The execution ground of Stratholme, where a controversial orc, an orc named Eitrigg, is about to be executed...

Everyone wanted this orc to die. After all, the hatred between the country and the family made every member of the alliance hate the orcs. In addition, this damn orc actually caused the alliance and the Knights of the Silver Hand to lose a glorious paladin.

This is the most unacceptable thing.

Tirion Fordring is about to be exiled, Eitrigg is about to be executed, and both these brothers and sisters will usher in their fate.

Fording and Eitrigg, who were taken away from prison respectively, looked at each other and saw sadness in each other's eyes...

Fording was escorted outside the city, while Eitrigg was escorted to the execution ground. Fordring walked on the road outside Stratholme with gloomy eyes. He was powerless. He could no longer fulfill his promise.

He is about to be exiled as a prisoner, and there is nothing he can do unless... someone helps him~

Although his hands were shackled, the two paladins responsible for escorting Fording still respected Fording, so Fording was not embarrassed.

Fording followed the two paladins to outside the city gate of Stratholme, turned his head and looked sadly at the city behind him.

His friend...his savior...Etrigg was about to be executed somewhere. He sighed deeply. Fording turned his head and said in a low voice to the named paladin in front of him, "Let's...let's go..."

Not receiving a response, Fording slowly raised his head, and then he was surprised to find that the two paladins responsible for escorting him had dropped their weapons at some point, and then the two of them stood on the edge of the city wall to pick up their weapons.

Hitting my head against the wall...

"Um...what's wrong with you two? Nothing happened! Hey! Can you hear me? You two!"

Fording's call failed to stop the two from self-mutilating, and the two continued to pretend to be a wall. Just after Fording was about to go forward to check, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Is now the time to care about them?

Shouldn't the normal operation at this time be to find a way to break free from the shackles, escape, or directly kill a carbine and go back to rob the execution ground..."

Hearing this voice, Fording couldn't help being startled. He quickly turned his head and saw Ashes, who had been standing beside him with Clara and the Fireproof Girl at some unknown time.

Pointing at the two unlucky paladins who were still hitting the wall, Fording asked in surprise, "These two knights...were you the one who made them?"

King Ash turned his eyes aside, took off the red gloves on his hands, whistled and said, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"

Looking at Ashes who was pretending to be dumbfounded, Fording sighed helplessly. Ashes put away his magic gloves, came to Fording, reached out and pinched the shackles on his hands, and said lightly, "Don't worry,

It’s just a simple charm that makes them temporarily lose their self-awareness, and they will return to normal after a while ~ provided they haven’t beaten themselves to death yet…”

As he spoke, Ash held the shackles with his fingers and squeezed them gently. There was a crisp crunch, and the solid black iron shackles were crushed into crumbs by Ash like a donut.

Fording, who had regained his freedom, took a deep look at Ashes and said seriously, "Mr. Ashes, do you know what you are doing? You released an alliance criminal who was sentenced to exile. Once others know that you did it,

You will be held accountable too!”

Hearing Fording's words, Ashes chuckled, looked at Fording and said with a smile, "Will you tell it?"

Fording shook his head, and Ashes turned his head again to look at Clara and the young lady, "Will you tell them?"

"Lord Ashes, I will keep it a secret for you!" "That's not necessarily the case, it depends on your subsequent performance~"

The two answered like this, that's what it meant anyway... Ashes turned his head and looked at the two paladins who were still hitting the wall, and asked jokingly, "Then will you tell it?"

Bang bang bang... plop! The two paladins finally couldn't stand themselves anymore. They rolled their eyes and fell to the ground together and fell into coma...

"Look, if you don't tell me, I won't tell them, and they won't tell me, so no one will know. Besides, what if they know, if they are smart enough, even if they know that I released you, they won't know.

You won’t talk too much, let alone show off your power in front of me, you can rest assured about this..."

Looking at the vowed Ashes, Fording said nothing more, turned to look at Stratholme City, frowned and said seriously to Ashes, "If you can, can you give me a suit of armor and a weapon? Mr. Ashes

…”

Ashes nodded lightly, took out a suit of armor from his backpack and handed it to Fording, "Here you go, this is one of my collections, the Church Knight armor, it should suit you very well! Try it on."

~”

Putting the heavy armor on his body, Fording picked up the full-face helmet and put it on his head... Then he looked at the man who had pulled out a two-handed broad-bladed sword from somewhere.

ash.

Taking over the huge two-handed sword called the Church Knight's Great Sword from Ashes, Fording nodded lightly at Ashes, then turned his head and walked towards Stratholme.

