News (4)
After the end of the holiday and then I started to work, I found that after a year, I messed up the work and now it was a mess. The brain is a little confused~~
Sad days
"This is the only combat priest in the temple, and the leader of the priesthood, you can call him Reverend Mark Twain," said Lockhill Latser, the Grand Priest who led Chen Kai into the priest's hall, pointing to a priest sitting on the left side of the center, Chen Kai could feel the rich divine power emanating from him, and of course, a similar smell of incense that he almost forgot. At this moment, Chen Kai recalled that he seemed to have asked about this smell on Bishop Rong En's body, which was the incense that the battle priest specially used to cover the smell of blood on his body. Of course, this is not the pretense of the battle priests, but they do not want to pray in front of the gods with the smell of blood all over their bodies, and the targets of their battles are evil heretics, and the smell of blood on their bodies is not very good. But then again, the same is fighting heretics and terrifying creatures, and the Templars don't use incense much, so Chen Kai doesn't have that smell on his body.
"And this silent tribute to our brave Knight of Lilsaard, in the hope that he will return to the kingdom of the great Lord of the Dawn," the Archpriest said in a tone of great regret, and then took out a must-have bloody helmet from the spatial ring, as well as a broken sword, and inserted it into the empty seat of his right hand in the center. According to Chen Kai's understanding of the seating arrangement in the temple priest's hall, that position should be the position of the head of the temple knight guarding the temple. It's just that now this group leader has obviously gone to see Antolo, and it is estimated that when he returns to the kingdom of the Lord of Dawn, the two main gods will have to complete the negotiations.
Looking at the broken helmet and the broken long sword on the chair, Chen Kai once again had a new estimate of the strength of the ghoul in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that the form estimate was more difficult than he thought. After all, a ghoul who can kill the leader of the Templar Knight who is at least an eighth-order knight chief is definitely a terrifying being, and the leader of the Templar Knight Order is forced to not even escape for his life, obviously the other party's strength is much better than that leader.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the High Reverend, I want to ask when the reinforcements will arrive, according to the information I received, with the current strength of Sannoraser, it will be difficult to resist those ghouls" When everyone sat down, Chen Kai couldn't help but stand up and ask. When he didn't stand up, it was already very conspicuous, after all, the entire priest's hall was sitting except for him, a temple knight, who was standing, and as a traveler, it was already an unusual thing to be able to enter the priest's hall to discuss matters.
"I don't think we'll have reinforcements, in fact, I have even more unfortunate news here, this is just from the main temple of Dawn City, Tongguò Inner Circle, there are now at least thirteen places of ghouls in the entire Golden Great Plains, and they are all starting to spread outward, and the most important thing is that these areas are all places that have been marked with filth, which means that after the expulsion of our temple personnel, they will be completely occupied by ghouls. Therefore, I have reason to believe that the nobles of some regions have been completely degenerate," said Reverend Mark Twain, waving his fists and saying loudly, his voice a little low when he began to tell the sad news, but the more he got to the back, the more intense his voice became, as if he wanted to kill the fallen nobles with his own hands.
"Okay, Pastor Mark Twain, please pay attention to your feelings, now at this time, I should not count down the mistakes of those nobles, but should unite more people to get through this difficulty, the most important thing is that we must hold Sanorashar before we can gather enough troops in the temple, because we have reason to believe that the main direction of attack of those ghouls is definitely the Holy Mountain of the Temple, not the imperial capital with a large number of defensive troops" The archpriest knocked on his chair, and a crisp voice interrupted Pastor Mark Twain's words, It's just that his later words silenced everyone who participated in the meeting. Everyone knew exactly what was going on with the current situation, and from the map that was displayed with spells, Chen Kai could see that at least three towns where the ghoul plague broke out were around Sannorasser, and the nearest was only fifty-six kilometers away from Nokobi.
"It's really unfortunate news" Chen Kai looked at the west gate of Sanorasser with three black arrows pointing dejectedly, as if he saw tens of thousands of white-skinned ghouls appearing outside the city gate, and that posture was definitely not lost to the battle of Zela Fortress that ended not long ago.
"I think we're going to have a lot of difficulty, and now Sanorasser's strength is not enough, and we don't not only lack enough guards, but we also lack enough spellcasters and clerics. Although this should actually be a headache for the lord, we have to think about it, after all, we are also one of the founders of this city" Sitting next to the seat of the head of the Knights of the Templar was the deputy head of the Knights, Ramorasern, he was a strict man, at least that's what Chen Kai saw.
"In addition, our scouts got even worse news, two ghoul lords appeared among the ghouls who attacked the lord's troops and the Knights of the Templars, and our head of Lilsard died at the hands of those two ghoul lords" Sitting in the lower left hand is the scout group of the temple, of course, they belong to the supernumerary, but they are a little higher in rank than Chen Kai. Because at least they have seats, and Chen Kai can only stand.
