In the main temple of the church city, Shepard, who had joined forces with the will of the mainland to deliver that blow, smiled and withdrew the scepter, and said to himself, "I actually ran away without knowing the opportunity...... It's very good, but do you think there are many people in the north but there are no strong people? The water in the Church of the Gods is much deeper......"

However, it is naturally a pleasing thing for the great enemy to run to harm his own enemy, that blow destroyed the portal, although it failed to seriously injure the fire demon, but it scared it, it is rare to come to the main plane, it does not want to collide with the strong man of the human race immediately, even if it fights to the end, it will not make much.

The fluctuating divine power is like a miracle, although Shepard has collected all the scepters, but he has not used so much divine power for a long time, the aftermath still makes the main shrine dazzling, the divine aura permeates the air and all around, and the solemn atmosphere makes all the people in the main shrine kneel down and pray for blessings.

In particular, the closeness of the will of the mainland makes anyone born on this continent have a heartfelt trust and attachment to Shepard, and the people who were originally praying in the square in front of the main temple are now more pious, and the residents of the entire church city are inexplicably moved from their hearts, and subconsciously pray silently in the direction of the main temple.

"Wow!"

In the side hall, the holy woman and the maid who took care of the Holy Son also subconsciously knelt on one knee, silently reciting the name of the God of Light and praying sincerely, and the Holy Son Wow Wow cried a few times, but the baby's eyes showed a look of awe, and the two fleshy little hands also hugged each other, paying homage to the majestic existence.

……

The benefits of the miracle should be fermented slowly, and without Shepard's arrangement, his subordinates will consciously seize this opportunity to firmly deepen the faith of the God of Light.

The main temple is expanding more and more, and in recent years, there has been little mention of moving to [Arnoor Lund], after all, the population and facilities there are not as sufficient as those of the church city, so Shepard will put this down, and wait for a hundred years to see where the land of the five cities is the most prosperous.

In the apse of the temple, Shepard sat on the papal chair, with his men on either side lined down the gradient, the cardinal and several bishops and saints who were qualified to participate in the proceedings on his left hand, and the backbone of the Church's military and ministers in charge of secular affairs on his right.

Today's kingdom is not the day when it was poor and white, at that time, there was an Artha awakened bloodline under Shepard's command, and now although there is no knight with a third bloodline in the kingdom, there are a lot more high-level professionals, such as the scout captain Xia Duo who is in the north to spy on the intelligence of the Divine Guard.

Warriors who awaken the power of the bloodline have always been rare resources, but the innate attributes of the human race in the Deranor Continent are higher than the average value of humans in the Old Continent, and after having the inheritance profession, the proportion of the best of the best is naturally much higher.

What's more, Shepard attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, needless to mention, the kingdom will select talents every year, and put them into the military camp on time for training, during which the food is borne by the kingdom, such an arrangement is rare even in the old continent, and many expeditionary slaves are willing to return to the kingdom after crossing the hurdle in their hearts.

In addition, there are doppelgangers who spend money on procurement resources in the Old Continent, and they are transferred to the kingdom through the half-plane, and there is no trace of this figure, which not only pulls the attraction of the Prell Territory to merchants, but also contributes a lot to the improvement of the armament of the Dawn Kingdom.

Shepard looked around and saw that his team had tripled, and he felt joy from the bottom of his heart, and he smiled and said, "There are three things that have gathered you today, one is that the New Year is approaching, and you still need to work together to do a good job, and live up to the grace of my Lord; The second is that the monsters in the abyss have come to our world! Although I have repelled it with the help of my lord's divine power, and caused this monster to flee to the north to plague the invaders, neither the Divine Guard nor the city of Anan must be slackened, and must remain vigilant to prevent the monster from going south; Third, at the request of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, after the New Year, the Kingdom will send troops to the west to join the army of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and attack the Kingdom of Olbia. ”

None of the people below raised any objections, not only because the Pope was so majestic that he did not dare to disobey it, but also because they had mentioned these things in the ordinary deliberations, and when they talked about it at this time, it was just a summary and an explicit order as a formal arrangement for the next step.

