Lei said indifferently: "If they hadn't wasted a lot of fighting energy in the nest, I'm afraid our casualties would have tripled. However, it's finally over, and I have finally done what I wanted. Now I order everyone to go toward

"Iron Castle" is marching, hurry up, there is no need to collect the bodies of the brothers. If you have time to collect the corpses, it is better to kill a few more people on the battlefield to avenge them." Lei's worries are as follows: "If they send even 10,000 people without

After the battle, as long as they have a smarter commander, few of our army will be able to escape." The sight of the Knights of Glory massacring the mainland coalition forces was still deeply hidden in Lei's heart.

.This time, if the sinners hadn’t consumed a lot of strength themselves, I’m afraid the scene would have been ugly and ugly.

On the tower of a small castle in the center of the 'Iron Castle', Hart and other twelve grand knights of the Knights of Glory and several other leaders of the 'Sacred City' garrison looked at Lei with a somewhat sad look.

He didn't dare to look at Rhine's body, as if he was afraid that such an action would make him sad or something. After a long time, Hart said: "I didn't expect that one of them would be able to defeat Rhine.

And it forced him to pass on the inheritance."

Lant's face was extremely ugly. He took a long breath, exhaled it slowly, and then whispered: "But it's okay, at least the power of the 'Lion' Knight has been passed down.

Although Lei is not a member of our Knights of Glory, at least someone has inherited the power of the 'Lion' Knight. Unlike those knights, when they died in battle, no one was left around them. In the end, only us were left.

Thirteen.”

Sok waved the wand in his hand and whispered: "Well, Rhine, if our magic power hadn't been exhausted, you wouldn't have had to lead the rear alone. This is all the fault of us old men.

It would be nice if our magic power could be stronger."

Lei looked at these people talking to themselves in confusion, and after holding back his words for a long time, he finally asked: "Lord Hart, everyone, can you tell me, what does the so-called inheritance mean? First of all, I discovered that

My own strength has increased more than ten times, but some weird things have also been passed on, and I really don’t understand what they are.”

Hart walked up to Lei, looked into Lei's eyes with his deep eyes, and said harmoniously: "Do you want to know the specific situation? I can explain it to you. The so-called inheritance, the so-called 'knight' inheritance

, the origin lies in the surviving Paladins after the War of the Gods... After the War of Gods, the righteous gods won, the evil gods were expelled, and the followers of the evil gods were also expelled. But they went

They have reached the 'Forgotten Continent', where they can regroup their forces to counterattack at any time. In order to resist their attack and gather the power of the entire continent, our ancestors built the 'Sacred City'."

"One hundred and three Paladins, a total of one hundred and three extremely powerful Paladins, have entered the 'Sacred City'. The first group to accompany them into the 'Sacred City' was the divine mage they had fought side by side, the Violent Beast.

Soul warriors are the ancestors of the current major garrison groups... But, Lei, as you know, the 'God of War' that our Vante Empire believes in has betrayed the justice of the world and betrayed the light.

Our Paladins, on the other hand, are warriors who abandoned the gods they initially believed in and fully explored the potential of their bodies. Unlike other allied legions, without the blessing of gods, each generation of knights will become more and more powerful.

The weaker we are, it won't take too long before the strength of our Knights of Glory will drop to a level where we cannot fight against the enemy at all. This is a very scary thing, and at the same time, it is also a blow to the pride of our knights."

"Those ancestors, in order to prevent the power of the younger generations from weakening too quickly, with the help of the divine mages of the Holy Magic Group and the Holy Spirit Magic Group, they obtained a sacred inherited ritual. With all their own

As the price of his soul, he integrates all of his strength and the imprint of his life into the body of his chosen heir. That heir will inherit all his strength, his courage, his knowledge and even his pride."

Suok slowly took a few steps forward and sighed in a low voice: "However, the ancestors who invented this ritual did not understand one thing, that is, the power of the Paladin is too powerful. The successor

Their physical strength was completely impossible to withstand their power. Nineteen paladins, including the Meteor knight who first performed the inheritance ceremony, had their heirs blown into pieces. Therefore, it was our ancestors who carried out the inheritance ceremony among the paladins.

A magic spell similar to a shackle is added to the soul of the paladin. Only the heir can understand all the thoughts of the paladin. Only when he is strong enough to truly inherit that power can the extremely powerful power of the paladin be truly realized.

into his body and soul."

