Chapter 1263 Pagan?

Hao Ren couldn't distinguish the complex heraldry emblems of the Kingdom of Talos, nor could he figure out the connection between the cavalry's attire and their corresponding legions. He could only rely on the eagle decorations on the battle flags held by the knights. Judging that this team is from the royal family, it seems that the big impact caused by the disintegration ray attracted the attention of the White City guards. Also, a disintegration ray directly wiped out the land equivalent to half a small town. If such a movement did not attract Baicheng's attention, then the sentries were really blind.

However, these knights came a little faster - it took a certain amount of time from the time they saw the explosion at Kande Manor, to the whole team of knights setting off, and then from White City to the manor. Hao Ren didn't know the quality of Talos's army, so he had no way of judging how long it would take them to complete the mobilization. He just instinctively felt that the team came very quickly.

It was as if they had expected something to happen to Kande Manor and had prepared in advance.

The cavalry team, led by several royal knights, came to the small highland in front of the Kande Manor. They pointed at the sight of the manor with only half of the ruins left. They were all obviously stunned. Then some cavalry broke away from the team and outflanked the manor from both sides. Xiang Manor - The surviving servants in Kande Manor are running away from those paths. It seems that the Knights are not prepared to let anyone leave this place.

The main force of this force came straight towards Hao Ren.

They should not be able to see Hao Ren yet, but when observing from a distance, they can easily find that the ground turned into white sand starts from the main hall of the manor. This is the starting point of the disintegration ray, and the investigation will naturally start from here. start.

Hao Ren watched the knights coming towards him. After thinking about it for a moment, he walked out without hesitation. To prevent anyone from missing him, he even raised his spear and waved it twice.

Sure enough, he immediately saw the knights in front speeding up. Almost in the blink of an eye, these heavily armed iron cans came to him on horseback. The knights circled around Hao Ren twice, seeming extremely surprised, and then The leading knight reached out and took off his mask.

This is a tall, middle-aged man with particularly eye-catching red hair and a scar on his face that shows his military exploits. His appearance is not angry and intimidating, and there seems to always be a hidden secret between his hard-lined brows. Fiery Fire - Only then did Hao Ren notice that the opponent's breastplate was engraved with extremely complicated enchantment patterns, and the golden eagle and sword marks could be seen on the cloak. This level of equipment may not be as simple as a cavalry captain. .

This extremely majestic knight dismounted and looked at Hao Ren in surprise: "Guardian?"

"Ah, it's me," Hao Ren looked at the big man in front of him who seemed to have some impression but couldn't remember his name, "You are..."

"Gron, you should have seen me," the tall knight replied in a thunderous voice, "the king's chief military adviser, General Baicheng, the supreme commander of the Kingdom's Eagle Legion. Lord Guardian, what is happening here? ?”

"In short, I was plotted and ambushed by a guy who claimed to be a noble of the kingdom." Hao Ren shrugged and pushed Lamore forward. "This is the only one left alive."

After he finished speaking, he remained silent and waited for further developments. He knew that an interesting and delicate situation had arisen: he was an "ancient guardian" who suddenly appeared. He had a reputation that was obtained out of thin air and was respected for his status, but he had no foundation in this kingdom and no one. He may not necessarily gain much trust from the king, but on the other hand - Count Willy, a rebel who has been lurking in the top ranks of the kingdom for many years. His identity seems to be well hidden, and the nobles of Talos still think that he is A rare young talent and a pillar of the country, he is a member of this country's intricate aristocratic system. Although there are thousands of such aristocrats, each one is protected by their system.

In other words, he was deeply trusted by the king.

An ancient guardian and a noble of the kingdom had a private gathering. After a big explosion, the noble and his manor were wiped out. The ancient guardian was safe and sound, and accused the noble of being a criminal. Under normal circumstances, who would be the first person to be suspected? It goes without saying.

But the reaction of the general in front of him was a little subtle after hearing his words: Groen's expression seemed to be natural. He had been surprised for a moment before, but the surprise seemed not to be because of Hao Ren's accusation, but because of the development of the matter. The method is somewhat unexpected. The general glanced at half of the Kant Manor that was in ruins: "I didn't expect it to develop to this point... Lord Guardian, could it be that you single-handedly eliminated all the heretics here?"

"Pagan?" Hao Ren frowned, suddenly remembering that Lamore seemed to have mentioned some kind of "cult" before, "They seemed to have mentioned it, but to be honest, I'm still a little confused now... Judging from your reaction, could it have been earlier? Do you know the situation of Count Willy?"