As the commander of the Divine Guard, Krama's temperament is very different from a few years ago, but he is physically disabled and his strength is average, so he knows that His Majesty the Pope is giving him grace as a reward, so he is usually extremely cautious and low-key, and allows the newcomers promoted by His Majesty the Pope to control the Divine Guard.

The kingdom divides 1,000 people into a group, 300 people as a column, in fact, the column is the normal number, even in the expeditionary force, there are few attacks of thousands of people, otherwise the expeditionary force organizes tens of thousands of people to push over, and then there are priests to boost morale and rescue the wounded, even if there are those natural spirits and totem spirits hindering, they can also fight for loss and tear and sweep across the entire continent, how can it be delayed for so long, this is the system, atmosphere and historical legacy of the old continent, the reasons are innumerable, and it is not clear in a few words.

Although there is no such problem in the Drano continent, it is limited to the insufficient number of people and cannot afford it, such as the slave camp in the wilderness is controlled by the cultists, and thousands of slaves are sacrificed, this kind of thing can only happen in the expeditionary force, and in the Dawn Kingdom, the church's tentacles have penetrated into all aspects, and the problem has long been discovered.

Tesser's Eastern and Western Route Army attacked the Amm Kingdom, but also relied on the emptiness of the Amm Kingdom, and later if it wasn't for the promotion of the church, it would have stopped south of the Esmere River, and the clone encountered that encounter because the news was not sent, and the forced Eastern Route Army had to face it, and there was no way to escape from the life and death moment, whether it was the nobles or the priests, they were fighting against the water, if they attacked normally, it was impossible to risk casualties and fight hard.

At this time, the four deputy commanders of the Divine Guard, each with a regiment, and their own personal guards, but they can only lead in wartime, and each person can only mobilize ten people to protect safety in peacetime, so they have private troops in their homes, and the commander level is compared to the official knights of the Knights, all of whom have the status of lifelong knights, and can also be regarded as nobles.

Galidadoc, the first of the four deputy commanders, walked out of the queue, as a high-level [battlefield executioner], he had a bloody aura at that station, which made the clergy on the opposite side very displeased, but in front of the pope, he was very consciously respectful, because his murderous and bloody spirit was not worth mentioning at all.

Galidok said respectfully: "Your Majesty! I ask your permission for me to lead a regiment into the offensive. ”

Shepard looked at this rookie of the Divine Guard with great potential, Galidak had also taken turns to lead people north several times to help the Ruth tribe defend the expeditionary force, and all the bloody smell was left by the adventurers of the expeditionary force, and even his professional inheritance was obtained from the adventurers, but this matter was not worth mentioning in front of Shepard.

He just appreciated this person's potential, so he smiled faintly: "Galidak Qing volunteered to join, which is very good, but you would not have been left behind, the Divine Guard currently has four thousand five hundred people, some of them are guarding the north, I will send two thousand people out, and recruit another thousand militiamen, take a boat from the dock of the Long River to the Ptolemaic Kingdom, our allies will provide a team of four thousand people, and the total population of the Olbia Kingdom is only more than 10,000, which can be easily broken." ”

The three captains took their men to the north to support the Ruth tribe, and Hunter and the others returned to the kingdom, Shepard looked at his loyal and heroic knight leader, who was close to him, and smiled: "Hunter, you bring five knights to cathar and two captains, the Ptolemaic royal family is willing to let us select talents among the four thousand people they provide in order to express their gratitude, and this matter will be left to you." ”

Hunter has very complicated feelings for Shepard, he is not only the king and the pope, but also like the teacher's father, so he often looks at Shepard feverishly during the discussion, sometimes maybe his loyalty to the pope even exceeds his piety to the gods, at this time out of the queue, the action of the competent salute said: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Shepard looked at Hunter and smiled, the Knights were the real cards in his hand, the kingdom selected people from the commoners to form a militia team, recruited when needed, and no different from the civilians when needed; and selected the best from the militia to form the Divine Guard, and then selected the elite and seeds from the Divine Guard to join the Knights, so that the selection of layers ensured that the Knights were the first in the kingdom in terms of combat power and potential, and it can be said that the [Guardian Knights] with sixty-six people was not weaker than the four thousand five hundred Divine Guards, after all, this is a world where individual force is supreme.

