I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 16 The Price of Burning Life

Bruce looked at the villagers being abused, his heart filled with anger and pain, and his thoughts returned to the good times he had with these friends.

Instantly, Bruce's anger turned into a firm determination, and he decided to fight those cruel thugs to the end. Suddenly, he found a group of villagers fleeing, including some injured old people and children.

These beasts simply don't care about these children and the elderly. But after killing all the men and raping all the women, the remaining ones will be the elderly and children.

But at this moment, Bruce's reason has been completely submerged in the impulse of revenge. In his mind, only by eliminating all the murderers can he calm the murderous intent deep in his heart.

"Lina, save people." Alpha and Lina had already rushed into the village. They also saw the villagers who were fleeing and decided to rescue them with all their strength.

Manni fled with the last few warriors around her. On the way, Manni kept praying, hoping that the gods could save her and the people around her. However, the enemy was too powerful, and many villagers died in the hands of the enemy.

Manni was in great pain. If they had not sacrificed themselves to protect themselves, they might not have been hurt. The soldiers in the village sacrificed themselves to protect themselves. Manni felt very guilty and tears flowed down unconsciously.

"She is Manni, the saint of our village, a sorcerer who can dissolve soul-stealing fighting skills." Among the beasts that surrounded them were also men from the village.

"God will punish you." Manny looked at the fallen soldiers around her, and her heart was filled with despair. At this moment, Manny seemed to realize her fate. She was no longer able to fight, but she didn't want to see herself being toyed with by the beasts. Manny looked up to the sky, praying that God would punish these demons.

"Don't let her commit suicide." One of the beasts saw the reflection of the metal in Manny's hand and immediately realized something. Everyone rushed over together. At this moment, Manny didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.

"Damn you, you stinky woman, you dare to pray!" A group of men rushed towards Manni, groping her and tearing her clothes. Manni fought back desperately, but found that she was exhausted and unable to resist.

"Hahaha, you're a saint, right? You're going to be played with by us later." The men laughed crazily. Countless dishonest hands touched and tore Manny's body. After a few touches, Manny was no longer covered with clothes.

"God, please punish these beasts!" If it was just her, Manny might not ask God for help, but the screams of the surrounding villagers were unbearable.

"Ah!" A scream came from behind, but it did not attract the attention of the beasts in front. It was not until half of them fell that the beasts realized that someone was attacking them.

"Who are you?" A soldier stood up, but in his panic, he even held the wrong weapon.

"I am a Knight of Discipline. I am now judging your crimes according to the will of the God of Light." Although his inner belief in God was not firm, the practice during this period made Alpha understand that he could suppress these beasts with the help of the power of God.

"Knight of Discipline, you are from the Holy See." There was a hint of doubt in the warrior's eyes.

"Do you know who they are?" The soldier pointed at the villagers covered in blood.

"No matter who you are, we are all equal in the eyes of God. God loves the world. Put down your butcher knife and accept God's judgment!" Alpha felt like vomiting and felt that he had become a charlatan.

"Okay, then don't blame me for being rude, brothers, kill them." Five soldiers surrounded them. At this moment, Lina appeared, pulled Manni to a safe place, comforted her injured heart, and saved other suffering villagers.

Bruce was also fighting fiercely with the demons, and with his agility and tenacious will, he blocked the enemy's attacks time and time again.

However, these demon bandits are not simple. Some of them possess extraordinary abilities and can easily infiltrate the territory of the Holy See of Light to commit crimes.

Facing such an enemy, Bruce did not retreat, but continued to fight tenaciously. With his agility and tenacity, Bruce blocked the enemy's attacks again and again. And his strength was constantly improving, showing the devil what a real devil is.

After a fierce battle, Bruce finally defeated these evil beasts. Looking at the evil beasts lying in a pool of blood, Bruce's murderous aura slowly dissipated.

At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight fell, everything returned to peace. The demons and beasts were either killed or had already fled.

Bruce looked around and was shocked by the scene before him: the entire village was massacred and destroyed, and many innocent villagers became victims.

