Chapter 220: What the Paladins Fear
It is difficult to domesticate red eagles, even with the strength of the Holy See, they can only keep this number within a thousand, and training red eagles is different from training soldiers, as the top birds of the food chain, they are untamed, even young birds have strong attack power, and many people are attacked and killed in the process of domesticating red eagles.
"Although the Red Eagle has a strong attack power, it is necessary to take into account the climate and environment, and fighting in the snow is not the Red Eagle's strength, they prefer warmer areas. Xilan rubbed her brows, "After this snow stops, I will organize the paladin to lead the team and go deep into the Shadow Mountains to explore, the battle situation of passive attack is too disadvantageous, we must understand the enemy's situation before we can make a way to deal with it." ”
"I'm going to the depths of the Shadow Mountains to see if the tower, which reaches into the sky, is as terrifying as it was rumored,"
"That tower is the companion of the Apostle?"
"In the Hadith, when the apostle appeared, there was always a strange structure that appeared, and that was its lair, and there would be a pillar of light that would soar into the sky, which was rumored to be the entrance to hell, but I heard that this time there was no pillar of light in the Shadow Mountains, only the tower. Xilan pondered for a moment: "Does this mean that the apostle's advent has been deviated, and its true body has not yet fully arrived?"
"But the little scum under its command has given us a lot of headaches, and the only good news is that the dragons are killing the Green Goblins on a rampage, which has helped us a little, and they don't seem to have a harmonious relationship with each other as hellish races. Priest Tano laughed, his voice hoarse like a worn-out bellows being pulled.
"We don't need to care about the battle between monsters and monsters, there have been no strong people born in those green goblins for many years, and a scattered team will definitely be slaughtered by the dragons, these green goblins are the soldiers left by the previous apostle, and they will naturally be eliminated before the new apostles arrive. ”
"The Hell Monarch's sense of race is particularly strong. ”
"It's ironic that it took us humans nearly a hundred years to completely deal with the Green Goblins in the Shadow Mountains, and we didn't expect them to be slaughtered by our own kind. The Temple of Tano sighed self-deprecatingly.
"Cannibalism between the same kind has always been the most ferocious, and human beings can't avoid it, the five kingdoms of the continent, no, now it's time to say that the four kingdoms launched wars for interests, the losses caused by the war are more than a thousand times the number of casualties caused by the monsters," Xi Lan said coldly: "If the continent has already been unified, and the strength of the continent is gathered to attack the Shadow Mountain Range, I'm afraid that even hell will be conquered by us, because of fighting each other, we have lost too many opportunities." ”
"It's too early to tell......"
"If it weren't for the sudden change in Iron Rock City, I would soon have to lead my troops into Dawn. Xilan said with a little regret: "In order to unify the continent's plan, Your Majesty has made a very thorough arrangement, but I didn't expect the Shadow Mountain Range to change, according to Your Majesty's calculations, there should be at least two years before the arrival of the apostle, and during this period, we are enough to unify the continent." ”
"Two years is too tight, the continent that has experienced the baptism of war cannot withstand the disaster brought by the apostles, and I don't quite agree with Your Majesty's plan. Priest Tano shook his head, even though his words were about His Majesty the Pope, he didn't have too many concerns.
"The seizure of power does not necessarily require war, a suitable puppet will do. Xilan took a deep breath, "Although I don't really like the yin and yang weird guys like Lan Ge, I have to admit that their tactics are sometimes really better than force. ”
"Your Excellency, we have digressed too much. Priest Tano reminded with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I've been thinking a little too much lately...... Xilan stood up: "Early tomorrow morning, I will let the paladin go out of the city to patrol, Iron Rock City can't be closed for too long." ”
......
"It's too cold! It's too cold!" A group of soldiers in the uniforms of the Dawn Kings patrolled the street corner for several minutes, stomping their feet and hiding in a corner where the cold wind could not blow, and they looked at the crusaders standing like iron towers in the cold wind, and said with some admiration: "The crusaders are really monsters, don't they feel cold and pain?"
"Anyway, I can't stand it, this kind of ghost weather has to patrol and stand guard, it's really not a human job......"
"In the royal capital, I haven't worked so hard!"
Silan and Priest Tano stood around the corner, listening to the soldiers' conversation, but the soldiers did not notice the two of them due to their sight.
"How can such a soldier defend the country, if he comes to defend against the enemy?" Xilan sneered, "How can such a country resist the iron hooves of the Holy See?"
"Not everyone has the spirit of fearing death," said Priest Tano with a smile instead, "and it is true that they are far from the Crusaders, but they are not useless. ”
"They are too slow to use as cannon fodder," Xi Lan's face was expressionless, "Such soldiers, let alone defending against monsters, even thieves pass by them, they don't bother to catch them!"
Priest Tano waved his hand, obviously not wanting to entangle with Xilan about the soldier's ethos, these soldiers had already been doomed since the day they were sent to Iron Rock City, perhaps they themselves knew it in their hearts.
Forced to leave the bustling royal capital and city, to the cold defense line thousands of miles away, to spend the day in the company of monsters.
If it sounds good, it is the deployment of troops, and if it is bad, it is to be dispatched.
"Is the Paladin leaving?"
"Already set off an hour ago. Xi Lan looked into the distance, his eyes were deep: "I hope he can bring me some good news." ”
......
In the snow-shrouded mountains, as far as the eye can see, all life is cut off, and the Shadow Mountains are shrouded in a dead air, an invisible silence.
From time to time, there were bulging snow bags in the snow, and a warhorse, much taller than the average horse, used its hooves to cut open the snow balls, revealing the blue-brown corpse of the Green Goblin inside.
From the foot of the mountain to here, the snow is covered with such large and small snow packs.
The paladin jumped off his horse in silence, and he looked through the corpse of the Green Goblin and found a fatal wound on his neck.
It was like being torn apart by sharp teeth, and it was fatal with one blow.
Those dragons, they're fierce.
The paladin rubbed the bloody scab on his palm with the snow, and looked at the tower in the depths of the Shadow Mountains that was getting closer and closer, and a trace of fear appeared in his mechanical eyes.
Even with his strong psychological intensity, he felt a sense of pressure and fear when facing the wonders of this continent that did not belong to this continent.
"Goo!"
As if to confirm the paladin's fear, a strange cry was heard in the distance.
