Chapter 333 Becoming a Torch

Lorencos is the one who has followed the iron-blooded general for the longest time. The two have known each other since they were young, and Lorencos is only a few years younger than the iron-blooded general.

 They swore an oath together, joined the army together, killed enemies together, and were promoted to legends on the battlefield.

Lorencos is the Iron-Blooded General's most trusted right-hand man. The two of them have defended each other's swords. It can be said that even their wives are not that close.

But as Rachel Angelo becomes increasingly cruel, Lorencos begins to feel lost.

The fanatical belief in the empire once made Lorenkos think that everything he did was justice and a contribution to all mankind.

 There is no doubt that humans live very well in the Lion Empire, much better than other kingdoms, so unifying the continent and making all humans happy is a great cause and worth fighting for.

However, some people will take this madness to the extreme in **** killings, while some people will be extinguished by blood.

Rachel Angelou has become more and more extreme and cruel, and the lower age limit for killing is getting lower and lower. Lorenkos had discussed this issue with Rachel Angelo, but nothing could shake Rachel Angelo's will.

After all, he is a paladin who took the oath of conquest. If he gives up, he will become an oathbreaker.

Lorencos once tried to hide his inner confusion, without thinking or introspection, and everything would not become a worry. This worked well until Frodo was born.

"I don't know. I only recently discovered that I know too little about Ryan. Before, we were all blinded by fanatical beliefs, and even our hearts were closed. How many people can I find in this little time? , maybe only a few, but no matter how slim the hope is, you have to try hard.”

 “It must be the Lord of the Morning’s blessing!”

Otherwise, Lorenkos would not have allowed Alan, a traitor, to stay with Frodo for even one night.

However, although Lorenkos thought that Allen was right, he did not bow down and asked, "Alan, what are you going to do?"

Allen quickly replied: "First of all, we are looking for more like-minded people. Our strength is too weak and not enough to stop this war."

When Allen spoke of unjust war, Lorenkos could no longer bear it.

Lorencos is no different from James Watson. In the end, Frodo was made Rachel Angelo's subordinate and the closest guard.

 After becoming a father, you have to think about many things. But as Ambrose said, the old people in Lane have long been inseparable from the empire.

 The more Allen spoke, the more determined he became. This was not an easy task in the first place.

Lorencos asked again: "How long are you looking for? Even if the lich makes a fuss and the influence of the curse, it can only be delayed for a month at most. How many people can you find in this time?"

Then Frodo also had blood on his hands.

"Alan, you are right. We have committed infinite sins, and the Holy Light should turn into fire and burn me. Frodo, we will all fall into hell."

Frodo was frightened by his father. Originally he was just a little shaken, but his father admitted what the traitor said?

Allen also felt that the success was a bit exaggerated. He was still thinking about how long it would take to find someone who had the same goals as him. But in the end, he found two people, one of whom was a legendary paladin?

 They worked hard to preserve all this. This was the first prerequisite, and then they changed the empire.

Lorencos never thought that he would be able to give birth to a child when he was almost sixty years old.

  Such a premise often leads to them being unable to do anything.

 Their relatives and friends are all fanatical followers of the empire. If a person is sober, it will be a kind of torture.

Allen hesitated for a moment, he had no answer to this question.

This guilt was originally hidden deep in Lorenkos's heart, and there was nothing wrong with his usual behavior. But when Frodo was turned into an undead, the wrapped guilt broke out.

Allen firmly believes in this great god.

He originally did not want a child. Since he was full of sins, how could he have the nerve to have a child? But in the end, at the begging of his wife, the two conceived Frodo. Thanks to the power of the Holy Light, otherwise it would be really difficult to give birth to a child at almost sixty years old.

Even if the Lord of the Morning bless him and allows him to find allies right away, he cannot change from a few people to hundreds or thousands in the next few days.

Even if this kind of thing happens, it will definitely be a trap of the iron-blooded general.

Lorencos would not let Allen go so easily, and continued to ask: "If you don't have confidence yourself, how are you going to stop this war?"

Allen was no longer confused, and said frankly: "No matter what the outcome is, I will appear on the battlefield. If necessary, I will stand with the Unclean Ode and help them fight against Ryan's invasion. I don't expect that in just a short time How many people can accompany me to the battlefield in a few days is not important to me. What is important is that there are people who think the same as me. Even if I die on the battlefield, there will be people who will remember what I have done, and there will be people soon. Make the same choice as me.”

Lorencos sneered and said: "Are you so confident? If you die, everything will be over. I will not admit this meeting, and I will even spurn you as a traitor together with others."

