Chapter 223 The Knights of God

Chapter 223 The Knights of God

The top warriors were fighting each other. Even Huang Mu and Charlotte Lin Lin, who were not targeted by opponents of the same level, were besieged by a group of enemies whose strength should not be underestimated.

Unfortunately, even with the advantage of geographical location, the army, which has been weak for many years, is no match for the main force of the Universe Dark Matter Pirates.

Under the siege and stranglehold of hundreds of thousands of New World pirates, tens of thousands of army soldiers were rapidly reduced in numbers at an alarming rate.

Seeing that the city wall defense line built by the World Government at great cost was about to be occupied by pirates, the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God, Fergalando Green, who had been sitting in the rear, became a little restless.

"A bunch of trash who can't even beat pirates..."

Ancient Saint Green, who was sitting at the head of the long table, suddenly snorted coldly, attracting the attention of the nineteen members of the Knights of God sitting on both sides of the long table.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way, are those Space Pirates really that powerful?"

A young-looking Knight of God showed a look of astonishment. He thought that it was already embarrassing enough for the World Government to set up such a big battle because of a group of pirates, but in the end, they were attacked by those pirates in the Holy Land.

Even in the 800-year history of the World Government, there has never been such a humiliating and vicious incident.

Although all the members of the Knights of God were present under the repeated orders of the Five Elders, the proud Knights of God never thought that one day they would be attacked by despicable pirates.

Therefore, except for Ancient Saint Green, who possesses super observation Haki and can sense the battle situation on the front line in the Holy Land Palace, the other Knights of God are not even too lazy to understand the current battle situation.

"Rather than saying that the pirates are powerful, it's better to say that the army is useless! Even if such a tall wall can't stop the enemy, what's the point of supporting this bunch of trash?"

Another Divine Knight spoke with disdain, saying that to the high and mighty Divine Knights, who were all Celestial Dragons, even the iron-fisted Ryuluo, who was an army general, was nothing more than a dog raised by the World Government.

As the creators and rulers of the World Government, the Celestial Dragons do have reason to treat the Army as their own dogs.

"I think this is good. I can show my strength and stretch my muscles at the same time. Since the last hunt, I almost forgot how long it has been since I last had fun."

"Hehe, then you can have fun this time. I heard that there are more than 100,000 untouchables who have landed on Marijoa. It's almost time for hunting..."

"Don't be too relaxed. These are hundreds of thousands of pirates, not ordinary lowly people who can only run away..."

"I think a few hundred thousand is a little too little. If it could be several hundred thousand or even several million..."

……

The Knights of God chatted in a very relaxed manner. Even when the two outer defense lines of Red Harbor and Marijoa fell one after another and they were about to face the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, the Knights of God who were born as Celestial Dragons still did not feel the slightest bit of tension.

The Ancient Saint Green at the top did not show any dissatisfaction. Everyone present was the elite of the Celestial Dragons and compatriots recognized by the Ancient Saint Green. Naturally, they did not need to abide by those meaningless red tape.

"Prepare for battle. Send out the God's army first and notify the Five Elders to prepare the Holy Mother Flame!"

Ancient Saint Green gave the order directly, as if cutting the Gordian knot. As the supreme commander of the Knights of God, Ancient Saint Green possessed power second only to the Five Elders, and to some extent, was even on par with the Five Elders.

However, as the strongest among the Celestial Dragons, Ancient Saint Green is not interested in worldly power, and does not want to come into contact with the untouchables who are no different from garbage in his eyes, so he seldom issues orders directly without going through the Five Elders.

"Hahaha! That's awesome! I love the Holy Mother of Fire!"

A knight of God grinned and shouted excitedly. He particularly liked to see an island or even a country being instantly reduced to ashes under the attack of the Holy Mother's Flame. It had a sense of beauty of the destruction of all things.

Unfortunately, the Five Elders who wield the Holy Mother Flame rarely use this secret weapon. Apart from wiping out several islands when testing its power, there has been no record of the Holy Mother Flame in actual combat until now.

"This is not a good idea, Ancient Saint Green. After all, the battlefield is in Mary Geoise. The power of the Holy Mother's Flame might affect Pangu City..."

