Chapter 40: The Saint Slayer of the Demon Cavalry

It was a normal autumn morning, and the rooster had just finished reporting the dawn, and the sky was still gray and not very bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe bloodshed of the past few days has added a touch of haze to the sky of Dawn City.

Compared to the other counties of Auroville, the city walls are shorter than those of other counties due to the very few times it has been affected in history. The Tanthus-style Bray Castle in the city was also a walled complex of buildings, as opposed to the fortified stone fortifications of the other counties of the Rohan Empire.

One day the bandit soldier standing on the wall licked his chapped lips to replenish the moisture it had lost. The good soldier gazed with most of his attention to the north of the castle, and at the same time secretly and greedily scanned the chic buildings of the castle of dawn with the admiring light of his eyes. No lord in Fal-Easton, divided for more than a thousand years and at war, dared to make his own buildings so magnificent: the tasseled towers, terraces, pavilions, pavilions, and the connecting corridors of wood and stone between them form an inseparable whole. However, from the soldier's point of view, although the sight gave him a powerful visual impact and extremely gorgeous enjoyment, in terms of practicality, the castle and its outbuildings were clearly not suitable for defense.

Suddenly, there was a uniform sound of horses' hooves on the Northern Boulevard, and if it weren't for the loud noise, the soldiers would have mistaken it for the sound of a horse. The sound immediately drew the soldier's attention to the north, and the first thing that caught his eye was the banner of the Celestial General's army and horses held high in the hands of the knights, as well as the wand banner of His Majesty the Red-robed Pope and the anti-cross banner of the Church of Redemption. His gaze followed the flagpole downward, and he saw the knights holding the banner aloft, they were dressed in silver armor, and the horses also wrapped in silver armor were followed by the servants with shields and spears, and the city guard of the North Gate was leading a group of soldiers behind them.

Before the soldiers could carefully distinguish the legion emblems on their spears, the gates of the Castle of Dawn opened, and the commander of the city defense of Auroville had already rushed out. He was still about ten paces away from the black-scaled knight in front of him, and then he threw himself on the ground reverently. This action immediately startled all the soldiers on the city wall, and when they looked closely, they immediately saw the belt of Mithril and the emblem of the Great Sanctuary of the Silver Moon of Icarus from the bodies of those knights, which were the demonized cavalry beside the red-robed Great Pope!

The knights stopped five or six paces in front of Major General Mimakash, who hung his head and moved back a little distance with his knees before slowly standing up, turning back and shouting loudly towards the wall:

"Holy blessing of the Pope! Attention all, all men, lay down their arms and shields, stand upright! Salute! No! It is not a military salute, it is a religious salute!"

The soldiers on the city wall froze as if struck by lightning, and the silence lasted only a short moment, and then it turned into a uniform sound of unarmouring, and everyone fell to their knees with a thud, and began to pray the scriptures, and made a cross on their chests with their right hands.

The blue-haired knight at the head dismounted on a red-haired man who had served as a dismount for him, and his golden helmet flashed and came to Mimakarsz. The major general was about to kneel down again, but he held him up with his hand.

"Holy Father, may the Lord grant you eternal blessings! Your Excellency Major General, there is no need to make a big salute, His Majesty the Pope is not here. ”

"Huh?" said Major General Mimaka Stesh with a surprised expression, his body frozen in a position of wanting to pounce. Didn't the demonic cavalry claim to never leave the Pope's side? The current young knight in his early thirties was Mittkad Pasakaria, the famous deputy head of the Templar Order in the Sanctuary.

The blue-haired knight shook the scroll in his hand: "This time we are here as special envoys of His Majesty the Pope and His Majesty Chris, and it happened suddenly, so I didn't inform you in advance, sorry." But first, would you like to introduce the Supreme Commander of the Holy War, His Excellency General Musang Zhuozhuo. ”

"Ah, yes, yes!" said Major General Mimakalstesh with another salute, then bowed down and invited the demonized cavalry into the city, glaring at the commander of the north gate behind the knights, who showed his helplessness with an innocent look, and then led the team back to his post.

Major General MimakalsteΕ‘ stretched out his hand to summon a clever subordinate and whispered to him: "Go and inform Your Excellency the General, oh no, inform the Lieutenant General, Lord Mittcade of the Holy Capital Icarus is here, let me call Your Excellency, and I will wait in the hall with them!"

The soldier vanished without a trace, and Mimakarstesh reverently followed the demonized cavalry.

General Musang Zhuo was sleeping on the bed with the soft body in his arms when he was woken up by a fierce knock on the door.

