Heaven’s Intention

Farrell opens his eyes

The soft sunlight that penetrates the room. Slowly reflected, the surrounding scene became clear.

afternoon?

Faffel thought, after the decisive battle in the early morning, he would go back to the city, eat a hearty meal, and then sleep. After a nap, he cleaned up in the afternoon. Depending on the situation, there are still two hours before the sun is about to set.

My lord, please have dinner! The maid stepped forward.

Farfell nodded absent-mindedly, and after wolfing it down, he went out of the building, and just after he went out, he saw Haiwawei.

Come on, let's go to the battlefield together!

By coincidence, the two looked at each other and smiled, without putting on the heavy armor, they went out at the sound of horseshoes.

It was already afternoon, and the golden sun was shining on the world. A river extends here and flows into the ocean not far away. Besides, there is an endless fertile plain in front of you.

The reason why it is endless is that although people know that there is an ocean everywhere, people's eyesight cannot reach it, and they can only see plains.

The two rode galloped up and came to a high place, which was not even considered a hill, but a ten-meter-high mound, which was a high platform built by the nobles yesterday, and of course there was no one there at this time.

On the high platform, looking at the gentle land, the autumn air is refreshing, and I feel my heart suddenly open up.

Farfell took a deep breath, feeling the fragrance of earth and grass seeds, and said, This land is really fertile, no wonder it is the territory directly under the Viscount... You see, there are still people cleaning the battlefield .”

Indeed, there are still people cleaning the battlefield of several square kilometers.

The nobles and church knights, the bodies of dead soldiers, were all dragged away by the cleaners.

In the morning, countless citizens, with deep pain, went to identify the bodies of their relatives one by one, but this kind of battle. It is also difficult to keep the corpses intact. Except for the identifiable corpses that are claimed and taken away, the other bloody corpses can only be gathered together.

The corpses were piled up into several high piles, someone was pouring oil on them, and many priests were praying around.

Although in fact, the souls of these fighters have been destroyed, ordinary people don't know that this procedure still needs to be carried out, but of course the priest just responded a few times.

He didn't really use his divine power.

After prayers, amidst the cries of loved ones whose bodies could not be found, the priest ordered the fire to be lit.

The fire destroyed everything.

Looking at the soaring fire that suddenly ignited in front of them, not to mention the crying relatives, the eyes of those who simply participated in this battle were a little moist.

May the God of War bless you all...rest in peace forever...go all the way...my brother! The soldier in charge of lighting the fire stared blankly at the burned corpse in front of him, and suddenly said this sentence.

May the God of Order bless you... Rest in peace forever!

May the goddess of the earth bless you... Rest in peace forever and enter the kingdom of heaven!

Waiting for us in heaven!

People of different beliefs have the same mood at this time, facing the flames, this kind of prayer and mood. It quickly spread from the center to the periphery, and not long after, all the people who were resting or doing other things on the entire battlefield immediately stood up and prayed silently, turning the sadness in their hearts into strength, constantly Spreading, begging for the blessing of the gods.

It's just that these ordinary people don't understand that what greets the soldiers who struggle to their last breath is not the kingdom of heaven, but complete destruction.

Affected by this atmosphere, many people who had already stepped into the city gate stopped and silently prayed for the dead.

This includes Farfell and Haiwawi on the high platform.

Fafeer, let's not look at it, let's go! After a long time, he patted Fafeier's shoulder, Haiwawei said.

Fafer couldn't help but glanced back again, and found that the corpse of the demon was already being burned at this time, so he followed Hewawi, twisted his horse, and entered the city gate.

Fafeier, look! Fafeier was riding his horse with his head bowed. Haiwawei's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

At this time, Haiwawei walked side by side with him, looked up at himself in a daze when he saw Farfer, and reminded him in a low voice. Look at the team in front of you.

Front? It was only then that Farfer noticed that eleven people were leading horses and walking not far in front of them at this time. They had obviously rested, but the strange thing was that they didn't take off their armor, and all of them were covered with bloodstains. , the armor looks very high-quality, but it has been damaged in many places.

It's the Knights of the Holy Sword... Even though it was only from the back, Farfell recognized their costumes at a glance.

