You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Got it!" Xiao Yao shouted.

"Benevolence, righteousness, and honesty are my armor, and the holy way is my sword." Xiao Yao heard Yu Bo singing at the top of his voice.

"Faith is my strong shield that can protect me from the devil's arrows." Yu Luying's heavenly voice also joined in the chorus.

The girl's voice was like a ray of morning sunshine, soft and warm, gentle but powerful, like a holy force that poured straight into Xiao Yao's heart.

The tank made a loud noise, and the black hole-like muzzle violently ejected a ball of fire towards Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao was quick-witted and jumped up, using the reaction force of the tank muzzle to successfully avoid the attack.

Then, he swung his sword and slashed at the tank's tracks. However, the surface of the tracks was extremely hard, and Xiao Yao's sword bounced back, so he had to dodge flexibly.

"It's useless to hit the tracks!" Yu Bo shouted to Xiao Yao.

"Then where should we hit?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously.

"I don't know. Seventy years ago, the only way to deal with this situation was to open the top cover and throw grenades in."

"Hand grenades, do you have any? The kind that sings Hallelujah?"

"of course not."

"We are the guards of the great king..." The girl's voice still echoed above the playground. Her voice was clear and moving, and every note was so accurate.

The tank then quickly pounced on Xiao Yao, its tracks turning forward violently and accelerating forward, as if it wanted to run over Xiao Yao's body.

"We are the companions of the Savior..."

Xiao Yao jumped away quickly to avoid the tank's attack. He realized that as Yu Luying continued to sing, his strength and speed were gradually increasing. But the tank was very fast and soon caught up with him, launching a wave of fierce artillery fire at Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao looked solemn and tried his best to dodge before the tank launched an attack.

The boy was panting, he knew that his physical strength was about to fail.

"We are the crusaders of the Holy Church..."

Yu Luying's singing restored some of Xiao Yao's strength. Xiao Yao realized that he had to seize the time to find and attack the tank's weak points.

"We are the guards of the Holy Body..."

Song Haijian seemed to have finally realized who should be the priority target.

The tank's gun barrel slowly turned and moved towards the girl who was singing loudly.

"Silly girl, be careful!" Shen Jie shouted anxiously.

Xiao Yao seized the opportunity and slashed hard at the tank's road wheels.

This time, he finally succeeded.

The long sword hit a road wheel on the tank, making a sharp metal collision sound. The tank lost its balance and tilted unsteadily to one side. Xiao Yao seized the opportunity and swung the long sword again, destroying another road wheel on the same side of the tank.

The tank's turret began to have difficulty turning due to the imbalance of the vehicle body.

But it still fired a shell.

This time, Xiao Yao didn't have time to dodge.

He raised his shield, though he had no idea if it would do any good.

Listening to the sound of the shells whistling, Xiao Yao closed his eyes.

However, the shell did not hit him.

Xiao Yao opened his eyes and saw a huge ice barrier blocking his way, which was then shattered by a cannonball.

Yu Luying also collapsed on the playground due to exhaustion.

At the same time, Xiao Yao saw a petite girl in a junior high school uniform and sandals who finally climbed up the commander's tower as agilely as a monkey, broke an observation window, and jumped into the tank.

Xiao Yao and Yu Bo helped the weak Yu Luying up, and the three of them were surprised to find that the tank was completely motionless.

Climbing onto a completely immobile tank was strenuous, but not particularly difficult. The three of them supported, lifted, pushed and pulled each other into the tank.

The inside of this thing still looks like the "Great Monastery Corridor" and has not turned into anything else.

"Shen Jie! Shen Jie! Where have you been?" Xiao Yao shouted anxiously as he walked.

The three of them found a tall and stately double door.

He pushed forward with both hands, pushing the heavy door open to both sides, and then he found that he was only half right.

Xiao Yao originally thought that this would be a high and mighty throne room, or some kind of Hades palace filled with all kinds of horrific torture instruments, or perhaps the combat command room of some warmongerer, but what came into view was more like an oversized ammunition depot.

There is an aisle in the middle, with rows of tall shelves on both sides, on which long shells are neatly placed. However, the nameplates on the sides of the shelves do not indicate the model of the ammunition, but rather information about subjects such as mathematics, Chinese, physics, and chemistry, question types, test points, test years, question ideas, etc. The content covers the college entrance examination syllabuses, original test papers, mock test papers, and even backup test papers for all subjects in all provinces and cities across the country over the years.

"This is simply the arsenal of the college entrance examination!" Xiao Yao was stunned.

