Heaven’s Intention

Autumn is here, and the forest is very sparse. Would have been a quiet place to shower in late autumn.

Now it was stained with blood everywhere, and a large number of animals were fleeing in a hurry.

The battle cries, the screams before death, and the sound of weapons colliding spread the breath of death.

It was dawn and the rain stopped, but the wind column continued, and the golden beam of light shot straight into the sky, and it was clearly visible for dozens of miles nearby.

There is a small town in the quiet south of the county. Under the sunlight, the houses, shops, and streets in the small town seem to be covered with a layer of golden light, which is very beautiful.

Outside this small city, there is no moat, but there is a border.

This checkpoint was set up by local nobles in order to allow passing guests to pay tolls.

Usually, I have never encountered any difficulties, after all, ordinary people cannot fight against nobles.

In the morning of this day, a team of thirty people rushed quickly from the other end of the road. They were all dressed in gray robes and their bodies were covered with dust.

Soon there was a commotion from the post.

Stop! Stop! I suspect you are spies! Stop quickly. Let's check! A noble young man happily jumped to the middle of the road and shouted loudly.

Stop quickly! My lord wants to check if you are spies! The soldiers at the sentry also ran out, shouting excitedly.

This is a poor place, not to mention the remote place, and it has gone through the evil disaster, which has caused a lot of losses.

Serving as a soldier here, one year's salary is not as good as half a year's salary in other places.

The people in this territory, those people live even more poorly.

Not only have to endure exploitation, but also pay heavy taxes to the lord.

This place is very poor. It is simply incomparable with other places, and therefore, in order to make themselves better, many people take risks for their own reasons.

Even in this world, being a thief and bandit is disgraceful, and he is also hunted down. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one wants to be a dark professional who is running around.

Besides, even if many people want to be a regular thief, the requirements for their qualifications are very high, and not everyone can be a thief.

But what is worth celebrating is that the nobleman himself couldn't bear it. This young nobleman was the second son of a local hereditary jazz, so he established this tax inspection post, although there were too few passers-by with money. Their lives are also quite poor, but there is always some money to come from.

It just so happened today, when they were complaining about this matter, a group of men in gray robes came over, as long as they slaughtered properly, they could cover their expenses for a year.

They rushed out with weapons in groups, and stopped in front of those people. Soon, almost everyone's eyes were fixed.

As those people got closer, they finally saw the logo on the clothes of this group of people clearly.

On those gray robes, there are the symbols of the Lord of Radiance and the sword.

Although they were not wearing armor, these knights, regardless of whether they were handsome or ordinary, were all tall and powerful, with confident expressions on their faces.

Anyone with a little common sense would know that these people were definitely not ordinary knights.

Soon, the fear spread, because only one group of people would use this pattern, and only members of the Holy Sword Knights of the Church of the Lord of Radiance were worthy of using this pattern.

In this world, no king's army is necessarily to be feared. But as senior members of a powerful church, these knights of the Lord of Radiance scared the soldiers at the checkpoints. If they offended ordinary officials or nobles, they might become slaves and be convicted.

But if you offend these people who represent the Holy See, it will not be as easy as simply going to jail, you may be executed directly, even if you have no crime, as long as the Holy See wants to clean up you, it can give you a disrespectful god If you commit a crime, you can be killed on the spot.

Unless it is a nobleman, the Holy See will be more cautious in order not to make enemies for itself.

But who are these soldiers?

Ordinary civilians, such people, the people of the Holy See, can be killed if they want to, and there will be no trouble.

My lord, what should we do? We are members of the Holy See, and we are dead. The fear of his subordinates upset the noble young man. He kicked the man who was talking hard, and cursed: We are here again! You didn’t do anything wrong, just say something nonsense, get the hell out of here.”

Under his anger, no one dared to say more depressing words against his wishes, but the power of the Holy See made them terrified. The knights of the church usually killed all their enemies. Against them, the end is usually not very good.

The noble young man was also a little anxious, but he also knew that it was too late to escape at this time, so he simply kept calm, asked the men on both sides to withdraw to the side, and then let out the aisle of the checkpoint, hoping that the team of cavalry did not Hearing their yelling just now, just go straight over.

But the problem is that the other party was not very far away from them just now, and their shouts were really loud, so it was impossible not to hear them.

The neighing of the horse came quickly, and the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground gradually became clearer, and the knights came to the checkpoint.

Tell your stewards to come out. A man on horseback urged his horse forward and said coldly.

