She thought of the huge ship and her young, proud, carefree self.
She remembered the unpleasant meeting with him at the dining table, and how she had picked up her bag and left, pointing at his nose and scolding him.
…How extravagant she was at that time.
She misses home.
…
“Crash——”
A heavy humming sound was heard.
A giant black crow protected the fleeing residents.
The siren crashed into it and was immediately knocked unconscious.
The crow flapped its wings on the side close to the shore, and the wind it created instantly turned into a storm, pushing the siren back.
Under its protection, the closing process of the barrier went exceptionally smoothly.
And just before the barrier closed,
A figure wearing golden armor suddenly lowered his body and inserted from below.
He suddenly approached Naraku who was very close to the barrier. Fine white sand flew up from under his feet. With a very crisp "swish" sound, the mermaid was chopped back several steps by the sword.
When the siren saw Xie Lude, its movements paused strangely, and a hint of panic appeared in its eyes.
Most of these sirens were mindless and only knew how to kill, but this siren's eyes actually showed some real emotions at this moment.
Xie Lude, holding the knight's sword, did not see the mermaid's eyes. He carried Naraku and ran back. With a loud "bang", the barrier quickly fell behind him.
He took the unconscious Naraku to the wounded rescue area behind the city wall.
At this time, the scene at the rescue site was extremely tragic. Many soul hunters had neck injuries and were bleeding profusely. Even the church pastors who arrived temporarily were unable to stop their rapidly fading vitality...
The death toll increased dramatically.
Xie Lude watched this scene, sighed, and walked up to the city wall.
On the city wall, the remaining Soul Hunters were dealing with some fish that had escaped the net, and the battle was almost over.
However, even though the barrier was closed, the Sirens were still attacking it. According to the Minister, this barrier could only last for one more day. If they did not find a new way to set up the barrier within one day, or if the Sirens King had not been killed, then...
The players filled their blood bottles and looked at the horrifying scene outside the barrier. They kept complaining as they survived the disaster.
"It's all Su Mingan's fault. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in such a mess!"
"Where are they? I don't know where they are. I guess they are secretly making some money."
"Brother, why don't you say that you rushed too far? If you weren't so greedy and just hid behind the barrier, would it be so miserable?"
"…What's the use? The barrier can only last for one day. If the Siren King doesn't die, aren't we doomed?" Someone retorted.
"You only dare to talk here." The player next to him laughed: "If someone really stood in front of you, you would be a dog."
“Ha.” The man was also amused. He laughed out loud: “Then why don’t you let someone stand in front of me? Stand. Now I don’t know where he has run off to, and he is still threatening me… uh…”
A figure suddenly stood in front of him at this moment.
He raised his head in a panic, and then saw Xie Lude's pair of bright green eyes.
"Damn, it's an NPC. I was shocked." He patted his chest and said, "NPCs don't understand this kind of topic anyway, why should I worry about it..."
"You'd better apologize," said Sheridan.
"...Huh?" The player thought he had heard it wrong.
"Apologize to the captain." Xie Lude said, "His real name in the other world is Su Ming'an, right? It doesn't matter. What's important is that you insulted the reputation of a hero and did such a mean thing behind his back. Shouldn't you be responsible for the words that offended him?"
"Damn! This NPC can understand these topics!" The player shouted as if he had discovered a new continent, and his shouting attracted the attention of other players.
"...You're not going to apologize?" Anger rarely appeared on Xie Lude's face, which was always filled with a gentle smile.
Facing this very disrespectful outsider, he raised the sword in his hand:
"——If you insult the current king, I will punish you in the name of the Knight Commander of the Royal City."
The player watched as Shelude raised his sword and was stunned for a moment.
The other players who were still resting on the city wall were attracted and looked over.
“Swish!”
A soft sound.
The player's head rolled to the ground.
His eyes were wide open, completely confused as to why he, who had just escaped death, would be killed just because of a few words.
He was still killed by a knight NPC who seemed kind and had saved people before.
...just for saying a few bad things about another player.
Xie Lude put away his sword. He held the sword in one hand, with the tip facing upwards, in front of him.
He whispered something obscure, which seemed to be the command to end the judgment.
He sheathed his sword.
A subtle sense of fear spread among the players who looked at each other in bewilderment.
The player who was originally complaining shut up instantly.
Xie Lude is indeed a kind and just knight of light.
But a knight does not represent absolute kindness.
He also needs to learn to judge and adjudicate.
Anyone who offends the lord should be killed. His shield represents his duty to protect the people, and the double-edged sword in his hand represents justice and the responsibility to kill the enemy.
The offender should be put to death. A knight is someone whose sword can be stained with blood and who can kill enemies on horseback, not someone who can only talk about the so-called chivalry.