Lant said loudly: "The shackles are the lion's mark on your right arm, just like Hart's right arm is a golden heart and my right arm is the mark of a plain."

Hart pondered for a while and continued to explain: "Do you understand now? The price of this kind of inheritance is the life and soul of the previous generation of knights. After burning everything, everything about themselves is integrated into the body of the next generation of heirs.

Therefore, each successive generation of knights has the same name, because in a sense, what we inherit is the same noble life that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years... So you Lei, now

That is, the 'Lion' Knight, and you are also Rhine."

Sun Knight Sang En sighed in a low voice: "It is a pity that despite this inheritance ceremony, our strength is still weakening day by day. Until now, although we can still be a hundred times stronger than ordinary warriors,

But it is no longer possible to recreate the glory of the Holy Knight before. The power is too powerful. We have exhausted our whole life and can only absorb a little bit, but it is this little bit of power that makes us powerful."

Flame Knight Farr also nodded and said: "Yes, we can only absorb a little bit of the power from the previous knights. Lei, you have to know that for hundreds of thousands of years, all the power of thousands of knights have been gathered in that

In the brand, if any of us can fully obtain that power, a warrior more powerful than the Holy Knight will appear. At that time, the 'Blood Knight' Ming Desi will not be our opponent. It is a pity.

The thing is, none of us can do that."

Lei stayed for a long time and then said: "So, now, I am really..."

Hart nodded solemnly: "Yes, of course you can keep your own name, because you are not a member of the Knights of Glory, and we will not force you to join the Knights of Glory. But you are already burdened with all the

With the power and knowledge of the 'Lion' Knight, you must inherit the title of 'Lion' Knight... At the same time, I hope General Lei can understand that our Glory Knights only have thirteen great knights, and we cannot afford to lose another great knight.

The blow to morale is a devastating blow to the opportunity, do you understand?"

Lei licked his lips, and before he could speak, Mubarata howled loudly: "That's right, since that guy from Rhine gave you the right to inherit, you must act like you really have Rhine."

'Same, fight bravely like a lion. If you are timid and afraid of death and dare not go to the battlefield, just let the old guy Sok teach you the secret of inheritance, and you can pass on your strength to another glory knight.

Already."

Hart waved his hand to stop Mubarata's shouting. He chuckled and said: "General Lei is not a person who dares not go to the battlefield, otherwise he would not dare to bring people to reinforce us first. Lei

General, do you think so? However, as Mubarata said, if you want to fight like Rhine, you must show your strength in front of all the glory knights and let the soldiers believe that although the previous generation

Rhine is dead, but his heir is still an invincible warrior."

Lei nodded honestly and said: "I will work hard. I swore that I would kill those criminals and those who killed Master Rhine. I am absolutely responsible for my oath...

I swear, I will definitely do it." Lei's eyes once again flashed that weird cold light, which made Hart and others feel shuddering, and at the same time, they felt a deep sense of relief for no reason.

At least Rhine's sacrifice was valuable.

Clayton said gloomily: "One hundred and three paladins, and now there are only thirteen heirs...Lei, don't let us down. Rhine has never made us worry about anything about him.

Since you have inherited his power, you must also inherit his responsibilities."

Lei's heart twitched violently, not because of Clay's gloomy and weird tone, but because he himself felt that his heart was a lot heavier because of Clay's words. The stronger the power, the stronger the power.

The greater the responsibility. And what can I, a small imperial regiment leader, do in the face of such an endless decisive battle between races that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years? No matter how strong my own strength is, what can I do?

He is only as strong as a Rhine.

Hart saw the change in Lei's facial expression. He sighed softly and said: "General Lei, what do you have to worry about? You are not asked to shoulder such a responsibility alone. All of us are.

You must work hard to repel the attacks of the guilty people, what do you have to worry about? As long as you do your part, that's all."

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Hart said softly: "Okay, General Lei, you already understand what inheritance means, and you have inherited the power of the 'Lion' Knight. As long as you

Try your best, then you don't have to worry about anything. The length of the 'Lion Heart' sword is still suitable for your height, so it can be used; but the 'Crazy Lion' armor, I'm afraid it will be a bit awkward for General Lei to wear it.

It's possible. Lant, go and supervise the construction of a high-quality magic crystal armor for the two masters, General Lei, Sok, and Lei Kelong. I'll leave it to you to add the magic spell to the armor."

