Chapter 357 (1/2)
The wolf's howl rang through the whole blood skeleton Valley and jumped at the church Knights like a lone boat.
Maybe it was expected, maybe not; Nazer, the church knight who followed the clue all the way, stared at the ice wolves roaring at them. There was no fear and dignity on his face, only uncontrollable enthusiasm.
The church's light infantry formed two thin fronts at the outermost edge; The archers holding the bow stood in the first row, their long halberds were inserted in the snow beside them, ready to charge with halberds at any time, and behind them were the robes of shield array.
The six church knights who came with them stood behind the front line, raised their long swords with silver radiance in both hands, and the flame of war poured out of the pupils behind the blade.
”Everybody, get ready!”
The low roaring church Knight Nazareth strode forward, inserted his secret silver sword into the snow in front of him, looked around and raised his right fist: ”to the Holy Cross
Prove your faith -! ”
”For the Holy Cross -!!!”
The team with only a hundred people broke out a roar without fear, and even took a step forward with tacit understanding!
The roaring ice werewolf was like a tide. Gazing at the blade in his hand, Naze suddenly remembered the day when he made the oath of ”shield of defense” to the holy cross a long time ago.
The church knight who made this oath must always stop in the north of the Empire, always serve as the guard of the fortress of duanjie mountain, and must not go south. He must also cut off relations with his family and the past, can not bear offspring, nor inherit and inherit titles. As a knight of the Holy Cross, he will fight to the last moment and shed the last drop of blood.
The knight who sticks to this oath will gain the power to perform ”miracles” - the reputation of reciting the Holy Cross. He will be invincible. No matter how terrible the power is, it is difficult to cause fatal damage; And the more he bled, the braver he fought!
Like his oath, he will become a strong shield to defend his faith.
Priests preach with scriptures, while Knights defend their faith with vows; Relying on such a system, the power of the Holy Cross Church will be unshakable in the whole Saxophone empire.
Naze thought of his little son, who finally chose to become a wizard and studied alchemy at the Royal College in the capital Golovin.
He still remembers the regretful and sarcastic eyes of his youngest son Dane on the day he officially made the oath. He thought that his foolish and superstitious father had completely abandoned his family and would rather hide in the north than accept the ”truth” discovered by wizards who had insight into the world.
If so, that's it.
Let the children do what they want, and protect the empire from harm is the mission of the Holy Cross and himself as a father; They only need to pursue their dreams. They never need to know how terrible demons, evil gods and monsters exist.
Because they never need and will never face all this - this is their faith and mission!
”Holy Cross, I sincerely praise you; please give me the power of punishment to your enemies...”
The chief Knight Naze pulled out his big sword from the snow, and his eyes were full of fanatical light:
”Lower the divine judgment -!!!!”
…………………………………………………………………………
As soon as the first Icefield werewolf jumped up, he was instantly split into two pieces by the oncoming sword. Scattered meat and plasma gushed on the church Knight Naze, making the chief Knight's roar like a ghost!
The blade swept across, and the shrill roar of the torn air even covered the cold wind in winter, which stained the center of the front with blood red.
More ice werewolves launched an attack, roaring from all directions to the thin front of the church army, like a white storm to the thin front.
