"Most of the Crusaders came from small European lords... and they were not all knights recruited by the Holy See..." Hermione said with a frown as she looked at the tragic situation below.
Harry's eyes flickered and he said faintly: "Some stories mentioned that in order to replenish their troops, Europe released many criminals and included them in the ranks of the Crusaders. The priest also promised to pardon their sins as long as they recapture the Holy Land...
"
"They don't regard those civilians as human beings at all..." Neville gritted his teeth with an expression of deep hatred: "If this is true, no defense can absolve them of their sins!"
Catherine's expression was more solemn, her eyes were as sharp as knives, but her tone was unusually low: "They didn't just commit these crimes..."
Following Catherine's words, the four of them descended involuntarily, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the village in the distance. At this time, the village still had a vibrant oasis scene. No matter whether it was a house or a tent, none of them were intact. They were everywhere.
Thick smoke and flames, blood and corpses everywhere.
Wizards are much more adaptable to these cruel scenes than Muggles. You can buy human bones, skeletons and other creations everywhere in Upside Down Alley. Even the door of the bar will be decorated with voodoo dolls. Originally, Harry and others would not be so concerned about these.
The corpses caused too much physical discomfort, but what made them feel devastated were the things that happened and the sounds that came from some dilapidated rooms from time to time, all of which showed them the cruelty of the Crusaders like beasts without any concealment.
An armored officer walked out of a building while wearing a belt. As he walked, he did not forget to shout to the nearby soldiers: "Kill them all when you are done! Kill them all!"
After a while, the women's screams came out, and then stopped abruptly.
The officer walked to the center of the village, where was the well square where the villagers fetched water. At this time, it was crowded with people. The remaining villagers were gathered here. Under the officer's order, anyone taller than the wheel, regardless of gender,
All the young and old were shot dead with crossbows, leaving only seven or eight little girls who had been frightened and lost their voices.
A carriage slowly drove over. The carriage had a thick wooden carriage with no windows and only a few small ventilation holes.
The priest who had just shouted in the desert to kill all the heretics was contentedly arranging his clothes and walking over with the carriage. He met the officer face to face. The two of them were familiar with the corpses on the ground and grinned.
With his big mouth full of yellow teeth, he chatted with jokes.
Harry and Hermione were speechless in mid-air. Their hearts seemed to be pressed by a huge stone mountain, so heavy that they could hardly breathe.
Neville roared and rushed down, but no matter whether he punched, kicked or cast magic, he couldn't touch the officers and priests below at all, as if he was just a ghost in this world.
Just when Neville was furious, a rather special bugle sounded at the entrance of the village, which also attracted everyone's attention.
I saw two knights in golden carved armor, riding high-headed horses of Valencian breed, walking all the way from the village entrance. They were neatly dressed, with bright red cloaks, armors, and weapons inlaid with gorgeous gems.
It looks like he has a distinguished status.
"It's the Crusaders! They must be different from these criminals!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise.
Harry glanced at her but said nothing. He knew very well, but he just didn't want to interrupt Hermione's last hope.
The Crusaders are representatives of the orderly and good camp, and are nobles directly affiliated with the Holy See. In fact, according to legend, they are determined to spread love and peace, establish a social order based on noble morality, and protect all the weak. Therefore, all people in the orderly and good camp
Everyone worships the Crusaders from the bottom of their hearts and is proud to call themselves the Crusaders.
However, the next scene completely shattered Hermione's hopes. He thought that the Crusaders would come to organize everything that happened, punish the criminals, and save the innocent people. However, the two gorgeous knights ignored the blood and screams and went straight towards them.
Coming towards the center of the village, the iron hooves of the army horses trampled the corpses on the road into pulp, and the blood dyed the horse's legs black and red.
When the officer and priest heard the horn, they immediately stood up and faced the Crusaders. The surrounding soldiers grabbed the few surviving little girls and carried them forward like chickens.
"I heard that you have a gift for the Earl?" The leading Crusader's face was hidden behind his heavy helmet and he said coldly to the officer.
"Not only for the Earl, but also for the Bishop... They are tired from traveling and traveling, and they must hope to relax... Hehe... relax..." The officer rubbed his hands flatteringly, and then motioned to his soldiers to hand the girls forward.
The girls were so frightened that they almost fainted. Occasionally, some of the girls could make a little noise, but they were immediately slapped by the soldiers until stars appeared in their eyes and half of their heads were swollen.
"Hmph..." The Crusaders snorted coldly and waved their hands. The officers and priests were overjoyed and immediately asked the soldiers to throw the girls into the carriage, making a "dong dong..." sound.
"Give them some water, the bishop doesn't like corpses that die of thirst..." the Crusader said coldly, and then rode away without looking back.
The killings in the village continued, but the officers and priests had already stuffed the gold found in the village into boots, quivers... anywhere they could stuff something.
Harry looked back at Hermione, her eyes were dull and her face was ashen...
On the other side, when Yan Nishuang was surrounded by a large amount of blood mist, because she could not judge for a moment whether the blood mist would harm the spirit in the soul body state, she immediately took the spirit back into her body, but she only felt a blur in front of her eyes and a blur under her feet.
Once he was in the air, when he reacted again, he had already appeared at an altitude of 10,000 meters and was falling freely towards the ground below.
With a thought in her mind, Yan Nishuang slowed down her descent and gently stopped in the clouds. With her current strength, she could fly without the help of any flying props. Although she was a little surprised, she immediately
The question "How did Gracua get himself here?" was put behind him, and he began to observe the environment here.
It didn't matter what she saw, it made her even more surprised and speechless.
Below is such a majestic fairy mountain. The peaks reach straight into the sky, reaching the top. Colorful fairy mist surrounds the peaks, like gorgeous skirts. The mountains are filled with flowers, gurgling springs, strange pines and rocks, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Why?
A scene full of spirit.
"This is...?" Yan Nishuang's eyes widened. With her keen sense, she immediately felt that the spiritual energy here was extremely rich even while she was still high in the air. Not to mention the earth where she grew up, even the West Kunlun
Daluo Kunlun Ruins is also incomparable. The reason why Yan Nishuang was able to achieve transcendental sainthood in just a few months was mainly due to the density of spiritual energy in Daluo Kunlun Ruins, which made her Qi training twice the result with half the effort. It is no exaggeration.
It is said that one year of cultivation in Daluo Kunlun Ruins is equivalent to ten years in the outside world, and the density of spiritual energy here is even ten times that of Daluo Kunlun Ruins.
"Is this...the real Kunlun Mountain?...I...I'm in the world of the Fengshen Bang?" Yan Nishuang exclaimed.
Although she didn't move, the fairy mountain in front of her had moved. When the angle changed, she saw that this mountain range with a radius of thousands of miles was actually a floating island floating in the sky.
