Chapter 266 The Crisis of the Paladin
The paladins retreated singing the song of victory of justice, and set fire to the mines, slave camps, and other ancillary facilities as they left, and the Fortress of Holy Light was ablaze.

The fire light made the prince's face fluctuate, and he felt that his internal organs were about to be ripped out.

"Truk, it's too unsafe to stay here, what if Prior takes the opportunity to call?"

Once the prince's mind was activated, he was quite flexible: "I want to go back to Kester! Yes, I have to go back to the capital!"

"Absolutely not!"

Truk said coldly: "You run away, will the attendants, deacons, and mercenaries below you stay? These people have all run away, who will guarantee the supplies for my men? Bread and water!"

"If you dare to leave, Holy Light Fortress will be completely destroyed, and your right to develop in Shenyun Plateau will be gone! You don't have to care about how Youxiang will sanction me. But I promise, no matter how much blood I bleed, you will bleed twice." ! Bellino Kester!"

Truk's intimidation was very powerful, and the prince shuddered and did not mention the matter of going back.

He said carelessly: "But the mine is gone, if you don't do something, you can't explain it to Youxiang, right?"

Truk thought for a while, and said with a fly-eating expression: "Have you taken pictures of what the paladins did just now? Add some details, make a mirage, and spread throughout the Godfall Plateau, no, the entire Finn! Let Everyone can clearly see the ugly face of the paladins, they even kill women and children!"

The prince was stunned: "By exposing the sins of the paladins to prevaricate You Xiang? How could you have fallen to this level?"

"At least buy some time, at most ten days, a brigade under my command can reach the Fort of Holy Light."

Truk had a fierce look in his eyes: "These powers are not enough to destroy Prell, but they are still more than enough to destroy Xia'andia."

The prince shivered: "That Xia An is a legend, didn't you just say not to provoke him?"

"What I'm talking about is only temporarily!"

Truk sneered: "As long as we are fully prepared, we can still deal with a mere legend. Don't forget, what happened to the fragments of the god corpse we mined with Federico."

"This..." the prince rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "That's true, everyone has my attendants."

He was still a little apprehensive: "Are you really going to start a war with Xia Andia?"

"Cya'andia, Pryor, and us are the only three forces on the Godfall Plateau." Truk patiently explained: "Before you provoked Xia'andia to find Pryor's troubles, and now this group of paladins must also be Pryor. Rael bewitched her, and Xia'andia became an unstable variable."

"Can we win Xia'andia to stand with us? Obviously not, can Prior win over Xia'andia? It's very possible!"

Truk looked directly at the prince: "We don't have the power to destroy Prell in one go, so what do you think we should do?"

The prince nodded approvingly: "Of course it is to destroy Xia Andia before they turn to Prell!"

On the castle podium, two halflings whispered.

"The relationship between Frodo and the paladins is different from before. I don't know what happened."

"Our relationship with paladins is different!"

Pique said: "Gomis, didn't you agree to stay with that old guy in Vic for a few days, find an opportunity to steal the thorn sword on his body, and leave? As a result, you have no intention of leaving at all. Frodo must think we have taken refuge with the Prince."

"There's nothing wrong with taking refuge in the prince. You see that the prince is so unlucky now, it's time to employ people." Gomis's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light: "Sir Vic said, when the next batch of mercenaries arrives, the mercenaries inside The halflings will be under our control, and we can also be captains!"

He smacked his lips: "There are female halflings inside, I really can't wait to touch the hairy insteps of the girls."

Pique was a little angry: "Don't you just ignore Frodo and the others?"

Gomis scratched his ears: "Okay, if I find an opportunity, I will tell Sir Vic that you will go out to scout the situation and contact them."

Peake scorned: "What about you? You are thinking about the title of knight promised by Old Vic, right?"

"You saw it just now, is the paladin a good place to go? Xia An may be a good guy, but his subordinates are all lunatics!"

Gomis said earnestly: "Just now they even killed civilians, that Farina, how beautiful, she saw us yesterday and smiled at us, what did she do? Just because she is a prostitute, so she deserves to die? "

The halfling shook his head deeply: "If the paladin wants to send me a shot to detect evil, I will definitely glow red. I don't want to go back to Xia'andia to die."

Peake also sighed: "Frodo must still be thinking about Glonia and Mayne, we have done everything we should do."

"Halfling!"

A person yelled at them. It was Old Vic's deputy Paladin Dakai: "Take a camera and go down to take pictures of those people's corpses. If there are still alive, let them talk and let them tell who did it."

Pique and Gomis looked at each other, and obeyed obediently.

………………

Xia'an Dia, in the mine deep in the basin, Xia'an wielded a pickaxe, clangingly digging, stopping to wipe his sweat from time to time.

He had been digging in the mine for a whole day, and hadn't used his powers, and even so, he had unearthed a piece of ore as soon as the hoe went down, and it was about the same size.The several baskets behind him were already filled with ore, and the mine carts outside the mine were also filled with several carts of ore.

"tutor!"

Nicole entered the mine and said with a full face: "This is a special situation for you, you should be able to use divine power."

"Mining is a practice that sharpens the skin and purifies the soul. Paladins cannot use their divine power to mine. It's a rule I made. Of course, I have to start." Xia An said, shoveling the ore into the back basket.Several panniers and straps were dragged to the side of the mine cart, and the ore was dumped into it.

