301. Mysterious, unfathomable
Atanis's series of high-profile actions immediately made the other forces in Yanan City nervous.
Mainly those few griffins, the pressure brought by them is greater than that of this Miya sect that believes in the creator god, this is a real air force, not a target like a floating boat, not only strong combat power, but also extremely flexible, coupled with the assistance of divine arts, the combat effectiveness has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary infantry.
If this Miya sect is willing to be ruthless, with this air force, they can easily wipe out the city, which will inevitably make the other forces feel a lot of pressure.
Ordinary bows and slingshots are useless against these giant birds of prey, and they are not strong enough to penetrate their hard, thick skin, and they must use heavy weapons such as bed crossbows to pose a threat to them.
However, the bed crossbow is a fixed thing that is an excellent target in itself, not to mention that the city is in chaos at the moment, where to find this kind of heavy equipment?
Another way of thinking is to ask the mage for help, and you should be able to barely fight these griffins?
But now that the situation is so chaotic, all the mage schools have chosen to watch the fire from the other side, protecting themselves wisely, and don't want to get involved, while the other wild mages, most of the capable ones have tried their best to escape, leaving behind some unpopular goods, how can they be the griffin's opponents?
The summary is that they are helpless with this air force and have begun to think of various methods.
Youlan stayed quietly in the room of the villa, still watching the romance, and suddenly there was a series of knocks outside the door, which startled her a little.
She hurriedly hid it, took out another crystal ball, pretended to be looking, and said in a low-level hoarse voice:
"Come in."
It was still the lobbyist last time, and said eagerly:
"Venerable, we're in some trouble..."
He hurriedly told the situation of the enemy's sudden dispatch of the air force, and asked what the mysterious old lady should do?
"There's no need to worry."
Youlan only said these four words, then kept silent, and continued to look at the crystal ball, showing a sense of profundity as if she was understanding the mysteries of the world.
When the lobbyist heard such a statement, he was naturally confused and wanted to ask.
But he looked at the strange demon in the room who was putting his hands on his hips and putting on a maniacian laughing posture, but he couldn't laugh sound, and he didn't dare to speak...
So he had no choice but to leave quietly and run to report to his superiors.
"No need to worry... No need to worry..."
The lobbyist's superior, former Visa priest Borg, paced back and forth in his office, pondering the sentence.
There are many ways to interpret these words, which can be understood as not worrying, the other side does not dare to come, I will protect you.
It can also be understood that there is no need to worry, it is useless to worry, and wait for death with peace of mind.
It can also be understood that this old lady herself does not have to worry, in fact, she will not care about the life or death of people.
Normally, the first interpretation is the most normal.
However, the other party is an unfathomable witch, and every character that is said should have a deep meaning, if it is just a simple interpretation, it is too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve.
The point is that he did not provide her with any real benefits, and the two sides did not even communicate formally, so they did not dare to expect much from her.
The priest of Borg pondered for a long time, but in the end he really had no choice, so he had to inform his deputy and find several other sect leaders.
At present, the remnants of the Visa Order do not have a unified leader, because the high-level relationships are basically dead, and the rest are middle-level priests, priests and other positions, and everyone is at the same level, and there is no distinction between upper and lower.
Therefore, at present, this remnant force is formed by the integration of the hands of several main priests, and there has been no leader for a long time.
On the one hand, this is because the Visatic doctrine stipulates that the appointment and dismissal of the priest and above must be reported to the Visa or the angels under his throne, but now it is obviously not possible, and Visa cannot respond to them, and they must follow the doctrine as devout believers on the surface.
On the other hand, several chief priests were not very convinced by each other, and they refused to give in to others, and everyone had a lot of thoughts.
They still have illusions in their hearts that if one day, Visa suddenly reacts and intervenes to clean up the internal mess, then the church will soon be able to return to its former prosperity.
