Silverwood Town, where the Dawn Peacekeepers are located.

Freeman stood on the training ground with his sword in hand, closed his eyes and meditated, and after a long time, he let out a low cry, and the sword suddenly rose high as if it was about to pierce the sky.

"Glory to the sun!"

The sunlight shining on him suddenly doubled, and the eight cathar knights stood behind him, and suddenly felt the warm sunlight flowing like water, dyeing everyone with a layer of gold, and when the golden light converged, there was still a layer of golden light curtain enveloping the nine people, and waving the sword in his hand would leave a golden afterimage, whether it was attack, defense, recovery and abnormal state resistance, it was improved.

The nine knights formed a battle, silently prayed in a low voice, and the light curtains gradually connected with each other, not only did the strengthening range increase again, but the enhancement effect on the nine people also increased by one point.

Freeman checked it and was very satisfied with the effect, the nine knights covered in golden light were like angels descending, standing in front of the two armies, and not having to make a move was a mental blow to ordinary people.

He looked at the other eight knights and smiled: "It's finally done, thank you for your hard work." ”

The knights chuckled in a low voice: "The general is polite. ”

Freeman heaved: "The big war is coming, although the strong men of the Maclay people are almost dead, but it is difficult to protect that there are still epic existences that want to resist, if the Macray people choose us as the target of the attack, with the nine of us joining forces, whether it is the strong man who may exist or the lava snake, it should be able to fight or block." ”

The knights nodded silently, very clear about their responsibilities, Freeman was relieved to see this, and wanted to say something more, but suddenly his face changed, and the half-human height of the light suddenly enveloped him, but feeling the divine power, his expression relaxed again.

A burst of information was transmitted to his mind, Freeman's expression changed from surprised to moved, subconsciously nodded again and again, and waited for the light cluster to get smaller and smaller, before revealing the sacred scepter in it, the scepter suddenly fell, Freeman subconsciously stretched out his hand, just holding the scepter in his hand.

"My lord!"

The eight knights and Freeman knelt down subconsciously, not for a certain person, but for the scepter and the power, the light lord of the nine people's faith, Tonatiu.

With a buzzing sound, the last trace of divine power turned invisible, and the breathtaking sense of majesty disappeared, leaving only the scepter quietly held in Freeman's hand, and the eight knights looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Freeman coughed lightly, lifted the scepter slightly and explained: "My lord has given me a divine favor, and asked His Majesty to give us the scepter for temporary use to deal with the possible attack of the lava snake on us, but the divine power in the scepter can only be used once, once used, the scepter will be recalled by His Majesty, so it must be used at a critical moment." ”

The eight knights looked at the scepter in Freeman's hand with envy, not talking about the possible meaning behind it, but only saying that the facts in front of them were also the favor of the gods and the trust of His Majesty the Pope, and others could not envy it.

Freman cherished the scepter at his waist, looked up and said, "Okay, everyone, put our armaments in order, we must be ready to face a big war at any time!" ”

The eight knights said solemnly: "Yes! ”

……

Near the city of Canteco, nameless hills.

Freeman was followed by a dozen knights and clergy standing at the top of the hill, Millie with him, and an army of 2,000 men camped at the foot of the hill.

The military appearance is quite neat, because the backbone of the frame is brought by Freeman from the Divine Guard, so this military appearance has a lot of the style of the Divine Guard, although the morale and strength are too much inferior to the Divine Guard, but it is also carefully selected by Freeman, and the team brought out by one hand, as long as it is not face-to-face, it can also deter others.

However, at this time, the minds of everyone on the hill were not here, but looking into the distance, and at the edge of the line of sight, a row of thin black lines slowly approached.

"The Macrés left behind the women and the old people and children who could not take up arms, and the rest of the people were all dispatched, and it seems that they have come to their senses."

Freeman looked at the thin black lines in the distance, and even if he couldn't see clearly, he knew in his heart what it was.