The one who started to advise was the adjutant sitting on the left of Ancient Saint Green, a Celestial Dragon Saint Westbrook who had his hair styled like a hammer.

Ancient Saint Green always acts arbitrarily and independently, and even the Knights of God recognized by him must obey his orders.

The only exceptions are the two lieutenants who have followed Ancient Saint Green for many years. Not only do they have noble births comparable to Ancient Saint Green, but they have also proven themselves with their strength and achievements.

Especially the female adjutant Charlotte Palace who sat on the right hand side of Ancient Saint Green. Although she looked like a serious old woman on the surface, Charlotte Palace, like Ancient Saint Green, had once given up the opportunity to become one of the Five Elders and chose to stay in the Knights of God.

"The Celestial Dragons have been evacuated to a safe area. It doesn't matter if Pangu City is destroyed. What's important is to completely eliminate those daring pirates!"

Charlotte Palace retorted without hesitation that as long as the Celestial Dragons remained the masters of the World Government, even ten or a hundred Pangu cities could be rebuilt.

But if these despicable pirates invaded, even if they wiped out most of them in the end, as long as there was one pirate left alive, it would be a great blasphemy to the Celestial Dragons, who were descendants of God!
"No need to say more. We are the ones who carry out the will of the Creator. It is the mission of the Knights of God to protect the glory of the Celestial Dragons and punish the daring criminals! Anything else is for the Five Elders to consider!"

Ancient Saint Green spoke very calmly. Of course, he would only use this tone, which was not entirely a command, in front of the Knights of God and their two lieutenants.

Otherwise, even when facing the Five Elders, Ancient Saint Green would only maintain basic respect. After all, to him, the Five Elders were glorious, but they were also positions he had given up.

If he or Charlotte Palace is willing to compete, at least two seats of the Five Elders will have to be filled by new people.

However, compared to the Five Elders who are responsible for ruling the world, the Knights of God who protect the glory of the Celestial Dragons are more in line with the preferences of Ancient Saint Green.

"Yes! Ancient Saint Green!"

When Ancient Saint Green made the final decision, the two lieutenants would no longer have any objections.

As Charlotte Palace said, the worst result is that Pangu City is destroyed, which is not as important as the majesty of the Ancient Saint Green. Realizing this, Saint Westbrook will naturally not object. "Hehe, I can finally make a big fuss. I can't wait. I hope I can meet enough interesting prey this time..."

The young Knight of God smiled with delight, and the fingers of his hands trembled rapidly unconsciously.

Compared to slaves who dare not resist being slaughtered and will only try to escape when they are about to die, prey who will fight to the death are of course more fun.

Especially those animal-type devil fruit users who have strong vitality and will continue to struggle even if their limbs are cut off are the "toys" he dreams of.

The only pity is that he has not been able to find someone who has awakened the ability of the Animal-type Devil Fruit. When he heard that there were three of them in Impel Down, he was happy for a while, but when he ran over excitedly, he found out that they were three fools.

Saint Baldora enjoys the painful struggle of his prey as it moves toward death, especially the will to do anything to survive when it is on the verge of death.

At this time, Saint Baldora will give the prey a little hope of survival, and then destroy it when the prey is about to grasp this hope.

The moment when the prey sinks into the abyss of despair is the most exciting moment for Saint Baldora.

"You are really evil, Saint Baldora..."

Sitting opposite Saint Baldora was a Knight of God dressed as an old ascetic. Due to their conflicting ideologies, the two Knights of God often had conflicts.

"Tsk, I just don't want to be told that by you, Saint Jerolit! You've killed hundreds or even thousands of times more untouchables than I have!"

Saint Baldora accused with great dissatisfaction. He had long been fed up with Saint Jerolit's style of killing everyone without sparing any life, regardless of gender, age, wealth or status, as long as he was in the mood.

Many high-quality prey were killed by Saint Jerolit in this way. Among them was even a female slave that Saint Baldora had taken a fancy to and was planning to play with a few more times before killing her. However, she was killed by Saint Jerolit.

Saint Baldora was so angry that he slaughtered all the sacrifices that Saint Jerolit had prepared for overnight. The two Knights of God almost came to blows over it.

