Chapter 333 Becoming a Torch

Lorencos was the person who had followed the Iron-blooded General the longest. The two had known each other when they were young, and Lorencos was only a few years younger than the Iron-blooded General.

They swore an oath together, joined the army together, killed the enemy together, and were promoted to legends on the battlefield one after another.

Lorencos was the Iron-blooded General's most trusted left and right arm. The two had blocked the knife for each other. It can be said that even his wife was not so close.

But as Rachel Angelo became more and more brutal, Lorencos began to feel confused.

The fanatical belief in the empire once made Lorencos believe that everything he did was justice and a contribution to all mankind.

There is no doubt that humans live very well in the Ryan Empire, much better than other kingdoms, so unifying the continent and making all humans happy is a great cause worth fighting for.

However, some people will take this madness to the extreme in bloody killings, while some people will be extinguished by blood.

Rachel Angelo became more and more extreme and cruel, and the lower age limit for slaughter was getting lower and lower. Lorenkos had talked about this issue with Rachel Angelo, but nothing could shake Rachel Angelo's will.

After all, he was a paladin of the Conquest Oath. If he let it go, he would become an oathbreaker.

Lorenkos had tried to hide his inner confusion, not thinking, not introspecting, and everything would not become a trouble. This effect was very good until Frodo was born.

Lorenkos didn't expect that he could still give birth to a child when he was almost sixty years old.

He didn't want a child at first. Since he was full of sins, how could he have the nerve to give birth to a child? But in the end, at the request of his wife, the two of them gave birth to Frodo. Thanks to the power of the Holy Light, it would be really difficult to give birth to a child at the age of almost sixty.

After becoming a father, many things have to be thought about. But as Amber said, the old people in Ryan have long been inseparable from the empire.

Their relatives and friends are all fanatical followers of the empire. If a person is sober, it is a torture.

They tried hard to keep everything. This is the first premise, and then change the empire.

And such a premise often leads to them being unable to do anything.

Lorencos is no different from James Watson. In the end, Frodo became Rachel Angelo's subordinate and the closest guard.

Then, Frodo's hands were also stained with blood.

Lorencos had hidden this guilt in his heart, and there was nothing wrong with his usual behavior. But when Frodo was turned into a dead spirit, this wrapped guilt broke out of the shell.

If not, Lorencos would not let Alan, the traitor, stay with Frodo for a night.

When Alan talked about the unjust war, Lorencos could no longer bear it.

"Alan, you are right. We have committed endless sins, and the holy light should turn into a raging fire to burn me. Frodo, we will all fall into hell."

Frodo was shocked by his father. He was just a little shaken, but his father admitted the words of the traitor?

Allen felt that it was too smooth. He wondered how long it would take to find like-minded people, but he found two, one of whom was a legendary paladin?

"It must be the blessing of the Lord of Dawn!" Allen firmly believed in this great god.

However, although Lorencos thought Allen was right, he did not bow down, but asked: "Alan, what are you going to do?" Allen quickly replied: "First, we look for more like-minded people. Our power is too weak to stop this war." Lorencos asked again: "How long will it take you to find? Even if the lich makes a scene, plus the influence of the curse, it can only delay it for a month at most. How many people can you find in this time?" Allen hesitated, he had no answer to this question.

"I don't know. I just realized recently that I know too little about Ryan. Before, we were all blinded by fanatical beliefs, and even our hearts were closed. How many people can I find in this time? Maybe only a few. But no matter how slim the hope is, we must try hard."

Alan became more and more determined as this was not an easy task.

Even if the Lord of Dawn blessed him and let him find allies immediately, he couldn't go from a few people to hundreds or thousands in the next few days.

Even if this kind of thing really happened, it must be a trap set by the iron-blooded general.

But Lorencos would not let Alan off so easily, and continued to ask, "If you don't have confidence in yourself, how can you stop this war?"

Alan was no longer confused, and said frankly, "No matter what the result is, I will appear on the battlefield. If necessary, I will stand on the side of the Unholy Song and help them fight against Ryan's invasion. I don't expect many people to accompany me to the battlefield in just a few days, but I am not important. What is important is that someone has the same idea as me. Even if I die on the battlefield, someone will remember what I did, and soon someone will make the same choice as me."

Lorencos said sarcastically, "Are you so confident? If you die, everything will be over. I will not admit this meeting, and I will even spit on you as a traitor with others."

