Chapter 132: Lionheart City
A day or two later, in the morning, at the gate of Hailan Town.
"Click"
A neat line of minotaur soldiers walked out of the town, and at the front were two teams of two hundred magic swordsmen led by Asaph.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the team of demon swordsmen behind has a sense of disobedience, they are all expressionless, their movements are uniform, and even the distance of each step is not bad at all, just like a group of sophisticated fighting machines.
They weren't really Minotaur Demon Swordsmen, but were transformed from a viscous aggregate.
Just a few days ago.
After devouring a large number of crystals, the mimic life Pippen finally began its first split, splitting a total of a hundred sticky aggregates, including five elite units.
During this time, with the abundant supply of crystals, Pippen's energy strength increased extremely quickly, and the strength of these viscous aggregates also increased, and they could already completely simulate advanced creatures.
Immediately behind the Minotaur Demon Swordsman were thirty flame elementals and twenty guardians of nature.
Left side of the doorway.
"My lord, let me go with you, I'm familiar with the affairs of the army, and I may be able to help." Lilith spoke.
"Yes, my lord, this monster riot is strange, it is safer to bring some more elite soldiers." John also said.
"The main force of this battle is the two imperial legions, and our summoned lords are only used as auxiliaries, and the danger is not great, so you can stay in the territory with peace of mind." Barr looked at the few people in front of him, "Sea Blue Town is our base camp, and there must be no room for mistakes. ”
"After I left, John and Lilith were in charge of the affairs of the territory, and Bart was in charge of leading the troops to clear the surrounding monsters."
"Yes."
"Hmm~"
Lilith and the others all responded.
"Captain Gna, Priest Amos, the rest of the matter will have to be taken care of by the two of you." Barr turned his head to the side. Behind Bart, there stood more than two dozen professionals in golden armor, and Amos was beside him.
Standing at the forefront was a burly werewolf warrior, about thirty or forty years old, carrying a large exaggerated single-edged giant axe on his shoulder, and his fierce aura was overflowing, which made people daunting. He is Gnar, the captain of the Frost Moon Blue Wolf Cavalry, and a level 129 leader-level berserk knight.
To his left is Helena, the vice-captain of the cavalry team, a female mage who is also a leader.
The entire Frost Moon Blue Wolf Cavalry Team, including the captain and deputy captain, is all level 120 or above, except for the two leader-level captains, the rest are all rare elites, and their combat power is very amazing.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, all of us will swear to protect the safety of the Divine Envoy and the territory." Barron said firmly.
In the agricultural church, the oracles are the right and left hands of the gods, and they have a noble status almost equal to that of the pope, and as followers of the goddess of agriculture, they must protect the safety of the gods even if they are all killed in battle.
"Lord Baal, Priest of Barth."
"After learning about the abnormal situation of the monster, I have applied to the headquarters for approval, and sent a team of paladins to Hailan Town, plus the knights of the Agricultural Church, it will be foolproof." There was a hint of respect in Amos' words.
As a priest of the Church of the Sea, he knew very well what an oracle was like.
The person who can be selected by the gods to become an envoy either has great strength or has demon-level potential, no matter which of the two, it is bound to be a small setback that will stand at the top, he has a good relationship with this divine envoy in advance now, and maybe he can follow it in the future.
"And this Minotaur Lord, not only is he the nephew of Duke DeWitt, but also has a lot to do with Young Master Yate, and after his subordinates become oracles, they are still loyal to him, which is too good." Amos felt some envy in his heart.
He had worked hard for so many years to finally reach the position of priest.
And even if the minotaur lord in front of him doesn't do anything, he will definitely be a big man he can only look up to in the future, and his fate is too unfair.
"Thank you." Barr thanked.
When he went to Bart two days ago, he learned that when Bart agreed to become an oracle, Brenda and Anse El left with the seeds of the flaming potato, leaving him in vain, and he had no choice but to think of another way.
It's only been a day.
The Frostmoon Blue Wolf Cavalry came to Sea Blue Town, and upon questioning, they learned that they were originally the guards arranged by the Agricultural Church for the oracle of Bart.
The arrival of this powerful combat force surprised Barr.
Every time a professional goes through a advancement, the overall strength will be greatly improved, and as the rank gets higher and higher, the increase will become more and more amazing, even if it is an ordinary professional who has completed the second advancement, it will not be much weaker than the current Baal, not to mention the elites and leaders of the cavalry team.
With the addition of these strong reinforcements, Barr was also relieved and decided to set off with his troops.
"My lord, the soldiers have all assembled." Asaph walked over and said.
"Hmm."
Barr looked up.
The total number of people in the team was five hundred and fifty, and they also carried fifty Storm Repeaters, and at the front were more than two hundred Sea Blue Town soldiers in a neat line, and the soldiers in the back looked chaotic and equipped with various equipment.
