brought us food. He said that it is true that we are his enemies, but we are also believers in the Holy Spirit. People who believe in the Holy Spirit...... You shouldn't go hungry. He did not take the opportunity to demand that we surrender. ”

"You can't imagine how I felt. ”

"If a person is just strong, it's nothing remarkable. He can only destroy your flesh. But if it's a great ...... Someone so majestic that you can't look directly into his gaze...... I don't think it's war at all. Not at all. He holds the power of life and death for us, and he can force us to open the gates. But he didn't do that, he didn't bother to do that. ”

"We were like a bunch of naughty children, we were noisy, mischievous, mischievous, and then He came out, and He was our Father, and as He said, He loved us like the Holy Spirit. He came out and said to us kindly, 'If you admit your mistakes, then I will forgive you for your mistakes.' ’”

"In front of him, we are just a bunch of naughty children......"

"Our pride, our dignity, the rules of survival that our group of veterans believe in, were all crushed by him at that moment. But we're actually happy, never before. I'm glad to meet such an upright, kind, and powerful knight. It's an honor to be his opponent, really. ”

"He firmly fulfilled the knightly oath, held to the holy faith, mercy, mercy. I remember everything he said, because everything he said was serious and would be fulfilled. ”

"He said that his war was only for justice, not to kill anyone. ”

"We began to take his sermons seriously, even though they were still bad. Everybody says they're in it for food, but who knows? At least not me, and many people I know aren't. ”

"I've never read the Bible so seriously and I've never been so persistent in exploring the true meaning of faith. That war gave me the meaning of life. ”

He is the embodiment of the Holy Spirit in this world, the true guardian of justice. I'm convinced. Otherwise, how could he not have the slightest stain on him?"

"He conquered us, conquered us all. ”

"Later, the king disappeared, and we don't know where he went. But it doesn't matter, we don't care about him anyway. ”

"We opened the gates of the city and prostrated ourselves before Him with sincerity and sincerity, swearing in the name of the Holy Spirit that we would fight for Him. It doesn't matter if he loses the protection of the Holy Spirit, as the rumors say, even if he takes us to hell. We just want to fight for Him, we just want to fight for justice like Him, and be a person like Him, upright and kind. ”

In February 10754, on the twentieth day of the Siege of Absburg, Benedict II's troops were called by Paladin Gray to open the gates of the city and swear unconditional allegiance to Paladin Gray without any fighting or negotiation.

This incident once again shocked the entire continent.