Yu Bo thought thoughtfully: "Perhaps in Mr. Song's eyes, the college entrance examination is really a life-and-death battle."

“But in the end, war only brings destruction and death to the participants,” Yu Luying commented.

The three of them walked through this "College Entrance Examination Arsenal". Deep in the "Arsenal" there was a small door that was half-open.

Xiao Yao exchanged glances with Yu Bo and Yu Luying, and carefully pushed open the small door.

What came into view was the back of a young girl, wearing a junior high school uniform, black shorts, barefoot sandals, and not moving at all.

"Wife!" Xiao Yao was delighted: "Are you okay?"

Yu Luying curled her lips imperceptibly.

Shen Jie still didn't move. Xiao Yao walked forward hesitantly, stretched out his hand wearing an armor glove, and placed his hand on Shen Jie's shoulder.

……

Xiao Yao's heart tightened and he turned Shen Jie's face towards him with some fear.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Jie's face was clear and there was no sign of injury, just a little panic.

"What are you doing--"

Only then did Xiao Yao see clearly that there was a person lying on the open ground in front of him, barefoot, wearing a white robe, and with a halo. If it wasn't Song Haijian, then who else could it be?

Song Haijian was lying on the ground, motionless, with a dagger with a handle inlaid with a pale yellow gem stuck in his back.

Xiao Yao sighed - it finally came to this.

In this situation, there is no way to blame anyone.

"It's not me!" Shen Jie saw what Xiao Yao was thinking and stamped her feet, saying, "When I came, he was already dead."

"Be careful, the assassin may still be nearby!" Yu Bo stopped Xiao Yao who was about to go forward to check.

"Be careful of Teacher Song's cheating." Yu Luying warned.

"It's possible," Xiao Yao stopped and said, "I'm afraid this guy is pretending to be dead. However, if there really is an assassin, he may not be an enemy. Besides, Shen Jie has been standing here for a long time and nothing has happened—"

"Yes, we are certainly not your enemies." A lazy male voice came from behind Xiao Yao, which made Xiao Yao's hair stand on end. He instinctively drew his sword and turned around, but the tip of his sword collided with Yu Luying's axe and the barrel of the priest's gun.

The owner of the lazy male voice was squatting on the beam.

The man was of medium build, wearing loose and thin white clothes and pants, a white hood, and a blue cape with gold plaid, looking mysterious. His trouser legs were pulled high, and he wore a pair of desert boots. He carried a crossbow on his back and a beautifully decorated scimitar on his waist. Judging from the decorative style of the knife, it was from the same series as the dagger that stabbed Teacher Song in the back.

"Who are you? Are you a human or a shadow? How did you get in?" Xiao Yao asked a series of questions.

He wanted to ask, "Why did you kill him?" Then he changed his mind and asked, "You saved us?"

The man declared in an exaggerated voice: "Welcome everyone to witness the first great victory of me, the messenger of justice, Earl Nottingham." At the same time, he posed for reporters to take pictures.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Yu Bo asked sternly.

"Didn't I tell you that I am the messenger of justice, the Earl of Nottingham? I just did what ordinary adventurers want to do but can't do. I defeated the evil conspirators, safeguarded future peace and tranquility, and composed a great heroic epic. Should there be applause here?"

"Do you know the consequences of killing someone?" Yu Bo looked up and asked.

"I know. He will become a big fool and live a happy life from now on. As a villain, it's already a good ending - it's much better than killing someone, being retaliated against, and dying on the street in the future."

"How do you know all this? Who are you?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Since you asked sincerely, we will be merciful and tell you. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed and to protect world peace--" Earl Nottingham recited in a staccato voice.

"Don't be an idiot, Nottingham." A cold female voice came from outside the door: "It's done, we should go."

Everyone looked in the direction of the "Arsenal" and saw a woman standing at the door - this woman was slender and tall, wearing a very elegant black silk scarf, her whole body was tightly wrapped in a dark blue leather bodysuit, she wore white gloves and metal knuckles on her hands, and her shoulder and knee pads were equipped with iron nails.

The reason why she is called a "woman" is mainly because of her voice, which sounds quite young. Her body shape also looks more like a woman, and she wears a motorcycle helmet on her head, and her face is completely invisible.

But what surprised Xiao Yao was that the chest of the man in helmet and leather jacket was completely flat, completely and totally flat, flatter than the horizon and flatter than himself.

This made him start to doubt the other person's gender - if there was one.

"Yes, Ms. Joan." Nottington bowed gently to the "Joan".

