Under a clear sky, groups of knights were leading their horses on the rugged mountain roads. These knights were wearing uniform white light armor, with the unique mark of the Church of Light on their breastplates. It was obvious that they were the Glory Knights.
The Shining Knights were once the most admirable knights in the human world, possessing countless glory and auras, but now they are like bereft dogs, each one of them looking extremely depressed and without any fighting spirit.
Since its establishment, the Church of Light has encountered numerous setbacks and disasters, but it has always been able to stand firm. However, in this Battle of White Cliff, everyone from the angels to the pope and the church were martyred, which is equal to the entire
The core of the church has been completely destroyed, just like a person whose soul has been destroyed, even if the flesh and blood is still there, he is nothing more than a walking corpse.
After losing this "soul", the "brilliance" of the Radiant Knight is no longer there.
The leading knight captain wiped the sweat from his face and shouted loudly: "Hurry up! After climbing over this mountain, you can see the port! There are ships prepared for us by His Highness Palglas!"
"His Royal Highness Palgrais has spent a lot of money to reserve the time slot for the teleportation gate, but we don't have extra time, because within three days, all the teleportation gates in the Eastern Kingdom will be ineffective. If you want to survive, follow us!
"
These words made the knights speed up a bit - the portal can directly reach the Western Continent. Once it fails, it means that they can only take the sea route. With the current situation, the White Sea has been deployed by the human coalition forces in the Western Continent.
Blockade, let alone whether we can get a ship, even if we can get it, we will not be able to cross the White Sea alive. Just those magic floating minefields and defensive formations will be a narrow escape.
This Legion of Radiant Knights, named "Dawn", was originally the permanent legion of the Kingdom of Ture. The Kingdom of Ture is a kingdom in the eastern continent. It is adjacent to the Kingdom of Starlight and has been trying to please the Church of Light for many years. Although the territory is only medium in size
, in the contribution list of the Church of Light, it ranks among the top five in the entire human kingdom, and the number of shining knights stationed in the country is several times that of ordinary kingdoms.
In fact, the "His Royal Highness Palgrais" mentioned by the commander is the king of the Ture Kingdom. After the Lan Yao Empire and other countries were exterminated by the abyss, many countries, including the Ture Kingdom, faced great dangers of life and death. Palgrais
Si spent a lot of money to bribe Rogge, one of the three cardinals, and obtained the blessing of the Dawn Knights, and they all evacuated the kingdom.
However, on the way to evacuate, the Radiant Knights of Dawn suddenly received news that White Cliff had been completely destroyed. This was like a bolt from the blue. The Radiant Knights suddenly felt that they had lost their backbone and did not know where to go.
Parglas was also a cunning and cunning figure. He immediately seized this opportunity and roped in Duncan, the commander of the Legion of Dawn, hoping to seize the opportunity to seize this armed force in his own hands.
The army of the abyss has invaded the Ture Kingdom. It is only a matter of time before the country is destroyed. He, the king, has lost everything. However, as long as he has the power at hand, a comeback is not a fantasy. Moreover, in this chaotic situation, no matter where he flees to
.Strength is the basis for a foothold. For this reason, Palgrais did not hesitate to spend a huge price and relied on connections to obtain the use time period of the Starlight Kingdom's portal so that he and these glorious knights can pass through. Of course, the premise is that the glory
Knight's allegiance.
At present, there are not many glorious knights who have shown their loyalty. But Palgrais believes that as long as they reach the Starlight Kingdom, no one will make the wrong choice when facing the portal, that is, the choice of life and death.
The road ahead became increasingly steep and rugged. Even Parglas, who was being carried forward by his guards, broke into a cold sweat at several corners. It was not because he did not want to take the smooth road. The latest intelligence showed that the Abyss Army
The speed was astonishing, and it actually bypassed the two cities expected to be in front of the Kingdom of Soya and the Kingdom of Ture, and came directly to the Kingdom. This forced Parglas to advance again, and the civilians who got the news also swarmed.
As for escaping, the main road is full of fleeing refugees and is extremely congested. If you take the main road, the speed will be even slower.
This path leads to a secret military port, where enough ships have been prepared to reach Starlight City within two days. Even if the monsters invade the royal capital faster than expected, the civilians on the road will
It can also become a "natural barrier" to block monsters.
A young glorious knight accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. He couldn't help crying loudly, and the knights couldn't help being stunned.
The squad leader on the side swung his riding crop and said angrily: "John! Stand up! How can the Radiant Knight have such a weakling like you!"
The young knight cried: "Captain, this is not what I am crying about, but...my sister is still in the royal capital! She is only eleven years old!"
The squad leader was shocked and his whip could no longer fall.
The young knight's sadness quickly spread, and someone spoke: "My mother is also in the city..."
"My wife and son haven't escaped yet."
"mine……"
For a time, an atmosphere of sadness and helplessness spread and enveloped the entire legion. Everyone's heart seemed to be filled with gloom, and their steps slowed down involuntarily.
