Chapter 64: The Pioneer Knights: The Cradle
From the adjutantate, Edward learned what the ancient gods were talking about patrolling.
Randomly shuttle to a civilization in the garrison area to check the status of this civilization and whether there is a danger of extinction.
Because of the special identity of an existence like Edward, this random shuttle will cause Edward to first crash into the world with the most critical situation in the garrison area!
According to the Auxiliary Officer's account, the emissaries under the command of the ancient gods used it to determine the recent stability of the area they were stationed in.
If you travel to a stable and peaceful world, it means that the area under the command of the garrison is in a "safe state".
On the other hand, if you come across a world on the verge of destruction after traveling, congratulations to this Guardian, he has to be busy.
Nonorira is on the right track, and the promotional video of her own church will also be recorded by people from the Magic Net Church.
Edward had to admit that he was indeed the most idle one at this time.
Well, since he has nothing to do, let's find something to do, and this time, at the urging of the gods, Edward decided to start the "daily" patrols that he will often come into contact with in the future as soon as possible!
Edward called Beatrice and explained that he was going to be away for a while, and that Nonorira would be in charge of her affairs, and that if there was anything important, Beatrice could report to Edward in the Defender's chat.
"This chat room is really useful, no matter how far away you are on a business trip, you are not afraid."
After Beatrice left, Edward couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
The existence of the chat room allowed Edward to keep an eye on the situation of his church at all times, no matter how far away, without worries, Edward could go out to travel with confidence...... Ah no, it's patrolling the world, fulfilling the duties and obligations of an archbishop of a star sector!
"Ding-dongββ! Pioneer Church Notice, Pioneer Knights Code: Cradle, No. 76311. Disappeared three months ago, no news has been heard back for three consecutive months, today issued the first missing contact announcement, may our warriors return soon! β
Just as Edward was thinking about what good things he would bring with him next, the Shadow Instrument on Edward's desk suddenly flickered, and a voice with a little sadness came into Edward's ears.
Edward blinked, and turned his head to look at the Shadow Machine, which revealed a gray piece of paper with silver text flashing on it.
This is the announcement of the loss of contact with the Pioneer Church.
Each missing Pioneer Order will have a disappearance announcement that repeats itself three times, and as time passes, the color of the paper used in the disappearance announcement will become darker and darker, and by the time the last disappearance announcement is announced, the paper will become a solid black consistent with the team's demise.
This is one of the trivia that Barron's subordinates, Gail, who used to chase dreams and pioneer knights, told Edward about the Pioneer Church in casual conversation.
Edward couldn't help but squint his eyes when it came to the missing announcement, the announcement of the disappearance of each missing knight order on the side of the Pioneer Church was every 100 days, no more and no less.
During this total of 300 days, the members of the Pioneer Church will contact the missing church partners in a variety of ways, and they will persevere.
However, in general, these actions are useless, because only a few knights will be lucky enough to restore communication after losing contact and return safely from another world.
There are too few lucky people, and it is rare to encounter them once in a few decades, so now people are faced with the darker and darker color of the missing notice, and they almost all think that this gradient color book is a chronic manifestation of the death notice!
"I wish them back." Edward sighed and shook his head, the Pioneer Church is the largest church in the world in Sibia, and the largest number of people.
However, with a large number of pioneer knights, the pioneer church is also the church with the highest number of priestly deaths every year in the entire Sibian world!
At this point, the number of clergy ranks after the Pioneer Church, the Church of the Righteous Force and the Church of the Law, and the number of people killed each year is not half of the Pioneer Church!
The Pioneer Church is crazy, especially in recent years, the exploration of the new world has entered a blowout period, and new worlds have been opened up one by one, and at the same time, there are more Pioneer Knights who have fallen forever on the road of opening up the new world.
I don't know where this pioneer knights, codenamed "Cradle", have gone, Edward is about to go on patrol, and I don't know if he can bump into this knight order, if he can, Edward will be able to bring them back to the world of Sibia.
Thinking like this, Edward straightened his robe, lifted a silver scepter and gently tapped the ground, and the next moment a pale golden curtain of light appeared in front of Edward.
The daily mission of the Archbishop of the Star Sector, the Star Patrol begins!
The next moment, Edward stepped into the light curtain and disappeared.
