These Lion Territory cavalry and mercenaries began to imitate each other. Seven or eight people gathered around each other and began to use the hammering method - they all used blunt weapons. They probably thought that using hammers would be more effective...
But the problem is that they are obviously not as powerful as Meitengheim people, nor are they as skilled in blacksmithing skills.
The effect is there, Misfortune Bringer, who is half crazy, really can't withstand such an attack.
But none of the cavalry could achieve their goal of capturing them - most of the Misfortune Bringers ended up having their Tianling Caps broken, and then fell to the ground and died.
The other half, Misfortune Bringer, actually killed a lot of cavalry because of this unskilled siege.
They didn't sink into the ground...
But they did not take the opportunity to run away, but swarmed towards Li Ang!
The lord tumbled out and Meitengheim people stepped forward to resist them.
However, naturally there was a gap, and one of them, Misfortune Bringer, successfully jumped beside the dead prophet.
Kloze only got up with difficulty at this time. He was almost knocked out by the prophet's kick. The heavy armor on his waist even had an obvious dent due to the kick just now - the power of that kick was enough to charge on a war horse!
When Kloze stood up, he happened to see Misfortune Bringer, who was 1.9 meters tall, hugging the fallen prophet.
"Sir, this is the one next to Madam Bella!"
He shouted loudly and flew towards him with his sword.
Last time in Long River Town, this woman jumped into the river and escaped. Kloze was obviously a little bit upset.
But then, this Misfortune Bringer picked up the broad-bladed knife and forced Kloze back with one blow.
It wasn't even called forcing him to retreat, but he took the initiative to slash Kloze's big sword, causing a harsh roar and huge sparks.
The big sword bent into an arc, and Kloze was knocked back several steps, and the handle of the sword cracked!
Li Ang clearly saw that Misfortune Bringer seemed to have regained her clarity, her eyes were no longer blood red, and her expression was no longer crazy.
This woman's expression turned into the same look as Three Prophets at this moment, without any human emotions!
Li Ang rushed forward again with his sword in hand.
Kloze was also surprised and raised his sword and pressed forward again, but after the woman just made a thunderous sweep, the two of them were repelled again and flew three meters away again.
And this time, the woman spoke, "No one can kill us! Hehe hehe..."
This is definitely not the power that Misfortune Bringer can have!
This is the prophet!
They can actually borrow corpses to bring back souls!
The lord suddenly realized - every Misfortune Bringer is a spare body that Three Prophets found for himself!
They can be replaced with these Misfortune Bringer at any time!
But there's probably a price to pay. Misfortune Bringer's original soul will definitely be erased, or in other words, sacrificed.
The strength of the new body is probably not as high as the original one.
No wonder... no wonder they ran away with only the uninjured Misfortune Bringer!
No wonder all their Misfortune Bringers are over 1.8 meters tall. This is to better adapt to the powerful strength of Three Prophets!
"Kill those Misfortune Bringer first!"
The lord couldn't get up for a while, so he sat on the ground and ordered his men to kill all Misfortune Bringer to prevent Three Prophets from resurrecting again.
At this time, the prophet rushed into the crowd and rescued the other two prophets with a broad-bladed knife.
Then, the three prophets rushed out side by side in the same direction.
But they were not escaping from the direction, but took the initiative to rush into the place where the Lion Territory cavalry were gathered.
Three Prophets took the initiative to attack the Lion Territory cavalry who was waiting in fear.
"I swear by my blood to uphold justice..."
They sang a song-like prayer again. This prayer could obviously control those Misfortune Bringer, and the remaining Misfortune Bringer went crazy again, desperately holding back the lord's troops.
Afterwards, the three prophets easily chopped down several frightened Lion Territory cavalry and snatched away their horses!
All the Lion Territory cavalry and mercenary groups saw their flesh and blood armor, and also saw how the lord was easily knocked away. These men did not want to fight against this monster, and they all retreated...
The three prophets actually seized the horses and ran out quickly.
"Who is blaspheming Goddess of Justice!"
Just when Li Ang thought Three Prophets would run away because of this, a knight came galloping from the south. Before the person arrived, the sound was heard from afar.