In the end, it was the ancient Saint Green who stepped in and compensated Saint Baldora with a hundred high-quality female slaves. He also arranged for Saint Gerolith to have a country wiped off the map before the matter was resolved.

"All living things suffer. The untouchables have been enduring endless suffering since birth. It is a good thing that you grant them liberation, but why do you have to let them suffer again before liberation?"

Saint Gerolith sighed with some regret, in fact, the one he was most optimistic about in the Knights of God was Saint Baldora.

Compared to his colleagues who are immersed in boring worldly desires, Saint Baldora is the only knight of God who is suitable to inherit his will and help the untouchables escape from suffering.

But Saint Baldora’s character is too bad. It is obviously a good thing to help the untouchables get relief, but he insists on adding unnecessary details. If he has the time to torture people, wouldn’t it be better to help a few more untouchables get out of their suffering?
"Tsk, what do the lives of the untouchables have to do with me? Stop meddling in other people's business! Saint Jerolit!"

Saint Baldora couldn't help but curse. All the people he had killed were not even a fraction of those who died at the hands of Saint Gerolith.

This guy is a well-deserved mass murderer in the Knights of God. He has caused more than twenty large-scale massacres by himself, and has also deliberately caused wars and various natural and man-made disasters through indirect means.

It once caused a country with a population of over ten million to fall into a civil war that lasted for more than ten years. Every time the civil war showed signs of abating, Saint Jerolit would secretly take action to reignite the conflicts between the various forces, and even personally take action to kill the leaders of the forces who tried to quell the war.

By the time all the forces had fought to exhaustion and could no longer fight no matter how Saint Jerolit instigated them, the country that once had a population of tens of millions now had less than two million people left, with only a few hundred thousand adult males, and there was no one over the age of fifty in the entire country.

"You have to have this mentality. You have done a great job, Saint Baldora. The lives of the untouchables have nothing to do with us. Only with this mentality can you consistently grant them liberation."

However, what Saint Baldora did not expect was that after hearing his words, Saint Jerolit showed a gratified expression, as if he was feeling that his career finally had a successor.

"Well, Saint Gerolit, Saint Baldora is still young, and you still have a lot of time to convince him to accept your ideas, but not now."

Before Baldora could get angry, Ancient Saint Green had already noticed the conflict between his two subordinates.

Unless he encounters the 'scum' among the Celestial Dragons, Ancient Saint Green has a very high tolerance for his compatriots.

Especially when conflicts arise between the Celestial Dragons, Ancient Saint Green is even willing to sacrifice his own interests in exchange for mutual compromise among his compatriots.

Even Saint Gerolith, a weirdo among weirdos, was convinced by Saint Green.

"Who would accept such a crazy idea?"

Saint Baldora complained unhappily that there were many people in the Knights of God who were more cruel and inhumane than him, and he didn't know why Saint Jerolit chose him.

At first, Saint Baldora thought that his senior had high hopes for him, and he was secretly happy for a while.

As a result, the prey he had set his eyes on were killed by Saint Jerolit several times, and Saint Baldora kept pestering him, saying that all living things suffer, and advised him not to waste time looking for fun, but to think more about how to help more untouchables get relief. Saint Baldora was not happy with this.

He joined the Knights of God not to be a laborer, and the so-called liberation of the untouchables was nothing but Saint Gerolith's wishful thinking. Those untouchables whose heads he chopped off would not think that this was liberation!
And although Saint Geralt would leave no one alive most of the time, mistakes were inevitable after a long time. A user with the ability of the Transparent Fruit witnessed Saint Geralt slaughtering thousands of civilians in a small town and made it all public.

Even though the World Government sealed the matter in time, in order to avoid worse situations in the future, it still imposed certain restrictions on Saint Gerolith.

From now on, when Saint Jerolit wants to have fun, there must be another Knight of God supervising the whole process to prevent similar problems from happening again.

Perhaps to others such restrictions may seem like a joke, but to the Celestial Dragons who claim to be descendants of the Creator, and to the elite Knights of God, it is a great shame.

Saint Baldora was not willing to receive the same treatment as Saint Gerolith. It was too strange to be stared at by his companions while he was having fun.
