Chapter 32: The Legacy of the Scarlet Crusade

It turns out that the Scarlet Crusade has been passed down to this day, and the value has maintained a rule. That is, the number of members of the Scarlet Cross has always remained constant, and only after someone quits or dies in battle, a new Scarlet Crusader is born. This is not artificially prescribed, but due to the nature of the Scarlet Crusaders.

The original Scarlet Crusaders consisted entirely of fanatics of the Holy See, loyal and insane, fighting for their lives and fearing their enemies. As a result, although this force is brave and invincible, it cannot do what it commands, and it will not give up until it kills all the enemies. Until one time in a war with the cemetery camp, Degar, the legendary general of the cemetery camp at that time, took advantage of his weakness to design an ambush and almost wiped out the whole army. In order to prevent this from happening again, the rulers of the time turned to the Archangel Michael, the incarnation of the God of Light, for help. Michael resurrected the souls of the martyrs of the original Scarlet Crusaders and infused them into the Scarlet Altar, the Temple of the Paladins in today's Lionheart. After that, all Scarlet Crusaders are no longer recruited from among the Zealots, but instead from among the civilians, and then have the candidates enter the Scarlet Shrine to fuse the Zealot's spirit. The Scarlet Crusaders thus created not only possessed the strict discipline of ordinary armies, but could also gain the explosive power of the Zealots by inspiring their spirits. It has achieved the goal of having both fish and bear's paws.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the number of Scarlet Crusaders has become constant and can no longer be increased. Whenever a Scarlet Crusader was killed, the Scarlet Spirit on his body would return to the altar and await the arrival of the next master. There is only one exception, and that is when they are alive, people who can no longer continue to perform the duties of the Scarlet Crusade due to old age, wounded, etc., can take the initiative to pass on their spirits to others after obtaining the approval of the Legion Commander.

Darcy's purpose in returning to Ice Landing City this time was to find a suitable inheritor for the blood-colored spirit in his body. People have a selfish side, and Darcy is no exception, so he returns to his hometown to choose someone who can carry on his mantle.

"So, you chose me?" Fire Dance Maple Forest asked excitedly.

Darcy nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, my father is just a fisherman in the village near Binglin City, and I have been playing with my father on the east side of Binglin Lake since I was a child, and my mother is an elf, so I am not averse to elves. Since you also grew up near Ice Landing City, and you have completed my task within the allotted time, it is also a good choice to pass on the Divine Soul to you. ”

"No wonder Darcy swims in the east of the lake every week, he used to come here a lot." Lei Zhen thought in his heart.

At this time, Darcy said: "Next, I will inject the power of the soul into this necklace, you are next to the Dharma protector, after the soul leaves the body, I will have about 3 hours of weakness, you take advantage of the time I am recovering to absorb the power of the soul in the necklace, be sure to absorb it all before dark." Integrate the power of the divine soul, and when you reach level 10, you can directly transfer to the Scarlet Crusader" After speaking, without waiting for the fire dance maple forest to speak, he began to inject the power of the divine soul into the necklace in his hand, and at a glance, he knew that he was a quick-tempered person.

At this time, Lei Zhen was climbing quietly on the top of the watchtower, not daring to move in the slightest, although it was separated by a stone roof, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be noticed by Darcy. Although he heard that Darcy's soul would have a period of weakness after leaving his body, Lei Zhen still secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect Darcy to come to this watchtower in person, so the previous plan was basically nullified.

Although it is not a problem for this watchtower to accommodate a hundred or so skeleton archers, such a cramped environment, not to mention whether it will be interrupted by Darcy when summoning. Even if it is summoned, the Skeleton Archer's long-range attack advantage will not be brought into play at all. Not to mention a hundred, Lei Zhen believes that even if the number is doubled, in this environment, it is not Darcy's opponent.

Lei Zhen feels really uncomfortable now, he doesn't dare to move, he doesn't dare to fight, and as time goes by, his heart is getting more and more anxious.

"By the way, I still have this thing!" Lei Zhen suddenly remembered that among the three scrolls that Hader had given him before, there was a third-level magic scroll - the Lianzhu Fireball Magic Scroll. Now is not the time to save, it is important to complete the task first. Lei Zhen remembered that the height of the second-floor watchtower was only about three meters, and the diameter was seven or eight meters. "Hehe, that's it, there were grenades to blow up the devil's turret, let me Lei Zhen blow up the Crusader's watchtower with a fireball today! Almost, almost! ”

Lei Zhen knew that a series of fireballs would definitely not kill Darcy, and he was only doing this to create chaos. The watchtower he lived in was in disrepair, and it could never withstand the power of the explosion of the fireball. As long as the watchtower is blown down, and there is no hope of burying Darcy alive, as long as he can stop him for a moment, Lei Zhen can summon his army of skeleton archers outside the tower.

However, Lei Zhen can't move now, and since the separation of the soul can make Darcy temporarily weak, why not wait until he is weak to make a move? Lei Zhen thought very clearly, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Darcy's strength at least the fifth order when he was young, even if he was old now, it was not something he could easily knead, and it was still very cost-effective to wait for dozens of minutes in exchange for the weakening of Darcy's strength.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei Zhen also deliberately observed the terrain around the watchtower. Why do you look at the terrain, when you jump down for a while, you can't find a grass or land to jump, and if you jump on a stone, you can't break your arms and legs. Why do you say jump? If you don't jump for a while, you won't be buried alive with Darcy!

Hearing that downstairs Daxi had completely stripped the soul from his body and handed over the necklace carrying the blood-colored soul to the Fire Dance Maple Forest, Lei Zhen knew that the opportunity had come. Silently opened the beaded fireball magic scroll, only to see that the scroll depicted an esoteric magic array with red veins, the whole was in the shape of a six-pointed star, and the complicated lines on the inside almost didn't stun Lei Zhen's eyes. There was no time to look closely, Lei Zhen injected the magic power in his body into the scroll, he felt that his magic power was almost not consumed, and the effect of injecting magic power was like igniting the lead of the magic scroll, and he didn't have to worry about it after ignition.

Throwing the activated fireball magic scroll towards the vent, Lei Zhen turned around and ran towards the edge of the tower.

To be honest, ten meters is the height of a three-story building, and this place is not far from the lake, it is all land, and there are few stones, Lei Zhen was really not very scared when he looked down just now. But now that he really wants to jump, Lei Zhen is also a little muttered in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, Lei Zhen jumped down to the tower, and at this time he faintly heard someone asking: "What is it at this time?" Then there was a "boom".
