Chapter 74 on

"Are we a crowd that is not favored by the goddess?" Marco turned his head in disappointment and looked at the gate of the dungeon that was getting farther and farther away, and then sighed casually: "Or, are we too disappointed the goddess?"

"You finally got it right." Miles walked up and patted Marco on the shoulder and said, "We were not favored from the beginning because we were not the crowd favored by the gods, and we did do things that disappointed the goddesses. At least I don't think we are qualified to stand in front of them until this matter is resolved."

"Are you talking about Dante and Pia?" Marco frowned, then spat in disgust: "Indeed, these two bastards have slandered us..."

"Why are you so stupid?" Myers was very rare to be serious at Marco. After stopping, he stared at Marco hard and said dissatisfiedly: "They are indeed hateful, but we don't think they represent us, but in the eyes of the goddesses, they can represent the principality and even all mankind!"

"I know! That's why I plan to volunteer to provide help to make up for the mistake..." Marco's eyes were a little fanatical. He looked coldly at the moving team beside him and lowered his voice and said, "Even if everyone is sacrificed..."

"Shut up!" Myers quickly stopped the other party's crazy words, then hurriedly pulled him down and scolded him, "Are you crazy?! Do you want to kill all of us?"

"No, you are wrong, coward. We must regain the favor of the gods, so that the Principality of Michel will have a bright future, and we can even rebuild the temple for the goddesses..." Marco became more and more excited as he spoke, but when he was almost yelling, he was stopped by Miles covering his mouth.

"Remember! Marco! I am now ordering you as an agent monarch!" Myers grabbed Marco's chest plate and took out a ring to show it to the other party and said seriously: "Buried these ignorant and stupid thoughts in your heart! Even if you let it rot completely, you can't let others know! Do you understand?!"

Marco was very confused at the beginning of the period, but he soon saw the herald on the ring clearly. In an instant, he realized that Miles was not joking with him or provoking him anymore, because the herald on the ring was not the clan emblem of the Michel family, but a herald with swords, shields and scepters engraved.

The Knight Emblem of the Oath Knights is a contract token when the knights were loyal to the monarch. It is said to be a product of a mysterious group that was comparable to Algasburg hundreds of years ago. The ring itself looks simple, but it has some mysterious power to represent the knights' allegiance contract itself. That is to say, if this thing is destroyed, the contract between the knight and the monarch will be cancelled. Usually this situation only occurs when the knight violates the declaration and commits evil deeds. The knight who was terminated is not just unemployed, because the knight who was forced to dismiss the contract is so bad that Marco is very clear about how bad the knight who was forced to dismiss the contract is. For him, this ending is even more uncomfortable than death.

This ring was in Chris's hands before, but now Miles took it out, which shows that he is indeed the monarch's agent now, because the special power contained in the ring does not allow anyone other than the monarch to pick it up at will, and the rupture of the contract is also not possible at will. At least in the past, even if Chris threw it into the furnace, he could not destroy the ring. But now the situation seems different. As long as Marco dares to say "no" in front of Miles, he can definitely crush this extremely hard ring with his hands, because in the judgment of the contract, it can be considered that Marco violated the order, and as the agent of the monarch, he can break the contract.

This thing seems to restrict the knights like a shackle, but in fact, no matter how diverse the contracts of the knights are, the core part of the contract is still to focus on the "Knight's Declaration". That is to say, if the knights' monarch is a villain and violates the content of the declaration and orders the knight to do evil, the oath will be automatically lifted and the ring will appear in the hands of the knights.

The more critical reason is that this ring is not something that any knight can own. At least in the Michelle Priory, there are only 7 knights with this ring, including Marco and Miles, and there are probably not 100 owners in all the human kingdoms.

Rings are not only rare but also never known to outsiders, because the existence of this thing is an indescribable secret between the knights, because rings have another function besides contracts, and this function is actually powerless with the concept of "knight", but this power actually allows the knights who use the ring to obtain vitality that is different from ordinary people. For example, even if the hearts of the knights are broken, they will instantly return to the point of maintaining life under the influence of this power. Marco was previously affected by Erica's grenades, and it is precisely because of the protection of this power that he can survive.

In fact, the reason why the knights in the human kingdom rose so quickly can be said to be in some way because of the care of this power. The premise for maintaining this special power is that the contract still exists, so whether the knights with the ring are really loyal to their monarchs, they will not casually disobey the monarch's orders.

