Chapter 503: The Road Ahead

"Is it useful to chant for these corpses?",

"The bathing of the holy light, the prayer of the priest is also just a symbol, people will not always have good luck because of the prayer of the priest, but people want to hear the prayer of the priest, they want to be bathed in the holy light, and the priest of good character is also happy to pray for the people, why is that?",

On the plain, strewn with corpses, an old man and a young man sat on the ground against the walls of Grigor .

Their clouds are light and the wind is light, and the gloomy clouds of heaven and earth constitute a peculiar picture.

The young man was Roger, of course, but the old man was Cardinal, the Grand Priest Saffield.

This unexpected encounter was a surprise for both of them.

They weren't a friendship at all, and it was just Adams's love affair that Saffield had helped Roger, but now it's completely different.

Roger doesn't have many friends, and there are few who can speak.

Saffield was almost old, his old friends were almost gone, and many of his family and children died in the calamity of Gregor.

Although there is a huge age difference, the two have gone through vicissitudes, and meeting at this time is like meeting an old friend.

Roger laughed: "People always like nice words, and pastors like to feel needed, which is just a psychological comfort".

Saffield smiled kindly: "That's why I have served the Holy See for half my life, there is no magic in this world that can make people always lucky, there is no magic that can make the soul rest, but there is someone who can make you believe that there are always good things happening in the world, and the priest is such an existence",

"Plus the teachings of the Holy See. It will be much better."

Saffield nodded.

Roger sighed: "It's a pity. Now, even if a hundred pastors prayed for me, I don't believe anything good would happen."

"The prayer of a pastor exists because of the weak, it makes the weak believe in themselves and thus become strong, you are strong, you don't need a pastor",

Roger smiled silently.

Saffield said, "The strong are always brave enough to face all the cruelty in the world." It is not your responsibility, but if you take on everything, the sheltered people will thank you and you will be duly rewarded",

Roger laughed again, only this time with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Is it? Candin's trial, the god of slaughter not long ago, those who were protected have gritted their teeth and cursed me to death."

"Man will be deceived for a while, not for a lifetime. The people of Candim have also begged your forgiveness when they came to their senses, haven't they?"

"That's not because they realize they've done something wrong, but because only I can save them",

Speaking of which, Roger couldn't help but be angry.

Saffield said gently, "It's also the reward of being strong, isn't it?"

Roger smiled dumbly, fiddled with the grass on the ground, stood up and said, "I should go, I'll come to see you later",

"If there is an opportunity", he added.

Suffield stood up and folded his hands.

"Roger, you're not alone",

Looking back, he saw that there were some more faces on the city wall at some point, Liuyun, Ah Lian, Nero, these people who were not familiar with each other cast a look of trust and respect at the critical moment.

"Roger, if this path will make you intolerable to the world, the door of Gregor will be opened for you",

"The road ahead is long, the steps are difficult, move forward carefully",

By the time Igniz returned to the base camp, Luo Jue had already returned.

He also carried two strange-looking men, one wearing a fox mask, with a long body and slender fingers.

A boy who looked to be only eight or nine years old, he put his hands behind his back in an old-fashioned manner, and the three of them quietly looked at the map spread on the ground, and occasionally talked a word or two.

Behind them was a neat Shane army, eight thousand men and horses, infantry and cavalry, all well-disciplined and well-armoured.

This is clearly Shane's ace army.

Liana was about twenty paces away from them.

She looked at Luo Jue by chance, and there was a little jealousy in her eyes.

It's also the first time Ignaiz has seen Luo Jue, but he feels cold in his heart at a glance, and it's the first time someone has made him feel uneasy when he looks at it.

"Is he Roger's father?",

Igniz asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.

Although Liana had betrayed him not long ago, it was obviously better not to make too much of a fuss at this time.

Liana chuckled, "Roger's father is also the most mysterious and powerful of the Nine Brains",

Igniz said, "So your old boss?",

Liana shook her head and said nothing.

Ignatz laughed and said, "It shouldn't be, if it was, you wouldn't have dared to plot against Roger if you were given a hundred guts",

Hearing him mention this stubble, Liana couldn't help but be annoyed, and was about to taunt him a few words, but saw that Luo Jue had already closed the map, and the two of them were busy quiet.

Luo Jue walked over quietly and said, "Igniz, are the four teams sent by Roger back?"

"It's all back," Igniz said stiffly, wanting to say more, but there was a mess in his head.

He was a little surprised, it was obviously the first time they met, but looking at Luo Jue's appearance, he seemed to know himself very well, and he also knew a lot about the crusade and recent actions.

Luo Jue nodded: "The Crusaders are regular troops, and they no longer have to carry out the task of cleaning up zombies, nor do they have to mix with killing machines."

"Yes",

Igniz was overjoyed, but Luo Jue immediately poured a basin of cold water on it.

"The Crusaders and the Shane rebels are united, and you follow the instructions of the spirit boy and immediately go to the Norman line",

For a big warlord like Igniz, military power is life, and Rao is afraid that he will have to frown at this time.

"This seems a little inappropriate", if someone else said this to him, he would have jumped to his feet a long time ago, but in the face of Luo Jue, he didn't dare.

Lingtong glanced at him and seemed to smile.

Luo Jue said: "Is it appropriate for you to discuss with the spirit child, Liana, you wait here, Diqi will come later, you clean up the zombies with him, he will obey your dispatch",

"Yes",

Liana was obviously pleased with this arrangement, and glanced at Ignatz, whose eyes were full of mockery.

Luo absolutely turned a blind eye to their small actions, and said: "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be defeated, you just need to do what I explain to you, and completing the task is a credit, I will not care about your previous mistakes, but if anyone makes a mistake, I will settle them one by one after the war",

Igniz and Liana were in the same mind.

Looking at his cold back, both of them knew how heavy the pressure would be.

"It's time to go, fox",

The fox nodded, and his feet rose to the ground.

Luo Jue tightened his strap, and his figure gradually disappeared into the east. (To be continued......)