"Adventurers are really unreliable." Barr shook his head.
He was ordered to take 500 people with him, and he had planned to bring some aboriginal professionals in addition to these recruited soldiers, but the sudden appearance of a regional event prompt made him change his mind.
If nothing else, regional chests are a good thing.
And this time it was only as a support support, and there was not much danger, so he finally decided to start the event, and according to the system improvement, there would be more than three hundred adventurers to join his team.
As soon as the event was opened, the system held a martial arts tournament among the adventurers in Sea Blue Town.
The top 300 adventurers in the conference have the qualifications to participate in this event, in the last bandit extermination battle, the adventurers gained a lot, this time their enthusiasm is also very high, after more than a day of competition, these 300 people in front of them were successfully shortlisted.
"Let's go, Asaph." Barr turned.
A few subtle spatial fluctuations flashed in the air, and a monster more than two meters tall appeared beside Baal, the monster had four legs and hooves, the body was about the size of a tiger, more than four meters long, and its body was covered with pale blue lumpy bone armor.
This is an advanced mount that Hailan Town has just domesticated not long ago, Hoof Wind, which is not only extremely good at running, but also has good strength in its own right.
The two rode on the hoof, joined the group assembled on the side, and soon disappeared into the distant horizon.
......
Rumbling, the group crossed the river of Sumo and continued eastward.
"My lord, at our current speed, it is estimated that it will take more than two days to reach the Twin Cities, and now the monster activities outside are quite frequent, and it may be difficult to camp in the wild." Asaph glanced back, the adventurers' mounts were so poor that the speed of the team could not be raised at all.
Fortunately, with the bonus of the adult's lightning combat method, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to reach the Twin Cities in three days.
"I don't know what the adults are going to do, why are you carrying all this burden."
"Well, we're resting in Lionheart City for the night today, and we'll buy some supplies by the way." Barr smiled, "Although Lionheart City is only a small city, the North Wind Trading Ground in the city is famous, so it's a good time to check it out." ”
"Understood, sir." Asaph nodded.
......
It was getting dark, and the group finally entered the Lionheart City to get it.
Recently, monster attacks have been frequent, and there are very few pedestrians and caravans on the road, and Baal and the others have also encountered several small monsters along the way, but fortunately, these monsters are not of high level, and they were quickly defeated, and they still rushed to Lionheart City at the scheduled time.
Lionheart South Gate.
"Stop, who are you, what are you doing in Lionheart?" On the right side of the city gate, the captain of the lion guard wearing light cyan leather armor flashed over, and the guards behind him also cheered up and put their hands on the weapons on their waists.
"I'm Baal, the lord of Sea Blue Town, and this time I'm on the orders of the Empire, and I need to stay in Lionheart City for one night, please let me go." With that, Barr showed his Centurion token.
"Commander of the Minotaur Legion."
"Quick, let go!" The captain of the guard turned around and shouted, retreated to the side, and said respectfully, "Lord Bal, the city lord has already ordered that all imperial troops passing through Lionheart City can temporarily go to the barracks and station, I don't know who you are?" ”
"Okay, let's go to the barracks." Barr thought for a moment.
"My lord, please follow me."
Led by the captain of the guard, the group quickly settled in the barracks.
These days, the incident in the Blackstone Mountains is in an uproar, and the lords of the surrounding villages and towns are even more in danger.
In order to stabilize the situation, the matter of the two legions going south also spread under the propaganda of the empire intentionally or unintentionally, and many lords in the surrounding areas received the imperial conscription order, and began to assemble in the direction of the twin cities one after another, and there were many passing by Lionheart.
Before Baal arrived, the captain of the guard had already received three teams of lords.
......
The North Wind Trading Ground, one of the most famous trading places in the northeast of the empire, is the owner of Earl Joyce, the lord of Lionheart, because Sea Blue Town is not far from here, and Baal has heard of it a few times, but today is the first time to visit.
"Pippen, it's hard to come out once, do you need anything other than crystals?" Barr looked to Pippen, who had used his mimicry abilities and turned into a minotaur who resembled Asaph by eight points.
"My current energy strength has reached the upper limit, if I want to break through, in addition to crystals, I also need to devour some ores containing pure energy, preferably dark attributes." Pippen said that with the increase in energy intensity, it has gained the ability to simulate pronunciation.
Pippen was originally evolved from a dark attribute viscous aggregate, and dark attribute ores are naturally the most suitable for it.
Crossing the city's central square to the west, the two soon reached a small two-story building.
"Two guests, welcome to the North Wind Trading Grounds, please inside." At the door stood two rows of handsome maids.
"This is the North Wind Trading Grounds, so small." Barr looked at the building in front of him in surprise, this building covers an area of only 1,000 square meters, although it can't be said to be small, but it has nothing to do with the market.
