Chapter 72 The old knight(2/2)
Valast did not hide his true intentions.
"I am a paladin and never beg for forgiveness from my enemies. I would rather die standing than live in silence. However, now I am not alone. There are innocent people around us and at our feet. I don't want to use their lives as bargaining chips in exchange for my self-satisfaction."
"I think I like more than Heidson's mad dog. Although I think that your boring self-satisfaction is meaningless. Sooner or later they will die, aren't they? What's the point of being able to live one more time?"
After Anjiela made the comment, she lay back on the bed.
"I don't think so."
But Wallast retorted.
"At least, they can watch the world for a moment and appreciate the beauty and brilliance of this world. This is enough for humans."
"Honestly, you made me curious, Mr. Wallast."
Li Lin stared at the old paladin and suddenly asked a question that was incompatible with each other.
"I really want to know, how do you view our magic empire? As a paladin who protects justice, peace and justice? Do you think we are evil, terrifying, and helpless? Or do you have any other ideas?" Hearing this question, Valast's expression became serious. However, before he could answer, Li Lin continued to speak.
"You just said that the people standing at our feet are innocent civilians. But I don't think so. Thousands of years ago, this was the territory of the Magic Empire. The Alliance of Five invaded our country, killed our people, plundered our land and resources. At our feet, under the feet of those "innocent civilians, the bodies and bones of our people in the Magic Empire are buried everywhere. The Alliance of Five invaded our country and destroyed our people. And they built their own paradise on our blood-filled land. How do you think about this?"
Li Lin's voice became louder and louder, and Valast's expression became more and more serious.
"Indeed, I have no evidence now. You can think of me as nonsense. After all, the Five-Nation Alliance became the winners and we failed. We were eliminated by history. No one knows what cruelty our citizens have been treated. Indeed, the undead army is terrible. We slaughtered the residents of the Federation, but, so what? Do you know how they treated our citizens during the Five-Nation Alliance? They raped women again and again, and did not let the bodies of the girls go until they died. They lit the flames at the feet of children,
Let them cry and scream in the sea of fire, and rush to die, they recorded the skin of the mage, just to make their flags! So, Mr. Paladin, who is more cruel? Is it our undead army? Or the Five Nations Alliance? At least, I also gave them a quick death. Instead of being filled with painful torture, aren't you? What you call "innocent, civilians, in my opinion, are all accomplices, they are descendants of those executioners, with the same dirty blood flowing on them, so I don't think they are innocent."
When Li Lin said here, he stopped.
"Now, I hope to hear your opinion, Mr. Valast, as a Paladin of Justice, Peace and Justice."
Faced with Li Lin's problem, Valast remained silent for a long time before slowly asking.
"Why, it's me? Lord Arcane Sorcerer?"
"Because you are a person who sticks to principles."
Li Lin replied.
"Although I have not seen you a few times. But I know that you are a man who sticks to principles but is not stubborn. I know that you have the right to answer my questions, rather than making conclusions like the idiots in the temple."
After listening to Li Lin's answer, Wallast raised his head, his eyes deep and sad.
"I am not qualified to evaluate that war, Lord Arcane Sorcerer."
He answered sincerely.
"That war has ended for too long. Perhaps for you, that was the same thing as yesterday, but I have not experienced that war personally. I cannot give my answer. However, I think your revenge is meaningless. Even if you win and destroy the Five Nation Alliance, so what? Unless you kill all the people on the entire continent, there will be someone to seek revenge on you one day, right? Just like you are leading the army and attacking the Five Nation Alliance now."
“There is no eternal peace in the world.”
Facing the old paladin's words, Li Lin looked back at his eyes unwaveringly and answered.
"Since I made my choice, I will naturally face the consequences that come with it. So what about the Five-Nation Alliance? Since they invaded and destroyed our magic empire, have they never realized that we have possible revenge? That was their problem, not mine.
Mr. Paladin, since he has made a choice, he will have to pay the price. Indeed, my country is likely to be attacked again in the future called Revenge. But so what?”
Li Lin said, and stood up.
"I will wait forever, no matter if it is hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years, as long as the Avengers of the Five Nations Alliance can come, I will destroy them all! The Arcane Wizard will never die for a day, and the Magic Empire will never die for a day. Even if the Magic Empire will eventually perish again! As long as I live, it will be re-established and revenge again! This is the eternal cycle of the multiverse, and no one can escape. War is a process of eternal reincarnation, and no one can stop all this. The so-called peace is always short-lived. If you don't even understand this, then don't expect peace."
"I understand what you mean, Lord Arcane Sorcerer."
Valast also stood up and stared at Li Lin firmly.
"But I will fight for my faith and my choice, as you do."
