Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Gate of the Abyss! Chapter 31: Meeting
Raging Thunder Cliff should be the location of the siege of the Dead Council this time. [No pop-ups.] >"
The Templar Boris pointed to a mountain peak on the map, then nodded vigorously, and said with a very solemn expression: "The Dead Council dared to attack here, and mobilized a large number of personnel, which shows that they are very sure, although I don't know what they will do, but I learned from some special sources that some of their veteran members may also join this operation." β
At this point, his face gradually relaxed, and he smiled at Luo Lan: " Bishop Landiston, this is a good opportunity for our Holy See, according to the judgment of the Pope, the Dead Council will definitely send a small number of elites to attack and kill that person, then in this way, their strength on the periphery will inevitably be relatively weak for the Friars, if we take this opportunity to concentrate on breaking through their outer edges in one fell swoop, and then stabilize the position, and lay an encirclement, even if we can't completely annihilate the enemy, it will definitely be able to severely damage the Dead Council, and maybe kill a few of their elders, this move will inevitably greatly enhance the prestige of the Holy See, then the right to speak on the issue of the Friars' seat must have more weightγ β
Luo Lan glanced at the map and said with a smile: "It seems that His Majesty the Pope is determined to succeed this time." β
Boris nodded heavily and said, "Three days ago, Brother Morgowards was stationed in Fort Vendes, where Brother Barbrosa of the Knights Alliance was in charge of cooperating, and Brother Dean Reims was stationed in the town of Full Moon, and the person who cooperated with him was Brother Naoraser of the Mage Society, my lord," he pointed to a ruin on the hills in the distance, and said, "Our mission is to enter the Temple of Misteron, so that we can form a triumph with the Council of the Dead besieging the Cliffs of Fury. β
Luo Lan pointed in the direction of Boris, where the ruined pillars were faintly visible in the dawn sun, and the white ruined stone steps loomed among the weeds, and the guards could get an unobstructed view of the surrounding terrain if they established a stronghold on the ruins of the temple.
"It's just that in this way, our Holy See is on the front line of the battle with the Dead Council, which is bound to lose a lot of manpower. β
Borison responded, saying, "What is it to eradicate the darkness and restore the light, and sacrifice a little manpower?"
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows, behind Mogo Watts and Dean Lance stood cardinals and sacrificial groups respectively, these two people were not something that Bidoka II could trust, so he must urgently want to support a cronie of his own to fight against these two people, as a close confidant of Pidoca II, Boris was responsible for assisting his actions this time, purely from the point of view of martial arts, he also reached the level of the twelfth order upper position, if he obtained a certain amount of merit this time, then he was very hopeful to succeed the vacancy left by the death of Brother Mehdi, and Piduka II seemed to mean exactly thatγ
Looking at the ambitious Boris, it seemed that he didn't take the brutal battle that was about to happen to him to heart, and the corners of Luo Lan's mouth couldn't help but show a playful smile.
"This time, we reacted as soon as we received the letter of help from the Knight Alliance, and this move will inevitably win the support of many nobles," Boris put out the bonfire under his feet with his foot, and stood up and looked at the rising sun, looking at the rising sun, as if the seat of the chief monk had already been obtained.
Then. The scout in charge of pathfinding has turned around. He came near and saluted. "Your Excellency, Bishop." The ruins of the Temple on the Hills have been occupied. On the ground is the flag of the Monks' Territory. All outposts facing us have been cleared. I scouted it. The places where we come and go are indeed our people. β
"Oh?" Boris was stunned. He looked at Luo Lan and said, "Could it be that the monk will send the monk to cooperate with your attack? But we arrived last night. Why didn't they come down to meet us?"
Due to the urgency of the time to participate in this battle. The cooperation between the three major forces is not very tacit. But every land that needs to be occupied must be on the ground. The Monks sent two Monks to fight together. to ensure absolute superiority in a single direction. But from the standpoint of Powers. The Holy See was the main force in this attack. Of course, it should be respected and valued accordingly.
Boris pointed at the scout. He said solemnly, "Do you really see that we are from the locals? Are you sure it's not a trap?"
This scout has a lot of experience. Facing Boris's majestic gaze. He still stood straight. And replied with great certainty: "Yes." I'm sure. β
Luo Lan smiled. "The view above the hill is wide. If you don't have enough manpower, it's only suitable for a sentry post. To wipe out our team, we need to mobilize at least a thousand men. It's not a place of too much importance to be discarded. And even if there are so many people, the water source alone is a big problem. There is absolutely no way that the Dead Council is arranged like this. Because it's our locals, it's right. β
Boris was stunned, he originally despised Luo Lan a little, thinking that this person was just sitting in this position because of good luck and the right time, and he could do it just as well, while envious and jealous, he once thought that the other party must have used his own place to attack this time, but from what he said just now, it seems that this person is underestimated by himself.
Luo Lan's hand waved forward, making a forward gesture, and the team of about 500 people behind him began to rumble, this column gathered all the elite of the last expedition against Shaloman, and it is worth mentioning that this also included the cavalry led by the Black Widow, this beautiful woman also participated in this campaign to fight for the seat of the chief monk.
