Riding and Slashing

Chapter 125 Lehman's Difficulties

These Sarleon cavalrymen and mercenaries began to learn from each other. Seven or eight surrounded one and began to use the hammering method-they all used blunt weapons. They probably thought that using a hammer would be more effective... …

But the problem is that they obviously don't have the strength of the Mettenheimers, and they don't have the skill of blacksmithing.

The effect is there, and half of the crazy doom attractors really can't stand such a beating.

But none of the cavalry was able to achieve their goal of capturing them-most of the Doombringers ended up being knocked out of the sky, and then fell to the ground and died.

On the other hand, the other half of the doom attractors killed many cavalry because of this unskilled siege.

They didn't sink into the ground...

But instead of taking the opportunity to run away, they swarmed towards Li Ang!

The lord rolled and slid out, and the Mettenheim people stepped forward to resist them.

But in this way, there was naturally a gap, and one of the doom attractors successfully rushed to the side of the fallen prophet.

Klose struggled to get up at this moment. He was almost knocked out of his breath by the prophet's kick. The heavy armor on his waist even had an obvious dent because of that kick just now—the strength of that kick, It's as good as charging on a war horse!

When Klose got up, he just saw the 1.9-meter-tall misfortune guide hugging the fallen prophet.

"My lord, this is the one next to Mrs. Bella!"

He shouted loudly, and flew over with his sword.

The last time this woman jumped into the river and escaped in Changhe Town, Klose was obviously a little bit worried.

But then, the doom attractor picked up the broad-bladed knife and drove Klose back with one blow.

It didn't even call to force back, but took the initiative to slash Klose's big sword with a knife, making a piercing chime and bursting out huge sparks.

The big sword bent into an arc, and Klose was repelled several steps, and the tiger's mouth holding the hilt cracked!
Li Ang clearly saw that the attractor of bad luck seemed to have regained her clarity, her eyes were no longer blood red, and her expression was no longer crazy.

At this moment, the woman's expression became the same as that of the three prophets, without human emotion!
Li Ang charged forward again with his sword in hand.

Klose also raised his sword in amazement and pressed forward again, but after the woman just swept across like a thunder, the two were repelled again, and flew three meters away again.

And this time, the woman spoke: "No one can kill us! Hehehe..."

This is definitely not the power that the doom attractor can have!

This is the prophet!

They actually use corpses to revive their souls!

The lord realized it all at once—every doom attractor is a spare body that the Three Prophets found for themselves!

They can be replaced by these Doom Attractors at any time!
It's just that there is probably a price. The original soul of the doom attractor will definitely be erased, or sacrificed.

And the new body probably isn't as strong as the original one.

No wonder... No wonder they ran away with only the uninjured Doom Introducer!
No wonder their Doom Introducers are all big men over 1.8 meters, this is to better adapt to the powerful strength of the Three Prophets!

"Get rid of those doom attractors first!"

The lord was unable to get up for a while, so he sat on the ground and ordered his men to kill all the bad luck guides, so that the three prophets would not be resurrected again.

And the prophet also rushed into the crowd at this time, and rescued the other two prophets with a wide-bladed knife.

Then, the three prophets rushed out in the same direction side by side.

But they were not in the direction to escape, but rushed into the place where the Sarleon cavalry gathered together.

The three prophets took the initiative to attack the Sarleon cavalry who were in a state of fear and wait and see.

"Sworn by blood to uphold justice..."

They sang the ballad-like prayer again, which apparently could control those Doom Introducers, and the remaining Doom Introducers went crazy again, desperately holding back the lord's troops.

Afterwards, the three prophets easily chopped down a few fearful Sarleon cavalrymen and took away their horses!
All the Sarleon cavalry and mercenary groups saw their flesh and blood armor, and also saw the lord being easily knocked into the air. These men didn't want to fight against this monster, they all backed away...

The three prophets seized the horses in this way and ran out quickly.

"Who is blaspheming the goddess of justice!"

Just when Li Ang thought that the three prophets would run away because of this, a knight galloped from the south, and the voice came from far away before he arrived.