Marco's ring comes from the family's inheritance, but in fact he doesn't know much about it. However, he is very clear that his contract must not be invalidated, because he values ​​the reputation of the family more than this ability.

Faced with Miles' extremely high pressure threat, Marco suddenly felt a blank in his mind, but at the same time he quickly returned to his rationality, and at this moment he had to have a clearer idea than ever. He quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and humbly lowered his head to the ring to admit his mistake, and at the same time bowed deeply to Miles very sincerely.

"I'm confused, please forgive me." Marco apologized to Miles very devoutly.

Myers was not pretentious either. He actually knew very well that Marco should not be such a stupid person, so after seeing his reaction, he immediately put away the ring and helped him up.

"Do you know? Until yesterday, I had similar ideas to you." After Miles finished speaking, he looked at Marco, who was full of confusion, and said with a wry smile: "Don't ask me, I don't know much. This is the order issued by Grand Duke Mihair himself. At the same time, Miss Mihair also ordered me not to tell you, at least not now."

"Yes... is it, I understand." Marco looked uneasyly at the direction of the dungeon behind him and asked with a laugh: "The current policy of the Principality is to keep a distance from the gods?"

"Well, keep a distance, but Miss Michelle's relationship with the ladies of the Gods' Chosen must be maintained." Miles patted Marco's shoulder armor and said as he walked: "Just as the goddess said, we can do our part."

"Okay... I will adjust my mentality as soon as possible..." Marco, who had just lowered his head and thought, suddenly looked up at Miles, and then said lightly: "Thank you for your reminder."

After saying that, Marco accelerated his pace and rushed towards the end of the team. Miles stood there and was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly and followed.

Myers's method of threatening Marco just now was really a bit of a pressure, but he did not have any selfishness, but it seemed that it was not the same in the other party's eyes. Fortunately, the result was pretty good, and he noticed that Marco's fanatical thoughts were actually for the principality and his monarch, so excessive behavior was not too outrageous. But then again, his thoughts were very dangerous, whether for herself or for the principality, because his remarks were almost the same as those fanatical religious believers, which should not be a normal reaction. Moreover, according to some "internal news" that Miles himself knew, the goddess...at least the goddess Hex hated the existence of a crazy believer, and there were similar descriptions in some ancient records in the public that had just been restored not long ago.

In short, the reason why Miles brought troops here was not only to reinforce and deal with the traitors. Before he set off, he also accepted an extremely special reason given by Chris, that is, whether there would be a crazier in the team. After all, when Chris learned that another goddess had arrived and followed the team, this was the first thing she thought of, and Miles was also given quite special rights to deal with it before setting off.

In any case, mortals often have this kind of wrong idea when facing gods, especially the people at the bottom, so it is inevitable that they suddenly become fanatical after "closely" contact with the goddess in this team. Think about the religions of fictional gods, the believers often occupy the vast majority of them, and people blindly follow the faith in the face of fictional gods, so facing the real gods will only be even more serious. The most critical issue is that various records from ancient times to the present show that the gods actually hate this idiot, and there are also stories and legends in history that were destroyed because of this matter.

In fact, after coming here, Miles had secretly marked a few soldiers with some signs. These soldiers also formed a small group that worshiped the goddess Desmo, and also carved a rough statue to worship. However, Miles did not get rid of them immediately after discovering it, because their current behavior was still normal, and they also aroused great enthusiasm for fighting because they were healed by the goddess Desmo and showed extraordinary strength and courage in the subsequent battles. In other words, the performance of this group of people was still positive, so as for their disposal, Miles planned to observe.

There are positives and negatives. In fact, in the city defense battle not long ago, Miles discovered several fools who were hiding deeply. After Miles' judgment, they were determined to be dangerous. Then Miles and several Chris guards who were hiding their identities in the team secretly dealt with these people in the first two battles in the city. This dirty work seems to be completely inconsistent with the identity of the Knight, but for Miles there is no way. These people are really too dangerous, because they are not only crazy people, but also attempt to "kill the gods" madman.

The Principality of Michel has never had mainstream beliefs, but the Principality is still very free to manage religion, so many religions of all sizes have their own missionary groups within the Principality. Some of them are false but positive subtle groups like the Celestialism, and there are also some underground religions with extreme doctrines. These radical religious believers usually lurk in various places in the Principality and use some very dirty means to maintain their religious authority, such as...assassination.

