Chapter 690: The Faith of the Knights

Standing at the door, Henry hesitated slightly, not knowing whether he should go in at this time. He was well aware of Kaidon's loyalty to his friends and his hatred of evil, and if he knew that a righteous battle was about to start in the south to defend the elven capital, he would definitely not hesitate to give up rest and join the battle without hesitation.

You know, this is a magical war, not a petty fight between human lords, nor against a hundred and eighty goblin bandits or an orc raider of one or two thousand.

Whether it's Joan. Irenikas and the coalition side both have a sufficient number of magical creatures and spellcasters, and once they start, they will inevitably be overwhelming spells, and it is difficult to guarantee survival as a warrior who rushes to the front line, and the tragedy is far higher than that of ordinary wars several times or even dozens of times, even if the entire army is wiped out.

Henry couldn't imagine how he would explain to his family if Caton had died in this battle. And how to comfort the suffering widow?

Headache!

As soon as he thought of this, Henry couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. Just as he was hesitating, Grand Master Witherland suddenly noticed a figure shaking at the door, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Who is it?" Who's there! Come in if there's something to do, Sir Catdon is not an outsider. ”

"It's me, Grand Master." Knowing that there was no way to hide, Henry had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the house.

"Tom Bless, it's you, my friend." When Kaidong saw who it was, he immediately stood up and gave him a warm hug. "You seem to be getting a lot younger, is this the effect of some longevity magic?"

Henry smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm glad to see you again, but I've answered this question no less than seven or eight times." It can only be said to be a curse effect. However, it is not life-threatening in the short term. So there's nothing to worry about. ”

"Oh? Who could have issued a curse that would render a legendary mage as powerful as you helpless? Grand Master Witherland suddenly became stern. In his eyes, anyone who unleashes a curse on others can be counted as evil, and a guy who can give a headache to a legendary spellcaster must be an object of attention and vigilance.

"A curse related to time, very, very powerful, and equally difficult to explain. But I can say the name of this person, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and it's one of the culprits who made a big fuss in the shopping mall some time ago. Joan. Irenikas. His current power is quite strong, strong enough to recruit two evil armies to attack the Wood Elf Capital located deep in the Wildas Forest. Of course, that's what I'm here for. Henry didn't hide anything, and told the story as it was.

When he mentioned the slaughter of the entire peninsula by the dark elves, the two old paladins clenched their fists, their eyes bursting with sparks of rage, eager to raise their swords and slay these evil foes at once.

When Yi QiΔ“ finished speaking, Grand Master Witherland gritted his teeth and nodded, "I see what you mean." Rest assured, it is the duty and duty of the Knights to fight evil, even if it does not appear in the land of Am. Go ahead. When I leave, I can muster five hundred knights and apprentices at any time. It's guaranteed to deal a fatal blow to these crazy guys. ”

"That's right, Tom taught us to stand up in the face of evil, or they will destroy your home and kill your friends and loved ones." Kaidong also stood up and echoed enthusiastically. He didn't seem to realize that he was retired and had promised his wife never to risk her life again.

"Thank you, thank you, the Knights, and of course, thank you, my friend." Henry was careful with his wording, trying to hurt Cadon's pride and honor. "But now that you're retired, remember the oath you made to Maria? You can't fight as hard as you used to. ”

Unfortunately, he underestimated the loyalty of the elderly paladin to his faith and honor. Perhaps in the eyes of the holy warriors, it is the supreme honor to be able to die in a battle against evil, and even some persistent holy warriors have made it their life's goal to stand tirelessly at the forefront of the fight against evil.

As a holy warrior, Kaidong must not break the oath he has made, but he can use family affection to move his wife to let him go. He took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "No, I must go this time." If I flinch when my friends need help and evil eats away at innocent lives! How to face Thom after death! ”

"Damn, I knew it was going to be like this." Henry cursed under his breath. He knew that it was useless to dissuade him now, the holy warriors were all creatures with one tendon, and once they decided on something, a few dragons would not be able to pull it back.

Seeing this situation, Grand Master Witherland not only did not follow along to dissuade him, but laughed and patted his old friend on the shoulder: "Hahahaha! Kaidon, it looks like we're going to be together again. I really didn't expect that just now we were chatting about those previous battles together, but the next second a big surprise came. This is God's will, and it seems that we old bones are not yet ready to retire. ”

"That's right, the cause of justice needs my strength, this is Thom's guidance, I believe Maria and the children will agree." As he spoke, Kaidong's face was full of confidence. He knew very well that his wife would never interfere with his choice at a critical moment.