Judging from the sound, the knight should be quite old, but his voice can be clearly transmitted 200 meters away, and it seems to be exactly the same as the way the three prophets recited prayers!
Moreover, his voice actually covered the singing of the three prophets.

He is wearing a black and white knight's burqa, holding a white extended lance, a fan-shaped shield on his back, and riding a white horse with a white feather on the top of his helmet.

"Heretical! Die!"

The knight charged directly at the three prophets who were still chanting prayers, and without hesitation set up his lance and charged!
Li Ang got up with a sigh of relief, mounted Alice again, reached out to grab the lance from a cavalryman, and rushed behind the three prophets.

The leading tall Doom Introducer, the Prophet who had just changed his body, raised a long broad-bladed knife to meet the knight.

And the moment the two horses staggered, the point of the knight's spear swayed left and right, and then stabbed the doom attractor's shoulder socket!

This knight seemed to be very familiar with the prophet's martial arts. He shot the prophet without seeming swift and violent, but he succeeded in stabbing the prophet off the horse!
Another prophet holding an ax and shield had already turned around on horseback - when she looked back, she saw Li Ang behind her.

After the lord saw that the knight had done a good job with a spear, he also shook the point of the spear, and then suddenly handed over the spear to his left hand!
Alice's original route to the left was also led by Li Ang to lean to the right.

Therefore, when the two horses passed by each other, he also succeeded in making the prophet fall off the horse with one blow!
The lord is still a quick learner - the knight's shot made him understand that the three prophets only have great strength, fast reaction and high proficiency, but the martial arts they know are very simple!
As long as it's a technology they haven't seen before, they can't stop it - their bodies don't belong to them, they don't have the instinct to fight, they just rely on their strength and reaction to force their opponents.

As long as they don't have time to think about what to do, no matter how powerful or fast they are, it's useless—the brain can't react!

Using a gun with the left hand is not special at all, but when he was about to make contact, he suddenly changed the line, and suddenly switched from the right hand to the left hand. The prophet probably had never seen it before, and he was immediately confused.

Before she knew how to block it, the lord's gun had already arrived.

This shot also hit the shoulder socket, which was also learned from that knight. Instead of pursuing a fatal blow, it worked instead.

The only prophet who was still riding a horse didn't move, because the knight was in front of her, and Li Ang was behind her. Two powerful knights came towards her in an arc at the same time!

"Roland! It's you!"

She seemed to have recognized the knight, and with a loud cry, she drove her horse towards the knight.

"It's me! Heretic, die!"

The two passed by again, and the prophet was shot in the side again and fell off the horse.

The lord also rushed past the two of them at this time, but he still did not close his gun, but charged at the tall doom bringer who was shot down by the knight before—she stood again. stand up.

This time, she was stabbed in the other shoulder by Li Ang!

The cavalry spear was broken, and the prophet obviously lost most of her combat power. She lay on the ground with the long spear head pierced into her shoulder, and her bones must have been shattered.

"What a skill! May the Goddess of Justice protect you!"

The knight boasted, and he didn't stop. Like Li Ang, he also charged at another prophet who had just got up with his lance.

He also crippled the other hand of the prophet—the keel ax flew out, and his lance broke and stuck in the socket of the prophet's shoulder.

At this time, the soldiers had cleared away the remaining Doom Introducers and rushed over.

All three prophets fell from their horses, all of them were wounded, and they were about to die!
But at this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance.

"hoooohoohooo..."

"My lord, the Lion Knights are here!"

The whistle of the Owl Knights and Klose's shout came at the same time.

Li Ang stopped his horse and looked back.

That's Lehman...

He is rushing here with a large number of lion knights.

The three prophets got up and got together again, all with injuries, but they were no longer expressionless, and seemed to show mocking smiles: "Hmph... Roland, you can't kill us... little lord, Black and white griffin flag, I remember you!"

What do you mean?
How dare you speak harshly in this situation?

They think the Lion Knights are here to save them? !
"Brothers, hack them to death!"

