Chapter 1147: Demon Trail 3
Could it be that the people of the Holy See have discovered their true identities?
Madame had a ghost in her heart, and her lips turned white with fright.
Fortunately, most of the refugees did not recover from the previous panic, and most of them were frightened, blue-faced and white-lipped, and she was inconspicuous among them.
"Calm down, ma'am, no one here will recognize us." The Knight of Lofes whispered.
Madame took a deep breath.
The shadow left on her by the people of the Holy See was too deep, and if it were not for the Holy See, her husband would have fled with them a long time ago, and she would not have separated her daughter and ended up in this situation.
Although Lofes is loyal, there are many things that she dare not sue him, such as the Ten Forgiveness of the Demon Calamity.
Although it was unlikely that Lofes would abandon them, because her husband had shown him great kindness, and with Lofes's character, he would probably not give up on them, even if he knew that they were no longer nobles.
But she couldn't afford to take that risk.
Her throat moved, dry and painful, which stimulated her nerves, and Madame suddenly sobered up a lot, and said in a low voice:
"Lopis, don't call me Madame anymore, my name before I got married was Jenny. Claire. Plante, Claire is my mother's original surname, few people know it, you can just call me Claire. ”
Lofes gave her a deep look, "Okay, Claire. ”
They were almost at the front of the line, and only a few men were left before the clerk, when a knight arrived and reported to the knight who was standing beside the clerk:
"Captain, the demons are here."
"It took so long to arrive. Sure enough, it's just a rabble! ”
The captain snorted, and his calm attitude immediately quieted the somewhat restless refugees.
The captain of the knights did not leave immediately, but gave a few words to the clerk before stepping on his horse and leaving.
Lofes leaned closer and faintly heard "...... Check in...... A lot of ...... Codex ...... The child cannot ......", the clerk nodded again and again, and when the knight had gone, he said to the refugees with a look of "you have taken a great advantage":
"You're in luck! Captain Balk was a devout disciple of the Most High God, and he was willing to give a portion of the food at the disposal of the town to children under the age of ten and the elderly over sixty. You have benefited. Don't forget to thank the Supreme God for His grace and thank you to Captain Balk! ”
"Thank you, Captain Balk!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Thank you, thank you, and may the light of our Lord be with you!"
Refugees with elderly people and children are overjoyed. Some orphans were also immediately claimed. All prayed. The panic caused by the demon clan calmed down suddenly.
"Is it to calm people's hearts, or are they really Knights Templar?" Lofis was suspicious.
If you are a member of the Knights Templar, do something to save children and the elderly. It's normal.
Although the brilliance of the Most High God cannot be obtained free of charge to show the preciousness of his grace, in times of famine or war, the Holy See also has many acts of free food and relief to guide the Lamb in distress to further devotion with good deeds.
"But the people of the Knights Templar, how can they be here at this time, or have their large team already gone to the front line, and only a few people remain here?"
Lofes didn't know that he had guessed part of it.
But the true purpose of the Knights Templar was 108,000 miles away from what he had guessed.
On the wall, the captain of the knight order looked at the scattered one or two hundred demons who staggered out of the forest, and frowned:
"Why are there so many? Was it Curt and Orson who went out to explore the way just now, and where were they? ”
"Report to the captain, we're here."
Two knights, still sweaty, stepped out.
"How's the situation in the west, the barony has already fallen?"
"The barony didn't release wolf smoke, it shouldn't be the case yet, I see that those demons didn't take the trade route, they should have bypassed the barony......" The knight named Curt reported.
The squad leader's face became solemn: "In this case, the demon clan has already begun to invade on a large scale. Our main force, I'm afraid that we will encounter these vanguard soldiers of the demon clan on the way. ”
"Do you want to send someone to arraign?" Another knight built yì.
"No, the regiment commander has a special communication channel with the rear, and this news should have been transmitted back to the rear."
The squad leader said in a deep voice:
"Our responsibility now is to guard this checkpoint and wait for the head of the regiment to come back!"
In his sight, those wandering demons found the town's cunzài, strode and screamed and rushed towards the town......
***
Amber Tower.
Upon hearing the news, Lin An urgently convened an extraordinary meeting of the Royal Secret Law Order.
"The demons have begun to invade on a large scale, and they have begun to spread beyond the Red River Plateau? How could it be so fast! ”
The five elders including Master Biyulai were present, and their reactions were similar to when Lin An first heard the news, with a look of surprise.
"It's not very fast, it's been half a month since the miracle of the sky, and during this time, the demons have been sporadically throwing in the vanguard cannon fodder to test their reaction."