And at that time, there is a high probability that the leader will be directly promoted to the high priest, and even the Pope is very likely, so wouldn't the others be dumbfounded?
This is very likely to happen, and they are all convinced that Visa is only temporarily in trouble and will soon come back to save their own believers.
They didn't even need to do much, they didn't need to resist, they didn't need to purge the infidels, they just needed to maintain the status quo and wait for Visa to make a move.
The other is to maintain his reputation and have more say, so that when he waits for Visa's return, he can seek the maximum benefit.
So don't look at the number of remnants of the Order, not only in Yanan City, but also in other regions, if they are integrated, they will be several times more than the cultists of Eas, but the leadership is generally cautious, passive, and fighting on their own, but they are at a disadvantage.
Even if there are many people of insight among them, all the colleagues around them look like this, so they are naturally powerless.
So like this Borg, who took the initiative to find Youlan, the priest of Borg, even concealed the news, and didn't dare to say to other colleagues that he planned to use Youlan as a hole card, and if necessary, he could help himself control more of the right to speak.
But now that the enemy has suddenly dispatched the air force, he feels quite tricky, and the bottom line of maintaining the status quo may not be able to be maintained, so he can only discuss with other priests what to do.
The other priests were not hard to find, and they continued to meet daily at the town hall to discuss and analyze the situation.
As soon as the priest Borg entered, the first thing he bore the brunt of was a pungent smell of wine, followed by a series of complaints and invectives:
"Where's the bed crossbow? Yanan City is an important town in the sect, and there will definitely be no shortage of such weapons, but why can't you find a single one in the warehouse? Has the annual military spending been filled into private pockets? β
"These moths of the Church deserve to be burned alive!"
"No one dares to fill their pockets under Visa's gaze, these weapons were previously kept in the armory east of the city, which is not under our control."
"What? The only weapon that can deal with griffins is in the hands of the enemy? You fools! Did you get to power by paying bribes? β
"What about the mage? In the past, there were so many mages in the country? β
"I've already talked to the school side, and they chose to sit on the sidelines under the pretext of 'non-interference in internal affairs'..."
"Whew! This bunch of dog stuff eating inside and out! β
The priest of Borg looked at this group of gaffe colleagues, shook his head weakly, and said:
"Guys, listen to me, I came into contact with a mysterious powerhouse a while ago, and she seems to be able to provide some help?"
The others were quiet for a moment, and then they all scolded:
"Borg, are you depraved? Are you colluding with foreign forces? If my lord returns, I will be the first to hang you from the streetlight! β
"Are you talking about the mysterious witch who enslaved the demons? You actually controlled her? How do you do it? β
"Why is this man in your hands? Are you ill-intentioned? Intend to use external forces to suppress us? β
"Wow, your previous move of forcibly occupying the granary and forcibly occupying the rich area made me think that you had a bad heart, and sure enough! When our lord returns, you will be the first to be reckoned. β
The Borg's head was big in the face of this group of stupid pig teammates.
There is no way, the smart people of the Order have all died outside the City of Innocence.
The rest of these people, not to mention their abilities, are in this harsh and extreme environment and atmosphere every day, more or less losing relatives and friends, and their mentality is inevitably distorted, coupled with the catalysis of alcohol, they will only become more and more crazy.
However, there were a few people who could still stay awake, gave him a look, and encouraged him to continue.
The priest waited for the drunkards to get tired of scolding before he spoke:
"Now is not the time to think about this, aren't those heretics and heavenly griffons more terrible than me?"
"I'll find a way to deal with those griffins, and if you want to, help me, if you don't, do it yourself."
With that, he brushed his sleeves out, not going to pay attention to the madmen and fools.
Two of the priests hurriedly followed him and chased him out.
The rest of the people sat in the town hall, gulping down crude potato wine, using alcohol to sustain their dreams, fantasizing about a bright future when Visa returned and he could be promoted to the position of high priest.
