Chapter 574: Disagreements in the Army
The "Rescue Scholars" sat on a bench, and Bourville drank an ale as he asked, "Why does the Supreme Dragon God think so highly of those scholars?"
Randall reminisced as he said, "Your Majesty seems to be very interested in the research that the scholars are doing. ”
Kellogg, the lizardman, rolled his yellow eyes, "The scholars of Twilight University have the best academic environment in the world, and those scholars living in the Diocese of the Heavenly Father, living in the reign of terror of the church all day long, hissing their research, can actually cause the supreme dragon god"
"Those scholars are the elite of the Royal Academy, and several have even taught Master Terrence at one time. Moreover, these people have a long history of correspondence with the University of Twilight, and the two sides have been in academic communication. ”
Randall continued, "It's just that the scholars of the Royal Academy used to have the support of the royal family and were able to escape the persecution of the church again and again, and now, the royal family of Taylor has been controlled by the church. ”
Carroll drank the wine from the glass and said in a deep voice, "Time is precious, don't talk nonsense, what are we going to do in the rescue plan"
Randall spread out the map and explained, "We set out from Twilight, passed through the Overwatch, and entered the territory of the Eastern Diocese. Lord Cumberland will lead his army to attract the enemy's attention on frontal combat, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to quickly traverse the gaps between the battlefields, bypassing the outposts of the Church of the Father and entering the Papal States. ”
Bourvail nodded and said, "It doesn't sound like a hassle, the key is what we should do next after we enter Taylor City."
"We are not alone in our actions after entering the city, whether it is the Church of the Father itself or the secular court of Taylor, there are people close to Protestantism. Moreover, there are people from the Xenomorph Association in the city, and they will also come to meet us. ”
Barbara looked around, and suddenly asked, "Randall himself is human, so his appearance is naturally not noticeable, and as for me, it is not a big problem to wear a hat, but how did the four of you get into the city with this look?"
Kellogg spat out the letter and said, "Lizardmen scouts have a special ability to change the color and texture of our skin at will, allowing our bodies to blend in with our surroundings. ”
With that, Kellogg changed his body to the colors of wood and earth, except for his yellow eyes, which looked like they were invisible.
Randall spoke, "Don't worry about the appearance of the Holy Cult, the Xenomorph Society will provide you with the necessary cover. ”
Kellogg put his body back in shape, thought for a moment, and asked Randall, "What if, when we enter the city, we find that the scholars are dead?"
Carol and Aldnan looked at the lizardman in surprise, a little surprised by the latter's question.
Randall pursed his lips, "If that's the case, it means the worst has happened." ”
"In accordance with His Majesty's orders, we will collect as complete the equipment and manuscripts of the Royal Scholars of Taylor as possible for the research of the University of Twilight. ”
Kellogg flicked his tail behind him and said slowly, "I'm fine. ”
Seeing that the others were no longer talking, Randall clapped his hands and said, "Since everyone is fine, it's time to go." ”
As the others dispersed and went to prepare their bags and weapons, Aldnan approached Carroll and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do in the future?"
The orc turned around, and for a moment did not understand the problem of the werewolf "later"
"I mean, what are you going to do when this mission is over?"
"Does this kind of question make sense?"
Aldenan looked depressed, "Could it be that you still plan to follow Miss Barbara, rest assured to be her sidekick, listen, after this operation, Randall and Barbara will have a wedding, and you will be an eyesore at that time." ”
The movement in Carol's hand stopped, and the whole person fell silent.
Fifteen days later, the six-man squad climbed over snow-capped mountains, avoided avenues, and walked through swamps, finally stepping into the territory of the Heavenly Father's Diocese.
"This is the Duchy of Queknaville, and the lord's family are all devout Protestants, but they have died tragically by the sword of the church mob. ”
Randall looked into the distance, where the sun was like blood and crows were swarming.
Aldenan licked the hair on his arm with his tongue and said with a feeling of discomfort, "I walked for most of the day, and I couldn't even see a living thing." The smell of blood in the air almost made my sense of smell useless. ”
Kellogg, the lizardman, stared at the half-dried bones in the grass not far away, and said softly, "Regardless of history, human beings have been synonymous with destruction and destruction, hissing thanks to the supreme dragon god, who purified our souls and gave us peace." ”
Looking at Randall, who was embarrassed, the minotaur Bourville comforted, "Kellogg speaks directly, don't take it to heart, the lizardman species has always been like this." ”
Randall waved his hand, "Kellogg is telling the truth, but humans aren't all violent bastards. ”
Kellogg glanced at Randall, withdrew the letter he had spit out, and said no more.
Aldenan suddenly craned his neck and pricked up his ears, "Listen. ”
Carroll leaned down, leaned his ear close to the earth, and said as he listened, "The sound of horses' hooves." ”
Kellogg took off his cloak and put his dagger on his waist, and said to the others, "You stay here, I'll go and have a look." ”
After saying this, the lizardman's body slowly blended into the environment, and he could no longer see his figure.
After about ten minutes, Kellogg returned to the group and said, "There was a war just over ahead, and our army captured a group of church supporters. ”
Aldnan straightened up and said to Randall, "We may be able to meet with the commander of the army and learn about the current situation of the battle, which will help us better get through the battlefield." ”
Before Randall could speak, Kellogg said, "Shhh
"Why"
"Our army is squabbling. ”
When Randall led the team to the battlefield strewn with corpses, he saw a scene that surprised him.
The army from the same dragon country is now divided into two factions and stands against each other.
One faction is the black-armored Knights of the Twilight West, and the other is a small warband of the Holy Cult Army composed of alien races.
Randall fixed his gaze, and the Holy Cult warband was about one hundred and twenty men, all orcs, and they had captured twice as many captives.
The leader of the Holy Cult Warband, an orc commander wearing a one-eyed dragon's eyepatch, stepped on the neck of a captive and held a piece of paper in his hand, and shouted "Look at this leaflet I found, what it says these son of bitch bastards are slandering our gods"
The Wing Captain of the Knights of the Twilight West took off his helmet and revealed a human face that had been battered with vicissitudes, "These prisoners of war have committed unforgivable sins, but neither you nor I have the right to act as judges, we must escort them back to the camp, and the Grand Master and the Shaman Assembly will give a fair sentence." ”
The orc commander tore the paper in his hand to shreds "When these people write these blasphemous words, their lives are over"
The captive, lying at the feet of the orcs, cried out loudly in fear, "I didn't write these things, they were given to me by the church"
The orc commander exerted force on his feet and roared, "Spreading the sin of blasphemers is a capital offense as well"
The Captain of the Order stepped forward and said, "Wantonly slaughtering prisoners is not something we should do, you are a soldier and should abide by the discipline of the army."
The orc commander looked at the knight and laughed, and said coldly, "We are servants of the dragon god, not soldiers of the kingdom."
As soon as he finished speaking, the orc commander raised his foot and stomped on the captive's head.
With the crisp sound of bones cracking, the captive's head was like an exploding watermelon, and the red and white streams flowed to the ground.