After arranging some trivial matters, Shepard smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, the kingdom has a population of nearly 50,000, 4,500 Divine Guards, more than 400 clergy, and a total of nearly 200 people in the Four Great Knights. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will be invincible!"

When everyone heard this, they cheered together: "The light will last forever, and we will be invincible!" ”

……

The Pope directly has four major knights and a white feather witch guard composed of white feather witches, but the knights only have a few people except for the [Knights of the Cathar] and the [Knights of the Flower Crown], and the white feather witch guards are now mainly used as honor guards and ceremonial ceremonies, and the Olbia Kingdom has no strong people except for the totem spirits they believe in, so they simply do not use the knights, and only use the gods and commanders as the main force.

The totem spirit of the Olbia Kingdom is not good at fighting, and his own faith and management are also average, and he is also the bottom three weak chickens on the entire road, and the weakness of his combat power is not as good as the original Milles, who was still the goddess of spring water, if it is all, the majesty of the true god is inviolable, and it is not something that can be made casually, but it is a pity that this reproductive god is not a true god, just a natural spirit, it is okay to scare mortals by some means, and it will not be a strong man, if it were not for the superior terrain of Olbia, it would have been destroyed by someone a long time ago.

The church city sent 2,000 guards, and the three cities of the church, Yanan, and Ahagur recruited 1,000 militiamen to be responsible for logistics, and then converged at the wharf of the Long River, and the fleet of the Dawn Kingdom and the fleet of Ptolemy went west along the river together.

"Guys! Sail! Set sail! ”

The captain's roar spread across the deck, and the loaded combined fleet closed its anchor and set off slowly taking advantage of the direction of the wind, and Hunter stood on the deck of the flagship and looked at the pier of the long river farther and farther away, stunned and didn't know what to think.

The five triage knights behind him stood solemnly, because they were not wearing armor on the ship, but each dressed in knightly clothes, and guarded behind the regimental commander with swords and shields, even so, it was also imposing, so that the sailors on the deck did not dare to offend.

Hunter came back to his senses, and suddenly found that the five knights behind him were silently guarding him, and his heart was moved, and he couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing with me, this journey is still a long time, let's go back to the room and rest." ”

These five knights are all high-level, whether it is Hunter or Artha, they all have high hopes for them, the four knights have not yet had epic powerhouses, Artha sits in [Longor] to learn thousands of years of combat skills from the elves, Freeman is extremely talented, but after all, he is still young and needs some sharpening, Hunter often has a feeling of reaching the limit after awakening the power of the bloodline, and can only pray day and night for divine grace, hoping that one day he can break through the talent confinement and change to the career route of the holy warrior to break through the epic.

This time, they and Khante will be the main force besieging the spirit of faith in the kingdom of Olbia, and the breakthrough of the warriors will naturally find inspiration in the battle, and there is nothing more conducive to progress than defeating the strong with the weak, as for the possibility of death, it is completely out of the consideration of these pious knights.

The five knights who followed were Barkley, Taros, Albert, Linzer and Rysos, all of whom were skilled in war, but not experienced enough, especially the training of the apologetic knights was almost the same, and every warrior who broke through the epic had to find his own way.

Barkley is the oldest of the five, not only is he more mature, but he also has a child, but this knight's courage to sacrifice is not weaker than others, and when he heard Hunter's words, he only said lightly: "Commander, although you will no longer lead us when the Knight of Arsa returns, before we sacrifice our lives for our lord, we still hope that you can do a mobilization for us as you did when you trained before." ”

Albert was slender and the most handsome of them all, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes, Captain Hunter, we all know how risky this battle is, the false gods that the Olbians believe in will die!" We can't guarantee that any of us will come back alive, aren't you going to say something? ”

Hunter's heart was blocked, looking at the five members in front of him who had followed him since the founding of the Knights, clearing out the undead, hunting wild beasts, and hunting invaders from other continents, each of whom had a lifelong friendship with him, he couldn't speak, but he could feel the emotions tumbling in his heart.

After a long time, he sighed, clenched his fists to his chest, performed a standard knightly etiquette, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, no matter what life and death are in this battle, our kingdom of God will see you again!" ”

The five of them immediately laughed when they heard this, and saluted with their fists, their movements were uniform, and they said in unison: "Commander, see you in our kingdom of God!" ”[.]
