Johanna did not go somewhere after leaving the High Heaven with Aidan and Leoric.
They just stopped in what looked like a deserted place surrounded by mountains!
"Are you going back to Khanduras now or are you going to Harrogath with me?"
Johanna turned around and asked Aidan and Leoric, who were looking a little embarrassed behind her.
They were dragged to this place by war horses, although Johanna did not deliberately hurt them while dragging them.
But this experience is really not good.
"I can probably imagine what it was like to drag the demon you dragged and grind it into crumbs.
Perhaps this is even more despairing than facing Rakanos."
Aidan let out a long breath and then straightened out his image.
The speed at which Johanna drove the god's war horse could not be described as lightning fast. Even a powerful man like Aidan felt strong discomfort at that speed.
"Haha, I have to wait for a while before I can act.
At least until my broken ankle recovers."
Leoric's tone was not without sarcasm.
He is not as powerful as Aidan, even if Johanna has no intention of harming them.
Leoric still suffered some injuries in the process.
During the process of dragging the war horse, the damage received largely comes from the terrain.
If it is just a simple drag, then this move will be more like a means of torturing the enemy rather than a decisive move for victory.
"I didn't scatter caltrops on the road I walked on."
Johanna said helplessly.
"This doesn't seem to be as beautiful as you imagined, does it?"
Aidan suddenly asked.
His question stunned Johanna for a moment.
"You mean higher heaven?"
Johanna's tone was a little suspicious, and she didn't understand what Aidan was referring to.
"certainly.
In the past, high-level heaven once became mankind's only sustenance when faced with the threat of demons.
But we all know that the angels are not destroying demons for our sake.
This is just inevitable in their existence, and we as the beneficiaries are actually just an accident.
Even before the Nephalem, who could really shake their position, appeared, they were dismissive of us."
Aidan said somewhat profoundly.
"Aidan, did you have this idea before or is it because of the influence of righteous authority?
If it’s the former, you are not worthy of your legendary life!”
Johanna frowned.
Johanna was not very understanding of Aidan's performance.
Aidan doesn't look like a guy who thinks like this at all!
As a hero, if you place your hopes on other existences.
Then his will is definitely not indestructible!
And Aidan's will is among the best among all the known Nephalem!
Even if he is eventually corrupted by Diavolo's will, it is not easy to still maintain himself in that situation!
At least the blind nuns who guarded the Dark Soul Stone didn't act like Aidan after they were corrupted!
"I just feel a little emotional.
Now I plan to go back to Canduras!
The Nephalem cannot have only the sacred mountain of Harrogath!
If a full-scale war breaks out, Harrogas should be the last pure land.
Instead of directly becoming the front line of the battle between angels and demons and the Nephalem."
Aidan said so.
"I don't mind if Canduras becomes the first line of defense against the devil.
But the number of nephalem is still too small.
And the time we exist in this world is too short.
If everything goes to the worst, Khanduras won't even be able to share much of the responsibility for the Nephalem."
Leoric said.
He had nothing against Aidan.
He is just stating a simple truth!
"Do you know what the power of justice truly means to the Nephalem?"
Aidan looked at his father who had changed a lot and said.
He respected and loved his father, but he also hated the mad king!
Aidan's emotions have always been somewhat complicated when facing Leoric.
Although he knew that it was not Leoric's fault that Canduras reached the point of destruction.
It can even be said that in the situation Leoric faced at that time, there were few Nephalem who could do better than Leoric.
"Paladin."
Johanna said this word a little coldly!
Templars and Paladins are also different!
The Templars exist more as some kind of guardians, they protect their beliefs.
Paladins are another kind of existence, and their belief is themselves.
Therefore, compared to the Templars, the probability of being corrupted is higher as a group of Paladins!
To corrupt the Templars, all you need to do is destroy what they place their faith in.
But most of the Templars would have died before the demons could complete this step.
The Paladins only need to shake their faith to gain a powerful Corrupted Paladin.
The difficulty between the two is also completely different.
And if you want the Paladin profession to reappear, you need a little guidance!
After all, the paladin who can truly turn his will into faith has also set foot in the realm of legend.
But before that, they need a reason and a firm belief to fight on!
For the Nephalem's current situation, there is no belief more suitable for this enlightenment than justice.
The pursuit of justice is not terrible, even if you have people who always make sacrifices for the sake of justice.
That's better than a guy who indulges himself unscrupulously.
"Kanduras already has the Necromancer's Initiation Book left by Rathma.
Are you planning to let the Necromancer apprentices and Paladin apprentices in Khanduras fight?"
Leoric asked.
The Necromancer is indeed not a very popular guy.
Although their position has not loosened in any way.
