honor me as god

Chapter 609 Collective Dignity
Ye Lingchen pointed to the ground in front of him, as if the owner was giving orders to his dog.

To be honest, Paladin was not only not embarrassed when he heard this request, but he was relieved.

If he just knelt down, that would be fine. He is more than 30 years old, and he will be 40 years old soon. He is no longer the kind of arrogant boy who wants to save face.

If the humiliation of personality can bring the safety of the family, just kneel, why not kneel?
Paladin asked in a deep voice, "You keep your word?"

Ye Lingchen shrugged and said with a smile: "In public, can I still lie to you?"

"Okay, then it's settled. If I kneel, you will let my family go." After Paladin finished speaking, he was about to kneel down immediately.

However, just as he bent his knees, someone grabbed his collar suddenly, making it difficult to kneel down.

The guard next to him was holding him tightly, clenching his teeth, his eyes were extremely cold, and the surrounding soldiers were also looking sideways at him, all with the same expression.

Paladin woke up like a dream, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, realizing Ye Lingchen's sinister intentions.

If it was normal, he would kneel down to Ye Lingchen, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat if he knelt down. As long as he could bring his family back, what shame would he not be able to bear?

But it's different now.
Paladin lowered his head and looked at his lieutenant general's uniform and the general's badge hanging around his waist.

Now, he is talking to Ye Lingchen from an official position, and his identity is the deputy general of the death army, and he is acting as the commander-in-chief, commanding the entire army.

He does not represent himself now, but represents the entire Death Army, and also represents Kino behind him.

If he kneels, it means that the entire death squad is kneeling to Ye Lingchen
The Legion of Death is the regular army of Dogrand. The kingdom's army is strictly disciplined and pursues glory. Dogrand has been established for 514 years. The political situation has been ups and downs, and the legions have changed alternately.

However, no matter which legion it is, whether it is a trap by mistake or an ambush by the enemy, when the whole army is at the end of the road, it is always the general who leads his subordinates to break out of the encirclement with all their strength and send the military flag symbolizing inheritance back to the palace. Keep rebuilt tinder.

If there is no hope of breaking through the siege, the general will lead the soldiers to die bravely and sleep forever with the flag.

Of course, there are also some generals who do not want to see their subordinates die in vain and choose to surrender to the enemy, but when they take off their armor, they always hold their heads high, and no legion is kneeling. This is the pride and dignity of Laurel.

If Paladin kneels to Ye Lingchen now, the Legion of Suicide will become the first legion to kneel to the Far Eastern Dynasty in the 514 years since the founding of Doguland, and the whole army will be reduced to a laughing stock. Lost dignity from now on.

A person can disregard his own dignity, whether he is proud or humiliated, it is a personal choice, and others have no right to dictate.

But an army cannot.
A legion is a collective, a collective composed of thousands of soldiers.

You don't want dignity, others do.

Paladin was watched by the cold eyes of the soldiers, and the pressure from all directions was like a wall pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe.

"It seems that I didn't speak clearly enough." Ye Lingchen moved his hand suddenly, and cut a long bloodstain on the little girl's face. She cried out childishly and shrillly, and the blood soon flowed all over her face and neck.

"No! No!." Seeing his daughter being hurt like this, Paladin's heart was broken as a father. He staggered forward with a cry, his legs couldn't stop being weak.

Just when Paladin was at a loss and almost lost his mind, his wife's cry sounded: "Paladin! You are not allowed to kneel!"

Paladin raised his head dully and looked at his wife.

The daughter was being abused beside her, and Paladin's wife was already in tears, but her eyes and voice were full of unshakable determination: "Consul Chino has treated our family well, and we have never reciprocated well. He, now he entrusts you with the heavy responsibility of the legion, if you live up to his expectations, will you be worthy of him?!"

"There are so many soldiers following you, willing to go through life and death with you. Now you want to kneel down to the enemy?! They look down on you, and I look down on you too!"

"If you dare to kneel today, even if you save me, I'll bump my head to death in front of you!!!"

Seeing his wife, who used to be a little bird, now roaring like a shrew, Paladin burst into tears, and the scenes that accompanied him continued to emerge in his mind, from courtship to honeymoon, from marriage to giving birth to a daughter, from family poverty to Whether it was the hard days when they were first together, or when they got rich later, their original aspirations have never changed, and they have always been by each other's side.

The past is like a knife, cut in Paladin's heart
Ye Lingchen had a sneer on his face, seeing that this woman was dead, and there was no way to pry her body open, so she was going to continue to take the more vulnerable little girl.

"Tch—" Ye Lingchen held the treasured knife in his hand, and cut another gash in the little girl's face.

The little girl was sweating profusely from the pain, and her voice was hoarse from crying: "Dad, help me. I'm in pain. Woo."

The woman has accompanied Paladin all the way to the present. She has seen all the storms and waves, understands her husband's difficulties, has the ambition to sacrifice her life for righteousness, and is ready to dedicate herself.

However, the little girl is only in her early ten years old, and she is still naive and ignorant, how can she understand those illusory righteousness?
She only knew that when she was sick, no matter where her body hurt, as long as she told her father, her father would take care of her meticulously and help her drive away the painful things.

Now that her face was in burning pain, the pain was so painful that the little girl's first reaction was to ask her father for help.

Seeing his determined wife and wailing daughter, Paladin was already sobbing. He gritted his teeth and stood where he was, looking at the two family members with sobs.

In the end, there seemed to be some emotion in his eyes that broke down, and he kept murmuring "I'm sorry".

Seeing Paladin's eyes, the wife knew that her husband had made up his mind. She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face.

Paladin backed away slowly, with deep hatred in his eyes, and stared straight at Ye Lingchen. The flag of death army behind him seemed to flutter more violently because of this, and twisted shadows danced wildly on the ground, like the god of death opening his claws.

The murderous intent of the soldiers of the dead legion boiled, and the atmosphere was oppressive and muddy like cement, making it hard to breathe.

Ye Lingchen had already understood the meaning of Paladin, and he really didn't expect that this guy is really a ruthless character, and he would give up his wife and daughter for the sake of the legion.

Of course, with the Shangguan siblings and hundreds of two-clawed golden dragons by his side, Ye Lingchen had no fear at all. He grabbed the little girl's hair, pressed her to the ground with his knees on her back, put the sword on her throat, and his posture was like Killing a chicken.

Ye Lingchen showed a ferocious smile: "Paladin, open your eyes and watch carefully, and see how you killed your wife and daughter. In the nightmare of the rest of your life, this scene will haunt you forever!"
