Chapter 332 Allen's Allies



Chapter 332 Allen's Allies

Frodo was once a very ambitious young man.

He comes from a family of learned people. His father, Lorencos, is a legendary paladin. Frodo is the only son in the family. It can be said that he has been carefully cultivated by this legendary strong man since he was a child.

Frodo is talented and hardworking, and is considered a leader among his peers.

Otherwise, he would not be qualified to guard the gate for the Iron-Blooded General.

This is a personal guard, a position once held by his father, Lorencos. This shows how much that iron-blooded general values ​​him. It is almost obvious that he will take over his father's position in the future, and he will be given important positions even if he does not reach the legendary level.

Until the day Umbert came to Flowing Flame, Frodo was an ambitious young man.

Until the sudden appearance of the undead curse.

Frodo felt his body gradually becoming undead.

It wasn't very painful, not even as painful as the injuries he suffered during normal training, but it brought him a hundred times more fear.

Frodo was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of going to hell after death.

This is a fear that no believer in any god can escape.

Only the devout can obtain the permission of the gods and enter the kingdom of God after death. Otherwise, you will fall into hell.

Fortunately, the Lord of Dawn is a generous god, and it should not be difficult for most holy warriors to enter the kingdom of God as long as they do not break their oaths.

This is not just imagination. The priests of light can ask the heroic spirits of the Kingdom of God to help in the battle. They found that many holy warriors who did not become legends were summoned, which shows that the entry standards of the Kingdom of God are not too high.

Frodo originally thought that he would definitely be able to enter the Kingdom of God, after all, he was also a holy warrior who fulfilled his oath. Not only that, he also made many contributions to Llane.

He once followed the iron-blooded general in his battles, and not only fought against the dwarf's iron guards and the orc legions, but also slaughtered many evil monsters such as goblins and gnolls. He even killed an adult ogre single-handedly.

Having done so many good things, Frodo believed that he was truly going to enter the kingdom of God.

Therefore, he was not afraid of death and was extremely brave in every battle.

Until, he became a ghost.

This curse is so vicious that it can turn a paladin into an undead, making him completely unable to resist.

And the dead must go to hell! Before being sent to the imperial capital to meet the emperor, Frodo had already completed his undead transformation.

He could feel that his body had become a mass of dead flesh and blood, his soul had been eroded by the power of darkness, and he couldn't help but feel hungry for his colleagues who were escorting him. He wanted to bite through their necks and swallow their blood in big gulps.

Frodo tried hard to resist this impulse, and finally, with the power of the dragon, he reversed time and became a human again.

But Frodo remembered deeply the feeling of becoming a dead spirit. At the moment of his complete death, he did not see the guiding holy light of the kingdom of God.

At first, Frodo thought that it was because of his undead transformation that he could not ascend to the Kingdom of the Morning Lord. Now that he has recovered, everything will return to normal and he can still go to the Kingdom of God.

However, self-consolation seemed to be meaningless. No matter how he convinced himself, the fear of death still lingered in his heart.

And because of this fear, he found his strength beginning to fade.

The power of a paladin comes from his faith. Once he begins to feel fear and anxiety, the power of the Holy Light will disappear.

When he was about to break his oath, Frodo met a boy younger than him. When he saw him, Frodo almost drew his sword and killed him.

Because this young man is Alan Watson, the man who was rumored to have betrayed the Ryan Empire.

Frodo knew he had to take action and shouted loudly, even though it was late at night and he had gone out of town to chop down trees to vent his frustration.

But as long as he can make the holy light light up, such a warning will definitely be discovered by the Ryan army in the city, and they will be able to rescue him immediately.

However, after trying hard, he found that he could not mobilize the power of holy light at all.

Frodo panicked, and it seemed that he could not escape death.

Alan Watson is the youngest legend in the empire. Whether he is a traitor or not, it does not affect his ability to kill himself with just a wave of his hand.

Frodo was so frightened that his legs went weak and he didn't even have the strength to run away.

Just when Frodo thought he was going to die, the traitor did not draw his sword against him. Instead, he helped him up and used the holy light to dispel his fear.

This is the power of the Halo of Courage. Frodo is very familiar with it because he likes to turn on this halo every time he fights, and then charge forward with his colleagues.

He never thought that there would come a day when the aura of courage would be used to dispel his fear.

