Chapter 4: The Murderer

The Holy See, one of the largest organizations in the world, has power even higher than that of the Holy Empire. Even the kings of the empire need to perform the junior salute in front of the pope.

The Holy Maiden, with a very special status in the Holy See, although she does not have very substantial power, but in terms of status order, she is only under the Pope, and is known as a woman who worships the God of Light.

The woman of God is not to be blasphemed, and every holy woman is a holy virgin. They don't have a lot of strength, but they are indispensable for some special sacrifices.

As the spirit body of communication between the pope and the god of light, the saints not only have the beauty of the country and the beauty of the country, but also because of the favor of the gods, they have obtained the power of immortality.

No matter how old they are when they die, at the moment before they die, they will be eighteen years old, the face of their peak.

There are only four such women in the Holy See, and they are all in the depths of the Holy See on weekdays, and only when there are some natural and man-made disasters in certain places and need to be comforted by the Holy See, the holy woman will go out on patrol on behalf of the Pope to appease the people's emotions.

Although the Holy Maiden belongs to the Holy See, when she returns from the tour, the imperial royal family also needs to make some representations.

The soldiers on both sides of the pass not only have the most elite sergeants transferred from various military camps, but also a large number of knights with extraordinary temperament. The queue is neat, and it is quite pleasing to the eye at a glance.

Qin Shaofu looked at those knights from a distance, his heart full of envy. As miscellaneous servants, they are not qualified to go to the front to line up to greet them, so they can only hide from a distance and watch.

The other handymen were also excited, and their eyes were more on that convoy. With their identity, if they can see the face of the saint, it can be described as a supreme honor.

The convoy stopped around the pass, and was greeted by a dozen knights.

These dozen or so knights were all wearing five-colored armor, and their momentum was extraordinary, and Qin Shaofu was greedy for a while.

The knightly system is extremely strict, not to mention the code and morality, but also the dress is also very strict. This five-color armor, called Xunhua armor, can only be worn by lord knights.

The so-called lord knights are all people who have enough strength and great achievements to be qualified to command a 50,000-strong legion.

The silver armor worn by the current knight was even more extraordinary, with wings on either side of the shoulders of the armor, symbolizing the wings of angels. This kind of armor is called silver bright light armor, and it must be possessed by a strong man who can command a legion of 200,000 people and has the title of Heavenly Knight.

Not to mention the Lord Knights, the number of Heavenly Knights is very small. The entire Holy Empire, the total is probably only three hundred, at least they are all sixth-grade powerhouses.

These people, for Qin Shaofu, who is bent on becoming a knight, are all exemplary existences, and the excitement in his eyes is difficult to hide.

At this time, among the knights of the empire, there was also a black-armored knight who stepped forward, took off his helmet and hugged it to the side, and saluted on his horse: "I have seen the knight of Ted Heaven, and I know that the holy woman has returned, and Your Majesty has ordered us to welcome here." “

Seeing this person's appearance, the heavenly knight was quite surprised: "General Thomas, you came here in person?"

Unlike other countries, the Holy Empire is internally complex. Under normal circumstances, the king should be the supreme ruler of the empire, but the influence of the Holy See is too great, making the pope the true uncrowned king.

The struggle between the royal power and the divine power has never stopped, which makes the royal family and the Holy See seem peaceful, but in private there are all kinds of open and secret battles.

Just like this holy woman, every time the empire goes on a tour, someone will greet her, but in order to belittle the Holy See, the royal family will send some inconsequential minor officials to show that their status is more noble.

But today is different, General Thomas, one of the new five tiger generals of the Holy Empire, does not say how to do it, only speaks of power, and is only higher than him, a heavenly knight.

The royal family actually sent him to greet the holy woman, which is not much different from the king sending those princes and princesses.

Thomas seemed to have expected it, and smiled slightly: "His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Pope seem to have reached some agreement, those of us who are subordinates, we may not need to be so nervous in the future." “

"That's good news!"

The Celestial Knight nodded, waved his hand behind him, and led the convoy toward the pass alongside General Thomas.

"What is the situation in the Far East?" Thomas said softly, "There are some cases that I don't say, and you should also know that the William family, who is in charge of guarding the eastern frontier, is too powerful and is breaking away from the control of the royal family. ”

The Heavenly Knight nodded: "If it weren't for this, His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Pope would not have reached an agreement so easily. After all, if the Far East gets out of control, it will not benefit anyone. However, the situation is okay, although the William family has a tendency to become a country within a country, it still does not relax in the slightest to resist the Saracens. “

"Differences in beliefs mean incompatibility. Over the years, tens of thousands of Saracens have died at the hands of the William family, and if the Far East is lost, it is impossible for the Saracens who believe in the beginningless god to let the William family go. The stakes are clear to William Sr. better than anyone else. “

"That's ...... that's the case," Thomas was still a little worried: "Over the years, I can feel that the power of the Holy See has also weakened, and heretics have appeared all over the frontier......"

"General Thomas!"

The Heavenly Knight restrained the horse and said very dissatisfiedly, "Are you doubting the glory of the God of Light?"

