Shameless rebels!

Nature's words stunned everyone in the command post, including the Wind Druid, who had fought him a moment earlier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Without anyone waiting to speak, Link turned into a white light and flew out with a "whoosh" like a magic missile that had identified its target.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, and the child of nature doesn't say a word. ”

"Could it be Julian......"

"Shhh

The commanders were talking about it, and the Grand Duke of Kolk, fearing that it would affect morale, shouted to stop the increasingly heated speculation.

"Anyway, it's not good news for us, so be prepared for the enemy. ”

The commanders nodded yes, but the doubts in their hearts did not let go.

The protagonist of their discussion, Yurian, the deputy head of the Knights of the Dawn, is experiencing a turning point that will change his life.

The desertion of the Knights of the Guards cultivated by one hand was enough to make him embarrassed and angry, and it was usually forgotten, but it happened when he confronted the undead on the front line, which made Julian feel that his face was gone, and he was carried away by anger, ignoring Bernardo's dissuasion, and insisted on pursuing the fleeing subordinates.

Out of the fortress, out of the valley, the vast wilderness was silvery white, and the blizzard mixed with the biting cold wind blew the hot mind awake. Coming to his senses, Julian soon experienced the consequences of his recklessness - he was lost. To be more precise, the positioning magic was blocked by magic, and the teleportation scroll and the positioning magic pointer carried on the body were all out of order, and no matter which direction you went, it was an endless frozen wilderness, and you couldn't even tell whether it was spinning in place, or sparing a big circle and returning.

"Deputy Commander, we're trapped. Adjutant Ari cautioned, using as carefully as possible in his words, for fear of not paying attention to angering Julian, who was already on the verge of an outburst.

Looking at the whirling pointers, Julian couldn't help but scold, "Damn the undead. ”

Of course, he knew that the current situation of the Knights was not as simple as ordinary getting lost, the undead controlled most of the area outside the valley, and they were probably targeted as soon as they left. The young and vigorous Julian relied on his skill and courage to break through, believing that even if he encountered the lord, he had the ability to fight.

"How many days is this?"

"...... shouldn't have come out"

"I couldn't find my way back. ”

"We're all going to die in the wilderness......"

The frustrated and complaining remarks rose and fell behind him, and Julian's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and he was forced to get angry several times.

This is an extraordinary time, and you can't punish your subordinates as usual at will, otherwise it will cause a bigger backlash, maybe ...... This is exactly what the enemy wants to force him to do.

He even felt that he had been designed, and he couldn't remember how he left the fortress, and when he came back to his senses, he was already marching in a blizzard in military uniform.

No one spoke, but the Knights' eyes and expressions all revealed the same message—they were extremely disgusted and resistant to the pursuit. Not only are the targets pursued by their former comrades, but also because of the bad weather and the disparity in the number of undead armies, once surrounded, with their numbers, there is no chance of victory at all.

Just as the oppressive atmosphere was about to reach its peak, the endless white wilderness finally melted into a hint of change.

"There's movement!"

The sentinel at the front sent back news that everyone was cheered up, even if it was an enemy situation, better than dead silence.

"Get ready for battle!" Yurien summoned his lightsaber and rushed to the front of the group.

A black dot first popped up on the white horizon, then gradually lengthened. Julian waited patiently for a while, and the team walked crookedly, very different from the undead who had no formation but were not loose.

"It's human......" Ari breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want a fight at all. There was little food left, and even a few men had been marching on their stomachs for days hungry, physically and mentally exhausted, and fighting in such a state would only increase unnecessary casualties. Yurian is a bold man who rarely cares about his subordinates, and these considerations that belong to the commander have to be done by him as an adjutant.

"It's not just a caravan. Julian looked closely for a while, and finally confirmed that this was a team of carriages, guards, and a large number of displaced people, and looking at the direction, it should be heading for the border town of Brenda.

"It's already winter in the north, and Brenda is still coming at this time, is the rebellion in the south so serious that it's more terrifying than the undead?" If the rebellion of the princes has reached the point where even ordinary people have to flee to the north, the imperial capital and the Holy See will not be able to send follow-up reinforcements. Damn it, the undead are going to attack at any time......

