What kind of evil can be to commit such a cruel crime?

Standing in front of the ruins, looking at the old bishop's mutilated corpse in front of him, Locks' face was as cold as ice. Not only him, but the paladins standing beside him at the moment were also heavy and gritted their teeth. They are battle-hardened warriors who have endured countless hardships and hardships, wielding swords to defeat countless enemies. But even so, in the face of this hellish scene in front of them, they still felt extremely angry.

Miscalculated!!

Clenching his fists, Locks bit his lip. Since the disappearance of the patrol he had sent out earlier, he had intensified his search and reconnaissance of that area. But now it seems that their own defenses are completely useless. The evil inhabitants were able to quietly cross their own lines all the way to the rear stronghold, and completely destroy them. And he and the others didn't know anything about it, and they didn't see the tragic situation here until they came back from the patrol, which was really unacceptable to them anyway.

"My lord, we have found traces of those evil people, please go out at once, go and destroy them, and avenge the old bishop!!

"My lord!! Please give the order, as long as we can eliminate these bastards, even if we give our lives, we will definitely not frown!! ”

At this moment, the knights standing beside Locks were already shouting, their eyes wide, and their faces were filled with uncontrollable anger. However, it is no wonder that since they came to the Dark Regions, they have never suffered any setbacks, except for a small loss at the beginning because they were unfamiliar with the surrounding situation. Even the monsters that lurked in the depths of the dark earth had no choice but to die in front of their divine brilliance and faith, and the continuous victories made these knights begin to feel complacent.

In fact, just before returning from this patrol, they were still discussing how to bring back the corpses of these underground monsters, so that the world could see their achievements in destroying evil. I didn't expect the current world to come so quickly, but the reality gave them a hard slap and swollen their faces.

"Shut up !! me"

Locks' roar echoed through the mine like thunder, and at the sound of his voice, the others tightened up and closed their mouths. They secretly looked at Locks, and then the paladin's eyes were red, and he was staring at him as if he were a fierce god. That look swept like an invisible blade, easily penetrating everyone's bodies, making their hearts shrink a lot.

“………… Go and clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses, they died in the battle against evil, and we must let their souls rest in peace! Do you understand? Hurry up!! Also, send someone to inform Archbishop Bosson that our supply camp has been raided by the Children of Darkness and needs support. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed drastically, Archbishop Boson is the commander-in-chief of this operation, as the archbishop of the Temple of the God of War, his relationship with the chief paladin has not been very good. This time, too, if it wasn't for Archbishop Bosson deliberately making things difficult, how could Locks, who was the head of the paladins, take a group of paladins to do the scout work? That's the chief paladin, the paladin who commands the entire Temple of the God of War, and the paladin is actually sent to do the work of scouts, to clean the surroundings of some dark region? If Locks had stayed in the supply camp in the rear at that time, maybe things wouldn't have gotten so bad.

And now, Locks actually has to report this matter to Archbishop Bosen, and those paladins can know what kind of situation he will face next, even if they don't have long brains.

"My lord! It's not your responsibility at all! You've repeatedly asked for men from above to strengthen the defense of your supply strongholds. It's obviously Bosen's old immortal who said that 'the threat of the dark region is not to be feared, and sending too many personnel can easily cause a waste of materials' and rejected your request, which is not your responsibility at all! ”

Hearing the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, Locks waved his hand with a cold face.

"Anyway, things have come to this point, and there's no point in going into the troubles now. In fact, it was our failure to hold the supply stronghold, and the death of Bishop Alex Tour, which is inescapable of being responsible. At this point, we can only do what we are supposed to do. ”

At this, Locks straightened his face again.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and do what you have to do! Do you understand?!! ”

“………… Be. ”

Seeing Locks' appearance, the paladins knew that their commander had made up his mind and there was no room for recovery, so they could only respond weakly, and then scattered helplessly, each of them to be responsible for cleaning up the ruins and collecting the corpses. Only one paladin remained where he was, and it wasn't until everyone had dispersed that he stepped forward to Locks' side and asked curiously.