Palglas, who was in the middle of the team, immediately noticed the abnormality and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up! The abyss monsters are not far behind you. If you wait any longer, you won't be able to get away. Living is the most important thing!"
Palglas's voice did not have much effect. At this time, Duncan, the legion commander at the front of the team, got the news, jumped his feet, flew in the air, and shouted loudly: "What happened? Leave quickly!"
"Lord Duncan!" John, the young knight from before, cried: "Please allow me to go back and protect my family!"
Duncan looked down at the knight, with a flash of anger in his eyes, and said solemnly: "When you joined the Knights Legion on the first day, I said that there is only one duty of a soldier, to obey! No matter what reasons you have, I will
There is only one order, move forward!"
John gritted his teeth and raised his head: "Sir, we are the Radiant Knights. On the first day we became knights, our declaration..."
Before he finished speaking, his chest was penetrated by a white light containing powerful power, and he died immediately. Duncan slowly retracted his hand and looked down at everyone coldly. There was murderous intent in his eyes: "Those who disobey orders will die!"
Duncan has been the commander of the legion for many years and has accumulated a lot of authority. Many people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other. Duncan knew that this was the time when people were most at ease, so he had to suppress it immediately and shouted: "Eldra!"
"exist!"
A man flew out from the front team and floated next to Duncan. It was his most effective deputy Eldra, who was usually selfless and ruthless. He had a very high prestige in the army.
"You are responsible for supervising the entire army. If you fail to stop, you will be killed!"
"yes!"
Just as Duncan was about to fly back, a warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart. Before he had time to react, his heart froze when he was penetrated by a sword, and the hilt of the sword was in Eldra's hand.
Duncan looked at the bloody sword tip protruding from his chest in disbelief, gritted his teeth and said, "Eldra, you..."
His most trusted and capable subordinate actually pierced his heart with a sword from behind at this moment!
This turn of events shocked everyone, even Palglas. The team all stopped for a moment.
Eldra's sword was surrounded by an icy aura. Before Duncan could finish his sentence, his whole body was quickly frozen. After a moment, it turned into an ice sculpture. The sword shook with force and the entire ice sculpture fell apart.
.
Palgrais reacted the fastest and said in a harsh voice: "Commander of the Eldra Army. Please continue to move forward."
This sentence is tantamount to acknowledging Eldra's new position. As a king, Palgrais is no stranger to intrigues and fights for power. This Eldra has obviously planned for a long time to replace Duncan. Now he is unexpected and finally
A successful attack and a successful move to the top.
It seems that we need to win over the new legion commander as soon as possible.
Eldra ignored Parglas, but looked down at all the knights coldly, and said, "Who told me, what is the knight's declaration?"
The team was silent for a moment, and someone answered: "I swear to be kind to the weak."
Someone continued: "I swear to fight against rape bravely."
"I swear to fight against everything that's wrong."
"I swear to fight for the defenseless."
"I swear to help anyone who asks me for help."
"I swear not to harm anyone innocent."
"I swear to help my brother knight."
"I swear to treat my friends with sincerity."
"I swear that I will stay with the one I love until death..."
"It seems that we haven't forgotten it yet," Eldra clenched the sword in her hand and shouted loudly: "Then, what have we done? In order to live in humiliation, we have abandoned the faith in our hearts and abandoned our integrity.
The oath, abandoning the true glory!"
"I don't know what life and dignity will become in this catastrophe. I only know that our relatives and the unarmed civilians are facing cruel monsters from behind, and we knights holding swords,
But they will only run away at the front!"
The knights lowered their heads in shame, and many even began to cry.
"Our faith center has been destroyed, but we still have faith in our hearts!"
"Even if it's just to buy a moment of evacuation time for our loved ones and those who need our help!"
Eldra waved her sword and pointed at the rear where blood was already appearing in the sky: "Knight of Glory!"
"The glory will last forever!" The knights below raised their swords and turned around.
Palglas stared at the glorious knights retreating in stunned silence, showing an incomprehensible expression: "Stupid lunatics..."
Perhaps, His Royal Highness the King will never understand this truth.
There are always some stupid people in this world.
This world always needs these stupid people.
The capital of Ture Kingdom.
In front of the overwhelming torrent of the abyss, groups of silver cavalry appeared.
He went forward without hesitation.
They are so insignificant compared to the torrent.
However, under the sun, it is so dazzling.
This is the sparkle of life.
The true holiness and glory have always existed in people's hearts, not in the so-called temples. (To be continued...)
ps: Although it is a bit late to upload, I really put a lot of effort into writing it, and it is by no means a fillip or perfunctory way to complete the task.
The plan is to write a new book and an old one at the same time. Now my heart is full of this book. I just want to do my best to finish it. Thank you all for accompanying me all the way. When it is finished, please continue to support "The Devil Son".