Judging from the voice, this knight must be quite old, but his voice can be clearly heard two hundred meters away. It seems to be exactly the same as the way Three Prophets pronounces the prayer!
Moreover, his voice actually covered up the chanting of Three Prophets.
He wore a black and white knight's robe, held a white extended lance, carried a fan-shaped shield on his back, rode a white horse, and had white feathers on the top of his helmet.
"Heresy! Die!"
The knight rushed directly towards Three Prophets, who was still chanting prayers, and without hesitation raised his lance and launched a charge!
Li Ang took a breath and climbed up, mounted Alice again, reached out to grab a lance from a cavalryman, and rushed towards Three Prophets's back.
The leader, the tall Misfortune Bringer, the prophet who had just changed his body, held up a long broad-bladed sword and faced the knight.
The moment the two horses crossed each other, the knight's spear tip swung left and right, and then stabbed Misfortune Bringer in the shoulder!
This knight seemed to be very familiar with the prophet's martial arts. He managed to knock the prophet off his horse with a shot that didn't seem to be very fast!
Another prophet holding an ax and shield had already turned around on horseback - when she turned back, she saw Li Ang behind her.
After seeing the knight's successful performance with one shot, the lord also shook the tip of the spear, and then fiercely handed the lance to his left hand!
Alice's originally left-leaning route was also moved to the right by Li Ang.
So, when the two horses passed each other, he successfully knocked the prophet off his horse with one blow!
The lord is a fast learner - this knight's shot made him understand that Three Prophets is only powerful, quick to react and highly proficient, but the martial arts they know are very simple!
As long as there are techniques they have never seen before, they can't stop them - their bodies don't belong to them, they don't have the instinct to fight, they just rely on strength and reaction to defeat their opponents.
As long as they don't have time to think about what to do, it doesn't matter how powerful or fast they are - their brains can't react!
Using a gun with the left hand is not unusual at first, but when the line was about to come into contact, the line was suddenly changed, and the gun was suddenly switched from the right hand to the left hand. The prophet had probably never seen it before, and he was immediately confused.
Before she could react, the lord's gun had already arrived.
This shot also hit the shoulder socket. I also learned this from that knight. Instead of pursuing a fatal blow, it was effective.
The only prophet still riding a horse did not move, because in front of her was the knight, and behind her was Li Ang. The two powerful knights circled around the arc and came towards her at the same time!
"Roland! It's you!"
She seemed to recognize the knight, shouted, and drove her horse to meet the knight.
"It's me! Heretic, suffer death!"
The two passed each other again, and the prophet was shot in the side again and fell off the horse.
The lord also rushed past the two of them at this time, but he still did not put away his gun. Instead, he rushed towards the tall Misfortune Bringer who was shot down by the knight before with his lance - she stood up again.
This time, she was stabbed in the other shoulder by Li Ang!
The lance was broken, and the prophet had obviously lost most of her combat effectiveness. She lay down on the ground with a long spearhead stuck in her shoulder, and her bones must have been broken.
"What a great skill! May Goddess of Justice protect you!"
The knight praised, but he did not stop. Just like Li Ang, he once again rushed towards the other prophet who had just climbed up with his lance.
He also destroyed the other hand of the prophet - the dragon bone ax flew out, and his lance also broke, piercing the prophet's shoulder.
By this time, the soldiers had cleared away the remaining Misfortune Bringer and rushed over.
All three prophets fell from their horses, all of them were injured, and they were about to die!
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
"Hoooohooooo..."
"Sir, Lion Knight Order is here!"
The whistle of Owl Knight Order and the shout of Kloze came at the same time.
Li Ang stopped his horse and looked back.
That's Ryman...
He is coming here with a large number of Lion Knight.
The three prophets got up and gathered together again, all with injuries, but they were no longer expressionless, and seemed to have a sarcastic smile, "Huh huh huh... Roland, you can't kill us... Little lord, black and white Griffin flag, I remember you!"
What does it mean?
Do you dare to say harsh words under such circumstances?
They think Lion Knight Order is here to save them?!
"Brothers, chop them to death!"