Assassinate important figures of other religions or opposing people and use them to establish authority or bewitch them. However, considering that they did not threaten the ruling class of the nobles, the upper class of the principality at that time did not care about it, and the middle and lower management classes always had unclear connections with these groups. Therefore, this kind of thing was simply everywhere in the past, so the laissez-faire behavior of the principality made them become arrogant and attempt to challenge the bottom line of the principality.

The people Miles dealt with before were from such an arrogant underground religious group. In the past ten years, they were only identified as a darker religious group. Just before Miles came, they were urgently ruled to be a cult and carried out a nationwide clearance. The group of believers in the previous team probably didn't know that their corps had been destroyed until they died. Everyone knew their purpose was that they heard the rumors that there were gods coming from Welsk, so they sent their crazy believers lurking under Miss Michel to try to kill the "pseudo-god" to prove the authority of the only god of their sect.

This unfortunate news was revealed by the spies who had just returned from the back that day before Miles was about to set off. Miss Michel was furious and almost planned to bring her troops to clean up the portal, but fortunately, she was persuaded and delayed for a day before Miles came over with the remaining troops. As for the reason for delaying time, it was that she used some more radical special means to identify the cultists among the remaining private soldiers.

In the hearts of people who have experienced the power of gods, the actions of these idiots are really meaningless, but even so, the Principality will not allow them to assassinate the goddess. Not to mention whether their poison-coated knife can really hurt the goddess. If they really appear in front of the goddess and make them unhappy, then the unlucky one will be the Principality. Therefore, the people who participated in the cleaning will not have any mercy in their hearts. Whether outside or here, every cultist ends up very miserable. They think that the inner Principality does not allow them to receive sympathy, nor will they be merciful.

The moment Miles led the soldiers out of the East Gate of Welsk that day, there were 112 large and small corpses and 31 corpses hanging on the square in the city. The former was from the mastermind of this "God Killing" operation. He was dismembered into minced meat to show punishment. Most of the remaining corpses were actually pitiful people who were coerced and participated in it. But even these people, Miss Michel, still did not give them any mercy. They were publicly hanged for three days and then corpses were scattered in the wilderness.

Miles didn't think Miss Michel was a cruel ruler at all. I'm afraid that all the normal-minded nobles and people in the whole country would not think so. Even if the goddess was planned to be assassinated, she didn't care about this, but the Principality did not dare to use the lives of the whole country to bet, because even if the bet was won, the goddess would have a grudge in her heart. As for losing... I'm afraid there would be no Principality of Michel in the world.

This is not an alarmist statement, because an ancient evidence from Algasburg that day completely shocked the nobles and civilians across the country. The goddess named Hex did this hundreds of years ago. She destroyed a city of millions of people in order to destroy a cult, and the location was the large lake in the Kingdom of Aaron, and the world-famous huge lake was the ruins of God's punishment.

That day, archaeological evidence from Algasburg was completely made public, and then some other special groups also took relevant testimony to prove the authenticity of the matter, such as Miss Michel's teacher and the mysterious group where Mr. William was. So although Miles did not see the national reaction with his own eyes, it can be inferred from the actions of several surrounding cities and regions. Because on that day, all the forces in all the cities in the southern part of the Principality, even the bottom of those Principality

Scum, criminal gangs hidden in the shadows of the robbers in the mountains, and even the nobles who are now ready to rebel. Everyone is crazily starting to hunt and hunt down various cult groups. Regardless of whether they are involved in this matter, whether they are actually judged as cults by the official, in short, all religious groups that are morally unacceptable to everyone have been exterminated, and even some normal religions have been implicated, but fortunately the situation is quickly controlled.

In the face of divine power, no mortal dares to be arrogant.

Of course, there are those who believe and question it, but these voices will not hinder the progress of the matter. At the same time, the people of the people who destroyed the city are also unable to know the true truth of Hex, because Algasburg, which knows the whole truth, dare not announce it anyway. But at this moment, no one cares about this at all in the Principality. It only needs to know the majesty of the gods. It is too simple to make people fear the gods, but it is also very simple to make people feel the kindness of the gods. Sometimes, there is no need for real kindness. Only by relying on people's naive fantasies can someone believe it.

Although Myers did not see it with his own eyes, this situation happened from time to time. In addition, there are hundreds of minstrels from all over the world in the city of Wielsk. I think when everyone returns to the city, they may have various stories and poems about goddesses spread to the world.

"You should be really glad that the goddesses don't care about these fictitious things..."