β¦β¦
It is an isolated island in the sea covered in volcanic ash all day long, and the active volcano erupts from time to time with a palpitating sound.
Smoke billowed and birds and beasts became extinct.
From a distance, the bare, black volcano looks like a demon's lair, exuding an ominous aura.
Accompanied by the muffled sound of the volcanic eruption, a sonorous and powerful knocking sound penetrated the sound brought by the volcanic activity.
The unique rhythm of the percussion sound tells others who there are in this dangerous active volcano that no one can enter!
Look out towards the volcano in the center of the island.
In the crater of this dangerous active volcano, there is a protruding rock platform.
On the platform, there are three humanoid figures, who ignore the extreme heat of the crater and move on this platform.
Rolling heat waves continue to pour in from the orange-red magma below.
A bearded dwarf, with a thick braid, and a swarthy hammer, stood in front of a makeshift workbench on the platform, striking the red iron in front of him one by one.
With the striking of the master dwarven craftsman, the reddish iron gradually took on the shape of a knight's sword.
"We're going to make it. With it, we can escape this world! β
I don't know if it's hot or excited, the dwarven craftsman's face is flushed, and he looks at the long sword in his hand that is about to take shape with deep eyes, but the excitement is excited, and the dwarven craftsman's hand swinging the hammer is more steady!
"We've been out of contact with the Pioneer Master for three months, so we should have already sent out the announcement of our disappearance, right?" Behind the master dwarven craftsman was a tall female swordsman with a missing right arm.
The female swordsman, who was stronger than many men, held a few broken weapons with her only remaining hand, and looked at the dwarf with the same anticipation: "...... In any case, as the head of the regiment, I must bring them all back! β
"This damn world! And that damn attacker, who the hell is that horrible guy!? β
The sturdy female swordsman gritted her teeth, and this time the "cradle" of the veteran pioneer knights was completely planted!
Planted on the peculiarity of this new world! Planted on the striage that I encountered while traveling through the New World!
This is a special world, where fighting spirit, magic, and even the holy power bestowed by the gods are all imprisoned in this world right now!
The fighting energy, magic, and holy power in the bodies of the warriors are used a little less, and they cannot be replenished.
As for the blocking, this is the most frenzied and panicked by the regiment commander Kania.
It stands to reason that the knights are in an invincible state in the process of navigating through the new world, but this time there is a problem with the "cradle".
Before the "Cradle" descended into this world, on the Void Path, Captain Kania and her team members were attacked by an unknown existence!
It was also during that attack that the "cradle" was completely cut off from Sibia.
In fact, after being blocked and entering the new world, I didn't notice that the connection with my hometown was cut off at that time, and the people of Canya were still quite excited.
Since its establishment, "Cradle" has finally discovered its first new world!
Soon, however, the nightmare struck.
The Cradle, which landed on a reef-strewn sea, was attacked again, but this time by the native creatures of the New World.
All kinds of fish-like monsters burst out of the sea, like a tidal wave, endlessly, frantically attacking the "cradle" that descended!
Their bodies are so hard that they seem to be made of steel, and their defenses are amazing.
Swords smash into their bodies, and they can even knock out a lot of sparks!
The members of the Cradle often have to put a lot of effort into slaying such a terrifying monster.
During the battle, the "Cradle" sent an urgent call for help to Sibia, and then the "Cradle" found that they were missing!
Lost, lost, or lost!
No matter how they sent a request for help to Sibia, it was as if something had intercepted it.
The front road is surrounded by monsters, and the back road is cut off for unknown reasons.
For the first time, I entered the "cradle" of the new world as the first team, and finally understood why there were so many of them, and the senior team that was on the front line of opening up the new world disappeared inexplicably.
It was at this time that the "cradle" really realized the danger of opening up a new world!
Despair began to grow......
In the midst of endless fierce fighting, the "Cradle" finally exhausted the last of their supplies, and they began to flee.
Death followed.
Originally, the knight order was full of nearly 100 people, but in the end, there were only three people left, the blacksmith of the dwarven clan, Hammer, the cradle leader Janya, and the last high-level magician Ios who had lost the slightest magic power and was completely abolished.
At this moment, Ios was lying behind Captain Canya, like a salted fish, his eyes rolled and his corpse was lying there.
Excessively squeezing his own magic power, this high-level magician Mr. Ios has fallen into a deep coma!
