Chapter 38 Who do you think you are talking to?
"Why... there is no movement?"
"Yeah, is the battle over?"
"Why hasn't the Knight Commander come back yet?"
The knights who stayed behind exchanged glances with each other, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Because it's quiet, so quiet.
After Kelse had destroyed the house in the battle with Uru, he fired further and further away, until it was beyond their sight. All they could hear were a series of explosions and Kelse's constant shouting of "bugs". The noise ended with the last explosion, and then everything was completely silent.
They thought the battle was over and that the Knight Commander would soon return with Uru's head, as he had done countless times before.
But this time, their knight commander did not return, and no one could be seen in the darkness.
"Knight Commander...did he lose?"
So this dangerous thought involuntarily came to their minds.
"How is it possible? How could the Knight Commander lose?! Lord Kelsey just entered the 'God's Blessing' mode!" The adjutant shouted and denied the dangerous idea of these knights, but after a brief silence, he slowly drew his sword, "But no matter what, we still have to confirm it. Leave two people... No, everyone, follow me!"
The adjutant knew that the change in his last order would also expose his inner anxiety, but at the moment he could no longer care about that.
Although he was reluctant to believe that the guy named Uru really had the ability to defeat Kelse, especially Kelse who had entered the state of "God's Blessing", he now had to prepare for the worst.
So he led his men deep into the darkness and followed the traces of the battle.
Eventually, they found Kelsey.
However, only half was found.
When they saw Kelsay, who was still standing under the magic chains that had not yet disappeared, but whose lower body was missing, unspeakable fear emerged in the pupils of every knight.
"Quick, go report to Bishop Corey!" The adjutant immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lord Kelse was killed in the battle! Father Uru escaped!"
"Lord Kelce was killed in battle! Priest Uru escaped!"
"Lord Kelce was killed in battle! Priest Uru escaped!"
The adjutant's frightened voice was like a stone thrown into the water, which immediately caused ripples one after another, but soon returned to calm.
…
And the instigator of all this was walking tremblingly on the road in the town.
Ulu felt that his body had reached its limit, so much so that he couldn't walk at all without holding on to the wall. He felt that he walked back to the town entirely by willpower.
Then Bai Wei's voice rang in his mind: "There's someone behind you, you should hide."
Ulu was startled and immediately hid in the nearest alley. Before he took two steps, he fell to the ground with a thump, like a dead person.
Soon, the knights of the Rhine hurried by. They looked panicked and their steps were unsteady. It was obvious that they had already heard the news of Kelce's death, so they were in no mood to conduct any major investigation at this moment. Unlike yesterday, when they would come over to check the bodies lying on the street to see if they were really dead.
If that were the case, Uru would definitely not be able to escape now, and these knights didn't know that the person who killed Kelse was right under their noses, and was extremely weak. As long as they entered this alley, they could catch Uru... But there are not so many ifs in reality. After Kelse died in the battle, the knights had no mood to continue working. After one or two knights glanced into the alley (fortunately, Uru's priest robe was already in tatters), they hurriedly followed the main force away.
So they naturally wouldn't notice that although the "corpse" was lying down, the middle finger of its left hand was still erect and straight, just like an indifferent man who was folding his hands and observing the changes in the outside world.
"Well, they've left." Bai Wei said calmly, "Although I know you're tired, you should leave here as soon as possible before the Rhine Church sends the next Knight Commander... Of course, they may not send one, and just accept their fate, but you can't bet on this possibility."
Bai Wei was very familiar with the composition of the Rhine Church. After all, in the game, the player's starting identity was a Rhine Knight.
Each knight squad of Rhine revolves around the Knight Commander, because the Knight Commander is the only one in the squad who can enter the "God's Blessing" state and has the strongest combat power, while the other knights are essentially helping the Knight Commander. Once the Knight Commander is lost, the knight squad is dead in name only.
From this point of view, the composition of Rhine's knight team is far inferior to that of the other three of the four major orthodox religions. The fact that the main combat power is concentrated in one person does have a significant disadvantage, but the advantage is that the individual knight leader is indeed very strong.
Honestly speaking, judging from the strength on paper alone, Kelse is definitely stronger than Bai Wei, who performed the first-level descent on Uru's body. In the state of "God's Blessing", he was able to use divine arts, but he was killed by Bai Wei before he could use them.
Apart from the two emotions that mostly affected him, arrogance and anger, Kelse's combat experience was far inferior to Bai Wei's. Even Bai Wei could beat Kelse up just by verbally pointing fingers at Uru, even though he was not in the "God's Blessing" state.
There was no way, after all, Kelce...Bai Wei had fought him dozens or even hundreds of times.
"Cough cough cough cough..." At this time, Ulu slowly got up from the ground. His previous fall did not seem to be fake, but he really fainted, "Oh..."
He spat out another large mouthful of blood.
Bai Wei asked slowly, "How is it? How does it feel to have succeeded in revenge?"
Ulu did not respond, but just stared blankly at the blood he vomited.
It's black.
Bai Wei also noticed this, and then "frowned slightly", thinking that it seemed that he could no longer hide it.
Sure enough, after seeing the blood, Ulu murmured: "No, no... This is not a normal injury. Why do I feel like I'm about to die... Why..."
He spoke in a daze, and then he caught a glimpse of the middle finger of his left hand that was still upright, and he immediately understood everything.
"It's you, it's because of you!" He grabbed his left hand fiercely and said excitedly, "It's you who is worsening my body! It's you who is taking my life! It's you, it's all you! You are also lying to me, you are also lying to me!"
As he said this, he looked around, and then found a stone, which he immediately picked up, as if he wanted to smash his finger directly.
But the next second, he was pressed against the wall by a huge force and his throat was locked by a hand.
Or his own left hand.
"Who do you think you are talking to?" Bai Wei said coldly.
