Great Paladin in the World of American Comics

Chapter 65 Divine Radiance

After meeting with that Hestia and exchanging a few brief greetings, Lei Nuo quickly learned the reason why the other party came to look for him this time.

"funeral?"

"That is to say..."

"Hippolyta wants me to go to the funeral of those brave Amazons?"

Hearing that this was the case, Renault nodded in understanding.

He suddenly remembered that at that time, when he was chasing after horseback, he had indeed seen many female Amazon warriors who were killed by Steppenwolves and their 'demonoids' along the way.

At that time, their corpses were so miserable that Lei Nuo felt a little embarrassed just thinking about it.

But it was just a sigh, he didn't have too many other ideas, and he didn't want the Holy Mother to just take a random shot to resurrect those Amazon soldiers who didn't belong to him for the time being.

but……

Thinking that the other party would invite him to the funeral today, and thinking that the other party didn't seem to know his ability to resurrect the dead, a bold idea began to brew in Lei Nuo's heart.

Renault suddenly felt that maybe this was his perfect opportunity to increase the reputation of Paradise Island and the Amazons again?
"Lead the way!"

"Peter!"

"Bring a few people and follow me!"

After thinking about it, Renault made a decisive decision, directly picked up the helmet that he had put aside, and then signaled to those Peter who were standing by and watching boredly, to bring some people to support himself.

"Yes!"

"You guys, hurry up, bring your weapons and shields, let's go!"

It's better to have fun to watch than to stay in this dilapidated house all day in a daze. Therefore, Peter, who had long wanted to go out for a stroll, was shocked, and with a wave of his hand, he easily won the enthusiasm of more than ten paladins present. Sign up.

Soon, under the leadership of that Hestia and those female Amazon warriors, Lei Nuo took his group wearing Seventh Legion suits, holding the Seventh Legion soldier's sword and the Seventh Legion barrier shield, The paladins, wearing golden cloaks and battle robes with the pattern of holy light, strode majesticly onto the city streets of Paradise Island, and walked towards a certain place where the ceremony was held amidst countless Amazons watching and pointing. The temple walked quickly.

……

The Amazon's temple or open-air crematorium, where the corpses of the dead are disposed of, is a little far away. Anyway, when Lei Nuo, led by Hestia and others, finally arrived at the temple on the top of the mountain, which was unknown how many years old, they lined up When I was preparing to observe the solemn ceremony, it was already the time when the sun was high above my head at noon.

"..."

"let's start!"

Seeing that Renault was waiting for the guests to come to the ceremony, the Queen Hippolyta nodded to him with friendly and grateful eyes before looking at the priest who presided over the ceremony.

Soon, an elderly Amazonian priestess stood up and chanted some scripture or prayer aloud:

'...'

'The heroic soul will be favored by Lady Justice...'

'The place of pain and hell has nothing to do with them...'

'The flame of Olympus will be lit here...'

'The road to the place of happiness is shown in the sacred fire. The innocent people will leave the underworld and go to the beautiful and peaceful paradise, where they will live a happy life without worrying about food and clothing, singing the wind and enjoying the moon. '

'And strong souls will enter Zeus' Hall of Valor to guard this world forever...'

"..."

Renault didn't listen carefully to what the other party said, and just stood aside holding his helmet, lowered his eyelids, and silently looked at the corpses not far away that had probably been put together and cleaned up carefully.

He just counted a little, and there were about 220 people!
There is no doubt that they must have died in the steppenwolf's raid, and when he pursued them, he saw dozens of corpses along the way, and they were just some of them.

At this time, they were neatly arranged on the firewood, their faces were ashen and pale, waiting for the ruthless flames to completely devour their bodies, and then went to the illusory world of death, Since then, it no longer exists in this world.

for a long time……

When the priestess finally finished reciting the complicated sacrificial speech, when everything was ready, and when the funeral had reached the final step, an Amazon female warrior held a gold-handled torch and walked up to Queen Hippolyta. , and handed the torch into her hand.

"do not!"

"My sisters..."

Silently holding the torch, Hippolyta walked to the pile of firewood where the female warriors were lying one by one, and after taking a last look at the haggard faces of those brave warriors, she slowly held out her hand. torches.