Next to the woman called "Joan" was a motorcycle with an exaggerated shape. The motorcycle was silver-white, and although it had the shape of a racing motorcycle, it was several sizes larger than a cruiser motorcycle and had wide and thick wheels. There were no lights on the whole motorcycle. Instead, there was a human face statue behind the dark blue fairing, just like the figurehead decorated on a warship. The sharp metal structure extending from the bottom of the fairing was integrated with the front wheel mudplate, forming a hidden "spur".

Although they were in an irrational world, Xiao Yao couldn't help but wonder how she could drive such a big motorcycle in without making any sound.

"Well, see you later." Nottington bowed, and a window on the wall of the room opened. A long rope hook shot out from the "earl's" glove and nailed directly to something outside. Then he jumped off the beam and "flew" out of the window.

Joan also got on her motorcycle, nodded to a few people, pressed the clutch, and emitted a turbocharged roar.

"Stop him!" Yu Bo patted Xiao Yao's arm.

Xiao Yao was not sure whether he should be an enemy of "Earl of Nottington" and "Joan", but he had no time to think about it and could only follow the priest's instructions first.

Just as Lord Nottington was about to fly out of the window, a shield flew over at a very tricky angle, blocking the exit and pressing the rope against the window frame.

"Shit," said Lord Nottington.

On the other side, Yu Bo took the lead and rushed towards Qiong An who was about to drive, while Yu Luying raised her hands and tied the two wheels of the motorcycle with several ice chains.

"Well, see you later." Nottington bowed, and a window on the wall of the room opened. A long rope hook shot out from the "earl's" glove and nailed directly to something outside. Then he jumped off the beam and "flew" out of the window.

"Stop him!" Yu Bo patted Xiao Yao's arm.

Xiao Yao was not sure whether he should be an enemy of "Earl Nottington", but he had no time to think about it and could only follow the priest's instructions first.

Just as Lord Nottington was about to fly out of the window, a shield flew over at a very tricky angle, blocking the exit and pressing the rope against the top of the window frame.

"Shit," said Lord Nottington.

He swung on the rope, raised his feet and used inertia to kick the shield blocking the window, causing it to tilt outwards. Seeing that it worked, the count used the force to swing back to a higher point, curled up again, raised his feet, and aimed at the shield.

"He's going to run away!" Father Yu warned loudly, and raised his gun to aim at the count, but the gun was knocked off track by the long whip swung by Joan.

Xiao Yao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He took advantage of the moment when "The Count" swung to the lowest point, leaped hard, and grabbed his belt.

Then, the two of them crashed out of the window together.

Outside the window is the corridor of the "monastery".

Xiao Yao fell heavily to the ground, but the "Count" turned over lightly, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, cut the rope, and chopped towards Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao wanted to draw his sword, but his hand was empty. The sword seemed to have fallen somewhere when it fell.

The knife seemed fierce, but it did not hit Xiao Yao's crown, but hit his shoulder instead.

Xiao Yao's sword missed and he had to dodge to the side with all his strength. The scimitar scratched his shoulder armor, bringing out sparks and leaving a mark.

"Get out of the way!" Lord Nottington whispered, "I thought we were friends."

"If we're friends, why don't you stay for tea and chat?" Xiao Yao had no weapon left, so he could only clench his fists to meet the enemy.

He stepped forward and threw a left jab, launching a tentative attack on Earl Nottingham.

When the "Count" dodged, Xiao Yao swung his right fist to avoid the real attack. But the "Count"'s scimitar went straight to Xiao Yao's right arm. Xiao Yao did not dare to neglect it, so he had to retract his fist and adjust his posture, using the arc of his armor to block the attack.

The "Count's" scimitar once again drew half-moons and attacked Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao could only rely on the armor on his shoulders and arms to protect his head and neck and resist the violent attack of Earl Nottingham.

Amid the clanging sounds, Xiao Yao felt a little overwhelmed.

He knew he had to act quickly or he would be unable to defend himself against Lord Nottingham's attack.

Once when he lowered his head to resist, he saw his waist.

When another knife attack came, Xiao Yao quickly drew out the scabbard with his backhand, and faced the Earl of Nottingham's scimitar with both hands.

The two collided in the air, making a harsh metallic sound.

Although Earl Nottington was very strong, he was still not as strong as Xiao Yao. His scimitar was lifted high up. Xiao Yao seized this opportunity and punched the "earl" directly in the ribs.

The Count was forced to retreat.

He seemed to realize that his strength was inferior to Xiao Yao's, and he was not wearing any armor, so he would be at a disadvantage in a head-on fight with Xiao Yao. So he gave up fighting Xiao Yao head-on and used his agile body movements again.
