Chapter 21 The Overture of Doom Two

At the foot of an unknown mountain in the middle of the Arquice Mountains, a team of knights wearing various armors, holding spears and carrying large swords, were struggling on the winding mountain road. The mounts that were pulled behind them were now the biggest burden of their advancement on this cliff-ridden mountain road. Despite this, no one abandoned these noble and endurance Grolingen war horses. As a knight, his trust in the mounts has surpassed his comrades who share life and death to a certain extent. It would be no exaggeration to say that war horses are their second life.

After several days of rapid journeys over the mountains and forests, even the Templar Knights, known for their tenacity, showed some fatigue on their faces, and the small complaints that followed were spreading in a small range.

As a team of well-equipped and middle-class Knights of the Central Cathedral of the Menid Empire, even if they do not sneak through mountains and rivers and follow the flat and wide trade routes, by dividing the entire Arques Mountains into two, you can easily reach the outer gathering places of the dark heresy, whether it is the camp of the orcs or the gathering places of the dark tribes, with their strength, you can easily reap the achievements required for promotion. If you are lucky enough to kill a heresy leader wanted by the Holy Church, then it is not impossible for the Pope to wear a medal symbolizing glory and achievement for you in the Holy Holy Church of Mount Vajra.

However, each of them knew in their hearts that this time was definitely not going to "holy war". Looking at the wrinkled mage walking in the middle of the team, the Templar Knights felt cowardly.

The so-called jihad refers to the war within the Holy Alliance, under the guidance of the Holy Holy Church, which was launched only to eliminate heresy in the dark land on the other end of the Arqués Mountains. Except for a few Holy See knights, most of the participants were noble young talents who had the title of knight at birth. Rather than a war, it was a slightly thrilling adventure.

Then, according to the number of heresy hunted, the emperor and the Privy Councilor will jointly determine their achievements after returning to the country. In this way, based on the size of their knight titles, they will often be placed in the titles of "imperial", "royal" and "silver cross" that represent glory. This is also the capital for the second generation of these nobles to be promoted and show off in the future. Therefore, every four years of holy war, any noble who hopes that their descendants will drive their successors to "gilded".

It is indeed gilded. Surrounded by a group of family knights, as long as these noble young men are not too arrogant or have very bad luck, they don’t even need to do it themselves to get the number of heresy heads they want, and then return to their country to exchange for glory. This has become an unspoken rule among nobles!

Now it is not only the Templars' complaints, but even the captain of the Templars' team Green was also depressed. Before leaving, he once asked the Cardinal Demeth of the Central Cathedral of the Empire, saying that the Steman family had a great heretic, Deron Peilong, why should we save his son? Bishop Demeth drew a cross on his chest and sent Green in one sentence, "The Lord said, "Where is redemption without forgiveness?"

In fact, Bishop Demit, who was determined to charge against the Pope throne from the moment he became the Archbishop of the Cardinal, has not been comfortable in the past few years. The Menid Empire is a kingdom of knights, and the spirit of chivalry is deeply rooted. In an era without miracles, it is difficult to achieve great results to spread the faith and glory of the Lord God in such a country. The Steman family has a very high reputation among the empire. The Holy Holy Church and the Steman family are in the same situation because of the Delong Peilong, which makes the spread of doctrine even more difficult.

In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. It has been more than ten years since Delong Peilong made a big fuss in Mount Kwangmeng. Bishop Demit has been seeking a good opportunity to rebuild with the Steman family. Now, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to go to the Dark Land to rescue the heirs of the Steman family. You should know that the Templar's weapon comes with a holy flame, which is the natural enemy of all dark creatures.

In this way, a group of four court mages from the Empire, the Holy Holy Holy Knights, the Black Armor Knights who were shocked by the Steman family and some masters from the Fourth Knight's Mansion formed a team of more than a thousand people, crossing mountains and ridges into straight lines and rushing towards the Black Tan Swamp in the Dark Land.

Hei Tan Swamp, Snake Tribe Temple Underground Stone Prison.

Every day when the sun rises, Griffili would hum "The Ambush" to bid farewell to his comrades. At first he hummed alone, then Kang Duo hummed with his beat, and then more and more people in the stone chamber hummed together, just like a choir, they used tragic melody to bid farewell to his comrades.

In the singing, at the moment when the stone door opens every day, they no longer squeezed in panic. Although many of them did not understand what Griffili was humming until they died, they did not need to understand that it was a beautiful state that could be described by non-brush and ink, but it would hurt you. The melody was flying, higher and farther, beyond what anyone in the dark dreamed of, like a little bird flying into this gray bird cage, making these walls disappear, and making all the prisoners in the stone prison feel free for a moment.

The sun rises and sets, and the stone door opens and closes.

In the dim stone prison, there was no day and night. They opened the stone gate next time to tomorrow.

Living lives were regarded as sacrifices, but the unknown holy objects were still sleeping.

They lack food to replenish their physical strength, and even a moment of standing has become a luxury. In fact, you cannot expect to regard mice as delicious snake people. It is a good idea to prepare decent food for them.

Griffili lay his head on Kang Duo's thigh. This was the result he had obtained for more than 20 consecutive days of shamelessness and hard work. Perhaps Kang Duo had no extra strength to push him away, so he just let it go. Well, as long as he doesn't touch his hands randomly.

Looking at the more than ten people left in the stone prison, Griffili said, "Kanduo, send me out tomorrow." Since death is inevitable, then die like a man.

Kang Duo shook his head, and the eyes of Shui Ling had become obscured, "Gerry, do you still feel pain?"

Yes, Griffili was very painful. Anyone who had broken his ribs for almost a month without treatment will be numb. For Griffili, perhaps only in a dream, when the sad voice sounded deep in the dream, would he temporarily forget the pain and indulge in the singing.

"How can the pain in your body compare to the pain in your heart compared to the pain in your heart compared to the separation from your life and death?" Griffili looked at Kang Duo affectionately, and their hands were already held together.

"Gerry, don't, I..." Kang Duo attached to Gerry's chest sobbing silently. She had never thought that the dirty encounter that night made her so reluctant to leave.

Whenever the blood in the temple above was rich, Griffili had a thought of wanting to go out. As the altar seal was gradually lifted, this thought became more and more intense and almost tormenting. When he thought of it again, it was like a sentence imprinted in his mind after he was reborn, "Smelling the fragrance of blood, I found the palace of requiem," Griffili suddenly felt that perhaps the above was really the destination of his soul.

He held Kang Duo's slightly cool cheeks and gently brushed away a string of tears, "Kang Duo, tomorrow, don't cry, I don't want to see you send me off with tears, that way, I will be uneasy. I swear, no matter hell, heaven, I will wait for you."

"No matter hell, I will definitely go to find you." Kang Duo's voice was cold and unquestionable, just like when she promised her father that she was in charge of the flag of commander.