Bruce took a deep breath, holding back his tears, and decided to avenge them at all costs, as well as the thieves and robbers who escaped. Bruce wanted to kill everyone. But Bruce used the soul-stealing fighting skills, and there was no turning back. Bruce sat at the head of the village, quietly waiting for death to come.

"Bruce." Nasha and Dr. Nars have also arrived, but unfortunately they cannot stop the flow of time.

"Bruce, there is another way to stop your vitality from burning." At this moment, Manny also came over.

Once the soul is used, the vitality will continue to burn, even if the battle has stopped. In a day at most, Bruce will be exhausted and use up the last bit of energy in his life.

"What method? Saint." Originally, Bruce had a low status and could not contact the Saint at all, but now there are only twenty people alive in the entire village, and Bruce has become the strongest fighter in the village.

"The cost of lowering your cultivation level is to stop the soul-sucking and continue its operation. Of course, the wasted vitality will not come back." The reason why Manny became a saint is because of this unique skill.

"I am willing to do anything as long as I can be with Nasha." Bruce has lost everything and now only hopes to live with his wife and daughter.

"Okay, leave it to me!" The rest of the matter was left to Manny.

Manny used her special ability to temporarily stop Bruce's vitality from burning and helped him recover some of his strength. Bruce decided not to escape reality anymore and decided to fight to protect his family and villagers.

"Lord Alpha." Amid the corpses, Fattam, Lina and the others searched for their beliefs in the destroyed village.

"Let's go save people." The survivors had to continue to survive, and everyone began to clean up the almost destroyed village.

In the end, out of the several hundred people in the village, only thirty-two people survived. Among them, eight girls were tortured beyond recognition, suffering serious physical and mental injuries, and it was unknown whether they could survive.

"Beasts! How could they do this?" Nars tried her best to save the child, but the child in her arms was only twelve years old and had lost all vital signs.

"I want revenge! I want to kill them all!" Nars gnashed her teeth and yelled, "Beth, I'm going to kill you."

"Nars, I will not let any of those people go. Your task now is to save them." There were only seven seriously injured girls left, one of whom was her eldest daughter.

"Lord Alpha, where are you?" Lina cried out.

"Lina, when was the last time you saw Lord Alpha? What was he doing?" Fattam knew that he had to remain calm at this moment, but he was extremely annoyed.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier as time went on. Even if Alpha didn't die in battle, he would be frozen to death.

"I saw Lord Alpha fighting with five warriors, and finally went in that direction." Lina knew that Alpha was creating an opportunity for himself to save people.

"Let's go over there. If he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body!" Fattam and a few others quickly moved in the direction Lina pointed.

Finally, they found Alpha under the ruins of a collapsed house, but Alpha was frozen and lifeless, and Lina burst into tears.

The moment Fattam saw Alpha, she felt as if her heart was frozen. She couldn't believe that Lord Alpha, who was so energetic in the morning, had now turned into an ice sculpture.

In this disaster, Alpha was not the strongest fighter in the village, but he always stood on the front line and protected everyone.

Lina hugged Alpha's body, tears falling like beads from a broken string. At this moment, she knew that Alpha was her heaven, Alpha was her everything, but now Alpha had left her.

Lina hated those beasts who raped girls, hated those bandits who destroyed the village, and hated herself even more. She hated why she was unable to protect Alpha.

When she thought that Alpha was dead, Lina felt her heart bleeding. Lina swore that no matter who hurt Alpha, she would take revenge with her life.

Lina gently stroked Alpha's cheek and said softly: "Alpha, don't worry, I will avenge you. As long as I, Lina, am still alive, I will never let those people live."

"Lina, I'm not dead yet, I'm so cold!" Suddenly a familiar voice appeared in Lina's ears.

"Alpha, Lord Alpha, you are not dead yet." Looking at Alpha's open mouth still emitting a trace of steam, Lina shouted excitedly.

"Hurry up and carry Lord Alpha back." Fattam also showed a long-lost smile on his face. He thought his sky had fallen, but unexpectedly the sky was still bright.

With the help of several people, Alpha finally lay safely in the warm bed.

