In order to marry the holy lady wife, I had to defeat the devil

Because, there are people behind her who can be relied on.

Her expression was firm, with a hint of stubbornness on her face, standing straight with a sword, and her petite body seemed to support a piece of the world.

"Michelle, you are not suitable for this kind of thing, leave it to me."

Leo patted her shoulder lightly and crossed her to the front.

"The Holy Lady should keep the perfection and purity of the Holy Lady, and I will do this dirty thing for me, and do not dirty your hands."

Leo was a little distressed, and the feeling coming from the palm of his hand was that Michelle's body was very stiff, was he really stubborn.

"Leo!"

Michelle already had an enlightenment, but this realization was easily broken by Leo, and looked at his figure stunned.

"Leave it to me."

Leo turned his head and gave her a reassuring look.

Then he looked at the villagers, and his eyes became indifferent.

"I'm not merciful like Michelle, if I don't surrender, I will really kill you."

The eyes were cold to the extreme, exuding a terrifying aura, in the eyes of the villagers, Lei Oming was obviously just a teenager much younger than them, but it made them feel a strong oppression.

"Not only you, old people and children, but also women, I will not let any of them go, this is the residence of thieves, all are thieves, they all die well, the crime deserves it, if you want to do it, you must do it thoroughly, I will not leave hidden dangers for myself, cut the grass and remove the roots."

With him saying these words, a killing intent was released from his body, as if stepping into a cold winter, ice and snow flew, and the temperature around him plummeted.

The surrounding villagers deeply felt that their hearts seemed to be frozen.

Michelle looked at the figure in front of her, and it was he who stood up to help herself, and suddenly found that she seemed to have been relying on Leo.

When he was stationed at the cultist, he was able to escape successfully because Leo was there, and now, he wants to bear all this for himself.

Although these villagers did robbery, they were once innocent villagers, forced to go astray in order to survive, and now, she wants to kill this group of people who have been cornered with her own hands, but Leo stops her and does not let her dirty hands.

Michelle's hand holding the sword relaxed slightly, and Leo's figure in front of her seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, and the back that was obviously close at hand looked so far away, as if it was out of reach, and could never be touched.

No, it can't be like this!

This is not possible, obviously Leo is the same, why replace me, why dirty your hands for me.

Don't want to leave him alone.

In the next moment, faith burned again in his eyes, and he once again clenched the sword in his hand.

Only now, even if only now, I want to be with you.

With longing in her eyes, Michelle came to Leo with her sword and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, "I will not run away, nor will I let you bear it alone, this is my duty as an alternate saint."

Leo glanced at her and sighed slightly, obviously just leave it to him.

He admired Michelle's courage, but it didn't stop her from following through on her beliefs.

He looked at the villagers again, "Let's take a gamble, just bet on whether I can kill you all, I win, of course you will die, lose, maybe some of you will survive, how, do you want to bet?" This

kind of disregard for life made the villagers fearful, even if they had been thieves for a while, they had never met such a fierce person.

"Don't believe in my strength?"

Leo slashed out with a sword, and with the murderous aura hitting people's hearts, a sword mark crossed out, splitting the road of the village in two.

The villagers were stunned by his move.

This man is really going to kill them.

The thoughts welled up in the villagers' minds, and their faces became fearful.

Who wants to die, they become thieves only to seek a chance to live.

They used to be just a group of ordinary villagers, and they could kill the adventurers who came to fight only because those adventurers let their guard down and killed them by various means while they were not paying attention.

When faced with a strong person in a normal state like Leo, there is nothing he can do.

"Look at the children behind you, what do you see in their eyes?" Leo pointed to a few children behind them.

The villagers followed Leo's gaze, and the children in the village cowered in their mother's arms, some watching the scene with wide eyes, fear in their eyes, and a trace of hatred.

This is an expression that should not appear on the child's face.

"You are thieves, they are the descendants of thieves, even if they survive, they will be accused by countless people, this life will be ruined, and they will not be able to return to the life of normal people, or do you want them to become thieves, children and grandchildren, generation after generation to inherit the career of thieves, always live in the dark."

Leo's words were like a morning bell and a drum that shook the deaf.

The villagers felt a strong sense of self-blame and unwillingness.

Yes, they ruined the future of these children.

But who wants to get their hands dirty if they can survive.

"Give up your weapons and surrender, at least don't let those innocent people be implicated."

Michelle persuaded that as a last resort, she really didn't want to do anything to these villagers, and she didn't want Leo to do such a thing.

"There is no way to go back, we have been exposed, just like you said, whether it is an old woman, or a child, there is only one way to die, the only thing we can do is to fight to the end, kill you, let the people in the village go to the mountains, even if the nobles send troops to fight, there is room for maneuver."

The eldest son's anger is palpable, like a lone wolf who has been cornered, and he dies.

"As for the future, we will talk about the future later, at least for now, we have to live, there is no way back."

He let out a weak cry, no one can help them, even if they don't choose to become thieves, it is a dead end, and now they just continue to live for time, and they are still breathing.

They understand that one day they will be attacked and will resist to the end no matter what time.

"Yes, at least the children will be saved, unrelated people will not be punished, as long as they have not killed people, but only assisted, they will be punished lightly, and there is still room for salvation."

Michelle persuaded again that she really didn't want to see the villagers go to the worst.

"It's useless, you're just an ordinary priest, and you don't know what kind of punishment the nobles will do to us."

"I have the power to stop them, I am an alternate saint of the church, I have the power to deal with criminals, I will investigate the matter about you and give all of you an explanation."

Michelle does not give up persuading these villagers, and can convince one by one.

"Alternate saint of the church?"

Hearing this, the villagers, who were originally emotional, were stunned.

This kind of identity is too big, how can a person of this level come to their remote small village.

They had never heard of such a thing, and looked at the village chief, who shook his head.

He said: "Before some people from the church came to the village, saying that there was an alternate saint who was missing, if there is news, inform them, I thought this matter had nothing to do with us, now depending on the situation, what she said is probably true, but I didn't expect that the alternate saint would actually appear in our open corner."

The villagers' eyes were already shaken, and Michelle took the opportunity to say again: "As long as you believe me, I will let the innocent people in the village be treated kindly, children will not be discriminated against, the elderly and women can live normally, and those who are not stained with blood on their hands will be given lighter punishments and have the opportunity to return to the village to live a normal life."

"What about the man whose hands are already dirty?" Someone asked.

"Not dead, but will lose freedom forever."

What these people do is unforgivable, but if there is repentance, the punishment cannot be mitigated, but the deprivation of liberty is certain.

This is the limit of what Michelle can do, and it is also an account for those who died.

"So, come with me and turn yourself in, the rest of the village don't worry, I will arrange for people from the nearby church to help you."

"Is it really possible? Do we have a chance to do it all over again?

"No problem, as an alternate saint, I am not allowed and will not deceive others."

Michelle's words successfully broke the villagers' last line of defense.

After becoming thieves, the villagers blocked everything and deprived others of their lives without permission, thinking that they would fall into an irreparable hell, but now they see hope.

Although some people will lose their freedom forever, which is the punishment they deserve, at least others can return to normal life.

The villagers were visibly shaken, with tears of remorse streaming down their heads down, and the weapons in their hands could not be controlled and fell to the ground.

The village chief was grateful, knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly.

"If we had met a noble man like you earlier, how would we have embarked on this path."
