Such a scene happened in more than one place, when the royal army gathered the troops provided by the various tribes, the mighty team began to step into the dense forest, the royal army sat in the center, the militia and the people took the recruited laborers to rest the land roads in the rear, and the soldiers provided by the various tribes were separated, scattered and arranged for people to command, and entered the dense forest to sweep the swamp lizards and harpies The indigenous tribes on the side of the harpy, and at the same time, these people were used to explore the way and find the hidden in the southernmost part of the continent, It is also home to the largest harpy tribe in the jungle.

Somewhere in the dense forest, in a rare flat and dry clearing south of the Long River, the garrison of the Kingdom Army rose from the ground, and the men selected from the lizardmen and savages followed the Divine Guard for training, the Kingdom Army was just the name, and the Divine Guard Army was the official establishment.

The militia and labor slaves who followed were leveling the surrounding land, widening the area of the garrison, and building simple roads, and the materials needed were everywhere in the forest, so the cost was almost zero, except for the time and manpower.

On the high platform in the garrison, Barbarossa was standing on it with the two commanders, surrounded by his own soldiers and retinue guards, all in good spirits.

Gangdia looked at Xia Duo who was adapting to the environment in the dense forest with lizardmen and humans in the distance, turned his head and smiled at the other two and said, "Your Excellency, this group of lizardmen you selected is really good, Xia Duo has been training these novices all day and night recently, in addition to eating and praying. ”

Barbarossa smiled: "It is my goal to be able to contribute to the church and the kingdom, these lizardmen are preached by my own hands, although they are illiterate and not very intelligent, but they are extraordinary talents, and they are devout believers of my lord, as long as Captain Xia Duo can train them to an average level, they are comparable to well-trained scouts." ”

Galidak sighed on the side: "Elves, barbarians, minotaurs, tigermen...... These alien races have unique talents, only we humans are ordinary, occasionally some of them are extraordinary, and they are also very rare, but fortunately, with the protection of our lord, the kingdom can grow to this day. ”

Although the church emphasizes that there is no racial barrier between believers, but different ethnic groups naturally cannot be treated equally, even in the kingdom of God, believers of different races are placed separately by Shepard, slogans and ideas are one thing, reality is another.

Barbarossa looked leisurely and said lightly: "Although human beings do not have special talents, the number of people is our advantage, otherwise we will not be able to occupy a place on the continent." He paused and diverted the subject: "The two commanders look around here, the wild grass and shrubs have been almost cleared, and when we open it, this station will also be retained, and there are already three or four suitable places found along the way, and when the war is over, we can recruit lizardmen and savages to settle down, and gradually develop into new towns." ”

Galidoc nodded: "South of the Long River, the natives have no power, nor any organization, this vast dense forest is the back garden of the kingdom, the four tribes sound good, in fact, the total population is only one or two thousand, and the organization is loose, there is no inheritance, nominally united as a country, in fact, there is not even a center that can unify the command, and now the kingdom has just entered, just to break up the organization of the natives, divided and incorporated into the kingdom." ”

"His Excellency the Bishop personally leads the priests to preach and preach, so that their hearts will be devoted to the church, belong to the kingdom, and have a sense of identity because they share the belief in the God of Light, our lord, and this matter should be urgent, otherwise after a long time, these natives will follow the kingdom and have knowledge and culture, and it will be much more difficult to integrate into it."

Barbarosa glanced at Galedok with some surprise, obviously not expecting this commander to have such an opinion on governing the place, and Gondia on the side listened silently and did not interject, obviously knowing where his shortcomings were, and did not comment on things he was not good at.

His affection for these two people increased a lot, and he continued: "Yes, the dense forests on the south bank are much more dense than the forests in the central part, and the terrain is complicated, making it difficult to walk, even if there are these simple roads, it is difficult to change the natural disadvantages of the terrain, and this land naturally cannot be governed like in the kingdom, even if the cardinal is arranged to form a diocese, he will also have to face such an embarrassing situation." ”

"It will take a long time to clean up the south bank, first digging a canal to drain away the dirty and stagnant water, so that the countless pools of water in the dense forest can dry up, so that it is easier to clean up the hidden snake people; Then cut down the dense forest to let the sun shine and dry the land, otherwise in such a humid environment, only snake people and swamp lizardmen can survive; Then the land was leveled, the fertile fields were cultivated, and the seeds were sown, so that the land on the south bank was fertile, and when it was cultivated, a piece of land would be able to produce twice the size of the kingdom. ”