Li Ang was a little far away from the three prophets. Seeing that Kloze had already rushed over with people, Li Ang shouted, and then he greeted Lion Knight Order.
"Ryman, are you here to catch heretics?"
The lord rushed straight to the middle of the road and stopped the leader Ryman.
Ryman stopped, but the Lion Knight behind him did not stop. They bypassed Li Ang and rushed to the three prophets.
Blocked Kloze them.
"According to the order of His Majesty the King, I will bring these witches back to Lion City for interrogation."
Ryman then answered, his expression seemed a little complicated.
"Are you sure you are taking them back for interrogation? Not to save them?"
The Lord Lord frowned, and his words contained a hint of ridicule.
"Huh...Lord Li Ang, I don't know why your Majesty issued such an order, but I am Lion Knight, and my duty is to obey your Majesty's orders..."
Ryman sighed, and there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions in his words.
"What were the king's exact words? To 'bring these witches back'?"
Li Ang suddenly felt that what Ryman said was true - he seemed very calm, but his expression was unswerving, and he seemed to be very unwilling to carry out this task, but he could not break his oath of allegiance to the king.
"I received the order at Seven Forks Fortress, and His Majesty personally came to Seven Forks Fortress to give it. His Majesty's original words were, 'Those three witches led troops to surround Long River Town, go and bring them to Lion City'."
Ryman's voice was very soft and he explained patiently.
Prophet Legion stayed outside Long River Town for many days. Someone will definitely report military information to Lion City. It is normal for the king to know about their existence.
But the king's order was just to 'bring those three witches to Lion City'?
"This is a heretic leading a large army to siege the city... The king's order is not to destroy their troops? Haven't you ever questioned such an order?"
The lord suddenly felt a little depressed, Ulrich, what do you want to do?
"I am your Majesty's direct knight, Lord Li Ang. I really cannot question your Majesty's orders..."
Ryman seems to be hesitant to speak.
"Ryman... When you passed Trublen before, you should have discovered that the heretics massacred that village. Why didn't you tell me about this? Who are you hiding it for?"
Li Ang once again thought of Ryman's confusing behavior.
"Lord Li Ang, I have been strictly ordered not to disclose anything related to the pursuit of heretics to anyone. I'm sorry... I have to leave!"
Ryman wanted to leave after saying that.
But Li Ang grabbed the reins of his horse. "Ryman... are you really Lion Knight? What is the first clause of Lion Knight's oath? To maintain the stability of the country, right! Can heretics make the country stable? Can the massacre of villages make the country stable?"
Ryman shook his head and said softly, "I arrived early this morning, Lord Li Ang, and I just happened to witness you defeat Prophet Legion. So I waited until now to come out...Owl Knight Order I know Ols from, and he also sent me some news. I think you can understand why I waited until now. And you should also know what the consequences will be if I disobey His Majesty the King's order..."
Ryman's voice was very soft, and he didn't want others to hear these words.
Li Ang let go of his hand.
Ryman's face does look tired, as if he hasn't slept for a long time.
Those night owls originally only cooperated with Li Ang, and there was no loyalty relationship. As long as they did not tip off the heretics, they could not accuse others. They lived in the Lionheart Kingdom, and it was normal for them to make friends with well-known knights like Ryman.
"Ryman, I understand your difficulties. But please answer me a question... Trublen Village people, you knew it was a heretic, but you hid it. This is because the king knew that Three Prophets massacred there, but ordered you not to mention it, and even asked you to destroy the corpses to cover up the truth, right?"
Perhaps the words 'I understand your difficulties' played a role. Ryman finally looked at Li Ang with an expression on his face - a bitter smile.
He shook his head. "Lord Li Ang, I shouldn't have told you. But I don't want you to keep making wild guesses that will damage His Majesty's reputation. You must know that there are many careerists who call themselves Pendor orthodoxy and have been causing trouble, and Trublen Village was the place where careerists raised their troops before... They deserve to die."
"In other words, it was the king who asked Three Prophets to massacre that village in order to get rid of those rebellious 'careerists'? So... the king and Three Prophets have cooperated more than once? So this time Three Prophets surrounded Long River Town, is he also cooperating with the king?"
