Paladin

The new wind has stopped for a while, and the heavy snow falls silently like a goose feather on the snow all over the ground.

On the cliff, hundreds of highlander soldiers slid down the rope without anyone noticing, following Ms. Keriser's order, preparing to raid the camp of the paladins.

Hugo, the Inspector General of the Holy City, spotted the enemy almost immediately. He gathered a total of 23 paladins, all of whom had extremely rich experience in anti-sneak attack operations, and formed a formation almost immediately.

Xuefeng's soldiers found that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, surrounded the camp and began to attack.

A flaming arrow was shot into the sky. It was the highlanders notifying the fortress that their sneak attack plan had failed; followed by another firework exploding nearby. This was Hugo notifying Evan that the camp had happened. Accident.

The paladins formed a circle, no more than half a meter apart from each other, erecting their shields steadily and calmly.No one was afraid, and no one was even shaken. They silently carried out Hugo's orders.

Xuefeng's soldiers were several times that of the paladins. After surrounding them, they only waited for an order, and the first wave of arrows immediately poured out.

"Kuharador!" Hugo shouted, and with the unique command method of the Holy See, the knights raised their shields - dense arrows covered their camp like a dark cloud, but the silver giant shield tightly surrounded them.

The first wave of arrows stopped quickly, and Xuefeng's crossbowmen re-strung; at this time, the enemy commander clearly saw that none of the arrows could penetrate the shield of the Paladin, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to stop the second wave. Shoot rounds and stand by.

The horn sounded suddenly, and the Xuefeng soldiers rushed forward immediately. They surrounded the camp of the paladins like a tide; and Hugo also ordered: "rashingar!"

The hand-to-hand combat began in just a few seconds. The paladins raised their half-shields and a knight's sword in one hand. They wore the most elite plate armor, and they were extremely tough both physically and mentally.

The soldiers of Xuefeng slammed on the defense line like a sea tide, but it was like hitting on a white rock, they easily fell apart, and their lives were harvested by the knight's sword!

The paladin's line of defense was completely motionless, each of them was facing an enemy several times their own, but no one retreated, and no one dodged, allowing the enemy's corpses to quickly spread a layer under their feet.

Standing behind the archers, Commander Xuefeng began to realize the absolute difference in combat power of his own side. When the horn of Xuefeng sounded again, the soldiers' attack temporarily stopped.

The paladin didn't move his pace from the beginning to the end, and he didn't bother to chase it out; Hugo stood calmly and looked at Xuefeng's team, and ordered again after a while: "targar!"

The next moment, the paladins unloaded their shields in unison, and the sound of the shields falling into the snow was as neat as one person. They held the knight's sword with both hands and stood it upright in front of them. The sharp cold light reflected in the layers of snow, All are extremely sharp blades.

The highlander crossbowmen stood in two rows, the first row kneeling on one knee; behind them the commander, horrified to see the paladins preparing to attack, shouted: "Shoot! Free fire!"

The sound of arrows being fired from the snow crossbow immediately swarmed, and the arrows were densely packed, piercing through the snow curtain again and spreading out.

Hugo chanted in a low voice, and the light of divine magic lit up in front of all the paladins one after another, and a barrier made of light loomed in front of them.

The first arrow will soon reach the front of the formation. During this one-thousandth of a second, the paladins are as calm as a rock.

The next moment, an incomparably brilliant holy light flew out beyond everyone's expectations. It flew close to the ground, but the glow wove a height of two meters, like a curtain of light, completely separating the two armies. .

The arrows all over the sky were forcibly split by the terrible force, and they were almost turned into powder; the light was so dazzling in the snow curtain that everyone almost stopped for a moment.

Evan jumped off the top of the cliff and landed in the center of the battlefield.

The snow splashed out, and when he stood up, there was not a trace of frost and snow within four or five yards. He was standing on the black frozen soil, with a phoenix long sword across his right hand, and looked back slightly at the rain. Fruit at a glance.

Hugo said solemnly: "Evan, they are soldiers of the Snow Wind Sect."

Evan nodded slightly, and looked at the Xuefeng soldiers in front of him. They were at a loss and still surrounded here.

Evan looked at them for a moment: These soldiers are definitely not the opponents of the Knights Templar, but in terms of combat quality, they can already be regarded as a good army. If they are facing the ordinary scout team of the Holy See at this moment, I am afraid they have already been defeated. The sneak attack was successful and the massacre was wiped out.

"We have no intention of fighting you, nor are we here to attack you. But remember: if you provoke again, the Knights Templar will never tolerate again." Evan stood in the middle of the battlefield and said solemnly, "I know your The leader is 'Lady Cariser', please tell her that Evan Palatine wishes to meet with her and talk about today."