Lina took good care of Alpha, hoping that he could recover soon. Fatam found some herbs and made a bowl of medicinal soup for Alpha.

Although Fattam doesn't know how to make medicine, he has learned a little from Lina over the years, and she firmly believes that Lord Alpha will get better.

After drinking the medicine soup, Alpha finally regained some strength. He took Lina's hand and said weakly: "Lina, I'm fine, you guys go and rest too."

"Lord Alpha, you should have a good rest first. When you have fully recovered, we will go together to find those bandits and kill them all." Fattam's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Alpha nodded and fell into a deep sleep again, which lasted for three days and three nights.

Three days later, Alpha finally recovered and was able to move normally. Alpha and Fattam discussed and decided to start looking for the whereabouts of the bandits. They planned to go to the nearest city to inquire whether there were any bandit gangs.

……

"Rohan, you can't go over there. He is our benefactor." Bruce stood in front of several villagers, as if they had a conflict over something.

"You know who we are. He is a knight of the Vatican. Once we get out, we will surely die." The hidden village seemed to have his secret. For this secret, they did not hesitate to kill their benefactor.

"Our village has encountered a great disaster and can no longer bear any risks. Bruce, please get out of the way." Another knight pushed Bruce down rudely.

Bruce's strength is greatly weakened now, and he is no match for them at all.

"What you are doing is no different from those beasts. If it weren't for him, how many of us would be alive." Unexpectedly, Saint Manni also stood up to block the way.

"But."

"No buts. If God doesn't give us a chance, we will perish wherever we go." Manny looked at everyone sternly.

"Then what should we do now?" Everyone could ignore Bruce's face, but the orders of the Saint could not be disobeyed.

"I'm going to confess everything to Alpha Knight. If you're scared, you can pack up and leave now." The existence of the village is no longer a secret. Even without Alpha, it wouldn't be long before everyone would leave.

There was nothing the crowd could do, so those who needed to pack up packed up, and those who needed to leave left.

"Nars, there are still several seriously injured people." The reason why they didn't leave now was because the girls couldn't move around.

"Two are still in danger, and one is out of danger." This means that at most three of the eight girls will survive.

"Take good care of them." Manny took Bruce towards Alpha's room, with a serious expression as if she was going to die on the battlefield.

"Sir Alpha Knight, this is the situation. We accept all your punishments." Manny told the situation in the village, hoping to get Alpha Knight's forgiveness.

Alpha also learned the secret of the village. In fact, a hundred years ago, Bruce's country was considered a pagan by the Vatican, and a holy war was launched, leading to the destruction of the country.

Those who survived were identified as heretics, and anyone could kill them at will and receive generous rewards from the Church.

This gave rise to a group of special knights who specialized in hunting down pagans, and not many people would give up such a generous reward.

"That's it!" Alpha doesn't believe in God, let alone care about pagans.

"Let's go! Leave here as soon as possible. Let everything that happened more than a hundred years ago go with the wind!" Alpha knew that even though he didn't care, it didn't mean that others didn't care. With such a generous reward, he had to leave for sure.

"Aren't you going to punish us, Lord Knight Alpha?" Manny looked at Alpha in disbelief. As a knight of the Holy See, he did not kill the pagans immediately, but released several of them. Alpha was indeed different.

"How about this? I will give you a new identity so that you don't have to hide in the dark. You can become my servants and then walk freely in the world." Alpha's proposal can be said to be the best outcome.

"Of course we are willing, but to pardon heretics we need a warrant from at least the Grand Master of the Knights. If you do this, we will implicate you." Not just anyone can be a knight's squire.

"It's okay, it's me." Alpha's strength is not that good, but his status is not low.

Under the surprised gazes of Manny and Bruce, Alpha pressed the seal representing the Commander of the Knights.

The seal cannot be pressed by just anyone. It must be pressed by the person himself. Otherwise, there will be no special mark and no meaning of the precepts.

"Thank you, Knight Commander." Manny held the certificate, which was the certificate that the tribe members had longed for all their lives.

As for seeking revenge against the Holy See, they do not have the courage to do so. Although the Holy See has declined in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and it is not something that ordinary people can change.
