How evil is it to commit such a cruel crime?

Standing in front of the ruins, looking at the old bishop's mutilated body in front of him, Rocks' face was as cold as ice. Not only him, but also the paladins standing next to him at the moment, all had heavy expressions and clenched their teeth. They all had experienced

Soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles have experienced countless hardships and hardships, and have defeated countless enemies with their long swords. But even so, facing this hellish scene in front of them still made them feel extremely angry.

Miscalculation!!

Clenching his fists, Rocks bit his lip. Since the patrol he sent disappeared, he had specially stepped up the search and investigation of that area. But now it seems that his defensive measures are completely useless.

Those evil underground dwellers were able to quietly pass through their own defenses all the way to the rear stronghold and completely destroy it. But I and others didn't know anything about it. They didn't discover the tragic situation here until they came back from the patrol. Anyway,

, this is really unacceptable to them.

"Sir, we have found traces of those evil people. Please set out immediately to eliminate them and avenge the old bishop!!!"

"Sir! Please give me the order. As long as we can eliminate these bastards, we will never frown even if we sacrifice our lives!!"

At this moment, the knights standing next to Locks were shouting, their eyes widened, and uncontrollable anger appeared on their faces. But this is no wonder, since coming to the Dark Territory, in addition to being unfamiliar with the surrounding situation at the beginning,

Apart from some small losses, they have never encountered any setbacks. Even those monsters lurking in the dark depths of the underground have only one way to die before their sacred brilliance and faith. The continuous victories have made these monsters lurk in the dark underground.

The knights also began 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 eradicating evil. Unexpectedly, the retribution in this world would really come.

Quickly, reality slapped them so hard that their faces were swollen.

"Shut up, everyone!!!"

Rocks's roar echoed in the mine like thunder, and upon hearing his voice, the others immediately tightened their bodies and closed their mouths. They secretly looked towards Rocks, and then they discovered that the Paladin Commander

At this moment, his eyes were red, staring at him like a fierce god. His eyes swept across like an invisible sharp blade, easily penetrating everyone's body, making their hearts tighten a lot.

"...You go clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses. They died in the battle against evil. We must let their souls rest in peace! Do you understand? Go quickly!! In addition, send someone to notify

Archbishop Bosen, just said that our supply camp was attacked by the people of darkness and we need support."

"grown ups!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Archbishop Berson was the commander-in-chief of this operation. As the archbishop of the Temple of the God of War, his relationship with the Holy Knight Commander had never been very good. This time too, if it weren't for Archbishop Berson

If he deliberately made things difficult, how could Rox, as the Paladin Captain, lead a group of Paladins to do scout work? That was the Paladin Captain, who commanded the entire Paladin of the God of War Temple, but he was actually sent to serve as a scout.

To work, to clean up the area around the Underdark? If Locks had stayed at the supply camp at the rear at that time, maybe things wouldn't have turned out so bad.

And now, Rocks actually wants to report this matter to Archbishop Boson. Those paladins, even if they don't have any brains, can know what kind of situation he will face next.

"Sir! This is not your responsibility at all! You have repeatedly asked the above to dispatch personnel to strengthen the defense of the supply stronghold. It was obviously the old immortal Bosson who said, 'The threat of the Underdark is not to be feared. Send too many personnel.

It is not your responsibility at all to reject your request because personnel can easily cause a waste of materials!"

But when he heard the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, Rocks waved his hand with a cold expression.

"In any case, things have developed to this point. It is meaningless to discuss the previous troubles now. In fact, it was indeed our failure to hold the supply stronghold and caused the death of Bishop Alex. This cannot be shied away from.

Responsibility. The matter has come to this, and we can only do what we should do."

After saying this, Rocks turned serious again.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and do what you should do! Do you understand?!!"

"…………yes."

Seeing Rox's appearance, the paladins knew that their commander had made up his mind and there was no room for recovery, so they could only respond feebly, and then dispersed helplessly, each responsible for cleaning up the ruins and collecting the corpses.