Alan's holy light was like the sun at dawn, making Frodo feel warm and relaxed. A person with such power would not betray the empire, right? Alan said to Frodo politely, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but you were a little bit off just now."

Frodo felt a little ashamed. He was almost scared to pee his pants just now, which was a complete disgrace to the Paladin.

Frodo said awkwardly: "I was just... um... passing by..."

Allen smiled and said, "Haha, it seems your oath does not require honesty."

"That's enough, Alan Watson, what do you want to do? You secretly came to Liuyan City, do you have any conspiracy?"

Although Frodo tried hard to appear tough, anyone could tell that he was weak inside.

Alan did not hide anything and said straight to the point: "I am here to find like-minded people. Your name is Frodo Ors, right? I seem to know you. You took the oath in the Imperial Temple earlier than me."

Taking the oath in the imperial capital was a privilege for the second generation of Llane. To be able to take the oath in the Temple of the Lord of the Morning in the imperial capital, one must have a prominent family background. Although this was a kind of fate, Frodo was not very happy. Even if they took the oath in the imperial capital, there was still a difference.

Alan's father was the Supreme Judge, so Alan should have sworn in front of the statue of the Lord of the Morning in the main hall. But Frodo could only swear in front of a smaller statue of the Lord of the Morning in another smaller prayer room.

On the surface, there were too many sworn paladins and they couldn't all fit into one hall, but in reality it was just a division of levels, and Frodo knew this very well.

When Alan mentioned it now, Frodo just felt that he was showing off.

However, Alan did not continue the topic, as if he was just trying to find some common ground with him, and then said: "Frodo, what do you think of Ryan now?"

Frodo was stunned. He never thought Alan would ask this question.

Even if you are a traitor, isn't this a bit too direct?

Frodo expressed his satisfaction with the Llane Empire without hesitation, and continued to praise the Empire and the Lord of the Dawn.

Alan did not refute, but just looked at Frodo quietly until he closed his mouth in embarrassment.

"Frodo, why don't you continue? There are still many words of praise at the Morning Ceremony."

Frodo was silent. He didn't know why. He could usually recite these words of praise for a whole day, but today he couldn't continue. Finally, Frodo could only say one sentence: "You can recite it too, but I'm too lazy to do it."

Frodo could not remember clearly what happened next.

I vaguely remember that Alan and I sat in the woods for a night. Alan caught two rabbits and we barbecued them on the spot.

Frodo could not remember what the roasted rabbit tasted like, but he remembered the first ray of sunlight in the morning passing through the treetops and falling on Alan. Alan, covered in the morning light, was filled with a sacred aura, and Frodo's heart, which had been in a panic all night, suddenly calmed down.

Then, he couldn't help but ask Alan, "Do you think that after we die, we can enter the kingdom of God?"

Alan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I guess not."

Frodo asked excitedly: "Why, I have made so many contributions to Ryan, I have done so much, why can't I enter the kingdom of God? I have fulfilled my oath and never slacked off, why am I going to hell?!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Alan sighed and said to Frodo: "Frodo, not only you, I will go to hell too, because I have not yet made up for the mistakes I made."

"You are a traitor, of course you should go to hell. Why should I be the same as you?" Frodo was so angry that he clenched the hilt of his sword and almost drew his sword to chop Alan.

Allen ignored his hostility and said calmly: "Have you ever thought that the wars you and I participated in were all unjust wars. The Lord of Dawn only lets us maintain hope and never lets us bring despair to others. I participated in the war in the Orc Mountains. I saw those orcs being slaughtered with my own eyes. They had parents, wives, children, and friends. What is the reason for us to slaughter the orcs?"

Frodo blurted out: "We are just revenge, and the Orc Kingdom is our sworn enemy."

"Family feud? Who started this feud? Do you know when the orcs became enemies with Llane, and why? Even if this is a mess and can be ignored, war does not even spare children? "Frodo, you followed that iron-blooded general and slaughtered many people, right? I have heard about your achievements. You captured the cities of the dwarf kingdom, and only the dumb babies survived. Have you ever killed those defenseless women and children with your sword?"

"I didn't, those are..."

Frodo wanted to explain that he was only responsible for the charge, and the subsequent massacre of the city would be done by the soldiers under him, and there was no need for these iron-blooded generals and guards to work hard.

