Chapter 118 The Strongest Paladin
of the Empire In the magnificent palace, Herky Stone and Hoffman Ironfist sat opposite each other, with a bottle of blood and a wine that looked like blood in front of them.
Although they have different races, tastes, and identities, it does not prevent the two dwarves from becoming friends.
Hoffman Ironfist raised his glass and said, "May this time we can avoid unnecessary sacrifices."
Herky Stone also raised his glass and said, "Of course, don't worry, my friend will arrange everything."
They raised their glasses and drank from them, with a little red on the corners of their mouths.
When they were half drunk, Herky Stone asked again, "The situation on the front line... I heard it's not very good."
Hoffman Iron Fist did not hide it and nodded, saying, "Yes, that Ryan's executioner came to the battlefield in person, and we couldn't resist him. The original retreat plan had to be accelerated. We gave up a lot and lost a lot."
Herky Stone's hand holding the wine glass trembled, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You mean, the Silver Moon Knight?!"
Hoffman Ironfist sighed and explained, "It's not just this man, there's also Ryan's guards. They suddenly appeared on the front battlefield and defeated our army in just one day. If it weren't for the sudden sandstorm that blocked their advance, I'm afraid they would have been at the gates of the city.
"In two days, we will evacuate the palace and enter the other half of the area through the underground passage. Hopefully, the death line will stop them."
Herky Stone suddenly felt that the blood in the cup had lost its taste.
The Silver Moon Knights plus the Emperor's Guards of the Lion Empire, the two together are an indestructible blade. I'm afraid no country on the continent can stop them.
Hecky Stone had once witnessed the power of the Silver Moon Knight.
There once was a city that believed in an evil god. It had a population of nearly 30,000, all of whom were fanatical cultists. Herky Stone had just become a vampire and was hiding everywhere. Only places where cultists gathered could suit his survival.
As a result, he was unlucky and met the Silver Moon Knight.
All Hecky Stone saw was a bright moon, and then half the city was gone.
The terrifying holy light cut half of this large city with a population of tens of thousands, and this was the half that the Moonlight Knight deliberately left behind. What was cut down was the temple of the evil god and the army of cultists gathered there.
Even though Heki Stone was later promoted to a legend, he was still frightened by the Moonlight Sword.
Now, hearing Hoffman Iron Fist talking about Moonlight Knight, he couldn't help but ask, "He must be at least over 150 years old, right? Aren't the Ryan people prohibited from using life-extending potions?"
This is a rule set by the founding emperor Arthur Lane, who believed that if humans blindly pursued immortality, the entire country would inevitably fall into chaos. The emperor never wanted to die, and the ministers didn't want to die either, so the result was that they all focused on prolonging their lives.
The effect of the life-extending potion is becoming less and less effective, and magical life extension also comes at a great cost.
If the nobles of Ryan were obsessed with extending their lives, all the cost pressure would fall on the people of the Ryan Empire, so Arthur Ryan was determined to stop this blind extension of life. He himself only lived for a hundred years, which was really short-lived for such a powerful paladin.
Because Arthur Lane set an example, there were no immortals in the Lane Empire for a long time.
Perhaps it is because of this piety and benevolence that the people of the Ryan Empire are all true believers of light, rather than fakes who are selfish under the banner of light. This also makes the Ryan Empire favored by the Lord of Dawn, and a large number of holy warriors and priests of light appear in the country.
The number of their clergy is many times higher than that of other kingdoms.
It is precisely because even the emperor practices the teachings that this country is so powerful.
It is forbidden to use magic to prolong life. This is the rule of the Lion Empire. It has been the same for all emperors. This Silver Moon Knight is also a holy warrior and it is impossible for him to violate this rule. If this is the case, this old man has already reached the age of frailty. He can still go to the battlefield and defeat the legion of the Dwarf Kingdom head-on. This old man is too outrageous.
Hoffman Iron Fist was also helpless. Facing such an opponent, you couldn't even find an excuse if you lost.
"In short, we no longer have our hopes on the front battlefield. We can only pin our hopes on the sandstorm on the death line, and also on the immigration work in Alchemy City. I hope there won't be any trouble."
Herky Stone said quickly, "Of course not. As far as I know, my friend has found a way to deal with the elves."
"Your friend is really amazing." Hoffman Iron Fist said with emotion, "He can even solve the problem of the elves. It's no problem for him to be a duke for his achievements. But it seems that he can't take care of the local problems for the time being."
Herky Stone asked curiously, "Oh? What trouble are you talking about?"
"From what I know, the beliefs within the Alchemy City seem to be too free. It's fine to believe in the gods of the evil camp, but why are there believers of hell?"