"Who?" he asked, angrily, and then immediately became aware, "it's you again, Karbuddisdaf!

"Your Excellency, get up, hurry!"

"What's so anxious. General Mu Sang Zhuo yawned, "The battle readiness plan of the legion and the next battle plan are in the third drawer on the right side of my office, and the key is under the flower pot on the east side of the room, I wrote it yesterday, you go get it yourself, let me sleep again." ”

"Your Excellency, someone has come from the Dark Sanctuary, and the leader of the Demonized Cavalry Legion, Mistress Mittkad Pasakaria, is here!"

As soon as the white-haired elf finished saying this, he suddenly heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the cloth tearing in the room. According to the rare Mu Sang Zhuo Great General's humming voice, "Can I not go to see him?"

"Knowingly...... Your Excellency?" asked General Karbudisdaf, puzzled, he could imagine the scene in the room at this moment, and the elf's reserve made him dare not rush to push the door.

"Ah, what a hate, why him?! I'm fine, wait a minute, I'll be here in a moment. The general's voice was a little flustered, and it didn't match his usual cold tone.

"You'd better simply take a shower!" suggested the white-haired elf. It's always not a good idea to take a woman's body scent to meet the demonized cavalry, and legend has it that Lord Mittcard is more disgusted with women.

Unbeknownst to the white-haired elf, the Great General Musang Zhuo Zhuo who was across the door struggled to get up from the ground at this moment, and hurriedly covered Lynoa Wari's body on the bed with a torn quilt. Then he wrapped himself in a cloth and ran towards the bathroom, putting his slippers on backwards.

"Damn, it's depressing bad news early in the morning!" Mu Sang Zhuo rinsed his mouth, and with a lot of force, the cup was crushed for him. He had taken care of his personal hygiene, and when he appeared in front of Karl Budistav, half a quarter had passed, and the lieutenant general had carefully brushed off a few long strands of golden hair from his general's uniform.

Karbudistav silently followed the general out of the small building, and when he was about to go out, the general turned his head and shouted for someone to bring his axe.

"Why are you going to see the Holy Demon Cavalry with weapons?" the white-haired elf asked suspiciously.

"Be prepared!" His Excellency the General threw down a sentence stiffly, and then added: "That man is a poisonous snake!"

"A venomous viper?" the white-haired elf wondered even more, isn't Lord Mittcard a model of a knight with the reputation of "Odysskar in the mortal world"? It seems that His Excellency the General is not the slightest prejudice against the Church, and it is really difficult to persuade him, my beloved Pope.

Karl Disdaf said no more, and they reached the small hall in front of the hall. Turning the wall, he saw Mittcard sitting on a high seat. The blue-haired Templar had walnut-shaped eyes and long, thin blue eyebrows that had a slightly urbane taste. The thin lips were pursed by a line, and if it weren't for the scum left over from a little shaving on his face, it would really make people doubt his gender. When it was determined that he was male, these features on his face turned into a heroic one.

The armor worn by the Demon Cavalry is the masterwork of the Icarus craftsmen: delicately hand-punched and curved gilded armor covers key parts such as the shoulders, chest, waist, hips, knees, and ankles, and the connecting parts are carefully woven with drapery dyed red. The whole armor does not reduce the defensive power, nor does it interfere with the owner's actions like traditional armor, but from the appearance alone, it is really an exquisite handicraft.

Cardinal Avilad was already in the hall scribbling something to Mittcard. When Mu Sang Zhuo stepped into the hall, the instinct of the enemy made him perceive those murderous silver eyes. He stopped his conversation, and when the bloody murder weapon that Mu Sang Zhuo had resisted on his shoulder with a few missing blades came into view, the cardinal's slightly fat body collapsed in his chair like a bag of rotten potatoes.

"Holy Blessing of the Pope, Great General, look at you, you have frightened our pious followers of the Pope. The demonized cavalry stood up and greeted with a spring breeze on his face, the scarlet cloak fluttering behind him, making this person even more heroic.

Mu Sangzhuo stiffly smiled and nodded at him, which was regarded as a greeting. He walked to the rectangular table with his trademark stride and sat down across from Mittcard. When his great axe was placed on the ground, even the table shook a few times, and Archbishop Avilad was even more frightened when he heard this voice, and his right hand kept scratching the cross on his chest, and his mouth was chanting, presumably nothing more than "Holy Blessing of the Pope" or something.

General Karbudistav saluted the Commander of the Demonized Cavalry and the Archbishop, and sat down in an orderly manner at the head of Mima Karstesz, who was accompanying him, and under the head of General Musang Zhuo, who was directly facing Avilad.

