Chapter 29 The Returned King of Knights(1/3)
This small world has begun to collapse.
People living on the earth are struggling. In order to continue to survive, people must make choices.
There are not many options to choose from, only three.
Most of the people living in the mountains hide in the deep mountains and old forests, where they have nothing to eat but poor mountains and rivers, and places where birds don't poop are not the first choice of most people.
The small towns and oases surrounding the Grand Temple of the Sun King are a good choice.
Unfortunately, monsters are rampant in the desert, and there are countless dangers hidden in the wind and sand with their fangs exposed, making it difficult to cross safely.
There is no doubt that majestic, safe, clean, and abundant food, it seems that the holy land of heaven is the best choice.
In order to survive, some Saracens were even willing to put aside the humiliation of occupying the Holy Land Jerusalem after it was destroyed by foreign knights and accept the protection of the "Lion King".
However, the Holy City will not accept everyone.
The Holy City will hold a "Holy Extraction" ceremony to select qualified people and enter the Holy City to receive asylum.
Through his EX-level clairvoyance, Renn saw a holy ceremony that took place three weeks ago.
The chalk city stands tall.
Hundreds of refugees in ragged clothes, haggard looks, hungry and cold stood in front of Gawain, who was called the "Knight of the Sun", looking at the city head with hope and longing in their eyes.
Further outside, stood a group of human-shaped iron lumps.
These are soldiers called "solemn knights". They wear heavy armor with metallic cold light and exude a cold and ruthless aura.
The refugees were subconsciously afraid of them and huddled together, not daring to approach them.
'They are probably maintaining order...'
Because of this thought, the refugees did not panic.
"Human nature is corrupt and ugly."
The long-awaited person appeared. She was wearing a silver mask decorated with snow-colored down. The armor covering her tall figure was gleaming, and she was as powerful as hell.
The cold female voice lingers between heaven and earth, ruthless and indifferent.
"Therefore, I will conduct a selection and select those souls that will never be stained. Select those souls that will never be shaken by evil. This is the human being who will never be stained."
The Lion King's voice was so indifferent that no trace of emotion could be heard.
Bright light emanated from her palms, blowing gently over the hungry and cold refugees like a breeze.
The next second, four sacred, bright golden light pillars soared into the sky from the four distant refugees!
Those who are shrouded in golden light are the "eternal and innocent" people that the goddess needs.
"Bring them in."
These were the last words of the Lion King, and her tall and graceful figure immediately disappeared from the top of the city, leaving the refugees looking at each other in shock.
For hundreds or nearly a thousand people, four places are too few.
Many refugees showed signs of despair, but something even more desperate happened.
"Sure!"
When they were still a hundred steps away from the refugees, a group of solemn knights wearing armor and swords roared and blocked the way of the refugees.
"Sure!"
The remaining solemn knights drew their sharp swords, exuding cold murderous aura, and charged towards the refugees.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"Crazy, these guys are crazy."
"Help, help!"
The refugees' faces instantly turned pale as paper and they screamed in terror.
Some people tried to resist, some jumped in panic, some even knelt down and begged for mercy...
Unfortunately, a siege has been formed, and the solemn knights are like cold killing machines, swiping their butcher knives on the defenseless people without hesitation.
Puff!
That was the sound of the cold blade cutting through the muscles and bones. Every time the swords in the knights' hands were slashed, bright red blood would burst out!
The waving swords intertwined with wisps of cold light, accompanied by spilled blood.
People's limbs were instantly separated, their heads were in different places, and they fell down one by one wailing.
The butcher's knives of the solemn knights were harvesting lives, resisting, begging for mercy, pretending to be dead, hysterical... none of them had any effect.
Wherever they stepped, there were only mutilated and bloody corpses lying in the gradually expanding pool of blood.
"enough!"
On a small slope not far away, a petite girl appeared out of nowhere.
Her eyes were splitting, she couldn't bear it anymore, and her originally clear voice revealed the suppressed anger to the limit.
Wow!!
The next moment, the extremely bright sword light circulated, sweeping across and pouring in like a galloping force, and the distance of several miles was covered in an instant.
The bright sword light flashed, and the body movements of dozens of solemn knights stagnated and their limbs began to dislocate and separate, and the residual limbs were stained with blood and were thrown away!
However, they did not leave any real corpses behind. The remaining limbs overflowed into a white light rain in the air and disappeared quickly...
Obviously, these solemn knights are not normal humans.
'A familiar, or a golem?'
The girl's eyes narrowed, and her offensive did not stop. She charged at a high speed while waving the gorgeous sword in her hand.
Swish!
The sword energy was flowing vertically and horizontally, and the atmosphere made bursts of rapid whistling sounds.
The sharp sword lights cut through the void, but they avoided the refugees as nimbly as a swimming fish. Instead, solemn knights were constantly being dismembered and beheaded in the sword lights!
This hand seems to have a spiritual and exquisite sword energy, which has undoubtedly reached the inhuman realm.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of solemn knights fell.
"Who are you?"
The sudden change alarmed Gawain, the "Sun Knight" in front of the gate of the Holy City.
His face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his fingers turned slightly white from clenching them so hard, but he was able to suppress the trembling "Sword of Rotating Victory" in his hands.
The resonance of the holy sword, this feeling...
"Next, it's your turn. Gao Wenqing, the one who betrayed the faith of the Knights of the Round Table!"
After defeating a group of miscellaneous fish, the girl's eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
"You...you are..."
Gawain was stunned, and his eyes were a little dull as he looked at the girl who was rushing towards him like lightning.
This familiar face is a memory he will never forget.
"Don't you recognize me? Knight Gawain?"
Arturia threw away the cloak she was wrapped in, and the silver armor with blue lines on her body shone brightly. She revealed her exquisite face, and her holy green eyes were filled with anger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Her aura is particularly stunning.
With red dragon bloodline, a huge amount of magic energy flows through the girl just by breathing. She is also the king of Britain, so she naturally carries the pressure of a superior.
She is not a Servant, but her true self.
"Is it you? This is impossible..."
Sun Knight's pupils suddenly dilated, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Gao Wenqing, what is the declaration of the Knights of the Round Table?" Artoria asked sharply.
"First, never kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Second, never betray your colleagues!"
"Third, observe the etiquette of knights, hoe the strong and support the weak..."
Gawain subconsciously stood upright and replied, but he suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence.
He couldn't speak any more.
The shame in my heart couldn't be greater. Oh my god, what did he do during this time...
Arturia's face was covered with frost: "So you still remember it, so what are you doing now?"
"I……"
Gawain felt bitter in his heart and did not dare to look directly into her eyes.
The "Lion King" is undoubtedly their king.
To be continued...
