"No, you must not leave this place. You must stay here to protect the people of Pokeira!”
"Those Beastmen might not have gone far. They might have sent Beastmen to watch from the side. Once you leave, those Beastmen will come back.”
"Knight Marion was caught in an ambush because of his reckless pursuit. His entire army was wiped out, which led to the tragic fate of our town of Pokeira. Now, do you want to repeat this?”
After Klaus received the Holy Knight's Holy Healing Spell, his limbs had completely recovered.
Even the shattered bones were completely repaired by the power of magic.
However, after he recovered from his injuries, he opened his arms and stood in front of the Holy Knight righteously.
What a joke!
If the Paladins chased after them, the Orcs would have nowhere to run. Once they were targeted, they would most likely hand over the Magic Crystal Balls to the Paladins.
These Paladins were the Empire's coldest weapons of war!
As long as it was anything detrimental to the Empire, they would not hesitate to eliminate it.
Especially spies, they were the targets of the Holy Knights.
Once they knew that he was working with the orcs, these paladins would definitely not show him mercy.
The original hero would become the greatest disgrace of the empire.
If it were other nobles, he might have tried to test them and see if he could win them over with enough benefits.
However, facing these rigid Holy Knights, he did not have the slightest bit of hope in his heart.
Those who dared to bribe these Holy Knights were all burned to ashes by a ball of Holy Fire!
"Since the Orcs have already burned down the town, they won't dare to come again. Moreover, reinforcements are already on their way.”The Paladin Commander said indifferently.
"I know about the Holy Griffin Empire's army. No matter how fast they are, it will take them three days to arrive here. Do you want the 50,000 people in Pokeira to be threatened by the orcs at all times?”
"As you can see, my people need food and shelter. The food you have is not enough for us. We need more food!”
Klaus did not give up and pointed at the people surrounding him.
"Paladins are here to protect the people of the Holy Griffin Empire. You must stay and protect us!”
A commoner immediately stood up and said firmly.
He was afraid of the orcs. He was weak, but he was not afraid of the paladins.
"If you abandon us, what honor do you have as a knight?”
"If you leave this place, you are not worthy of being a Paladin!”
"Leaving this place is equivalent to killing us.”
When the surrounding people heard this, they also chimed in and shouted.
Their homes had been burned down, and they had no place to rest. Their food had been taken away, and they had been hungry for an entire day.
Seeing that the Holy Knight who had just arrived was about to leave in the blink of an eye, they could not bear it anymore.
All his anger and dissatisfaction were vented on the Holy Knight.
"I will leave half of the Paladins behind to guard you. The rest will continue to pursue!”
The Holy Knight Commander was silent for a while before finally making a compromise.
"Can 50 Holy Knights resist such a vicious orc? We don't have a wall now, and those damned Beastmen have released a large number of wild beasts. If those wild beasts attack us, can 50 Paladins protect us?”
"There are more than 5,000 orcs, and they are escorting a large amount of food. Their movements are so slow, we can catch up at any time!”
"Besides, can so many Beastmen disappear into thin air? It didn't matter even if they could live for another day or two!”
"In your eyes, is the safety of the 50,000 citizens of the Holy Griffin Empire not comparable to those damned orc slaves?”
Claus did not give in. His voice was extremely determined.
The commander of the paladins looked at Claus silently, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.
However, Claus 'gaze was very firm. There was no hesitation in his eyes. Even the commander of the paladins could not detect anything unusual.
"I'll only send ten Holy Knights to investigate the traces of the Beastmen. The rest of the Holy Knights, including me, will stay behind to guard the town!”The Paladin Commander finally gave in.
"Five Paladins! "Just those Beastman slaves can't pose a threat to you at all. You only need to scout for traces and don't need to fight. That way, you won't encounter any danger!”
Claus looked into the eyes of the Holy Knight Commander and said firmly.
"Five Paladins, come out and continue the pursuit!”
The commander of the paladins ordered indifferently.
There were five Paladins in the team. They automatically left the team and continued to chase after the orcs on their warhorses.
Even though it was night, the Paladin still had no intention of resting.
"Damned Beastmen, there are only five Paladins. You should be able to deal with them, right?”
Claus looked at the five Paladins leaving and thought through gritted teeth.
If he continued to stop the Holy Knight Commander, he would probably doubt himself.
This was the limit of what he could do.
............
"The people from the Holy Griffin Empire are catching up. They are paladins, but there are only five of them!”
"Hurry up and report to the leader!"
As the Paladin chased after him, the Centaurs who were on guard at the back quickly discovered him.
Two of the Centaurs followed the Holy Knight, while the rest of the Centaurs returned to deliver the message.
The paladin's warhorse was not an ordinary warhorse. It had great endurance and was very fast.
However, in terms of speed, these centaurs were still much faster.
If it was just a paladin's warhorse, it might be able to compete with the centaur's speed. However, with the paladin on its back, its speed would be greatly reduced.
After the Holy Knights received the news, they had already begun to gather and quickly rushed to the town of Pokeira.
Although they could still continue to pursue, their speed had clearly decreased a little.
On the other side, Goshawk soon learned that the Paladin had caught up.
"It seems that Claus really played a role!”
Goshawk's lips curled up slightly.
Paladins were dedicated to the empire for their entire lives, and they usually acted on a large scale. Since the town of Pokeira had been conquered, there were definitely many Paladins who came to support it.
Now that there were only five Paladins, he had reason to believe that Claus had played a part in it.
"Clements, can the Centaurs kill these Paladins?”
Goshawk turned to Clements.
He didn't know the true strength of these centaurs, but now was the time to test their strength.
Not only did he want to test Clements 'strength, but he also wanted to see the power of a Paladin.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.
His understanding of the Holy Griffin Empire was only based on the oral descriptions. There were some things that he had to see with his own eyes.
Only by understanding the enemy and himself could he make the right judgment!
"Yes!"
Clements 'eyes were firm, and his strong arms gripped the longbow in his hands.
