Chapter 511: Showdown
Paladin Dale felt that he had a big head, and the continuous accidents really tested the will of the acting commander.
In the past battlefield, the paladin legion with Lord Stannis's pressure was equivalent to unilaterally opening the whole map, and within a radius of five kilometers around, most of the enemies could not escape the perception of the legendary paladin.
And the orders from Master Stannis can be directly conveyed to the various squad leaders of the Paladin Expeditionary Force, which is not magic, but completely depends on the personal ability of the legendary professional.
Suddenly deprived of the care of the legendary paladin Stannis Baratheon, Paladin Dale felt that the entire legion was like a disabled person who had lost his eyes, ears, and mouth.
A team of paladins commanded by veteran paladin Randes lost track after going deep into the Black Forest, and the follow-up personnel found the body of a paladin forty kilometers away from the castle.
After being confirmed, it was proved that the owner of the corpse was a member of the Randers team.
And this corpse, judging from the injuries, looks like it was attacked from the sky by the caster and burned to death by the flames.
The whole time, he had no chance to fight back, and seemed to be killed by the enemy in an instant, but the secret letter he carried with him stated that they had found the witch.
In the other direction of the Black Forest, the paladins wiped out four Greenskins in a row, burning more than 500 Greenskins' corpses, but no one was found using gunpowder weapons among the Greenskins.
The greenskinned tribe that had previously teamed up with pirates to attack demon hunters and paladins as bait seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Dale Seaworth desperately hoped that outside the castle, full of chaos demons, he could complete the mission by commanding his brothers to kill the besieging enemies one by one.
However, the reality is always like this, and the paladin Dale finds himself in almost every direction of his enemies, only to disappear at all.
He looked at the demon hunter beside him with admiration, who was much younger than him, and Dale didn't know how the young apprentice did it.
It took the other party more than two months to defeat the Chaos worshippers lurking in Anthony Harbor one by one, and then cut out a territory from the hands of those stingy nobles, and then not only recaptured the territory in the hands of Greenskin, but also built it well.
What's more, this apprentice has also eliminated the threat from Chaos twice in the forest.
"What do you think I should do now?" Dale Seaworth genuinely asked the Demon Hunter for advice, "In this case, which direction do you think we should focus on first?" ”
Although in his heart, Xu Yichen did not feel that the polite and gentle man in front of him was a qualified field commander, but he had to admit that the other party was indeed facing a problem.
In fact, the Demon Hunter felt that Mr. Dale Seaworth in front of him had a very obvious Scourge physique.
Originally, Xu Yichen felt that although the Holy Samurai Expeditionary Force had a certain threat to him, at least on the bright side, it would become a shield for himself first.
But the facts have clearly developed beyond his expectations.
Within forty-eight hours of the paladin expeditionary force staying at the castle, the enemies that had been provoked by the demon hunters erupted in a concentrated manner.
Kelp and Greenskin, as well as spellcasters who suddenly appeared for unknown reasons.
And it is unknown whether there is an old rival Chaos Demon fishing in troubled waters.
"I think it's a top priority to prioritize finding spellcasters who threaten our safety, and those escaped pirates and greenskins should not be able to organize their manpower in a short period of time to take the initiative to provoke again." The Demon Hunter pondered his words, "We can help you with the witch search. ”
"I've heard some rumors of witches working with local forces in Anthony Grand Harbour, but I'm sure as a demon hunter you can't make a mistake about it, right, my friend?" Holy Warrior Dale stared at Xu Yichen's eyes and asked.
"Of course, Your Excellency Commander, my resume must be enough to prove my innocence, as well as the innocence of the entire Retribution Clan." The Demon Hunter replied without any dissension, "I can't make a mistake in dealing with witches. ”
The two men looked at each other on the city wall for more than ten seconds, and the paladin Dale said bluntly: "You have not experienced the pain we have experienced, but I must warn you that witches are not as innocent as we usually see, and countless tragedies have taught me that some people are born with original sin." ”
"I've thwarted the evil plans of the Chaos Demons four times, and I trust my eyes." Xu Yichen replied-for-tat.
"Lord Seaworth, we've spotted the trail of Team Landes!" A paladin on horseback shouted from under the walls, interrupting the conversation between the two men.
"Hopefully we can always have a good time working together." Dale Seaworth still nodded gently to the demon hunter, and then jumped down from the city wall, and the golden warhorse from the celestial realm caught the knight in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.
The demon hunter, who watched the paladins go away, turned around and walked quickly to the inside of the castle, and at the same time contacted Ji Wanbing in the player's communication system: "Take the witches out to sea, avoid the sharp edges of the paladins, be careful on the road, an unknown spellcaster has attacked the paladin." ”
Xu Yichen was thinking about whether to send the witches directly to the vicinity of Godrim City once and for all, which would not only solve the problem between the holy warriors and himself, but also strike at the Kshatriya Gang by the way.
But the news from Yang Yuefan interrupted the calculation of the demon hunter.
"I found seven suspected mage casters operating near the castle, their origin is unknown, their strength is unknown, and their targets are unknown, but it is very likely that they are coming for the [Heart of Machinery]." Yang Yuefan explained in the message: "Half of these spellcasters have been fitted with mechanical prosthetics. ”
"I will follow them until their true purpose is determined, and if the target is identified as the Heart of the Machine, I will lead them to a conflict with the Paladin Expeditionary Force." Yang Yuefan briefly said his plan: "These spellcasters are currently very restrained, consciously avoiding the sight of the holy warriors. ”
Xu Yichen was a little puzzled and told the Hell Poet about the Holy Warrior being attacked by the spellcaster just now: "It seems that we are not the only ones who want to muddy the waters. ”
"Be sure to keep the [Heart of the Machine] safe, and everything else can be discarded." Yang Yuefan replied, "I have already arranged for Vitoria to sail back. ”
The demon hunter looked at the holy warriors inside and outside the castle and smiled, "That's interesting. ”
