Chapter 685 Old Knight Burdette

Accompanying Michel was the old leader, Burdette.

He once led the Mergen Knights to serve His Majesty the Emperor. The first battle was a head-on confrontation with the barbarians, and the barbarian army was defeated head-on.

The performance of the Mergen Knights at that time attracted everyone's attention and also retained the last fig leaf of the church.

It is precisely because of the existence of devout believers like him that the church still maintains considerable strength in the new era.

It is not right or wrong, and faith can never be banned.

Without Burdette, there would be others.

At least, he is a true church knight with impeccable moral character.

After more than ten years of fighting in the south and the north, almost half of the Mergen Knights died in the battle, leaving behind a great reputation.

Officers of the same period as Burdette, such as Virut, became important officials of the Great Xia Empire, but he chose to withdraw and return to the Mergen Monastery.

He even did not serve as the leader of the Knights again, and completely abandoned all his duties.

Burdette believed that he had completed the mission given by God, making the chaotic struggle for hegemony among the four countries a thing of the past, and the unified empire became the master of the world.

So he retired after his success and continued to serve God.

And the current Great Xia Empire also proved that his sacrifice with his comrades was not in vain.

Today's civilian life has greatly improved. Although the church has lost its military power, the belief in God has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If it continues like this, he may end his life in the Mergen Monastery.

However, the new era has given him a new mission.

As far as the eye can see, there are places where the glory of God has never shone, and the sacred bloodline needs him to continue to fight.

So Burdette came out again and assisted the Son of God to come to the New World.

Burdette, who is already fifty years old, is considered an old man.

But his face still looks tough, his temples are only slightly gray, and his muscles are strong, looking at least ten years younger.

When Burdette set foot on the land of the New World, he smiled: "Is this the land where the glory of the Lord has never shone?"

He did not think that difficulties would be something unacceptable, but felt happy instead.

Being able to complete the mission of spreading the sacredness is the real life.

In the first half of his life, he assisted the saints to establish a unified empire. In the second half of his life, he will assist the sacred bloodline to expand the territory for the Lord!

Michelle looked helpless. He had known this Knight Burdette since he was a child. It can be said that he was good in every way, but his faith was too fanatical.

It must be said that this was a very strange thing.

Michelle and Elf lived in the monastery since they were young, but they had no faith.

They admired knights like Burdette, but they admired his character.

This time Burdette came to assist him, and Michelle felt very complicated.

As far as he knew, this knight was not a fashionable old man who could keep up with the trend.

This one still insisted on that set of classical stuff, knight virtues, faith in God, and some things that seemed difficult to understand now.

At this time, he heard the other party muttering again, and he only felt absurd.

Of course, he admitted that Knight Burdette also played a great role. At least his strength was one of the best. I am afraid that there are not many people in the whole empire who can fight with him.

The comrades who fought together in those days have fallen far behind Burdette.

After all, everyone has achieved success and fame, and they are all entangled in worldly affairs.

And practicing martial arts is not a must. What does it matter if you are good at fighting in this era?

There is no essential difference between being able to fight ten warriors and being able to fight eleven warriors, but the effort required is dozens of times greater.

Can't you enjoy this time?

That is to say, Burdette persisted, and was obsessed with martial arts like a teenager.

Thinking of this, Michelle took a deep breath. At least there is one more guarantee. If he encounters danger, he may have to rely on Burdette to break out of the siege.

And this person's prestige is really scary... among the church knights.

This temporary group of knights who protect the church can only be suppressed by Burdette.

Otherwise, Michelle is a young man, even if he gets the support of the bigwigs of various factions in the church, he can't think of commanding this group of knights who protect the church.

Multiple factors intertwined, let Michelle maintain a very respectful attitude towards Burdette.

In response to Burdette's inquiry, he replied: "This is Canad, the fertile territory lost overseas. Our mission is to bring the glory of God to this land without faith."

Burdette was very satisfied with Michel's attitude and agreed: "Indeed, the inferior toolmos should disappear from this land, and God's people should live here."

Burdette, a fanatical religious man, obviously hates black toolmos.

He believes that this inferior life tarnishes the noble identity of God's people.

God should look like His Majesty the Emperor.

While the two were talking, Michel wanted to carry the box for him.

But Burdette refused and said meaningfully: "Son, I know you respect me, but this is the second life of a knight and you must never let it go."

Taking this opportunity, Michelle persuaded again: "Old Captain, the times have changed now, and knight armor is no longer meaningful."

"This is a gift from your father. There are only two sets in the entire empire," Burdette said with a smile, and suddenly asked: "Michelle, do you believe in God?"

"Believe!!" Michelle said insincerely.

Burdett's eyes were still clear, as if he had seen through Michelle's lies.

This fanatical religious person was not angry, but took out a cross from his arms and made a praying gesture.

"You will believe it sooner or later, because you have sacred blood." Burdett said in a confused manner.

Michelle didn't like the riddle man very much. She always felt that Burdett's words were ambiguous. What is the relationship between faith and blood?

In fact, the theory of bloodline is still popular, but there are already many different voices from biologists.

Young people are always more receptive and have some ideas of their own.

Burdett didn't explain. He felt that there was no need to explain. The sacred bloodline was so great that faith had never left. It was in the bloodline.

"Thank God, thank him for giving me the sacred bloodline." Burdett said in a faint voice. He let go of his hand, and the cross was engraved with the mark of a two-headed dragon.

If the people in the church saw it, they would definitely denounce him as a heretic.

The cross is a symbol of God and must not be desecrated.

Moreover, engraving the noble coat of arms is like replacing the concept of God with His Majesty the Emperor.

No matter how spineless the church is, it only recognizes His Majesty the Emperor as a saint, or even as the incarnation of God, but he is definitely not God.