There was already a row of people in exquisite and luxurious costumes waiting in front of the temple, and when everyone approached, one of the most well-dressed people walked up, he made a noble salute elegantly, and smiled at Luo Lan, who was riding a horse in the middle of the queue, and said: "This must be the Chief Brother of Landiston, I have been waiting for you for a long time, let me introduce myself, the contemptible person is the monk of the Monks Angus Gale." β
Angus Gale: This is the one that I've heard the most in recent times.
Luo Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, he jumped off the horse, also returned a noble salute, and took this opportunity to look at the other party carefully.
This is a middle-aged man with a casual and chic demeanor and an extremely beautiful appearance, the two whiskers on his lips are very good-looking, the bridge of his nose is straight and towering, his forehead is broad, and the dense and neat brown is tied behind his back, his skin is a healthy bronz, and the whole person is filled with a flamboyant vitality, which makes people feel good at first glance.
The body of the young man who followed the middle of the queue trembled slightly, this trip, there were some priests and Templar swordsman apprentices in the queue, he was also one of them, at this time, his eyes revealed a hostile light, and he whispered, "Is that Angus Gale?"
Black Widow was right next to him, and she whispered, "What, you know him?"
The boy gritted his teeth and said, "There is a good chance that he is the one who kidnapped my sister Miranda." β
Black Widow's blue eyes flickered, she glanced at the young man thoughtfully, and said, "Are you sure?"
The young man nodded extremely hard, squeezed out a suppressed word, and said, "Yes." β
Black Widow's eyes flickered, she smiled softly, and said, "I remember when I first met Bishop Lantiston, he promised his mage friend to take care of you two brothers and sisters, since there is this matter, and I also met Brother Angus Gale, then you should explain it to the Bishop, maybe this matter will be resolved?"
The young man's heart moved, he raised his head, looked at the black widow with eager eyes, and said, "Is it?" he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is this appropriate?"
"It's your own business. As a friend, I'm just giving you a reasonable suggestion, and it's up to you how to do it, what do you say?" the black widow slapped the whip in her palm and winked at the boy.
The boy nodded wryly, and said, "Yes, you are right," he said, taking a breath, "I will explain this to the Bishop tonight." β
Looking at the young man who seemed to have made up his mind, there was an unfathomable smile in the Black Widow's eyes.
"Who is this?" Luo Lan said, gesturing to a tall man standing behind Angus Gale.
This is a sturdy middle-aged man, his expression is indifferent, his palms and shoulders are thick, and he can be said to be not very conspicuous when standing among the guards.
"Oh, this is my butler Locke," Angus Gale introduced to Luo Lan with a smile, but it seemed that his gaze was unnatural for a moment.
Luo Lan nodded, glanced at Locke up and down with a smile, and said, "This butler of Brother Angus Gale is not bad. β
Angus Gale explained with a smile: "Locke used to be a warrior, and his strength was barely mid-level, and Lord Lantyston won the prize. β
Luo Lan glanced at Angus Gale and said, "It seems that you treat your butler very well, the skin on his cheeks is very fair, and he can see that he is a loyal butler who has been in charge of affairs in the mansion all year round." β
Angus Gale's face couldn't help but change slightly, but it was quickly disguised, put his white-gloved hand to his mouth, coughed, and said, "Your lord, you are laughing." β
Luo Lan smiled and didn't speak, he took a few steps forward, looked at the dense forest under the hillside, and said, "Brother Angus Gale, how are you going to deal with the Dead Council next?"
Angus Gale stepped forward and stood side by side with Luo Lan, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Last night, our battle ended quickly, there were not many manpower arranged here, and they retreated almost at the slightest contact, if they don't fight back tonight, it means that they don't have enough manpower in this direction, we can consider continuing to attack." β
Luo Lan smiled and said, "Okay, it seems that Brother Angus Gale obviously has a detailed plan, so you might as well talk about it." β
Angus Gale pointed to the dense forest and said: "There is a small piece of high ground behind this wood, it is surrounded by a stream, the water is abundant, and there is no less terrain than here, the Dead Council should have a stronghold there, if we can seize it, it will be like inserting a sharp knife in the hinterland of the Dead Council, but doing so will inevitably be attacked by them frantically, and on the way we will have to pass through the dense forest in unknown circumstances, and the harvest and risk are very great." β
After a pause, he said very humbly: "Bishop Landiston has not only participated in the battle of dragon slaying, but also repelled hundreds of thousands of orcs in the Eastern Continent with a small number of troops, so this record is naturally not beyond my reach, what I said is only my immature opinion, and in the end, it is up to you, Lord Bishop, to make a decision." β
Luo Lan's smile remained unchanged and said, "Well, Brother Angus Gale's plan is very bold, very good, okay, just do it, then everything will be left to you to deal with." β
Angus Gel was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Luo Lan would veto his proposal, or maybe he would disagree, but he didn't expect that he would not object, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
After a few more conversations, the two went back to their resting places.
Locke's butler behind Angus Gale walked up and said in a deep voice, "My lord, he seems to be suspicious of me,"
Angus Gale snorted and said, "It's nothing, it's just a suspicion, isn't he suspicious of me?"
"My lord, what is the Holy See's idea, why did they send this man to cooperate with you, could it be that they really noticed something, should we ......?" Locke asked with concern.
Angus Gale pondered for a while, and said, "They should have found a clue from Charlemagne, but they shouldn't have figured out what I wanted to do...... His eyes flickered, and he sneered: "Our plan is still the same." β