For people like them, after this battle, Farfell has seen them differently. These people are proud, but their pride is not unreasonable. Absolutely.

When he came back, he didn't see the Sangerbo knight. Pharfell sighed softly, knowing that this man who never liked him and Romon should have been reduced to ashes in the fire. The performance of the Knights of the Holy Sword was the most prominent in this battle, and the casualties were the heaviest. From the looks of it now, there are only three knights and eight servants left in the whole regiment, which means that the whole regiment is almost wiped out.

Looking at their desolate backs, Farfer sighed again, but when they advanced to the front, the priest of the Lord of Radiance greeted them unexpectedly.

The first one is the archbishop with two silver stars!

At this time, the crowd of onlookers. They will automatically get out of the way and gradually quiet down.

When the eleven members of the Knights of the Holy Sword approached and half-kneeled to the archbishop, the archbishop said: My lord, the lord of light, you grant light to illuminate the world and keep us away from darkness. We are not afraid of death...God said that those who sacrifice will return to the kingdom of God, and those who struggle will be rewarded!

The sound was not loud, but it filled the entire square in front of the temple. Upon hearing this sound, all believers who believed in the Lord of Radiance bowed down in his prayers.

As the prayer ended, a gap opened in the sky, and a beam of holy light shot down, covering the knights present, including the archbishop.

At this time, everyone bowed to the ground, even if they were believers of other gods, this was the grace of God!

All mortals are to be in awe.

In the holy light, the members of the Knights of the Holy Sword, who had been a little depressed, gradually became happy and got rid of all pain and sorrow.

The golden holy light was faintly visible, as if it had lasted for a long time, and it seemed that it only lasted for a moment.

After the holy light faded, he was stunned for a moment, and then another piece of white dazzling light rose up, and then, many more dazzling white lights flashed, and people's exclamations suddenly resounded.

It's a promotion!

It's not just the first level, those three knights have actually been promoted to the second level!

Those eight knight attendants. All of them have been promoted to knights!

In the crowd, people kept exclaiming and spreading the news. After a while, everyone knew about it. The devout believers even knelt on the ground, praying and giving thanks. Even the believers of other gods showed envious expressions.

The archbishop glanced over and showed a smug smile. This is his purpose, and the holy light on his body has reached the thirteenth pole.

Farfell and Haiwawei were dumbfounded, because both of them had successfully advanced not long ago, and they were very sensitive to the fluctuation of the knight's promotion, so they were sure that these were facts.

Just when the two retreated to a certain distance, the sound in front even spread to the meeting hall. Hearing the noise outside, all the nobles who were in the meeting couldn't help being stunned. A soldier, said, Go see what's going on outside again.

Yes, Lord Viscount. The soldier took the order and went out. After a while, he ran back very happily and said to Edel: Go back to Lord Viscount. I heard that they are the three knights of the Holy Sword Knights and the eight All the servants have been promoted.

Really? Viscount Edel's face changed, and he immediately stood up, uncertain, and said: Everyone, let me go out and have a look first, you can continue the discussion.

With that said, he walked out with a few cronies.

By the time Viscount Edel arrived at the scene of the incident, the members of the Knights of the Holy Sword had already completed their respective promotions. The three knights had each been promoted to two levels, reaching a ninth level and two eighth levels. All the attendants were promoted to become knights.

...you must inherit the legacy of your ancestors and establish a timeless Knights of the Holy Sword! The archbishop said, not caring about the previous sacrifices: Let the glory of the knights be with the glory of the Lord, forever Handed down.

The head, the deputy head, and the backbone of the knights are all there. With the Lord of Radiance as the backing, it only takes a month to replenish the troops.

Two levels, it's really amazing. As he continued walking towards the city, Farfell sighed, his tone full of envy: These people are very brave in this battle, probably because of this, so they can all Let's advance.

No, of course the Lord of Glory's grace is the main reason, otherwise, although it is possible to break through, it will not be so fast! Haiwawei also sighed, but he couldn't help but said depressedly.

Thinking that he was in his early thirties, he had reached the level of a knight, and the attendants of those knight orders could all jump and be promoted, which made him envious.

