But how could the enemy possibly let them escape?
Within a range of four hundred feet, the terrifying repeating crossbow could almost penetrate the human body, and the dense military formation became the best slaughterhouse at this time, and the crowd was running, crowding, fleeing as far as possible...... But they are far from being faster than the arrows...... When the people in the outermost circle escaped the range of the arrows, in the four windows of the carriage, the rumbling and trembling continued one after another, and at least more than a thousand arrows were sprayed in a short period of time, which was already an unimaginable fatal blow for this team, and those who were far away could still try to escape, and those who were too close seemed to have nothing to do but die.
Even surrender is impossible.
"The morning light is above, and it is indeed the power of the devil......"
The brutal killing made the two Astral Apostles cry out in surprise......
Unable to emulate Edward's divine powers, and without the same powerful strength as Iriel, their spatial gate had a large error, and they could only make many adjustments to achieve their goals, and their arrival was much later, but they just took this terrible scene into their eyes.
The Astral Apostle named Julian spread his wings of light and was about to rush downward, but at this moment, an invisible force expanded around them, pressing down, locking all their movements in it!
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm going to rescue ......" The human voice echoed in his ears, making Julian tremble in his heart: "Do you know those people are innocent? Or are you going to help the side with more people and attack the side with fewer people?"
"Let go of me. You madman, don't you see those people being slaughtered?" the Astral Apostle struggled in exasperation. But the human voice was unhurried, and it came into his mind one by one: "So, you want to participate in the war?"
"It's not war, it's a massacre!"
"It's part of the war. β
"Do you think it's better to have a longer war or a shorter war?"
The man's question made each of the three angels hesitate.
Of course, this question does not need to be discussed.
"The more we can end the war, the better. The sooner the war ends, fewer people die, more food is left for farmers than for war, more steel is used to forge agricultural tools rather than weapons, and more people are used to reproduce, so as long as the war can be ended, the sooner the war is ended, the better. So the more brutal the war is, the more effective it will be, so that the rest of the people can't resist and will die less, or, do you think the more people who die in the war, the better?
"The massacre of prisoners of war is not part of the war at all. This is a senseless crime!"
"Everyone on the battlefield is guilty, and if you don't have the consciousness to kill, don't think about killing others. β
Morality is nothing more than a human prescribing thing to facilitate the judgment of most people. Edward scoffed, "Consider this example: a catastrophic magical plague has befallen the village of Valu. The only cure for this disease is to use the Sacred Wood Heart in the Warw Forest. But the Durids of the Valu Forest believed that the sacred tree was not to be defiled. They decided to stop the villagers who were coming. Okay, so which side of the villagers is evil here to protect their loved ones and the druids to protect their gods?"
"Of course it'......" Julian opened his mouth, but then froze - because the other party's ambiguous question related to faith and the value of life, there was obviously no standard answer at all, and no matter which one he answered, he would only be ridiculed by humans.
"Do you have to find such contradictory examples?" Ariel sighed softly, and the man's hateful smile reflected in his golden eyes: "If your so-called god of faith is good, I think he will definitely rescue the plague first, instead of sitting on his so-called holy relics, otherwise, the people who believe in him will probably be deceived to a certain extent." β
She stood quietly in the sky, the breeze blowing the legs of her white robe, but her golden silk hung like silk, corresponding to her fair and heroic countenance, like a natural landscape with her surroundings. But when she is so deliberately unpretentious, that kind of beauty is full of awe-inspiring atmosphere, which makes people intoxicated and subconsciously wants to obey her......
But a certain human being, unmoved.
"Is it true? If you don't save people, it's a cult? Then I remember seeing such a thing when I happened to go to the Longkong Forum before. Say a chivalrous ...... Well, a paladin came to an island, and a group of people who looked like wild beasts on the island welcomed him, but when he ate, he found that the pot was stewed with human babies!"
The human slyly smiled and threw out an even more tangled master-level story:
"So he was very angry, but under the explanation of the local creatures, in the end, this thing is the fruit of the tree, not the body of a real person, but the internal structure is exactly the same, and when this fruit is ripe, it also has a certain intelligence, so ah, how do you think the holy warrior should choose?"
β...... How can this be reasonable? This and this...... I don't really understand, but that so-called dragon altar is definitely a place where evil gathers! Write this name down on me, and I will immediately confess it to the Father, and ask him to burn this place of fallen darkness with light!"