Suok nodded gently, and said with a long beard: "No problem, I just thought of using thousands of mages to work at the same time, trying to create armor that is close to the defensive power of the Paladin armor. It just happened that this

Let’s give it a try once. However, using magic crystals to make armor takes a lot of effort. I’m afraid General Lei can’t wait, right?”

Lei shook his head and said angrily: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether I want armor or not. But if I wear an extra magic armor, my chances of saving my life are greater. But let the two mages worry about it." Lei also knew that and

You must be polite when dealing with these old guys. If you are so polite, the two old guys might put more thought into their armor. When fighting against the criminals, even if Lei has a body with high physical defense, one more piece

Armor is never a bad thing.

Waving his hand to suck up Rhine's body from the ground, Hart whispered: "Okay, now, let's go and give our brothers a temporary resting place. When we take back the 'City of God', we will let this

The old lion is sleeping peacefully in the tomb that he should enjoy. Now, we can only find an uncomfortable substitute."

The group of people followed Hart down the tower in silence. The news that Rhine had died in the battle seemed to have spread. The Knights of Glory walked over quickly from all corners of the 'Iron Castle' with gloomy expressions.

Looking at Rhine who was holding Hart in his hands. One of the Glory Knights drew out his long sword, followed by the second and third one. All the Glory Knights drew out their long swords, raised their swords to the sky, and took one knee.

Kneel down on the ground.

Hart held Rhine's body and walked between the glory knights. The other eleven knights and Lei followed Hart closely. Lei's upper body was still naked, and his right arm

The lion's brand on Lei's body looked so dazzling in the rising sun. A Glory Knight discovered the brand on Lei's body and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. Then, more and more Glory Knights saw the marks on Lei's arm.

, as if they suddenly found some sustenance, all the glory knights roared loudly: "Lion...Lion...Lion..."

Gradually, the Chaos Knights, Beast Soul Warriors, Light Swordsmen, Judgment Fighters and other warriors who stayed in the 'Iron Castle' who were crowded outside all started shouting together. Their moods changed from what they had just heard about Rhine's death in battle.

They quickly recovered from their daze, and they cheered happily for the birth of Lei, the new 'Lion' knight. The Glory Knights stood up one by one, and they followed Hart towards the 'Iron Castle'

We walked through the east gate. Behind the east gate was a small hill. It was the most suitable place to temporarily bury Rhine's body. As for the coffin, could it be that there were so many knights with superb swordsmanship split open with fighting spirit?

Is it difficult to make a strong coffin out of a rock?

The funeral crowd had dispersed, and Lei stood alone in front of Lain's grave, muttering something in a low voice. If you have good ears, you can hear Lei's not-so-nice words: "Old guy, what did you inherit?

The power was given to me, but it gave me a big trouble... If I inherited your power, I would have to shoulder a responsibility a hundred times heavier than before. But I am just an ordinary person, how could this be possible?

Can you afford it?”

Lei stood there and said to himself: "But if I want to transfer the brand to other glory knights, I have to burn all my soul and life. In other words, I have to die to give this thing away.

Damn it, I don’t want to die yet... So, I have to work hard to fulfill your instructions. Alas, I don’t know how well I can do it. It’s useless to ask you to bless me. Your soul is all

Once it’s completely burned, what else is left? Oh, really... If you want me to help you take care of Li, I will do it seriously. Anyway, at worst, I will take a few more serious blows for her. But, you have to know

, your daughter's temper is not very good, I may not be able to control her."

Yelling, Lei shook his head and said: "You Li's fighting spirit is already so strong. It's all because you doted on her too much and instilled so much fighting spirit in her. What should I do? She can do it at any time.

There is a possibility of rushing to the criminal brigade to fight for her life. I can't follow her all day long. Alas... I haven't met her yet today. I don't know if she has taken people out to kill people. It's really a headache. I hope she doesn't know yet.

You're already dead, it's best to stay like this."

A cold voice came from behind Lei, startling Lei who was talking so happily to himself that he almost forgot where he was standing. When Lei turned around hurriedly, he saw Li with red eyes. Standing behind him, he said coldly: "I don't need your care, I can take care of myself... Also, if you dare to tell others that I cried, I will never let you go." ." After saying that, Li looked at Rhine's grave with nostalgia for a long time, and finally struck the thunder hard and flew out lightly.

Lei shook his head and sighed, as if he had suddenly aged fifty years. Then, he heard the crazy roars of the criminals coming from outside the west gate of the 'Iron Castle' in the distance...
