Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 67: Kind-hearted and soft-hearted
Killing the Holy Society of Repentance is equivalent to entering the enemy's lair, and we will definitely face numerous crises.

However, in Li Nanke's dictionary, there are only two words: risk and return. He has never known what fear and timidity are.

As for the great knight Renault in front of him, it was obvious that he was an expert among experts just by watching him train with swords. Not to mention his impressive record of fighting his way into the underground of the Holy Society and being captured only after being exhausted.

Renault invited him to join the Holy Meeting. His identity as a mourner was only a small part of the reason. If Li Nanke had not killed the elite 'Corruption Bell Ringer' and taken out the Bloody Thorn to demonstrate his own strength, this hidden node would probably not have been triggered at all.

Facing the invitation from the Great Knight Renault, Li Nanke smiled and said, "It is my honor to fight alongside you."

Renault stood up, his eyes burning.

Such a desperate act of charging into the Holy Society of Repentance was a complete disregard for life and death. Li Nanke had no relationship with him, but he agreed without even a frown just because they shared the same belief. I dare to ask who else could do it.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Edel, that shameful coward, not only did not support me, but he refuted and stopped me, and lived in peace with his daughter."

He patted Li Nanke on the shoulder and swore solemnly: "Edward the Miserable, from now on, you will be my comrade-in-arms who will share life and death with me."

Then, Renault told Li Nanke all the intelligence he knew about the Punishment Army and the Holy Society. Although he had left the Punishment Army for many years, as a former chief instructor of the legion, he still had some secret sources of information.

Three days later, the Punishment Army will massacre Soros Village. Except for the Lickers Relief Society, all the villagers infected with the plague will fall under the butcher knife of the Punishment Army.

"Edward, get a good night's rest. We'll leave tomorrow."

In this deformed dream world, there is no distinction between day and night. The sun never sets, and it seems that time is frozen in eternal dusk.

People living here can only tell whether it is daytime or night by using ancient methods such as hourglasses and water drops.

Li Nanke's eyes flickered: "No, Mr. Renault, we will set out in three days, while the Punishment Army is in action."

Renault was stunned. What Li Nanke meant was that the blockade outside the village was too tight now. Breaking the blockade at this time would likely attract a large number of punitive troops to attack.

It would be better to take advantage of the chaos and quietly leave when the Punishment Army launches a large-scale attack, so that it won't take much effort.

He nodded after careful consideration. Li Nanke's suggestion was very pertinent. He had waited for so many years to help Anya get rid of her, so three days would not make a difference.

During the next three days, Li Nanke was not idle. He began to train himself with the help of Renault's powerful strength.

Renault is very powerful, and his swordsmanship is also superb. As the former chief instructor of the Punishment Army, he knows very well how to train and teach various combat skills.

Li Nanke's own fighting skills are extremely proficient, and after Renault's advice and unreserved teaching, he feels that his skills have been mastered.

Renault even planned to teach him some battle prayers, the most basic of which was the "Breath of Fire" move that ignited fire on the sword.

This battle prayer is not only powerful and practical, but can also use the flames and waves of fire created by the sword to block the opponent's vision and hide the deadly intent of the next move.

However, prayers are orthodox supernatural powers that cannot be learned in a day or two. Moreover, it is not known whether this main quality that is not a node reward can be understood through teaching and learning beyond the limitations of the other side.

Three days passed in a flash. Li Nanke felt that he had made great progress and was reluctant to leave so soon.

During this period, Robert came to see him many times, but Li Nanke sent him away with just a few words, telling him that he could save his life as long as he stayed in the relief organization.

The main reason is that Robert is not very strong and has no special skills, so Li Nanke has no intention of bringing him along as a burden.

……

The forest is covered with lush vegetation, and the setting sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

Amid the melodious and desolate sound of horns, the fully armed soldiers of the Punishment Army marched along the road towards the direction of Soros Village.

They didn't notice that there were two figures lurking in the dense forest.

At this time, Renault was wearing light armor, and the two-handed sword on his back had changed from a training sword to a sharp sword with a wolf-head-shaped hilt. After the punitive soldiers left, the two of them moved forward quickly along the road, and soon encountered a small number of patrolling soldiers with a loose team.

The two men cooperated closely and quickly dealt with the enemy. Li Nanke stripped off the armor of the Punishment Army and put it on, and also threw a set to Raymond. The enemy's bodies were thrown into the dense forest bushes.

The two disguised themselves as punitive troops and gradually broke through and infiltrated layer after layer of blockades.

"Mr. Renault, let's go in this direction."

There were many soldiers guarding one side of the fork in the road ahead, leading to the command camp behind the Punishment Army, while there were only a smaller patrol team on the other side.

But Li Nanke pointed to the road leading to the Punishment Army Command Camp.

Renault couldn't help but frowned and said, "Edward, what are you going to do?"

Li Nanke thought to himself that of course he had to complete the second node.

The reason why he chose to set out on the third day when the Punishment Army attacked was because the Punishment Army would mobilize a large number of troops to encircle the village, leaving the rear command camp empty.

A battle of this scale would actually be a massacre. There was no need for the commander of the Punishment Army to go out in person. There was a high probability that the commander would still be staying in the camp.

Therefore, this is the best time to kill!

Li Nanke said solemnly: "Everything I do is for your goal and for our common will. Mr. Renault, do you believe me?"

"You are willing to go to the holy meeting with me, which is equivalent to entrusting your life to me. How can I not believe you?"

"Well, Mr. Renault, let's go kill the commander of the Punishment Army."

Renault grabbed him as he was about to move forward and shouted in a low voice: "Don't do anything stupid. Is the commander of the Punishment Army so easy to deal with? Don't you see how many soldiers are in the camp?"

Li Nanke turned around and asked, "Why, Renault, are you scared?"

"Afraid? If I were afraid, I wouldn't have thought of attacking the Holy Society. I don't want you to make meaningless moves that would deplete our strength."

Li Nanke looked at the road guarded by many soldiers and said coldly, "A meaningless move? Then let me ask you, if we kill the leader of the Punishment Army, how will the Holy Society of Repentance and the Holy King react?"

Raynor said without hesitation: "The commander of the Punishment Army came here under the order of the Holy Council. If the commander is assassinated, it will be regarded as a provocation to the Holy King and a blasphemy against the majesty of the Holy Council. No one has dared to do this for a long time."

"No matter who did it, the Holy King will vent his anger on Soros Village, and in order to show his authority, he will send more punitive troops to completely destroy the entire village."

"Not only the villagers who are infected, but also the normal villagers...even the Licker Relief Association and the neighboring villages are likely to be affected."

Li Nanke nodded and said, "Yes, this is the effect I want."

"For every additional punitive soldier the Holy King sends, we will face fewer obstacles in reaching the Holy Meeting!"

He turned his head, looked directly into Renault's eyes and said, "I will not do anything meaningless. I have said that everything I do is for your goal, to achieve our common will... All you need to do is trust me completely."

Renault seemed to be stabbed by that cold gaze. He lowered his head slightly, and the shadow of his hair on his forehead covered his face, making it difficult to see his expression: "Even if the price is the entire Soros Village?"

Li Nanke sneered and strode forward, a chainsaw sword wrapped in thorns appearing in his hand.

"The source of all evil and sin is the Holy Congregation of Repentance. Eradicating the source will save countless Soros villages."

"If you are merciful, why not turn back now and save those infected villagers who are being slaughtered?"

"Once we arrive at the Holy Congregation, you won't need to do anything. I will end Anya's life and suffering!"
