Chapter 434: The Situation
Perhaps realizing his gaffe, Arthas coughed lightly and immediately regained his gloomy expression.
"It's good to wake up, recover for a few more days, your current situation is not suitable for fierce battles, and the three cadet brigades have been reduced by more than half, I will not arrange combat missions for you for the time being. ”
Philip straightened his waist and replied loudly, "I am fully recovered, and I can accept the mission at any time, please give the order, Your Excellency, Commander." ”
This battle of life and death made him completely accept this teacher, he saw the whole process with his own eyes, if it wasn't for this teacher who sacrificed his life to block those two fifth-order powerhouses, I'm afraid they would have died cleanly.
For this reason, the followers that Arthas has cultivated for many years, and who have fought side by side with him for twenty years, six brothers like siblings have died, and three have been seriously injured and disabled, and the cost is not insignificant.
Although there was no sadness on his face, only as a warrior could he understand the sadness and regret in his bones.
Five of Philip's followers also died, and their ashes were placed in jars and wrapped in the flag of the Southern Temple, waiting to be sent back to their homeland for burial.
Arthas didn't accept Philip's invitation to fight, he took a sip of a cup of strong tea, drove everyone around him out of the room, and then said slowly: "Your situation is quite special, I didn't expect your divine punishment power to really evolve in this situation.
I have reported to the two adults, and this is their instruction, and you are not fit to continue to be exposed to the world.
Once the railroad is repaired, you'll be sent back to Flogen, where you'll be taught in the Holy Tower by Chief Instructor Neymar, who is the aide-de-camp of Lord Arnold and the honorary head of the Knights' Branch.
Every student he trained became a paladin.
With him, you will not only learn how to use the power of divine punishment, but also get a comprehensive and systematic tempering. ”
"Yes, teacher, I won't let you down. Philip replied categorically.
After talking about the arrangements for him, Arthas did not hesitate and gave him a detailed introduction to the recent situation.
"Wenger has been ambushed, but Andy's people have also suffered a lot of losses, if it weren't for Lord Augustin's early reinforcements, I'm afraid the situation in the city is still in chaos.
The thieves were cunning, but Lord Augustine saw through their plot, and a counter-siege was annihilated, all but a few of the leaders were annihilated.
The Red Rose on the border line is divided into two, one part has cooperated with the Knight of Goodd to outflank the thieves' lair and behead the few leaders who escaped, and the other part has obtained permission from the temple to move here.
I'll be there this afternoon at the latest, and your princess girlfriend's safety will be completely secure.
Your mission was well accomplished, and Marshall confided several important pieces of information that allowed us to avoid two deadly traps.
Now we can't rely too much on the Shrine's intelligence network, which has been heavily infiltrated and has proven a lot of information to be false or even the exact opposite. ”
"Teacher, what's the situation outside, and when will the railroad be restored?"
"What, worry about home? Don't you have ...... Ahem, it should be soon, by tonight Lord Augustine will have taken down York City to the east, and then the rebels will be locked in the swamp and unable to move. ”
He originally wanted to talk about Arthur, but suddenly remembered the scene when they met for the first time, and it was inevitable that he was a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed his words.
"Yes, a little worried, indeed. ”
"The night after tomorrow at the latest, the moon lily will come to an end of its flowering period, and the remaining amount after picking will not resonate with the divine power, and the intercom can barely be used.
But whether or not you can directly contact Gaokan City depends on luck, and now that all communication lines have been disrupted, some of them have simply been scrapped.
But I'll say hello and give priority to you students and your families to be safe. ”
"Thank you, teacher!"
Philip found that Arthas was still very easy to deal with after getting acquainted, completely different from the previous rebellious appearance.
But he didn't know that, in addition to his appreciation for this student, the reason why Arthas had changed so much was related to the battle that day.
Everyone present that day, except for Robin and Charlton, who may have a vague guess, no one else knew how the two top powerhouses standing at the peak of the continent died, and who did it.
But in Alsace's heart, he was 100% sure that it was Philippe's handiwork.
The two fifth-order masters, including him, who were helpless, died so powerlessly under the divine punishment of Philip's evolution, it was as easy as slaughtering two honey dolphins.
This strong contrast made Alsace, who had always prided himself a strong man, feel inexplicable fear.
If it were him, I'm afraid there would be no exception to the ending.
Even if he knew that Philip's ability was triggered under a specific condition, he couldn't use it if he wanted to, but after fighting on the Purgatory battlefield for so many years, he had developed a blind worship of the power of divine punishment in his bones, and was even a little jealous of Philip's luck.
