"Your Majesty, the Pope ordered us to go to the Tang Dynasty to express his friendship, but Cardinal Fix asked us to lead the Holy Knights of the Order and command an army of 300,000 people. This clearly means that we want to invade the Tang Dynasty.
!”
Three hundred miles away from Chiyang Mountain, a large army was hiding in a mountain col to avoid the wind and snow.
"General An, the cardinal's move is not to invade the Tang Dynasty, but to promote the prestige of our religion and strengthen our religion's power."
"Furthermore, in recent years, the Pope's health has declined greatly, and it is well known to everyone that the three cardinals are vying for the position of the Pope."
"We don't have a high status in the church, so we should act carefully to avoid getting into trouble!"
A paladin of the Sun Cult named An has long blond hair, blue eyes, and a fair face, giving people a sense of reliability.
"My Lord Bishop, what you are saying is that the Sun Religion has expanded rapidly in recent years and has deviated from its original intention in many aspects!"
The bishop is a white-haired old man, not very old. He comes across as amiable and somewhat resolute.
"An, judging from your tone, do you plan to leave the Sun Cult?"
An felt very painful in his heart. He had determined to become a paladin of the Sun Cult since he was a child. Now he has achieved his wish, but the current Sun Cult has disappointed him so much!
"Master Bishop, I don't know either. I am very confused now and don't know what to do?"
The Lord Bishop rode on horseback outside the camp of the wounded and sick soldiers and stopped: "An, let your heart make the decision. Don't force anything. This time, coming to the Tang Dynasty and completing the mission is what we should do.
matter."
General An nodded and dismounted with the Bishop. The two of them arrived outside the tent embroidered with gold and silver. The Bishop began to cast a spell, and a silver light passed through the tent and shone on every wounded soldier.
"Master Bishop, the effect of the Holy Sun Light that you have cultivated has improved to another level. It seems that you can be promoted to the Golden Light Bishop in the near future!"
"An, this is God's will. I hope you can also find your own direction!"
The Lord Bishop patted An on the shoulder, returned to his mount, and quickly climbed onto the horse.
"Your Majesty Bishop, I want to go see my brother. You go first and I will come later!"
"I wish you good luck, General An!" The bishop galloped towards the next military camp.
General An walked into a tent. Inside the tent, two small braziers were lit. A dozen armored soldiers sat around the braziers.
"Andre, you guys are so lucky to be favored by Princess Niya!"
"Dove, your face full of freckles has scared away all the beautiful girls!"
"Ha ha……"
The soldiers present burst out laughing. Someone noticed someone coming in, and turned around to see General An coming in.
"General An, are you here to see Andre? This guy has recently fallen in love and has a beloved princess!"
The soldiers gathered around a blond young man and came to General An. General An faced his younger brother with tenderness and care on his face.
"Andre, when you grow up and start to fall in love with a girl, you have to behave well and strive to become a paladin as soon as possible!"
"Brother, I will definitely surpass you and become the greatest paladin!"
"Have ambition!"
General An praised: "Andre, come with me for a walk!"
Andre turned around and shouted to his companions: "I'll be out for a while and I'll be back soon. Don't say bad things about me!"
"There you go, Andre in love!"
Ha ha……
General An took his younger brother to a warehouse near the military camp and pulled out the silver sword he was wearing.
"Andre, you have grown up. Today, my brother will give this long sword, the symbol of the family, to you. I hope you can add supreme glory to our family!"
Andre was caught off guard. He held the long sword and said in an excited tone: "Brother, this is your sword. Why did you give it to me? This is not in line with the rules of the family?"
The more Andre spoke, the louder he became. General An explained with a smile: "Andre, my brother will enter the Tang Dynasty tomorrow. No one knows whether he can return safely from this mission."
"This Holy Light Sword is the glory left to us by our ancestors. It must not be left behind, so my brother put it with you!"
Andre was doubtful. Thinking of the recent rumors circulating in the military camp, he lowered his voice and asked: "Brother, are you really planning to leave the Sun Cult and rebuild the Fei Lie Empire?"
This is a secret between the two brothers, and outsiders have no way of knowing it.
"Andre, this matter must be buried in my heart from now on. My brother has been enlightened. The time has come to restore the glory of our ancestors. For the sake of our family, my brother will definitely be accused of being a traitor in the future. You must be mentally prepared.
!”
"Brother, no matter what you do, Andre will always be by your side!"
General An tied the family sword around his younger brother Andre's waist and said confidently: "Andre, I believe that when we meet again, it will be a day full of sunshine and joy."
"must!"
The two brothers held hands tightly together, and soon General An left the military camp. Instead of going in the direction of the bishop as agreed, he changed his route to the south and galloped southward...