Barbarossa didn't care, "I'm afraid it will take decades for these things to continue, but fortunately, I already have the faith to sacrifice for my Lord, and I hope that before I go to the kingdom of the Lord, I can finish this thing, so that the faith of my Lord can sow seeds in every corner of the south bank, so that this land will be rich and fertile, and the people who live here are the devout believers of my Lord." ”

Gondia and Galidok were silent for a moment, and Barbarossa's tone was relaxed, as if it was as simple as arranging where to go for the next walk, but the two of them had even been on the battlefield several times, and naturally knew that the time and energy required was greater than fighting a life-and-death war.

It's just that this matter is Barbarossa's pursuit after all, and the clergy of high enough rank are devout deity believers, whether male or female, sacrificing for our lord is not an empty word, but sometimes it is easy to dedicate oneself, and it is difficult to dedicate one's life to do a hard thing.

The clergy obtain divine magic through prayer, and the power of the gods flows through their bodies, so that among the professions of the same level, the lifespan of the clergy is often less than that of other professions, because the powerful process of other professions is continuous assimilation with the elements, and some professions that have reached the legend are almost elemental energy bodies.

Only the clergy have reduced their lifespan because they can't absorb their divine power, but such a thing is not a bad thing for them, but a good thing, because the gods do not approve of suicide, only glorious sacrifice is the greatest honor, and natural death is also the result of devout believers.

After a while, the messenger suddenly came running from outside the garrison and handed the battle report in his hand to the three of them, Barbarossa took it and looked at it, and handed the document to the two commanders casually, his tone fluctuated slightly: "Found it, there is a cleaning team that has been attacked by hundreds of harpies...... Almost all of them were wiped out, and it seems that the largest tribe of banshees on the South Bank is there! ”

Gangdia finished reading the report and said slowly: "The cartographers accompanying the army have also completed a lot of maps, and the day when they were originally expected to be found was only in the last few days, but now they have been discovered early, it is always a good thing, it seems that we can inform the logistics and the kingdom, we have to start preparations." ”

Galidak nodded: "That's right, there should be equipment and equipment to be delivered, and we must write to Your Majesty, asking for the three lords of Arta, Freeman and Hunter to come, and there needs to be other support to deal with the possible strong enemy, this is Your Majesty's order before we leave, before launching an attack, we must ask for assistance." ”

Within the church, the bishop is equal to the cardinal and the noble, but the strong who have reached the epic level must be raised to another level, so Galedok and Gondia, as the commanders, originally only needed normal etiquette for the bishops and nobles, but the three of Arsa, as epic knights, must be called adults, which is the respect for the strong.

Barbarossa said happily: "It took so long and lost thousands of people before and after, and finally found them, and I don't have to worry about living up to His Majesty's expectations of me!" ”

……

The wings covered the sky, gray and black almost covered the sky, the sound of flapping wings and the terrible screams of women pierced the sky, and the dense shadow-like shadow banshees fell from the sky, cunning and ferocious pounced on the enemies waiting on the ground.

"Vertical shield! Raise your gun! ”

A continuous shout of shouts rang out from the Chinese army, which was composed of the Divine Guards and the trained savages, and the one-man high wooden shield was smashed into the ground, and the half-human high wooden shield was propped up above the head, and the well-trained people formed a shield wall in a very short time.

The harpies, accustomed to hunting with claws and poison, had never seen such a defense, their claws attached to special damage such as poison, corrosion, and shadow energy were useless in front of the thick wooden shield, and a loud bang sounded from time to time, and it was a sudden banshee who crashed headlong into the wooden shield.

The sharp spear poked out from between the gaps in the shield, and without hesitation, it stabbed the banshees lying on the shield to death, and occasionally the banshees who hit the shield fell, and someone next to them immediately drew out a short sword, stabbing three times first, regardless of life or death.

"Wow!"

The piercing screams resounded in the ears, and the commander of the Chinese army was Gangdia, who was a very typical warrior, with few words, bravery, and perseverance, and the banshee with flapping wings struggled like a duck, and her sharp claws waved everywhere, and no one dared to approach for a while.

