Chapter 28 The Seal - The Northern Kingdom (3)

"Destroy!!!Diet!"

Under the trampling of nightmare and the slash of the sword of death, more than a hundred human soldiers immediately threw away their armor before they could resist. Everyone just wanted to escape and ignored the commander who was clamoring to fight.

It’s a pity that no matter how they beg, the undead who chased after them only fulfilled the orders they received.

Reflecting the blood-red sunset, the Black Armored Death Knight quickly ended the battle with huge power disparity.

"General, you have eliminated those humans according to your order." The Knight's voice was mechanical and stiff. And its next words made the four-person adventure team who originally wanted to help but turned into a show.

"Do you want to kill these people?"

Watched by the lifeless death knights, adventurers began to regret that it was a wrong decision to leave them to help.

"No...don't kill them." Knowing that the four were trying to help, Roland stopped the idea of ​​continuing to eradicate humanity by her.

"Roland!!" Frankel, who had returned, was back again. He was worried that he was not worried about Roland's safety, but about her fear that she would kill all the pursuers.

Sure enough, seeing the corpses on the ground, the church knights inevitably felt inevitable anger at the undead in front of them.

"Why do you want to kill them all? You are so strong that you can stop them from following even if you don't kill anyone. Why?"

"Do you really think so, Knight Flan?" Roland's calm tone made Frankel realize more deeply that the person who was walking with him was a dead soul after all. If he had not needed her help and brought the lady to the Duchy of Shandu safely, he would never have any involvement with a dead soul. Even if the Church of Light has temporarily formed an alliance with the dark forces, the education he received since childhood would not allow him to let the undead kill humans.

"These soldiers obeyed the king, and the order they received was to chase Princess Anneya. As a member of the church, you should know the importance of the secret that the princess carries. If the princess was caught and killed just because of her unbearableness to the enemy, who should shoulder this responsibility? Is it you, Lord Paladin?!"

"That shouldn't be...that shouldn't be killed all of them!!"

"Just because they are humans?" The sad smile on Roland's face shocked everyone.

Yes, how could they ignore the posture of this undead? Isn’t it also a human?

Can only humans kill? Can only humans exercise the right to die against other creatures?

It's ridiculous. Three hundred years ago, I was also an ordinary human being, but what did the church do to me? What did the king of Manning do to me?

Because of a prophecy that has been circulated for a hundred years, because of my appearance that is different from ordinary people, I was thrown into the underworld. No one can imagine what a terrible place it is. No one knows it. It is a country of death, no air, no life, no living things, and only death.

When I was most desperate and helpless, it was not the church, not the so-called kind guardians, nor the army that claimed to defend the people, but the souls who were also betrayed and waiting to regain their freedom, who gave me redemption. If what he hoped, it would be what I would do.

I never like blood, and I hate killing and war, but some things are inevitable. Just as Moya has made a choice, I also made my own choice from the moment I became the dead three hundred years ago.

Someone will know Roland's inner sigh.

"Do you think my methods are cruel? Forget it, I have already made plans anyway. I just took this opportunity to propose it. I plan to take Princess Anneya from the grass sea to the Duchy of Shandu. From here, I will not walk with you anymore." Expressing his point of view in a cold tone, Roland said the words he had prepared in his heart when approaching the Prague border.

Even without the help of the church knights and tree elves, she could still send people to her destination safely.

"This is impossible. Princess Anniya is an important witness. How can a dead soul escort her alone? I will never agree." Flan pulled out his weapon and looked ready to fight.

He knew very well that even without those death knights, he would never be her opponent. He had personally experienced it in Neildefez. His seemingly weak body actually contained power that humans could not match. No matter how fast or power it was, it was better than any warrior he and any warrior he knew.

Even Sistall Wenyin, the former head of the Paladin who rebelled two years ago, would not be her opponent.

But even so, he must not let the princess and the undead go on the road alone.

"Flange, don't be impulsive."

Depending on the situation, the tree elf Soder quickly stepped forward to grab his friend.

As a friend, he certainly knew why Frankel, who had a gentle personality, was so disgusted with killing all the pursuers of the undead.

A year ago, the undead invaded the Northern Continent, causing the cheerful young man to lose all his relatives overnight. Such a sad experience made him extremely hate the undead. If it were not for protecting Princess Anniya, even if he died on the spot, Frankel would definitely have a desperate battle with the undead in front of him.

