"Grey..." The black cat's voice became weak, mixed with a kind of despair.

The wind blew gently, swaying the surrounding plants.

Grey rode quietly, standing, his skull exposed in the sun, extremely creepy.

Vivian, who had disappeared, covered her lips and floated to the side. The dwarves who were carrying the Silver Moon Knights widened their eyes and looked at them in surprise. The Silver Moon Knights also looked at Gray in surprise.

The whole world is quiet.

Both Belinda and Zeda were stunned. This was a trend they had never thought of, and the Lich Paladin opened his mask with his own hands.

The lichs hiding in the canopy of trees in the distance cheered.

"Hahahaha, the mask was finally unveiled! He is indeed our fellow tribe! A brave lich!"

"So handsome! I like it! I want to draw this picture!"

"Fight! Lich Paladin! Let this world feel your anger!"

"Do you think he will make humans change their view of us lichs? I think we are all just?"

"I think it will! Hahaha! After all, he is a perfect knight!"

"It's really a lich..." Molkar covered his mouth with four hands, and he didn't believe his eyes anymore.

"Nee-!" Tenidas raised his horse's hooves, shook his head heavily, and threw off the vest on his head, revealing his hideous skull.

The Silver Moon Knights silently took off their helmets and threw them aside.

The warm sunshine shines quietly.

The Justice Silver Moon Knights, which was famous all over the continent, have become a complete undead legion, standing in the sun. Although the sun is far from ready to accept them, they finally took off their helmets and showed their true face to the world.

The expressions of the cavalry regiment opposite, including the Silver Armored Knight, were already distorted enough, as if they would faint at any time.

Grey opened his jaw slightly and whispered: "From today on, I will not hide it anymore. If this is the arrangement of fate, I will face it. I am a lich, this is my Silver Moon Knights. I can not be a saint, I can not be a paladin, but I am a knight, no one can deny it. I will fight as a knight until destruction comes. Tell me, what do you want to treat me? Challenge me? For your justice?"

The silver-armored knight widened his eyes, his face turned red to purple and pale again. He opened his mouth wide and could not say a word. It was fear visible to the naked eye.

"You have pursued me, remember? Several years ago." Looking at the Silver Armored Knight, Gray rode forward little by little, and said softly: "I ran at that time because I just wanted to survive and avoid disputes. Now I will not run anymore because I have faith. I want to protect it. Do you still treat me like you did before?"

No one answered him at all, fear had quickly swallowed up the mind of his enemy.

"He is such a lich! Run--!"

Some cavalry turned their horses to run, but Vivian stretched out one hand to cast a spell with expressionless expression, and all the horses' legs were fixed tightly. The cavalry fell directly from the horse. Not one, but a whole team, the cavalry fell like building blocks, and fell to the ground like their horses. There were ghosts and howling, and there was chaos.

The silver-armored knight looked at Gray blankly, his eyes twitching, his mouth twitching, and his expression was twisting.

Gray rode his horse and moved forward step by step.

"You! Don't come! Don't come!" The silver-armored knight was so scared that he wanted to run away. After finding that his horse could not move, he quickly turned over and dismounted, but found that his legs were also extremely moved. He fell to the ground like other cavalrymen, crawling little by little, struggling, and crying. This was the case in the entire cavalry regiment.

Before the battle began, they were defeated.

The members of the Silver Moon Knights looked quietly and indifferently, looking at the group of people who threatened to uphold justice the moment before, but the next moment they were in a daze and wanted to survive. It was funny, but it did not bring them any joy to the winner, but instead felt a helplessness that filled their hearts.

Flipped over, the Silver Armored Knight roared at Grey and said, "Don't come over! The evil lich! Don't come over! The Holy Spirit will punish you! One day, you will be punished by justice!"

"One day? Why not now? Don't you want to challenge me for your justice?" Riding on the horse, Gray came to him step by step, accompanied by a harsh sound, and pulled out the sword at his waist.

The tip of the sword slowly approached the throat of the Silver Armored Knight who was lying on the ground. The Silver Armored Knight twitched suddenly, staring at Gray with wide eyes and horror. He didn't dare to move.

The cavalry, who were originally chaotic and crooked, all of them were staring blankly at Gray.

"Tell me, do you want to challenge me? I will give you the opportunity to challenge me and protect the justice in my mouth." Grey gently lifted the silver armored knight's chin with the tip of his sword.

The cold feeling quickly spread to his body along the jaw of the Silver Armored Knight.

After a faint tremor, the crotch of the Silver Armored Knight was soaked. The water stain slowly fainted on the ground. The Silver Armored Knight trembled and cried, saying, "No, it's impossible, you can't be that lich... He is very weak and cannot summon so many undead knights..."

"He is just not as aggressive as you, and wants to avoid a fight. But you think he is weak because of this? Is this the justice you say? You haven't answered my question yet. Do you want to challenge me for your justice?"

"No, no...I, I don't challenge you, I don't challenge you. Please forgive me, I did it without intention. No, I mean it, but I didn't expect you to be a lich... Please spare me...I don't want to die. I am the father of five children, I just want to come and make a good reputation...because I heard you never kill people. So... don't kill me, I won't tell you, don't kill me..."