Ryman did not answer.
But he didn't deny it either.
He just silently drove his horse to the vicinity of Three Prophets and asked the Lion Knights to tie up the three witches.
The rope used by Lion Knight was very ordinary, and it was obviously impossible to tie up these three powerful women, but Three Prophets did not struggle at all.
This time, Ryman brought out most of Lion Knight Order's manpower. The knights and retinues totaled more than 1,200 people. This was obviously not only to shock Three Prophets, but also to prevent other "local troops" from messing around.
Ryman was able to hold them down for half a day, and waited until Three Prophets's troops were completely wiped out before coming out. This was already trying his best in another way.
Li Ang's army only has one hundred people, and he cannot openly disobey the king's will.
And those Lion Territory cavalry and mercenary groups didn't even dare to fart in front of Lion Knight Order.
A group of people watched helplessly as Three Prophets was taken away by Lion Knight Order.
Only the knight who charged towards Three Prophets drove his horse to Li Ang.
But he obviously didn't understand what this meant at all. "Since they are about to receive a fair trial, that is also a good thing. I hope Lion King will tie them to the stake..."
Li Ang shook his head. Of course he knew that Three Prophets would definitely not die, but he didn't know what to say.
I had to ask, "I am Baron Wheat Fragrance Territory Li Ang. Sir Roland. This is your name, right? Those three witches seem to know you? Do you know them?"
"I am Roland... I'm sorry, Sir, I don't know who they are or why they know me... I was once a member of Dawn Knight Order..."
The Dawn Knight Order mentioned by Sir Roland is the most powerful knight group of the Buckley Continent.
This knighthood honors Goddess of Justice Astaria.
Goddess of Justice Astaria is the main deity of the Buckley Continent. Although she no longer lives on the earth, she has always been the most respected deity of Barkley.
As a fanatical believer of Goddess of Justice, Dawn Knight Order is very famous.
Dawn Knight Order is not only active in the Buckley Continent, this famous knight also has an auditorium in the Pande Continent.
The auditorium is in Light Roar Bay of the Fieltzwe Kingdom, which is the coastal city closest to the Buckley Continent, separated by thousands of miles of vast sea - it is the first stop for sea trade between Barkley and Pande Continent.
But what makes Dawn Knight Order famous is not their strength, nor their belief in punishing evil and promoting good and upholding justice.
It's their extreme fanaticism.
When Dawn Knight Order was founded, they may have indeed practiced justice and upheld justice and the rule of law in the name of Astalia.
But as the knights became more and more fanatical, Dawn Knight Order gradually began to carry out his own 'justice' in the name of Goddess of Justice Astalia.
Anyone who makes some small mistakes or does not believe in Astaria will often be labeled as a 'heretic' by them, burned at the stake, and then divide the property of these 'heretics'...
Many innocent people were also accused of desecrating Astaria and burned at the stake.
Yes, Dawn Knight Order will, in the name of Goddess of Justice Astaria, kill at will anyone they think disrespects Goddess or is guilty and burn them at the stake.
What they did was no different than the most cruel bandits and heretics.
When they killed more and more innocent people, whether because they really fell into madness or out of conscience, they began to declare that everyone was guilty. After killing the sinners, Goddess would naturally classify them.
Dawn Knight Order believes that if a person is innocent, then even burning at the stake cannot harm him...
So they came to a perfect closed-loop conclusion - since they were burned to death, they were guilty.
Everyone will be burned to death, indicating that everyone is guilty...
Therefore, man is born with sin, so he must atone for his sin!
In fact, this kind of fanatical 'belief' is probably the direct reason why Astaria lost her godhead and left the mainland - this Goddess of Justice was turned into a tool to kill people by her own believers!
But the Dawn Knights are not the kind of scoundrels who are afraid of death and bully the weak. Even when faced with dozens of times the number of "heresies" they consider guilty, they never flinch.
They will still wave their long swords and charge with their white lances, either to 'purify' the heretics or to 'atone for their sins' themselves.
Yes, they are a group of wise men who are so fanatical that they misinterpret justice at will, and are so extreme that they turn justice into lynching.