"I am a martial artist, and there are some things that other people will explain to you clearly," Groen said while looking up in another direction, "Well, they are here."

Another group of people is coming from the direction of Baicheng.

This team was larger, and wizards in robes could also be seen in the team. The leader was also a high-level knight with full top-level equipment. Hao Ren understood what was going on at a glance: they were with the first The first batch of arriving cavalry should have been the entire team that set off together, but in order to save time, the light cavalry led by Groen arrived at the Kande Manor in advance, leaving behind the second batch of wizards who were slower and needed protection.

Such a large-scale mixed force further proved that what happened at Kande Manor was extraordinary.

The knights of the second team came to Hao Ren, but the leader of the team made Hao Ren stunned.

This is not a knight in full armor, but a nobleman wearing mail and a blouse: Grand Duke Rune.

Seeing the Grand Duke coming to him, Hao Ren couldn't help but touch his chin: "It seems a bit interesting."

Grand Duke Luen dismounted, as agile as a well-trained knight - The countries in the world of Koro are trapped in the quagmire of chaotic wars. Even the nobles of various countries must be proficient in bows and horses. Among the top leaders of the kingdom, few people are. Without any fighting ability.

"Guardian..." The powerful official of the kingdom still had a frozen face, as expressionless as a stone mask. He looked Hao Ren up and down, "It seems that you are not the same as them." Together."

"A group?" Hao Ren was still thinking about how the Grand Duke was going to talk to him, but he never expected that the first sentence would be this, "You mean these crazy people from the Kande family? After doing this for a long time, you suspected that I and them are the same." Together?"

Grand Duke Lu En's expression did not change, he just nodded: "A stranger suddenly appeared next to Your Highness Veronica, and he came into contact with the royal heirs. I can't help but doubt it. But just now, the informant I placed in the Kande Manor The news sent back confirmed that you have nothing to do with them, and on the contrary, they are on the opposite side of you."

As he spoke, the facially paralyzed Grand Duke turned his attention to the ruins of the manor, and frowned: "They have actually buried this level of power in the kingdom... I can't imagine that if everything goes according to As their plan develops, what will Talos face..."

Hao Ren finally figured out something at this time. He glared at the Grand Duke: "Wait a minute - so you have been wary of me since the first time we met. The reason is that you think I am also a 'pagan'?"

"The timing of your appearance is too sensitive, your identity and background are a fantasy, your words and deeds are suspicious, and Baicheng is shrouded in a dark cloud - Your Highness Veronica can trust you, but I can't."

With that said, Grand Duke Lu En finally turned his face: "Guardian, I know you want a more detailed explanation. Don't worry, you will naturally get all the answers after this time. His Majesty is waiting for us to return in the Golden Rose Palace. .”

Hao Ren nodded and looked up into the distance: the knights had divided into several groups and blocked the entire Kande Manor. At every intersection, you could see the golden eagle flag fluttering in the wind, and those who fled in all directions from the manor Most of the surviving servants have been captured. These panicked people were driven by the cavalry and gathered together, looking like driven animals. Seeing this scene, Hao Ren frowned: "These soldiers are quite hardworking when dealing with ordinary people."

"There is no need to pity these 'ordinary people'," Grand Duke Luen said expressionlessly. "There will be no truly innocent ordinary people where these cultists gather."

As if to confirm what Grand Duke Luen said, a group of servants driven by cavalry suddenly made a commotion when they stumbled towards this direction. There was actually an official wizard among these servants. He summoned a poisonous cloud and released it instantly. After knocking down the soldiers guarding him, other servants pulled out various weapons from under their clothes, shouted wildly and rushed towards the soldiers closest to them.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and three more soldiers were cut down in the blink of an eye, but the commotion ended faster: a bolt of lightning shot from a distance, and the lightning split into several strands in mid-air, killing those "domestic servants" instantly.

Above the cavalry regiment in the distance, a silver-robed wizard floating in mid-air nodded slightly to Archduke Luen.

A high-ranking knight who served as a commander emerged from the crowd and scolded the soldiers. Order was quickly restored. The soldiers of the kingdom continued to gather the survivors of Kande Manor together, but this time, the movements of their hands It was obviously a bit more ferocious than before.

"These Annihilation Believers..." Grand Duke Luen said coldly, "You don't need any humanity to face them."
