The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1560 445: The Sword Saint's Resolve (5)

Of course, this Sword Saint is not short at all, standing two meters tall with shoulders broad like a door.

In short, telling the Luo De people that Saint Sis has a child is as absurd as telling a goblin that the Demon God is actually an Enchanting Demon.

"This... there are many stories behind it, perhaps you can ask the Holy Daughter yourself, she would be happy to answer your confusion." Rayden did not know how to explain this story, so he simply passed the trouble to the Holy Daughter who claimed to have seen the Divine Son.

Anyway, she has a special talent for speaking after hearing the Oracle, always able to articulate some grand principles that even leave him stunned.

However, surprisingly to Rayden, Gunter merely smiled after seeing his awkwardness, not getting impatient like most Luo De people, nor did he delve deeply into the matter.

"You misunderstood, Mr. Rayden, although I am indeed a devout believer, I do not intend to correct anything for the Church. As for the Holy Daughter, I do plan to see her this time, but not to discuss theology and doctrines, rather to discuss more pragmatic issues."

Rayden breathed a sigh of relief internally, his face regaining a cheerful smile, and continued speaking.

"That's just perfect, the Holy Daughter also wants to meet you, I can lead the way for you... However, may I ask what the pragmatic issue you mentioned is, purely out of personal curiosity?"

Gunter did not conceal his intentions, speaking straightforwardly.

"I want to persuade her to send troops to Griffin Territory."

The air subtly quieted, and it seemed only the sound of wind remained around, along with the snorts of horses.

Rayden was taken aback, clearly not expecting this Imperial Sword Saint to say such words.

After a long silence, he spoke.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

"The reason is as you can see before you," Gunter glanced around and directed his gaze further afield, "Even though the King here has already abandoned this place, we cannot let Chaos continue to spread through corruption."

He did not interrogate yesterday's captives personally, but learned of the horrific situation at Griffin Castle from soldiers who did... that place right now is simply a hell on earth.

Ah Ka did not capture a living sacrifice, instead hanging desecrated bodies on the city walls, as a humiliation to the Human Clan's faith and glory, and a delight to Chaos...

Undoubtedly, that is the altar of Chaos, one of the sources of the Green Forest Army's strength.

Since he knew of its existence, he had to remove it, and let those "heroes who fought to the last moment for the fate of the Human Clan" rest in peace.

If it were before, he would have gone alone, but now he has better options--

He can also bring the order of this place along!

Thus he could prevent new chaos from emerging quickly after he leaves.

And most importantly, this Salvation Army is fighting under the banner of Saint Sis.

In this way, it does not violate his vow.

Rayden looked at the man before him in surprise, his expression of bewilderment gradually turning into admiration.

He remembered long ago hearing from a certain minstrel about Gunter's story.

That was not his first legendary tale, but definitely the most thrilling one, otherwise it would not have been turned into songs by poets and passed down.

The Swordmaster, as solid as a rock, to kill the Evil Dragon ravaging Altaic City, vowed with his Great Sword, exchanging for a miraculous power comparable to that of legends!

As the price for exchanging a divine miracle, he had to promise never to use his sword to destroy the Imperial law, never to harm devout citizens with his sword, never to spare any Evil Spirit tempted by Chaos.

Three commandments were engraved on his sword, accompanying him in forging numerous legends without serving any Lord.

Since then he ended his mercenary career, never fighting for any Lord, living a humble and poverty-stricken life, only appearing as a Great Swordsman when the Human Clan needed him most.

Until he became a true legend under the name of Sword Saint...

The truth of the matter could be far more complex than the minstrels' stories, Rayden did not know where Altaic City was, nor had he seen a real Giant Dragon.

But this Sword Saint did indeed, as the legend said, upheld the three commandments since then, never pledging allegiance to any worldly King, only fighting for those who look up to him.

Although fighting alongside the Salvation Army does not violate his vow, as the Salvation Army is not a Lord within the Imperial law, and their opponents are not Imperial subjects, there indeed exists a suspicion of interfering with the Kingdom's domestic affairs.

In other words--

He is willing to take risks for the people here, even though he does not necessarily have to bear these!

Realizing this, Rayden's gaze showed not only admiration, but also a touch of reverence.

He spoke with an unprecedented solemn tone.

"... I will take you to see our Highness, I believe her kindness will surely stand with you!"
