"It's going to end in this way, and the Knights Templar is miserable enough. ”

The Radiant Blade unloaded the two of them, then flapped their wings and flew away.

"Be careful, there may be remnants of the Knights Templar who have not yet been exterminated. But I've completed the mission, and I'm going to get the mission reward. If you get this money, you can enchant the weapon again, and as a weapon war, I said that it is really troublesome to not have a weapon in hand......"

While making noise, the Shining Dragon flapped its wings and left the ground, although it was also a nearly thousand-year-old monster, but the dragon clan was notoriously disrespectful to the elderly. Therefore, the screaming legendary powerhouse laughed and hit the mountain after flying less than a kilometer.

Wang Ming stretched: "Then, the battlefield will be handed over to us to clean up, won't the paladin's whole body armor be burned out, right?"

It wasn't just the Blade of Light who was shouting, but Wang Ming felt a little fluttering at the thought of the battlefield being full of gold.

Isn't it said that an army should be formed? A large part of the cost of the army comes from armaments, and now the ground is full of equipment, and it would be an idiot not to pick it up!

Although the light storm has dispersed all the souls of the paladins, the physical equipment is intact, on the contrary, some light attribute magic items have been solidly charged in the light storm, and now it seems that the magic weapon of the enlightened monk has opened the light, not the ordinary dazzling.

There were corpses of people and horses scattered on the grass, and Wang Ming knew that he couldn't bring them all back, but these corpses had turned into piles of gold coins in Wang Ming's eyes, so it was a big sin to let them rust in the wind and rain or let others pick them up.

As a result, he cast a manipulative corpse on the corpse of the paladin on the ground.

Twenty-two corpses scrambled to their feet. They were eleven paladins and eleven horses in full-body armor.

This most rudimentary manipulation of dead bodies is only a second-order spell. Corpses will gradually decompose when summoned. If it is broken, it will not take long to turn into a pile of scum, but if it is only used temporarily, it can still be supported until the undead walk to Rainbow City.

Of course, it couldn't be just like that, Wang Ming ordered those undead to ride on their war horses and help him disassemble the corpse equipment on the ground.

The full-body armor is actually a large metal can, and in this world where the casting technology is very backward - you don't care how the blue bolta and cation ion cannon are processed - it is impossible to create an integrated armor.

So, in fact, the armor is cut one by one. Screw on each other and connect them.

That's right, the earliest screws in history were invented because of armor technology, so war technology is a kind of paving the way for civilian technology.

Thinking of the anecdotes he had seen in some popular magazines before, Wang Ming felt a little inexplicably happy.

Drag the corpse out of the armor, because the corpse died of soul splitting, plus the time of death is still short, and the body temperature has not dropped, so it is no different from a normal person.

This is not the case in general.

If you think about it, the cost of full-body armor is so high. Rich knights may not be able to afford it, so the protection must be very good.

But. To be able to kill the knight lord wearing full-body armor, the attack intensity is bound to be terrifying, so after such a terrifying attack power breaks through the full-body armor, the scene inside must be very miserable.

For example, being gouged into the head by an axe and spear, pierced into a sugar gourd by a heavy dragon spear, interrupted by a siege ballista, blown into ketchup by implosion, and roasted into a roast by a firestorm......

In this case, the armor repair can still be used, but its original owner must have been, uh, untidy.

As soon as I took off my armor, there were a lot of blood stains, and few normal people could really bear it, even if it was a person like Wang Ming, he let go of an unlucky ghost who was crushed to death by a war horse.

His neck was bent into a strange arc, and his body was completely deformed, Wang Ming really didn't have the courage to open that guy's armor.

"Ah, it's troublesome, how can you transport more than eighty pieces of armor back! It's so troublesome to dismantle, can't you just list the loot in front of you and drag it with the mouse after the game is done?"

Xinglian came over with a bunch of food and stood beside Wang Ming to watch him work.

"Take your time, the work you're doing now is very profitable!"

It takes ten minutes to disassemble a piece of armor, and if the method of dismembering the corpse is used, it can be several times faster, but Wang Ming still decided to respect the deceased for the sake of appetite for the next few days.

But you can disassemble a full-body armor in ten minutes, and a full-body armor that costs 1,500 gold coins can make a lot of money even if it is sold for a short time.

Although it is not clear why Scarlet Moon gave herself such a task, and she still sent someone to save the scene at the end, this did not prevent Wang Ming from making war money.

Wang Ming dismantled the hand armor, revealing the knight's pale hand.

Xing Lian unhurriedly gnawed on the snow-white pickled pepper phoenix claws.