"Your Majesty Hippolyta!"

"please wait!"

Feeling that the sad atmosphere at the scene was enough, Renault, who felt that he would definitely get the best results by acting now, finally stepped out and stopped the Queen Hippolyta in time.

"stop!"

"Back off!"

However, the Amazon royal guards who were standing guard silently, waiting for the last moment to come, didn't buy into Lei Nuo's account. They directly handed the spears in their hands to Lei Nuo's neck to threaten.

Evidently, if he dared to take a step forward, they would definitely plunge in mercilessly.

"!!"

"you!!"

Clang!
Click! !
Seeing the actions of the Amazons, Peter and the others behind Renault also pulled out the long swords around their waists, but several of them did not draw their swords, but took out a portable UZI9mm light weight from nowhere. The submachine gun was loaded.

"stop!"

"Lord Mograine, what do you want to say?"

Although she didn't know why the other party would call her back at this critical moment, Hippolyta thought about it and waved to the guards to put away their spears first. After all, Renault was also a benefactor who helped them a lot, and it seemed There was no hostile action, so she wanted to hear what the other party wanted to do.

"Is such that."

After signaling to Peter and the others behind him not to make a fuss, Lei Nuo smiled and clearly stated his ability not only to heal injuries, but also to resurrect the dead.

Then, he soon saw a female Amazon warrior around him, and those women who originally looked sad turned towards him with expressions of astonishment, ecstasy, or disbelief.

However, their discipline was very good. Before Queen Hippolyta spoke, they just stood there, just staring at him, but none of them dared to talk or whisper casually.

"!!"

"Your Excellency, are you sure?"

"Of course!"

"In fact, these knights behind me can testify that they all died, and some even died more than once?"

"However, let me make a statement first: Some of your people, some of them are too mutilated. I am not sure that I can resurrect those people."

This is the truth of Renault. He saw that some of the corpses of Amazon female warriors were even more than 50.00% mutilated. If the parts fly back and connect, he can only save those relatively complete ones.

Originally, Renault wanted to discuss the conditions first before going back to the resurrection, but...

Thinking about the personalities of these Amazons, he felt that if he dared to take advantage of others like that, things would definitely develop in a different direction?
"Your Mightiness!"

"Besides requests for alliances and suggestions for mutual support, what else do you want to get from our Paradise Island?"

However, what surprised Renault was that Queen Hippolyta frowned first, and after thinking for a while, she asked the question he expected directly and politely.

"Her Majesty the Queen..."

"I don't really want anything. We came here based on the principles of friendship, mutual assistance, equality and integrity, not with a purpose?"

Renault started his performance as the user and spokesperson of the Holy Light again, talking like a nonsense with his eyes open.

"but……"

"I have seen and admired the courage, skill and strength of your Amazons!"

"so……"

"If Her Majesty the Queen can send some soldiers as an exchange, I will be grateful!"

While touting the other party, Renault also began to carefully put forward his own request and the initial and final goal, that is-to ask for manpower!
Anyway, Renault didn't like anything on Paradise Island, even those magic items. He only focused on those girls with first-class body and superb fighting skills.

"warrior?"

"How much do you want?"

"This……"

"A legion?"

"no!"

"One legion is too many!"

"Then..."

"One hundred elites, 100 people per year, and allow me to recruit freedom fighters on Paradise Island, how about this proposal?"

"Of course, as a principle of equality and mutual assistance, we can also send a certain number of paladins to provide holy light services to Paradise Island!"

"..."

"make a deal!"

Sure enough, after Lei Nuo let go and greatly reduced the requirements, the Amazon Queen, who looked at the two hundred sisters who died in battle, thought about it for a while, and felt that Lei Nuo's conditions were really not too high, so she finally nodded agreed.



Soon, the holy light and the shocking golden angel appeared majestically in this temple that should have belonged to the Greek gods, and let the Amazon warriors see what is a living miracle!
It was also on this day that the sacred brilliance of the Holy Light finally began to shine on this place that had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and washed away certain cognitions of the Amazons.
