For my own family, it is enough for my father to return to the ranks of the most important nobles in the empire and for my descendants to live comfortably on the land of the empire. I don’t ask for anything else...

Having more glory and wealth is not a kind of luck. As long as you have enough power and wealth, it is enough. Greed is a kind of original sin. The gods believed in by the sinful people started a war with the god of light because of greed.

Yes or no?"

Jerry nodded: "Yes, so we won't make the same mistake... But, Lomart, are we friends?"

Lomat was too lazy to open his eyes this time, and he said feebly: "Yes, Jerry, we are friends, don't you think so? You still owe me several months of drinking money... Haha,

How is your father's private army organized? If you need help, I think the eldest brother will be happy to use his own strength to help you ascend to the position of the head of the family. Dual dukes with territories, which is rare in the history of the empire.

It's such an honor to meet... Of course, I will also dedicate my modest efforts to my dear Jerry."

Jerry laughed, his face buried in the snow again, and he said angrily: "So, Lomat, what do you think is the most important thing in your life? And what is the second most important thing? What do you think is the most important thing in your life?"

So what does it mean if you don’t care?”

Lomat was silent for a long time, and then replied in a very slight voice: "The most important thing is, my father, as long as his old man will not be sad, I am willing to do anything; then, it is my brother, my

Friend; what I don’t care about the most is my life and honor. After all, you know, I came from the lowest level of the army. You can’t imagine what a descendant of a run-down noble like me will suffer in the army.

Treatment, honor? Life? What a ridiculous thing.”

The wind blew through the valley, bringing a sound like a ghost's roar. The entire valley became extremely quiet for a while, and no sound other than the sounds of nature could be heard anymore. Snowflakes fell from the sky in large groups,

A heavy layer was gently laid on the ground. A frightened tiger carefully climbed out of a cave and hid towards a group of elk licking rock salt by the warm spring water. The entire herd of elk exploded.

After leaving the nest, the valley was suddenly filled with vitality. Countless beasts' feet and hoof marks covered the entire snow, and no trace of human activity could be seen anymore.

The hooves of the horses rumbled, and the "Thunder Beast" was gifted, and its role in the long-distance attack was revealed. Lei and the others set out from the "Iron Castle" at night, and by late at night they had rushed to the settlement five hundred miles away. Those

Just when the 'Thunder Beast' was addicted to running, each horse roared like thunder, their eyes flashed fiercely, and they looked like they were about to eat people. The Glory Knights quickly patted the 'Thunder Beast' sitting down gently.

’, it was easy to calm them down.

Lei led all the knights to dismount and led his war horses slowly to a small lake five miles away from the settlement. The war horses honestly gnawed the tender water plants on the ground under the guidance of the knights, and from time to time poked their long mouths into the ground.

Entering the lake to drink water, Lei took Rockart and others to a hillside and looked at the quiet town five miles away.

The development speed of the criminals is undoubtedly very fast. The densely packed wooden houses and thatched houses have become the necessary core buildings of a small city. Only the tents on the periphery can reveal that the people living there are a group who are not very accustomed to houses.

The savage residents. The center of the town was dark. It seemed that the criminals had fallen asleep. There were faint black shadows walking back and forth around the outside of the town. They were obviously sentries patrolling at night and riding horses.

Parade. But perhaps because this settlement is relatively close to their core castle, the strength of the sentinels here is very weak, very weak.

On the outskirts of the town, there is a large area of ​​tents that are still brightly lit, with blazing bonfires burning, and countless figures swaying. From such a long distance, you can still hear the sound of "clinking, clanging" iron tools.

As expected, it should be the workshop of the criminals. Lockart narrowed his eyes carefully, looked at the figures shaking in the firelight, and whispered: "Sir, they should be the captured Brahmaputra."

The civilians of the Te Empire are working, and there are reflections of weapons on the hands of the figures nearby. Those should be the guards overseeing the work."

Lei casually grabbed a rice ball from the leather bag in Alexander's hand, took a big bite, and said vaguely: "Tell everyone to take a rest, and when the cross star reaches the top of the head, we can set off.

I hope Bobcat and the others won't move too fast. We have to take action first anyway. They will wait until we are about to arrive before moving out... Hey, do you want to take a rest?" Lei kindly looked at those running wildly.

A member of the assassination team that traveled five hundred miles.

These killers from the Vante Palace shook their heads, and their figures blended into the grass like shadows, and then disappeared. Lei admired in a low voice: "The skills of these guys, tsk tsk, are really not just bragging, hehe.