Wang Ming disassembled the helmet and carefully removed the neck connection. There was still a trace of body temperature in the neck that had lost his breath.

Xinglian opened the wrapping paper and gnawed on the duck's neck, with a happy expression on his face.

Wang Ming pried open the armor plate on his arm, exposing his bloodshot arm to the air.

Xinglian held the pig's knuckle and bit it playfully.

“...... Xinglian, don't do such a murderous thing, okay?"

"What?"

“...... It's nothing. ”

"Well, this corpse is quite intact, and if you dismantle the disembowelment one over there, my pig intestine and grilled squid will be usable. ”

Wang Ming jumped away from the corpse at once, ran into the grass and vomited in the dark.

Pacing to Wang Ming's side, Xinglian handed over a pot of water, watching Wang Ming rinse the things in his mouth with water, Xinglian finally said what was in his heart.

"Mia, I think I still need to talk to you. ”

"What...... What?"

"I asked the eldest sister to leave first, because I have something to tell you. I don't want to lie to you, the reason why I don't say it is just that I don't want to spoil the peace of now. ”

"Uh, what do you want to say"

"I ...... I'm ......."

Star Ripple, the thirteenth in line to the throne of the Paro Sea.

Fourth-Order Psychic Mancer.

Meantime. He is also a veteran warrior who rolls in a sea of corpses and blood.

The West Sea is not what the inhabitants of the continent think. The surface of the sea may attract a calm morning sun. But the dark midnight can also lead to violent waves.

After being expelled from the Paro Sea Kingdom, Xinglian began the path of a mercenary at the age of a hundred, which is only eight or nine years old when converted to the age of a human being.

Although he was unable to learn swordsmanship and riding because of the insistence of Xinglian's mother, the bloodline of the goddess of war in the West Sea was by no means blown out of thin air, and the perfect bloodline gave Xinglian the instinct to fight, and after the awakening of spiritual power, he showed an amazing killing talent early.

Reluctance to expose one's next generation to this filthy stuff. The Black Pearl Queen managed to keep Starripple away from these things.

But the bloodline can't be weakened because of the acquired education, and the artificially suppressed killing nature finally broke out after being expelled, and Xinglian embarked on the path that the queen least wanted to see.

After being banished, Starripple joined a third-rate mercenary team and fought between the Chief Moon Priest and Naga.

That time, because the Moon Temple gave a lot of money, the Psychic Master stood under the Half Moon Banner.

The blood-stained gold coins filled the broken purse, and the maiden squandered them and exchanged them for potions and weapons, and one by one the companions fell in battle. He has been injured many times, but the blood of the goddess of war blesses him. Allow yourself to stand up again and again in the pile of corpses.

For the mercenaries, death is a relief, while being alive means endless battles and endless suffering.

So Xinglian was a little envious of his fallen comrades.

A few years later, Starripple learns of the Palo Sea Kingdom, and the Parliament finally takes over the Empire's helm after announcing that the Emperor is too ill to govern.

As for the queen, she was sent to guard the north, and the fierce northern barbarian invasion kept the queen busy.

The Deep Blue Legion was disbanded, and only a small number of people still followed the Queen, and with the troops that were recruited and transferred with great difficulty, the border was maintained with great difficulty.

Xinglian didn't dare to go back, because he was no longer qualified to throw himself into the arms of the queen mother and be coquettish.

She headed north, spending time in the Aslan Foreign Legion, where Starripple's psychic storm destroyed entire fleets.

The killing intensified, and the light in his heart had long been drowned in the sea of blood.

If it weren't for the power of attorney from the Empress, Xinglian might have been consumed by the war and become a real butcher.

"But I really hate it, why should I be banished, I've just learned the lingua franca, and I haven't even had a crush on another boy, I'm ...... I haven't even been out of the palace!"

Although he was still smiling, tears were already hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Wang Ming exhaled a long breath: "Oh, so what?"

"Harlet?"

"I say, what if you kill hundreds or thousands of people?"

"You won't understand, the pleasure of blood splashing in battle, the desire to slay enemies and allies, slashing and assassinating, using psionic energy, until exhaustion, still squeezing your potential...... You ......"

Wang Ming touched Xinglian's head: "If you reject yourself because of this, then I have also killed a lot of people, how can I count it?"

"You're different, you killed ......"

"What's the difference! I killed not many fewer people on the battlefield than you, and the Naga killed by the corpse hound and the undead golem in the Temple of the Moon God are at least five or six thousand!"

"That's not ......"