"That's where the light of your Father can't shroud:
"How could Your Majesty create such an evil and cruel species, even if it was really created by an evil god, the Father would destroy it immediately......" Ariel stared at the hateful human being, his voice as cold as the polar ice wind: "Well, if there is a faint possibility for me to meet, I will show the Father God and ask him to make a public opinion." β
Edward touched his head, and suddenly felt that this argument was indeed untenable...... If you can use divine power, you will naturally have communication with God, and the things that people can't solve, and the crimes that can't be punished will be thrown to the gods to judge. God says that if there is sin, he will judge, and God will forgive if he says that there is no sin. The paladin just executes, where is there so much nonsense?
"So, if your God says, "This is sinless, and you can eat it, will you eat it?"
"Shut up. Your purpose has been accomplished. β
Iriel's sigh drew everyone's attention back to the battlefield. And by this time, the killing was over.
Two thousand soldiers, only a few hundred remained, kneeling on the ground in a mess, trying to crawl slowly outward, but by this time, the palpitating sound of metal grinding had died down. Only the sound of horses' hooves began to echo. More than 100 scout cavalry surrounded them in a thin circle, and with the knight's sword in their hands, they drove away the group of people who had completely lost their fighting spirit, forcing them together like shepherds.
However, Edward's gaze did not linger on those poor people for a moment...... Layers of light swirled around his eyes, outlining the disturbances of the energy around him......
Thousands of humanoid shadows swayed in the air. It was also gathered, and the water fell slowly into the carriage.
This is the secret method of collecting souls.
This is also Edward's purpose.
Thomas's half-plane is hidden and hard to find, but he still needs something. And when there is a need, it is impossible to cut off the connection with the outside world. So it's not hard to find him β just have a suitable bait. Edward didn't show his feet, not to mention Thomas's need for a soul today. It's huge.
A black glow flashed through the space.
The cavalry pulled the reins and drove all the remaining survivors to the corners of the battlefield, and for those who were too slow, they were directly a crossbow bolt to solve the problem, and the cold and silent movements were swift and familiar, and it seemed that they had experienced an unknown number of repetitions. Even in the process, their eyes would not have looked in the direction of the carriage, the vaguely condensed translucent textures.
But because of this, no one noticed from beginning to end, and someone watched the killing with a cold eye and intervened in this last moment.
The carriage of the carriage was a little rudimentary, obviously a very hasty product, and the four repeaters occupied most of the entire carriage, and the first half of the carriage was still divided by the wall of the board and reserved for the mage, which made the space even more stretched- The four soldiers were half-seated and half-panned back to back in the middle of the carriage, shouting excitedly because of the victory, along with the excitement of killing, and in order to take care of the needs of protection, the ventilation on the outside could only be less thoughtful for the time being, and they gulped in the air with the smell of sweat, feet and breath, and their brains were inevitably dulled.
No one noticed that the energy of nature was gathering and diffusing in this small carriage, and the next moment, the space was like a piece of paper being split in half.
When a middle-aged mage sitting in this narrow space raised his head in surprise, the two figures, one black and one white, had already stepped out of the gap in the space, so the mage's eyes were fixed in the growing black, and before he could even scream, he fell backwards like a stone and plunged headlong into the ground.
A huge eight-inch crystal ball fell from his hand, and was immediately caught by another fair, slender and powerful hand, and when it was raised, the gray-green luster densely covered the rolling Tong clouds in the crystal, vaguely reflecting the faces of a man and a woman who were falling on it.
"So what?
"Otherwise, how do you think it will be difficult? Don't worry, there are difficult times, but not now. β
The mental power turned slightly, and as the souls continued to converge from the small window overhead, and then into the clouds of the crystal, Edward's tentacles of thought stretched out, wrapped around the captive's stunned, and in a moment all his secrets had been squeezed out.
Unfortunately, it was disappointing, and what appeared in Edward's mind was a boring blank. It's that disappointing manipulation of memories again, except for a few names, the general
Edward could directly deprive the information from the minds of these people and get some information, but he quickly gave up, because the people in the I-frame were basically low-level characters, and it was impossible to know more things, especially the mage who was most likely to be close to the core was unknowable, and the level of the others could be imagined, not to mention that the armor of those cavalry hIa was stamped with the sword and shield of the Duke of Greenland. Apparently a temporary seconded from the duke.
"What are you going to do?"