Millie had a light smile on her cheeks, but her eyes were very indifferent: "What if they all die in battle, and only the women and children are alive." ”

There was also a strong wind blowing on the top of the hill, and Freeman sneered: "The Macray people have always been like this, they have a tyrannical temperament and value honor and courage, and they are open to death, and as for the survival of the tribe, they must not have considered it. ”

Nashuris, who was dressed as an attendant, stood aside and asked curiously, "General, what about the lava serpent that the Makere people believe?" How didn't you see it. ”

Freeman glanced at him, Nashures was the sister-in-law of Baron Penman, His Majesty the Pope asked him to take it with him, not only to cultivate, but also to appease the baron, so he patiently explained: "The lava snake is the totem and belief of the Makere people, but its temperament is more than ten times more tyrannical than the Makere people, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not attack the Makere people if you stay around, and the volcano where the lava snake sleeps is not far from here, I think they must have arranged another person to wake up the big snake, and then lure it to Cantaico City." ”

Nashures nodded suddenly, and at this time, a burst of muffled thunder came from the sky, and it seemed that heavy rain was about to fall, but a few people looked up, and there was a dark cloud in their field of vision, but there was a black smoke like a pillar of heaven rising in the distance, and after looking at it for a while, several people changed their faces.

"Such a distance...... "One knight muttered to himself, but he could tell at a glance that the pillar must be very far away, so that he could still see clearly, and when he got closer, he wondered how spectacular it would be.

Freman looked at Cantec City, the Sand tribe began to migrate one step earlier, and now Canteco can't see half of the tiger people around, but the Minotaur tribe is trapped in it, at this time the news of the Macray people's march has also come, Canteco City is in a panic, the three human vassal tribes and the slaves of the [Beacon of Freedom] are in a mess, hurriedly gathering people to prepare for defense.

However, with the muffled thunder sounding continuously, although there was no black smoke in the city of Cantaico, but in the chaotic scene, there was a shaking of the ground, as if an omen of an earthquake was coming, although the sound could not reach the hills, but Freeman just looked over there, and seemed to hear the panicked screams.

"I'm afraid Canteco City is going to be unlucky." Freeman smiled faintly, he didn't mean to help at all, and everyone behind him reacted the same, those vassal and slaves of the Maclay people had previously hindered the spread of faith in the church, and then they were unwilling to submit to the kingdom and the rule of the church, and now they were chosen by Maclay as targets, which can only be said to be unlucky.

Including the Thunder Tribe, all the tribes occupying Canteco City only saw the convenience and importance here, but they didn't think that there were only two cities and one town in the Makere Kingdom that were the most important, and the towns in the south were mixed with forces, so the remaining Canteco City was the deepest shame in the hearts of Makere's people, and even if these belligerent madmen fought to the death, they would definitely have to bloody Canteco City.

The rumbling sound of the ground kept ringing, but the volcanic eruption was not a real earthquake after all, and even the shaking of the volcano was tossed by the lava snake.

Unfortunately, they were in the middle of the city, and they couldn't see the distant fire, which was the forest near the crater that had been ignited, and a sea of fire was approaching the city of Cantaico at a very fast speed.

"Oops." Seeing the speed and area of the fire at the edge of the field of vision, Freeman was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said to the people behind him: "Immediately reorganize the troops, there is a small lake four or five miles to the south, everyone go to camp nearby, half of the knights stay here to protect the clergy with me, I underestimate the strength of the lava snake, if the army is still here, I am worried that it will be trapped here by the fire, if there are only a few of us, no matter what the reaction will be much faster." ”

The knights hurriedly received the order, and Freman instructed: "After encamping in the vicinity, divide the men to clear a road from that side to this place, which does not need to be too wide, but it must be easy to walk, and there are either forests or grasslands and farmlands near the city of Cantaico, and when the fire is ignited, the city of Cantaico and the people of Makere will be finished, and some people will inevitably flee to this side, and when they flee along the road to the vicinity of the camp, they will all be taken into custody, so as to gain the population for the kingdom and save their lives." ”

"Those who have been saved can still be escorted up to widen the road, so remember my words and act immediately."

The knights walked down the hill to find their men, and the half-built camp had to be abandoned, and the two thousand Dawn Peacekeepers gathered up what they could take with them, and drove in the opposite direction of Cantaico.

The Holy Maiden Millie led several clergy to bow their heads and pray to the gods, judging from the gold thread of the priest's robe, in addition to her, there is another priest who has reached the intermediate level, and the rest are still low-level priests, and the reason for not being promoted is not necessarily piety, but it may also be talented.