There are some news that Alsace did not tell Philippe, such as the rebellion and the liquidation of the diocese in the major principalities and empires, and the victory and defeat of each other.
However, in general, although those rebellious temple forces brought some trouble, under the thousands of years of power of the temple, those local leaders were still relatively clear-minded, and most of them chose to watch from the sidelines, and did not end rashly.
This leaves enough time for the temple forces to fight back.
Only one or two minor principalities seemed to be bewitched by the idea of independence and chose to participate, but they were quickly wiped out by the thunderous blows of the Knights of the Templars.
One of the most outstanding is Philip's old acquaintance, Leonardo, who is now the head of the diocese of a country.
Not only did he run his diocese as tightly as an iron bucket and could not be splashed with water, but he also had a keen sense of smell and was not misled by false information, and he brazenly sent troops to his neighbors at the very first time when the rebellion was launched.
A thousand-mile blitzkrieg that can go down in history killed the rebels who had just declared a rebellion and had not had time to make strategic deployments, and the rebellion that had lasted only two days was destroyed.
For that handsome man, Alsace has always been unconvinced, but only this time, he is really a little envious.
Now that the royal family of the small principality has been slaughtered, leaving only a bloodline hidden in the people as a backhand, and the life and death are all in his thoughts.
This greatly frightened the rulers of the surrounding principalities, and calmed down those who were about to make a move.
With such a feat, even if the rebellion does not have to be completely quelled, the area of the diocese controlled by Leonardo will be expanded several times, and he will become the most powerful paladins under the Southern Temple.
The overall strength of the wheel may not be weaker than that of some ordinary holy knights.
In terms of background, although theoretically under the command of the Holy Knight of Arnold, Alsace's background made him in the camp closer to Archbishop James.
But Leonardo went through this battle, but he really entered Arnold's field of vision and became one of his henchmen to rely on.
Philip walked out of the temple door, and the expression on his face really relaxed.
He took a risk in today's statement, and to be honest, he was really afraid that Arthas would send him to continue the purge mission.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the enemy, but that the arrest of Marshall made him deeply aware of what it was like to be an executioner without a self.
Whether it was the unforgettable hatred in the eyes of those innocent villagers, or the cruel bite of the little girl, it left him with indelible memories.
There is no right or wrong, there is no justice or evil, there are only different camps and interests, but in the end, it is the innocent people under their respective camps who bear everything.
Now that he is on the boat, Philip naturally has to make his own choice, and successfully submits his vote.
But that wasn't enough, if he was one of those big guys, he would continue to be put to the test until he was saddled with enough killings to tie him firmly into the opposing camp.
Fortunately, his near-death blow completely exposed his divine punishment talent in front of the higher-ups, and the effect was so strong that the high-ups couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb because of the tragic ending.
Although it is not yet known why divine punishment is so important, whether it is to protect his secrets or to rely on his talents, the two adults in the Holy Tower must make a gesture.
Suffice it to say, the test for him ended early, and this rebellion had nothing to do with him from now on.
While this also means that he will not be able to reap dividends from this war, the benefits of stealth are not impossible.
It is believed that after this battle, the knight class in the Southern Temple will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it hurts his muscles and bones, so when he graduates, there will be many fewer obstacles on the road to promotion.
Not only him, but also for those classmates who survived, the test was over.
I believe that as long as you pass those rigid assessment criteria, everyone will get a satisfactory result in two years.
In addition, the envoy of the Southern Temple had met with Sophia in private, conveying a great deal of goodwill.
The first is to make up for the shock and loss she has experienced, and the second is to thank the Red Rose for his helping hand in times of crisis, Florgun will carry out a series of cooperation with the southeastern provinces of the Wardsmann Empire in terms of politics and economy, and even open up some military technology.
This means that Sophia has also gotten rid of the influence of the royal family and has officially established close ties with the Southern Temple, and whether it is public or private, she will inevitably receive the support of the Southern Temple.
The evidence is that the envoy faintly revealed that Bishop Ferdinand, who had a good relationship with Sophia when he was in the imperial capital, would settle in the city of Galustre and become the ruler of the temple there.
At the same time, his level will also be raised to the next level, becoming an archbishop, and the entire Garoste Temple will also increase by half a level.
That's the most lucrative benefit.
The only thing that is confusing is that Chela and the 'Godslayers' he leads have disappeared as strangely as he appeared, and no one can find them.