Edward suddenly frowned and reached out to squeeze it. Grabbed the wrist of the Blazing Sky Divine Servant in time, which didn't prevent the long sword from swinging out of the carriage, but the circulating energy passed through, and it was still the metal inside the cart that cut a thin hole.
"These despicable evils should have been judged, and these evil weapons should not appear in this world!"
The Blazing Sky Servant's face was awe-inspiring, but Edward couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. His eyes turned slightly, and he noticed the source of the other party's anger - the carriage was sparkling in the direction where the captives had gathered, and on the other side, the light cavalry, with their crossbows and swords, were driving them in this direction.
Make a clean sweep of.
For this group of soldiers, the value of the other party is only that, right?
This big 6 on. There is no such policy as returning the captured enemy to the white...... Nobles and knights were released for a ransom, while ordinary captives were generally left unattended. If they were to be released directly, it would be possible to turn the prisoners of war into bandits.
One way to solve this problem is to sell them into slavery, and the other is to kill them altogether. The present is in pursuit of the number of souls. It's just normal for these people to be able to do this.
Edward did not have a trace of sympathy for the poor people he had killed, but he did not run to liberate them, nor did he have the heart to destroy the killing and attackβjust as any man would sympathize with beggars. But few people would aspire to make the profession of beggar disappear completely. That can only be done after the first glory is sprinkled all over the earth, and it will take at least hundreds of years of hard work and productivity exhibition.
"Are you thinking something bad?"
"What is a bad thing? Is it a bad thing to strip your soul out? or. Before I see that Thomas, I should be on guard against you for a sword that might be stabbed from behind?"
The hot breath surrounds his sense of smell,
Squeezed into this narrow space with this person, the faces of the two were barely a foot apart, so the strange smell in the air seemed to become even stronger, not the smell of sweat or lingering on the tip of her nose, but more as if it carried a kind of magic power, which made the Blazing Celestial Servant feel uneasy, and even felt the blood begin to heat up. Soon, there was a heat all over the body, and it began to flow.
"If you don't feel comfortable, then you can turn into another creature, a mouse or a cat or a dog, and then naturally you will be relaxed. β
"Why didn't you do this?"
"Because only I can become this guy, and only I am more suitable for improvisation, suitable for blending into the enemy camp, if it were you, I'm afraid that you will start firing flashbangs at the enemy's gate, 'declare war in a dignified manner?' Don't make a fuss, I don't see any advantages in this except for being able to startle the snake."
You?
Of course, or maybe I'm just a little bit smarter than you...... It's just that sometimes, a little distance, is big enough
"You, damn itβ" The girl gritted her teeth and focused, a faint layer of holy light sealing the space around her like flowing water. Her strength has actually lost its advantage in front of that human being, especially the mental barrier, if you are not careful, you will be slightly taken advantage of by the other party, even if that simple mental touch can only read the superficial thoughts, it will also make the Blazing Heavenly Divine Servant feel extremely humiliated!
"Let them go, you don't think you will be suspected?"
The passages were silent, and the ornate corridors and halls were filled with an eerie peace, and the people walked through them without encountering any obstacles...... The Praetorian Guards, which should have filled it as soon as anything happened, dissipated like a mist in the wind, and without even the occasional knight rushing towards them with a shout of valor in their allegiance to the royal family, the mighty Palazzo Sansohi seemed to have now become a dead city occupied by the undead after the guards at the gate had dispersed.
, through the delicate figure of the complex corridors...... Guess how much of it will belong to the other party's plan, and the other party's deep danger seems to have a deep purpose...... But soon he gave up thinking and sped up his degree.
The familiar power of the walk in the air was growing unceasingly, and at last it had begun to stir up the part of their spirit, and they were agitating and cheering, as if they were celebrating some state of affairs,
The marble roof and walls, as well as dozens of huge marble columns, support the foundation of this hall, and every place is meticulously carved, and the whole structure is integrated into a magnificent and solemn manner. The wide space and the top of the hall more than ten meters high are even more magnificent, showing the grandeur of this centuries-old dynasty vividly. A glimmer of sunlight that has been peeking out from the distant floor reflects each other in the snow-white marble, filling every corner with a warm glow of bright red.
A new silver point of light flickered in the center of the darkness, and the black, black, white and white gray spread over the sturdy body, and then the next moment, the condensed figure turned into gray powder that vibrated in the air, and disappeared without a trace along with the long sword in his hand...... The ash powder fell gently to the ground, where the same thing had accumulated a thick layer.