"It's no different, as long as your hands are stained with blood, it's impossible to wash your hands anymore, so I never let Xiao Huang fight hand-to-hand, because casting spells is a cunning excuse. ”

"If you feel dirty, it's okay, we're all just as dirty. If you're cold, we can hug each other. ”

On the other side of the battlefield, Tolia wore a Mithril-plated half-length armor with her sword pointed at the knight in front of her.

The two knights shook their swords at each other.

"Toria, you can't win me, so surrender and I'll take you back to the Holy Land to atone for your sins. ”

The old knight seduced Tolia in a hoarse voice, and the words blessed by the enchanting humans had extraordinary seductive powers.

But Tolia was completely unmoved.

On the way back to Rainbow City, Toria asked to leave herself on the battlefield because she knew something had to be done.

It's like being an enemy of the Holy Rollland Empire, which gave birth to him, and slaughtering his former colleagues. Betraying their own gods......

"Toria. You're still young. You are the pride of the Holy See, how can you be like your ancestors and walk the path of evil?"

Toria raised her sword: "I'm stupid, but ...... After being bullied by my eldest sister and Mia for so many days, would I still believe such an imbecile lie?"

The knight lowered the tip of his sword slightly, and taught slowly in a soft tone: "Have you forgotten the teachings of the goddess?, think of the glory of God, think of the salvation of heaven......"

Toria closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. Let the slightly moist air cool your body: "I only saw a young girl corrupted by evil asking for help from the Holy See, but being expelled from the church. ”

As the political commissar appointed by the Moon Knights, Xinglian, who has strong spiritual powers, quickly adjusted the mentality of the knight girl, and now even if the goddess of light personally comes to poach the horns, it will not have any effect.

During the psychological counseling, the political commissar also told the story of Jester and his sister in detail.

Of course, it's a version that has been embellished by literature.

In that version, Jester, a teenager who originally believed in the nameless evil god, was portrayed as a sunshine. Cheerful, kind. A bright little boy with his own sunny, cheerful, kind, and smart sister who lives next to him.

One day, her sister Erin was eroded by a lich's cloud of death, and after the two escaped, they found that her sister's vitality was rapidly depleting.

What was said in the previous paragraph is true.

Jester pretended to be ...... No, he was originally a devout Goddess of Light believer, so he took his sister, who was really a Goddess of Light believer, to a nearby church for treatment, but because he couldn't afford to pay for the restoration, he was kicked out.

Feeling insulted, Jester stabbed a priest on the spot, bluffing everyone present, and it was the priests who were described as bullying and fearing the hard to treat Eileen.

Regardless of how a powerful priest who can use the sixth-level divine technique of restoration would let a little hairy child go wild in the church, in the establishment of the Holy See of Light, the priest has no ability to perform divine magic at all......

Toria, who had been brainwashed lightly, didn't believe what the paladin said at all, although what the other party said was not the truth.

"Tolia, you have to think clearly, I represent the entire Holy See, the glory of the goddess, raise your sword to me, and you will fall into hell!"

Without saying anything, the girl swung her sword, and the knight's sword wrapped in the wind element disappeared into the air, and the vague sword shadow tried to avoid the paladin's sword and burst into his defensive circle. However, the other party is a veteran of using swords for decades, and although his qualifications are average, the experience accumulated over decades should not be underestimated.

With a ding, countless sparks flew away, the two swords collided together, and the fine iron cross sword in the knight's hand was knocked out.

Apparently the knight cherished his sword, and he looked at the gap in the blade with distress, and then anger burned in his eyes.

Then, the attacks became more and more rapid.

But what's the use of it? Toria's sword is a legendary artifact that has been worn by a generation of legendary paladins for life, and has witnessed the birth of a sect, and was originally intended to be crafted into an artifact.

The more furious attacks only added more scars to his sword.

"Toria, you're challenging justice!"

"If you're righteous, then I'd rather embrace evil. ”

"Toria, don't be obsessed anymore, since God is righteous, you are already evil if you go against the will of the gods!"

Toria responded with a provocative slash and tried to knock the paladin's sword flying, but was stopped by the opponent with brute force, and sparks flew everywhere.

"If the gods we believe in are evil in themselves, how do we know if the guidance of the gods is righteous or evil?"

"Isn't it enough to prove that the goddess is a righteous god who commands us to eradicate the spirits of the dead, to eradicate demons, and to eradicate the heretics who believe in evil gods?"

Lilith, who had been hiding in Toria's left hand and had been silent, interjected, "...... Hearing you say that, I just think your goddess looks like a persecuted paranoid. ”

The knight did not answer, but continued, "But the doctrine teaches us to be humble, to help the needy, and to treat everyone fairly......