"No!" Thomas shook his head, "We firmly believe that the glory of God is always there, but we also need us believers to spread it for him." We are the sword in the hands of God, and it is our duty to protect his glory and expand his territory. “

"Light bless!"

The Heavenly Knight saluted to the sky reverently, and then continued to move forward, saying as he walked: "The situation in the Far East is temporarily stable, and the Chinese people in the Linhu Basin already have a good strength, which can not only resist the Saracens for us, but also clamp down on the William family, and I am more worried about the West." “

"The lion of the Rhine has never kept its mouth shut, and it may bite Mount Moriah at any moment. “

As soon as this remark came out, Thomas was worried: "Perhaps, we can only wait for a miracle to come." “

While chatting and walking like this, when they arrived in front of the pass barracks, they suddenly heard a loud bang, like thunder in the clear sky, which caused everyone to be surprised.

A huge black shadow appeared in the sky, and if you look closely, it is clearly a boulder with a diameter of more than ten meters, flying high from the cliff and smashing towards the military camp in the pass.

"Protect the Holy Maiden!"

With a loud roar, the knight turned his horse and headed towards the convoy. This is only halfway through, and the boulder has already fallen. smashed into the barracks, the whole earth trembled, and then rolled towards the side of the pass, where the soldiers lined up densely, and suddenly there was a scream, and countless dead and wounded.

The boulder rolled to the narrowest part of the pass before stopping, and the body was crushed to the ground.

"Protect the Holy Maiden!"

Thomas drew his sword and rode to the carriage in which the saint was riding. It's a pity that at this time, most of the soldiers in the barracks were crushed to death by the boulder, and the rest were blocked on the other side of the boulder, and the soldiers who responded were less than 100.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh

On the other side of the boulder, there were screams, and even corpses could be seen thrown from that side, as if a fierce beast was biting and slaughtering.

Seeing this, a lord knight jumped on his horse, plunged a sword into the boulder, and the surface of his body appeared with the aura of war, and a bounce jumped over the boulder and fell behind.

But it was only three breaths before he saw a corpse piercing the armor fly over and fall heavily to the ground in the midst of a scream.

The sound of metal hitting the ground terrified everyone.

In a moment, however, the screams from behind the boulder had stopped, and only the gurgling of blood flowed through the cracks in the stone.

"Protect the Holy Maiden, go!"

Thomas yelled at the Sky Knights, motioning for them to go first, and lead the army himself behind. A guy who can tear apart the Lord Knight in an instant, I'm afraid that his strength has reached the eighth or even ninth rank of the ground level, and it is definitely not something that his own group can deal with.

"Light bless! “

After giving the order to one of the lord knights, the knight turned his horse's head and faced the boulder with Thomas.

He is a holy heavenly knight of the Holy See, who can be defeated or killed, but he must not escape easily. For a knight, it is better to die than to die with a stab in his back that runs away without a fight.

The knight of the lord was given the order, and without further ado, escorted the carriage away. But after walking only a dozen meters, I heard a long roar, and saw a tall figure jump on the boulder, leap forward, and fall towards the carriage.

"Not good!"

The Heavenly Knight exclaimed, and before he could make any movements, he saw the figure smash on the Lord Knight escorting him like a meteor.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the war horse was killed, and the lord knight fell to the ground, and before he could come back to his senses, he saw that the figure was like a giant ape, grabbing his legs and pulling him, and tearing him in half.

is so fierce, everyone gasps, this kind of strength is definitely one of the few masters in the world.

The man was tall, two meters in size, extremely strong, and his skin was slightly dark, like a black tower. With a hooked nose, a large beard, and unkempt curly hair, he was not the Saxons and Germanic of the Empire.

"Queen, princess or something, Lao Tzu has slept with more women in his life, so he sent the holy woman of the Holy See. The woman of the false gods, Lao Tzu wants to try it. “

In a burst of laughter, the man struck at the guards around the carriage. This person's strength is extraordinary, the ninth rank of the ground level, which is beyond the reach of ordinary manpower, how can those ordinary guards stop it. But in the blink of an eye, there is no one left to die.

By the time it landed in front of the carriage, the Heavenly Knight had already ridden over and killed him.

"Light bless!"

That sword condensed the power of light and turned into a snow-white sword, which was extremely powerful. The people who can be heavenly knights are at least the sixth rank of the ground rank, which can be called a thousand enemies.

It's a pity that he is facing a murderer who is a nine-rank and can be called a murderer of ten thousand enemies. actually reached out with one hand and directly took this terrible sword with his flesh palm.

The impact of power caused a strong wind to blow, sweeping away the messy curls in front of the man.

After the Heavenly Knight saw the face of the person who came, he suddenly exclaimed, "You are Assad?"

"It's Lao Tzu!"

The big man let out a long roar, spit out the strength of his hand, grabbed the heavenly knight and the sword from the horse, and then smashed it on the ground.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and a big pit appeared on the ground, and the Sky Knight was lying in the pit, his upper body was blurred with flesh and blood, and there was already only air intake and no air out.

The carriage was swept apart by the waves, and a graceful figure dressed in white was swept away directly with the fragments of the carriage, and landed on the grass pile not far away.

Qin Shaofu, who was hiding behind the haystack, suddenly felt the cold hairs on his body stand up.
