For the whole night, Gray stood motionless on the hillside, looking out at the house where Levi lived. Not to be outdone, Levi stood on the balcony and looked at Gray.

Lusin V, Jean II, Arthur, and Camilla all returned to camp separately.

When the first rays of sunlight lit up the town of Buck, all parties sprang into action.

The army of the Golden Serpent camp began to reorganize and assemble. The army of the White Fox camp also began to reorganize and assemble.

The dwarves lifted the curtains, and one by one cautiously walked out of the tent, picking up their weapons. Shelley had also already walked out in casual clothes and leather armor, looking around cautiously.

Jones and Dora had already brought the bone horse arranged for Shelley to Shelley.

Karl, who was Gray's right and left man, was running back and forth on horseback, directing the troops. The main thing, of course, is to command the dwarves. The Knights of the Silver Moon are magically connected to Gray, just like Gray's siblings, and in a split second, orders can be fully communicated.

Seeing Shelley walk out of the camp, Karl hurriedly rode over and said to Shelley: "Miss Shelley, you stay here today to watch the battle, and the two of them will protect you." ”

"The two of them", referring to Jones and Dora.

Shelley nodded silently and glanced at Gray who was standing at the front from a distance.

Tenedas had come behind Gray, and the black cat was already lying in Gray's chest. Catherine and Vivien each disappeared and floated around Gray.

Andrew was wrapped in a cloak and led a horse by Gray's side.

"Anyway, do I have to stay in your armor?" the black cat muttered quietly, "Maybe I'll be safer if you let me move freely." ”

"I'm relieved to have you. ”

"Uh...... Looks like I'm quite important. Hahahaha. What are you going to do?"

"I don't know, it's up to them. It's best if they participate in the competition as agreed, and if someone breaks the contract, I'll have to punish them immediately. ”

"Hmm...... Will the other party's guardian angel make a move? If the opponent's guardian angel makes a move, there is a high probability that we will not be able to beat it. Not to mention the guardian agreement, we may not even be able to run. ”

"If you want me to fight, we can fight, we can run with them. Vivien whispered, "Aren't you really going to try out the power from Hell?"

......

Jean II appeared on the battlefield on horseback. Camilla also appeared, dressed in civilian clothes and following her father closely on horseback. The brow was still furrowed.

"Paladin Gray just reaffirmed the previous agreement last night, and nothing else?"

"Nope. ”

"For example, if only one side is on his side, he will promise the whole of the Eloi Peninsula dominion or anything like that?"

"No, he said that even if the rights and interests of the losing side of the competition are protected, he will protect them. ”

"Oh, that doesn't sound like a temptation. Far less than the conditions proposed by the paladin Levi. ”

"Father's ......"

"Say whatever you want. ”

"Father, do you want to support Paladin Levi?"

"Don't you think it's right to support Paladin Levi?"

"No, I just think...... Paladin Gray is a good man of integrity, and we should not betray him, nor our own promises. ”

Jean II turned his head, looked at his daughter meaningfully, and asked softly, "Tell me, if two paladins fight, who do you think will win?"

After a moment of silence, Camilla plucked up her courage and said, "I think Paladin Gray will win." ”

"Okay, I got it. You may not be able to help in this battle, but after that, you must continue to deepen your relationship with Paladin Gray. I'm looking forward to having a paladin son-in-law. A count's daughter is not worthy of a paladin. With that, Jean II was already riding his horse and speeding forward.

......

At the same time, on the other side, Lu Sien V also appeared on the battlefield on horseback.

Prince Arthur rode after him: "Father, are you really not thinking about it carefully?"

"I've already decided, I don't need to think about it anymore. ”

"But...... As far as we're seeing now, Paladin Gray actually has the upper hand. Undoubted advantages. Unless Paladin Levi had some other preparations, it would be impossible to defeat Paladin Gray's Silver Moon Knights. Levi wouldn't tell us what he was going to do. ”

Russon V tightened his reins and stopped, turned his face to look at his son, and pointed meaningfully at Gray's camp and said, "That's an upright paladin. ”

Then he pointed in the direction of Levi, the town of Buck, and said, "And that's a paladin who is not very upright. ”

"Father, I'm ...... I don't really understand. ”

Lu Sien V took a deep breath and continued: "Honest paladins don't know how to retreat, they don't know how to compromise, and not very upright paladins won't fight battles that are bound to lose. Since Levi is involved, at least before the war starts, it must be won in his opinion. Although he didn't say anything, I'm sure he was prepared. He doesn't look like a guy who would come here and lose face. And then there's ...... Paladin Gray's conditions are terrible, very upright, very fair, but really too unseductive. If we support Paladin Gray, Paladin Levi threatens to wipe us off the Eroi Peninsula. And if we break our promise, we will be punished only by the fact that the paladin Gray will attack us, and we will have a second chance to accept the agreement again. He even claimed to protect the interests of the losers......"

Arthur listened dumbly, his eyes slowly widening.