Toria chimed in, "But I didn't see anything. ”

"You say that God loves the world, but I see the Templars killing innocent people, and they are all good people. Never done anything that violates the law and morality...... Maybe it did. But they've been punished and repented, haven't they?"

The paladin clumsily argued, "This." Who knows how dark their hearts are......"

"But they are not evil, I believe we can use the light to dispel the shadow in their hearts, but why use blood to cleanse the blood?"

This time, Tolia was talking about a heresy verdict a few years ago.

At that time, a group of heretics in a remote town of the Roland Empire secretly held a festival, but they were raided by the Inquisition and the Templar troops in the assembly area, and dozens of leading high-ranking members were killed on the spot.

Wait until after the rest of the believers surrender. The paladins began to slaughter the infidels, who had laid down their arms and had their hands tied.

The stake was erected, and billowing smoke rose into the sky in wailing, and the pillar of smoke surrounding the spirits could be seen for dozens of miles.

The paladins slashed the poor creatures with broken shoes, and the holy light dispersed the bodies and souls of those people, leaving not even a bit of scum left.

In fact, that pagan religion is not a cult, but a branch of the Holy See of Light, but the branches are too different, and the gods and doctrines it worships are different. However, these so-called heretics were brutally slaughtered because of their different beliefs.

Toria was nearby at the time, and she was also ordered to assemble. And the Holy See explicitly ordered her to participate in this tragedy.

Rightfully so, she refused.

"Don't think about using the name of order as an excuse, the evil order is not worthy of being called order, such evil rules don't want to restrain me!"

After shouting these words, Toria found that the divine grace bestowed by the goddess of light was gone, and the divine fighting spirit she had worked so hard to gather was completely finished.

But it didn't take long for another voice to sound in his heart.

"Maiden, do you want to carry the true light?"

"Do you want to sign a pact with me and become a true paladin?"

Tolia stood on the spot, because the aura of this god was exactly the same as the faint divine power on those pagans.

Seeing that her sister didn't speak, Lilith interjected, "This, how is it treated?"

"Raise your paladin level to the next level, and help you with a full set of disguises to look exactly like the followers of the Goddess of Light. ”

Lilith thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to eat dead babies when you join the club?"

――――――――――――

"As a price, and as a necessary condition for me to give power, you can't be too smart. ”

"Why?

"Because my sword can't be smart enough to think about why justice is justice, and kindness is the Cheng dù of goodness. You just need to know what justice is. ”

"Uh...... Are you really a god horse of the Light Camp?"

"Not letting you eat dead babies is already giving you face!"

In this way, Tolia became a follower of a false god who claimed to be the god of light.

Since then, she has been passive and slacking off, because most of the tasks sent by the Holy See are boring.

This is the case in a country where politics and religion are combined, and when religion is integrated into the political elements, the purpose is not pure.

Until one day, she received a rescue mission, and the Holy See asked her to rescue the princess of the Duchy of Dusk Mountain who had been taken captive by the dragon.

Originally, Tolia didn't want to go, but after guessing that the real purpose of the Holy See was to assassinate the princess, Tolia took over the mission.

Everyone knows that the Duchy of Dusk Mountain and the Holy See are in a cold war, and I wish the Grand Duke of Dusk Mountain would be defeated.

Later, Tolia met a group of interesting girls in Stone Pile Town.

and a girl of male sex.

"Ahh

Thinking of this, Toria couldn't help but smile.

"Is the so-called kindness to warm up those who can be seen? My kindness will only be given to those with whom I agree, even if you call it evil. ”

Lifting the edelweiss again, the transparent sword was exposed in the air, revealing the silver-white sword body, the brilliant silver light blinded the paladin's dog eyes, under the violent light, there was no time to do any defensive action, a pillar of light more than a meter thick sprayed from the tip of the sword, and the surging positive energy drained Toria's reserves at one time, turning into a holy light that rose to the sky.

"Die!"

The paladin's sword seemed to be a chocolate bar hit by hot milk, and it instantly collapsed, and the shiny sword body turned into black spots under the background of the holy light.

Then, the high-speed flow of holy light hit the paladin's chest, lightly dissociating the paladin's breastplate.

"Heresy!"

Before he died, he was still scolding, and such a villain would be very unliked.

Under the impact of the holy light, the paladin's corpse rushed into the sky, and the pillar of holy light sprayed upwards climbed into the clouds before gradually disintegrating into a little white firefly.

"I, as long as I understand what justice is, I don't need to think about anything else......"

―――――――――――― (To be continued......)