"Hell's followers?" Herky Stone frowned, then said, "Let me ask. This is indeed a big question."
The Hell Lords were not gods, but the difference was not that big. If the Nine Hell Lords united, it would not be difficult to slaughter powerful gods.
However, it is extremely difficult to unite these lords of hell who represent all kinds of evil.
The biggest problem with the belief in hell is that they are always full of malice towards everything in the mortal world.
The evil practices of the gods in the evil camp still require mortal beings, such as fraud, murder, pain, etc. The carriers of these concepts are still mortal beings. They will do bad things, cause many disasters and big troubles, but in the end they make their moves on the chessboard of the mortal world.
But hell is different, it is another dimension.
They only have the desire to destroy the mortal world, hoping that all living beings in the mortal world will die and turn the mortal world into part of hell.
The devils in hell will choose roundabout means to lure others into depravity, while the demons in hell are purely destructive and can't wait to destroy everything in the world.
Therefore, the belief in hell is an extremely destructive belief, which is equivalent to digging up and reforming the foundation of the mortal world.
Although the Golden Kingdom also has freedom of religion, belief in hell is strictly prohibited.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Among the nine kingdoms, only the Alchemy City allows the existence of Hell Faith, probably because these alchemists are true non-believers who believe that knowledge is above morality and faith. All fools, no matter what you believe, are the same in their eyes.
Therefore, these believers of Hell are the biggest trouble. No matter how Ambershu tries to avoid war, the dwarves and elves cannot accept the existence of Hell beliefs.
Hoffman Iron Fist said to Herky Stone: "The belief in Hell must be eradicated. You should talk to your friends again. This is the bottom line that cannot be compromised. Moreover, even if we do nothing about it now, I think those Hell believers are ready to fight back."
Herky Stone agreed verbally, but he didn't really take it to heart.
Believers in Hell are already very rare, and are like rats crossing the street that everyone wants to kill. Maybe they don't even need to take any action, and the nearby lords will take this opportunity to send these scum back to their hometown in Hell.
However, he was deeply uneasy about the Silver Moon Knight of the Ryan Empire. After drinking with Hoffman Iron Fist, he hurried back to his underground palace, opened the Code of the Dead and began to alert his group members.
[Don't like humans: Special news, the Silver Moon Knight of the Lion Empire is not dead! This old guy is at least 150 years old, and he can still go to the battlefield, and easily destroyed a legion of desert dwarves! ]
[Dead Rose: Silver Moon Knight? Impossible, he wouldn't be alive until now, unless he violated the rule that magic cannot be used to extend life.]
[Don't like humans: My information is absolutely true. The King's Hand told me personally. If it weren't for the sudden sandstorm that stopped Ryan, they would have lost the palace. Now they have to speed up the relocation plan and will evacuate completely in two days. Gareth, you are Ryan's wanted criminal. Have you ever fought with this Silver Moon Knight? ]
[Crown of the Headless Horseman: I don't know him. When I escaped from the Lion Empire, this Silver Moon Knight hadn't been born yet, right? But you make me sound so powerful. I'd like to see him for myself.]
[Dead Rose: Gareth, don't be impulsive. Silver Moon Knight is definitely the strongest paladin in the history of Lion, stronger than the founding emperor of Lion. If he didn't have royal blood and couldn't use the magic dragon weapon, my underground undead empire would have been destroyed by him long ago.]
[Crown of the Headless Horseman: So exaggerated? Arthur Ryan killed the Dragon Tyrant with his own hands and drove away all the dragons. Although I am an undead, I have to admire him. He is a true great hero. I have never even heard of this Silver Moon Knight.]
【Pale Little Skeleton: Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Don't bother this Silver Moon Knight. He won't come to the Dragon Tomb to fight you anyway, so why bother about how powerful he is? He is already 150 years old, and he will turn into a pile of bones in a few years. We have unlimited lifespans, so there is no need to fight him.】
As soon as Miss Bone Dragon spoke, Gareth stopped talking. Although he was still a little unhappy, Gareth knew that his wife was right. The lifespan of the undead was infinite, and the so-called strongest paladin might appear again in a few decades, so there was really no need to take it to heart.
It would be too much trouble if the strongest paladin of every generation had to fight in one.
[Don't like humans: By the way, where's brother Tiga? Why isn't he here today? I just sent him a private message, but he didn't reply. What is he busy with? ]
[Dead Rose: It's naturally the elf's problem. He seems to have found the key and should be busy doing experiments right now.]
[Don't like humans: Then he has to hurry up. The dwarves' migration plan has been advanced, and they still need his cooperation, otherwise there might be accidents.]