"Is there any worse news," Chen Kai squatted on the ground depressed, and looked at the temple scout who stood up and spoke, even as a supernumerary member of the temple, this scout was still wearing the temple's battle robe, and the pure white and gold-inlaid cloak covered his head, so that the people around him could not see his face clearly.
"There should be bad news for you, because according to their forward route, the West City Gate is definitely their first point of attack" The scout leader glanced at Chen Kai with pity after speaking, because he knew that Chen Kai was the leader of the swordsman regiment guarding the West City Gate, and it was needless to say that facing those two ghoul lords head-on was definitely the end of nine deaths.
"Don't be too pessimistic about the Berkner knights, I think the two ghoul lords should be dealt with by the high-ranking personnel in the territory when the battle comes, as for you, you just need to guard the city gate" The high priest comforted Chen Kai and said, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this sentence is absolutely not credible, because the city is too big. The total combat power of the entire Sannorase above the eighth order is only a few hundred, and there are only two at the Sacred Domain level, and they are also dying old mages, and they are basically about to touch the grave. Although their strength can directly kill those two ghouls, but only if they have a chance to get close to those two guys.
When Chen Kai walked out of the temple, his mind was full of bad news, because when the discussion was about to end, the scout group of the temple suddenly broke in, bringing bad news again. The ghouls of the other two towns are also moving rapidly towards Sanorasse, and have moved to the northwest and southwest borders of the city. In addition to the ghoul lord Cunzài in the ghoul army, there are also several dark mages, whose faces are very similar to those of the guards and lords of the towns in the past. After hearing the news, the eyes of the entire council hall looking at Chen Kai were full of expectation and pity, and of course, there were more sighs, and in the end, Chen Kai got ten military priests, and two of them were also high healing priests of the Temple of Life. There are only four temples in the entire Sannorase, the first is the Temple of Dawn, the second is the Temple of the Goddess of Life, the third is the Temple of Antoluoshen without any guards, only a small temple, and the last one is the Temple of the Earth Goddess, but now that the Archbishop of the Earth Goddess has fallen, the entire temple has begun to decline, and there is not enough strength to help defend the city.
However, when Chen Kai returned to the hotel, he met the training officer of the Swordsman Regiment who had helped him train his soldiers, and he was informed that the manpower of his troops had increased, from one to two. Obviously, the lord also received news of the ghouls' actions in the other two directions, so he increased the manpower for Chen Kai. But what surprised him was that the new members of the Swordsman Regiment turned out to be all players, which made Chen Kai more depressed. He has no problem subduing a group of aborigines, at most he can show his strength, but if he wants to use his strength to subdue a group of players, Chen Kai has a headache. Therefore, Chen Kai directly threw the matter of training players to the training officer who came to report the news, and specifically pointed out that the player's training intensity was twice that of the aboriginal soldiers, and only in this way could those players not have the heart to mistreat Chen Kai. Of course, this is just a way to do it, after all, the speed at which players recover their energy is much faster than that of the natives, but at least they won't have too many complaints when training, after all, training can increase experience points and the speed is not slower than fighting monsters.
After sending the trainer away, Chen Kai closed the door again and planned to go offline to search for some information, but before he could climb into bed, the door that had just been closed was knocked again. Feeling extremely helpless, he could only get up from the bed depressed and prepare to walk to open the door, but when he opened the door, he saw a figure of a little girl, and it was a more familiar kind.
"Viv, why are you here?" Looking at the familiar little girl in front of him, Chen Kai felt very strange, because in his opinion, this little girl who had lost her relatives should be sent to the orphanage set up by the lord or the orphanage set up by the temple.
"Sannorasser's orphanage has been stuffed with children, we really don't know where to send her, you know, with us mercenaries, she will be an ordinary mercenary in her life, I heard that you are here, I brought her over, I hope you can adopt her for the sake of Lord Luhanad" Standing in front of Chen Kai was the mercenary leader Nosadri, his cheeks were left on Nokebi, and the black scar was the abrasive wound left by the ghoul's claws. It's just that his luck is better, and he has been treated by divine magic after his hands, so as to get rid of the danger of corpses.
"Come in and sit down, I'm sorry for his death," Chen Kai ushered Nosadri into the room, while picking up Viv, who had tears on her face. It's just that he found that the little girl had obviously been frightened too much, and her voice was temporarily lost. Therefore, he could not hear the sweet voice of the little girl, he could only hear her sobbing slightly.
"It's okay that you've done enough, it's normal for us as mercenaries to die during our missions, and this time we were able to survive so many thanks to Lord Luhanard's help. If it weren't for our drag, I guess he wouldn't have died" Nosadri sat on the edge of the table and looked very depressed, in the battle against the ghoul, no matter how strong his fighting spirit was, he couldn't stop the invasion of the injured corpse poison. In the end, he was spared by Luhanad's magic skills, and it was because Luhanad, who had too many magic to help them, was besieged and died due to exhaustion. The mercenary who has been helping his employer solve his troubles feels that his people are useless and seems extremely frustrated.
