Chapter 424: Return to the Surface
As the legion led by Dain had just passed through the defenses of the underground passage, the Faceless One followed closely behind. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The defenders, who had been prepared for a long time, were only half an hour away from the entrance to the surface, relying on the defenses built up in the past two years, and began a desperate battle with the Faceless One.
The commander of the defenders was Golobo, an old acquaintance of Dane, a captain of the Old Dreaded Mercenary Regiment, and a figure of no low status under Dane. It's just that when he was ordered to guard the entrance to this underground cavern with Sacco, he was severely punished by Dane for acting without permission and not obeying orders, and his future was not so bright, and he has always stayed here.
And now Golobo is no longer as reckless as he was two years ago. I haven't seen him for a long time, and the half-orc berserker, who already has eight professional levels, looks much calmer and has become a qualified field commander.
Facing the army of faceless people pressed by the darkness in front of him, Golobo was undaunted. He raised the battle axe in his hand and roared: "Glory in hand, ready to fight!" ”
There are dozens of fighters in his headquarters, and the morale is high!
That is, with these dozens of people and the defensive facilities on the defense line, they stubbornly withstood the attacks of countless enemies.
In this kind of thing, these defenders under Sacco have a lot of experience. They had resisted the attacks of the Faceless Men underground for two years, and while full-scale riots were rare, countless skirmishes with these monsters had taught them how to defend themselves against monsters outnumbered by their small numbers on such narrow terrain.
The walls are more than two meters high, and they are not as easily destroyed as the temporary structure of spells. What's more, behind the wall there are guards standing on the steps and armed with spears. The passage that was originally used for passage was also re-blocked by obstacles after the army passed.
In this case, it will be very difficult for the Faceless to break through.
Golobo's defense, under the onslaught of countless monsters, held out for a full twenty minutes.
It's good that a rudimentary defense line can hold out for twenty minutes, in fact, if it weren't for the appearance of a Nightmare Corruptor, Golobo would have lasted much longer.
But it doesn't matter, it's just the first layer of the tunnel defense. At a distance of almost two kilometers, such a line of defense is very dense, and it will be stronger than the other!
There was no need to question the line of defense that had held two underground uprisings, and in fact, the number of Faceless Ones attacking in the same amount of time was completely meaningless - anyway, the entrance was so big, a thousand people had to line up one by one, and the same was true for ten thousand.
Only, only those who are corrupted by nightmares, are the more troublesome things. However, Dane also left the two high-level spellcasters of Easterling and Finn, including the Templars he brought with him, as well as the entire legion that went deep underground and came back, all of them were handed over to Sacco to command, and the entire defense line should be fine.
At least, nothing will happen within a week.
There are three days, and that's enough. This was said by Eslor, the priest of the Temple of Orinedu, who told Dane that it would only take two to three days for the temple to complete the cleansing of Cthulhu's tentacles.
At this moment, he was holding the sealing box in his arms, and he and Eslor, riding in pairs, rushed towards Orinedu as fast as possible.
It's just that they are followed by a drag oil bottle.
“…… Lord Dain, what exactly do you want to do with this monster? ”
Freya survived in the end.
The female knight had been on the verge of death in battle and was weakened. But fortunately, after being saved by Dane in the end, the female knight has somewhat recovered some of her state during the journey back to the surface. And at this moment, when she saw Dane and Eslor hurrying away with Cthulhu's tentacles, she also hurriedly summoned a celestial war horse to chase after her.
The sticky Dane didn't want to deal with the female knight, but Freya didn't seem to be about to give up. Only to hear her continue: "This tentacle contains the power of the evil god, Lord Dain, you will not be unaware of its danger, please do not have the intention of wanting to take this thing for yourself, it is a very dangerous thing!" ”
Dane glanced back at the female knight, a little speechless in his heart - the female knight had such a misunderstanding.
He said, "So that's what you're worried about? Rest assured, I don't have the heart to see this thing as a treasure. Such an evil thing is bound to be purified by the gods! ”
Freya nodded and said, "Since the lord understands, then you should leave this matter to us to deal with." We'll bring it back to the Basilica of the Holy Child, and we won't let it affect your territory again. ”
Joke, how could Dane possibly agree to this request from Freya? Otherwise, what did he do with such an old nose to get this thing out of the ground? Isn't it just to be sacrificed as a sacrifice?
There is no doubt that Dane categorically rejected this request of the female knight.
However, there is also a saying for rejection.
Dane said, "No, Priest Eslor said that she can purify this terrible monster in the nearby temple of Shiloh in Orinedus, and she doesn't need to take it to the distant Basilica of the Holy Child." ”
Freya was a little anxious, she thought about it for a long time, and came up with an excuse: "But...... The purification effect in the Basilica of the Holy Child should be better. The Cathedral of the Holy Child is one of the best cathedrals in the whole world, blessed by the gods, and the priest of the West Far......"
Dane sneered inwardly, not believing it at all.
There are indeed some differences in which church to perform the purification. For example, the chief priest of Western Far, as Freya said, is a very famous high priest of the Holy Light in the world of Orodic, and he is a legendary powerhouse. In addition, the Cathedral of the Holy Child has the advantage of being an out-and-out holy place, where the purification of Cthulhu's tentacles is, of course, the most secure success rate, and there is no fear that the purification will fail.
But Dane was able to see people's hearts better.
Obviously, if the tentacles of the old evil gods could be brought back, one can imagine how much Freya would be rewarded for it, and how much benefit the people and places who presided over such a sacrifice would be.
He looked at the female knight and sneered secretly in his heart. If there is no system, not a sacrifice and such a thing as a reward, Dane doesn't mind being a favor. However, of course, it is not possible now!