Allen said confidently: "Of course I am confident. For more than a thousand years, Ryan has believed in the Lord of the Morning. I believe that in the Lord of the Morning, under His glory, there will never be a shortage of warriors. I am just the first, He is the one who lit the fuse. Even if I burn out, there will be descendants who will continue to save this empire."

 This is the truth Arthur Lane told him, people will die, but ideas will not.

Out of the hundreds of millions of people in this empire, Allen does not feel that he is the most special one. The warriors of this empire are just confused. They don’t know what to do, or even whether there are like-minded companions around them.

Alan will tell these confused warriors that many people have discovered the corruption of the empire and want to use their lives to save the country. Lorenkos was silent for a long time after hearing Alan's words, until Frodo couldn't help but ask: "Father, you...what's wrong with you?"

Lorencos said to Frodo: "My child, you still have a chance to redeem your sins. If you don't want to fall into hell, just follow Alan."

 Frodo still couldn't accept it. Why did he suddenly want to follow this traitor?

This is unreasonable. Even if there is something wrong with the empire, is it direct treason? Can't you just stay in Lane and find a way to change?

Frodo could not help but retort: ​​"Father, perhaps we can find another way..."

"Perhaps, but you can't wait any longer." Lorenkos sighed: "It's like Allen can't gather enough strength before the war starts. If you hesitate any longer, there will be no chance of atonement. Do you think that curse is really Did it disappear?"

Frodo recalled the feeling of slowly transforming into an undead, and the unquenchable fear once again enveloped his heart.

 Is this really the only way I can do it?

Frodo looked at Alan in confusion, but Alan shook his head and said: "Although I don't know how many sins you have committed, I want to tell you that if you change your stance in order to atone for your sins, it makes no sense at all. This A sacrifice, not a bargain, Frodo."

Alan's own understanding of the Holy Light is getting deeper and deeper. In the past, he would still care about merits and what was right and wrong.

 But now, he is no longer obsessed with these calculations.

Fulfill your oath and fight for justice. There are no gains or losses, and there is no merit or credit. These are completely unimportant.

If Frodo did things to atone for his sins, it would be impossible for him to be forgiven by the Lord of the Morning.

Lorencos sighed and said: "You are right, I was wrong."

“So, no matter what I do now, will I go to hell?” Frodo felt like his brain was about to stop functioning under the impact of so much information.

Alan nodded. He would not deceive Frodo just to have one more helper.

"Frodo, go back and think it over, but if you can, please don't denounce me. I need more time and support from more people. And if you think it through, come here to find me, and I will Wait here until the war begins."

 Two days later, Allen waited for the father and son, as well as several paladins they brought with them.

At first Alan thought that Frodo and Lorenkos had gone back on their word and brought people to catch him, but the number was too small.

  As a result, it turned out that these paladins were all instigated by Lorencos to rebel.

As His Majesty the Holy King said, there are many people in Lane who have the same idea as Allen. However, they didn't dare to show it at all, and they didn't know anyone around them had the same idea as them.

Today's Allen is a torch, attracting countless moths ready to fight the flame.

Lorenkos said: "Actually, there are more than just these people. There are at least thirty people in Liuyan City who are willing to follow us. They are all my subordinates. I know them very well. However, they are too weak. Our defection will definitely attract If you pursue them, you will only let them die in vain."

Allen agrees with Lourencos that like-minded people don’t necessarily have to get together.

Rather than waiting for Liuyan City to hunt them all down, it would be better to leave some kindling behind, and sooner or later a fire will fill the sky.

This all went incredibly smoothly. Within a few days, Allen had six high-level paladins and one legend under his command.

 Coupled with Allen himself, this is already a very luxurious power.

The number of people was small and they were all elites. This advantage was quickly revealed. Allen easily escaped two waves of Liuyan City's pursuers.

 But at this time Alan suddenly discovered a strange situation. While he was avoiding the pursuers, he saw several tieflings sneaking into Liuyan City.

At the moment, Allen ignored the danger and stayed outside Liuyan City.

 After waiting for half a day, he saw these tieflings coming out of Liuyan City smoothly.

 There were no missing arms or legs, and there were no obvious injuries. He left completely intact.

This is not in line with the style of the iron-blooded general. He is a ruthless man who wants to exterminate other races. There is no such rule for two countries to fight without killing each other.

There is only one possibility for these tieflings to leave smoothly. They brought news that made these iron-blooded generals very happy.

 The tieflings are surrendering? Or are there tieflings who want to be traitors? Or maybe they were moles arranged by General Iron-Blooded?

 No matter what, this information must be very important.

Allen had to think about a question, should he find a way to figure out this information, or should he first remind the key people, such as the lich who made people unconscious when he thought about it.
