Chapter 20: Extinction

―――――――――――――――― Anti-theft Chapter――――――――――――

Sitting in the center of the carriage, Fira did not have the intoxication of those little nobles being complimented by the commoners, and he from different worlds had no special feelings about such a scene. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He would have paid more attention to other things, except for the elf who was a bard, and his brow furrowed as he swept his gaze to the other side: "There are too many demons, and the reaction of the Church of the Gods of Humanity is too small in comparison......"

Thinking of this, Fira turned her head and towards

"Celina, how much power do we have in this area?"

"You mean?" Celina was stunned for a moment, apparently Fira's question had caused her to have some bad guesses.

Although she had already understood something, for Celina, the answer was still necessary, and all the circumstances had long been remembered by her.

Therefore, she was only stunned for a moment, and then replied without thinking: "There is only a force composed of Angelina and Picoran in the vicinity on a hunting mission. ”

"Really?" Fira touched her chin, "Let them finish their mission and be on standby nearby." ”

With that, he looked out into the surrounding streets.

A group of guards on patrol was seen.

Originally, there weren't too many professionals around here, and the configuration of these guards was just to be able to deal with ordinary thieves and fights and other incidents, and they didn't have any strength?

And on the guards, less than half of the hundred, wore hard leather armor.

As for the mist, most of them are spears and round shields, and as for long-range weapons such as crossbows, these people are not equipped with them.

In this world of extraordinary power, the presence of these guards is very thin, even if there are legal restrictions, those professionals are greatly restricted, but they can still be ruthless against a few guards.

Therefore, these guards are also very "sensible", what is happening, they have to observe it, and then go out to manage.

Otherwise, if they are facing a strong professional, they will be in danger.

They were maimed or even killed, even if the other party was punished by the kingdom's law, but what was the use?

For them, the wounded and even dead guards, it didn't mean much.

And if they had sturdy armor and sharp weapons, they would have considered whether to use them.

Anxiety about one's own life is also a very important factor.

After all, if it is a team of well-equipped and well-trained guards, it will not be a problem to deal with the middle and low-level professionals, and if there are enough of them, that is, the high-level professionals can ignore them.

Others, even mid-to-high-level professionals, have to carefully consider whether to fight with them.

The Kingdom of Loland, the army directly under the royal family, is known for its elite.

The Royal Knights, which are composed of middle-level strength professionals, can force back the high-level professionals if they go together.

Of course, legends or something, needless to say, after the legend, it is not at all a situation where quantity can make up for quality.

Of course, this is off topic.

As Fira's eyes fell on the guards, they began to talk, and the messages came out.

"Ronko, I heard that there have been a lot of professionals in the town lately? It seems that there are a lot of people in leather armor and weapons in our guards? ”

The last two of the guards talked.

"You didn't even notice?"

A somewhat surprised voice came from front of him.

The guard, Ronko, turned his head and looked at his friend with strange eyes.

"What, what's wrong? I don't know if it's okay? The young guard was puzzled by his gaze and couldn't help but ask.

"Tut-tut." Lanco smacked his lips and shook his head, looking distressed, "You don't even know what the noble lady who hasn't been out of the house knows?" I didn't expect my brother to be so dull. ”

"I'm ......," the young guard looked a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, those guys in leather armor that you don't know are all professionals? The two guys who suddenly appeared are professionals, I heard that they were sent by the upper echelons of the kingdom, they are all retired soldiers, even the weakest, they also have the strength of lower-level middle-level warriors, and the strongest one, the one who is who is coming, is still a middle-level high-level spear knight, although he has not yet passed the professional assessment of the upper warrior, but it is estimated that it is also fast. ”

"How so? Our guards have such a ......." There is some yearning in the eyes of the young guard, he has no talent, let alone a mage, he doesn't even have the qualifications to become a professional, if it is estimated that it is correct, he can only stay at the lowest strength.

Looking at his envious look, a lonely look appeared on Langke's face, but it was only a flash, and he immediately showed a smug smile:

"You don't know, those people don't just have leather armor, but they also have a pair of metal armor, and I remember, only the captain has a pair of rusty armor. And the crossbow...... This thing is in the hands of those people, and it is also a handful of people......"

"One for one?"

The young guard was a little yearning, if he had a pair of metal armor, he probably could keep it as a family heirloom.

That's a knight's armor!

Metal armor that you can't buy for a lifetime.

In this world, things like armor are several times more expensive than weapons like swords, and they are also extremely expensive creations for professionals.

A complete and sturdy piece of armor can cover one-fifth of a knight's life savings, and in terms of value, it is probably worth a small estate.

If it is that kind of enchanted armor, enchanted by a mage or blessed by a priest, let alone whether it can be used or not, such armor will be much higher in price, and if it is suitable, the price will be even more amazing, and it can even compare to the income of all the residents of a small town for half a lifetime!

Therefore, even in the kingdom of Misola, which is famous for its oil and water, although those nobles can recruit a large number of soldiers, they will not equip their soldiers with armor at all, except for the weapons that they will check regularly, because if they do, they will not be able to afford it.

Only the royal family can be so extravagant.

If it weren't for all kinds of income and profits, I'm afraid the entire kingdom would be bankrupt by the configuration and maintenance of this army.

It is extremely difficult for the kingdom to gain a foothold, and it is even more difficult for the nobles to rise if they want to rise.

If you want to equip all 100 people, a little estimation can make an earl go from the level of "full of oil" to "crying poor on the street".

