"In addition, I want to remind you that if you surrender now, the wounded in the pit can still be saved. If the time is prolonged, I cannot guarantee that they will not suffocate to death." After finishing the scene, Yi Wenyan said
Standing on the edge of the huge pit with one foot, he kindly reminded the other party.
Miles looked at him, the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, and he almost broke his teeth.
But Miles quickly realized the point of the other person's words.
"Evan Ian...is this young man?!"
However, Miles instantly overturned his opinion - since the person in front of him was the black-blooded heretic, his actual age was only 15 years old. To be precise, he was just a teenager.
Miles observed carefully, and through the moonlight, he could indeed see that the person in front of him was very similar to the person in the portrait.
It's actually me...
The remaining black knights came out from behind Ivan Ian. They were carrying three prisoners covered in blood, and they gradually emerged from the shadows in the street.
Miles glanced at the three people who had fainted, a man, a woman, and a child, but they were the owners of the cabin that had been blown up before, and they were the espionage officers developed by the church in White Rose City.
"Not even sparing children... He is indeed a black-blooded demon..." Miles couldn't help but sneered, "And he said the wounded would be saved... He is obviously a born heretic, but he still insists on pretending to be a saint.
, you have not learned any of the advantages of human beings, but you have carried out this boring hypocrisy to the end."
Yiwen Ian frowned. Although he didn't think he could convince the other party to surrender from the beginning, Miles's words still made him a little unhappy. "Qingfeng Technique." He muttered in a low voice,
A blue flame ignited from his fingertips and floated staggeringly towards the depths of the pit. When the elemental fire touched the bottom of the pit, it exploded instantly with a "bang", setting off a strong wind and sweeping away all the water deposited at the bottom of the pit.
Thick smoke and exhaust gas blew out.
It wasn't until he finished these things that Evan looked at Miles again: "I didn't expect the church's inquisitors to say such boring and innocent things. I have faced countless threats and assassinations since I was 3 years old.
, all kinds of attackers include you church members. No one has ever spared me just because I am a child. The age gap between me and that child is much greater than the gap between the Pope and me."
Having said this, Yi Wenyan calmly spread his hands: "Or are you different from them, uncle, and you will stop and leave because I am just a child? Let me tell you in advance, if you really plan to evacuate Nanling
, I respectfully send you off and will never stop you."
After hearing Evan Ian's words, Miles fell silent. He knew very well that he was not a good person. To be honest, before he knew that the person in front of him was Evan Ian, he faced at least nine truth-level knights.
There was a time when I retreated——
But...the person in front of me is Yiwen Ian!? The Pope's Office and the Tribunal are prepared to kill Yiwen Ian at all costs while the emperor and Silver Rose are at odds!
If Miles can kill him and escape unscathed, let alone being promoted to two levels within the Order of Stigmata, as long as he is willing, even if he can directly wash away his stigma and regain his freedom, it will not be impossible.
It's possible!
As for the lives of his subordinates? What is that? He has never cared about it!
Miles raised his hand and pressed down: "Kill him."
However, no one moved.
The Stigma Knights looked at each other. They knew the identity of the enemy in front of them very well, and they also understood the terror of the nine truth-level knights. Now they can't even do two against one... kill him? Miles, why don't you just say let us
Forget about dying?!
Evan Ian looked at Miles's left hand frozen in the air and almost laughed out loud. Hey, are these assassins here to make a joke?
"Since you don't plan to surrender, then we will take action..."
Yi Wenyan raised his hand with a smile, but before he said the last word "Le", he suddenly felt a wave of magic power beside him——
More than ten meters away, anger burned coldly in Miles' eyes, and at the next moment, the unconscious man at Yi Wenyan's feet exploded.
With a "boom", the human body expanded and exploded from the inside. The shock wave caused by the divine magic enveloped the flesh, blood and broken bones, turning into shrapnel and crackling on the full-body armor of the black knights.
The stone shaping technique in Yiwen Ian's hand that was ready to go off turned the ground into a bunker, and the circular stone shield that rose instantly blocked the human bomb for him. No one in the Black Knight was injured in the explosion. However,
, when Yi Wenyan lifted the spell, he saw that only three puddles of rotten flesh were left on the hostages on the ground, and his eyes instantly darkened.
Miles looked around at the black-robed knight beside him, his eyes equally gloomy: "Kill him."
This time, no one dared to disobey the order. The knights in black robes turned into flowing shadows one after another. Their troops were divided into three groups and rushed towards Yi Wenyan from above the giant pit and from the left and right sides.
Facing the church knight who jumped over the pit and rushed directly towards Yi Wenyan, a black knight took a step forward and jumped up instantly.
There were three Stigma Knights who chose to jump over the pit, and only one Black Knight. However, through the gaps in the helmet and visor, the Black Knight could see the deep fear conveyed in the opponent's eyes.
The moment he passed by the first church knight, the black knight held out the long sword in his hand. The opponent's long sword wiped out sparks and collapsed in front of the armor on his chest. The next moment, the opponent's head was already dead.
Separation - the sword blade accurately passed through the gap between the helmet and the breastplate, splitting his cervical vertebrae easily.
The black knight let go of the sword and let it fall into the pit together with the corpse. His outstretched left hand instantly grabbed the second knight's cloak. Using the huge momentum of his forward leap, he rotated 360 degrees in the air, like
Like waving a sandbag, he hit the knight in his hand hard against his last colleague. The two black-robed knights who collided heavily screamed and fell into the pit. After finishing the three church knights in one go, the knight lost momentum.
The Black Knight himself also fell freely into the pit.
Want to compete with the Black Knight in aerial combat? How naive!