, It’s amazing. If we have thousands of such warriors under our command, we can kill all the enemy’s generals before going into battle. I’m sure we will win this battle.”

Luo Carter and others smiled, naturally no one would respond to Lei's emotion. Which country's emperor would dare to train such a killer with confidence? This kind of special warrior, to put it harshly, can only be used by those who urgently need it.

In addition, other people, even that person's closest relatives, will treat them as if they are chamber pots, unfit for intimacy.

When the huge cross constellation in the sky moved to the zenith, bright silver light spread all over the grassland. The criminal soldiers who urged the craftsmen to rush to make tools drove the craftsmen into the simple shed like a flock of ducks, and casually After dispatching a few people to guard the door, they all yawned and walked towards the hinterland of the town. On the outer watchtower, a dozen weak criminal soldiers greeted them from a distance. They were really dissatisfied. , when they were on the Forgotten Continent, where did they need to be so careful and vigilant? After finishing their work every day, they just lay down in their own cave to rest. But now, in such a dream-like and wonderful place, they actually have to stand guard all night long. What a sin. The civilian fighters really couldn't figure out why.

Even if there are enemies causing trouble in the middle of the grassland, there is no need to be so careful, right? Didn't the leaders of the orcs say that there are only a thousand people active on the grassland at most? How can anyone withstand the efforts of a mighty warrior like myself? What about attack? Those weak enemies are really no match for you. There is no need to be so careful.

The two criminals standing on the watchtower closest to the periphery thought about this and simply yawned. The two of them took turns dozing off on the watchtower. The guy who should have been awake looked at his companion and already made a slight noise. He snored loudly, and his eyelids drooped involuntarily, and he slowly closed his eyes. Therefore, he did not see twenty black figures strolling along the dirt road into the town, and quickly rushed into the nearest few buildings. Several dull and subtle sounds were heard in the thatched hut, and the black figures walked out of the thatched hut again. They looked at the watchtowers that did not work in a strange way, and then simply entered a few houses again.

As promised, during meal time, these twenty killers from the Vante Empire had already visited twelve huts and killed twelve families of criminals inside. Seeing that the sentries on the watchtower still didn't notice anything unusual in the town, these The killers were also a bit at a loss. After a while, they simply raised the torch brazenly and started setting fire in the center of the town. The sun was shining brightly on the grassland every day, and the thatch and wood used to build the houses had long since dried. The night wind howled, and the fire suddenly started rolling up.

The sentries finally discovered something was wrong. Seeing that one-fifth of the town was already in flames, they blew the sirens in panic. The flames roared, and countless criminals screamed and rushed out of the burning houses. , the powerful ones had used enough fighting energy to extinguish the flames on their bodies, while the old people and young children screamed and struggled and rolled in the fire, and soon they made no sound.

Rockart cursed angrily: "Those idiots, don't they know that on the grassland, a fire at night can be seen by people two hundred miles away? These idiots. Sir, we must dispatch, otherwise nearby settlements Reinforcements will come." Rocart thought angrily: "Those palace killers are all idiots. Do they really not understand these basic field battles and the taboos of night battles? Setting fires at night does not notify the enemy of reinforcements. Woolen cloth?"

Lei was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come on, completely annihilate this settlement. Tell those palace killers to dispatch urgently, ignore the people in this settlement, and leave five people to intercept the order here." Just use the soldiers. The main focus will be on the nearby settlements and intercepting their messengers to convey to the headquarters. Kill this settlement as soon as possible, and I think there will be no shortage of people to chase us."

The knights mounted their horses one after another, and with a roar of "Glory is my life", fifteen thousand glory knights spurred their horses and rushed out crazily. The wind became even stronger, and the 'Thunder Beast' galloped in the wind.

The war horses roared crazily with excitement, and those knights had the pleasure of flying in the wind. The wind passed over every hair, every cold hair, and every inch of their skin, and their fighting spirit surged.

They came out, letting the wind blowing over them bring out a ferocious smell.

Fifteen thousand people, arranged in fifteen triangular cone-shaped conflict formations, plunged into the town that had fallen into chaos. The powerful criminals quickly organized a resistance force, and

The young criminals of Tiandou rushed out waving their weapons, but their naked bodies were not armored. Compared with the extremely defensive armors of the glory knights, the criminals were stunned.

Its combat effectiveness has been weakened.