General An left the military camp and rode into the blizzard. Not long after, a knight riding a black dragon appeared behind him.
"An, you have finally made a decision. Since you want to betray the Sun Cult, I will give you a gift!"
The knight held his hands in front of his chest and muttered something, and soon a black flame formed between his palms.
"Go for it!"
The black flame broke away from the knight's hands and disappeared instantly. At the same time, to the right of General An, a hundred meters away in the wind and snow, the bishop appeared.
"An, you are too careless. How could the Dark Knight of the Sun Cult let you leave so easily?"
The bishop noticed an unusual energy fluctuation behind General An, and his face changed slightly:
"The Dark Knight has indeed appeared, old friend, let me do you a favor!"
The Lord Bishop made the same move as the Dark Knight, except that a golden flame was produced between his hands.
"My Lord Bishop, you actually helped the traitor!"
Following a cold voice, a war horse suddenly appeared behind the bishop, and a silver sword went straight to stab the unsuspecting bishop in the back.
The bishop was unable to dodge and was hit on the right shoulder by the sword. However, the assassin who attacked the bishop was too careless. The bishop was second only to the cardinal in strength. He struck the assassin with his left palm, a beam of silver light.
It pierced the assassin's chest directly.
"This is impossible?" The assassin said these words before he died, turned over and fell off his horse.
The bishop's shoulder was bleeding profusely. He endured the severe pain and cast the light of recovery with his left hand to temporarily relieve the injury.
"It seems that the Sun Cult has no place for me!"
The bishop thought for a while, then urged his horse to run straight to the east. After running for several miles, the horse followed him to the north, and soon to the west. In this way, the bishop changed the direction more than ten times in a row, and finally went straight to the east.
Run south.
General An ran less than five miles on horseback when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw a black bat lying on his chest sucking his own blood.
"It's Dark Bat!"
Just as General An was about to cast a spell, a golden flame flew over and destroyed the black bat.
"Holy Light!"
General An, as the first paladin of the Sun Cult, naturally has extraordinary abilities. The moment he saw the dark bat, he already knew that there was an enemy behind him.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, and General An made a decisive decision, immediately turned around and headed back the way he came.
Soon, the knight riding the black dragon met General An head-on.
"This guy is really lucky!"
The black dragon knight took off his spear and stabbed General An through the air. A black flame flew straight to General An's chest.
General An pulled out a silver long sword and dragged it behind him. When the Black Dragon Knight launched his attack, the long sword in his hand emitted a semicircular sword energy from bottom to top.
The sword energy rotated in the air at high speed, like a drill, heading straight towards the Black Dragon Knight. The black dragon knight's spear and black flames made a loud noise when they hit the sword energy issued by General An.
"not good!"
The Black Dragon Knight did not expect that General An's martial arts skills were so good. The sword energy destroyed his attack, split into six, and turned into six sword energy flying straight towards his face.
The Black Dragon Knight did not expect that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Without understanding General An's strength, he was killed by General An with a single sword blow.
"My war horse can't ride for a long time in a snowstorm, but this black dragon is pretty good!"
General An let his horse go, mounted his opponent's black dragon, thought for a while, stopped going south, and headed east instead.
After a day and a night, General An finally tracked down the Bishop. Along the way, he killed at least more than twenty dark knights, but the paladin was also somewhat injured.
"Ouch!"
Hearing the howling of wolves from ahead, General An hurriedly urged the black dragon to speed up.
"These damn hungry wolves are like ghosts, hateful!"
The Lord Bishop swung his scepter and killed a silver wolf, and the wound on his back began to bleed again.
The smell of blood stimulated the wolves, and more hungry wolves approached the old man who had reached the end of his strength.
"My Lord Bishop, there is no need to panic!"
General An swung his long sword, and a sharp sword energy flew out, directly splitting the wolf pack consisting of hundreds of silver wolves. This sword was so powerful that the white-headed hungry wolf died on the spot.
General An struck with all his strength and was about to go to check on the bishop's injury. Suddenly, snowflakes were flying among the wolves, and someone jumped out of the snow.
Swish, swish, a series of crossbow arrows flew straight towards General An. General An ran in the wind and snow all day and night without closing his eyes. In addition, he was continuously attacked by sneak attacks, and his nerves were always in a state of tension. At this time, he was attacked again, and he was already struggling.
Fight back.
I saw the long sword in his hand dancing like the wind, knocking all the crossbow arrows away.
However, at this moment, the second wave of assassins launched a sneak attack. General An tried his best to block the second wave of sneak attacks. However, the assassins seemed to be endless, and the third wave of sneak attacks...
