The Knights' Sin

Raguel followed Arthur Lionheart to a celestial land consisting of three hundred Sky City connected together.

This is the core of the A24 Defense Line, where the A24 Military Prison is located.

Originally, this was the headquarters of the Bloody Knight Order, the Distant Light Knight Order, and the Dark Feather Knight Order.

However, after Arthur Lionheart suppressed the rebellion, he transferred some of the Knight of Virtue Knight Order to garrison the area to fill the vacancies.

Of course, he also requested reinforcements from the rear, but the reserve forces are currently strained, and it's unclear when they will be available.

Arthur Lionheart led Raguel across various buildings on the A24 Heavenly Land, finally arriving at a completely enclosed super Star Sea prison.

Inside, the captured rebel Knight of the Grand Knight orders are imprisoned.

When Raguel, adorned with twelve pure white wings, entered the prison, the many dejected Transcendent Knight inside suddenly showed glimmers of hope in their eyes.

They knelt down and wept loudly.

"It is the King of Knight, Lord Arthur!"

"And the Chief Angel of Heavenly Retribution, the Lord of the Raguel!"

"Lord Arthur, we confess!"

Please forgive our crimes.

"Raguel, we are willing to repent!"

"Raguel, please allow us to atone for our sins!"

Arthur Lionheart remained unmoved and showed disgust in the face of these people's pleas and confessions.

He was a perfect Knight who followed the code of Knight and the founder of the noble Knight system, including the Virtuous Virtue Knight.

His requirements regarding moral character are particularly important.

Especially those who betray their own faction and their own beliefs.

He believed that these people were unworthy of being Knight.

He cannot tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that these rebellious Knight in this prison still had some value, he would have wanted to kill them all when suppressing the rebellion.

now.

When Arthur Lionheart saw these rebels still weeping and complaining, he was filled with rage.

"Enough, you bunch of traitors!"

"To betray one's beliefs, to betray one's family and friends, to betray one's comrades."

You are not fit to be Knight!

Arthur Lionheart's rage, fueled by his divine power, poured forth across the prison, and the boundless power of the Sun raised the temperature throughout the entire facility.

After Arthur vented his anger, most of the rebellious Knight fell silent, with only a few remaining Knight cried out in frustration and resentment.

"Adults, we were also misled."

"Hmph, what bewitching? It's clearly your lack of resolve. Otherwise, out of the 3,981 Knight orders stationed on the Mingfalang Starfield Battlefield, why were only three of you bewitched?"

Arthur Lionheart shouted angrily.

"You call yourselves Knight? There's even Thought Knight among you who primarily cultivates willpower!"

Suddenly, the entire prison fell silent.

Beside Arthur Lionheart, Raguel waited Jingjing.

After Arthur Lionheart had vented his anger, he calmed down, nodded to Arthur Lionheart, and then stepped forward to address the rebellious Knight in the prison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you surely know my identity. I am the Chief Angel of Heavenly Retribution, and also the ruler of the Dark Tribunal."

"Your rebellion on the edge of the Milky Way nearly allowed the enemy to break through the defenses at A24 and penetrate deep into the heart of the Milky Way."

"You should understand that you have committed the sin of treason, which is unforgivable."

"I'm confused, why are you doing this?"

"In this battle to protect the River God, although we were at a disadvantage, we did not allow the Gray Legion to break through the Milky Way even once."

"Besides, your families are all within the Milky Way and the Astral Realm, so why would you rebel?"

"Then answer me now."

After Raguel finished speaking, he fell silent, looking at the group of rebellious Knight and waiting for them to speak.

Soon, a powerful middle-aged Knight stood up.

Raguel noticed him; the middle-aged Knight had remained silent until now.

The middle-aged Knight looked at Raguel seriously, a hint of regret in his eyes, and then he spoke.

"Raguel, I am Human Race Knight from the World Tree Star Domain. I have always been proud of my origins, and I have always steadfastly upheld my beliefs. I have never had any thoughts of rebellion."

"Then why did you rebel?"

"Raguel asked."

"I don't know either!"

The middle-aged Knight's answer surprised him.

"You didn't know?"

"That's right, Raguel. Ever since that day of rebellion, I've been pondering the reasons, and I've actually discovered a clue."

The middle-aged Knight answered.

"Go on."

Raguel nodded.

"That day was actually quite strange. At that time, we had just fought for seven days and seven nights, repelling an attack by the nation-state legion led by the seventh leader of the False God Civilization, and returned to the planetary fortress to rest."

"By then, the brothers were exhausted and desperately needed rest."

"But at that moment, Hand, the strategist beside Commander Mondes of the Dark Feather Legion Commander, came to our camp and ordered us to go to the ' Heavenly Continent ' to await orders. There was a new secret combat mission that we needed to carry out."

"At that time, although we were all exhausted, our faith and hatred for the Gray Legion motivated us to continue fighting."

"However, when we arrived on the Heavenly Continent, we did not see the Legion Commander of the Grand Knight orders, but only their two staff officers and the vice-commander of the Distant Light Knight Order."

"After we had assembled, a continuous drumbeat suddenly resounded throughout the entire starry sky."

"Then, under the beat of those drums, we were bewitched. Our jealousy and anger overwhelmed us, and we completely lost our reason, ultimately leading to the rebellion."

"When the drumbeats subsided and we regained a sliver of our senses, we had already slaughtered all the defenders of the Heavenly Continent, and the commanders of the Grand Knight orders lay dead before us, their weapons dripping with blood."

"We realized we'd messed up."

"But we weren't fully lucid at the time, and Lord Arthur led his army to suppress us. I remember at that moment, I wanted to lay down my weapons and surrender, but someone shouted, ' Arthur will definitely kill us, brothers, pick up your weapons and fight back!' So we went back..."

What followed was the process of suppression, which the middle-aged Knight recounted bit by bit.

After listening, Raguel looked thoughtful.

"It seems the enemy has infiltrated our ranks!"