The hand holding the sword kept trembling, Frankel tried his best to control his emotions, and his mind always replayed everything he had experienced in that dark night. The undead broke into the city and killed every living human they could see, whether it was the old or the children.

Although this undead was a woman, her cruelty was no less than those lichs.

Neildefez... No, the Northern Alliance will continue to send pursuers. Those soldiers who obey the king are innocent and cannot let them lose their lives. And if they continue to let this undead knight, she will summon more undeads, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be connected with other lichs who are still lurking in the North Continent. At that time, maybe Plais's tragedy will happen, how can he... how can he let such an ending appear?

"Please don't argue, Knight Frank... I have decided that I will go with Knight Roland." Princess Tiya Anneya, who had not spoken, spoke, and her words surprised both Soder and Frankel.

"Princess?"

"I think our goal is too big, and..."

Looking at Princess Anniya who was reluctant to speak, Flan certainly understood what she wanted to say.

I can't protect her in the pursuit of the army by myself alone.

Of course he knew this, but she actually wanted the undead to protect her. How could he not make him angry?

Why do humans seek protection from the undead?

"It seems that the princess understands the truth better than you, Lord Paladin. Then I have to break up with you here. It will be easier to reveal her identity when I continue to walk with you." Roland took back the long sword that was unsheathed and left with Princess Anneya, and the group of death knights followed closely and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Flange..."

"I know what you want to say, Soder." The young paladin refused his friend's comfort, glaring at the bloody corpses on the ground.

He knew in his heart that compared with him, who had been wanted by the Northern Alliance, the undead could protect Princess Anniya's safety better. Even if he was sleeping in the wild, there would be no wild beasts or other people with no wicked hearts to hurt her.

"Princess Anniya's choice is correct, Flan. We have been targeted. No matter where we go, we will encounter attacks from the Northern Alliance. It is better to help lead the pursuers away so that they can arrive at Shandu faster. The Demons and the Northern Alliance form an alliance must be informed of His Majesty the Father Emperor as quickly as possible." Soder whispered in his friend's ears, what kind of secret the princess carries. No matter what the price, she must be allowed to arrive at Shandu as fast as possible, and before the peace meeting, she must expose the crimes of the mercenary king and his alliance.

"Oh, the church knight and the undead parted ways." Although the adventure foursome, who had been hiding far away, did not hear the content of the quarrel, but when they saw that the undead had left with the noble woman with a noble temperament, the female mage suddenly thought of a kindness.

If you stay with the church knight, it is easy to pass the level in Prague, and... maybe you can also ask the knight to help you enter the ruined temple where the legendary treasures of ancient times are hidden.

"Mr. Knight, can you help?" Brena walked towards Frankel with a frustrated look.

"A few of us want to enter Prague, but our motherland, Garflan and Prague, are hostile. Can we bring us in with your identity as a knight?"

"Flange, I suddenly have a good attention." After looking at the woman in front of me, the tree elf suddenly had an inspiration.

"What?"

"That's it...you promised her the conditions and brought the four of them into Prague. There are women in the team so that the pursuers will not be suspicious and will continue to focus on us. The princess's side...it will be safer."

"How, Knight?"

Seeing that the other party had no movement for a long time, Brena almost gave up.

"Okay, we're going to Shandu, if we go along, let's go together." Frankel nodded and agreed to take these adventurers on the road together.

"Great!!" The four adventurers cheered, staying with the knights of the church was exempt from all inspections.

They were still cheering for being able to pass the level safely and had no idea what kind of trouble they would get into.

"Don't blame yourself too much. You are a paladin of the church. As long as you are not in the wild, the people of the Northern Alliance dare not do anything to you." After patting Frankel's shoulder, Soder knew that he was dissatisfied and used these adventurers and might bring danger to them.

"Let's go, we can't continue to stay here. If we are seen by others, it will cause unnecessary trouble." After reciting the prayers for the dead soldiers, Frankel took the lead in riding his horse.

The only thing he could do was pray for them, and as for the corpses, he could do nothing.

"Ah, Buddy, bring the horses over quickly, we're leaving." Brena shook her head at the already dyed land, and naturally she wouldn't do anything to dig a hole and bury people. She didn't want to have anything to do with Nielderfez.

As the knights of the church said, if you are seen, there will be danger.

Under the night, the two teams moved in different directions. Behind them were more pursuers from the Northern Alliance.