The elven lieutenant general was a little surprised as to why His Excellency the Great General sitting in Mittcard had his back pressed tightly against the back of his chair, as if he were facing a great enemy. Mistress Mittcard smiled and rested his head on his clasped hands, and looked at Mu Sang Zhuo with interest.

"My lord has worked hard from afar, I heard that you brought the imperial decree of His Majesty the Heavenly Saint Empire?" said the white-haired lieutenant general.

"Oh! yes!" the demonized cavalry pulled out a scroll with a wand insignia and a reverse cross emblem, "I'm so happy to be reunited with the Great General after a long absence, and I've forgotten what I'm doing. ”

Mu Sang Zhuo hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the scroll, and as soon as he grasped the scroll firmly, it retracted like lightning, and then unfolded it carefully.

After reading the contents of the scroll, Mu Sang Zhuo closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. Mittcard looked at the people present, and then said: "I know what is on the scroll, and I have taken the lead in explaining it to the two Majesties for you, and there must be a deep meaning for you to stay here. ”

"Oh, that's thank you. Mu Sang Zhuo said lightly, his silver eyes swept towards Avilade, and the archbishop's heart was shocked.

"You don't have to blame the cardinal. The commander of the demonized cavalry noticed the killing intent he revealed, "He is also for the Heavenly Saint Empire, for our 'holy war'. ”

"Hmph, people who don't understand military affairs know how to toss blindly!" Mu Sang Zhuo stared at the archbishop word by word, and the murderous aura was great. Avilad slumped in his chair, his hand sifting chaff across his chest.

"I know what you're staying here. The commander of the demonized cavalry beckoned to Mu Sangzhuo, signaling him not to embarrass the archbishop anymore, "I have already explained it to the two Majesties. But is there any reason for you to stay here other than military necessity?"

"No!" the general replied crisply, his eyes still staring at Avirad like a cat and mouse.

"Alas, people who are not honest are really unlovable. The Demonized Cavalry Commander sighed, "You know, as long as you tell you what you are embarrassed about, I will definitely help you." ”

Karbdisdaf smelled a strange smell from the words of the Demon Cavalry Commander, and he seemed to understand a little why the general was so nervous.

"You inquisitive man! Do you know you exist? I know. Where did you come from? I don't know, do you think you're singular or compound? I don't know, do you think you're changing? I don't know. Do you know you're thinking? I know. ”

The commander of the demonized cavalry suddenly recited in a subdued voice, and Avilard, who was familiar with the scriptures, immediately recognized that this was a sentence from Saint Lanchester's "Confession", but he didn't know why the commander of the demonized cavalry suddenly read the words of the saint at this time. But as soon as the pious man heard the words of the saints, he was no longer afraid.

There was a brief silence in the hall, and Mu Sang's expression seemed to be a little complicated.

"Recently, there is a pagan group called the 'Angel Believers' that has caused a lot of trouble. The lieutenant general hurriedly interjected to break the deadlock, "If we don't clear these pests, it will be difficult to secure the supply lines of our army." ”

"Ah, I've heard a little on the way. But these jumping clowns are not worth mentioning to Your Excellency the General, right?

Mu Sang Zhuo pursed his lips and said nothing, but Archbishop Avilard shouted: "Your Excellency, you must be responsible for the murder of Brother Elolin two days ago! You have been closed to me, so I don't even have a chance to appeal!"

"Shut up, you don't have the right to speak here!" Mu Sang Zhuo yelled at him, who couldn't help but lean over to the side of the Demonized Cavalry Leader, chanting the name of the Red-robed Great Pope in his heart.

"Holy blessing of the Pope, I know that you have a prejudice against Archbishop Avilard, but insulting a pope's bishop to his face like this will lead to hell after death!" said Mittcard solemnly.

Mu Sang Zhuo pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "I will capture those bandits as soon as possible, and after executing those bandits and improving the armament and logistics, our army will set out to attack Thornfield County." As long as Fernandi is destroyed, the entire southeast defense area will lose the will to resist. ”

"I believe, I believe. The Commander of the Holy Demon Cavalry said in a loud voice, "Then, I will wait for your good news." ”

The head of the demonized cavalry, Huang Yu's eyes, swept over everyone in the hall, and said in a low voice: "I still have a secret matter, which can only be told to His Excellency the General, please avoid it." ”

Mu Sang Zhuo Jue showed an extremely embarrassed look on his face. When General Karbudisdav came out of the hall, he seemed to see the general looking at him with a hint of misery in his eyes.