He casually asked, "Banner and the others are back?"

"Yes, my sister quarreled with him." Nicole lowered her head: "I heard from the people who followed Banner that they burned the Holy Light Fortress and killed many civilians..."

Xia An hummed, and changed the subject: "Nicole, take the caravan to Beta City to meet Duke Prior."

"what?"

The purple-haired girl with a slanted ponytail was both surprised and angry: "What are you doing seeing him? He is the murderer who killed Jenny!"

"What are you doing? Use the ore to pay off the debt." Xia An patted the mine cart: "By the way, talk to him about business, Nicole..."

He waved his hand to stop the girl's next words: "I will take care of Banner's matter, as long as you concentrate on doing your own thing well."

Nicole's eyes were full of tears: "I...Okay, I will definitely do a good job and not let my instructor down!"

Back in the big wooden house in the center of the basin, two groups of people could be heard arguing from afar.

"In short, the reputation that the mentor has just established for our Xia'andian paladins in Beta City has been completely ruined by you!"

Nama's voice was extremely painful: "Banner, do you really know what you did!?"

Banner's voice was steady and firm, as unshakable as a rock: "We made a verdict on the spot, and we also used it to detect evil. I did not violate the law of justice, and I have a clear conscience! As long as it is evil, it must be eradicated!"

"Then why don't you die there!?"

Nama's voice became high-pitched: "The real evil isn't the prince, isn't it the paladin of the court? Why don't you attack the castle and kill them? You only know how to kill unarmed civilians!?"

"Nama, are you concerned about civilians now?"

Banner sneered: "A paladin is not a lunatic. When the evil is too strong, we must be good at preserving our strength, looking for opportunities, and preparing for the justice ruling in the future. Have you forgotten all the creeds in the scriptures?"

"enough……"

Xia An's voice sounded, and the paladins all shut up.

The legendary paladin stepped into the wooden house, his figure was a little hunched at first, and then he became tall and straight again.

"I know everything, Banner..."

He said a little tiredly: "Do you know where you are wrong?"

Banner hesitated, and said unwillingly: "I don't know, mentor..."

"Since you understand that when the evil is too strong, the paladins must preserve their strength, why do you want to attack the Fortress of the Holy Light and make Xia'andia the target of the enemy's revenge!?"

Xia An said coldly: "Nama is right. If you can break through the castle and give justice to the prince and the holy knights of the court, you are right. But you not only failed to destroy the enemy, but also returned to Xia Andia. It has brought about a crisis. If justice is practiced like this, can the paladin be passed down to the present?"

"Also, Xia'andia is a collective, you are not wandering paladins! The action against the Fortress of Light affects everyone in Xia'andia, and you actually acted without consulting everyone!"

Banner lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I see, mentor, I was indeed wrong."

He took a deep breath, raised his chest and raised his head again: "I am responsible for all the consequences!"

Dozens of paladins behind him also said in unison: "There are us!"

"Responsible for yourself!?"

Nama said angrily: "Even if you give all of your heads to the prince, he will let Xia'andia go!? You can bear the responsibility of going to war with the Holy Light Castle, the Kingdom of Kester, and even the loyal court! ?”

Banner said awe-inspiringly: "We came to Xia'andia, although we are far away from the vortex of Finn, but if we ignore the evil on the Godfall Plateau, are we still called paladins?"

Nama laughed: "Killing civilians deserves to be called paladins!? Jenny has already given his life for this, and you..."

"Nama! Banner!"

Xia An stopped another round of debate that was about to erupt, and it was the first time that the paladins felt the obvious anger in his tone, and they all subconsciously shut up and bowed their heads.

After being silent for a while, Xia An said in a low voice: "I know, you always firmly believe that you have justice. The determination to give everything for it is worth holding on to. But the eyes that measure everything by this are arrogant. I You don’t even think justice as I understand it can measure everything in the world, so why do you think you have become one with justice?”

"but……"

"I think……"

Banner and Nama wanted to say something at the same time, but Xia An interrupted sharply: "If you really believe that your path is correct, then hold the scale of Tire and make an oath!"

He glanced at all the paladins present: "Everyone, face the scale of Tyre, verify what you understand, and the justice you uphold must be the ultimate justice, and it must not be shaken!"

The paladins breathed heavily and looked at each other secretly, even Banner and Nama remained silent.

Not every paladin, like Princess Glonia, has a bloody feud and a clear path to justice.No one has such confidence in believing that his own justice will not change by half in the future.

The most important thing is that the scale of Tire is like the final judgment. No one is willing and daring to face such a judgment until it is necessary.

Xia An asked, "Is there no one?"

still no one...

After a long silence in the wooden hall, Xia An eased his tone: "From today onwards, Banner and all the people who go to the Fort of Holy Light, go to the mine to practice for three months! You are not allowed to leave Xia Andia for half a step!"

Banner and the others twisted their cheeks, but they didn't protest after all.

Nama said worriedly: "Over there at the Fort of Holy Light..."

"I will solve it!"

Xia An took the responsibility, and said to Nama: "Don't forget, we have another war. Nama, I will leave it to you. You have gone through that public trial, and you have enough insights. Should know how to do it."

Nama nodded solemnly: "I understand, mentor."

Banner looked at Nama, Nama looked back, and the eyes of the two were ignited, and they did not flinch from each other.