Gangdia frowned, although he was a commander, he was also a high-level professional, he pulled out the sharp short sword he carried with him, and there was a peculiar blue-green luster on the sword, which was one of the signs of the elf's production, mixed with the elf's unique alloy elf stone weapon, there would be such a peculiar color, this weapon was lighter and sharper than ordinary weapons, even in the expeditionary force, it was also the best equipment in the elite level.

Whoop –

Blackened poisonous blood splattered out, the harpy was completely the other extreme of the White Feather Witch, they were ugly, treacherous, murderous, and the blood all over their bodies was black and poisonous, and the black blood splattered on the ground, and even the young weeds suddenly withered and yellowed.

Gondia didn't care to wipe the blood splashed on the helmet with his studded gloves, he looked left and right, the warriors under his command were all concentrating on facing the banshee, occasionally someone couldn't hold the weight, the shield slipped off, and the flying banshees were like hyenas looking for carrion in the wilderness, scrambling to scratch the fallen warriors, and before the hapless young man was poisoned, the banshees had been dug alive.

There was some commotion among the nearby warriors, and Gondia's deep voice sounded, with a special soothing power: "Warriors, guard your position!" The light shelters us! ”

"Roar!"

The warriors shouted, adjusting their positions, and several people at the gap worked together to kill the banshee who rushed in, even if they were scratched, they didn't care, the banshee's toxin was not so fast, as long as they didn't die until the end of the battle, they could go to the priests of the army to get the holy water to detoxify, and someone next to them immediately rushed over and picked up the shield on the ground to fill the vacant position.

Gondia listened to the endless crashing and slashing sounds in her ears, and a trace of anxiety appeared on her face: Where are Galidak and Barbarossa?

In order to attract the attention of the harpys, the Chinese army specially chose this somewhat empty position, but it was surrounded by dense forests, so there was no need to worry about the banshees sneaking up on the side and behind them, and they knocked on their shields to attract attention when they approached, the purpose was to let them focus on the Chinese army and give the left and right armies a chance.

At this moment, in the dense forest hundreds of meters away from the Chinese army, the left and right armies also had their own division of labor, the left army was led by Galidoc, and the whole army carried throwing spears; On the right, Barbarossa led the elites supported by the kingdom to avoid the battle and charge straight ahead of the banshee tribe.

Galidok looked up at the banshees in the distance through the cracks in the trees, and said softly, "That's a lot......"

The speed of the left army did not stop, whether it was a lizardman or a wild man, they were holding something in their mouths, and they approached the middle army quietly and quickly, until the shouts of killing and the sound of impact were clear in the ears, and the leading Galledok raised his hand to stop the team.

The thousand-strong team was divided into two kinds of equipment, one was a sharp spear, and the other was a flying rope tied with two stones, and Galedok shouted in a low voice: "First the flying line, then the spear, according to the training, the captains command their captains, and all the captains guide their own men." ”

"Ready...... Above! ”

"Tonatiu!" Thousands of people suddenly shouted loudly the name of the god of light, and the momentum of this moment even made the sky above the left army suddenly brighten, and the loud shouts even suppressed the sound of the battlefield in front for a moment, and the hard-fighting Chinese soldiers were overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted, while the banshees on the attacking side were taken aback, and some even stopped in mid-air.

The banshee who stayed could only regret her actions in the next moment, although the level of throwing of the left army of the assault training was unsatisfactory, but there were too many banshees, and it was difficult to lose them with their eyes closed, not to mention that they had been training for a while after all.

For a while, a large number of banshees were tied to their wings by the flying rope, screaming and falling on the shield wall and the ground, the Chinese army did not dare to remove the shield, and the next moment the scream of the spear sounded, and the flying spear shot a large number of the banshees who filled the vacancy in front of them, and for a while the banshees panicked, the top wanted to fly down, and the bottom was lucky enough to escape to escape up, and there was chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chinese army slowly approached the direction where the left army was, and when the banshees recovered their formation and looked at them viciously, the Chinese army had already converged with the left army, and hid half of their hands in the dense forest, relying on the dense forest to quietly wait for the banshees' attack.