"How are your people now?" Chen Kai brought out a coffee pot, then poured a cup of hot coffee for the mercenary captain, and of course he also prepared a creamy snack and a cup of hot cocoa for the little girl. He hoped that something sweet would help the little girl get rid of her sorrow, but he regretted that he had no appetite for the firm sweet in front of him.
"Not so good! In fact, we all received a call from our lord, but we had almost lost the courage to stand up to the ghouls after escaping from Nocobi. We're scared, you know? As mercenaries, we are afraid of fighting, which means that we can't eat the mercenary bowl anymore, but we are really afraid. I'm afraid that I'll become a monster who has no sense and only knows how to eat meat like those poor people, and I will become a ghoul who can bite and eat my own children without knowing my relatives, and I can only wait quietly for death after being hurt. Those damn dark mages attached terrible corpse poison to the ghouls' claws, these corpse poisons have very powerful dark and death powers, ordinary fighting qi can't resist this corpse poison at all, and the antidote is not effective at all, if it weren't for the power of divine magic, it is estimated that none of us would be able to come back" Nosadri babbled, Chen Kai found that his hand holding the coffee was trembling when he spoke, obviously Nokby's battle made the old mercenary lose his courage.
"But you should know that there is no way to leave Sanorasser now, and even if you do, where will you go? At least thirteen towns across the plains have erupted in ghoul plagues, and they are now expanding and pressing towards the Holy Mountain. Maybe as soon as you leave the protection of the city, you will immediately fall into the endless attack of ghouls, so even if you don't want to fight, in order to survive, you must draw your weapons, or close your eyes and die" Chen Kai looked at the mercenary captain, his words made the big man on the other side a little stunned, of course, more shocked, because the coffee cup in his hand was frightened. Originally, he thought that the Ghoul Plague was just Nokko, but now he heard the news as if it were the end of the world.
"I was shocked when I heard the news, but I had more difficulties than you, because I was about to bring a bunch of new men who had never been to the battlefield to fight those ghouls. These little guys may not have seen ghouls look like before, the only hope I have is that they won't pee their pants when they see those moving corpses" Chen Kai sighed, to be honest, he was really afraid that those recruits who had not been on the battlefield would not act as deserters, because then Chen Kai would have to set up a law enforcement team to kill them, and this was the last thing he wanted to see.
"And what do you want me to do for you? Help you train your soldiers? Or do you fight? Nosadri looked at Chen Kai helplessly, obviously he knew Chen Kai's intentions, obviously he wanted their group of mercenaries who had fought with ghouls to join those newcomers. It could act as a law enforcement team, it could act as a reserve, and of course, more likely as a last shield.
"The lord will do the training of soldiers, in fact I am similar to you, except that you are in gold and I just want to complete this task as soon as possible. Of course, now you have one more rule, and that is to survive in this battle" Chen Kai knew that the person in front of him had already agreed to his request, of course, Chen Kai could not cross the lord to hire gold coins for him, because that was not his authority, after all, it was the lord who recruited him.
"But do you think you have a chance to transfer me to your men?" Nosadri raised one last question, as they were recruited by their lords, and mercenaries who were recruited during the war could not be hired by others, and any employment or verbal agreements were not recognized, and could be considered contempt or conspiracy.
"Of course you just have to wait" Chen Kai smiled at the other party, and then stroked poor Viv's hair, the poor little girl had just eaten a little sweet and then lay on the bed and fell asleep. Poor little Wyvern Donnie has now become a little girl's pillow, and is being held tightly in each other's arms. It's just that what makes Chen Kai more depressed is that he doesn't feel cold no matter how he looks at it, and the little flying dragon with hard scales has the potential to hold a pillow.
In the afternoon of the same day, Nosadri appeared in Chen Kai's swordsman camp, followed by all the remaining members of the mercenary group. They lost a swordsman and a scout in the battle they fled from Nocobi, but their overall strength was still intact. Although they were very surprised by Chen Kai's vast supernatural behavior, they were more relieved when they saw the ten temple priests in the swordsman camp, at least they didn't have to worry about the temple priests who didn't have to worry about the lack of divine treatment after they were injured.
Originally, Chen Kai also wanted to hold a welcome party or a speech after Nosadri entered the camp to adjust the atmosphere, and at the same time, he could also check the training progress of the team, but what made him depressed was that he had just arrived at the swordsman camp and received a very bad news.
"Alright guys, stop the training, and then add dinner in the evening, and hopefully this dinner will not be your last, and the only thing I ask of you is to hold on to your shields, and then stuff as much cotton or rags as you can in your armor, and even better if there is leather. Only in this way can you have more chances of surviving the attack, as for any heroism and the like, if you want to go to see His Excellency Antolo as soon as possible, then try to do it Finally, I declare one thing, whether it is a traveler or an aborigine, it is the same as a deserter" Chen Kai pulled his hand across his neck, he thought that such a straightforward action would be understood as long as he was not a fool.