Ashes at the city gate looked at Fording's tall back, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I knew this guy wouldn't give up so easily~"

Looking at Ashes with a face full of joy, Clara couldn't help but joked, "It's really rare that you would give your collection of armor and weapons to others. This is really rare!"

Faced with Clara's question, Ashes just lightly shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "What's the matter? I'm not bragging about the Church Knights. I have more than enough to arm an order of knights! Besides, that's it."

I won’t use the useless armor and weapons if they are still in front of me, so just give them away...it doesn’t matter~”

After saying that, Ashes also took steps towards Stratholme and walked into Stratholme. "Follow me and have a look. I want to see what Fording can do for his oath and to save Eitrigg."

The situation…”

…

The judges and the jury have already left. After all, they are all busy people. Uther also left with Terenas. Among Stratholme, only the new appointee who volunteered to execute Eitrigg was left.

The High Lord of Hearthglen, Barthras, and Saidan Dathrohan who also stayed behind...

With a sullen face, Dathrohan threw Eitrigg on the execution platform, then turned his head and glanced angrily at the successful villain Barthras...then turned and left angrily...

In the bustling execution ground, Barthras ignored the angry Dathrohan, but stood excitedly on a high place, shouting loudly to the excited civilians below, "I'm glad to see so many of you."

Man is here. This abominable creature that stands before you is an affront to the Light and an enemy of our people. Its cursed race has brought war and misery to our country, murdering many of our loved ones.

People who don’t feel any regret or remorse at all. Therefore…”

Barthras paused, stared at Eitrigg and continued, "We will end the life of this despicable creature, just like they did to us." Eitrigg and Barthras looked at each other passionately.

watching.

"Tooth for tooth, blood for blood!" Barcellas gritted his teeth and spoke with emotion, causing the onlookers to shout excitedly.

Yes, these people may not want to see the glorious paladin exiled, but they are definitely happy to see an orc executed!

Cheering and screaming, the past hatreds emerged in their hearts one after another, and their hatred for the orcs became more and more crazy.

Fording, who was wearing a knight's armor and holding a knight's sword in his hand, looked at the bustling execution ground and felt dizzy...

Compared to the orc who is tied to the execution platform at this moment, covered in blood and dying, the innocent people who belong to the alliance that he has been protecting are more like monsters at this moment!

They roared, screamed, and shouted happily, as if only the blood of this orc could calm the enthusiasm in their hearts. No...it couldn't calm it down. Eitrigg's blood would only make them even more crazy!

At this moment, Fording suddenly realized that humans... and orcs were essentially the same. When they were driven by violence and hatred, they would all show their bloodthirsty side.

After thinking about this, Fording became even more determined. He must save his friend, the orc Eitrigg! Just as unwavering as he was when he saved mankind from the orc's butcher knife!

Fording stepped forward and walked towards the execution platform. His armor and broad sword allowed him to squeeze out a path among the crowd. Fording slowly came to the bottom of the execution platform and walked up the steps...

Looking at the man dressed as a knight who suddenly appeared, Barcellas couldn't help but frowned, pointed at Fording and said seriously, "There is no need for an executioner today! Beheading is too easy for such a beast! Hanging is the most suitable for him.

The death penalty!”

As soon as Barthilas, who mistook Fording for the executioner, finished his words, Fording suddenly raised the sword in his hand, hit Barthiras hard in the abdomen with the hilt, knocked him to the ground, and then held him up

The sword rushed towards Eitrigg, who was kneeling there, staring at the sky.

He grabbed Eitrigg Fording and waved his long sword, forcing the onlookers back, then turned around and ran away with Eitrigg!

Eitrigg looked at the person who saved him and muttered softly, "Human? Why did you..."

"Friend, it's me!" Fording turned his head with a smile and whispered to Eitrigg.

Eitrigg, who was running, heard Fording's voice coming from under his helmet. He couldn't help but be startled, and then said in surprise, "Fording! It's you? But... I heard that you were exiled! How dare you come back?

Save me? You must be crazy..."

Fording turned his head and sighed softly and said, "Maybe...but I can't break my promise, I can't let you die because of me, my friend..."

…

Barthras, who finally recovered from Fording's sudden attack, climbed up from the execution platform with difficulty. Looking at Fording and Eitrigg running not far away, he shouted angrily, "Traitor! Still!"

There’s a traitor! Get him…get them!”

Barcellas sent out knights and chased after him with a warhammer. The sudden turn of events caused the onlookers at the execution platform to panic and flee in all directions.

The chaotic environment created a good escape environment for Fording and the others! Barcellas led a group of knights in hot pursuit behind Fording, but suddenly, they and Fording suddenly broke into a body.
Chapter completed!