Yi Wenyan commented on this short battle noncommittally. Compared with the lightning air battle directly ahead, the church knights entangled from both sides were more difficult to deal with. At least the black knights could not kill three church knights like they did in the air battle.
, and easily defeated these dozen high-level warriors.
The sound of fighting with swords clashing came from the deep pit. It seemed that the black knight who fell into the deep pit could not jump back up in a short time. At this time, only the guarding knight beside Yiwen Ian was left.
Two people.
On the opposite side of the pit, after ordering his subordinates to attack, Miles himself did not move. His eyes and those of Yi Wenyan intersected in the air. There was no smell of gunpowder in the air, but there was a cold murderous intention permeating each other.
"...Sure enough, I still can't like you idiots." Yi Wenyan was silent for a while, and finally said, "That's just a child, and his mother is from Nanling...Only that man's physical strength suddenly increased
Magical power fluctuations were produced..."
Yi Wenyan couldn't describe the feeling in his heart at this time: "If I didn't tie them together, at least they two wouldn't have to die..."
Miles snorted coldly: "You should be lucky that you tied them together. Without those two human shields as a buffer, the power of the magical explosion is enough to knock you down the pit."
Yi Wenyan's brows furrowed deeply: "...Since you can say such things, do you and the church you represent still intend to describe yourself as good and righteous?"
In Ian's heart, he knew very well that he was not a villain, but he always didn't know what to do with the church that wanted to kill him in the name of punishing evil. To use an analogy, he felt like
He is an innocent person who has been wronged, and his enemies are the police and relatives of the victim. Even though he has been unfairly wronged, he has to fight with them in order to protect himself, but there is such a thing as hatred... Yiwen Ian
The feeling in my heart is more of a deep sense of helplessness and powerlessness.
However, today Miles has broken the good impression that Knetin, the nuns from the church in Wenning District, and even Kate Costner, that silly paladin, gave him in Yiwen's heart.
He lost what little inner bottom line he had left——
"What a childish question." Miles laughed at Evan mercilessly, "Does it matter whether I am good or evil?"
"In other words, does it really matter whether our church is good or evil?" Miles held down his sword. He did not intend to wait any longer. "In this world, if there are evil people like me, they will also
There are good people like the Commander-in-Chief, but even a bad person like me will occasionally have his conscience discovered. The Commander-in-Chief does not intentionally do evil, but he often has harmless little problems."
"Even the empire that claims to be righteous and the church that encourages people to do good. Since they are also composed of various human beings, they will also have various complex appearances like human beings. If we really have to
If you want to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, I can only answer you - "
"Victory is justice!"
Miles swung his sword——
"Holy Sword Technique!"
The dazzling sword light exploded in front of Yiwen Ian, and when the sword light fell, Miles had jumped over a dozen meters without hesitation, and slashed at Yiwen Ian with his sword: "So die in peace for me.
Come on! Heretic!"
Long swords clashed with each other, sparks and sword light exploded in the dark night. A black knight stood in front of Ivan and fought with Miles. As they moved around, sword lights intertwined, and the black-armored knight and
The figures of the silver-armored judge quickly intertwined and gradually turned into two streams of silver and black, but it was impossible to tell who was who.
Being pinched under the arm by another black knight, he avoided the direct attack of the Holy Sword Technique. His hat was blown off by the huge shock wave, and his hair was a little messy. Yi Wenyan stood on the ground again.
"Winning is king or defeating bandits..." However, Miles' last words solved the grudge that had always been in Yi Wen's heart. "It's not bad to think so."
"Pure kindness does not exist after all... I should have understood it a long time ago." Yi Wenyan sighed, "Maybe it's because I have been too comfortable recently... I am a little afraid of getting my hands dirty...
…”
That's right, it's like the train track change problem. If there are two tracks, one with 10 people and the other with 5 people, which track will you change?
In this problem, many people will choose to keep the original track of the train as it is, because when choosing any path will get your hands dirty, not choosing is the best choice.
One general's achievements lead to the death of thousands. In the hands of every hero, there are countless lives. The victor writes history.
In Su Zuo's previous life, these sentences were usually full of derogatory connotations. However, Yiwen Ian knew very well that this was the fact.
Hillteller believed that he had the ability to lead in the right direction, but he never thought so himself.
He is on the road of constantly changing the world. It has been nine years so far. He has repeatedly reviewed his achievements and is full of pride in his heart. However, at the same time, his inner uneasiness has become more and more serious.
Sometimes, after recovering from the severe pain caused by the magic power extraction, his body aches and he lies on the ground unable to do anything, and he will quietly think about whether this is the punishment given to him by the destiny.
, or the curse given to him by the gods?
He simply could not deny that during the revolution he initiated, the fate of countless people was changed. The poor may become rich, and the rich may become poor, serfs will be freed, farmers will go bankrupt, and merchants will become bankrupt.
If you gain power, the advantages of the trading company will be squeezed——
If one person goes to heaven, another person will fall to hell. This is the law of equal exchange, but it also means that without expanding the cake itself, no matter how the rights holders distribute the cake, someone will eventually starve to death.
So in order to keep everyone fed, Yi Wenyan launched changes at all costs, developed Nanling's productivity, and promoted industrialization. However, in this series of orders and measures, can he really guarantee that he is absolutely correct?
?
Su Zuo knew very well that he couldn't. He had only seen the "correct" world that no one else had ever seen, but he didn't know how to take the right path. This world was too different from his previous life.
Even if there are many differences, he is just "crossing the river by feeling for the stones."
But... although Yi Wenyan does not think that he is righteous, if he had lost the courage to make a choice, then he would not have chosen to change the world in the first place.
That's right, since changes have begun, then as long as necessary, whether it is killing people or starting a war——
He will carry it out to the end!