"Oh my God! Recently, His Excellency the Great General has become more and more abnormal. The white-haired lieutenant general shook his head, ignored the look of His Excellency the general, and walked out.

"If you have something to say, let it go!" Mu Sang Zhuo said coldly after everyone left the hall.

"Holy Blessing, Pope, you know this. ”

"I don't know!" interrupted the general rudely.

Mittcard was not angry, and said with a smile:

"Ah, though you have covered your heart roughly, I know where it has been delivered. If it weren't for this sacred emotion that drove me, how could I have bid farewell to His Majesty in the Holy Capital and come all the way to you?"

Mu Sang Zhuo had goosebumps, he couldn't help but reach for his axe, and said in a low voice: "It's incredible that a perverted bastard like you can be the leader of the Holy Demon Cavalry!"

Mittcard shook his head and said solemnly: "Love is supreme, and the Pope also praises love!" Saint Lanchester was also conquered by **** when he was young, and he indulged in lust until he was twenty-two years old, and later he converted to the Pope and wrote the amazing "Confession" at the age of forty-five. Although he had long since lost his virginity and could not use the light and power of his heavenly father, his character and knowledge still made him posthumously canonized as one of the saints of my redeeming church. ”

Although Mu Sang Zhuo didn't eat breakfast, he was almost about to vomit, he hammered the table and shouted: "If you old virgin hold back for a long time, just find a woman to love, bite me to do something!"

Mittcard somehow found a white rose, held it in his hand, and said in a low voice, "What you don't know, you will never know...... Those women, those ignorant, ignorant, irrational sensual creatures, are not worthy of my love. Men and women are two very different creatures, and sometimes I am amazed at how the Almighty Father created people who were so similar in appearance and completely different in substance. ”

Musang vomited, and Mittcard threw him a handkerchief embroidered with roses, and His Excellency immediately left the handkerchief as if he were running away from the plague.

"Please, I'm going to complain to His Majesty the Pope!, I'm going to complain to the Pope!" said the general.

"Go and sue, so that all of Cadmani will know my feelings for you. ”

Mu Sang Zhuo wiped the food residue from his mouth, and as soon as he raised it with one hand, the giant axe went up to his shoulder, making a posture of wanting to cut people. The commander of the demonized cavalry sat still, his slender stabbing sword still lying in its scabbard. He was still playing with his white roses intently, as if he was oblivious to Mu Sang's remarkable posture.

Although Mu Sang is cruel and easy to kill, he has always been unable to deal with those who have no power to fight back. Besides, the commander of the dignified Holy Demon Cavalry called himself to cut like this, he didn't care, but he was afraid that Karbudisdav and Mima Karstash would be unlucky.

"Your Excellency, Great General, is as majestic as the intricate sculptures of Icarus. "This courage and strength are a hundred times lovelier than those weak and helpless women!"

Mu Sang Zhuo roared like crazy: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in men at all! There are a lot of fierce men in my army, do you want me to introduce you to a few?"

The commander of the demonized cavalry sighed and said, "Those ordinary people, where can they be as heroic and outstanding as His Excellency the General? Besides, it is really a very fulfilling thing to conquer a man who has conquered countless women. ”

Mu Sang Zhuo vomited again, and when he had nothing to vomit, he staggered to his feet with an axe, and shouted through gritted teeth: "I'm sorry, I'm busy with official business, so I won't play with you, goodbye, Demonized Cavalry Commander!"

Mitkad stretched his legs and looked at Musang Zhuo, who had fled in the wilderness, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

As soon as Mu Sang Zhuo stepped out of the hall with one foot, he collided with Lieutenant General Karbudisdaf.

"Your Excellency, what's wrong with you? I heard you yelling inside just now, didn't you have trouble with the church again?" The white-haired elf saw that General Mu Sang's face was a little not good, and quickly asked.

"Inside...... There's a perverted ...... in it," Mu Sang Zhuo climbed on his subordinate's shoulders before he stood firm, coughing.

"Pervert?" asked Karbudisdav, tilting his head sideways, confused.

Mu Sang Zhuo threw the giant axe in his hand to the ground with a bang, smashed two stone bricks, and whispered: "As early as when I was in the dark holy capital of Icarus, I thought that this guy's eyes were abnormal, but I didn't expect him to really have that kind of hobby......"

After hearing this, General Karbuddisdav smiled slightly and teased: "Your Excellency, you are really charming, both men and women! No wonder you are reluctant to go to the Dark Holy Capital, even where His Majesty the Pope is. ”

"Don't be funny! I can't eat today!" General Musang stomped his feet, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and as soon as he heard the sound of metal and stone slabs colliding, he knew who was coming.