However, even Haiwawei knows that perhaps with the protection and grace of the Lord of Radiance, the promotion of the Holy Sword Knights is still exchanged for blood and bravery. In the few battles just now, the Holy Sword Knights Bravery is recognized, and since this is the case, it is natural for them to advance now.

Even if other people have nothing to say, no one can criticize this promotion.

When the Archbishop of the Church of the Lord of Glory rushed back to the meeting hall, the nobles in the hall had already reached a unified opinion on how to reward the soldiers. Seeing him coming back, Viscount Edel hurriedly moved him to his side, and then said softly Tell him one thing.

It turned out that Viscount Edel had obtained the latest news about the escape route of the demon army through a special channel just now, and wanted to discuss with the archbishop how to deal with this matter.

Master Viscount, the soldiers are already tired, and it will be very difficult to recover their combat effectiveness within three days... The archbishop did not answer directly, but lightly pointed out this sentence.

Viscount Edel didn't understand what the other party meant, so he didn't have to manage a castle anymore. Thinking of the city that hadn't stabilized yet, he sighed softly: Yeah, I'm tired.

At this moment, a middle-aged nobleman suddenly stepped in from the outside, and his face was much uglier than when he went out just now. It was Baron Moham.

He held a small piece of paper in his hand, which was given to him by a servant, and it was a letter sent by a carrier pigeon from the territory.

Master Viscount! Lord Bishop! Something has happened! He said loudly after entering.

Oh? Viscount Edel and the archbishop looked at each other and sighed lightly at the same time. I didn't expect this person to know so soon.

Tell me, Baron Moham, what happened? Viscount Edel had to pretend to ask.

Master Viscount! I just got the news! Those retreating demons are heading towards my territory! Please help me find a way! There are fifty big demons and five thousand little demons!

Baron Moham, please rest assured. I have already informed the stewards of the various places. The people in your territory should already know about the past of the demon army. They should be able to do a good job of defense. Please don't worry. Viscount Edel said lightly and persuasively.

Baron Moham said anxiously: Lord Viscount, that's not what I mean... The territory has already received news that the demons are coming, but... so many demons, relying on my territory alone to resist, I really can't handle it. Come on, I hope Lord Viscount and Lord Bishop can provide assistance.

After speaking, he looked at the two of them full of expectation.

I'm sorry, Baron Moham, as you have seen, the soldiers today are very tired, and the horses can't run at all. In this case, let alone go so far to chase the devil, just It is very difficult to defend the city, otherwise, after three days, I will find a way to send people to your territory, how about it? Viscount Edel thought for a while and said.

Three days? Baron Moham was startled for a moment, and then he was furious.

This is not a small scale, it is a baron of the abyss, plus fifty big demons, not to mention three days, even one day, his territory can't wait at all, seeing that Viscount Edel is not planning to send troops, he He looked at the Bishop again.

I'm sorry, Baron Moham, there's nothing I can do now. The archbishop said with a sigh. In the war just now, the church did not hesitate to sacrifice, but now, this is another matter.

And the faces of all the nobles were dull, who would be willing to help him at this time?

Okay, you don't care? I can handle it myself. I'll take people back and fight the devil to the death. After crying for a long time, seeing that no one was willing to help, Baron Moham suddenly became angry. He walked out of the hall with his subordinates, and soon there was a commotion outside, and then someone came in to report that Baron Moham had left the city with his subordinates.

The nobles present all sneered.

The sky quickly darkened, and when he walked out of the conference hall, the wind blew again. Baron Rocas wrapped his robe a little tighter, got into the carriage outside, and then returned to his own car in the city. that villa.

As soon as he came back here, he first called the steward here and asked him what the result of the matter he had just arranged was.

My lord, regarding the matter you proposed to let them come to you to work...they, they refused... The steward lowered his head, a little afraid to look at the suddenly ugly face of Baron Rocas.

Rejected? Although he had been prepared for a long time, when he actually heard the news, Baron Rocas's face was ashen. He looked at the reward book he had just asked for the two in his hand, and immediately smiled coldly and put it aside. Burned on the fire.