"My lord, is this really that tricky? Although it is indeed our problem, the rear ..............."

"No, it's not that simple."

Glancing at his lieutenant, Locks shook his head, his face becoming more gloomy as he stared at the corpse of the old bishop in front of him.

“………… The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us, those disputes on politics are handled by others. And what I'm worried about is the immediate ......... You know, this group of guys who came to raid the stronghold is not simple............... How do you think they managed to break through the stronghold? ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, the adjutant was stunned for a moment, and quickly gave an answer.

"I'm afraid it's because of the number of people, after all, this is a dark area, I'm afraid that those dark people are lurking in the shadows, after figuring out the scope and time of our activities, while our large army left here to explore, gathered a large number of men and horses to break through the stronghold. After all, this place is not familiar to us, maybe there is a secret passage or something..............."

"So, why can't you see the corpses of the dark people?"

"This ......... Probably taken away by them? They even swept away the supplies of the entire stronghold, so it was not surprising that they took the corpses with them. ”

"That's what everyone else thinks, too?"

"Yes..............."

Although he felt that Locks clearly meant something, the adjutant nodded stubbornly. Seeing Locks' eyes, he had already vaguely sensed that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Looking at the adjutant's confused expression, Locks sighed inwardly, and then he reached out and pointed to the battlefield in front of him.

"It's true that at first it may seem like our stronghold has been attacked on a massive scale and breached because we can't beat it, but that's not the case."

"What do you mean ..............."

"Look."

As he spoke, Locks turned around and pointed ahead.

"As long as you look closely, you can see that some of the corpses on the battlefield are outside the stronghold, and although the other part is in the stronghold, their location is outside the stronghold. This shows that at the beginning, the guards of the stronghold attacked the enemy head-on, and it was not until they were now incapacitated that they retreated in a hurry, but unfortunately in the end they did not have time to escape back to the stronghold, and they were killed outside. ”

"Attacking the other side head-on?"

Hearing this, the adjutant was also stunned. It's no wonder that, although there are some afterthoughts, judging from the losses suffered by the current stronghold, the strength of those dark people who came to attack is extremely strong. The guards at the stronghold were no match at all, and they dared to attack......... Is this going to announce that you have a special trick to do death?

"Moreover, I checked the call for help signal in the stronghold, which is very complete and there is no trace of damage. But it doesn't turn on, what do you think that means? ”

"This ..............."

"Bishop Alex is a very cautious man, I have spoken to him a few times, and I am very comfortable that he is in charge of the management of the colony. But even he didn't choose to ask for help at the first time when he encountered the attack, so it can only be said that the opponent's strength is not strong, at least it doesn't look strong. Perhaps Bishop Alex even thought it was a harassment of the stronghold by ordinary dark people, so instead of calling for help immediately, he ordered the guards to attack the other side - because he believed that the strength of his stronghold was enough to destroy them. ”

Rocks waved his hand as he spoke.

However, he miscalculated, as can be seen from the battlefield in front of him. The guards sent out were hit by a devastating blow, which caught the old bishop by surprise, and he hurriedly summoned the rest of the men back in an attempt to save the living forces. But in the end, he failed, and the other party completely wiped out all the living forces in the stronghold. I'm sure the old bishop is also holding back and can't get out, but it's strange......... Even so, with the prudence of the old bishop of Alex, it is impossible for him to send everyone out to fight, and he will definitely keep people in the stronghold in case of accidents..............."

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!!"

At this moment, suddenly, a shout came from the stronghold. Locks looked up and looked towards where the voice had come from, only to see a paladin running towards him with a pale face.

"No, no, it's in the stronghold......... There are corpses............ And ........."

"Calm down!!"

Looking at the paleen face of the paladin, Locks reprimanded him with a straight face, and at the same time glanced at the adjutant next to him imperceptibly.