Li Ang was a little far away from the three prophets. Seeing that Klose had brought people over, Li Ang yelled, and then went towards the Lion Knights himself.

"Leiman, are you here to catch heretics?"

The lord rushed straight to the middle of the road and stopped the leader, Lehman.

Lehman stopped, but the lion riders behind him didn't stop. They bypassed Li Ang and rushed to the three prophets.

Blocked Klose and them.

"By order of His Majesty the King, I will bring these witches back to Sarleon City for interrogation."

Only then did Lehman reply, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Are you sure you brought them back for interrogation? Not to save them?"

The lord frowned, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"Huh... Lord Li Ang, I don't know why His Majesty issued such an order, but I am a Lion Knight, and my duty is to obey His Majesty's order..."

Lehman sighed, and there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions in his words.

"What was the king's exact words? To 'bring back' these witches?"

Li Ang suddenly felt that Lehman's words were true—he looked calm, but his expression was unwavering, as if he was very unwilling to carry out this mission, but he couldn't break his oath of loyalty to the king.

"I received the order at Qicha Fortress, and His Majesty personally came to Qicha Fortress to issue it. His Majesty's original words were, 'Those three witches led troops to surround Longhe Town, go and bring them to Sarleon City. '."

Lehman's voice was very soft, and he explained patiently.

The Prophet Legion stayed outside Changhe Town for many days, and someone would definitely report to Sarleon City. It was normal for the king to know their existence.

But the king's order was just 'bring those three witches to Sarleon'?
"This is a heresy leading an army to besiege the city... The king's order is not to destroy their troops? Haven't you questioned such an order?"

The lord suddenly felt a little depressed, what did Ulrik want to do?
"I am a knight directly under His Majesty, Lord Li Ang, I really cannot question His Majesty's orders..."

Lehman seemed hesitant to speak.

"Lehman... When you passed by Trubrun before, you should have discovered that the heresy slaughtered that village. Why didn't you tell me about it? Who are you hiding it for?"

Li Ang recalled Lehman's puzzling behavior again.

"Lord Li Ang, I have been strictly ordered not to disclose anything related to the pursuit of heresy to anyone. I'm sorry...I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, Lehman wanted to leave.

But Li Ang grabbed his rein: "Leiman... are you really a Lion Knight? What is the first oath of a Lion Knight? To maintain the stability of the country, right! Can heresy make the country stable? Massacre Can a village bring stability to a country?"

Lehman shook his head and said softly: "I arrived early this morning, Master Li Ang, I just witnessed you defeating the Prophet Legion with my own eyes. So I waited until now to come out... I know Ols from the Owl Knights, he Also sent me some news. I think you can understand why I have waited until now. And you should also know what the consequences will be if I disobey His Majesty's order..."

Lehman's voice was very soft, and he didn't want others to hear these words.

Li Ang let go of his hand.

Lehman's face looked really tired, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.

Those night owls were originally only cooperating with Li Ang, and they were not in a relationship of loyalty. As long as they didn't tip off the heretics, they couldn't blame others.They lived in the Sarleon Kingdom, and it was normal for them to make friends with famous knights like Lehman.

"Leiman, I understand your difficulties. But please answer me a question... the people of Trubrun Village, you know that it was a heretic, but you concealed it. This is because the king knew that the Three Prophets slaughtered There, but ordered you not to mention it, and even asked you to destroy the corpse to cover up the truth, right?"

Perhaps the phrase 'I understand your difficulties' played a role, Lehman finally had an expression on his face looking at Li Ang - a bitter smile.

He shook his head: "Lord Li Ang, I shouldn't have told you. But I don't want you to keep guessing and damage His Majesty's reputation. You must know that there are many careerists who claim to be orthodox in Pan De. Lu Brunn Village, was a place where ambitious people raised their troops... they deserved to die."

"In other words, the king asked the three prophets to massacre that village in order to get rid of those rebellious 'careerists'? So...the king and the three prophets have cooperated more than once? Then this time the three prophets surrounded Changhe Town , Are you also cooperating with the king?"