Lin An has been in contact with the front line and knows the general situation well:
"Although some masters have used the power of the Mystery Lock to intercept and kill some of them, the demons must have gradually tested our resistance strength, and they are afraid of the other party's strong men and will not make a move, after such a long time of temptation, it is common sense to speculate that the demons should also invest a large number of troops and further test the time."
This is a typical refueling tactic, like adding oil to an oil lamp, once is not enough, add more, not enough, add more...... In order to detect what kind of preparation the Terrans have made for this war.
In a full-scale war between the two races, the demon race doesn't care about the mortality rate of ordinary cannon fodder, and in the case of ruthlessness, it is not difficult for the reality of the human race to be discovered.
No matter how strong the masters on the front line are, they can only shake less than one percent of the power of the Confused Lock, and the rest can only be killed by their own strength.
"How's the battle going on the front?"
Master Bioulai asks the question everyone else wants to ask.
"Words on the ground...... It's erosive. ”
Lin An smiled bitterly.
-- The so-called ground, in the mouths of the powerhouses of their level, generally refers to battles below the level of a qiē master. Because it is already possible to stay in flight for a long time and above at the master level, master battles rarely do not involve the air.
“…… As you know, the army of the Holy Empire has not yet shown signs of sending troops, and as for the main army of the Holy Noche Kingdom, most of them are gathered in the royal capital, and the noble private soldiers are guarding the territory, and the territories around the Red River Plateau have no people to support. ”
Not to mention Merlin and Perre.
Merlin and the Holy Empire are separated by the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and a large desert, and it will take half a year to march into the territory of the Holy Empire, otherwise the situation of the Three Kingdoms should have ended long ago; Perret was relatively close, but it would take no less than three months to march.
But the question is, if the Holy Empire's own subjects don't come to the rescue, why should the other two empires send troops to support?
At present, both countries are only on the border of Chen Bing, and while expanding their armies and training their troops, they sit back and watch the flames of the Holy Empire, while the upper echelons of the ruling class constantly send envoys back and forth to fight each other.
A few days ago, a royal child of the Holy Empire had just arrived in Pompey as an envoy to bring a letter of state, hoping to obtain Merlin's weapons and food support.
The same envoys, Perret also had them.
No matter how much support you can get, it's a diplomatic attitude.
Because of frequent diplomatic contacts, the new type of communication crystal has a market, and the royal child of the Holy Empire, who is an envoy, learned about the ultra-long-distance communication function of this communication crystal, and specially asked the emperor for a manufacturing method.
The Emperor didn't give him the recipe for making it, but generously rewarded him with twenty communication crystals.
Anyway, the Holy Empire is a mage desert, and only the Inquisition has a few archmages who have been co-opted, and these teleportation crystals are more than enough.
In this case, the contact between the heads of state of the three countries will soon rise from the current state of blockage to a relatively rapid process of communication.
This is also an inevitable trend, otherwise if it goes on like this, and when the envoys go back and forth, it will be difficult for the demons to spread from the Holy Noche Kingdom to the entire territory of the Holy Empire.
As for Perret's side, Lin An has also communicated with Guò John to send the transmission crystal of Master Don Quixote to Emperor Jupiter, anyway, the news of the bracelet was broken by Marshal Hagus, and there is no need to hide it.
However, because of this factor, in a relatively smooth communication environment, Emperor Jupiter has agreed to implement the Demon Hunting List and the Glory List.
Coincidentally, the headquarters of the mercenary union also made a hero list to reward the civil anti-demon heroes led by mercenaries, and the president of the mercenary union personally met with Emperor Jupiter, hoping that this list could be officially recognized.
The three lists have different awards and are prone to controversy.
After a long discussion, the two sides decided to reduce it to a hero list and a group list.
The former participates individually, and the latter participates in groups including the military, and both lists are prefixed with the prefix "Demon Hunting", named "Demon Hunting Hero List" and "Demon Hunting Glory List".
As for the rewards of the two lists, they are so rich that they are incredibly good.
"Kill a Demon Archmage or Golden Beast Soul Martial Saint, and you will be crowned with a hereditary third-class hereditary earl title and territory; Kill three, is a third-class hereditary marquis? ”
Lin An said that the reward standard that has been basically formulated at present, and Master Heinz said in surprise:
"A third-class earl's real fiefdom, at least 750,000 mu of royal family is out of blood, is there so much land sealed?"
(750,000 acres is equivalent to about 500 square kilometers, which is about one and a half of Macao's land area.) )
"Perre, I don't know, but Merlin's words, after laying down the Arctic Ice Field, the land under the name of the royal family has increased greatly, even if it is not counted in the Arctic Ice Field, the current direct territory of the royal family still occupies more than seventy percent of Merlin's territory, even if all the demon hunters come to Merlin to seal the seal, the Merlin royal family will also give the land."
Lin An said lightly.
