Appearing below Xiao Yan's body was a bloodied Taft, the old man who was missing hands and feet, along with his eyes, stood steadily in a pool of blood at this time, looking at the direction opposite him with a cruel smile. In this stout old man, at least 6 different blades were inserted, and most of the blood on the ground came from this old man.

Xiao Yan could feel that Taft was dead. But he stood here, like an eternal sculpture, so that the people in front of him did not dare to take a single step.

It was a knight of punishment, although the heavy armor was hidden under the white robes, and there was no helmet on his head, Xiao Yan was really familiar with these knights. In particular, some of these knights of punishment remained unchanged, and they had a silver-rimmed cross on their necks near their necks, which was no different in color from the skin on their necks, except for a faint silver brim. This kind of small imprint may not be clear to others at all, and even if they do, they don't know what it means. But for Xiao Yan, he had seen such marks many times in Tosto. The knights who broke away from the Knights of Punishment and formed the Order of the Relic also wore this mark on their necks, except that they dyed the silver edges green to make the crosses more visible.

With just a glance, Xiao Yan could be sure that these punishment knights did not come suddenly, but were well prepared. In total, they consisted of about 20 people, which was basically the size of half a squadron. There were no rifles, but both the flail and the broad-edged sword were already in hand. In addition to this, there is a faint glow on their bodies. These glows seem to flicker on and off. But it has a majestic momentum.

The knights did not move on. Looks like something is waiting for. No one noticed the top of the tunnel. In addition, the cloak had already worked, so these punishment knights did not notice Xiao Yan's arrival.

The passage was silent, and the Knights of Punishment did not speak, just observing Taft. Whether Taft is dead or not, the Punishment Knights of this half squadron seem to have no plans to move on. This surprised Xiao Yan slightly, but soon, he saw the reason why these punishment knights did not move on.

A line of blood, a line of blood that flows from Taft. It was slashing in front of the Punishment Knight at the front, the blood line was not wide, and it didn't look dangerous. But as long as he looked at the blood line that seemed to be still flowing, the faces of the punishment knights showed a solemn look. In the light of the torches, Xiao Yan could vaguely see faint smoke slowly steaming on the blood line, which would not disperse and would stop when the evaporation reached about half a person's height. It's like a low fence wall, and it's not difficult to climb over it, but it's very difficult for knights in full armor to climb over it without affecting the fog.

After a dozen seconds or a little longer. There was a sound of shredded footsteps from behind the Punishment Knight, and an even burder of the Punishment Knight separated from the crowd and walked over. This is a person who has completely concealed his head in the visor. After a brief observation of the blood-colored smoke, the retributive knight asked in a low voice, "Is this it?" ”

"This is the secret technique of the Grey Dwarf's bloodline, and if we step forward, it will cause the entire passage to collapse."

Another knight of punishment replied in a deep voice, "We have encountered this situation outside of the many intermittent Underground Realms, and quite a few knights and priests have died in landslides without warning. Recently, there was news from the Inquisition that the Grey Dwarves were able to use their bloodline to create a bloodline that was closely linked to the passages, and according to the Grey Dwarves, they considered all the passages to be alive, so they had a special way to control the life and death of these living passages. ”

The apparently squadron leader-level punishment knight looked at the blood line coldly, and after a few seconds, said, "We have been clearing those alien settlements, and now you tell me that because of such a line, we will have to stop the possibility of continuing to advance." Who knows what the price we need to pay in order to find such a passage? If we evacuate this time, then this road will be closed soon, and next time we want to find another way to the dungeon, I don't know when the road will be. In this way, when will we be able to fulfill the mission given to us by the Pope? When will we get the dirt out of Europe completely? I decided, don't have to wait any longer, move on. The Lord will bless us, Amen. ”

However, such a mixed settlement was also blessed by St. Flemann. Comparatively ......"

A younger retribution knight tried to continue, but was quickly silenced by the squadron leader's gaze. After a moment of heat after staring at his undetermined subordinate, the squadron leader turned his head again, drew a cross on his chest with his hand, and prayed again on the handle of his double-edged sword.