The other party also spotted the knights standing in the wilderness and quickened their pace. After a closer look, Julian became more and more convinced of his suspicion, it was indeed a mix of caravans and homeless, there were few guards, only a few people, and the faces of the people were terrified, and their eyes kept looking around.

Thinking of this, Julian's originally indifferent face suddenly became gloomy.

As he made a stop gesture, a man emerged from the caravan.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Knight. The young man, who still had a little childishness, stroked his chest with his right hand and performed a simple etiquette: "We are refugees who escaped from the imperial capital and want to go to the northern town of Brenda." The light is above, and I beg to escort us for a ride. ”

Although he was disheveled and pale, his speech and demeanor were very decent, and at first glance he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

Seeing the corners of Julian's mouth twitch, he let out a cold snort that made Ari's scalp tingle. He was well aware of the temperament of his boss, and the man who was not low in background at first glance raised the god of light, and his words were weak but implied to threaten.

"The Knights are pursuing the rebels, I can't escort you there, Brenda is not far away, you can go by yourself. "Julian never gives a good face to those who dare to use the gods to coerce him. In the imperial capital, he had had enough of this kind of behavior, but he didn't expect that someone would play this trick for him when he was sent to the northern border.

The young man also seemed to anticipate the rejection, and immediately changed his rhetoric: "We were attacked yesterday and there are a large number of wounded who need to be treated,......

"Wounded?" Yurian, who was unhappy, suddenly smiled, as if the ice and snow melted in winter, he was originally a beautiful man who was both heroic and handsome, and his tense face made him seem difficult to get close to, this sudden change made the caravan members, including the youth, have a moment of trance.

The young man, who was the representative of the caravan, quickly came to his senses, and caught a glimpse of the middle-aged man behind the knight leader shaking his head repeatedly, and for a moment, he had a feeling that something was wrong, even more terrifying than being attacked.

"Your Excellency, Your ......"

Julian jumped off his horse with a "pop", his armored feet fell to the ground, the metal collided with the hard ice, and every step made a crisp sound, even if it was blowing in the whirring snowstorm, it couldn't hide the sound that made everyone's hearts jump in unison.

"Raid, you say, in this northern wasteland where only the undead wander?"

The young man's face changed suddenly, and he immediately realized his mistake.

Although the knight in front of him wearing armor is from the Order of Light, the Knight of Dawn, who believes in the supremacy of force, is different from the soft-hearted priest, and will only kill the infected.

"Wait...... Your Excellency, aren't they ......" Before he finished speaking, a scream sounded behind him, and the young man hurriedly turned around, the carriage that was originally used to cover had been split by powerful energy, and the person lying inside had a light blade in his chest that was originally held in the knight's hand.

"Look...... What is this......" Julian's long tone seemed careless, but there was an irrepressible killing intent.

The dead wounded were dressed in the same robes and armor as the Knights on the other side, and were none other than Yurian's men who had fled. Moreover, he already had a black-gray corpse poison like mildew, which was obviously infected.

"Regardless of their status as deserters, you want to take someone who has already been infected by the undead to Brenda, do you know what this will cause?" Julian's smile was like a flash in the pan, and his blue eyes were surprisingly bright with the blessing of divine power.

"No, you listen to me...... There's a reason for that, listen to me......" The situation took a turn for the worse, and the young man hurriedly explained, completely without the composure he had before.

However, Julian would not give him a chance to explain, and examined the wagons and the crowd one by one, and the uninfected ones were driven aside, while the poor people who had the misfortune of being attacked last night were mercilessly slaughtered one after another.

The hot and humid blood stained the snow red, and many people were frightened by the scene in front of them, and they cried out one after another, and some even wanted to escape, but where could they flee, and on the way they came, they ran out of guards, and they were cold and hungry, and many of them were injured, and the civilians who had no combat power were no match for the sturdy Dawn Knights, and they cut melons and vegetables to a piece.

"How can you ...... They are still alive, how can you be so ......" The young man watched incoherently as the wounded fell one by one in a pool of blood, and the cry in his ears was no longer the wind, but full of unwilling and resentful last words.

