Chapter 19: The Holy See's Secret Decree (4) (2nd Update)

"It's ...... Officially declared war?"

The people present, whether they were civilians or soldiers of the two armies, were in an uproar.

Jean II was so excited that the corners of his mouth began to twitch, could there be more fun than this?

Rusin V stepped back vigilantly, shieldmen and spearmen quickly piling up defenses in front of him.

Shelley, who had no idea what was going to happen today, covered her lips in astonishment.

Levi was still smiling as usual.

"Queue ——!," Karl's voice echoed over the battlefield.

The Knights of the Silver Moon have begun to quickly adjust their formation, adjusting the original horizontal row to a sharp formation towards the Golden Serpent Legion.

The dwarves, who were "infantry", also began to adjust their formations. Although it looks a little messy without training, it looks fine with the neat Silver Moon Knights.

Jean II drew his sword excitedly, but was stopped by Gray: "Please watch the battle from the side, Lord Duke." ”

"Let me watch the battle?" Jean II's hand trembled visibly.

"Yes, it is the duty of the arbitrator to discipline the defaulter, and you do not need to intervene. Gray said in a tone that could not be denied.

Jean II had no choice but to put his sword back into its scabbard.

"It's war, it's war!" Vivien clapped her hands in delight.

"Gray ......" the black cat said nervously, "I think you should think about it again?" The Holy See's toughness is beyond our imagination at the beginning, and if we charge, it will be our own declaration of war on the Holy See. It's going to be hard to end. I feel that this may qualify for the angels to do something to you. Is that so? Catherine. ”

"I don't know, it shouldn't be true. However, I'm a bit of a mess, and I don't know if Julian will do it......"

"If Julian won't do it, why would Levi do it?"

Adjusting step by step, until his pace was in line with the other Silver Moon Knights, forming a formation with them, and placing himself at the front of the Blade Formation, Gray whispered as he prepared, "I don't have a choice. If I hold back, the betrayer will not be punished, which means that all my previous promises are false, and even the righteousness we preach is false. The war can be lost, but our attitude cannot change!"

Gray ...... Well, I know I can't convince you, but promise me that when you attack, no one will take the initiative to attack Levi. Don't give him any excuses. ”

"I understand. ”

"Don't take the initiative to attack Levi. A voice quickly spread throughout the Knights of the Silver Moon.

"And what if he attacks us?" someone asked.

After a slight hesitation, Gray replied, "Allow a counterattack." ”

......

Levi stood in the distance on horseback, smiling at the Knights of the Silver Moon.

......

"Huh?" Shelley suddenly noticed something, "What about Vivien, why didn't she come with us?"

Jones said nonsense: "She...... She left first last night. ”

"Where's the departure, there's going to be a war, I'm afraid she's in danger. ”

"Don't worry, she's a danger in her own right. ”

"Huh?"

......

Yes, at this moment Vivien was jumping and jumping beside Gray in excitement: "Great! Destroy all the wrongdoers! It's a pity that I can't go to war, it's a pity, otherwise I could have fought two Julians!"

"Are you serious?" asked Catherine.

"No, I'm kidding!" replied Vivien.

......

Camilla's eyes widened nervously, watching.

At Karl's request, Jean II retreated into his own army and sided with Camilla.

Lu Sien V began to gather his troops, set up a circular formation, and wrapped himself tightly in the military formation.

One hundred and fifty against forty thousand, and as a result, forty thousand were in a defensive state, all thanks to the reputation of the Silver Moon Knights. The venerable Knights of the Silver Moon put on an offensive formation in front of him, so how could Rusin V be calm?

His gaze couldn't help but look towards Levi, who was still motionless on his horse and standing.

Arthur said eagerly, "Levi has not acted, father, we may have been betrayed by him." ”

"It can't be. ”

"Nothing is impossible, you said, 'Paladins of Less-Integrity don't fight battles that are sure to lose'. He probably didn't plan to make a move at all, he didn't plan to go to war!"

"It can't be!"

"What if he made us lose first, in exchange for the Holy See's excuse to send troops to Paladin Gray?"

Lu Sien V was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened.

"As long as we refuse to participate in the competition, his goal has been achieved. Maybe, maybe he just wants us to lose. Arthur was desperately trying to persuade his father.

However, Lu Sien V pushed him away: "Impossible! If Levi has not moved when they charge, we will raise the white flag! Levi should understand this!"

......

Finally, the entire Knights of the Silver Moon were lined up. Gray raised his sword in the air and shouted, "Your Majesty, I will give you one last chance for peace! If you are willing to continue to fulfill the agreement, I am still willing to accept you!"

The voice echoed in the air.

The whole world seemed to fall silent, and everyone watched nervously. The residents who were purely on the sidelines stretched their necks one by one.

Lu Sien V looked in Levi's direction without stopping, hesitating. The sweat came out of his forehead.

The dwarves with muskets were already reloading their muskets.

"There are 40,000 on the other side, and this battle will have to be fought for a long time. Carl muttered to himself.

"No, no. I've got a way to keep them defenses for long. Andrew next to him stretched out a hand, and a fireball the size of a person's head quickly ignited in his hand, hanging in the air: "Put fire in the middle of their formation, so that they can't maintain the formation." ”

"It's a magician! the cloaked man is a magician!" exclaimed the soldier on the other side.