At this moment, Xuefeng's commander has realized the disparity in strength between the enemy and us. When the horn sounded again, Xuefeng's soldiers retreated vigilantly, and then climbed up the cliff again. They were extremely sensitive, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow.

"Allow the alarm!" Hugo ordered again, and the paladins who were waiting solemnly took off their guard and regrouped.

"Is anyone hurt?" Evan asked.

Hugo simply looked around for a moment. The paladins only fought for a short while. They were shot by two bows and crossbows. One person was slightly injured, but the divine magic healed his wound immediately.

Their fighting power was unscathed.

Evan felt relieved, and then noticed something: "Where's the mountain? Where's the highlander fool in the camp?"

They looked at the tents, and the mountains disappeared without a trace.Hugo speculated: "I'm afraid they were taken away by those Xuefeng soldiers during the battle."

Paladins have their own rules when fighting, they are extremely focused, they cooperate closely, and there is no place for mountains in the formation.If that idiot hadn't run out by himself, he might have been captured by the Xuefeng Sect.

Evan sighed and said: "I will find a way to solve his problem. Hugo, this camp can't stay anymore, we retreated outside the White Dragon Valley, and tried to send a letter to inform the general court that the Snow Wind Sect is here ...prepare for a war."

The fort outside the Dragon's Throat, the imprisoned phoenix, and Lady Cariser standing on the altar flashed through his mind, as well as the blizzard and flood that affected half the empire in the dream...

The Xuefeng Sect has at least tens of thousands of troops, and the problem here cannot be solved by a small team of the Knights Templar.If war breaks out...is the flood inevitable?

"Check the corpses here, gather the ones that are still alive and take them away, we need more information." Evan ordered again, "Then leave immediately."

The Paladin team remounted their horses and ran back along the path.They passed by the hotels and houses in the White Dragon Valley, and all the doors and windows were tightly closed.

A tripping rope was erected on the street. If it wasn't for the cautious style of the Knights Templar, some of the horses might have been damaged.All the highlanders here are missing. I'm afraid the whole town is just a disguise of the Xuefeng Sect.

Two of the Xuefeng soldiers who attacked survived, and Evan interrogated them while riding.One of them committed suicide immediately after waking up, but he didn't say a word after being rescued by Evan; the other cursed angrily: "Pigs of the empire! The Snow Goddess will punish you soon!"

Evan was riding on a horse, holding the reins of the two captives' war horses, and he didn't hesitate when he heard the words, he beat him up in Hewitt's way first, and then asked: "Who is Ms. Keriser? "

The prisoner gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you call the Goddess's spokesperson in the world by the name! The Goddess will..."

Without hesitation, Evan smashed his scabbard on the side of his face again, interrupting his words, and then said coldly: "I don't have time to listen to these words, talk about what you imprisoned me...Phoenix, what are you trying to do again?" ?”

"You don't want to get any information from me!" the prisoner said angrily.

The horse galloped quickly, and Evan crouched on the horse's back, hearing this and glanced at the prisoner.Torture and stereotypes have never been his forte, he thought to himself: What would Hewitt do if he were here?

Evan thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't speak up. The Xuefeng Sect will be destroyed soon, and it doesn't matter what you think..."

Anger flashed in the eyes of the captive on horseback, and he cursed loudly in Nestorian slang.

Evan didn't care, he didn't understand anyway, and he didn't even bother to continue beating him. He just brewed it up, and continued to say in his familiar poisonous tone: "The highlanders are not this material at all, give up. Honestly, I'm in the snow." It’s fine to go hunting here, why do you believe in the Snow Wind Goddess? Look at your ghostly looks now..."

When Evan said this, he turned his head and took a breath, thinking: Is it a bit vicious...God, let's find Hewett...

Just thinking of this, the prisoner suddenly retorted angrily: "Isn't it because of you group of imperial pigs that we are like this now? The mountains of Nestor and the Morrigan Plain have belonged to us since many years ago! Yes! The Mankassa shamelessly attacked us, took our rich plains, drove us into the snowfields, and demanded that we belong to the Kasa Empire—why?!"

His face was red, he was extremely angry, and the veins on his forehead burst out, and he roared angrily:

"'The Mankasa and the Highlanders are as close as family'? Pooh, you are just robbers, robbers! After you took away our homeland, insulted our Snow Wind Goddess, and destroyed our country, you still want to let We obey you like dogs? Let me tell you, if the snow wind does not stop for a day, the blood of Dusa will not be anyone's slave! The goddess Xuefeng will rule the world, just like the province of Nestor will be independent!"