"As the Deputy Head of the Knights of Dawn, I can. The God of Light has given me the ability to annihilate the dead, and the ability to use this Judgment Blade is the best testimony that the gods recognize what I am doing right. "Yurian, who retrieved the lightsaber from the corpse, held aloft the weapon that was considered a symbol of the status of the Knight of the Dawn, and golden pillars of light rained down from the sky, burning the corpses on the ground to ashes.

Ari tried to open his mouth several times, but he swallowed it in his throat.

Although there is no chance that he will not be saved after being infected by the undead, the desire to survive tends to everyone to live to the last moment as much as possible, and Yurian's behavior is cruel but beyond reproach, and it is the most correct choice when the situation is critical. But...... He did it so decisively that it made people unhappy, and even his colleagues found it difficult to agree with his behavior. His eyes glanced around, and sure enough, the other members of the knight order also frowned, showing a clear disgust at the deputy leader's unhesitating killing.

"Deputy Commander"

I don't know who led the way.

"Take them to the fortress. ”

The voices of plea came one after another.

"What are you talking about?" Julian turned his head, his eyes dark, "want me to spare these traitors, the inved?"

"It's not like they're out of help, there's a priest in the fortress, as long as we bring them back as soon as possible......" Ari couldn't help but join the plea in public.

"Joke!" Julian rudely interrupted the adjutant's plea, "have you forgotten how long we've been trapped in this snowstorm?" ”

As he spoke, another man was killed.

"You devil! You don't deserve to wear this. The young man in charge of the caravan couldn't help but scold.

"I've made it very clear. Julian turned the blade of light to the young man and pressed it to his neck, "This is what God allows. ”

His teeth clucked, the young man stiffened his neck, and replied without showing weakness in his eyes: "It turns out that the so-called justice is like this, no wonder the high priest is going to be killed." ”

"What did you say?!" Yurian grabbed the young man's tattered shirt.

"Why, you don't know yet?" the young man sneered, "The supreme leader of the Sect of Light, the High Priest who claims to be the earthly spokesman of the gods, was executed by the Emperor three months ago. ”

"What?"

"It can't be!"

"Emperor?"

The Knights suddenly exploded, and no one wanted to believe the news brought by the southerners.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask them. ”

Julian followed the young man's line of sight, huddled together with the uninfected outcasts and merchants, and looked at himself in horror as he was splattered with blood.

"Say!" where the blade of light pointed, everyone trembled with fright and begged for mercy.

"Say...... What do you mean?"

"Is it true that the High Priest is here?" Yurien's jaw tensed, and he felt blood gushing into his head.

The people looked at each other, but in the end, they couldn't match the eyes of Julian who were about to explode to tell the truth.

"We don't know the inside story, we only know that the emperor who cultivated in the palace three months ago executed the chief priest as soon as he came back, and scraped his head at the main entrance of the palace, saying that the high priest intended to rebel. ”

"Hahaha-" Julian let out a wild beast laugh.

In addition to his own hard work, half of his achievements today are due to the High Priest. Originally, he was just a beggar who was not well fed and clothed, but it was the high priest who brought him out of the slum and cultivated him carefully, he was impatient and stubborn, and offended many people, and the high priest settled it one by one in private, and he knew all this. The high lord sacrificed to him, it was a special one, a person whom he regarded as his father's daughter. He spent his whole life working hard to maintain relations with the empire, and was heartbroken by the war in the north, but was executed by the dog emperor who only knew how to spend time and drink.

After the rage of "No...... right, Julian regained some of his senses.

Not to mention the strength of the Grand Priest himself, the imperial capital still has one-third of the elite of the Order, how can it be easy for the emperor to succeed?

Thinking of this, Julian's eyes glanced at the young man who was still carrying it in his hand, "Seeing that your status is not low, you should know a little bit of the inside story, right?"

"Yes, I do. Your high priest did not die at the hands of the Emperor, but by the betrayal of his own people. ”

"What did you say!"

"Heh~ It's urgent, it turns out that you will be sad and sad, I thought you were a stone man without blood and tears. ”

As if to deliberately provoke Julian, the young man forcibly pressed the hand around his neck and said loudly that made the Knights' conversation come to an abrupt end.

"The emperor summoned the high priest in the main hall of the palace to discuss the war in the north, and the accompanying knight of the dawn and his subordinates rebelled, and the court mage killed the high priest. I've seen it with my own eyes. (To be continued.) )