But he was a paladin after all, and Frodo could not say such self-deceiving words.

In the war, Frodo and the others are one body. Whoever kills the old, the weak, women and children will have Frodo's sword stained with blood.

If it were in the past, Frodo would have only sneered at Alan's words. When had the Ryan Empire ever made a mistake? All foreign wars were just.

As a holy warrior, he was proud of Llane and would not allow this glory to have any flaws. If anyone dared to say anything more, he would be taken to the court. What about the massacre? Frodo could have a hundred reasons to convince others and himself, all taught by the general.

But now, there is no power of holy light flowing in his body.

Frodo is no longer a paladin blessed by the Holy Light, he has become an ordinary man.

As for Allen, the power of holy light in his body was so full that he could feel it with his eyes closed.

Traitors can have this power, so could it be that I am the one who is wrong? I lost the power of Holy Light not only because he was transformed into an undead, but also because his own actions betrayed Holy Light?

It’s no wonder that Frodo changed so quickly. The moment he lost his power, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

The more fanatical it was before, the more fearful it is now.

He didn't want to go to hell. What if what Alan said was true? Wouldn't he be guilty of a heinous crime?

Just when Frodo wanted to ask for help from Alan, his father Lorencos appeared. The white-haired paladin did not say a word, nor did he comfort his emotionally broken son, but directly drew his sword against Alan.

The battle was much more dull than expected. The two legendary paladins simply covered their swords with a faint holy light and began a simple martial arts contest.

Obviously, both of them could create a pillar of holy light that shot up into the sky, but they chose to restrain their power.

But even so, the fight between the two still made Frodo feel dazzled. Frodo then realized that even if he still had strength, he could not last more than two seconds against Alan. The gap was really huge.

The old and the young fought for ten minutes, and finally Allen's sword landed on Lorencos' neck, while Lorencos's sword was still half an inch away from Allen's chest.

Lourencos threw down his sword and said dejectedly, "You win."

Alan did not feel proud at all. He picked up Lorencos's sword and returned it to him.

"If it's a fight for life, even if I can slit your throat, you still have the strength to pierce my heart. Being just a little bit faster doesn't count as winning or losing at all."

Looking at Alan's young face, Lourencos couldn't help but ask, "What on earth do you want to do here?"

Alan said firmly: "I want to stop this war. When Ryan invaded the Orc Kingdom, I failed to stop him and became an accomplice. This time, I want to stop Ryan from invading the Unholy Song."

Lourencos said disdainfully: "Just you? Can you beat me and still agree to Ryan's army?"

"Of course I can't do it alone, so I'm here to find an ally. Senior, you didn't notify the garrison of Liuyan City to arrest me. In fact, you also want to join me, right? You have been watching us for the whole night, and you should be very clear about my ideas."

"One night? Father, you have been here all the time?" Frodo never expected that his father had been watching him the whole time.

Lorencos sighed and said, "I am your father, how can I not know what you are thinking? I followed you a second after you left the house. Frodo, it is me who has implicated you. The curse on you is the fault I committed and the punishment of the gods for me."

Frodo's eyes widened. He never expected his father to give such a scary answer.

The curse of the undead is a punishment? Allen opened his mouth and looked a little embarrassed. Although Allen didn't know the details, he didn't have to think about it. This curse must have been made by Amber. This lich has been here. Only he can do this. There is no doubt! Allen wanted to explain, but Lorencos had already repented bitterly.

“Frodo, I followed the general and committed too many murders. I can’t remember how many people died under my sword. Are they innocent? Are they innocent… I have been asking myself these questions over and over again, but I still have a lucky heart, thinking that everything we do is justice wherever the Holy Light points.

"But I was wrong. The curse you suffered was a punishment for me, and also for you. You haven't realized yet that those who were turned into undead were those who personally participated in the massacre, while those who didn't were not affected at all."

Lorencos's words made Alan shut up. He thought, it can't be such a coincidence... or maybe the lich did it on purpose? Alan was a little unsure, so he didn't plan to push the blame on Amber Xiu. What if he wrongly accused someone else?

However, this seems to be a good thing.

Alan looked at Lorencos who was crying bitterly, then looked at Frodo, and thought that this ally came a little too quickly.