Lu Sien V snorted and said, "Oh my God...... It's the weirdest promise I've ever heard. Even if you lose the competition, you will only lose an inconspicuous town. And if we put our bets on Paladin Levi, we might win the entire Eloi Peninsula. He is an upright paladin, but not very intelligent. Any gambler knows that this is a completely unequal gamble. The stakes are too small and the odds are too high. And Levi doesn't necessarily have to lose. In that case, why don't we take a gamble?"

......

"Get on the horse," Karl shouted, ——!.

All of a sudden, all the Silvermoon Knights stepped on their stirrups and got on their horses. Gray also got on the horse.

"Knights of the Silver Moon, forward!"

With a dwarven legion of fifty dwarves, the Silver Moon Knights began to advance little by little.

The wind blew softly, blowing the flags and hunting.

Shelley, along with Jones and Dora, rode behind and stood close to the camp, watching from afar.

The golden snakes and white foxes with a large number of people on the left and right have also assembled and formed formations.

The fence at the eastern exit of Buck Town was opened, and Levi appeared on horseback in his brilliant armor. He was followed closely by a large group of clergy and many civilians from the small town of Buck.

......

The shield array in front of the White Fox Legion gave way to an aisle, and Jean II rode all the way to Gray.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes focused on Lu Sien V, who was still in the military formation. He rode quietly and stood.

Arthur whispered behind him, "Father, I think you need to think again. Paladin Gray's force is clear and in front of us. Although he has already said that he will ensure the interests of the losers, in the event of defeat here, our prestige at home will plummet. This is perhaps more serious than the loss of an obscure town. ”

Russon V raised his hand and motioned for Arthur to say no more, but he still just rode his horse and stood quietly.

"His Majesty King Fides, please, do what you have promised!" cried Karl in a loud voice.

It was loud and loud enough for everyone to hear. However, Lusin V still rode his horse and stood quietly, his eyes moving back and forth between Gray and Levi. There was no answer.

"His Majesty King Fides, please! fulfill the agreement!" Karl repeated.

Everyone in the room craned their necks, but there was still no answer. Russon V just pursed his lips and looked at Gray from afar.

"King Fides doesn't want to break the contract, does he?"

"Isn't he afraid of the paladin's punishment?"

Residents in the distance are already talking.

Jean II looked at Lu Sen V from a distance and smiled.

"His Majesty King Fides, please come out of the line!" This is the third time, and Karl added: "If you do not appear again, it will be regarded as a renegment of the agreement!"

One last glance at Levi, Lu Sien V finally moved.

The shield soldier in front of him made way for him. Riding his horse, he moved forward slowly, but just as he stepped out of the line, he tightened his reins and stopped.

Raising his head, he shouted in a loud voice: "Lord Paladin, Lord Gray! I, the ruler of Fides, the king of Fides, and the thirty-fifth heir of the Golden Serpent family, Lu Sien V, after careful consideration, feel that the agreement between me and Jean II is not appropriate!

The corners of Levi's mouth rose slightly.

Jean II was about to attack, but was stopped by Gray's outstretched hand. Turning his horse's head, Gray shouted at Ruson V, "What do you want to change?"

"I demand that the agreement must be approved by the Pope! without the Pope's consent, the agreement cannot be established and should not be fulfilled!"

Gray replied bluntly: "The original agreement did not involve the Pope, and there was no need for the Pope to approve it! Your request was rejected! The agreement must be fulfilled immediately!"

Lu Sien V spread his hands and said: "Since this is the case, then I can only refuse to participate in the competition!"

That's to be expected.

Gray replied loudly, "Then, as the arbiter, I can only punish you, your family, and the entire Fides Kingdom you rule as agreed!"

The people, the soldiers, were in an uproar.

"What is this for? Did Paladin Gray declare war on Fides?"

Before anyone present could react, Levi had already instigated his war horse to step forward and shouted loudly: "I, Paladin Levi, on behalf of the Pope, hereby declare that the competition agreement between Lu Sien V, the ruler of the Fides Kingdom, and Jean II, the ruler of the Duchy of Burth, is null and void! Violators do not have to pay any price! At the same time, as the king canonized by the Pope, the Holy See will protect its rights and interests from infringement! Any attempt to infringe on the rights and interests of the Royal Family of Fides will be condemned and sanctioned!"

"Wait, did I hear me right?" someone in the stunned crowd muttered, "The Pope has denied the arbitration presided over by Paladin Gray, and Paladin Gray will either admit that his arbitration is invalid, or declare war on Fides and punish him." And in this case, the paladin Levi will represent the Holy See and represent Fides. Paladin Gray and the Holy See are tantamount to an indirect declaration of war...... Is that what it means?"

"Like...... Right. ”

"Oh my God, is this a civil war in the Holy See?"

The wind blew softly, and the whole world was silent. Even the chatter stopped, and everyone held their breath and quietly looked at Gray in the middle of the battlefield.

After a long time, Gray raised his head, drew his long sword, and said in a loud voice: "The Knights of the Silver Moon are lined up ——! ready to charge——!"