"Coward." Grey commented softly.

"Yes! I am a coward! Please forgive me! I am just a coward! You don't need to kill a coward, right?" The silver armored knight roared, crying so hard that he was out of breath, and even cried out with snot.

Grey slowly withdrew his sword.

The black cat was stunned: "Grey, what do you want to do? Why don't you kill him!"

"I won't kill him, I haven't killed any human beings, and I won't make an exception because of him." Finally, after looking at the silver armored knight who was already sobbing, Gray took the sword back to his scabbard.

"He has seen your true face! If you don't kill him, the news that you are a lich will soon spread throughout the continent!" The black cat was still shouting desperately in his armor: "Kill them! Listen to me, kill him! This person will never keep his promise! He will tell everyone that you are a lich! I know you are a knight's oath, but it's very simple! He dare not challenge you, you can challenge him! He has violated your majesty, and you have every reason to challenge him! Just one careless, you can kill his life! It's like an accident!"

Carl rode to Gray and asked softly, "Do you need to pick up all the helmets?"

"No need." Gray replied softly: "I am tired, and I don't want to hide anymore, nor do I want to deceive anymore. I don't want to deceive anyone, including myself. From today on, we will walk in the sun!"

"Yes!" The Silver Moon Knights all knocked on their breastplate.

The black cat was almost crying: "Grey... it's over, it's over now. Grey, you can't do this... something really will happen!"

Gray rode his horse past the Silver Armored Knight, and the members of the Silver Moon Knights behind him also followed one by one.

The cavalry, who had been scared, were breathing heavily, lying honestly on the ground, no one dared to stop it, and even dared to struggle. They allowed the "Evil Legion" soldiers who had taken off their helmets to pass without bloodshed.

Everything is so peaceful, and it is a bit incredible.

"Grey...you really should think about it again, really."

Regardless of the black cat's plea, Gray continued to ride his horse step by step. The Silver Moon Knights gradually faded away in the astonished gaze of Zeda and Belinda until they disappeared on the other side of the mountain.

Vivian looked at Zeda and Belinda who were hanging in the sky, and also looked at the cavalry team lying on the ground and did not dare to move. He also disappeared at the corner of the mountain road with the Silver Moon Knights.

As Black Cat said, the news quickly spread throughout the continent, just like a piece of evidence put on the table, instantly eliminating the voice of helping Gray defend the last time. But who cares?

That was never what Gray wanted, wasn't it?

Who wants them to argue with others whether Gray is a Lich?

What Gray wanted to hear was that some people said that the lich could be just, and could be a paladin.

However, no, none.

Did the Silver Armor Knight keep the promise?

I don't know. Gray doesn't know, nor does he want to explore this issue anymore. He has taken off his helmet and doesn't want to put it on again. If this is his last time, then he hopes that every moment he can live in the sunshine. He is upright, without lies, and without deception. Everything should be upright, as written in the Bible.

The way home became extremely smooth.

Everyone can clearly see a legion of undead walking in the sun. They hold high the silver moon flag that was once regarded as a symbol of justice by everyone, and are still so polite. However, people's attitude towards him has changed from admiration to fear.

Every town dared to block unidentified paladins, but no town dared to block a real undead legion. They would rather move their family before Gray arrived than set up roadblocks outside the town.

New news quickly swept across the continent like a storm.

...

"The Holy See requires us to make a statement, participate in the coalition forces that attack the Paladins, or become the target of the coalition forces' siege."

"Have you confirmed it clearly? Lord Paladin... is it really a lich?" Benedict II's voice was trembling.

The minister replied expressionlessly: "Confirm. All the residents along the way saw that the Paladin was the Lich. Now the Holy See wants us to reply immediately. Also, the subjects are waiting for the royal family's reply."

Bob stood aside and listened blankly, tears slid down.

"What do the subjects say?"

"Subjects hope that the royal family will attack immediately."

"They received great favors from the Paladin!" Benedict II roared loudly.

"Even so, no one is willing to join the darkness." The minister said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if you choose to stand on the side of the lich, then your ministers will choose to stand on your opposite side. Please be sure to consider it clearly."

...

When I received the message, Yilin's hand holding the letter was trembling slightly.

"Is it true?"

"It should be nothing wrong. The news from all channels is consistent." Abby Robles whispered: "Actually, we knew from the beginning that there was something wrong with his identity, but we didn't expect that it was so serious that it was... a lich. Now everyone is discussing this matter. I think, Miss Yilin, you'd better respond as well. Otherwise, everyone will think you are on Gray's side."

"Who are you referring to?"

"The people, the Holy See, and... and nobles from all over the world. Even those who have received the favor of the Paladin, no one dares to support the Paladin. Now, we can only protect ourselves if we claim that we have been deceived by him."

"Help me prepare the horse."

“Where are you going?”

"Salted Fish Port." Yilin replied softly.

...

Earl Grugru covered the letter in his hand on his face and tightly covered it. His body trembled slightly and did not take it away for a long time.

...

"The Paladin is actually a lich, my goodness."

"So what happened to the Holy Spirit? A Lich actually became a Paladin and once controlled the Holy See?"
