Chapter 307 No One Left Behind

Because the combat effectiveness of the top leaders of the hideout, including Seth and Rand, as well as Rand's personal guards, is indeed amazing.

Plus Karin's deterrence and personal action.

After several rounds of fighting, even the determined paladin lost his will to fight and planned to escape or surrender.

But Rand had no intention of letting them go.

"Kill them all," Rand ordered coldly.

And Rand's warriors also faithfully obeyed Rand's orders.

Like, "We surrender, and we are willing to serve you."

Or "If you kill us, the Grand Knight will not let you go."

Neither Rand nor the guards paid any attention to these words.

At least the speed of swinging the weapon in his hand was not slow at all.

As for the escapees, Rand specifically asked Ellie and Elsa not to participate in the final fight, but to stay outside the battlefield.

Any enemies left on the loose will have to face Ellie's magic and Elsa's dagger.

Rand personally killed several paladins of the Torch Church.

Today, Rand has personally experienced adventures and fought in battles, only to discover that his fighting ability in this world is actually quite strong.

The elite Torchlight Church Paladins were no match for Rand on the battlefield.

Now Rand finally has the right to be called brave.

But when the battle was almost over and Rand stopped swinging his greatsword, Olenna immediately complained that he did not take good care of himself.

Rand scanned the battlefield, using the blessing bestowed by the Torch Goddess 6: Favor of the Torch Goddess (Unknown) to sense the battlefield.

This blessing is a passive skill. It does not need to be activated to exist all the time, but Rand needs to pay attention to it in order to perceive it more clearly.

This perception can be used to roughly distinguish between good and evil. For example, the paladins of the Torchlight Church are perceived as good, while the cultists are perceived as evil.

However, the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty no longer seems to be classified as a cult.

Rand's perception swept across the battlefield, and now he discovered that this ability could also be used to distinguish between the living and the dead. After all, as long as the dead were not resurrected as undead, they had no good or evil.

Rand accurately pointed out several Torchlight Paladins who were pretending to be dead or were seriously injured but not dead yet, and asked his men to finish them off.

In short, Rand did not let any of the paladins who participated in the massacre go, no matter they were running away, fighting to the death, begging for mercy, or pretending to be dead.

Only after Rand sensed that the Torch Church Paladins were only his own members did he order them to rest and treat the wounded.

Overall, the losses this time were acceptable. There were many injuries, but very few deaths.

There were a total of 142 guards, with 40 injured and killed.

In other places during this era, deaths and injuries were actually lumped together, because medical care was scarce in this era, and the probability of death from injury was very high.

Rand's army is much better. Over the years, Rand has been committed to promoting the medical knowledge written in the doctrine, which has greatly reduced the probability of death after the soldiers were injured.

This is also one of Rand's secrets to maintaining the morale of the troops.

Karin dismounted and walked over to Rand, who was directing the treatment of the wounded.

At this moment, Karin's body was covered in blood, just like Rand.

She looks more like a saint of a cult, not a saint of the Torch Church.

Karin looked at the bodies of the Torchlight Church Paladins scattered all over the ground and said, "What are you going to do with them?"

"I plan to chop off the heads of these people, put them in a box and send them to the Grand Knight in the New Holy City." Rand sneered.

The overall strength of Count Rand is nothing compared to that of the Torch Church.

Compared with the utilitarian faction of the Torch Church that has now split away, it is not worth mentioning.

But even if Rand let these people go, the Torch Church of the New Holy City, which regarded Rand's Cult of the Goddess of Fertility as a heresy, would never let him go.

In any era, weakness will only lead to bullying.

So Rand decided to take a tough stance, at least to make the forces of the New Holy City realize that the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty has grown and is not to be trifled with.

If you want to destroy this "heretic", you must be prepared to pay a sufficient price!

"I thought you were always kind?" Karin's calm voice reached Rand's ears.

Rand smiled and said, "I am the leader of a cult."

Karin rolled her eyes. Ever since she became an adult, she hardly made such an undignified expression, but now she felt helpless.

He actually openly admitted in front of her, a saint, that he was the leader of a cult! In Karin's eyes, Rand's past actions had always been kind. At least compared to other noble lords, Rand must be kind.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At least those prisoners of war, those bandits, and even some cultists would be eligible to redeem themselves by working for Rand.

Although the work is hard, as long as you don't cause trouble, you won't get whipped too much.

But now, Rand actually planned to do a barbaric act of packing the heads of more than 300 people in a box and sending them away.

As Rand's accomplice, Karin did not disapprove of Rand's actions, but she felt that Rand lacked experience.

"No," Karin said.

"I think we must shock the Grand Knight and make him realize that we are not easy to mess with," Rand said.

Karin was a little reluctant to say "we", but she did intend to cooperate with the cult leader in depth. She said, "What kind of box do you think can hold more than 300 heads?"

Rand reacted. He had no experience with this kind of thing, but if he thought about it carefully, even if he packed it into many boxes, the cost would be very high.

"Then cut off their ears and put them in a box?" Rand looked at Karin as if he were an elder.

Karin turned her head away, thinking that she shouldn't remind Rand of this, because he would find out when he really did it anyway.

"I've never done anything like this before." Karin said, turning her head away.

Rand did not doubt this, but seeing that Karin intended to maintain her identity as the Saint of the Torch Church, he did not continue the conversation.

The ears of these killed paladins were cut off at Rand's request, and then put into a bag, and then a big box was found when they returned to Full Moon Territory.

As for the bodies of the Torch Church, their clothes and armor were stripped off and then burned.

Their armor and clothes were made of high-quality materials, which Rand planned to recycle.

As for burning corpses, it is a tradition of the Rand Army.

It was not until nightfall that the fire for burning the bodies was ready.

Rand watched from afar as his men burned the bodies of the Torchlight Church Paladins.

He took a piece of silk from the guard beside him.

This is a briefing report found on a corpse. It seems that the Torch Church Paladins also have the habit of writing military reports and submitting them.

Rand did not read the briefing immediately, but continued to stare at the smoke from the burning bodies in the distance.