"Well, now that you've made your decision, I won't say any more. But there is one thing, this operation must be completely under my command. Magical warfare is completely different from ordinary warfare, and the enemies faced are not ordinary humans, orcs, and goblins. I can tell you unequivocally, Joan. Irenikas's army is not only home to a large number of golems that cannot be harmed by normal weapons, but also trolls, giants, demons, beasts, and dragons. ”

Speaking of this, Henry deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued in a very heavy tone: "I can tell you unequivocally that this battle will be beyond imagination, even if the losses reach more than seventy percent, it is not surprising, especially those who charge into battle. Of course. I also have a corresponding. An elite army is departing from the island of AncomΓ©. It won't take us two days to get here, the Masked Mage's Guild has promised to join the war, and a number of metal dragons will join us. However, these are not enough to reduce the risk much, so it is best for those who participate to prepare a suicide note. ”

In response to this warning, Grand Master smiled indifferently: "Haha, if you want to use this method to scare us off, then you are obviously in the wrong place. Every official knight here wrote a suicide note at the induction ceremony, and they were never afraid of death! Not even more afraid of evil! Justice will prevail! ”

"Justice will prevail!" Kaidon cried out as he slammed his fist into his heart.

This is the signature move and slogan of the Order. The tradition that has continued since the founding of the group can also be said to be a kind of faith. He lost count of the number of times he had shouted in battle, but he still felt his blood boiling.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Henry couldn't help but secretly admire that it was indeed worthy of being called the Knights of the Warmest Heart of Am, and this momentum of courage and never flinching alone was enough to overwhelm more than ninety percent of the troops in the entire Faeron Continent. He now began to wonder if the Solanian Knights would be able to achieve a similar level if they were reorganized, even if only half of them would be enough to deal with the endless stream of monsters.

Now that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, Henry quickly got up to take his leave, and Caton bowed and prepared to go home to persuade his wife to support his decision.

Witherland didn't hold back much, just sent the two out of the gate. After all, conscripting five hundred knights and trainee knights is not a trivial matter. Not only did you have to say hello to the six-member council, but you also had to inform those who were on vacation one by one. Anyway, there's a lot of trouble.

This is no ordinary army, as every official knight has at least five class ranks, and the Trainee Knight also has two class ranks. In frontal combat, they can defeat ten times their own ordinary soldiers, especially in the face of evil creatures, and they can also exert greater combat effectiveness with their magic skills.

That's why Ascatra is close to the Cloud Mountains, but it hasn't been breached by monsters for so many years. With such a powerful combat power just by a knight order, coupled with the magical support of masked mages, unless there is a powerful evil force behind it, these monsters alone will not be able to get even closer to the city wall in a few hundred years.

Walking on the clean stone bridge from the temple to the temple, Kaidon touched the neat beard on his chin and asked with a smile, "What, you seem to be preoccupied?" ”

"Oh? Is it that obvious? Henry looked up in amazement. He was really thinking about how to reduce his losses in this terrible magic war, especially with the wide variety of evil creatures, almost every one of them had two-handed innate magic, and countless people would die if he wasn't careful.

"Of course, it seems that the enemy this time is really difficult to deal with. I've never seen you look so heavy when I was encircling and suppressing the Demon of the Heart. Say anything, don't hold it to yourself, I'll be a good listener. Caton once again stepped into the role of a soul mentor in an attempt to help Henry relieve the tension caused by the stress.

Henry first showed a wry smile, and then shook his head slightly: "No, I don't think you can help me this time." This is a magic war, and spells above level 3 that are rarely seen in ordinary times will be overwhelmingly smashed like a tide. Ordinary soldiers can't even find their bodies after a round, and countless lives will die. I'm trying to find a way to reduce deaths, but it's just too hard. ”

"There's no way around it, and you don't have to blame yourself too much, just do your best. Believe me, those who are willing to join this war know what dangers they will face, so all you have to do is lead us to victory. I'm going to go back and explain to Maria that you can always come to me if you need help. With that, Caton patted Henry on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, then waved his hand and walked straight in the direction of his house.

Looking at his departing back, Henry sneered and muttered, "I'm only worried about my own subordinates, and what does it matter if the others die more." ”

As a person who strictly abides by absolute neutrality, his disregard for death has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, not to mention the death of thousands of eight hundred soldiers, even half of the population of the entire Western Continent will not be cursed. Provided, of course, that one's own relatives, friends, and territories are not included. Although he is selfish, he is such a character......