This is especially true of the Viscount of Colensa, and not to mention that it is unrealistic to change armor for them, even leather armor is not something that can be purchased at will, and only in terms of weapons, can you use some brains to make some tricks.

The previous Viscount of Colensa did the same.

You know, there are still some blacksmiths in the town, melt and knock, at least they won't be allowed to go to the battlefield with a farmer's iron fork.

But that's about it.

Compared with those forged steel swords, fine iron spears or something, "a feasible long sword" is probably a weapon that can be configured by the troops of ordinary minor nobles.

Remembering the reality, the young guard covered his forehead with some sighs.

Lang Ke looked at this friend's expression, and was also slightly stunned:

"Huh? Why did I tell him? It's obvious that I shouldn't have said it, but forget it, adults won't punish me if they know. ”

With a mutter, Ronco tightened his grip on the spear shield in his hand and continued to patrol with the team.

In the carriage, Fira pondered the message contained in those words.

"Too little....... This kind of power, if it is an important thing, still seems to be a little thin......"

Fira muttered to herself.

There was nothing strange about the upper echelons of the kingdom inserting their forces here, Fira, of course he knew about it.

All he wanted to know was the overall strength of these inserted soldiers, as well as the identity behind them.

However, such a configuration still seems to be somewhat unexpected by him.

"Young Master, why do you say that?" Xilina smiled: "Although there is only one mid-level strength on the face, there are still four knights with upper strength and ten knights with median strength in secret, and Angelina also detected that there are more than a hundred elite soldiers nearby." This kind of strength is already a manifestation of the royal family's attention to the situation in normal times...... And in order to afford this team, I don't know how to invest a lot of profits as expenses......"

"Wrong ........"

Phila shook her head, "You still haven't made it clear whether the people sent are from the Church of the Goddess of War, from the Loran royal family, or from other dukes, the handiwork of those big nobles. ”

"Are you thinking about this?"

Celina blinked, somewhat understanding Fira's thoughts.

Relatively speaking, the Viscounty of Corensa was originally a "new" territory, which "only" became the official area of the Kingdom of Lorrain two hundred years ago, and there was no permanent population, and it was very troublesome to even recruit farmers to cultivate the land.

Therefore, the Viscounty of Colensa, if it wants to have enough manpower, can only pay some money in the form of "requests", ask other nobles to support it, and sometimes have to bear the various expenses of these manpower.

In fact, if it weren't for the obvious fear of being too obvious, Fira would have cut most of the guards here a long time ago.

After all, there are a large number of ill-intentioned guys in this so-called "guard".

A bunch of guys with all sorts of ideas.

"It doesn't matter." Phila shook her head and shook the thought out of her mind.

Now he is no longer the previous Fira who only had a little talent, and the Coronsa family is not a low-level nobleman who can only rely on various opportunities to get mixed up in the upper echelons, in this world, there is already a rising big force as a backup.

At least, hundreds of knights' armor or something are completely true.

After all, such a thing is only a fraction of the price of the elemental crystals that are spent every day.

The amount of money spent on materials is far more than that.

A legendary archmage, if he took out the cost of a failed experiment, he would probably make dozens of sets of armor at will.

If they wanted to, they could earn money to build a hundred armors in a few days.

Of course, they are not like the low-level mages, who can only earn some material fees by copying spells or consigning low-level potions.

Of course, on the Bright Continent, the little nobles are definitely not easy to mix, only those churches are the real tyrants!

Even if it was caught by Phila last time, the church of the "Goddess of Flowers" to which the priestess belonged, even if it was such an unknown small church, the knights in it were all metal armor, and they also had the blessing effect of divine magic......

Although it is a flower special effect that can be soothed.

"If one day you are too poor to die......."

Fila couldn't help but think of the last time, where a clone of the wills was located, the goddess of wealth, the golden church, relying on commerce in the entire Bright Continent and even the Dark Continent to be famous.

The other party directly used precious metals to build the church headquarters, and even the ground was covered with gold bricks.

For a long time, it has been not uncommon for those poor and crazy guys to go to the church in Wohkin and smash the floor and get caught.

"So...... Should they be mobilized? ”

Phila tilted her head and looked at the pastors of the churches on the street.

Although she doesn't have the ability to be discovered even if she disguises herself as the Holy Spirit, Visser's own will-doppelganger is everywhere in the Church of the Gods.

He has already appeared in dozens of churches.

The only pity is that the highest rank is the priest.

Most of the people he has eroded are true believers, and they are not as good as the status of fanatical believers.

But that's fine, the fanatics, but every now and then they will attract the attention of the gods.

"Anta, are you there?"

Suppressing the impulsive thoughts in her heart, Fira asked the people outside the car.

"Not yet, young master! Need to speed things up? ”

"Okay, hurry up, don't worry about bumps, I'm more worried about being late than this......"

"Understood! Master! Your will! The coachman's firm voice rang out, and a powerful voice answered him.

Syllable!!!

The same powerful whip sounded, and the carriage began to accelerate.

.......

As some time passed, the speed of the carriage slowed down and drove into an open area, and then the sound of Anta came from outside.

"Young Master! It's here! ”

Fila opened her eyes and looked out the window.

The streets were clean and tidy, and the priests and priests in special robes looked very temperamental and gentle, and the peasants and mercenaries would try to keep their footsteps as low as they could when they passed by.

He was very cautious and respectful.

Stepping out of the carriage, Fira saw the tall and imposing temple building, radiating a dazzling golden glow.