With Lockart, Beamon, Kalub, Gosia, Groot and other subordinate defenders, the Lei Zongma, covered in black armor, rushed in from the only main road in the town. 'Lion Heart'

'The sword made a bloodthirsty roar, and a hazy white-gold sword energy appeared in front of Lei like a crescent moon. The sword energy whizzed forward and exploded into thousands of broken sword energy in an instant.

, blasting the more than a hundred criminal warriors in front of him to pieces. The 'Lion Heart' Sword took its first sip of blood, and the entire sword began to emit a hazy golden-red light.

Lei roared angrily: "Death, you all will die." The white-gold light surrounded his body, making his figure even darker, as if a ball of holy light surrounded a black hole. The person in front of him couldn't stand it at all.

He couldn't see his body clearly. A strange shock made the criminals in front of him stunned for a moment. Then the sword roared, and a thousand glorious knights roared over, killing all the criminal warriors on their horses.

Down.

Every sinner warrior had used all his strength to resist before the weapon reached his body. However, relying on the incomparable impact power of the 'Thunder Beast', the power of the Glory Knights' slashing was increased by three times.

The sinners warriors, who were originally on par with the Glory Knights in terms of strength, could only watch helplessly as the sharp sword broke through their defenses and plunged into their chests. The last thing they felt was that their bodies

It was thrown up lightly, and then fell heavily into the sea of ​​fire, adding fuel to the raging flames.

The long sword in Lei's right hand slashed wildly, and in his left hand he grabbed a stolen mace and smashed it down viciously. The sharp 'Lion Heart' easily tore apart the weapons and bodies of the criminals, and wrapped

The mace in a thick layer of white-gold fighting spirit was like a meteorite, smashing the bodies of the criminals into pieces. Each piece of broken body was violently exploded, and in the end there was only

A trace of finely minced meat remains in this world.

Roaring happily, Lei Dang rushed into the town first. The war horses ridden by the glory knights behind him were far behind Lei's specially selected 'Thunder Beast', and there was no way he could catch up and kill him.

Lei, who was addicted to Lei, Gosia and the others could only helplessly watch Lei's figure go away. The loyal Alexander desperately forced away the two criminals who blocked the road. Just as he was about to jump up to chase Lei, two spears roared.

It stabbed his lower abdomen, and the heavy pressure forced him to fall on the horse again. He raised his sword to block the powerful thrust.

Lei didn't even notice that the knights he brought had fallen a hundred feet away behind him. In his mind, he absolutely believed that his warriors would follow him closely. The only thing he didn't expect was that his There is a big gap between confidence and the ability of his warriors. But Lei did not wake up. He only saw the criminals in front of him like ants exploding their nests. He only saw those criminals, many of whom had empty hands. The people, he let out a roar like thunder, then rode his horse and rushed over.

The criminals could only see a black monster shrouded in white-gold light, riding a black monster that was twice as tall as an ordinary war horse and rushed over. There was also a sound coming from near the monster's head. The roar of the most terrifying monsters on the Forgotten Continent was incomparable. They were frightened. Hundreds of elite sinners warriors simultaneously launched a full-strength blow at Lei. However, in the panic, they could only use up their fighting spirit. Liu Cheng rushed out in a hurry.

Violent and turbulent energy like a wave surged in from all directions, and the protective fighting spirit outside Lei's body shrank sharply, from being more than three feet thick to about a foot thick, but the fighting spirit was also accumulated and became as solid as platinum. Lei's figure stagnated slightly, and he felt that this force had made his muscles and bones feel a little paralyzed. Just before Lei had time to react how to counterattack, the three strongest men in this town The general of the guilty people roared and waved his heavy sword, and struck Lei head-on.

A barbaric roar came out, and the more than a hundred criminal warriors seemed to have been struck by lightning. They screamed and were thrown back. Each of them spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Their internal organs had all been destroyed. An absolutely inhumanly powerful force was shattered. The swords of the three criminal generals cut through Lei's body-protecting fighting spirit and struck Lei's armor hard, but the black armor was not left at all. With a trace, the three war swords slid smoothly along the edge of the armor. Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes were covered with snow-white. It was like opening your eyes and looking directly at the sun at noon, and your eyeballs were filled with intense stimulation. Severe pain arose.

The fighting spirit in Lei's body exploded with all its strength, and the body-protecting fighting spirit compressed into more than a foot thick outside the body exploded with a bang. Countless meteor-like white-gold air masses violently bombarded the three criminal generals, tearing their skin away. Armor, clothes, skin, muscles, meridians, and bones were all blown into pieces. Countless arc-shaped sword energy whizzed out of the air, and Lei had already split the three criminal generals into seventeen or eight pieces of flesh with one sword strike. piece.

