Chapter 58: Why Bully Our Chastity Maiden

Above a teleportation array.

Two resplendent and sacred figures slowly stepped out.

“Greetings, Holy Maiden.”

“Are you Wilma?”

Wilma hurried to her feet, wanting to perform the formal salutation, saying, “Yes, it is I.”

One of the Holy Maidens glanced at her and softly said, “I let you speak, not stand.”

‘Thud~’

Wilma knelt down again.

The pressure from these two Holy Maidens was simply overwhelming, completely different from that yellow-haired brat Ailiran.

“Alright, alright, Chastity Sister, don’t scare her anymore. Even if she does seem a bit useless, handing over the Chastity Maiden to her for assistance, no wonder things turned out like this.”

“Execute a few criminal beastfolk.”

“And you still expect the Chastity Maiden to compromise.”

“Compromise this, compromise that, do you really take the diligent army of my Second Wing, and my brave Diligence Knights, for decoration?”

“If beastfolk dare to come, I dare to fight.”

“If you dare to bully Chastity, I dare to kill.”

Wilma was already drenched in sweat. Weren’t they supposed to stop Chastity Holy Maiden from scaring her? Now this Diligence Holy Maiden looked even scarier, didn’t she?

The two who had arrived were:

Chastity Holy Maiden: Lizberu.

Diligence Holy Maiden: Yegeerlinne.

It wasn’t until the two Holy Maidens had left that Wilma suddenly pondered a fatal question: “Should I get up? Or just keep kneeling here?”

She soon figured it out.

What was the point of getting up?

Could she go help Ailiran solve the trouble, or what?

Besides, the two Holy Maidens hadn’t told her to get up! How many people want to kneel and don’t even have the chance!

The two sincerely sacred girls draped white veils over themselves, gradually fading into the crowd.

Right now, the place of greatest conflict within the city.

Was precisely the street in front of Ailiran’s manor.

The parading beastfolk were clamoring, threatening to storm the Holy Maiden’s manor if Ailiran didn’t release their kin.

No one knew how many people were just watching, nor how many were waiting to see a joke!

Diligence Yegeerlinne asked curiously:

“Chastity Sister, what do you think Chastity will do?”

“Holy Maidens never fear hardship, nor will they ever lower their proud heads. If Chastity does compromise, I think I’d be very sad! If Chastity stands firm, maybe I’ll reward her!”

“Chastity Sister, you’re biased. Why have you never rewarded me?”

“Diligence, you’re not a little girl anymore.”

The Diligence Holy Maiden sighed.

“ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh.”

She looked as if life was truly hard.

The two gazed at the protesting beastfolk; the tension at the scene had already reached a critical point.

Inside the Frezeya Manor, Ailiran was so exasperated she laughed, “An explanation? Hahaha, what kind of explanation do they want? Let them go talk to that ‘Feng Ao Tian’ Finanis!”

Ailiran paced for a while.

“Yalandaire, go draw a red line for me. Any beastfolk daring to cross, have the Chastity Knights execute them on the spot.”

The just-returned head maid once again accepted the order, fetched a bucket of red paint, and made her way to the standoff on the street.

Yalandaire wasn’t one for scheming; she only knew that as the Holy Maiden’s maid, she did whatever the Holy Maiden ordered.

Arriving at the street where the confrontation took place.

Yalandaire splashed down the paint.

She then faced the Chastity Knights and announced, “By order of Holy Maiden Ailiran: anyone who dares cross the red line— the entire Chastity Knights will execute without mercy.”

The issuing of this order.

Caused an uproar among the beastfolk.

That Holy Maiden really dared to give such an order? Was she not afraid of stirring the anger of the beastfolk who lived mixed in the city? Wasn’t she worried about angering the northern beastfolk tribes?

A werewolf crossed the red line. He was an elder of the Jackal Tribe in Atst.

The two beastfolk about to be executed were also his juniors.

“I am Hukeli of the Jackal Tribe. I want to see who dares kill me!”

After a moment.

Seeing that nothing had happened to him yet.

Hukeli couldn’t help but laugh loudly, continuing to provoke the Chastity Knights’ side.

“Who dares kill me?”

“Who dares kill me?”

“Who…”

Strange, why was the world spinning, and why was the sky so exceptionally blue today? Suddenly, he missed the wolf cubs back in his tribe.

Then, he stopped thinking.

Finanis sheathed her longsword, dug at her ear, and said, “There’s actually someone begging me to kill him? That’s the most ridiculous request I’ve ever heard.”

“You all saw it.”

“He asked me to kill him.”

The world seemed to fall silent.

Next, the beastfolk side completely exploded. Their race revered strength above all.

An elder of a tribe had been slain— there was no way the beastfolk could swallow this humiliation.

One after another, beastfolk crossed the red line, charging at the stationed Chastity Knights.

Unbeknownst to them.

Finanis let out a ferocious laugh.

Her formidable military skill allowed her to immediately issue orders: “Servant shield guards, form up!”

“Third cavalry squad, dismount and prepare for the enemy!”

“Second cavalry squad, fall back to Frezeya Manor and get ready to charge!”

“Fifth cavalry squad, switch to longbows. You’re authorized for free fire.”

The servants, originally only responsible for logistics, pulled out large shields and set up on the street, instantly forming an unbreakable shield wall.

You might think they were just servants.

But in truth, they were all Chastity Knight reserves.

And further back, the last cavalry squad quickly retreated— from the manor to the red line was nearly three hundred meters, enough space for a charge.

As for those terrifying longbows— knights weren’t only adept with lances, archery was also a critical part of their training. On horseback, they were knights; dismounted, they were elite warriors and sharp-eyed archers.

Fina grinned wickedly again.

“Hehehe.”

Alone, she rushed into the rampaging beastfolk. Each sweep of Finanis’s longsword left no whole corpse behind— and she was even holding back.

The beastfolk realized in terror.

They couldn’t win, simply couldn’t defeat this terrifying human. A beastfolk champion, recognized by his peers, couldn’t even take a single blow before being cleaved in two by Finanis.

What filled them with even greater despair was—

The ground suddenly began to tremble.

At the far end of the street, starting from the manor, a cavalry squad surged forth.

The next moment.

‘Boom boom boom~’

Warhorses shattered the beastfolk’s dream of protest.

“Run!”

“Those humans— they’re not human!”

“I only came to watch the commotion and join the fun, I don’t want to die, help!”

“……”

Up until the moment of their deaths, the beastfolk seemed to recall the fear once inflicted upon them by human warriors.

If the beastfolk were truly strong, why could they only cower on that plain?

The stench of blood filled the street.

Everywhere, there were severed limbs and broken bodies.

For the first time, people witnessed the true power of knights bearing the name of the Holy Maiden.

On the manor’s rooftop, Ailiran couldn’t help scratching her head, saying, “How can that Feng Ao Tian be so strong? What am I supposed to do with her?”

Though Ailiran had seen the Chastity Knights’ might, she had a strong premonition that Feng Ao Tian alone could take down the entire Chastity Knights— while she herself could only become her stinky tofu.

屮

Ailiran cursed under her breath.

“Yalandaire, go to the Righteous Parliament one more time.”

“Do you have any instructions?”

“The beastfolk have revolted, and those guys inside haven’t made a single move. Now that it’s all over, go tell them to get out here and clean up the mess.”

Since the masks were off.

There was no need to put on a nice face for them.

And could they beat Finanis? If not, then keep your mouths shut.

If they could?

This Holy Maiden would actually thank you, you know.
