The beginning of the king guards the Great Wall

Chapter 269 Fallen Holy Knights, Arthur Appears
The Sunset Temple is located in the west of the Sunset Sea. It is a holy place in the hearts of all Western humans, and it is roughly equivalent to the status of the Great Leiyin Temple in the hearts of Buddhist believers.

For a long time, paladins who advocate valor, honor and virtue have guarded the Temple of Sunset.They hold a martial arts tournament every year, and it has become a big event.People compete in martial arts during the day, drink and have fun at night, and celebrate the harvest.The final victor will join the Holy Knights and become one of them.

However, as the war between the empire and the alliance continued for many years, the heroic paladins sacrificed one after another, the power of the paladins gradually declined, and then fell into quarrels and divisions.

On this day, with the determination to protect the temple, the young man traveled across mountains and rivers to the Sunset Temple.

"Excuse me, are you a Holy Knight Order?"

Arthur has golden hair like the morning sun, and he looks energetic and energetic.

Especially when he saw the Paladins, his eyes almost radiated excitement.

"That's right, we are the noble Holy Knights."

The middle-aged obese man glanced at Arthur, seeing that he was wearing tattered armor, and his saber was even worthless and inferior, with deep disdain in his eyes.

The noble Holy Knight Order, the former Holy Knight Order was indeed extremely noble, but now, it exists only in name only.

It also allowed him to act in front of a hot-blooded young man with no social experience like Arthur.

"Great, respected seniors of the Paladins, please allow me to join you." Arthur looked excited, and said his dream all along.

"Join the Holy Knight Order?"

The middle-aged man looked at the stupid Arthur with malicious eyes: "You know, our Paladins never accept people casually, you have to show your sincerity."

"I see."

Arthur nodded vigorously, and the obedient middle-aged man smiled, but in the next second, his smile slowly froze.

I saw Arthur pull out his sword and stand in front of his eyes, and swear to the blade: "I, Arthur, swear to protect the dignity of the temple and the peace of the human world with my life!"

After swearing, he looked at the middle-aged man: "Senior, this can show my sincerity."

The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, and his face turned gloomy. He said coldly, "Boy, are you kidding me?"

"How come, I swear sincerely." Arthur didn't understand why he said that.

The middle-aged man stared at Arthur for a while, rubbing his fingers at him: "I'm talking about sincerity, understand?"

"You mean...money?"

"Of course, without money, who will let you join the Holy Knight Order!"

"oh oh."

Arthur nodded numbly, feeling that he understood, and feeling even more confused.

To join the Holy Knight Order, don't you just need to be loyal? When will you need money?

The middle-aged man saw him standing still, and said coldly, "Do you have any money? If not, get out!"

Arthur has no money.

But it wasn't a matter of having money, it was that he felt his faith had collapsed.

Templars, such a sacred profession, are they also polluted by the stench of copper?
Or is it only the knight in front of him?

At this time, another Templar came over, the armor on his body looked more noble than this one.

"Heim, what's the situation with this kid?"

The new knight said to the middle-aged man with a serious tone, as if the senior was educating the younger.

"Captain, this person wants to join our Knights Templar." Heim said.

"Good thing, our group hasn't had a newcomer for a long time."

The leader of the Knights smiled and looked at Arthur, "Boy, how many offerings did you bring?"

"worship?"

"It's money. It's an old rule. You have to pay offerings to join the regiment. The more you pay, the higher your position. If you can take out ten taels of gold, the position of deputy regiment leader will be yours. When I retire, you will be the official Commander." The Knight Commander said with a smile.

After listening to the captain's words, Arthur was completely stunned, motionless.

The Holy Knight Order I yearn for the most has turned into such an unsightly appearance!
After a while, Arthur's eyes widened, and he scolded loudly: "It is because of people like you that the Holy Knight Order will decline more and more. You are sinners!"

The smile on the knight leader's face suddenly froze, and his eyes became indifferent: "You boy is here to make trouble, get out of here, my knight order doesn't welcome you!"

"What about your Knights, this is the Sunset Temple for the loyal ones, you should be the ones to get out!" Arthur roared at the top of his voice, the veins on his forehead popped out of anger.

"Loyalty? Huh."

The head of the Knights sneered, clapped his hands, and all the Templars came over.

"Templars, who do you think should get out of here?"

The Templars looked at Arthur with playful eyes, as if they were watching a monkey with a naked butt.

They mocked:
"Of course it's him. He even said loyalty. It sounds like the mantra of my grandfather's generation."

"It's ridiculous, who cares about the temple now, who is not a Templar for making money?"

"Following the head of the group, we rely on dividing up the newcomers to worship, and we can drop a lot of gold and silver every year. If he joins in and smashes the pot, wouldn't everyone get to eat?"

Knights Templar, you satirize Arthur's innocence and stupidity with every sentence.

After hearing these words, Arthur gritted his teeth in hatred.

This is the Knights Templar, an organization created to protect the temple and protect mankind, and it has become like this now!
Humanity, filthy humanity!
Arthur was furious, pointed at them, and said loudly: "You people are not worthy of being Templars. One day, I will drive you all out of the Temple, and let the Templars return to what they were before!"

"Mind your own business, I think you want to die!"

The head of the knight group sneered, "Brothers, this guy wants to destroy our jobs, beat him up!"

Dozens of templar knights in battle armor surrounded Arthur like wolves, tigers and leopards.

Punches and kicks fell on Arthur non-stop.

Hundreds of years ago, the swords of the Templars would only point at the enemy, but now, their fists and feet fell on a hot-blooded young man without reservation.

What a ridiculous scene.

Arthur held his head, his body shrunk into a ball, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The physical pain did not make him beg for mercy, but it strengthened his heart even more.

"The Knights Templar is wrong, I want to become strong and change the world!"

"I, Arthur, swear to the sword, swear to the temple, I must create a clean Templar!"
