Chapter 341: Decisive Battle (5)

Krylov III stood up from his seat with a grim expression, "That paladin...... What do you want to do?"

Through the [Detection Eye], Krylov III saw the man standing between the two armies, each holding a mirror, and behind Krylov III, the nobles looked at each other.

An old mage sitting next to Krylov III had a pipe in his mouth and smiled with interest.

He chuckled and whispered, "Oh, young people now, it's really interesting......

The commanders frowned, and instead of giving the order to stop, they let them continue to advance, not only the army of Krylov III, but also the army of the Marquis of Elfaro.

"Stop!"

Grush stood in the middle of the battlefield and let out a roar: "Stop me!!"

"Stop," ...... Marquis of Aroella's voice reached the commanders, who hesitated for a moment before ordering the army to halt.

Krylov III turned his head in confusion, and then he heard his wife's father say indifferently: "Your Majesty, this distance is enough, after all, we have not done pre-battle encouragement, and if we let them engage the enemy army at this time, it is very likely that they will fall into a state of low morale, so I ordered them to stop." ”

Krylov III pondered for a moment, then nodded, "In that case, then do what you want! Anyway, everything went according to plan, didn't it?"

Marquis Aroella's expression was solemn, and he bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, everything is going according to plan!"

Then, they turned their attention back to the mirror they were holding, ready to see what the 'legendary paladin' was trying to do.

Shortly after the cessation of Krylov III's army, the army of the Marquis of Elfaro, after continuing to advance for a while, also stopped its advance.

Unlike the somewhat noisy royal army, the armoured soldiers on the other side remained silent, staring at Grush with their cold eyes, and under their eyes, a trace of disgust and resentment was completely unnoticed by the holy warrior who had already achieved a 'legend'.

Grush breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both sides had stopped advancing.

Although he knew that it was most likely not because of him, but that the commanders of both sides had them stop advancing, so they stopped.

But there is no doubt that the situation is not the worst compared to the possibility of no conversation at all.

Grush looked left and right, and saw that both armies were standing at a more restrained distance, at which neither sergeant would cause a war because of the other's provocation.

The paladin pursed his lips, brewing emotions and words, but then he found that at such a time, no matter what words were pale, both sides were ready, and the commander gave the order, and the soldiers on both sides would rush towards their enemies without hesitation.

At such times, no matter what he said, Krylov III and the Marquis of Elfaro would not stop the war......

Still, he wanted to give it a try!

"Stop this war, two!"

Grush roared, will tearing at his throat and commanding it to roar.

The shouts of the paladins echoed across the wide plains, causing everyone to be stunned.

"Ha, what did he just say, what did he just say? Let's ...... Well, let's stop the war?" After being stunned for a few seconds, Krylov III covered his eyes, couldn't bear to look at them, and laughed, "Hahahaha...... Oh my God, there are such interesting people in this world...... It was so much fun!"

"Young man, are you going to stop the war?"

When Krylov III laughed angrily, the voice of the Marquis of Elfaro also reached the ears of Grush through the rune gems that kept the [Communication] and [Phonology] constant, and even the soldiers of the royal army heard the voice of the Marquis in addition to Grush.

They were all shocked by Grush's words, and looked at Grush in disbelief, like a madman, and couldn't understand why he would say something like that.

Grush took a deep breath, looked resolute, nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Marquis Elfaro, and His Majesty Krylov III, I hope you can stop this war!"

“...... What reason do you have for us to stop this war?"

Krylov III laughed angrily, and in a fit of rage, he let out a roar: "'To the gods be to the gods, and to the mortals', this is the promise given to us by the 'gods'?! This is a war for mortals! This is a war to decide royal power! This kind of thing - how can you make trouble?!"

"Because I don't want to see anyone die anymore!"

Grush pointed to his head and was furious, "I saw starvation, I saw life, I saw farmland burned - I saw death! and 'death'!!"

He pointed in the direction of the royal army, which was the direction he had come, "Along the way, I saw children who had lost their parents, I saw bandits who wantonly plundered villages, I saw armies that burned and looted in the name of 'war', I saw that the flames of war had spread throughout the country, and the cause of all this was a 'foolish' war!"

"Oh, what a joke......" Krylov III sneered, and did not bother to speak to Grush again.

Then, the Marquis of Elfaro also asked rhetorically: "You say that this is a 'stupid' war, then I think you have long been tired of it, in that case, why didn't you stop us earlier, but let this war continue?"

"Because I'm afraid of ......"

Grush's face tightened, and his eyes kept flashing, "Because, I was afraid of death!"

"I'm still scared ......," he said, taking a deep breath to soothe the tension, "but I think I should give it a try—I want to stop this war, so here I am!"

The sneer froze on Krylov III's face, and the arc of ridicule curled up with anger gradually bent, and Krylov III refocused his attention on the paladin in the mirror.

Under the solemn gaze of Krylov III, Grush said with a resolute face: "Because I can't keep watching people die, I'm here, that's all!"

"I have come here in the name of 'Grush' - not in the name of the 'Hand of Justice', not in the name of the priesthood, but as a paladin with good intentions, even if only 'hypocrisy'!"

The paladin raised his hand and pointed to both sides in turn, "I'm here to stop this war, no matter what you think, what decisions will be made!

If this scene had been in the 'Opera House', there would have been many people cheering for it.

It's a pity that this is the battlefield, and apart from the helpless and silent soldiers, there are only ruthless 'nobles'!

“...... The resources of human society are limited!"

After listening to Grush's words, Krylov III remained silent, and at this time, the Marquis of Elfaro spoke.

In a 'teacher' tone, he said: "If someone is rich, then someone is destined to be poor, maybe you don't believe it, but this is determined by the inferiority of human beings!"

"A few people hold the wealth of the majority, so some people will starve to death, some people will die of disease...... I don't deny that there are people in the human race who have a human brilliance called 'devotion', which we usually call 'heroes'. ”

"Young man - Grush, I remember you should be called by this name - just like you, you dare to stand up at such a time, whatever your purpose is, your actions are enough to make you known as a 'hero'. ”

"But there's one thing you're wrong, and it's ridiculously wrong......"

The Marquis of Elfaro stood on the towering city wall, looked through the round mirror in front of him, smiled, and said to Grush: "This war is not 'foolish'!"

Albeit...... He knew Grush couldn't see any expression on his face.