"Answer me, Your Majesty!, do you choose war or peace!" asked Gray again.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense with him?

All of a sudden, the entire White Fox Legion began to coax.

"Charge, charge, charge!" the voice came in waves.

The Golden Serpent Legion soldiers at the forefront had begun to faintly retreat. There is no way, there are many legendary deeds on the mainland, but there are very few legends close at hand. Gray's story, every one of them had heard. No one wants to fight the Knights of the Silver Moon, who have never killed anyone in battle and are sure to win every battle.

Levi still didn't make any moves. Arthur reminded again.

Panic had already begun to spread among the army, and even Lusian V was infected. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist in one hand and the reins in the other, the sweat on his forehead drip after drop, clenching his teeth and tensing his nerves, but he still had no intention of compromising.

"Your Majesty, this is the last time I ask you!" Gray's raised sword was already faintly falling: "I want you to answer my question, choose war or peace!"

Hearing this, Lu Sien V hurriedly raised his hand. However, just as he was about to say something, the figure suddenly stopped. Because through the corner of his eye, he found that Levi had already begun to act!

Yes, Levi is on the move! He rode slowly forward, in the direction of the Golden Serpent Legion.

"War!" gritting his teeth, Lu Si En V drew the long sword at his waist and shouted: "If you think this war is inevitable, then I choose war! I, the ruler of Fides, Lu Si En V is firmly on the side of the Pope! Even if you are a paladin, you cannot impose a duel that has been denied by the Pope on me!"

Levi's horse began to accelerate, and he rode all the way until the Golden Serpent Legion's line stopped and turned his horse's head. Stopped between Gray and the Golden Serpent Legion, stood at the front of the Golden Serpent Legion's line, drew his long sword, tilted his head, smiled, and looked at Gray defiantly.

There is no room for manoeuvre.

Everyone's eyes widened, including Shelley, including Jean II, and Camilla.

Gray's sword slowly fell.

"Knights ——!of the Silver Moon!"

The next moment, all the members of the Silver Moon Knights, including Gray, rushed out like arrows from Lixuan. Trailing behind him were the rampaging legions of dwarves.

An army of only one hundred and fifty pulled out long tracks on the earth.

Everyone craned their necks to watch.

Lu Sien V's heart was about to beat to his throat. Levi glanced back at him, signaling him to compose.

"Spread out ——!," shouted Gray, who rushed to the front.

All of a sudden, the Knights of the Silver Moon turned into two arcs and slashed towards both sides, avoiding the spear formation of the Golden Serpent Legion. Gray was the only one still rushing forward.

Amid the roar, only a dozen dwarven musketeers had already completed the first round of salvos. The bullet even slashed through the corner of Levi's eye. The soldiers behind him collapsed, but Levi was unscathed.

Andrew, who stopped his horse and stood with the dwarves, threw the first fireball, flew over Levi's head, and when it landed in the Golden Serpent Legion, it instantly provoked a wail. The formation of the Golden Serpent Legion began to crumble.

Levi still stood motionless with his sword in his hand, riding his horse, and smiling. Even when Gray staggered over him, he didn't react in the slightest.

As always, Gray blessed himself with a triple wind, a triple shield, and a triple great force, and plunged headlong into the spear array of the Golden Serpent Legion, and began to sprint in the direction of Luson V in a frenzy.

Already frightened, Russon V began to retreat under heavy guards.

"What are you doing, why don't you stop him!" he shouted, but Levi ignored him at all.

The knights of the Silver Moon Knights have begun to surround the Golden Serpent Legion, killing and injuring the soldiers on the periphery. The morale of the Golden Serpent Legion is crumbling at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"The conditions are ripe. With his back to Gray, who was sprinting, Levi let out a long sigh and whispered, "Is it okay to send me a message to him?" ”

"Okay. Julian replied softly.

So, a voice sounded in Gray's head: "Gray, there are some things that can't be done just by having ideals. Idealism doesn't solve anything. Don't you object to me calling your men creatures of darkness? Let me tell you what reality is, and the reality is that even in the covenant of the Holy Spirit, they are still creatures of darkness. Because the basis of the division of the contract is not based on faith, but on race. As long as they take the initiative to attack the human race, especially the human who has been declared sheltered by the Pope, then, no matter who they are loyal to, as a paladin, I have the right to borrow the power of the angels and execute them!"

For a moment, Gray was stunned in the fierce battle, and slowly turned his head to look at Levi.

At this moment, Levi was also looking at him, smiling. Behind him, Julian has already revealed his true body.

Not only that, but Gray instantly felt three other powerful forces.

The entire Order of the Silvermoon Knights, including the Silvermoon Knights, including the Dwarves, and Andrew, all stopped moving. Even Vivien and Catherine froze.

With the Golden Serpent Legion as the center, a knight wearing armor similar to Levi's style of armor appeared in each of the other three directions, riding a horse. Behind them, without exception, hovered an angel with wings stretched and radiating a soft light.

For a while, everyone present was in an uproar.

The four holy knights of the Holy See have gathered! It can even be said that all the paladins on the entire continent have gathered!

It's a four-on-one situation.

The smile on Levi's face slowly disappeared, and he said softly, "Today, we are going to settle the entire Silver Moon Knights once and for all!"