Priests can't accept too much divine power, so that progress is slow, unless the gods send down divine grace to consume divine power to help advance, otherwise they can't quickly improve the priest level, but ordinary clergy if they don't have great merit or special talents, how can they have this kind of good luck.

“…… Lord of all light, the only sun god, who controls dawn to dusk......"

Low prayers rang out on the hills, and priests, knights, and squires all prayed together reverently, until the simple prayer ceremony was over, and the panic and tension that had been so small had disappeared.

Freeman slapped his armor casually, and said in a heroic voice: "Come, let's see how strong this almost legendary lava snake is!" ”

He looked forward to the tiger's eyes, high spirits, that kind of confidence and courage radiated from the inside out, not only Millie's eyes lit up, but the other priests and knights looked at the young 'general' with a lot of respect, especially seeing that a strong enemy was about to approach, but he was able to be so calm and optimistic, which also had a surprising benefit for stabilizing the morale of the army.

The more danger and pressure some people face, the more sharp they are as sharp as a sword that has been sharpened, and Freeman's amazing swordsmanship happens to be such a character, his will and fighting spirit not only did not thwart in the face of powerful magical creatures that could destroy cities and countries, but instead broke through.

Blood flowed in his body like flowing magma, the temperature seemed to be real, and he was red like a boiled prawn, the divine scepter on his waist shook slightly, and a touch of divine light enveloped him, suppressing the restless blood.

The red color receded, and Freeman was surprised: "What happened?" Why did I feel hot all over my body just now? ”

Millie looked at him with some worry and some surprise: "I don't know, but the power of my lord came just now, dispelling that strange state for you, with the protection of my lord's divine power, I think you will be fine." ”

Freman just mentioned it casually, he was full of confidence at the moment, his self-confidence was inflated, and he felt that even if there was a great danger in front of him, he could face it fearlessly, and he would return to the arms of the gods if he died, so he laughed and said: "My lord controls the world and is the only sun god, Millie, you are right, I have never doubted the power of my lord." ”

From a distance, the Lava Serpent was far farther away from Cantaico than the Maclays, so although the flames were rising in the distance, the heat and flames had not yet reached the area, and the Maclay were getting closer and closer to Canteco, and even Freeman could vaguely see what weapons those men were holding.

Cantec City has no danger to defend, and under heavy pressure, it is impossible to let the human forces in the city and the Thunder Tribe reach an agreement, and in the end they can only defend in separate parts, some build some simple fortifications on the spot, some occupy houses and squares, and some plan to go out of the city to resist in a hot mind.

Although everyone's reaction was incomprehensible for a while, when the Makere people were about to start attacking, Freeman was finally surprised to find that there were still many places in the city that were still in chaos, and in contrast, the Thunder tribe was the calmest, because they originally built the area where the tribe was located as a camp, and all kinds of simple fortifications and defense equipment were very complete.

Freeman listened to the faint shouts of slaughter, and the Makere fearlessly rushed at the inhabitants of Canteco who tried to stop them, whether they were old people, young people, or children, all armed with weapons and yelling at their own kind who were originally their slaves or vassals.

The broken limbs and blood suddenly became tragic ornaments, and everything was equal in the face of death, whether it was laughter, roaring or screaming, the hot blood flowed out of the body and flowed on the ground, and the first line of confrontation between the two sides suddenly became a forbidden place for the living.

There is no need to look further, although the forces of Canteco City that went out of the city to resist the Makere were quite numerous, but only a few minutes after the collision began, they were forced to retreat by the fearless Makere people.

Freeman stared at the battlefield, pondered for a moment, and then turned back and said, "Millie, please release the [Sacred Fireball] into the sky with the priests. ”

"Now? To the sky? Millie was surprised, "Freeman, I must remind you that my lord's power is not to be wasted, and any clergy who does so will lose the grace of my lord. ”

"Believe me, I have more reverence for my Lord than you, and there is a reason for my request, only the firelight of the fireball explosion can make Canteco City notice, and the Thunder Tribe is still ignorant of the impending danger, so that they can not be at a loss when the danger comes, and this is also to guide the survivors to flee in our direction." ”