Lehman didn't answer.

But he didn't deny it either.

He just drove his horse to the vicinity of the three prophets silently, and let the lion riders tie up the three witches.

The rope used by the Lion Knight was very ordinary, and it was obviously impossible to tie the three powerful women, but the three prophets did not struggle at all.

This time, Lehman brought out most of the Lion Knights. The total number of knights and retinues was more than 200. This was obviously not only to shock the Three Prophets, but also to prevent other "local troops" from messing around. .

Lehman was able to suppress them for a whole half a day, and waited until the troops of the Three Prophets were completely wiped out before coming out, which was considered to have done his best in another way.

Leon's army was only 100 strong, and he couldn't openly defy the king's will.

And those Sarleon cavalry and mercenary groups didn't even dare to fart in front of the Lion Knights.

A group of people watched helplessly as the Three Prophets were taken away by the Lion Knights.

Only the knight who charged against the three prophets alone drove his horse to Li Ang's side.

But he obviously didn't understand what this meant at all: "Since they are about to receive a fair trial, that's a good thing, I hope Sarleon will tie them to the stake..."

Li Ang shook his head. Of course he knew that the Three Prophets would not die, but he didn't know what to say.

I had no choice but to ask: "I am Leon, Baron Maixiangling. Sir Roland, is that your name? Those three witches seem to know you? Do you know them?"

"I'm Roland... Sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know who they are, and I don't know why they know me... I used to be a member of the Dawn Knights..."

The Knights of Dawn that Sir Roland said was the most powerful knights in Barclay Continent.

This knight order enshrines Astalia, the goddess of justice.

The Goddess of Justice, Astalia, is the main god of Buckley Continent. Although she no longer lives on the land, she has always been Buckley's most revered deity.

As fanatical followers of the Lady Justice, the Knights of the Dawn are very famous.

The Dawn Knights are not only active in the Buckley Continent, this well-known Knights also has an auditorium in the Pendor Continent.

The auditorium is located in the Light Howling Bay of the Kingdom of Fieldsway, which is the coastal city closest to the Buckley Continent, separated by thousands of miles of vast sea—it is the first stop for the sea trade between Buckley and the Pendor Continent.

But what made the Knights of the Dawn so famous was not their strength, nor their belief in punishing evil, promoting good and supporting justice.

It's their extreme fanaticism.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Knights of the Dawn, they may have indeed practiced justice in the name of Astalia and upheld justice and the rule of law.

But as the knights became fanatical, the Knights of Dawn gradually began to implement their own "justice" in the name of Astalia, the goddess of justice.

Anyone who made some small mistakes or did not believe in Astalia would be labeled as a 'heretic' by them, tied to the stake and burned to death by them, and then the property of these 'heretics' would be distributed...

Many innocent people were also burned at the stake for blasphemy against Astalia.

Yes, in the name of the goddess of justice Astalia, the Knights of the Dawn will kill anyone they think is disrespectful to the goddess or guilty at will, and burn them to the stake.

They behaved like the cruelest bandits and heretics.

When they killed more and more innocent people, I don’t know whether it was because they really fell into madness or out of conscience, they began to declare that everyone is guilty, and after killing sinners, the goddess will naturally classify .

The Knights of the Dawn believe that if a person is innocent, even burning at the stake cannot harm him...

So they came to a perfect closed-loop conclusion—since they were burned to death, they were guilty.

Everyone will be burned, everyone is guilty...

Therefore, man is born sinful, so atone for sin!

In fact, this kind of fanatical "belief" is probably the reason that directly caused Astalia to lose her godhead and leave the mainland-this goddess of justice was turned into a tool to kill people by her own believers!
But the Knights of the Dawn are not the kind of scoundrels who are greedy for life and fear death, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Even when faced with dozens of times their own "heretics" that they consider guilty, they never back down.

They would still brandish their long swords and charge with white lances, either to 'purify' heresy, or to 'redeem' themselves.

Yes, they are a group of great minds who are so fanatical that they distort justice at will, and turn justice into lynching.
