The night shrouded the forest, and there was no moon in the sky, only the faint starlight, and only the bright torch light shone on the surroundings, and a group of people in armor advanced through the forest at night, looking ahead, and taking a deep breath.

"The dragon slayer mercenary group is all wiped out."

A priest in silver armor sighed, and the people behind him looked at each other in astonishment.

The air was filled with the smell of blood after the Great War, and the rain did not wash away the stench of blood.

The banner that fell to the ground stained with mud, and the spear that hit the dragon had long been stained with jet-black soil, this was the flag of the entire mercenary group.

"This is really surprising, Father, you must know that the Dragon Slayer Mercenary Regiment was hired by the Grand Duke during the Seven Years' War to charge towards the Emperor's imperial army, and its strength should not be underestimated, even if it is only a branch of the mercenary group."

An attendant picked up the military flag on the ground, which was the military flag of the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Regiment that the great emperor was very afraid of, but he didn't expect it to be in his hands.

The Dragon Slayer Mercenary Regiment is a group of people from mountain countries outside the empire, which are poor and backward, and have a lot of disputes with other countries, so they have also developed the character of the local people who are brave and good at fighting.

They are the main exporters of mercenaries in this era, and they are even more involved in each other's groups, and the Dragon Slayer Mercenary Group is one of the most famous mercenary groups, if they belong to different employers, even partners in neighboring villages can unceremoniously kill them.

For the monarchs of this country, the mercenary group is a very useful force, and the dragon slayer mercenary group is the best among them, which can not only save a sum of money to raise a standing army, but also exchange it for a powerful army at a low price.

Perhaps the lack of military discipline is a big drawback, and the contradictions between mercenaries and employers in terms of remuneration are always endless, but mercenaries are indispensable if they only need to take money to exchange for a large army as support.

However, such a famous mercenary group was killed by the evil dragon and wiped out.

You must know that the people who hired this mercenary group were brave.

"Father Alfonso, I am aware of Madame Holler's breath, which disturbs me."

A man in a black robe spoke slowly, her subtle accent suggesting that she was a woman, or more precisely, a nun.

"Caution, Mother Alyssa, the pagan gods have long since fallen silent, and our main task this time is to recover the holy sword."

Father Alfonso shook his head, the iron armor he wore rattling near the silent forest at night.

Middle-aged, his expression was full of calm and resoluteness, and he looked less like a priest and more like a warrior.

There are not only all kinds of elves living in this land, but also pagan gods who are considered taboo within the church, and even the clergy who serve the gods are only mortals, and the only people who can compete with these pagan gods are angels who serve the father.

Lady Holler is one of the ancient deities of this land, having existed since the Great Father came to this land, and is now the Lord of Hades.

Ms. Holler's aura means that someone in the underworld led by Ms. Holler has escaped, and on this battlefield, it means that there are only two kinds of people, the mercenaries of the Dragon Slayer Mercenary Group and the brave men who hire the Dragon Slayer Mercenary Group.

The new recruits recruited by the Dragonslayer Mercenary Regiment in the Journey Village in order to replenish their manpower were apparently ignored by Father Alfonso. The church has an understanding of Miss Holer, and ordinary people are not capable of escaping from Ms. Holler's underworld, so they are either powerful or have the acquiescence of Ms. Holler.

Have the brave become undead? Only the Brave have the ability to escape from Miss Holler, and only the Brave have the value to make Lady Holler acquiesce in his escape.

The dead return to the world of the living, and the deceased is still a brave man recognized by the Church.

This is a scandal of the greatest magnitude, enough to expose the entire Rhine Diocese to the harshest criticism from all sides.

Mother Alyssa took off her robe, revealing her beautiful blonde hair and delicate features, and she stubbornly said, "My inspiration is not wrong! ”

"It's not a matter of inspiration!" Father Alfonso shook his head and picked up the long sword that had cut a gap in the ground, feeling a little complicated.

"Our goal is only to recover the Holy Sword, and as we all know, the undead cannot touch the Holy Sword, Father, what are you worried about?"

