Chapter 126: The Oath of the Camp
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the camp, and the tents had long since been reduced to ashes.
Paul took Andre and ten probationary paladins to turn over and dismount, looking at this devastated scene, his heart filled with sadness.
He looked around and led the war horse in the direction of the cabin.
Feeling the oncoming wind made this sad breath even stronger.
There was a group of old men standing outside the cemetery, and Paul and the others couldn't help but show a trace of doubt when they looked at it, but then they were relieved.
"Grandpa Mondstadt," Paul shouted to Mondstadt in front of him. At the same time, I carefully counted in my heart, and there were only eight people in this group of old men.
Hearing the voice, Mondstadt and the others turned to look at Paul, and a trace of blood dripped down the wound: "Pope." β
"Are you hurt?. Paul looked at the wounds on Mondstadt and the other eight ascetics, large and small, and inquired at them, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Looking at Paul's concerned gaze, Mondstadt and the others smiled, "It's not a small injury." β
"If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Pope and Head Andrew, we would have been dead by now. Mondstadt said to Paul.
The eight ascetics behind him all nodded: "Thank you Pope for saving your life." β
"We are one, and all these things are done by the will of our Lord, so there is no saving grace. Paul said slowly to Mondstadt.
AndrΓ© smiled at Mondstadt and the eight ascetics, "The Pope is right, this is what we should do. β
Hearing Paul and Andrew's words, Mondstadt and the eight ascetics laughed at the same time, and then said nothing.
Looking at the cemeteries in front of him, a faint sadness spread again.
"Did the Pope count the casualties of this migration? Mondstadt's lips moved, breaking the silence.
The eight ascetics standing behind Mondstadt were silent for a moment when they heard the word casualty.
Paul shook his head slowly at Mondstadt: "I didn't have time to count the casualties. β
"After all, we're not out of danger yet. Paul said, but his eyes were on the cemetery.
Hearing Paul's reply, Mondstadt looked at the cemetery and blurted out subconsciously when he thought of the many things that had happened to him for his escape: "Pope, we were originally inhabitants of Lake Noga. I didn't want the two supreme powers to fight, so Lake Noga flooded and became a refugee. β
"I thought that if I fled to El City, I would live a happy and peaceful life, but I didn't want to face the cold soldiers of El City. Mondstadt was silent for a moment.
Paul, Andre, and the ten trainee paladins did not say anything when they heard this, but remembered that they had fallen into a state of grief.
Feeling the atmosphere of grief, Mondstadt's voice became muffled: "Three massacres, three bloody killings, how many relatives and friends have fallen us. At the same time, we have lost so many lovely children. β
"If it weren't for our lord lowering his gaze, we would have been lying in this cold cemetery like them at this time. Mondstadt said, grief and indignation welling up in his heart.
A question came out of his mouth, and his voice was soft but loud: "Pope, will we live such a precarious life from now on?" β
"No, it won't. Paul blurted out subconsciously.
Feeling the power of Paul's words, Mondstadt didn't say much, but looked back at the cold graves.
Eight ascetics and ten trainee paladins looked in the direction Mondstadt was looking, with a determined look in their eyes.
Paul took a step forward, heavy and powerful.
"I, Paul, hereby make an oath that from now on there will only be the Church of Light that will take the initiative, and the only way to bring war and calamity to the heads of the wicked. Rather than making it affect the innocent. β
"I, Paul, hereby make an oath that I will do everything in my power to strengthen my Church of Light, so that the enemy will be afraid to hear my name. β
"I, Paul, hereby make a vow that the next time I set foot in this place, I will be the owner of this place and not forced to flee. β
"From now on, the blood of the ordinary believers of my Church of Light has been drained. β
"From now on, my Church of Light will have a place of respite. β
From now on, all ordinary believers will be properly accommodated. β
"From now on, all our enemies will live in fear. β
Paul spoke loudly several times in a row, turning the grief and indignation in his heart into an oath and venting it all.
Listening to these oaths, Andre subconsciously shouted: "From now on, our paladins will turn into the sharpest swords and slay all enemies." β
"From now on, we paladins will turn into the sharpest swords and slay all enemies. The ten apprentice paladins shouted in unison.
Touched by this momentum, Mondstadt couldn't help but blurt out: "We will follow in the footsteps of the Pope and fulfill these vows." β
"We will follow in the footsteps of the Pope and fulfill these vows. The eight ascetics shouted.
Listening to the words of the crowd, Paul's heart was neither sad nor joyful, and his eyes moved from the cold tomb to the chapel cabin.
The crowd followed Paul's gaze, and then revealed a pious gaze.
Paul walked to the cabin and stepped inside, looked at the statue of light, and bowed deeply to him: "The temporary evacuation is for the better attack. β
"Forgive us for our sins and return on his day. This place will be the holy place of my Church of Light, and it will never change. Paul said humbly to the Statue of Light.
Andre, Mondstadt, ten paladins, and eight ascetics all spoke slowly, "Please forgive me for our sins and return tomorrow." This place will be the holy place of my Church of Light, and it will never change. β
As soon as the words fell, the light of the idol shone brightly, and the vast divine power surged like a wave.
Seeing this scene, Paul couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and his expression became even more pious: "My lord"
"My lord. AndrΓ© and Mondstadt also spoke loudly.
Ten probationary paladins and eight ascetics shouted in unison: "My lord"
The light on the idol converged and intertwined in front of it, revealing the teleportation cornerstone.
Looking at the revealed foundation stone of the teleportation array, Paul seemed to have an understanding for a moment, and bowed to the statue of light again: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness." β
After that, he walked to the cornerstone of the teleportation array and respectfully held it in his hand.
"Back to Siegburg. Paul turned to AndrΓ© and Mondstadt.
AndrΓ©, Mondstadt, ten probationary paladins, and eight ascetics shouted in unison: "Yes"
Listening to the voices of the crowd, Paul walked out of the cabin.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked around at the cemetery and the countless cold graves in it, and at the same time secretly made a decision. Those vows will be fulfilled, and when the next time they return, there will be no power to stop them.
Thinking of this, there was a determined light in his eyes, and a majesty belonging to the Pope quietly spread, and then stirred up in the heavens and the earth.