"Oh, it turns out that His Excellency the Great General already has a heart, so I will officially start pursuing you as a knight!" said Mittcard, drawing the attention of the nearby guards for a while. They looked at each other for a long time, unable to understand what the commander of the demonized cavalry, who was covered in armor and had a white rose in his mouth, was talking about.

"Help me get him! No matter what means you use!, and prepare to send troops as soon as possible!" Mu Sang Zhuo whispered in the ear of General Karbudistav, and after saying that, he ran away against the giant axe.

"Lord Mittcard has worked hard from afar, and I have asked my men to arrange a place for you to stay, please come with me. The white-haired elf remained silent, and gracefully performed an aristocratic courtesy, leading Mittcard to a small building.

It was also the first time that the Demonized Cavalry Commander had seen this kind of Tanthus-style building. In Fal-Easton, there was not as much wood that the nobleman used in his castle. The elves living in Faliston also used wood for their dwellings, but they never used so much stone at the same time. Here, the stone and wood are split in half, as if carefully calculated. They are piled up in a seemingly chaotic but orderly manner, and the connection between the stones and the wood looks seamless, as if the wooden pillars and wooden fences grew out of these stones. This harmony made Mittcard secretly praise it several times in his heart.

His men had been placed elsewhere by the lieutenant general's men, and his knights and servants had been waiting for their master in that small building. Mittcard could see from afar that several diligent servants had begun to take care of the small building as he liked.

Before entering the small building, the white-haired elf glanced at the red-haired young man standing at the door of the small building in surprise. He held a spear much taller than him, and wore the same style of armor as the Demon Knight, but much smaller. The whole person is like an icon copied by the admirers of the great sculptor Passette Castro, which is common in the holy capital of Icarus: beautiful, solemn, solemn, and reverent. The white-haired elf walked past him, still staring intently ahead. It was only after Mittcard shouted "Andimio" that the little knight put down his spear and followed his master into the stairs with neat steps.

After giving a courtesy greeting and greeting, General Karbudisdav retired to the commander of the demonized cavalry, and glanced at the knight as he parted. The color of this child's hair really resembles that of His Excellency the General, and even his eyes are almost silver-gray.

Mittcard glanced at the exotic room, his right hand touching the clasp of his cloak. The knight named Antimio came up and folded his cloak and held it in his hand.

"There are no traps or traps. The child said briefly in a sophisticated tone not appropriate for his age.

His master nodded, reached out and pulled open the large curtain on the side of the balcony, pushed open the wooden door, and the morning sun came in with the fresh air in the courtyard.

The commander of the demonized cavalry took a deep breath and came to the balcony, where the environment made him comfortable and pleasant, so he recited aloud the verses from the "Confessions":

If you have the purest heart

Watch the decrees of the saints

Your eyes must be fixed on the sky

His fixed itinerary keeps the stars moving in peace

The light of Shamasi

It did not hinder his father and brother

Not even the Star of Order in the Northern Heavens

Let the darkness of the night sky cover his light

He saw it though

The gods and the stars slept there

He himself but

Spin on your own

Far away from the ocean, hanging high in the sky

with its scheduled itinerary

It shows the fate of heaven and earth

Night has finally come

But the star of order never stops

This mutual trust

Create eternal pathways

From above the firmament of the stars

Remove all the root of the dump and the way of depravity

This sweet harmony

Bound by the bond of order and balance

The nature of all elements

to subjugate the lowly to the great

so that all who are no longer guilty of sin

Sing the Father's name

The silver-eyed knight stood silently, listening to the Demonized Cavalry Commander finish reading the long poem. The morning sun shone on his small golden armor, and his short fiery red hair was like a burning flame.

"Andimio. His master called his name, and he came back to life from his statue. He made a cross on his chest with his right hand and bowed down to listen to his master's parable.

"It seems that our Excellency the General is in some trouble, and indeed, if the house is not cleaned, His Excellency the General will not be in the mood to fight. How I look forward to seeing His Excellency the Great General once again in battle to kill the enemy!"

Andimio listened quietly to Mittcard, not saying a word.

"Go and find the head of the 'Church of Angels' in this city, and bring his head to me. ”

The knight nodded, and with a breeze blowing, his figure vanished.

In the eyes of the Demonized Cavalry Commander, he could see the afterimage of Antimio disappearing into the sunlight, the corners of his mouth curved at an angle, and he whispered: "You must be able to do it, the third-ranked ace killer in the Church Elite Organization, 'Saint Slayer'." ”