The priestess of the Borg looked back at the two people who came out with him, nodded slightly, and said:
"Lord Ross, Centurion Anderson, it's a pleasure to meet you here."
"However, I originally thought that the priest of Pansen would also come out together?"
The Ross priest shook his head and said:
"He's still too conservative after all, and he's still fantasizing, and it's unlikely that he'll be with us all the way."
The Borg priest sighed, and after thinking about the manpower and control area that the three of them currently possessed, he continued:
"Let's talk to my office."
As he spoke, he glanced up at the griffin in the sky and clenched his fists.
About noon, the previous lobbyist took advantage of the lunch delivery time to invite Youlan:
"The Priest Borg would like to see you."
Youlan nodded slightly, but still sat in place and fiddled with the crystal ball, with no intention of getting up at all.
The meaning is very simple, you want to see me, let him come by himself.
The lobbyist's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only retire.
Moments later, the Priestess Borg and his two new recruits entered the room and bowed slightly towards her.
"We beg for your help."
He put his posture extremely low.
Youlan followed Garlow's instructions, without saying a word, and continued to fiddle with the crystal ball.
And the priest of Russ next to him said very cooperatively:
If so, can you tell us about your purpose and aspirations? We'll do everything we can to help you get it done. β
Hearing what the other party said, Youlan thought back to Garlow's instructions, and finally spoke:
"What I'm looking for is too profound for you to understand."
Now the other side is dumbfounded...
Is this reaction also expected by Gallo?
So Gallo is so smart? Why do you feel like you're usually stupid and easy to deceive?
Youlan muttered in her heart and continued to speak:
"I followed the guidance of fate and came here to explore the mystery and the answer."
"Until then, I don't want to be disturbed."
"Anyone ......"
With that, she used the function of the Flower of Destiny to exude a powerful coercion and drive the three out of the room.
"It's... It's terrible..."
"This old woman, oh no, this respect, is she a demigod-level powerhouse?"
The Angus centurion brushed his chest hard, his face uncertain.
He was embarrassed to say that he had almost fallen to his knees just now.
The ordinary Russ priest nodded again and again, adding:
"And the demon beside her, is that the legendary Infernal Flame Demon? But with a crown of flames on his head, is it the so-called Lord of Demon Eaters? The Lord of the Fire Demons? β
"This Venerable, as described by the Borg Priestess, is unfathomable!"
The priest of the Borg priest calmed his mind and whispered:
"Don't speculate on the strength of this Venerable, maybe our words and deeds are in her sight..."
"I feel like her crystal ball is like she can explore the truth of the world."
"Let's talk somewhere else."
With that, the three of them hurriedly went back to the office of the priest of the Borg, and continued to discuss this mysterious and powerful witch.
The Borg priest was the first to express his speculation:
"I still know a little about witches, they are beautiful, low-key, mysterious, although they have a bad reputation, but they are actually harmless to humans and animals."
"It's very different from this Venerable."
"I suspect that this Venerable is an ancient witch who has lived from the time of the ancient gods to the present day!"
The priest shook his head and said:
"She, or Him?"
"In short, it doesn't matter where she came from, what matters is her statement, have you noticed? She just specifically mentioned that she doesn't want to be bothered by anyone, attention, it's anyone! β
"This means that neither we nor the enemy should bother her."
Angus centurion nodded, and then said:
"That's good news, she's quiet on our turf right now, and if anyone tries to break it, she'll do it, right?"
"That way, at least we don't have to worry about being decapitated by a griffin in the sky..."
Fortunately, Youlan couldn't hear their speculation, otherwise she would have been unable to help laughing out loud and make her character collapse.
She's just a vegetable witch, the crystal ball that explores the truth of the world, and it contains romance.
It can also be read in this way, which is quite convenient, and can project all the content in the book into it, which is not easy to expose, but it lacks the wonderful feel of turning the pages.
As for the griffons, of course they won't bother her, they are all in the same group.