Only one paladin still stood there. It was not until everyone dispersed that he walked up to Rocks and asked curiously.

"Sir, is this matter really so difficult? Although it is indeed our problem, the rear..."

"No, it's not that simple."

Glancing at his adjutant, Rocks shook his head. He stared at the corpse of the old bishop in front of him, his expression becoming more and more gloomy.

"...The things that follow have nothing to do with us. Those political disputes are handled by others. But what I am worried about is the immediate situation... You know, this group of guys who came to raid the stronghold are not simple... What do you think?

How did they breach the stronghold?"

"this……………"

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

"I'm afraid it depends on the strength of the people. This is the Dark Territory after all. I'm afraid those people of darkness are lurking in the dark. After figuring out the scope and time of our activities, we took advantage of the time when our large force left here to explore.

We mobilized a large number of troops to break through the stronghold. After all, this place is not familiar to us, maybe there is a secret passage or something..."

"Then, why can't we see the corpses of those people of darkness?"

"This... was probably taken away by them? They even swept away all the supplies in the entire stronghold, so it's not surprising that they took away the body."

"Does everyone else think so too?"

"yes……………"

Although he felt that Rocks clearly meant something, the adjutant still nodded bravely. Seeing Rocks's eyes, he had vaguely noticed that something seemed to be wrong, but what exactly was wrong?

Son, he just can’t figure it out.

Looking at the adjutant's confused expression, Rocks sighed deep in his heart, then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the battlefield in front of him.

"Indeed, it initially seemed as if our stronghold encountered a large-scale attack and was breached because it was unable to resist, but this was not the case."

"What do you mean..."

"Look."

As he spoke, Rocks turned around and pointed forward.

"As long as you observe carefully, you can find 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 gate. This shows that in the beginning,

At that time, the guards of the stronghold launched a frontal attack on the enemy. It was not until they found that they were unable to defeat them that they retreated in panic. Unfortunately, in the end, they did not have time to escape back to the stronghold and were killed outside."

"Initiate a frontal attack on the opponent?"

Hearing this, the adjutant was also stunned. It's no wonder that although there are some hindsight, judging from the current losses suffered by the stronghold, the people of darkness who came to attack were extremely powerful. The guards at the stronghold were no match at all, and they actually

You still dare to attempt an attack... Are you planning to announce that you have special death-seeking skills?

"Moreover, I checked the call for help signal in the stronghold. It is very complete and has no trace of damage. But it is not turned on. What do you think this means?"

"this……………"

"Bishop Alex is a very cautious person. I have chatted with him several times. I feel reassured that he is responsible for the management of the stronghold. But even he did not choose to call for help when he encountered the attack at the first time. So,

It can only explain one thing, that is, the opponent is not strong, at least it does not look strong. Perhaps Bishop Alex even recognized it as a harassment action by ordinary people of darkness against the stronghold, so he did not call for help immediately

, but ordered the guards to attack the opponent - that's because he believed that the strength of his stronghold was enough to destroy the opponent."

Having said this, Rocks waved his hand fiercely.

"However, he miscalculated, as can be seen from the battlefield in front of him. The guards sent out suffered a devastating blow, which caught the old bishop off guard. He hurriedly recalled the remaining people in an attempt to preserve his strength. However,

In the end, he failed, and the other party completely wiped out all the living forces in the stronghold. I believe that the old bishop was also restrained and unable to escape, but it is really strange... Even so, with the caution of old bishop Alex, he could not escape.

Everyone is sent out to fight, and there will definitely be people left in the stronghold to prevent any unexpected events..."

"My lord, my lord!!!"

At this moment, suddenly, a shout came from the stronghold. Rocks raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a paladin running towards him with a pale face.

"No, it's bad, there are corpses in the stronghold...and..."

"Calm down!!!"

Looking at the pale face of the Paladin, Locks scolded him with a straight face, while at the same time he glanced at the adjutant next to him.

It seems that my questions have been answered.
Chapter completed!