Alan said confidently: "Of course I am confident. For more than a thousand years, Ryan has believed in the Lord of Dawn. I believe in the Lord of Dawn. Under His glory, there will never be a lack of warriors. I am just the first one to light the fuse. Even if I burn out, there will be descendants who will continue to save this empire."

This is the truth that Arthur Ryan told him. People will die, but ideas will not.

Among the hundreds of millions of people in this empire, Alan does not think that he is the most special one. The warriors of this empire are just confused. They don't know what to do, and they don't even know if there are like-minded companions around them.

Alan will tell these confused warriors that many people have discovered the corruption of the empire and want to save the country with their lives.

After listening to Alan's words, Lorenkos was silent for a long time until Frodo couldn't help asking: "Father, you...what's wrong with you?"

Lorenkos said to Frodo: "Child, you still have a chance to atone for your sins. If you don't want to fall into hell, follow Alan."

Frodo still couldn't accept it. Why did he suddenly have to follow this traitor?

This is unreasonable. Even if there is something wrong with the Empire, is it treason? Can't you stay in Ryan and find a way to change it?

Frodo couldn't help but retort: ​​"Father, maybe we can have other ways..."

"Maybe, but you can't wait." Lorenkos sighed and said: "Just like Allen can't gather enough strength before the war starts, if you hesitate, you won't have the chance to atone for your sins. Do you think the curse is really gone?"

Frodo recalled the feeling of slowly turning into a dead spirit, and the fear that could not be dispelled once again enveloped his heart.

Is this really the only way for him?

Frodo looked at Allen in confusion, but Allen shook his head and said to him: "Although I don't know how many sins you have committed, I want to tell you that if you change your position for atonement, it will be meaningless. This is a sacrifice, not a deal, Frodo."

Allen's understanding of the Holy Light is getting deeper and deeper. In the past, he would still care about merits and what is right and wrong.

But now, he will no longer indulge in these calculations.

Fulfilling the oath and fighting for justice, there is no gain or loss, no merit, these are not important at all.

If Frodo does things for atonement, he will not be forgiven by the Lord of Dawn.

Lorenkos sighed and said, "You are right, I was wrong."

"So, no matter what I do now, I will go to hell?" Frodo felt that his brain was about to stop working under the impact of so much information.

Alan nodded, he would not deceive Frodo for an extra helper.

"Frodo, go back and think it over, but if possible, please don't report me. I need more time and get more support. And if you think it through, come here to find me, I will wait here until the war starts."

Two days later, Alan waited for the father and son, as well as several paladins they brought.

At first, Alan thought that Frodo and Lorenkos had changed their minds and brought people to arrest him, but the number of people was too small.

As a result, it turned out that these paladins were all instigated by Lorenkos.

As the Holy King said, many people in the Ryans have the same idea as Allen. However, they dare not show it at all, and they don't know who around them has the same idea as themselves.

Allen is now a torch that will attract countless moths ready to fly into the fire.

Lorencos said: "In fact, there are more than these people. At least 30 people in Liuyan City are willing to follow us. They are all my subordinates. I know them very well. But they are too weak. Our defection will definitely attract pursuers. If we take them with us, they will only die in vain."

Allen agrees with Lorencos's words. People with similar interests don't necessarily have to gather together.

Instead of waiting for Liuyan City to hunt them down and catch them all, it is better to leave some fire, which will sooner or later burn a huge fire.

All this went incredibly smoothly. In a few days, Allen had six high-level holy warriors and a legend under his command.

Including Allen himself, this is already a very luxurious force.

The advantage of a small number of people and all elites was soon revealed. Allen easily avoided two waves of pursuers from Liuyan City.

But at this time, Allen suddenly discovered a strange situation. When he was avoiding the pursuers, he saw several tieflings sneaking into Liuyan City.

Allen ignored the danger and stayed outside Liuyan City.

After waiting for a long time, he saw these tieflings coming out of Liuyan City smoothly.

They left intact without any missing arms or legs or any obvious injuries.

This was not in line with the style of the iron-blooded general. He was a ruthless man who wanted to exterminate other races. There was no such rule as not killing envoys when two countries were at war.

There was only one possibility for these tieflings to leave smoothly. They brought news that made these iron-blooded generals very happy.

Are the tieflings going to surrender? Or are there tieflings who want to be traitors? Or are they the ghosts arranged by the iron-blooded generals?

In any case, this information must be very important.

Allen had to think about a question. Should he find a way to figure out this information, or should he remind those key figures first, such as the lich who made people unconscious when thinking of him.