Mother Alyssa frowned, her inspiration was quite powerful, she was able to see things that many people could not see, and therefore had a high status on this continent.

"What if the Holy Sword chooses its master?" Father Alfonso asked.

"This is impossible, the reason why the holy sword can be called a holy sword is because it is not an ordinary sword, and the people who can use it are not ordinary people."

Alyssa said aloud, her eyes burning at Father Alfonso with a strange tone in her voice.

The reason why the holy sword is called the holy sword is because it is not an ordinary sword, and it sounds like Mother Alyssa is talking nonsense, but in fact it tells the essence of the holy sword.

The Holy Sword is sacred, it has the power to restrain the darkness and the undead, it can show its extraordinary, it has its own consciousness, and only the master who can match it and be recognized by it can truly exert its power.

There are several theories about the origin of the sacred sword, and it is claimed and popular in the church that the sacred sword was given to mankind by the gods through angels.

Therefore, the human beings who can obtain the recognition of the holy sword and use the holy sword are either noble saints, or brave people who have completed tasks that are almost impossible for mortals to accomplish and achieved meritorious deeds, both of which are not easy for ordinary people to achieve.

The former is the moral level, the latter is the strength level, and the brave Francis was promoted to the brave and recognized by the Holy Sword after completing the three major feats of slaying giants, destroying demons, and obtaining the blessing of the Archbishop of Rhine.

Neither the noble nor the brave have yet to be touched casually.

Because neither His Majesty the Emperor nor the Archbishop of the Rhine in the two dioceses of the empire, the Archbishop of Cologne is not qualified to use the Holy Sword.

"What if the situation forces it?" Father Alfonso asked rhetorically.

"Father, what do you mean by that, why do I not understand it so much?" Alyssa asked blankly.

"Under normal circumstances, people who are not saints or brave people cannot use the power of the holy sword, but if there is an undead, then the person concerned has the holy sword in his hand, and I think the holy sword will have to compromise."

Alfonso touched the dirt with his hand, which was stained with blood, apparently fresh.

"This is not enough to give full play to the power of the Holy Sword, and being able to use it does not mean that using the Holy Sword will become the master of the Holy Sword."

Mother Alyssa frowned, the nature of the holy sword determined that only those who met the requirements of the holy sword could use it, otherwise the holy sword would not even be as good as the ordinary iron sword.

If there is evil, it is theoretically possible to loosen the Holy Sword in an emergency and release its weak power, but this does not mean that it can be approved by the Holy Sword.

"Water will change because of the container, people will also change because of their status, even if it is a farmer, as long as he has undergone martial arts training, knowledge accumulation, and moral cultivation, he has the possibility of becoming a brave man, and God is always so equal to living beings."

After speaking, Father Alfonso looked ahead, his face turned pale, "Mother Elisa, although I do not have the same strong inspiration as you, my experience tells me that if we can't get the Holy Sword back as soon as possible, we may not be able to complete the mission of the diocese to let us recover the Holy Sword. ”

"Why?" Mother Alyssa asked, puzzled.

"In order to destroy evil, the Holy Sword will cultivate righteous people, and as long as the evil does not disappear, if the temporary user can continue to grow, he can continue to borrow the power of the Holy Sword, and even become the master of the Holy Sword."

Alfonso sniffed the dirt and felt a fierce battle he had experienced before, "Chase me, left front, if it's not the other party's luck, or the other party may have the ability to avoid evil, the guy who took the holy sword actually ran away, damn." ”

Father Alfonso mounted his horse and chased after her, followed by Mother Alyssa and the church deacons next to her.

Neither a morally perfect saint nor a brave man with strength and courage can be achieved from the beginning, so both types of people cannot use the holy sword when they are not qualified.

However, if someone uses the Holy Sword with this goal in order to fight evil, such as defeating the evil dragon and defeating the brave who has been resurrected against the natural laws of the world, then the Holy Sword will take the initiative to cultivate a "sword bearer" who is not yet qualified.