Looking at the dilapidated checkpoints and the group of ashen-faced people in front of him, his face was full of contempt, and his words were also very rude.

The noble youth hurriedly came out with a smile on his face and said, I am, I didn't see clearly just now. Please bear with me.

In the final analysis, he still has a bit of confidence. It is illegal to collect taxes from civilians, but it is not a serious crime.

He shifted his focus and said that he, who has always been a bit smart, has nothing to do when he is new, but he can only try not to anger the other party.

We are the knights of the Church of the Lord of Radiance. By the order of the Church, your territory will contribute a hundred arrows, fifty swords, and fifty shields to me, and send them to the forest in Tertashaw before evening. Home. Otherwise, I will never forgive you, do you hear me clearly? The knight in the lead uttered these words, and the horse neighed again, with a strong murderous look in his eyes.

When the noble youth heard the numbers, his face immediately turned bitter.

This batch of weapons is not too many, nor are they too few, the noble youth simply nodded and said: My lord knight, I will definitely report this to my lord lord.

Seeing that he was quite sensible, the knight nodded and turned to leave.

Back in the team, they muttered a few words, and the team left.

It wasn't until the group of people left that the group of sentinels let out a sigh of relief. Some of them, even their inner clothes were soaked, were frightened.

My lord, did you just let them go like this? They were going to rob. After the group of knights had traveled a certain distance, one of the knights urged his horse to come to the leaders and asked in confusion.

As the knights of the Lord of Radiance, they saw clearly the situation just now, and felt very uncomfortable.

The knight leader said with a sneer: What time is it now? There is no time to take care of these trivial matters. The Grand Master of the Center has issued a death order. If we do not occupy that mysterious area before tomorrow morning, we will all be severely punished. Compared with the mission, these trivial things will be the same in the future. What's more, it is just a group of untouchables, and it is important to gather weapons as soon as possible. After several days of fighting, there is a serious shortage of weapons, and we need to recruit some quickly.

Upon hearing this, the knight who asked the question just now nodded, expressing his understanding.

Dozens of fast horses. Head towards another territory and move quickly.

At the same time, in a temporary tent in the border forest, cigarettes were lingering, and the decoration was very comfortable and gorgeous.

The central archbishop sat on the soft bed, listening to the news that was constantly being reported.

Haven't you moved forward yet? The central archbishop frowned and stood up.

In front of several subordinates, he took a few steps, and looked coldly at those who observed the situation: Now the weapon has ordered the people below to recruit, and the new personnel will arrive before noon today. Everything is in place, what do you think we have a chance of winning?

Your Excellency, we have a good chance of winning. A bishop replied.

If it is to capture the mysterious area of ​​the elves before tomorrow morning, what are the chances of winning? the central archbishop asked again.

Hearing this, several bishops looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

Pass my order, at all costs, launch a general attack after dinner, and capture the mysterious area before tomorrow morning. If today is later, then even if it is captured, it will be useless. Do you understand? He said coldly Looking at the few people coldly: This is a divine metaphor, what is the consequence of violating the divine metaphor, I think you who are familiar with the scriptures know it very well!

Under his gaze, these bishops couldn't help shivering: Understood.

Going against the oracle, the kingdom of the great and glorious lord awaits them, and the eternal flame of punishment also awaits them. This is a consequence infinitely more terrifying than death.

Almost at the same time, in the center of the barracks, bursts of prayers were being issued in the temporary temple.

One of the preparatory paladins, Obic, ate a simple and hearty meal, and his several wounds have all healed up. The priest spared no expense to fully heal the wounds, even allowing limited drinking.

However, Obic was not interested in drinking, because of blood loss, he just wanted to go back to bed and sleep. This Obic thought for a while, and began to pray to the Lord of Radiance.

...May your will be done on earth! Obic thought, and then he thought of his wife, who had green eyes and skin browned by the sun.

After praying, he felt a lot more relieved. He lay on the bed and fell asleep within a short time.

Before dusk, he could still sleep for ten novels. Although the wound was healed, it would take some time to recover his physical strength.

A moment later, a priest came and found Obic who was already asleep, nodded his head, and went out again without any interruption.

All fighters must sleep. If there is no sleep, use magic to force sleep. A bishop said sternly: You must carefully examine all fighters.

Yes, my lord bishop! All the priests are also very tired, but there are special treats for special occasions. At this critical time, priests can pray twice, that is to say, they can obtain divine spells twice in one day.

This is said to be the privilege of a powerful god, and it places a huge burden on the priest himself, but, in special times, this is too much to take care of. (!)