"What about this gray dwarf?"

A punishment knight suddenly asked, pointing to Taft's body, it was clear that if he wanted to move forward, he needed to pass not only through the blood line in front of him, but also through Taft's body.

The Knight Squadron Leader looked at Taft's corpse coldly and responded, "The body of the heretic only needs to be purified with flames. ”

"Hey, wait, wait, wait."

A voice suddenly came from the direction from which Xiao Yan came, and Descartes, who had returned to the form of a werewolf, walked over. He looked at the knights of punishment, who were basically fully armed, like the face of the enemy, and seemed to smile, but this smile was more like a sinister smile no matter how you looked at it.

"Do you know who you are against? Or rather, who did you hurt just now? ”

As he spoke, Descartes lifted the remaining arm of Taft, and on the outside of this arm, where the blood had flowed, the mark of a cross had appeared. The difference is that the cross is made of several branches, and although it is imprinted on the skin, the tiny branches and leaves are clearly visible. In the middle of the cross, several letters are inscribed. That's shorthand for the phrase "I grant you forgiveness."

"A life blessed and forgiven by St. Flemann!"

Several of the Punishment Knights suddenly let out such an exclamation, and their faces turned very bad. In any case, the presence of St. Flemann has always been a heavy pressure that the Holy See cannot escape. Even the Knights of Punishment could not be unaware of the existence of St. Fleman and the significance of St. Flemain to the entire Holy See. Here, the Knights of Punishment killed a follower of St. Fleman, what would that bring to the Holy See and the congregation? Civil strife? Such a result was enough to terrify and panic the Knights of Punishment.

Only the squadron leader was very calm, he said behind his mask: "That's fake." ”

After hearing this, those punishment knights looked at the squadron leader in disbelief, and even Descartes's expression changed subtly. He asked repeatedly, "Are you sure this mark is fake?" ”

"I vouch with my life."

The squadron leader's words did not leave a handle on Descartes, he did not say whether what he vouched for was true or false, and he also took this matter that could easily be pointed to the Pope himself. Even if Taft's mark is genuine, the squadron leader can still explain everything with his personal actions, and finally let the matter settle down without much impact on the Pope.

Descartes nodded again and said, "Well, there is nothing more to say." ”

"Blessed by the Lord!"

The squadron leader held the broadsword in his hand and prayed again.

"St. Fleiman said that the Lord told us to cherish life. But if those who do not value their lives and insist on destroying others, we do not have to cherish their lives. With Jenol above, she will listen to everything. ”

Descartes also praised, and a great amount of glow began to flood rapidly over him. Without any other circumstantial evidence, these rays were enough to prove that Descartes was approved by the Lord, but the squadron leader turned a blind eye and suddenly lowered his body. In the next second, the squadron leader's body slammed out like a cannonball, and the giant sword in his hand drew a huge arc, like a Descartes slashing down. At the same time, Descartes struck both palms with the same force. Then he arched his fists and ignored the squadron leader's big sword, just a ferocious punch and swung it hard at the squadron leader's face.

This sudden confrontation of lightning and fire made the other Punishment Knights a little dizzy, but, unexpectedly, the huge impact sound they thought would appear did not appear at all. When the dust in the passage had just calmed down a little, these punishment knights suddenly discovered that a young human had appeared between the squadron leader and the werewolf. Although the human appeared so suddenly, there was no sense of abruptness, as if he had been there in the first place, and the captain and werewolf were passing by.

In the young man's hand, the captain's heavy sword was twisted and deformed. And the werewolf on the other side was also firmly pinned down in the air.

This is a picture that makes all the Punishment Knights gasp, the level of the Punishment Knights themselves is already level 5, and at the level of the squadron leader, it is almost the same as the Holy Crown Knight, close to level 8. What would be the effect of a heavy sword of this level swinging away, every punishment knight knew it. However, it was such a terrible swing, but it fell into the young man's hands without making any sound, and was even directly distorted by him. What kind of strength is that young man?

"There shall be no fighting between you without my permission."

Xiao Yan said this, his face was calm, but there was a kind of toughness that could not be refused. (To be continued......)