More criminal warriors rushed over. They waved their weapons and struck at Lei like raindrops. The mountain of energy formed an opaque blood-red cover, completely covering Lei.' Boom. With a loud noise, centered on the location of Lei's body, everything within a hundred feet was shattered into powder. The ground shook violently, and a full foot of ground was scraped away.

Karub from behind screamed: "Sir... you damn people...'Crazy Dragon Dance'..." A dozen red dragon-shaped energy surrounded Karub's body. , roared into the sky, made a sharp turn in the air a hundred feet high, and bombarded the ground heavily. A dozen criminal soldiers who were forced back by the glory knights screamed, and each time Everyone was pierced through the chest by a dragon-shaped energy, and fell to the ground screaming. After Karub issued this killing move, his body suddenly stopped for a moment, and the two sinners who were retreating saw it. Cheap, the weapon in his hand shot out and shot towards Karub's chest and lower abdomen. Fortunately, Rockart was beside Karub, and the double-headed spear in his hand was faster, knocking back the two swords. .

The glory knights shouted, and the strength in their hands increased by three points. How could the sinners who had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire withstand such a charge? They screamed and retreated backwards. The position could not be stabilized at all.

Unable to cooperate with the surrounding companions to intercept and kill the Glory Knight, these criminals were not fools, and one by one they made up their minds to sneak away as a strategy. In the blink of an eye, the people led by Rokart and others had already rushed forward more than fifty feet.

, and the criminals in front of them also lost their determination to resist, and turned around and fled towards the other side of the town. There was a leader-like criminal who was shouting loudly: "Go, go, go, go and form an array outside the town."

, kill them."

A crazy, angry howl came from where Lei was just now: "Damn it, my horse and my armor were destroyed by you again." Countless white-gold meteors came from Lei's

The left fist emitted a powerful sound that broke through the air, causing the eyes and ears of the weaker criminals nearby to bleed, and dazzling light traces remained in the air. Before those criminals could realize what had happened, they were already

The fist full of explosive power was sent flying a hundred feet away.

When being attacked by more than a thousand criminal soldiers at the same time, Rao Shilei's strength has been greatly improved. After all, he is not an immortal demon, and it is impossible to withstand such a terrifying attack. The endless power makes Lei's seven orifices

At the same time, blood spurted out. His vigorous blow just now broke through the joint blockade of more than a hundred criminals, which caused all the fighting energy in his body to burst out. At this moment, his body was in a state where all the old strength was gone and the new strength was not yet available.

In a sudden situation, there was such a huge pressure from the outside world, and the lion mark on his arm reacted instinctively.

Fully equivalent to half the strength of an ancient paladin, it rushed into Lei's body. It was completely beyond the terrifying power that human beings can bear today. It caused every muscle fiber and cell in Lei's body to swell.

With a body that is as powerful as an ordinary person's abnormality, if there was not an equally powerful force from the outside that suppressed Lei's body, Lei's body would have exploded into the smallest pieces when the lion mark emitted a dazzling and transparent light.

particle of.

But fate allowed Lei to escape this disaster. All the conditions were just right. The pressure from the outside world gave Lei's body a chance to breathe for a moment, and Lei's powerful body was extremely faithful to absorb every moment.

The severe pain that stretched all the meridians to the point of bursting reached the depths of Lei's mind. The severe pain made Lei's soul seem to float out of his body. Out of a warrior's intuition, Lei realized what was happening to his body.

He knew that the seal was half unlocked, and even half of the Holy Knight's power was not something he could bear. Deep despair instantly enveloped Lei's entire soul, which was enough to turn the entire earth into darkness.

Cold despair.

Cold, silent, and at this moment, Lei's soul reached the state of absolute tranquility that magicians dream of. The unknown old mage's words rang out again: "How can it be possible if you only use the power of the body?"

Where is the most powerful warrior?" Paladins do not rely entirely on their own physical strength.

Epiphany. Lei suddenly felt the flowing wind, heavy earth, light water, and lively fire surrounding his body. Their cheers, excitement, and their subtle fluctuations were all reflected in Lei's heart. Before he even knew what was happening, waves of pure magic elements rushed into Lei's body, neutralizing the power of the seal that suddenly burst out. The fighting spirit that was originally like a tsunami in a hurricane was transformed into sticky... Thick and dense as if it were substance, it started to circulate in Lei's body gently.
To be continued...
